GDT : Cards @ Brewers (6/12) ~ 7:40pm CDT

[cardstatman]

an EXTENDED look at Granillo

Hope he enjoys his short stay in the majors. After this many pitches they are likely to send him back down

No need to send him down. Oli is employing his strategy of only pitching 8 innings per game on the road. Saves the bullpen.

Noot
4-6-3
holy cow
one for his last 27

[icon]

Just when you think Noot can't get worse, he hits into 2 outs with 1 swing.

[11WSChamps]

Really need to sit Nootbar a few days but with Donovan hurting and Walker on rehab not a lot of options.

[Bob Kunush]

WC throws out WC
brother throws out brother

stupid chance to take down 6-0

That was some unbelievably stupid baseball.

Wouldn't it be nice if we had a manager that said it was stupid? Instead he'll say he likes the aggressiveness.

At least your Oli bashing is creative. Finding fault with the manager for a players bad decision.

No replacement available!

Well, their kid hurler did a great job pitching, not so good getting back on the rubber. What a klutz. Turned his ankle walking back up the mound. Well, chalk up another one I've never seen before in watching baseball.

yea, pretty odd

If he retired now, would he be the only pitcher to never give up a hit in his career?

Interesting question... But according to Google's coPilot AI software it has never happened...

1915 guy pitched 3 innings in the majors, no hits, no walks

2004, 3.2 IP, 0 hits, but 5 BB

https://www.baseball-reference.com/play ... ph01.shtml

There’s a bunch of other guys that went 1 or 2 IP with no hits

...I think I phrased the question to CoPilot as a pitcher getting the win. But, rereading T-P's question, that is not what he asked... My bad... Still pretty rare for a MLB pitcher to retire after pitching in a game and not giving up any hits...

Contreras tryna steal a base down 6 runs, wtf

He's an idiot! You can't make this **** up!

Got 3 hits in inning without a run.
Cost us a run.
Would be our luck to come back and lose 6-5 now.
Like the 10-9where Roycroft gave gift run wild pitch.

lol Contreras doesn’t need to be told it was stupid the look on his face showed he knew it was stupid

Plus any manager that would call a player stupid in front of the public is a pretty poor manager.

It was a dumb play but this game has a look to it that says we aren't coming back. We look deflated.

Sometimes you need a manager that's willing to call out your "stars" for sheer stupidity or they will continue to do as they please. If Vlade did that on his own would he pat him on the back? I think not.

For a pitcher that’s there to pitch, obviously yes. Most of the players with 0 hits allowed were position players pitching in blowouts.

[BIG J]

Typical of the Cardinals against a first time pitcher. Seems this has been their long-time history. Not sure how or why, but they always make these guys look good.

[Cusecards]

One consolation.....I doubt WC does that again anytime soon?
Game was a lost cause anyway!

Not a small sample size either. If I were another organization, I'd be calling up every rookie and lefty starter I could when facing the Cards. It seems to work a very large percentage of the time.

Well, that was not your ordinary first-time pitcher. He was dealing.
