The Milwaukee Brewers Thread - CY Burnes, 2021 NL Central Champs

One other part of this game that is getting zero publicity:

Jack Flaherty 2 times through the order: 18 BF (obviously), 5 IP, 4 H, 1 R/ER, 0 BB, 5 K. Was basically money except for the homer to Braun.
Jack Flaherty 3rd time through the order: 4 BF, 0.1 IP, 0 H, 2 BB, 1 HBP. The only out he got was a would-be double from Cain that Gyorko made a great play on.

The Cardinals didn't have the luxury of pulling Flaherty "early", and had to pay the 3rd time through the order penalty. He had a blister so it was way worse than it otherwise might have been, but the Cardinals' lack of bullpen depth essentially gifted us 2 runs in a game we won by 2.

For all the crap Counsell gets for pulling guys too early, this is the other side of that coin.

90 wins ladies and gents (that was for you pugger). 3.5 up in the wild card with 5 games to go.

Pretty much just need 1 more win in St. Louis to wrap this bad boy up. Hopefully we can use the Detroit series to get some rest for our bullpen or maybe force the Cubs to not rest their main players.

:D

Man, I hope we can take this series.   It would be sweet indeed if we could find a way to win the division.
