Tyler Mahle continues to build on his 2020 (3.59 ERA, 3.88 FIP, 4.59 xFIP, 11.3 K/9, 4.0 BB/9). So far:

1.74 ERA, 2.81 FIP, 3.05 xFIP, 13.5 K/9, 3.9 BB/9 in 20.2 IP. His walk rate is still high but he's getting a ton of K's.

The Cardinals starting pitching rotation had a combined 6.24 ERA in their first 3 turns. In their 4th turn they had a combined ERA of 1.47.

Now that's more like it!

Brewers are 3rd in FIP and xFIP, 4th in K-BB% and they own the highest ground ball rate in MLB.


I am just enjoying it while it lasts. I will be listening tonight to see how long it can continue before the first walk

Thanks for the post was a fun read

Your brew crew is on a roll with their pitching, that's for sure.

Thanks and yes tonight did not go well for Burnes as far as runs allowing 5 so far. They should have pulled him an inning earlier but I guess he still has not had a walk and a bunch more strike outs. But runs are what loses games. The crew is down 5 - 0 late in the game. They are going against a good Miami pitcher

I think this NL Central will play out just like it usually does by going into the last week of the season to determine a winner.

Burnes is still the real deal even though he had a bad outing tonight.

Believe me, me neither. Of course though they’re just teasing us no doubt, it’s still nice to see while it lasts.

The Pirates are obviously the surprise team in the NL Central so far as this division remains close from top to bottom. In fact, all divisions are close so far which is what makes baseball a great game.

Man, if the Cardinals could just have Carlos Martinez could turn it around that would be huge

I couldn't have said that any better!

In addition to this, Reyes has not blown a save yet but he is not a clean closer by allowing too much drama in the 9th recently.

Yeah like we chatted on the other forum the Pirates will start "pirating" soon. :D

Seeing their only hope of a starting Pitcher flat out suck (Keller) and their run differential getting worse they could be 12-20 soon enough.

They might as well get started this weekend by being swept.

After our pitching has started to show signs of coming together we are having issues all of a sudden with Waino going on the Covid DL because a family member tested positive and Miller going on the DL with a bad toe.

Concerning the Pirates, no matter how good or bad they seem to be they always seem to play us tough. I just hope we win the weekend series.

Ponce has also went on the DL.

Miller not being here is a plus.
