[wibadgers23]

Counsell said after yesterday’s game that Wong wouldn’t start but could possibly be available at some point during the game.

[pacopete4]

Counsell can continue to mix and match all season long. Keep guys fresh. Keep at-bats flowing for all. And more importantly, keep winning games.

[CheezWizHed]

Cubs are 16-23 on the road (23-16 at home).

Ok……I feel better now

Some moves

 

[markedman5]

Sticking to the 6 man rotation for extra rest and to limit innings

 

Craig Counsell says Corbin Burnes is going to pitch the opener Thursday in Pittsburgh.

 

Brewers are still TBA for Wednesday's series finale with the Cubs.

[homer]

I saw the Cubs lineup and wondered why Jace PeDerson was leading off.

[ecjimg]

When was the last time we had a 6 game division lead? Ok getting a little ahead …..

[Devinep]

What was the corresponding move core Pablo Reyes?

[wibadgers23]

The Pablo Reyes era will never end.

Lame. There’s a time to do that and it shouldn’t be now. Corbin had extra rest while he was on the COVID list. The Cubs are clearly our chief competition in the division, every game counts (see 2007).

[umphrey]

If you look at the season numbers that Hiura Bradley pitcher bottom of the lineup has to be the worst by a wide margin so I'm hopeful 1 or both of those guys can keep up some momentum

[markedman5]

What was the corresponding move core Pablo Reyes?

Ryan Weber to Nashville

Suter start/bullpen day? Given both Cousins and Sanchez regularly went multiple innings in the minors and the pen should be fresh enough following Peralta and Woodruff, that should get a solid 6 innings. Lindblom's last start means he won't be selected. And I really don't want to see Bettinger.

Ashby?

A bullpen day against the Cubs? Crissakes

I do not get this at all. Frustrating. It was set up beautifully for this series. In fact, I thought perhaps that was one of the reasons they went to 6 man rotation for a while - to set this series up. With your top three pitchers, you have a chance to sweep, put the Cubs 6 back, and maybe by mid month both the Cards and Cubs are deciding that are not going to be buyers at the deadline. Does not make any sense.

There's so much more baseball to go, why risk it with Burnes. Keep the pitchers on the schedule they've planned for, it's June.

They are playing the Cubs!! This is a key series! A Brewers win in this series is a Cubs loss. Why not take a break right now from the 6 man rotation and then going back to it after this series?

[sixtolezcano16]

Craig has never really had a good handle on our pitching staff. Sometimes I think he consults a ouija board on lineups and pitching selections.

It's June and I trust Craig/the Brewers braintrust here. If it was August or September, absolutely start Burnes. No reason to alter your season-long pitching plan to keep your guys healthy for a pre-All-Star break series. Who's to say that the Brewers can't win a bullpen game against a washed up Jake Arrieta anyways?

[Eye Black]

I’d love for Burnes to pitch Wednesday, but the five days of rest is something they’ve committed to so I understand it. I also think it’s also possible that the extra day of recovery is improving pitcher performance somewhat.
