Brewers (Lauer) vs Mariners (Gonzales): 4/19/23, 3:10pm

[Brock Beauchamp]

Let's go ahead and get the sweep, shall we?

PS. This team is pretty fun, y'all.

[Underachiever]

Been a great ride this season. So cool to see the young guys getting their chances. Rea hung in there last night, and the bullpen has been great. I feel as if they have strung together hits in an inning more times than they did all of last year. 6-3 on a west coast trip blows my mind.
 

I know this is a game thread, sorry for the optimism!

Team would be more fun if we didn't have a new injury every night...ugh.

Broom is ready!

Glad for an afternoon game, even though I can only check the score. (Man gotta work.) These West Coast swings are rough on the sleep/work cycle.

Day baseball makes working from home even better

I will be a-beamin'

If the Brewers sweep the Seamen.

Looks like the brewers are going to back to the 1980s AL east days with the rest of the schedule this month

[TURBO]

 

Brewers prospect Sal Frelick is out of Triple-A Nashville's lineup on Wednesday because of a thumb injury.

On his 23rd birthday, too. A healthy Frelick might be a candidate for a callup to Milwaukee as a result of Garrett Mitchell's injury. However, he's not off to a very good start this year, having hit .232/.318/.321 in 15 games for Nashville.

Was hoping the D-backs could finish off the sweep today, but then I realized Madison Bumgarner was pitching...That's one contract that's nearly as bad as Yelich's.

[AKCheesehead]

For a split second I got excited thinking that was Chi Chi going for the Ms tonight, until I saw LHP. 

I took a quick look on bref.  In case you're wondering (and you're probably not) Chi Chi is with Miami's AAA club with a very Chi Chi like 1.5 WHIP this season so far.

Marco is a contact pitcher who doesn't crack 90. He pounds the strike zone and gets a ton of ground balls when he's on. The key to beating him is hitting his misses out of the park. He's been a little wild this year so the Brewers need to take their BBs today if he's not throwing strikes. 

[BruisedCrew]

A soft tossing lefty against the Brewers less than imposing batting order against LHP does not inspire optimism. 

[brewerfan82]

Hoping the top half of the lineup gets it done today...

How is anybody supposed to hit this guy?

There's a reason he's basically top 2 in every single pitching stat among RP since 2020.

[owbc]

Can't wait to see all of the hot takes on Scherzer getting tossed! 

[stoutdude04]

I see Cutch is on fire to start the year.

[igor67]

Yahoo gamecast still has last nights Win probability graphic in it. I'm a big fan of the 100% win probability in the top of the 2nd.

[Brewcrew82]

Gonzales seems like he's going to be the typical soft tossing lefty that shuts us down and approaches a career high in Ks

He's never had a double digit strikeout game in his career. Hopefully that continues to be true at the end of the day.

Brice is so smooth with the glove.

I APOLOGIZED, OKAY?!?! 
 

I don’t fully trust Lauer, okay? How’s that?
