Surprised Burnes is pitching on regular rest. I thought he would be pushed back a start. When a pitcher asks to come out… I don’t care for what, it is best practice to give him a few extra days… Burnes especially and mostly. 

He's pitching on 5 days rest not normal rest.

Precisely. Right now, CC is giving him the Narvaez treatment when Contreras' bat is so much better...

His bat is better because of the rest/recovery?

He’s pitching in his regular spot in the rotation… after Miley.  Normal, not pushed back. He gets the benefit of the off day.

No. Contreras' bat is just better, period. Hits the ball way harder than Narvaez ever has in his career. 

[Brewcrew82]

They got a cheap hit. We got a gift strike 3 call.

[Brewcrew82]

Corbin needs to throw the cutter up in the zone more. Can't be exclusively working in the lower half.

[Brewcrew82]

I hate Turner. Come on, Perkins!

[brewcrewdue80]

I dunno, maybe Burnes requested Caratini catch since his 8IP shutout start was with Caratini behind the plate. Or that it's just Sunday.

[BruisedCrew]

Not the start the Brewers needed from Burnes with the bottom of the rotation coming up the next 3 days. 

[Brewcrew82]

Unearned run.

Not much was Burnes' fault there...Didn't give up any hard contact and had an error and a bunt-swing single..

[Brewcrew82]

Elevate that Yeli!

[Underachiever]

Turned it on late. What was the error?

Ok, but at that rate, he is taking almost 50 games off.

I'm fine with 25 even 30 off from catching,  but he needs to see more days at DH when not catching.

I’m guessing he will be at DH more against LHP with Voit at 1B. It’s just that the Brewers (happily) haven’t faced many LH starters so far. I’m sure that’s going to change given how poor the Brewers are against them.

Perkins bobbled a single to right that allowed the runner to advance to third and eventually score on a Sac fly. 

[BruisedCrew]

This first inning is a throwback to the old days (last year) of 4 hour games. 

[Brewcrew82]

Come on Anderson. I like the addition (Where would we be without him?), but he still strikes out too much. 

[BruisedCrew]

Burnes is completely out of sorts. I hope it isn’t something physical. Going to be a short start regardless.

Typical

Come on burnes.  
 

Cripes sakes

[BruisedCrew]

The Brewers are lucky Eduardo Rodriguez is pitching for the Tigers today. He’s a tough lefty that would give the Brewers a hard time.

[HarryDoyle]

It's not going to be long for Burnes at this rate.

 

[willie key]

Burnes with another crappy start

Defensive miscues and 20 foot base hits aren't helping either.
