Brewers (Miley) vs Nationals (Gore): 8/2/23, 12:05pm

[Brock Beauchamp]

A day game with The Ace on the mound!

[Jake McKibbin]

Thankfully, the Brewers have been doing much better against lefties recently, the only team to really knock about Andrew Abbott at all

Contreras 182 WRC+

Monasterio 172 WRC+

Wiemer 145 WRC+

Mark Canha 111 WRC+

Carlos Santana 100 WRC+ 

Willy Adames 99 WRC+

 

Likely to see Turang benched as he's struggled vs lefties, maybe Toro at second or third unless they prioritise defense from Turang over Toro's bat, or even Owen Miller at second base

MacKenzie Gore has been getting a lot of swing and miss (40%+) on his curveball and slider, but also regularly enough hanging them. Both have below average profiles movement wise, so hoping he can be got to early and ride out a nice easy win... that's how the crew do it right?

Last nights win was probably the most comfortable in a long time, and it was by two runs for goodness sake

I didn’t know Miley was back already

At least until the Cubs knocked him out of the game in the fourth inning on Monday. And they did it in their first try.

Yep, and Woody made a start in AAA yesterday, going 4.2 innings!

I'm glad the Brewers finally realized that Miller has cooled and shouldn't be getting meaningful atbats. Despite my anti-Miller sentiment, it's more likely that simply Monasterio has outplayed him and deserves the roster spot more than Miller right now.

[RobertCrawley]

Nice to see Miley back! I hope he's feeling good!

Frelick listed as day-to-day in the injury report on Gamecast - did he do something yesterday?

[Brewcrew82]

Some really good contact that inning.

Crashed into the wall while trying to catch a ball on the warning track ...

[Team Canada]

Duh, that's right. Makes sense he's out today.

Loud contact all over the place so far today.

[treego14]

TnT -- Tyrone Taylor!

We're finally getting the band back together.

Still have to deal with the transition as Miley and Woodruff work their way back in. The bullpen is going to be busy, especially if Burnes and Peralta can’t go past the 6th inning.

It's not that often anymore than any pitcher in the MLB goes past the 6th inning.

Also, Corbin Burnes went 8 innings just two starts ago. 

[Underachiever]

4 1/2 innings in under an hour. 

There's more buzz in the stands in an average spring training game, too.

[Brewcrew82]

Braves lit up Angel's new acquisition Lucas Giolito for 9 runs. We feel ya halos.

Yep. He was humming under 100 pitches.

[RobertCrawley]

How about some runs today, Brewers?

[wibadgers23]

Still waiting for the new acquisitions to make an appearance…

[willie key]

This team can’t hit
