Brewers (Woodruff) vs White Sox (Scholten): 8/12/23, 6:10pm

[Brock Beauchamp]

Nice win yesterday that I wasn't able to watch because I had the audacity to cross the Wisconsin border by six miles and visit my cabin.

It sure is nice to type Burnes as the starter one day, then follow that up with Woodruff the next. Today appears to be a nationally televised game on Fox so keep that in mind.

Can’t get a sweep without winning the first two so let’s get this one.  
 

quick question.   I’m too lazy to look it up.    Do rosters expand in September?

Yes. To 28 players

I completely forgot about winker.   We are going to cut him or can we send him to the minors?

we can’t waste a roster spot on him

Brewers really could use a Woodruff gem and a nice offensive game to let the A-pen rest. Williams, Payamps, Uribe would all be pitching for the 4th time in 5 days and Peguero threw 21 pitches last night. 6 strong from Woodruff with 5+ from the offense would be very ideal.

Wouldn’t it be nice to win 7-2.    Why does it have to be extremes with this team.   Either win by 15 runs or some drawn out one run grinder

I’d be really happy to see him pitch 5 really good innings or around 80 pitches. I worry that he’s reinjure himself if he goes too hard too soon.

He went 5 IP with 85 pitches last start. Don't see why he would need to throw fewer pitches this outing.

Frelick in CF. No Wiemer against the RHP. Good.

[Jake McKibbin]

Have to say Taylor's AB's of late have looked much more like Tyrone of last year, an Andover average OPS with limited OBP and can slug a little more gan average. I like this move

Very true. If he stays about there for a while, I'd be ok with that. Baseball is pretty binary in this respect, is it not? You're either healthy, or you're not.

I wonder if there is a study of pitching arm injuries in cold spring weather vs warm summer weather.

Sweep these bums please.

Looks like the cubs will.    

[Brewcrew82]

I don't know if we'll win the division, but I feel pretty confident at this point that the Brewers will make the playoffs, barring a series of pitching injuries. 

Confidence is reflected in their roughly 80% playoff odds. 

[willie key]

80% only comes in 50% of the time

Not how it works. Only two possible outcomes, yes, but 80% chance of one particular outcome happening.

Congrats to Levering on getting the National broadcast.

We are pretty lucky to keep having good broadcasters come through MKE. 

Gotta be a Uecker effect of some sort.

Although there's only a 10% chance of that.

[HarryDoyle]

Contreras looked silly that at bat.

[Brewcrew82]

That's a really bad call.
