The ERA under two says otherwise.

The games the last two Sundays say it is. 

[HarryDoyle]

Strahm is all over the place. I like it.

[Bulldogboy]

Just missed

Today? He didn't even give up an earned run. Should've been out of the inning with a DP.

You're picking outliers in an otherwise great record so far. It's a risk just as it is that any pitcher, even Devin Williams, won't have it that day.

[Brewcrew82]

That one doesn't get out? Sigh...

[jason21nl]

Ugh.  I thought he got it

[82brewcrew82]

Cripes, needed that to get out.

[Bulldogboy]

Run and stay out of dp

Also, don't swing at balls from a struggling pitcher.

So you prefer him with runners on base? That doesn't make any sense. 

I don’t necessarily prefer it, but he would have been out of this inning with one pitch if Turang  turns the DP. 

So he can be used with runners in base. 

[82brewcrew82]

Or watch third strikes.  This is just as much on the offense as it is anything else.

[jason21nl]

Green light.  Hit one to the moon here

[Brewcrew82]

Another missed chance. Story of the day.

He's gonna K.

[HarryDoyle]

What a disappointing inning the way Strahm was all over the place. That might be it.

[Bulldogboy]

Brewers inning. 

[kevinisaname]

Ugh, rough offensive game.

[Brewcrew82]

Chafin about to put us out of our misery here.

[yourout]

Tough day with RISP. 

0 for 6

Not really.  More normal than not this season.

Santana can't be up there guessing with 2 strikes and a man on 3rd with less than 2 outs. Take a hack. Even a flyball gets a run. Can't go down looking. 

[DuWayne Steurer]

needed to cash at least one run in there.

[Brewcrew82]

Turner and Castellanos the previous inning should've been the clear and obvious warning sign for CC...

Seems like a Brewers problem in general. In the old days guys would choke up a bit and slap it somewhere or something.

You’re just arguing in circles now.  He certainly wouldn’t have gotten out of the inning in one pitch if he started the inning. But after that one pitch he ran into some problems. 

So, having him start the inning last week didn’t work out.

Bringing him in today with a runner on base could have worked out.

Those two outings together don’t suggest that he should only be used to start an inning. But, with a pitcher who can be wild there is going to be risk either way.
