Black and Chourio started this off with two really good ABs.

It’s on MLB and it’s glorious. Last inning they even showed dejected fans and pouting kids in their wrigleyville merch their parents forced them to wear. Poor kids.

A new day is a new lease!

Today we will beat Cease!

We are on the increase!

Padres are on the decrease!

Making friars/fryers of the Padres

is one of Rea's special fillets!

That's a shame:

Imanaga got tagged for 10ER, 3IP.

Velo was down about 2 mph and the command was lousy. Potential injury watch?

I think I might lose it if they have Frelick hitting 5th and Ortiz 8th again. 

I usually don't fuss too much about the batting order because in most cases it doesn't matter that much. But putting a light hitter with minimal power in the 5th spot makes no sense when there are better options to place behind the team's best hitters. I think the value of religiously alternating LH and RH hitters has its limits.

Personally, I would put Turang and Ortiz 1-2 against a RHP to increase the chances of getting at least one speedy runner on base ahead of the middle of the order. After Yelich I would put Contreras 4th and Adames 5th, but I don't see Murphy doing that.

Having Frelick 5th highlights how badly this team needs a better LH hitter with some power to plug into that part of the order. Maybe they will be able to get someone like Santana to fill that role. Or maybe Mitchell could do it. but he hasn't been able to stay healthy long enough to know what he can contribute. Or maybe Black would fit better there when he plays

I wonder if Frelick is playing as much as he is because they're giving him a chance to show that he deserves to stay when Mitchell comes back. There isn't room on the roster for all of Mitchell. Chourio, Perkins, and Frelick, and Frelick seems to me like the one who provides the least value.

 

 

 

Note: If I raise something as a POSSIBILITY that does not mean that I EXPECT it to happen.

I have a good friend who is from Milwaukee & a longtime Brewer fan. He lives outside Chicago & works for one of the network affiliates there. Let's just say he's enjoying his job these days.

I coming bearing bad news BC. I agree with you though. Frelick hitting 5th because of the batters box he stands in is stupid.

I understand wanting to break up the righty-lefty matchups. I don't always agree that it needs to be a strict adherence and sometimes it's nice to balance the lineup. I think Ortiz needs more at-bats, period. I don't know that it needs to come at the replacement of the guys at the top.

I think you could get a little more creative and start Ortiz at the top and Turang at 2 against a righty and the world wouldn't stop spinning.

Wasn't it Murphy who said in spring that the best hitters would get the most ABs?  Maybe they don't consider Ortiz one of the best hitters.

but it's not like every guy suddenly forgot every piece of advice he gave

About a week ago I brought up the idea of Turang-Ortiz-Yelich at the top, that I don't expect it anytime soon but maybe later, or in 2025. Right now they just seem really happy with Contreras hitting ahead of Yelich.
