Chourio needs to figure things out with the chasing. It's been horrible this year. Coming into today his chase rate was 50% against breaking balls and he had two horrific chases against Miller in the 9th. I don't know if it's a vision problem or trying too hard to pull the ball leading to him getting his swing started too early, but it's become a problem.

He's been susceptible to the breaking ball away. I'm sure he's working on identifying the pitch coming out of the pitcher's hand.

Yes! Both have been incredible & have helped us in an emergency with our pitching staff. I hope they continue to add value once the guys on the IL return.

When you pitch one inning and give up a run and your ERA goes down substantially, you’ve got issues.

I'm not usually a big "feel" guy regarding who I think is going to win a close game. But I really thought we were done tonight after Turang singled in the 6th. One out, tying run on, good speed, Chourio & Yelich coming up.

Two pitches later, inning over. And neither ball hit hard. That was a sad sequence.

Gotta hand it to Patrick though. And Anderson continues to impress.

I worry that Anderson isn't in their long term season plans based on the ridiculous usage he's had this season. He's been in the Brewers bullpen for 20 days and has thrown 12.1 innings. This usage is not sustainable. Brewers really need to get Payamps out of the pen and option Hudson to AAA so we don't have two guys that Murphy is going to actively avoid using going forward.

I’m more concerned with Hudson moving forward than I am with Payamps

Both should be replaced soon in the bullpen if we want to remain competitive into the summer

Patrick has been great. Gotta wonder what happens to him when all hands on deck? Guessing he's here to stay?

Henderson goes back to AAA when Myers returns next week. Patrick stays in the rotation. He probably stays in the rotation until he starts to struggle.

Who knows, maybe Patrick could be the 2025 Myers and stick. Not very likely but one can dream.

I feel a resurrection coming!

Considering he high BP usage I don't see them going with only Koenig from the left side. Not to defend Hudson, but I don't know if he goes anywhere as long as Ashby is out (early May?) unless they want to add someone like Jay.

You may be right re Anderson. Hope you aren't.
