Red Sox at Brewers; Monday, May 26 @ 1:10 p.m.: Chad Patrick (3.23 ERA, 3.43 FIP) vs. Garrett Crochet (1.98 ERA, 2.71 FIP)

[LouisEly]

79 pitches working a 3-hit shutout into the 5th is ridiculous

[HarryDoyle]

That was a Paul Molitor double.

[Underachiever]

Shadows “making it tough for an offensive player to hit right now” 

You don’t say. 

[LouisEly]

Crochet just served up a meatball and Chourio just missed it.

[treego14]

Mono or Sterio?

Who Cares!

Andru is tuned in!

[Brewer77]

Pretty much an identical situation as Patrick’s last time out. They didn’t trust him the 3rd time through against one of the best LH hitters in the game. With more length options now available in the pen and looking at a close margin with Crochet on the mound, I just can’t get mad at that particular decision 

[edfunderburk]

If nothing else - Murphy is consistent

He'd have to nod off mid-game for a starting pitcher to go more than six innings 

[sveumrules]

From 2020-24 among 212 hitters with at least 400 PA against LHP, William Contreras tied for 3rd with a 165 wRC+ over 501 PAs. Only Judge (189) & Goldschmidt (179) were better and the other two at a 165 wRC+ were Ketel Marte and Yordan Alvarez.

This year among 180 hitters with at least 40 PA against LHP, William Contreras ranked 160th with a 34 wRC+ over 64 PAs entering today's game.

Hall provides a little bit of long relief as well. He'll probably get at least the seventh.

Patrick 1st time (89 PA)
256/348/308

Patrick 2nd time (90 PA)
229/258/325

Patrick 3rd time (36 PA)

Really the issue is the score was 1-0. If Brewers offense could score runs our starters would be going 6 innings a lot more. Patrick would have probably gone 6 innings today if we were up 3 or 4 to 0.

Man, that was a beautiful dp 

[LouisEly]

Maybe seeing Crochet throw 108 pitches will inspire Murphy.

Inspire him to throw Uribe six days a week

[Frisbee Slider]

I’m glad Hall is back out there to pitch the eighth 

[LouisEly]

Pitches 3 and 4 in that AB could easily have been strikes.

[LouisEly]

Ump not giving the high strike this inning at all.

Got to start overusing Hall and Ashby so they end up back on the IL.

Will Ashby get an appearance this week?

Or the low strike apparently

[Brewer77]

Getting the shaft this inning. Brutal 

[wiguy94]

Pat Murphy just has no clue how to manage a bullpen .

[Brock Beauchamp]

Uribe was pissedddddddddddd

Not sure what there is to complain about in today's game with the bullpen management.

Uribe just threw for the 6th time in 9 days with a 36 pitch multi-inning outing in there. He's also thrown 27 times in 51 active games. Just absolutely insane usage.
