Pirates at Brewers; Wednesday, June 25 @ 1:10 p.m.: Jacob Misiorowski (1.64 ERA, 3.61 FIP) vs. Paul Skenes (1.85 ERA, 2.48 FIP)

This was the first time I have really seen Mis pitch live on video (I have seen clips from the minors and full highlights from his two earlier starts, but haven't been able to sit live for any of his starts until today--I have been missing out. The cutter/slider is really the standout for me. That thing is so filthy, and it has more movement than Burnes' cutter, which was up there with the Sheets curve in terms of the best single pitches I've seen a starter throw (really, Devin's change and Hader's FB are the only relief pitches that come close to those. From what I see, the guy is doing insane things. He'll probably get hurt. I don't know what to count on in terms of how excited I should be about the guy's future. But, man, the present is fun. Not going to be missing any more of these starts.

Bad misplay and bad decision by Collins, two batters in a row.

[Brian]

What the heck got into Collins this inning.

[Frisbee Slider]

Why Grant Anderson on back to back days?

I hope DL Hall can pitch today.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Let's add on a few. No need to make this interesting.

Nice work by Anderson to get out of it

I’m guessing Uribe in the 8th and Megill in the 9th if the Brewers don’t add on.

Off day tomorrow, I suppose, too.

Yes a full house of paying customers give them a fun victory, so they come back and spend more...

[Matthew Trueblood]

A little worrisome that Uribe is sitting mostly 97 working on zero days' rest. He might be a guy you want to schedule more, even if it costs you a little bit of potential leverage over the course of the season.

[kevinisaname]

Abner a little too wild, getting behind guys. Now the tying run it at the plate. Goody.

[kevinisaname]

Phew. Abner not helped by the ump on that last one...

[willie key]

I’m a little nervous for this one

Brewers never seem to get help from umps when relievers are in there.

Trevor with an uninteresting 9th for a Brewers' win! Let's sweep the Rockies!

[duewizard]

Nice win! Rest up and go beat the Rockies!

[OldSchoolSnapper]

And just like that, the Brewers sit at the halfway point on pace for 90 wins, I would say likely to surpass that given a pretty sluggish start to the year and the added assets to the team. It was looking bleak for about a month there, but they look competitive again.

What a great day for Brewer baseball!

Miz's hits allowed per game jumped from 0.5 to 1.333 today. Tsk tsk.

I think your math is off.  Doesn't he have 3 starts and 3 hits allowed?

D'oh! I had 1.0 at first, and then remembered 2 hits today and confused myself. You're right!

He pitches every day, you didn't know?

5 IP 2H 2BB 8K. Just wow. Miz will never be Maddux but if he can limit the walks the way he has recently then this is the Ace we all dreamt he could become

Miz and Maddux couldn't be more different pitchers...  Weird comparison.

Miz might be in over his head in this one, Skenes is awfully good

This kind of didn't age well... :)
