Yeah, we gotta stop trying to squeeze two innings out of McGee, he clearly can’t go two.

If he can get two more outs … he will be on a flight to Nashville tomorrow morning.

Have to think he’s getting sent down tomorrow after these walks and 40 pitches or whatever he will end up with

[edfunderburk]

Too bad Bauers is on the IL

[willie key]

Myers will be back tomorrow

 

How long do we have to wait for miller

Myers can’t come back yet unless they put someone on the IL. 

[markedman5]

Not good McGee 

[adambr2]

McGee should probably make sure his Sounds’ uniform is pressed tonight.

He pitched in AAA tonight, and blew up with 6 ER in 1.1 IP.

Just saw we DFA'd Pegeuro and Hudson.  So Henderson, Patrick, or Rodriguez?

[wallus]

Use em up Nationals

80% chance McGee experiences arm soreness, real or imagined tomorrow 

[edfunderburk]

If Burnes & Woodruff started their careers in Milwaukee’s bullpen, why can’t a few of our young minor league starters. We need quality arms that can get big league outs. Patrick, Henderson, Myers … all are much better than this rag arm.

Ooof

[edfunderburk]

We’ve had a few games like this in 2025 where we struggle to get the outs to close the game. 

[Nola Beery]

Just got in. Who's pitching and why is he still pitching?

That’s been a lot less common since MLB cracked down on Eppler

[DesertBrew52]

Murphy needs to make statement and pull McGee as soon as this trouble started. We have relievers. Use them. This is unacceptable managing imo.

He’s going down anyway after this game. Might as well wear it unless the score somehow actually gets dangerous.

[wallus]

Winner. Good on Murph for not getting up another pitcher.

[edfunderburk]

[adambr2]

If you had told me we would give up 9 runs tonight and I saw our lineup I would have said “hopefully we can take 2 out of 3”.

Don't worry about it, he's headed for a DFA tomorrow.

Justin Yeager just hit AAA, but that's one I wouldn't mind seeing.  Unless anyone interesting was DFA'd in the last day or two.

It’s very clear Murphy is saving his pen for the weekend. McGee just needed to allow fewer than 12 runs in the ninth. Doubt we see McGee again this month.

2 of the Yankees new bullpen acquisitions got torched tonight……
