Is Lockridge... a player?

Lockridge is basically Garrett Mitchell plus two years, minus the injury problems.  Lockridge might not be quite as good a CF and a touch less power, but it is pretty close.

Lockridge's MiLB numbers: 271/351/418

Mitchell's MiLB numbers: 276/381/426

Do we see Uribe go the 8th as well?

Was just thinking that too...he's so well-rested, short, efficient inning. Maybe he gets at least a hitter.

Nice job, Abner! I hope Shelby isn't our 8th inning guy.. I'm guessing it's Jared?

Or we could score a bunch of runs and make this all moot.

Koenig or Miller for the 8th?

Yeah, not sure if Murphy forgot what inning it is or just has some sort of matchup data/hunch. Should I laud his flexibility? Or question his judgment? I'll wait for the results and use the benefit of hindsight.

And the answer is?

Probably not ….Murphy hasn’t done it that way very often……but who knows

I really hope it's not Miller after his last game...

Not a huge fan of the Apple broadcasts but I do appreciate the graphic they just put up that might remind people that Robin Yount won MVPs 7 years apart by destroying baseballs while playing not one but 2 different premium defensive positions.

Guy's in the HOF and he's still underappreciated outside of Milwaukee.

[Brian]

Everyone gets a hit tonight.

[markedman5]

Murphy didn’t want Koenig to face Andujar

[liveforoctober]

Keeping the righty in when Barry Bonds is on deck... is a choice! Let's see if it pays off...

[kevinisaname]

OK, Caleb, pick Vaughn up, please!

[Smell the Glove]

Caleb is due

[kevinisaname]

Darnit. That was a big run to leave out there.

[markedman5]

That guy has got a big arm

[kevinisaname]

It's Koenig time. Need a shutdown inning, Jared!

That looked like a seriously uncomfortable AB. Several of them.

[Brian]

6 pitchers tonight because Miz stunk it up. 

[torts]

This team I tell ya what

[kevinisaname]

Fantastic job by Jared! Now it's going to come down to Megill vs. the top of the order. Let's score some insurance runs!

[Brian]

Insurance runs please.

BMIR Please!

My goodness the pen……just attacking the zone.

[BCF]

None of the pen arms were really overworked tonight except Hall. And we had a day off yesterday as well
