I want to be happy enough to skip like these guys

What a fun team to follow in 2025

 

But how would Chris Carpenter be able to explain that to his kids?

[RobertCrawley]

Slider didn't slide. Good night and good luck.

[markedman5]

Mistake cost us 3 runs

[jason21nl]

Come the F on

[duewizard]

Aw shucks. That 1st "hit" really hurts now. On Miz IMO

[narwhalattack]

Miz reminds me of Ashby. Really tantalizing stuff and amazing in short bursts, but seems to get in trouble with longer starts. I'm still willing to give him more chances to be a starter because it's expected to see young and tall pitchers to struggle at first, but man it's hard to watch sometimes.

With really small words.  And not because they kids need him to.

[edfunderburk]

We have no margin for error the last two nights

Blowouts become close games with 3-run homers

Sometimes I hate baseball

Man there is some dude just yelling his lungs off. I don't know if he's heckling, or yelling to yell, or is just near a mic or what. I thought it was one of the dugouts going after the ump but I've heard it at too random of points to think it's coming from the dugout plus the ump isn't reacting. 

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Tony La Russa does not approve all the skipping.

During their hot streak they rarely if ever made a mistake.  They’re making so many lately

What was he yelling about?

Up 6-3 after giving up a 3-run homer is the definition of margin for error.  

[edfunderburk]

Move Miz to the bullpen & he can start next year 

He’s good for 50 pitches & three innings

He should have been out of the inning with no damage……good hitting teams with extra opportunities will get you. They are 2nd in the league in homers

[wallus]

The Dbacks have a decent lineup. They shouldn't have been this bad (especially with Suarez)

I haven't really been able to make it out just yet. 

[BruisedCrew]

We knew before this series started that the Brewers were going to need more runs than they were getting last week to outscore this potent AZ offense. 

Need to keep adding on.

I’m lost …

I’ll say it, the Miz hype is over. ERA of around  9 since coming off the IL. Fatigue, maybe a little bit of the league catching up to him. The short starts are going to have a cumulative impact on the pitching staff. Should just move him to the pen or shut him down for the year. Better yet they shouldn’t have made the trade of Cortes for Lockridge. Would be much better having Cortes going 5 and being in Miz like Ashby for multiple innings than have Lockridge coming off the bench once or twice a week

Probably mad Siegler's in the lineup.

[willie key]

Miz.    Dude.    It’s just hard to get excited when he has a couple of nice innings.    And then comes the three run inning

[kevinisaname]

I'm going to be slightly annoyed if we get relatively shut down by a long reliever again.

He's going to take some punishment from professional hitters when he makes mistakes. That's how he'll learn.

We can't have nice things.
