Oh, is that what that's from? I thought it was the untucking of the shirts.

Considering it came from the whole epicenter of the era of the “Cardinal Way,” I think it is of a piece of the same mindset you’re describing.

[RobertCrawley]

I'm sorry. Miz has big time major league stuff. He's just needs not to make mistakes.

[Bulldogboy]

10k and he's struggling. Crazy

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

The Brewers are still an MLB best 18 W - 6 L since the trade deadline, 2.5 games ahead of PHI.

That includes a 3 W - 1 L record in the four games started by Misio and his fill ins.

How much better do you think they could have realistically been? 19 W - 5 L instead?

He will be shut down before the playoffs he’s already surpassed his innings pitched in any season as a pro and there’s 5 weeks of regular season games left 

Not a chance.

I'll take 5/3 from Miz. Skip away, young man! Let's tack on some runs!

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Big to get out with no runs in the inning. 

Still going to need the bullpen for four innings. 

[jason21nl]

If it weren’t for a fielding mistake he probably pitches 5 scoreless.   He made a couple bad pitches otherwise solid effort 

[BCF]

He gave up 4 hits, 1 which should have been an error and the other a bloop double and 1 walk. 
 

he struck out 10 against a very good offensive lineup yet people are complaining again 

 

crazy 

[OldSchoolSnapper]

I'd much rather Miz come off the field sad after that outing and slam his glove in the dugout. Really show some guy in West Allis on his 4th beer that he's got a winner's mentality.

Unless he's injured, he will most certainly not be completely shut down before the end of the season

He’s already 20 innings over last year’s total. Unless they ride him hard that’s 20-30 innings left for the year. So what a bunch of four inning starts? Make the bullpen cover 5 innings once a week? Move him to the pen or shut him down. It’s what’s best for the team

[markedman5]

Well done Miz…..definite step in right direction tonight

Are we really going to make hating the skipping a thing?

I'm not.  I'm fine with it.  He's just a big dork.  He'll probably stop at some point but it doesn't bother me at all.

[edfunderburk]

Apparently we can only score of Arizona’s starters

[narwhalattack]

Limited damage in the face of adversity against a good hitting team. I'll take that from a young pitcher.

With today's game he's 9.2 innings over last year's total. Not 20. At least try to get your numbers close to right if you're going to have a fit.

Cool! Photo, please. 😁

The board is frisky this evening. I kinda dig the liveliness here, even if I’d like to buy everybody a Coke and a smile.

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Could use some offense against the Arizona long relievers…..

Time to see if Myers can be effective again in relief. The added split-change (?) has seemed to be a new weapon. Need a good couple innings tonight from him. 

[edfunderburk]

We must have starters that can go six or seven innings on occasion 

We are wearing the bullpen arms out during this 19 games in 18 days stretch 

No one seems to step up like Rea used to do

No soda for me … but thanks 😉

Be nice to get a couple two tree from Toby .

I suspect this is correct.  I was interested to see what they'd do with him in this stretch of 19 games in 18 days but they apparently concluded they couldn't artificially limit his innings/pitches to save his arm.

I do think they'll take him out of the rotation at some point if they can rather than turn him into an opener.  How he'll transition to bullpen work is above my paygrade.  But I just don't see them leaving him in the rotation for 5 or 6 more starts and then possibly in the playoffs.  We'll see I guess.

How wonderful it would be for Myers (one of my favorites) to finish this game & save the bullpen arms for the next few games
