What is with the Greg Jones situation? Why is he playing every day? He's not a mlb player. What is happening?

I'm hypothesizing here but I am assuming Murphy is looking at opposing pitcher splits and filling in bodies to correspond. I don't know what Soroka's splits are against R/L but I'm assuming it is wild enough that Murphy wanted 8 LH bats in the lineup. The names Jones, Hamilton, Frelick, etc mean less than the (L) or (S) next to their name.

Whether that is the correct move is debatable, I would also be playing Lockridge over Jones right now without thinking twice... but I'm assuming that is what is happening.

Who knows, Jones sure cant say he's not getting a fair chance.

Probably should just take Woody out.  He is clearly hurt.

Sign him up for the Brewerfan softball team!

Does Contreras always wear the glam belt or is this just today?

they probably would have had to wrestle him off the mound.  He's a proud guy obviously but at some point you have to intervene whether he wants you to or not.  Between innings if possible.

Mitchell rock'en lightening around the bases. 

[homer]

Yikes. Ruben Quevedo-esque.

[Underachiever]

Okay, just turned it on. What fresh disaster are you talking about with Woodruff?

Velocity is way down. He didn't touch 87 in the 1st.

Fastball in the first inning was 87 or less down from 92 or so in prior starts.

[Underachiever]

Oy. Thanks, I guess.

 

[homer]

He still managed to K two guys. Maybe he can Jamie Moyer his way to a quality start.

The man is all style.

[Bulldogboy]

When a pitcher walks a batter Tyler Black should not be swinging first pitch. 

[RobertCrawley]

Yes, sir. Rengifo!!

That’s a brave fashion statement 

[igor67]

Rengifo, I don't normally hit but when I do it's always a double

I’m looking forward to all the junk baller references today if Woody can go a few innings
