Herrera has a .450 OBP against mke. Interesting to walk someone to get to him

Probably didn’t end up mattering but I hated that decision from Murphy. Patrick was battling his command all game. His first pitch strike rate was 50% through the first two times in the order. Intentionally walking the bases loaded immediately felt like something that would backfire.

I'll be looking forward to the day, if/when it comes, when Patrick moves back into the relief role he filled effectively late last season. Go 2.1 innings, throw 96-97 with the secondary stuff he has & he can be strong. I get that he's been needed as a starter, but in that role he's a lot more ordinary, and is a decent bet to not even get you through five.

Recovered somewhat tonite from some very subpar ABs early on. But Contreras couldn't find a glove for a couple days, and today it was the opposite.

Hamilton doesn't bunt because he 'can't hit'. He bunts because it's a weapon he possesses. He's pretty good at it, and he's had a handful this year where he didn't put it in a great spot, and/or the defense was semi-looking for it, and still beat it out. Among the 3 left-side-of-the-infield guys on the roster I'd say he's been the most effective up to this point offensively (yes, low bar). One can argue he looks to it too often. But I think most of the criticism is in hindsight after it doesn't work.

Chourios' success was obvious today. But I also thought Vaughn looked OK at the plate for his first time back.

I wouldn't say I hated it, but I don't blame anyone for feeling that way. Certainly risky. I felt slightly better about that matchup than Wetherholt, but like you said when you factor in Patrick constantly falling behind............

Chad was poor today.
