He's given up one run against the Champs in 4 innings so far. The overreactions are a little wild. It is clear that he has some development left but this is so much better than throwing out some washed up vet.

Coleman Crow is washed?

[adambr2]

Murph is bound and determined to get Sproat over the hump today.

It's either going to work or it’s going to cost us the game.

[yourout]

Unless they have a better look I don't like that challenge.

[adambr2]

Unless they’re seeing something in New York that we aren’t, this is a pointless challenge.

Bad challenge.

He isn't a vet and I never mentioned him so....

[yourout]

Here comes the crooked number

[HarryDoyle]

Sproat is just too erratic at this point to be trusted to be a part of the rotation.

[adambr2]

This was not a good idea to send Sproat out there for the 5th. It hasn’t worked before, he’s been shaky all day and this isn’t the lineup to play with fire.

I think the Brewers success does allow Sproat to have a longer leash but I think we are fast approaching a kind of breaking point. This is his 10th game and he's only gone 5 innings in 3 of those 10 games. He's only gone more than 12 outs in 5 of his 10 games.

[adambr2]

Brewer pitchers have put 23 Dodgers on for free in this series. 23. That’s insane and usually a losing recipe.

[edfunderburk]

Gasser followed by Sproat against two-time defending WS champs is difficult to watch

Not our best look

extra innings to a weary bullpen

Exactly. Mention him when you go through your defense of Sproat. We have better options.

At some point you can’t just force it all year on a first place team. If he’s a swingman, long man than he’s a swingman/long man.

The defense of 4 hits and 4 walks in 4 innings is certainly a choice. 

[Brian]

Well that's all she wrote! 

[adambr2]

Close the book on Sproat — 4 innings, 3 earned.

The luck ran out.

[HarryDoyle]

Well, it's a beautiful day out. Time to enjoy it.

You can’t allow this many baserunners against this team and not get burned eventually.

[Bulldogboy]

Miz and Harrison and pray for rain.

Update: it cost us the game.

Yeah, I wish Murphy would've gone with Miz today instead, but I guess he figured to save him for a divisional rival.

[edfunderburk]

When I saw Gasser & Sproat listed as starting pitchers for this Dodgers series, this is exactly the result I anticipated.

Crow has had 10 nice ML innings but 35 AAA mediocre ones this year. He will get more opportunities to pitch but there is a reason he is in AAA.

I’m saving my prayers for Woodruff to rebound & remain healthy once he returns
