Giants (Houser) vs Brewers (Crow): 6/4/26, 1:10pm

Remember Adrian Houser? He will make $ 18 million over the next two seasons. On top of that, he has been meaningfully below replacement level in four of the last seven seasons, including this one. Today is Houser's first appearance against Milwaukee.

Fittingly, Coleman Crow is who the Brewers received from the Mets in exchange for Tyrone Taylor and Adrian Houser. Crow will earn less than $2 million over the next two seasons. Plus, Crow will likely be better than Houser this year and next at 10% of the cost.

Crow is going to be so good in the second half of 2026 that Cameron Crowe is going to make a movie about him!

We have not been able to not say Coleman Crow’s arm is strong, until this year.
I’ll see myself out.

I hope somebody in the media asks Murphy what their plan is with Crow, he is already at last year's innings and hardly pitched at all in 2023 or 2024.

I reckon it is to keep pitching as long as Woodruff/Henderson are out.  Keep his innings/pitch count as low as possible in the mean time.  DL stint when Woodruff/Henderson are ready, and after that see where the Brewers are at.

Yeah, with 50 IP last year and a career high of 128 IP back in 2022 my best guess is the Brewers won't want Crow going much over 100 IP this year.

Maybe planning to continue with the shorter starts (he's averaged about 80 pitches in his ten appearances this year) until he reaches a certain point then transition him to shorter relief outings.
