Sprout can beeffective but jeez-Louise stay away from the center of the plate. 

He can’t. It’s either not a competitive pitch, or it’s right down the middle. Ergo, he’s not an MLB quality pitcher. 

[yourout]

This is shaping up to be a waste of sleep

[MilwaukeeBeers]

This is a 30 grade command night. No exaggeration. This is brutal to watch.

[yourout]

Wow. That might have been the worst strike call I've seen this year.

[BruisedCrew]

A typical performance in SF.

Going back to 2014 the Brewers are 14-23 in this park and have lost 8 of 11 series..

Crow's last two starts in AAA looked very good.  I'd rather try him than give Sproat more starts.

Call them fast, Sproat will be serving up plenty more meatballs between now and then 

I don’t get this sentiment. Sproat could go down as soon as tonight, with the day off Thursday and Harrison almost back. For a SP to make the playoff rotation, they’d need to outperform Drohan, who has a 3.5 and has been putting up 6 innings consistently. It needs to an Ace (Skubal, Ryan, etc) or nobody - why waste the capital on a guy that won’t crack the playoff rotation? Sproat is just biding his time at this point until there are 5 healthy above him within the next week.

Which prospects? This is far too general to be true or false. There is a Grand Canyon between Jesus Made and Tyler Black. 

You’re not going to get Skubal for chump change.

I absolutely dread this series every year. Just a house of horrors for the Brewers. Oh, and they get to face Webb on Wednesday.

[edfunderburk]

Watching Milwaukee tonight, you’d never guess that they are 66-39. We look like the Rockies. 

[ClosetBrewerFan]

How do we have only one hit thru 5 innings against Mahle?  One hit!!!?!?

 

[MilwaukeeBeers]

Nothing like making Mahle look like an ace. I have observed we have had issues with pitchers that throw a splitter so far this year.

No, but we have a pretty good assortment of excess prospects who need to be added to the 40 next year and only so many spots available.

I’m not sure Jett Williams really has a role here, for example.

Yeah we could trade for Skubal and still easily have one of the best farm systems in baseball.

I mean, I’m certainly not opposed to such an addition, depending as always on the price. 

[RobertCrawley]

Come on, Garrett. 

[adambr2]

Not a good day for Mitchell.

And he's been on the black quite a bit.. 

Not too many fat ones.

Much better command than Sprout

Neither am I, but it should have absolutely zero to do with Sproat.

Yeah, he’s throwing well tonight

Helps when he's getting a lot of wide strikes. 

[yourout]

This feels like a five-nothing shut out

[yourout]

It's almost comical how bad we are challenges behind the plate. 

Their cannot be a team any worse in MLB

[wibadgers23]

Considering we have to face Webb on Wednesday, we better win tomorrow or we're looking at a sweep.

[MilwaukeeBeers]

Maybe Sproat's command could benefit from looser pants. That can't be comfortable those suckers are tight.
