16 runs on 25 hits in the two games since Murphy hurt some feelings.

May be favorable coincidence. Maybe good managing.

Say this for the Brewers they sure do tend to respond to adversity.

It's easy to laugh about the unquantifiable nature of "grit," but it's simple enough to see it when you watch it every day.

And just like that back to 7 games.

Very nice game today. Brewers responded very well to Murphy's message the other night. Two of their best/most complete games of the month the next two days.

[BruisedCrew]

Nothing better than early runs and then adding on.

Back to back great games offensively.    That’s all I care about now.   The pitching will be there

Among all the positives, there were two things I especially loved tonite. First, the final inning from Miziorowski. It reminded me of his Ks vs Ohtani & Freeman w/ the bases loaded in LA. Different hitters, different situations, even the pitch selection was different. What was the same was that in both instances he looked an awful lot like an ace--a longtime, veteran ace. Getting two tough hitters in LA, and tonite dealing with the footing, with falling behind hitters, yet he gives them one more inning & does it efficiently. So impressive.

The other thing was the Pratt sac fly. After the Mets scored two runs, that was a real 'restore order' AB for the team. After the Frelick K & falling behind in the count himself, huge moment & he came through.

D L is on some kind of a roll. And a great job by Senzatela having to get four outs.

I can’t tell you how much a sacrifice fly excites me.

Murphy pushes managerial buttons, and sometimes gets criticized. Over six months, that occurs with any manager. But the emotional buttons, that's more subtle & it seems to be a real strength of his. Even something like the feel for giving Chourio yesterday off.

His style & this roster is such a good fit.

Willie, you are a predominant poster. You also are probably the most emotional poster.

Chourio hitting like a superstar for these couple of months would be a game changer for the brewers.     And would actually change my outlook some

Also Chourio hitting a couple of two run homers did nothing to change peoples opinion of him being a rally killer though.   He needs to hit a double or single there to keep the runners moving.    What does clearing the bases do.    😀

Was at the Sounds game tonight so didn't really watch the game.  What is explanation for Miz's velocity being so down?

I think the mound was bothering him. Hopefully.

He was noticeably slipping after planting. The grounds crew was out there at least once. They did what they could but after the first couple innings you could see he was never comfortable & I believe it got into his head a little. Fell behind hitters too, for the first time in a long while.

Check the stats. He is

Hard to think of anything "noisier" than a hitter's numbers with runners in scoring position. Plus Chourio missed 1 month of the season so it's a smaller sample size than normal. 

Last year? .804 OPS with RISP. The year before that? .845 OPS. 

If a "rally killer" is someone with a 125 wRC+ and 19 HRs, both of which are second on the team after Bauers, then I'll take it and run with it.

In your defense, though, this wasn't even your most egregious take on the subject. It was a few weeks ago when you suggested that 22 year old Chourio is nothing more than Tyrone Taylor 2.0 and a disappointment. 

It's okay. We all have em from time to time.

I think he was slightly shortening his stride (“pulling his punches”) because of concerns about slipping.

We’ve seen this before in other games for Miz. When rules and dimensions for mounds were conceived, it wasn’t designed for someone with  the size and launch of someone like Miz. And opponents aren’t going to be incentivized to make it easier for him. He even goes to opposing mounds before games to check it out.

I think it has to be one of those things that MLB needs to get directly involved with, putting one of their biggest young stars at injury risk. Think of the treatment star QBs get against injury or phantom calls for basketball stars. But this one has merit to me.

Please don’t call out the crazy takes from the IGTs. It’s looked down upon.

Hard to believe Chourio (3/11/04) is a full year and a half younger than Wetherholt (9/10/02), who is the odds-on favorite for ROY in the NL. And this is Chourio's third season!

I think the RISP numbers this year could be that he's pressing more in those situations.  When he's chasing pitches outside the zone, the only chance he has is if the pitcher makes a mistake.  When he's patient and laying off the junk, he is a real force.  I think that will improve as he matures.

I agree to an extent however I think he does a lot of damage on first pitches. He definitely needs to learn more plate discipline

I mean my take was referencing this year and nothing here mentioned that. I stand by what is obvious he's been brutal this season with men on base. In fact he has struggled to even advance the runner with tons of ks and pop ups. Not the end of the world but it's a fact. As they say you can look it up. More games like tonight would be a boost.

He certainly does. I've always felt that a hitter, to effectively ambush early, needs to 'earn' good pitches to hit early in a count. And the way you do that is by showing that you're willing to be disciplined & lay off stuff not in the zone. That'll increase the chances you get an early cookie. It's sort of a chicken-egg thing. 

You're right, he definitely does a lot of damage on 1st pitches. He also needlessly puts himself behind in the count at times. I guess the bottom line is he's still 22 & has much room for growth.
