Cubs (Peterson) vs Brewers (Misiorowski): 09/08/26, 6:40 PM

[trwi7]

Turang hit a lefty?  Turang hit a lefty!

[82brewcrew82]

That didn't take long.

[edfunderburk]

Murphy making us all look foolish for second guessing Turang in the 2 hole against a lefty

I need to see someone other than Henderson pitch well for Milwaukee. The last several days has not been promising as we approach the playoffs. 

It is difficult to envision the Brewers going very far in the postseason if they are not getting good starting pitching. The offense is not going to get to face the Chicago Cubs bullpen every series. 

[yfinn6]

Knew that was coming with Vaughn. 

[BCF]

This ump needs to lock in

Like all Brewers fans - I want to win a World Series championship 

A close second to that desire - I want the Brewers to play longer than these Cubs

Not only is Miz not throwing strikes, he's not even throwing pitches that are close to even tempt hitters to swing.

[adambr2]

Not even kind of close.

He’s thrown 20 strikes out of 31 pitches 

[yfinn6]

This isn't good. Miz looks like 2025 Miz. 

[trwi7]

My God Contreras.  So bad at challenges.

[Bulldogboy]

Challenging there is dumb.

[adambr2]

Terrible challenge.

[HarryDoyle]

Has any reporter ever asked Murphy why they suck at challenges?

[edfunderburk]

Apparently the umpire isn’t the only one who can’t tell where the ball is coming across home plate 

[adambr2]

Good work getting through it.

I know it's probably against the rules but they need to hide some kind of sensor in their shoes or something that buzzes and if it buzzes that means challenge but just letting these guys go rogue can't keep happening.

A walk, strikeout, strikeout, pop up is a solid inning. Just get through 5.

[DesertBrew52]

Misiorowski is what my dad always called a “hurler”. Not a “pitcher” - because the Miz approach does not utilize enough speed changes, different spins, etc. If you see a hurler enough, you stick the bat out or swing early and you get hits. 
I’m surprised Hook hasn’t given Miz more craft…

 

 

[adambr2]

A double play every inning is a pretty good way to not get to the Cubs bullpen.

[Bulldogboy]

Brewers got to move the runner a little more often imo. Just dying by the dp

[baseball101]

Fast in the field but looks slow on the bases. My eye test could be wrong.

That's example A of Lara being fast but not as fast as billed.  Pratt, Ortiz, Mitchell and Chourio beat that grounder out.

I don’t know if I am wrong about that. What site would have that information?
