I must not be able to watch him pitch much but this is what I see each time I watch him pitch. Falling behind each batter and then his strikes are just bad pitches in general.
Seems like it would have made more sense to start Houser, seeing as he's more used to being a starter in the recent history, and then bring in Lauer if Houser's pitch count got too high. 20/20.
I won't be disappointed if the Brewers just leave Hiura at home when they go on the road next. I don't care if they play with one less player. Just send him home, even.
