The sad thing is at some point one of the guys not named Jeffress will have a bad outing and everyone will blame overuse.
-
That's kind of how I see things too.

That's the point, they don't and the pursuit of one is foolhardy. You'll never be able to keep them long-term. And once they leave you can't just flip-flop back overnight to the model Tampa is pursuing. The math of not giving teams multiple looks at a pitcher is too enticing to ignore. Many of the best pitchers in the game become mediocre and downright bad their 2nd and 3rd times through. The ones whose numbers hold up are true unicorns. Too scarce to continue to model around. And too valuable to only impact 30-35 games. I think you can flip them but most teams don't (some do - White Sox and Sale, Tigers and Verlander, etc. etc.). Also if this trend continues they won't hold the value they do now. Lastly, you can flip to this model faster than finding a five man rotation. For the record, I don't disagree with bullpenning at all - but I don't think a team will shy away from drafting a potential Walker Buehler because the big league team is bullpenning. There will always be a spot for a guy who can mow people down for 7 innings. Even Tampa has Blake Snell.

That's the kind of crap that will prevent his teams from ever getting a natty. Margin for error is much smaller with a UW team. Need to maximize scoring opps whenever you can.

I received all three of them late last night. Sorry haven't had a chance to respond.

I think Counsell is doing this because it gives his team the best chance to win as constructed. I don't know if this means an organizational change in approach going forward though. If they had a Scherzer, Cole, Nola, etc. on the team you know darn well he'd be out there throwing 7, 8 innings every start.

Gotta think Jeffress is unavailable tonight. I'll assume Hader is too although he only threw 8 pitches yesterday. Can Knebel go back to back?
-
As recently as September the guy was en fuego. Had a 0.00 era for the month. Brewers need him to find it again. I don't think they can win this series if they decide to bench him when they are up four runs. I still haven't suggested actually benching him. I've said many times they're using him too much and that's a factor in his struggles. Give him 2 days rest and hope he's right tomorrow. Give someone else a little work. Fair enough. -
For as bad as GB has played this year they are 1/2 game behind 1st place Bears.
-
Does JJ come in a 1 run game? I don't know. I doubt it. 4 run game was a perfect situation.

If you can't bring Jeffress in a 4 run game then he shouldn't be on the roster. He needs to get his mojo going.
-
Hader threw 8 pitches. He is fine for tomorrow.
-
Regardless of what Counsell did there he was going to be second guessed.
-
Bring back Capers.
-
Wow, that was a terrific bunt.
-
Man it'd be great if Arcia carried this last 4 weeks or so into next year. And the next 4 weeks

I have eaten Chacin crow, regurgitated it, fed it to a baby who puked it up and then I ate it again. I can't give any more than that.

Why is Sammy Hagar in the Brewer dugout?
-
Whew. Moving on to game 2.

fiancee picked a great weekend for us to go visit her sister in Virginia
