I've generally thought since inning limits became a thing, it was 35 give or take 5. I assume playoffs he's a multi inning starter-piggy back guy. Maybe they feel better that with the bye from Wildcard rd, it'll be a long enough break to be comfortable extending his innings limit.
With H2H matchups amongst the playoff teams being around 7-8 games, thats about 4 expected losses so really got to feel like 7 wins by Milwaukee clinches #1 seed. St Louis and Cincinnati are eliminated from division. Philly losing Turner likely eliminates them. San Diego has a huge say toward #2 seed with their schedule.
Piling on the Miz talk. He's already eclipsed his innings thrown last season and I'd guess his season was finished at this point last season. While they want to keep him at Starter, I believe his role is bullpen in playoffs. If he Starts its probably a bullpen game of 2-3 innings.
Woodruff has just 2 ERs today. 4 runs scored on account on bad ump calls. I think 1 or both of the other games, you can blame a run or 3 because bad ump strike zones. He and Miz are done wrong early in their starts.
Just another day gamecast shows poor early strike zone cost 3 runs vs a clean 1,2,3 inning. Miz has been victim of this twice and here's Q's turn. I imagine missed calls, the Brewers are at a disadvantage 3-1.
Miz came in to the game already exceeding his innings pitched last season and added to it last night. Isn't the typical progression 30 innings the following season? Would put him at 25? 26 innings left this season.
Just the Cubs being the home team gives them better odds to win. I'd never consider pregame odds in Baseball to support your argument. Like why are you pulling out the pregame odds to support a Cubs W projection? Guarantee you not 1 game at Dodgers the odds were for Milw.
We have former SP Shelby Miller throwing relief. You can probably go up and down nearly all team's RPs and find 1 former SP out performing his SP stats to his current RP stats.
There's time. Miz is a rookie. His career started setting all time records. I have no thoughts Miz will be starting in the playoffs, unless used as a RP game starter. He's going to be up against his innings cap. The best part of his current stretch, he doesnt finish top 2 Roy.
I mean robots Miz would have struck out the 1st walk he issued this helped the Cubs with a run and when he should have finished the inning having only given up 2 runs, he had 10 more pitches thrown. I think his frustration is the umps continue missing strikes in the first 2 innings he's pitched that lead to walks/runs & extra pitches.
He goes to bullpen he's hitting 103 again and locking down innings. Much different roles.
So Priester pitches tomorrow and comments have already written the game off as an L. (Cubs fans obviously)
What teams in MLB are playing without their #3 batter? Right now? Chourio has missed how many games during this stretch? He will be returning.
