Hard to beat Benetti and Stone as a duo. The White Sox know how to hire announcers, which is sort of too bad because they don't know how to do much else. -
Love Benetti as a broadcaster. And he's good at basketball too.
-
Wow, that's surprising. Although I suppose once in ten years is still exceedingly rare. Four triples would be amazing. Halfway there! And with the score 10-0, he might as well try for three on anything that's an easy double.
-
Somewhat hilariously, if this game continues like this, the Brewers will be underperforming their run differential despite the fact that most folks seem to agree they're overachieving based on roster talent.
-
This ballpark is, like, built for this version of the Brewers offense. That big outfield just super incentivizes contact, and it's great to see the lineup taking advantage.
-
Bingo. 2 runs in 28 innings was never going to avoid a sweep in this series. We all want to step on the gas all the time, myself included, but if you're going to get swept, it may as well be against one of the best teams in baseball while you hold a seven game division lead. We've got some more tough pitching matchups in the Tigers series. But our next like 20 games are pretty manageable. It's not an easy stretch, but there are opportunities to go something like 12-8, which would be just great heading close to the ASB. This series sucked, Put it behind us and take 2 of 3 this weekend.
-
The first series of the year that really rewarded the pessimists. Let's just get out of Philly, learn, and move on. In baseball, that is the best you can do sometimes.
-
Just poor execution from this team tonight. You're going to lose games against good teams, and a lot of times it's going to be games like this. Hope they learn from it. 1 run isn't going to win in these kinds of situations.
-
That's bad baserunning from Dunn. First, they're not holding you on at third! Second, bad slide.
-
Phillies pen has been worked hard, so you have to take advantage when they're down to Dominguez in this situation.
-
So Dunn to PR so Frelick can PH. Makes sense. Dangit. That was headed to the backstop.
-
It was that Tommy Pham play on Sunday. Just getting the Sox angry for this week. All part of the plan.
-
Good thing it's in the hands of the umpires. We know what the Wrigley crew would do with that.
-
For some reason, Megill has always terrified me. I just never have been able to believe he's closer-level good. But each successive outing makes it more and more difficult to hold that opinion.
-
Have to think Frelick is PRing for Sanchez.
-
Trevor looks like the chaotic version tonight.
-
Someone said this was a "measuring stick" series, and I think that's right. And we've played good baseball. But have to be able to do more of the little things. Baserunning game 1, situational hitting game 2.
-
Not that it impacted anything, but I'm really not sure why Yelich isn't running there first pitch. I know lefty on the mound and all, but have to think Hoskins is thinking "don't hit it on the ground" on some level.

Gasser Dealing With Left Elbow Issue
Cool Hand Lucroy replied to wiguy94's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Working on a hypothesis that Colin Rea, Kyle Hendricks types are going to be a market inefficiency for a while here at the start of the pitch clock era. Maybe that is part of why the Crew wants Hall as a starter despite his lower velo. Woody and Burnes excepted, the Crew have had a lot of success with your Zach Davies, Chacin types. Even Peralta doesn't wow the gun. When you have to save money somewhere, that's not a bad strategy. Find starting pitchers who can consistently beat their peripherals. Easier said than done, but I think the whole league may be trying that approach sooner than later if this rate of injury continues. Edit: not sure how I feel about relievers like Uribe. Easier to sustain that velo and movement for 60 IP a year (at the high end) than 130. MLB probably perfectly happy to keep rolling the dice on relative health from those guys, at least up through arb. -
Gasser Dealing With Left Elbow Issue
Cool Hand Lucroy replied to wiguy94's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Didn't Gasser have some bone spurs or something he was pitching through? Wonder if this is related to that and not something new? That would probably be best case, just something they have to manage with extra rest, skipping starts, etc. -
Not quite good enough tonight. Missed chances, Wheeler made pitches when he needed to, and Wilson struggled in his first inning. Pitching matchups won't get any easier. I don't believe we've been swept yet this year, which is pretty impressive. Hoping we can at least keep that streak alive. Let's win tomorrow and have a chance at the series.
-
Bauers has been...okay? But I'd rather have Black. Has Monasterio even been in a game in a week? I don't really care about the last spot on the roster, but it seems like maybe there's a better use for that spot if the guy in it is not going to see the field ever.
-
I tend to agree. But I also am willing to trust the organization at this point. Unless there's a rift between what Murphy wants and what the FO wants, I feel like the Brewers have earned the benefit of the doubt.
-
Kind of surprised to see them rolling with Wheeler against Ortiz.
-
I know people get down on Rock, and I'm not the world's biggest fan, but man are there some bad color guys around the league. John Kruk is awful. Between him and the White Sox lead commentator, I have no idea how these positions are distributed. We're spoiled. Ueck is a legend, BA is great, Levering and Grindl are good to very good on the radio side, and Mauer and the rest of the TV crew are generally fine. I think Dillard and Rottino are generally subpar, but compared to the other guys I hear daily, they're like borderline Steve Stone (who's one of my favorite broadcasters of all time).
