  1. Good pitch count work this inning from the Crew. Great AB from Jackson, just a better play on the other end. I love how this team just keeps coming at people. Makes them a lot of fun.
  2. Yeah, that's a tough choice. Given injury rates, I'd be real hesitant to do an extension. I could see an argument for either just keeping him like we seem to be doing with Willy, or trading him sooner than later.
  3. I know the Tigers have been pretty decent this year (good for them--I'm a Central division fan, whether the NL or the AL, and I think the Royals are definitely my 2nd favorite MLB team), but Canha as your #3 hitter is tough. I like the guy, but tough to really score when you're lineup looks like that.
  4. I give Wilson a lot of credit for managing this role really well overall. Mostly, I hope we're in a position to move him back into his best role very soon, especially since his last 5 starts have been worse than his first several. Worried about the trendline there, and he's very valuable as a guy you ask to get 6-10 outs instead of 15. It's strange that I prefer Myers as a starter at this point. I think Wilson is for sure the better pitcher. But I think Myers seems more suited to regularly keeping you in the game for 4-6 innings long term. Of course, it's not looking great against Skubal, so maybe nobody keeps the Crew in the game today.
  5. Not too upset if the Crew ends up losing today, but I wonder about Wilson as an SP. I get that we don't have a lot of options right now, but it seems clear it's a square peg situation. It's not even that he's been bad (he hasn't). It's just that you go out there with every Wilson start just sort of hoping he can push through five and have a great first two trips through the order. He'd be my first move to the pen if we can get some guys back healthy. Did Perkins not get the memo that bunting isn't allowed? What a dirty player...
  6. Series win! Big given tomorrow's tough pitching matchup. Does Megill remind anyone else of Corey Knebel? It's maybe more the fastball/curveball combo that does it for me.
  7. Myers does have a shot at the CG. 115 pitches over 9 is way different than 100 over 6.
  8. 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.
  9. Love Benetti as a broadcaster. And he's good at basketball too.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. That's bad baserunning from Dunn. First, they're not holding you on at third! Second, bad slide.
  17. Phillies pen has been worked hard, so you have to take advantage when they're down to Dominguez in this situation.
  18. So Dunn to PR so Frelick can PH. Makes sense. Dangit. That was headed to the backstop.
  19. It was that Tommy Pham play on Sunday. Just getting the Sox angry for this week. All part of the plan.
  20. Good thing it's in the hands of the umpires. We know what the Wrigley crew would do with that.
  21. 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.
  22. Trevor looks like the chaotic version tonight.
