  1. An interesting month with more series than May against teams with losing records. Will be interesting to see the Brewers pitching plan with fewer off days and looking ahead to 13 games in the first 12 days of July,. I’ll go 14-13. Need the offense to improve on its May performance to do better than that.
  2. That’s only going to get worse with no off days. I’m not sure if the Brewers are planning on going to a straight five man rotation or if they’ll try to slip a bullpen day in to give the starters some extra rest.
  3. Is levering really so dense that he doesn’t understand why that pitcher’s name is in a different style than the other players? His last name is VanWey with a capital letter, but no space, in the middle. So, the other letters in his name are in a lowercase to highlight the capital W in the middle. I suspect that that is what the player requested.
  4. At least I won’t be able to watch tomorrow’s game because of a family event. I’ll be spared hearing Levering give the pitch speed on virtually every pitch Misiorowski throws. If I really want to know the pitch speed, they put it on the score box. But I don’t need to reminded after so many pitches that I wonder how many 100+ MPH pitches a human arm can throw in a lifetime, much less a season.
  5. On cue: “Another hard hit ball by Joey Ortiz but an Astro right there to put it away”.
  6. One of my many pet peeves about Levering is how he always makes it sound like the Brewers are hitting bullets all over the park but have been unlucky.
  7. If Sproat is going to be the third starter it’s hard to see how the Brewers are going to get through stretches of playing every day for two weeks.
  8. Sproat is hard to watch. After sitting through his outing on Sunday as he labored to get the ball over the plate, this is looking like more of the same.
  9. Well, I missed the end of the game. Just as the Astros were batting in the ninth inning, I heard a big crash outside and there was an SUV upside down right in front of our driveway. This is on a residential street. Apparently the driver smashed into the side of our next-door, neighbors car that was parked in front of their house and flipped over. There were about 10 firetrucks, police cars, and ambulances that showed up, several of them just trying to get the driver out of the car. Apparently she was “OK“.
  10. Seven hits in two games. Lucky to win one.
  11. Uribe should’ve just served his suspension tonight.
  12. I’d probably be calling for some minor leaguers to come up to help out this offense if it weren’t for the fact that 90% of them end up showing why they’re in the minor leagues.
  13. It’s going to be interesting to see how the Brewers pitching holds up now that they’ll be playing 13 straight days without an off day. Next week will be the first time this season. They haven’t had an off day. It’s kind of ridiculous that the Brewers have played three or four fewer games than almost every other team with only one rain out. The offense has been pretty mediocre for the month, and they might have to pick it up as the team has to dip deeper into the pitching pool.
  14. It seems like any righty who can throw a sweeper can make Brewers hitters look bad.
  15. The Astros have been ravaged with injuries to their SP,. That’s the main reason for their sub .500 record. But they have been scoring a lot of runs; Alvarez has been especially hot this week.
  16. I winced before the last pitch when Dillard mentioned climbing the ladder or burying. a slider. I was already concerned about a game tying wild pitch before I heard “burying a slider”. Fortunately he went with the high heat. For amusement later I might pull up the replay of the Cardinals telecast on MLB TV and watch the 8th inning.
  17. I’m not convinced that Torres misplayed that ball. It was hit hard and with a different angle the ball might have been past him. On a bright sunny day it might also have been hard to pick it up right away. But the botched defense on the bunt and Winn’s boot were gifts. Just 2 runs in the series for the Redbirds. After today May might want to go back to coaching basketball.
  18. That definitely did feel like stealing a win.
  19. This is looking like the easiest no hitter in baseball history. No hard hit balls and no exceptional defensive plays.
  20. So far all they’ve been doing is walking off to the dugout after striking out.
  21. A lot will depend on how the game goes. Because of the off day Thursday and how little work some of the relievers have gotten, almost everyone is a candidate.
  22. Looks like a bullpen game. Probably Patrick, Hall, and Drohan will see action.
  23. Not a coincidence that the Brewers good and bad streaks closely tracked when Molitor was in the lineup. He played in 118 games and scored 114 runs. The Brewers were 77-41 in those 118 games and were 14-30 in the ones he missed, mostly in May and June.
  24. The Dodgers series served as a reminder that the Brewers pitching situation is still unsettled, despite the outstanding performances in May. After Thursday’s off day, the Brewers will be headed to their first week of the season without an off day. It will be interesting to see how they attempt to cover that.
  25. To get a save, the pitcher must either (1) enter the game with a lead of 3 runs or less AND pitch at least one full inning. (2) enter the game with the tying run on base, at bat, or in the on deck circle, regardless of the size of the lead, or (3) pitch the final 3 innings of the game regardless of the size of the lead. So, a pitcher who starts the eighth inning with lead of 4 runs or more cannot get a save. A pitcher who enters the game with the bases loaded and a 5 run lead could still get a save because the potential tying run is in the on deck circle.
