    Soriano has been scratched. Brent Suter now listed as opener.

    Watched a lot of it. It was cool and drizzly, just like it has been here, but didn’t seem to be a big wind.

    The Cubs are hosting the Yankees this weekend and they seem to be getting another break. Just like they missed Skubal when they faced the Tigers (and still lost two out of three) they will now miss Schlitter this weekend while the Yankees are without Judge and Bellinger Rooting for the Yankees is almost as distasteful as rooting for the Cardinals, but I’ll be doing it anyway.

    Maybe the biggest source of complaints on this board is that some of these regulars are given TOO MANY days off. They want to see the manager determine the best lineup and play that lineup almost every day. I don’t think more than an occasional day off (including days for the team) is going to help the players reset. They just came off of the 4 day All Star break and most of the slumping players have kept on slumping.

    My concern with the Brewers offense is not that it’s been inconsistent, but that for large portions of the season it has been very mediocre. For the full season to date the Brewers are 5th in the NL at 5.06 RPG after leading the league at some points during the season. But they are not too far behind the Cubs (5.19), Pirates (5.17), and Dodgers (5.15). The Nationals are on top at 5.47. But, focusing on games after June 10 (about a quarter of the season) the Brewers offense has been significantly less impressive. During this most recent stretch of games, the Cubs have the best record at 28-13 followed by the Dodgers at 25-15 and the Brewers at 26-16 (2.5 games back). in those 42 games the Brewers have scored 4.62 RPG, 9th best in the NL and WAY behind the Cubs sizzling 6.24. As has been the case for most of the season, the Brewers have been maintaining their winning pace mainly through run prevention. Since June 10 the Brewers runs allowed per game of 3,93 is the second lowest in the NL. They are behind only (are you sitting down for this?) the Cubs at 3.78 RAPG.. Anyone who has watched the Brewers closely for the last six weeks can see that the offense hasn’t been clicking, with several key players going through varying degrees of slumps.

    Sabathia was pitching complete games on 3 days rest. On comparison to pitchers going 5 innings on 5 days rest. We’ll never know what would have happened in 2008 if Sheets hadn’t gotten hurt and if the offense hadn’t completely disappeared in September.
  7. BruisedCrew
    I’m not exactly going to “defend” Chourio because his hitting has been very frustrating over the last several weeks. It’s been a significant contributor to the offense’s mediocre production over the last 6 weeks. But I would point out that the performance of players who are breakout stars in their early 20’s does not necessarily follow a steady upward progression. Julio Rodriguez and Jackson Merrill are two who come right to mind.
  8. BruisedCrew
    Another failed trip to SF. I guess we should be grateful that it wasn’t a 4 game series.
  9. BruisedCrew
    No huge black holes and no superstars. So fussing too much over daily lineups is pointless because the gaps aren’t that great. Subbing out one guy from the “best” lineup (whatever that is) isn’t likely to be decisive Try to get through the 17 day stretch coming up starting Friday without completely wearing anyone out..
  10. BruisedCrew
    Tigers might have taken a big step toward being sellers today. They led 7-0 after 6 with Skubal pitching. He came out in the 7th after giving up a run and the Orioles went on to add 4 more. Then they tied it in the 9th and won it in 12. That capped a 2-4 homestand against the Royals and Orioles..
  11. BruisedCrew
    Apparently the thinking was that the Brewers aren’t going to score against Webb anyway so don’t waste a decent pitcher in a losing cause
  12. BruisedCrew
    Because the first few innings took so long I cashed in on the game at about 10:30 with the Brewers leading 5-0. Glad to see I didn’t miss anything dramatic. If getting shut out on Monday proved that Murphy’s lineup was flawed, scoring 8 runs yesterday must prove that yesterday’s lineup was brilliant. Or maybe daily angst over lineup and batting order is greatly overblown. I did note that Yelich leading off the fourth inning was key even though he eventually struck out because he made the pitcher work. I stand by my opinion that if Yelich is going to play he should bat leadoff. I definitely wouldn’t have him batting cleanup.
  13. BruisedCrew
    Do the Dodgers need another reliever?
  14. BruisedCrew
    That is still a position where you’re more likely to come up with runners on base. Ive said all along that IMHO, if Yelich is going to be in the lineup at all, leading off is the best spot for him. He has a better chance of getting on base than driving in runs
  15. BruisedCrew
    The Cubs offense has been on fire all month.
  16. BruisedCrew
    Please not Sanchez. When they tried that he almost sent Harrison to the IL by firing a ball behind him and off his knee, resulting in a bruised and twisted knee.
  17. BruisedCrew
    Yes, he hit a foul ball off his toe last night. Probably after I.got disgusted and went to bed.
  18. BruisedCrew
    This should take care of concerns about Vaughn not getting enough playing time for awhile.
  19. BruisedCrew
    Maybe not always, but much more often than not the Brewers struggle in SF. As I posted last night, starting in 2014 (when a lopsided series sweep by the Giants propelled the Brewers to a September collapse) the Brewers have now gone 14-24 there and have lost 8 of 11 series. That includes 3 of the last 4 series lost and Hader’s infamous 6 run inning in 2022. The Brewers really need to salvage at least one in this series, and tonight is probably the best chance with Brewer killer Webb going tomorrow.
  20. BruisedCrew
    A typical performance in SF. Going back to 2014 the Brewers are 14-23 in this park and have lost 8 of 11 series..
  21. BruisedCrew
    Rather than carping about the lineup every day, maybe it would be better to be glad that the Brewers have enough depth right now that they can afford to give players some days off without having a major drop off. Those days off could help to keep the team relatively fresh through the dog days of August.
  22. BruisedCrew
    Why think about this today? Have they said anything about Frelick as to whether he needs surgery or when he might return? The only thing I saw was a targeted return in mid August That’s 3 weeks away and presumably is a best case scenario A lot can happen in 3 weeks, including an injury to one of the other OF candidates.
  23. BruisedCrew
    The darkest memory of playing in SF was in early September 2014 when the Brewers got swept in lopsided fashion to wipe out the last of a division lead that they had held for several months. That kicked off a complete collapse that saw them quickly fall out of contention.
  24. BruisedCrew
    I wasn’t paying any attention to empty seats but the announced attendance was a little over 39,000 which isn’t bad for a game against a nondescript opponent. A couple of things to remember about seeing empty seats on TV. First today was quite hot and humid, so a lot of people with seats in the sun might have moved to another location. For most games there are literally thousands of people who don’t sit in their seats. They get tickets in the upper corners and spend the game roaming around the stadium or parking themselves at one of the bars or lounges. Take a walk around the stadium in the middle of the game sometime and see how many people are in the shops or getting concessions or whatever. As for Miz pitching I don’t think that many people make late decisions to,attend a game based on who’s pitching. Miz pitching today wasn’t even known until about Friday.
  25. BruisedCrew
    I think San Francisco is one of my least favorite places for the Brewers to play. I don’t like the late starts anywhere, and that park seems to give the Brewers problems.
