Good thing the Brewers have a rested bullpen backing up the starter today.
-
You can be confident without saying that anyone who doesn’t share that confidence is panicking. There are points in between.
-
I can only speak for myself but I am not assuming that the pitchers in the bullpen will be the same all year. There’s no question that there are plenty of bodies to throw out there but the question is how effective they are going to be. And I don’t think that looking at how things happening in April might affect what happens in the future is “panicking”. If we aren’t supposed to look to the future maybe this board should be shut down until July or August.

I don’t think anyone is complaining about how effective the pitching has been so far. They have been able to win a significant number of games with very little offense. The concern is that the lack of runs combined with consistently short starts from the patchwork rotation is resulting in unsustainably heavy use of the bullpen, which is going to lead to problems down the road. I really don’t blame Murphy for how the bullpen is being used because the team is getting involved in so many close, low scoring games. I also think the lack of offense is due to the lack of quality major league caliber hitters, not the sometimes head scratching batting orders he uses. When a team is only getting 5 or 6 hits (or less) in a game, it’s going to be hard to score runs no matter what order the hitters are sent up.
-
Miley going for a second image on his elbow because the first was inconclusive does not sound encouraging. I’m not going to be shocked if he has a long term or season ending problem.
-
I think you also have to consider the cumulative effect of their usage so far. Most of them have already appeared in 10 games or more, and they can’t be doing that all season. Warming up and appearing in two games and throwing a total of 16 pitches is going to take more effort than throwing 16 pitches in one game. This heavy usage in April could come back to haunt the team in the form of injuries or loss of effectiveness down the road.
-
It might be tougher coming right back in a day game after pitching a high leverage inning the night before. That’s not much time to recover.
-
Another win with minimal offense, but the gift wrapped runs were enough. Not much bullpen left for tomorrow.
-
What a bonehead play that was with Contreras up.
-
Hey, someone other than Contreras got a hit.
-
Many of them are dead before they get here.
-
Yelich on the field running for the first time today. Sounds like at least another week,or two. If he can’t swing a bat yet.
-
Wilson got his feel back in the fourth.
-
How about 3 not so clean?
-
Wilson is near the end. That long top of the inning might have taken its toll.
-
That’s the kind of HBP that breaks wrists.
-
Bauers Ks with no strikes thrown to him.
-
Pirates fans calling for robots. Might have had an inning ending DP there.
-
Apathetic?
-
So far the Brewers have an OBP of .333. Their SOBP (Stay on Base Percentage) is .000
-
He’s rewarding a player who has driven in 40% of the Brewers runs this week.

It’s not just Pittsburgh. Since their incredible hot streak of scoring 59 runs in 6 games (with at least 7 in each game), the Brewers have scored just 30 runs in the last 9 games, and 12 of those were in that one game. In the other 8 games they scored 4, 3, 3, 1, 2, 2, 2, 1. Fortunately, they won 3 of those 8 games. I think these last 9 games are a lot closer to what we can expect from the offense going forward than what they did in that 6 game hot streak.

I was hoping for rain but it doesn’t look promising.

But most of them take awhile to become productive major leaguers.
