    Has Murphy said that he wants to go to a five man rotation soon?
  2. BruisedCrew
    To add to my previous comment, the Brewers are 7-5 in Sproat’s starts, though his record is just 1-4. In the 7 games that the Brewers have won with Sproat starting, they have scored 9 runs 4 times and 6 runs twice. They did win one game 2-1 against Toronto when Sproat gave up just 1 run in 6.1 innings but he didn’t get the win. So, my focus tonight will be on the offense to see if they can score at least 5 runs. If they can’t, they will probably lose. While looking at these game results I came across one thing in the Brewers record that I think is remarkable They have scored exactly 2 runs 16 times, but are 7-9 in those games I don’t have access to league data, but that has to be a couple of games better than the overall league winning percentage when scoring 2 runs. Somewhat oddly, the Brewers have scored exactly 3 runs 8 times, and are just 1-7 in those games

    During a long stretch of games without off days, they can’t afford the luxury of too many 3 inning starts. And with all of the injuries the pipeline for the Nashville shuttle is pretty dry. And I don’t think they want to go to a 5 man, 5 day rotation just yet. I don’t see that they have much choice but to send Sproat out there and hope he can go at least 5 innings while keeping the team in the game. It would help if the offense could produce something closer to its 5 run per game average. In the last 7 games they have scored just 2 in 4 games and just 3 in one other. But in Sproat’s start they mangaed 9 runs and were able to win despite Sproat allowing 4 runs in less than 3 innings. So, my approach when Sproat starts is to hope for the best and hope that the offense can outscore the opponent. They aren’t likely to win if they get shutout for 9 innings and hope that a free runner and a mistake from the opponent can help them eke out a run or two.

    Somehow appropriate that the two winning runs were scored without a hit.
  5. BruisedCrew
    Now the Brewers get to send the bottom of their order up with the free runner on second.
  6. BruisedCrew
    I hav.e a hard time getting on Ortiz when nobody is hitting this bum, and a lot of others have contributed to the dreary offensive showings of the last week.
  7. BruisedCrew
    I’m getting pretty frustrated with the Brewers offense the,last week. Unless they break out this will be 5 of the last 7 games with 3 runs or less, and this one can’t be explained away by facing a good pitcher.
  8. BruisedCrew
    The Brewers also need the offense to step up. The Reds used their top two starters on Saturday and Sunday as they beat the Yankees, So the offense needs to take some of the pressure off the starters by putting some early runs on the board. In that park no lead is completely safe.
  9. BruisedCrew
    On the subject of the 6 man rotation, are any of the pitchers on the IL expected back before the All Star break? The last I saw Henderson was throwing bullpen sessions but hadn’t gone on a rehab assignment, and Koenig was on a rehab but his velocity was down significantly.

    Yesterday was fun. The first time I checked the score the Brewers were ahead 8-1 in the third inning so I just decided to assume they were going to win and didn’t check again until the game was almost over. WhenI looked at the box score I was a little surprised to see that Patrick had pitched 3 innings because I thought he would be the primary backup for Woodruff tonight. I guess that spot goes to Anderson now.
  11. BruisedCrew
    Family around for Father’s Day activities today so I will not be watching the game Maybe checking the score once in a while and hoping for a surprise in the form of Gasser keeping them in the game and/or the offense breaking the three run barrier.
  12. BruisedCrew
    I would take anything Levering says with a grain of salt. He and Rotino think the Brewers only lose because of bad luck or bad calls.
  13. BruisedCrew
    No, it’s because of the World Cup game. There have been other series with days off in the middle because of World Cup games. The current Mets-Phillies series is Thursday, Saturday, Sunday because of a game in Philly yesterday. The Brewers do not have a Saturday off this season.
  14. BruisedCrew
    This is the worst case scenario. Lose with the two best starters pitching strong games and now face 4 games (I assume they won’t pitch Misiorowski with 4 days rest on Wednesday) with back end starters and an unreliable bullpen. Tomorrow the only hope is one of those “that’s baseball” specials, and then they’ll have to snap out of the scoring slump and outslug the Reds in the GAB bandbox.

    O.5

    Like I said in my next post a significant problem with the offense has been that too many hitters (including some in the heart of the order) are struggling. . On the homestand the Brewers scored an unusually high percentage of their runs on home runs, and that isn’t usually their strength. A poor percentage with RISP is the numerical evidence of not being able to string hits together
  17. BruisedCrew
    A lot of them are in mini slumps (or worse). They’ve been relying pretty heavily on home run balls because they haven’t been able to string together enough hits to do more than scrape out one run at a time Two runs isn’t going to win a lot of games, and that’s all they’ve gotten in 3 of the last 4. And they’ve got two more tough pitchers coming the next two days.
  18. BruisedCrew
    The offense has gone dead at a bad time. Could be a difficult week.
  19. BruisedCrew
    The Braves have made plays the Brewers have been unable to make.
  20. BruisedCrew
    Probably not considering where the SS was playing.
  21. BruisedCrew
    I hope this post doesn’t wind up in the Jinx Hall of Fame alongside Brock’s proclamation in 2022 that the Brewers making the playoffs was a “given” when they had a 4 game division lead in late July.
  22. BruisedCrew
    To be fair, Perkins has had the team’s biggest hit in the last two games against LHP starters. Riding the hot hand.
  23. BruisedCrew
    Today was a disappointing loss given that, unless they run into a team in September that is seriously tanking, this was the weakest lineup the Brewers will face all season. But, it’s hard to win games with only two runs so, from that standpoint, they were lucky to win the series.
  24. BruisedCrew
    Still too close to take. I think there’s some nitpicking going on here if we think hitters are going to only swing at balls in the strike zone.
  25. BruisedCrew
    I don’t think so, but it was way too close to take. Though the result wasn’t good that was a good AB. He didn’t chase and put a good swing on the 3-2 pitch but just didn’t pull it enough to get into the hole for a game tying single.
