  1. I don’t know if this has been posted anywhere, but I see that Henderson’s scheduled start on Wednesday is in question because of back tightness.
  2. I think this play was a perfect example of the philosophy that if you never get thrown out running the bases, you’re being too conservative. I was at the game yesterday and when that ball was hit and I saw that it was in the gap I expected to see Turang going for two. It took a perfect throw to get him on a bang bang play. In that situation, with two outs and nobody on base, trying for two makes a lot of sense. If you make it, you have a runner in scoring position with two outs. If you’re thrown out, the inning is over and you move on. Sanchez getting thrown out at third on Saturday was a terrible decision. IMHO, Turang getting thrown out yesterday was the kind of aggressiveness the Brewers need to be successful.
  3. I was at the game today and I think a lot of that is a reaction to the thousands and thousands of fans decked out in Dodger blue (seemingly 90% of them with Ohtani’s name on the back. They cheer his every move and Brewers fans respond. Going to Dodgers games isn’t much better than Cubs games. it’s hard to tell sometimes who the home team is.
  4. Sanchez getting thrown out was a bonehead play, but I have a hard time thinking of it as a turning point, even though tit would have put at least a few more pitches on Sasaki.. Ortiz would have been up next and chances are he would have ended the inning. Even one more run might not have made a difference given that the offense was dormant the rest of the night after that inning.
  5. Some terrible outfielders have respectable fielding percentages because they don’t get to enough balls to make errors. Fielding percentage is generally a bad measure of fielding ability and it’s especially bad for outfielders.
  6. I made a statement earlier this week that the Brewers great May record has been largely a result of sensational pitching with enough offense to take advantage of it. That comment drew a skeptical response, probably because for the season the Brewers are fourth in the NL with 5.04 runs scored per game. To check my perception I looked at the league run production for just the month of May. The Brewers May record of 13-4 is the best in the league, followed by the Phillies at 13-6 and the Braves at 12-6. The Brewers have scored 77 runs in the month for an average of 4.53 RPG. That is about a half run lower than their full season average and puts them 8th in the NL for the month. The league average for the month is 4.49 RPG. So even following their best offensive series of the month, their run production has been about average. On the pitching side, though, the Brewers have allowed only 40 runs, an average of a stingy 2.35 runs per game. Not only is that the best in the league, it is far ahead of the second best (Dodgers at 3.05 RPG) and almost 2 full runs per game better than the league average of 4.31.
  7. Yep. His mother (Ashley Crow) was the mother of Billy Heywood in Little Big League.
  8. We have the weekend 12 pack so we have the dates set in advance. This will be our fourth game this year. Harrison started all of the other three.
  9. Interestingly, Chourio and Vaughn returned to the roster on May 4. Up to that date the Brewers had scored 172 runs in 33 games (5,212 RPG). In the 13 games since then they have scored 60 runs or 4.61 RPG.
  10. I’m bummed, though I anticipated that the Brewers would do this with the off day tomorrow and the Cardinals coming up on Monday. We’re going to the game Sunday and I was hoping to see Misiorowski for the first time. Instead we get a matchup between Sproat and Yamamoto, who hurled the complete game against the Brewers in the playoffs. Maybe the Brewers can repeat the game from last July (a game we were at) when they knocked him out in the first inning.
  11. I respectfully disagree with your classification of me as a relentless mope. If my opinions and ways of expressing myself have driven anyone off the board, they must be pretty narrow minded. Especially considering that my volume of posts, especially on in game threads, is relatively low. Maybe your problem is that you think people are trying to “win” the board as opposed to simply expressing their opinions,
  12. I suspect that the poster who criticized Murphy for removing Ashby to have Patrick face, Conforto did not realize that Conforto was a pinch hitter who was announced only after Ashby was removed.
  13. There seems to be some tension on the board between the “relentless mopes” and the pompous holier than thous.
  14. If they’re going to use this “piggyback” approach with certain relievers going 4 innings like Patrick and Drohan have done the last few days, people are going to have to adjust their expectations for how often they can be used. In Patrick’s case, it was like using a starter to pitch to a batter or two in between starts on a day they might be throwing on the side anyway. In the past starters were used like this occasionally. I wouldn’t expect to see Drohan or Patrick today.
  15. That would make me nervous because he doesn’t have much late inning high leverage experience
  16. I hope Misiorowski is going to be pitching Sunday.
  17. This flag is fraudulent. The real L flag is blue with a white L.
  18. If he brings in Uribe i’m going to be nervous about who would back him up if things go sideways.
  19. Conforto hit a game tying three run homer on Sunday after the White Sox made an error on a ball that should’ve ended the inning,
  20. Looks like Ashby wants to give up five so he has a chance for a win.
  21. It hurts to,let that chance get away. Might really regret that later.
