    I doubt that that would help. It just gives him a day to stew on the bench about his slump. He just has to fight through it.

    My feeling about the contact play is that you do it with runners on second and third and none out. if the lead runner is thrown out at the plate you should have runners on first and third so you haven’t affected your chances of getting one run.
  3. BruisedCrew
    Regardless of how good he is, he still has to wait for the ball to come down If Mitchell had been running on contact, I think he would’ve had a decent chance to beat even a perfect throw. And if he’s thrown out, the runner on second should be over at third and you still have a chance to get the run in.

    I think if they had had the contact play on Mitchell, would have scored because of the high hop.

    I would be happy to put up (or admit that I am wrong) if I could see in the crystal ball how the players who are currently injured and/or on the downside of their careers are going to perform this year, But, evaluating the current value of a pitcher based on having been on the All Star team once in their careers (or twice in Woodruff's case) doesn't make sense to me when those appearances took place a few years ago (9 years ago in Quintana's case) and have been followed by subpar seasons or significant injuries. I have a pretty good idea what to expect from Peralta based on his last two seasons. IMHO the other 5 you named come with big question marks. I wouldn't expect any of them to make an All Star team this year. An article in the Athletic last week ranked the MLB rotations as of Opening Day, and they ranked the Brewers 22nd, behind the Pirates (11), Reds (18), and Cubs (21). Only the Cardinals were lower at 25. It seems like a lot of things would have to go well for the Brewers to have the best rotation in the division, most notably Woodruff returning to something resembling his ace form of 2022..

    Players who “have been” All Stars are often has beens. if that’s the best rotation in the NL Central (which I doubt) it’s simply a sad commentary on how weak the division is.

    First hard hit ball of the game for the Brewers.
  8. BruisedCrew
    The very first game in 1970 was 12-0. I was there to witness that one. The fact that it was good to just have a team cushioned some of the blow.

    Getting booed off the field in the home,opener is never good.
  10. BruisedCrew
    If by chance the Brewers ever took a lead into the 7th inning, who are the 3 relievers supposed to be who would be used to protect the lead? Megill is one, but who else?
  11. BruisedCrew
    I definitely do not think the bats are the issue. My comment was meant to be sarcastic.. Some people are trying to make excuses for what is a very serious problem. A six day rotation of Peralta, Cortes, and 4 bullpen days is doomed to failure and certain to put a strain on several pitchers in the bullpen. And when the “good news” is that Woodruff, Quintana, and Meyers “might” be ready by May, concerns for this season run a lot deeper than getting swept the first weekend. The team might be digging a hole in April that will be hard to climb out of.

    Does Garcia use a torpedo bat?
  13. BruisedCrew
    One thing about the horrible pitching is that it has taken the spotlight off of how anemic the hitting has been. The 9 runs on Saturday were a mirage created by Yankees errors and indifference.
  14. BruisedCrew
    So, maybe 2 innings?
  15. BruisedCrew
    Guess we’ll have to wait until tomorrow to get through a full inning without being behind.
  16. BruisedCrew
    Why waste Bauers in a game like this. He might be needed if the game is close tomorrow.
  17. BruisedCrew
    It doesn’t help the morale that Yelich, Contreras, and Chourio have all looked awful at the plate.
  18. BruisedCrew
    How many call ups are there going to be for the bullpen games the next two days.?
  19. BruisedCrew
    I think the tone of resignation reflected that the Yankees were likely to add on several more runs against the succession of bums the Brewers are forced to send to the mound. Subsequent events have borne that out.
  20. BruisedCrew
    You still have to get the bat on the ball and hot it with some authority. That's something a decent major league pitcher can help prevent.
  21. BruisedCrew
    Guys on the IL is part of the disaster, but it is also a fact.. t's not like they have any sure things among the pitchers on the IL, most of whom have been more on than off the IL for the last two years.
  22. BruisedCrew
    You know that a starting rotation is a disaster when a team schedules a bullpen day for the fourth game of its season. The home opener, no less. then, when two of the three starters can’t get through more than a couple of innings, the bullpen is stressed even further. It’s hard to believe that it was only three years ago that the Brewers had one of the best rotations in MLB backed up by two of the best relievers in the league. Now they have nothing but question marks in the rotation and in the bullpen. This could be the season where the formula that produced good records is not going to work.
  23. BruisedCrew
    Levering is such a boob. Says that after Chourio’s flyout it will take a Herculean effort to hit one out today. Maybe hit them not so high and more down the lines.
  24. BruisedCrew
    Wind blowing in so finally the Brewers start hitting the ball in the air.
  25. BruisedCrew
    It’s just one game and, of course, there will be stinkers in any season. But when the pitching staff, especially the starting rotation, is a big question coming into the season it’s pretty unsettling to see a disaster like today
