  1. Can’t afford to shut down the offense for the night like Sunday.
  2. When I see second opinion that makes me nervous. They don’t usually look for a second opinion if the first indication is positive. Did the MRI detect a tear?
  3. Have to think that the sun played a role in Yelich dropping that fly ball.
  4. I’m not saying that Murphy is a strategic genius. I am saying that there was a reason for pinch hitting in that situation that doesn’t lead to the conclusion that Monasterio should be starting over Turang against lefties.
  5. They’ve certainly looked very respectable and competitive in their 5 games against the Brewers so far. But their offense has been pretty anemic for most of the season. Their 10-9 win over the Cubs on Saturday broke a string of 23 games in which they didn’t score more than 5 runs in any game. In those 23 games they only scored 47 runs and went 6-17, wiping out an 11-5 start during which they averaged almost 5.5 runs per game. The way they pounded the ball last might it looks like the Brewers might be catching them at a bad time.
  6. The Brewers haven’t faced many LH starters this season, but for his career Turang has been less effective against LHP than RHP. So, for one isolated AB, Monasterio arguably has a better chance of getting on base and starting a rally than Turang. To start the game the analysis is significantly different. For one very important thing, Turang is an elite defender at an important position, something Monasterio is not. Having that elite defender might easily be more important than a relatively small difference in ability to get on base. But, once the team finds itself 5 or 6 runs behind, the importance of defense falls away and getting base runners takes precedence If you want you can quibble about pinch hitting for Turang at that stage of the game. But, IMHO, doing it when behind by 5 runs does not logically lead to the conclusion that Monasterio should start over Turang against left handed starters. I think the game situation significantly changes the analysis.
  7. In part because many teams have multiple significant injuries.
  8. The way the pirates are swinging this is going to be a tough series. The “easier“ May schedule isn’t playing out that way.
  9. The Orioles sent Jackson Holliday back to AAA to work on some things when he started 2 for 34. Maybe it’s time for the Brewers to do that with Chourio.
  10. Now we need a gapper from either Contreras or Yelich.
  11. Making the Pirates pay for their fielding miscues.
  12. He tried and failed yesterday but Viera is putting this one out of reach.
  13. As covered in the thread about the Brewers offense, they have an unusually high number of low scoring games (3 runs or less) for a team with their total number of runs scored.
  14. Offense looks as lethargic as yesterday.
  15. Schroeder has a pretty short or selective memory to be commenting on Rea having to throw extra pitches because of the missed third strike. That pitch was borderline, unlike the strike 3 call on the first hitter of the inning.
  16. The ads on the site have taken over on my iPad tonight.
  17. I don’t rack my brain too much for rarity but on Brewers-Orioles I got 0.6% with Andy Etchebarren. My catcher was Jim Sundberg (0.9%) and my Mariner was Gorman Thomas (6%).
  18. That’s a very disappointing loss after being gifted a 3 run lead in the first inning. It might be hard to sweep a 4 game series, but once you’ve got the first 3 in the bank and a 3 run lead against a pitcher with an ERA over 6 the probability of getting the 4 game sweep is pretty high.
  19. Viera is determined to put this game out of reach.
  20. Lucky that stayed in the park and held them to one run. But that run will be enough unless the Brewers offense wakes up.
  21. The Cards have all the momentum in this game. Never thought I’d see Mikolas throw 5 shutout innings after that first inning. Brewers offense has gone dormant.
  22. It was only a matter of time until Goldschmidt stepped into one.
  23. When I go to a game I want to see the best available players and I’m going to be disappointed when they sit out.
  24. This is a “kick them while they’re down” game. Mikolas is more than hittable and the Cardinals lineup is riddled with players mired in horrible slumps.
