When Murphy is looking for post season pitching things are getting jumbled. Sproat is out for sure. As horrible as Harrison has been, he is highly questionable. Senzatela is on the bubble. He's either good or awful. Can they trust him for the playoffs? Either way he's gone after this year. Drohan's last two outings are certainly not encouraging. Stallings has looked good, but he's a low leverage guy at best. Wilson, Anderson, and Koenig are possibilities but not locks.

I don't see any way the Brewers offer Bauers a QO. He's been pretty much a journeyman 1B before this year with a career .223 BA/717 OPS. The most he's ever made was this year at $2.7M. This has been a career year for him, but he'll be 31 next year. I could see something like 3 for $24M - $27M.

The kid just looks over matched too often at the plate. When you have absolutely no power you have to put the ball in play.

Just let Turang sit for a while! 8 whiffs in his last 13 ABs. Brewers 24 whiffs in the last 17 innings. OMG! One of the slowest runners in baseball just scored from 2B on a wild pitch! It looks like the Crew didn't want to come out after the rain delay. I'm hoping for a much better effort from everybody tomorrow.

Especially after throwing 19 pitches last night. This is entirely on Pancake.

22 whiffs in 16 innings so far in this series. What happened to putting the ball in play especially with RISP.

To be fair, an old lady with a limp running backwards would give those three a good race.

How many times this year has Yelich whiffed on that exact same pitch.

You're right. Vaughn has to be in the lineup more. Turang has to be hurt the way he's playing. 2 for 16 with 7 whiffs in the series. They need him healthy (or as close to it as possible) for the playoffs, so sit him for a while. Hopefully Bauers can get the bat untracked. He's getting on base with walks, but the hits and RBIs aren't there right now. I don't know what to think about Rollover. He looks good for a couple of games then goes right back to little weak grounders.

Turang with 9 whiffs in his last 21 ABs. Murphy doesn't have a lot of options for the upper part of the order, so that makes it that much tougher.

Henderson's pitch to pca was right where many, many lefties love it. Low and over the plate. A lot of LH hitters have that golf type uppercut. That ball pca hit didn't even look like it would clear the wall w/o that basket, a routine flyball in Amfam. All right Vaughn!! Got one back.

I'm wondering if the Brewers are getting concerned about Miz. His velocity is down in the last 3 games and so are the Ks. Tonite he didn't have anything that was working and it showed. They are concerned about Harrison's decreasing velocity, and Miz is showing signs of wear too.

I'm scared to death that this is a preview of the playoffs to come. 1st and 2nd nobody out and Churio does something stupid and Bauers then whiffs for the 6th time in his last 10 ABs. Gasser walks the lead off guy then falls apart. The defense is shakey too.

Turang has had an horrible September. .174 BA and OPS with 32 Ks.... They say he keeps losing weight which effects his play. Time for Pancake to bench him for a while (probably never going to happen) or at least move him way down in the order.

It's doubtful the Crew would re-sign May to be a #4-5, but if he continues to pitch like he has, it will be an easy decision to let him go at the end of the year. On another note, the Crew has to get Turang going! He hit only .183 in Sept. with 31 Ks. He often takes the first strike then continues to chase the high fastball and the inside slider with two strikes. He's lost 15 pts on his BA and OBP since Sept 1st. Despite Pancake's sometimes questionable pitching decisions, their lack of power, and occasional frustrating offense, I'd still rather be in their position than any other team in baseball.
