I don't get it. You've got Pratt to slide the short and Ortiz to third and a lefty that they can't sub for and you've got a pinch hitter that hits 350 against left-handers.
I'm not as hung on the hundred wins as I am on getting the strikeouts under control because if they start k-ing 10+ times a game in the playoffs it's going to be an early exit.
More than a little worried about the K rate lately. This K rate would likely be an early exit.
9-15 - 8
9-16 - 12
9-17 - 9
9-18 - 12
9-19 - 11
9-20 - 14
9-22 - 15
Really got to get a handle on all the strikeouts before the playoffs. Very tough for the Brewers to play there baseball if they're whiffing two out of every three plate appearances
There's not going to be any easy opponents in the playoffs.
Don't really want to face the Phillies but the only team that we match up really well with is the Cubs but it would be just our luck with we would crap the bed and have to live with that.
