Tyler Black has looked rough tonight. For a guy who is supposed to have an elite eye and great hit tool, he just is going down way too easily most AB.
1st AB - 6 pitch strikeout with 3 whiffs
2nd AB - 4 pitch weakly hit GIDP with 3 pitches catching a huge amount of the plate
3rd AB - 3 pitch strikeout with 3 whiffs, strike 3 was chasing a changeup in the dirt.
More and more he's looking like a change of scenery candidate in the offseason
Scary moment for Braylon Payne. Made a diving catch in CF but looked like his spike caught in the grass so he awkwardly rolled after the dive. All appears well. Don't think a trainer went out there but didn't look fun for him.
Someday I dream of Biloxi and Carolina (hopefully moving a nice new stadium in Wilson helps) can get their broadcasts to the quality of Nashville and Wisconsin. Wisconsin seriously has one of the best broadcasts in all of minor league baseball.
I mean if the Brewers get a Top 2 seed and a bye to the NLDS, the game 1 starter is pretty important if the series goes 5 games as that would be your game 5 starter.
Finishing Top 2 in ROTY just guarantees you a full year of service time for the season. Collins was on the opening day roster so he is already going to get a full season of service time for this season. Which means him finishing Top 2 will have no impact on his team control/service time.
It's crazy how efficient the bullpen usage has been the last 2 weeks. Uribe and Megill are the only guys to go back to back days in the last 15 days and they have only done it twice. Grant Anderson is the most recent pitcher to go back to back outside of Uribe and Megill and he did it July 25th and 26th.
12.5 game swings in a span of 43 games typically takes one team being good and one being bad. The fact the Brewers have done this while the Cubs are .500 is just insanity. What a special run.
