A poor 1st inning from Misiorowski after getting the first 2 hitters out. Solo HR, HBP, line drive single to LF, infield single, He gets out of it with a ground ball out, but pitch count is up to 25 with only 14 going for strikes.
Philly just put up 7 runs in a series where Ashby, Wilson, and Rea were our "starters". I wonder if their fans are talking about how inconsistent their offense is and saying it isn't good enough.
I think I'd rather go after Fedde. 1 less year of control so he should be cheaper to acquire and he's already built up to eat innings. He doesn't have the amazing stuff that Crochet has, but he would bring some dependability to our rotation.
Not really changed. That Phillies team is by far the best team in the NL at this point. Just insane pitching both in the rotation and pen. Their offense is really good. Their defense hasn’t been a total liability like previous seasons.
Brewers bats have slumped a bit and are going through a bit of a power outage, but offenses go through stretches like this. I don’t see any reason to be hugely concerned.
We've faced good pitchers in this series who have been on their game, but man the offense pretty much isn't even putting up a fight. Won't get any easier facing Olson and Skubal against the Tigers. Bats need to wake up or it could be an ugly road trip.
He's hit well in the leadoff spot, but I've been thinking the same regarding moving him down because he's been so much less aggressive on the basepaths. Move Ortiz to lead off who really isn't a big SB guy and let Turang get back to stealing bases a ton.
