Just noticed they also have a 17 in 17 from June 26th to July 12th. So that's a 16 in 16 and two 17 in 17 stretches during the season.
Brewers have as many off days in March/April and May (10) as they do in June, July, August, and September combined not counting the ASB.
Pretty brutal August and September schedule. From July 31st to the end of the season the Brewers have 5 total off days with a 17 in 17 and 16 in 16 stretch.
I'd say no. Don't think he's an upgrade over Monasterio as a bench RHH IF. Plus we all know Urias can't hang defensively at SS like Monasterio can. Replacing Seigler a LHH with Urias a RHH wouldn't make much sense.
Strike this. With Woodruff going 97 pitches today, I'd bet Gasser starts on Saturday to push Woodruff and Misiorowski to 5 days rest for the last two starts of the 19 in 18 run.
Interesting. I'm sure they have their reasons. Just weird to see as Frelick was really locked into that leadoff spot for a long time there and has hit really well in the leadoff spot.
Myers going 5 innings just isn't a realistic expectation. He hasn't made a full start since the 4th of July and since that start he's thrown more than 50 pitches just 1 time. He's not stretched out to go 4-5 innings anymore.
Well I guess we will see. I'd put under 25% odds that the Brewers have a not fully stretched out Gasser make his season debut on Saturday while coming back from TJ surgery.
What starters are showing clear fatigue? Peralta and Quintana are seasoned vets. Priester is still 26 innings from hitting his career high. I'm not seeing clear fatigue from Misiorowski or Woodruff.
They don't really need another starter. Only 3 of the remaining 8 games would require a starter to pitch on 4 days rest.
Woodruff, Misiorowski, Priester, Quintana, Peralta, Woodruff, Misiorowski, Priester then off day.
Can't imagine that the Brewers will be starting a not fully stretched out Robert Gasser pitching on 4 days rest two starts in a row while coming off TJ
Interesting Brewers lineup. I can't really make sense of the Turang-Frelick flip flopping in the order lately. Also really surprised that Lockridge isn't out there against a LHP after a really strong offensive game yesterday.
I think you have to just hope the Brewers can stand pat these next 10 games. You have the final 8 of the 19 in 18 stretch and then the Phillies. If Brewers can stand pat only losing/gaining 0.5 games then you'd feel pretty great considering the Cubs play the Giants, Rockies, and Braves.
