Lockridge just needs to be way smarter. 2 outs in the 9th inning and you got a horrible jump. Put on the brakes and go back to 1B. He was out by a mile at 2B
Someone should have been up in that scenario. Hall, Senzatela, and Patrick all were available tonight. Henderson's stuff was clearly gone pushing him deeper than he's ever gone before. Obviously this is on the awful offense though. Run support is not allowed anymore.
Durbin is hitting at the same level as a year ago with worse underlying numbers. Collins is hitting comfortable worse than a year ago with worse underlying numbers. Seigler is hitting better but with only marginally better underlying numbers. Monasterio is hitting at the same level as a year ago with better underlying numbers.
If it's a coaching issue, why is that collective group not clearly better than they were a year ago in Milwaukee?
Why would you expect better from the non Yelich, Contreras, Frelick players on that list? Is this a gripe that the Brewers can't coach hitting? A gripe that our FO made bad moves?
That was me but I also think context is required. We are essentially playing with 12 players and our depth IF is a sub replacement level player that we picked up off the street a day ago. This is basically an emergency situation. This isn't something that's going to be routine when Ortiz can start games again and when Pratt comes off the IL.
I'd guess you are right but William has no business hitting in the cleanup spot at this point. I'm not even sure I want him in the lineup tonight. I'd like to see Sanchez get 2 games a series going forward until William looks competent in the box again
During the 21/22 lockout the Major League portion of the Rule 5 draft was postponed and then eventually cancelled. I think they could technically postpone it and then have it when the lockout ends. They didn't do that before but not sure I'd want to take that risk.
Gutsy win and feel like it was a must win with a west coast road trip coming up and the leverage pen guys all down for at least a day.
Sanchez should be the Brewers starting catcher for the time being. Contreras looks like the worst player on the team. Give him a few series where he only needs to play one game a series.
I think the answer is clearly PCA. The defensive gap between the two is substantial. Even if you think Chourio is going to take a leap offensively and PCA isn't going to maintain this offensive level, PCA's defense would still keep him above Chourio.
One thing I don't agree with though is that Chourio hasn't improved. I think we all wanted him to really break out especially after he finished his rookie year so strong and it hasn't happened yet. The underlying numbers though I think show he's at least heading in the right direction.
It’s problematic. You can’t avoid using a guy like this when you have a 7 man bullpen. Sometimes you have to trust using a guy like Wilson in a situation where you don’t really want to use him and I think Murphy is really bad at that. I don’t know if that’s because of his win at all costs mantra or what but he has seemingly been reluctant to use the last guy in the bullpen basically his entire tenure as our manager.
I don't understand trading for Senzatela a guy who has never been used in a single inning reliever role and trying to turn him into a single inning reliever. Today was his first time in his career pitching 3 out of 4 days and he pitched poorly. Why not just keep him in his multi-inning role that he was excelling in while in Colorado?
Three scoreless innings from Wilson. Those would have been nice when the score was 4-4 but Pat Murphy's win at all costs mantra prevents him from seeing the bigger picture.
Really could have used these two scoreless innings from Bryse Wilson in the 5th and 6th innings but Pat Murphy won't use him unless the Brewers are losing.
