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.
Brewers simply need a starter to come out and throw 7 shutout innings. Save the bullpen and give the suddenly ice cold offense some breathing room. 19 in 18 with our starters barely going 5 innings and offense not scoring has our bullpen running on fumes.
Also I'll say it again. Tobias is not full stretched out. He hasn't had a fully stretched out start since the 4th of July. Patrick is actually stretched out.
Brewers SP have been very underwhelming in the first 10 games of this 19 and 18 stretch. Only 4 of the 10 starts have gotten an out in the 6th inning and 2 of those 4 only got 1 out. Our starts are putting our relievers in a pretty awful spot.

Looks like 4 DSL players were released yesterday.
DSL Brewers Blue released SS Joan Gutierrez
DSL Brewers Blue released RHP Luis Velasquez
DSL Brewers Gold released OF Pedro Tovar
DSL Brewers Gold released RHP Saul Sanchez
Id guess it’s Patrick not Myers. Myers just isn’t stretched out to be an actual starter. He hasn’t had a fully stretched out start in over a month in a half.
