Expiring means they are expiring and will be FA after the season. Hoskins is the only expiring position player. Pitchers can be expiring too....it's not difficult to understand.
Glass half full is that if this team continues to not look very good the Brewers have plenty of expiring players that could net decent returns at the trade deadline
Regardless of the ump call, I have no clue why Turang was throwing behind the runner on 3rd there. I literally watched the Carolina Mudcats have that exact same situation earlier this week and they handled it so much better despite being an infield made up of pretty much entirely infielders.
Jacob Misiorowski might have just had the most disgusting inning I've ever seen. 16 pitches, struck out the side. Threw 10 FB that averaged 101.1 and was up to 102.3
I'm sorry but you just shouldn't be making a comparison of May 8th attendance average to full season attendance average. If you want to make a comparison it needs to be to attendance numbers at this point in previous years.
Also because you're not from Wisconsin maybe you just aren't as familiar with this but the Brewers are far more of a state team than a Milwaukee team. Brewers play in the smallest metro in the MLB with many people in the Racine/Kenosha area south of Milwaukee being Cubs fans. Early in the season when the weather isn't great and school is in session the Brewers attendance typically doesn't look good. As the school year ends attendance typically starts to improve.
He came back out for one batter in the 5th and got a flyout on 4 pitches.
4.1 IP, 3 H, 0 ER, 1 BB, 6 SO
63 pitches, 42 strikes
6 called strikes, 14 whiffs (34 swings)
Gave up a leadoff single in the 4th then went flyout, strikeout, flyout.
4 IP, 3 H, 0 ER, 1 BB, 6 SO
59 pitches, 40 strikes
6 called strikes, 14 whiffs (34 swings)
Struck out the side in inning 2.
2 IP, 2 H, 0 ER, 1 BB, 5 SO
38 pitches, 25 strikes
5 called strikes, 12 whiffs (20 swings)
That's a 60% whiff rate and 45% CSW rate
Well first inning was something! Looks like tonight has pitch data again.
2 H, 0 ER, 1 BB, 2 SO
22 pitches, 13 strikes
If the numbers are correct he had 9 whiffs on 13 swings.
It's not an age crutch. You're just being hyperbolic and overly critical. I've watched most of Made's games at SS and you're over exaggerating about how frequently he looks bad there.
For perspective on the age difference. Made won't play a professional game being at least the age Pratt was during Pratt's full season debut until minor league opening day in 2027. When Pratt was Made's age he was just about to start his senior year of high school and was 11 months from even being drafted.
You've also never seen Pratt play baseball for the Brewers as a 17 year old. Pratt was 4 months from turning 20 during his first streamed game as a Brewer.
They didn't. That pitch was developed this offseason by the White Sox. They wanted him to add a changeup and gave him a couple of grip suggestions. He found one that worked and boom there it was. It was the first thing they did after they drafted him.
