It’s clear this lineup is filled a pre-lockout players. They are simply inexpensive place holders that will help them keep costs down leading up to December. When baseball returns in 2029-2030, most will be long gone and likely out of baseball completely.
Jackson Chourio hit himself in the back of his leg on his backswing. If you slow it down, you can see the end of the bat hit his leg and he immediately tries rubbing it out. I don’t think it’s related to his hamstring injury. Not that it really matters this season.
It’s been a good run but I’m afraid the crew have run out of steam. It’s a season of attrition and only a few teams can withstand a long run. I’m afraid the Brewers aren’t going to be one of them.
I was expecting an absolute raucous game tonight with crazy high energy and aggressive confidence. Instead, we got the whimpering weenies. I’m very worried.
Woodruff’s interview didn’t make me feel good about his chances for a return. He said it isn’t career ending but…he stopped short of saying the next part.
Well done article. There were short periods of time in seasons when Hoffman, Axford, Hader and Williams were automatic holds but they were short-lived. No matter who the closer is, I never feel comfortable going into the 9th with a one run lead.
