Brewer77

The Brewers could commit to that deal for Naylor. But why is that the best use of resources for the Brewers? A 120ish wRC+ 1B does not move the needle for this offense. They could run it back with a Vaughn/Bauers platoon and get similar production Meanwhile we just witnessed a playoff run where the Brewers basically had one guy they were comfortable starting against any lineup. The Brewers obviously do a great job developing pitching, but playoff starters are a scarce commodity and Woodruff is one of them when healthy. It’s well worth the risk attached to it

What else would the Brewers have spent that $22M on? Let’s be real with ourselves here. They weren’t going to commit to a long term deal with any free agent and any worthwhile player that signs to a short term deal is going to carry a lot of risk or flaws themselves

The upside on this is tremendous and the downside is just a one year loss on the books Very excited to have him back. He is a master of his craft on the mound. Now he just needs to master the art of availability

Yes, he’s not getting squeezed. Just missing by a ball or two quite often

Bad baseball there

Tough night with RISP

Sounds like “I’m a bit sore, give me a week off and I’ll be fine” But I’m not gonna fully bank on it considering our history with crushing late season injuries

One minute you have 9 SPs to choose from, the next you’re signing Erick Fedde in the heat of a playoff race (That was completely tongue in cheek before anyone overreacts)

Pitchers having a tough time finding the strikezone this series. So frustrating

The growth Turang has shown since he debuted is remarkable. From pure slap hitter to legitimate 20 HR threat

The Braves are 11-3 since our series. Perhaps they’re starting to play more to their talent level

Only way to power through this is to think of the lineup with Chourio back in it and Turang and Contreras continuing to abuse baseballs like they have been in August

He hits so many infield pop ups. I’m tired of it

Win one more? I’d be surprised if we lost one more :)

He wasn’t throwing the ball well in Nashville and is all over the place today. Not looking overly promising
