Who my is Urias hitting in the middle of the order? Punch and Judy hitter is tailor made for the 8 hole.

 

he's been one of our best hitters lately and has been driving it hard. Pretty obvious why. He really should be hitting 2nd given his good eye and approach

As someone who was frustrated at Hader’s usage in the bottom of the 9th in Miami in the 1-1 tie game, I will say I think it’s much more understandable to use him in the 9th at home (when you still have an at bat in the bottom of the 9th), especially with the Cardinals middle of the order up.

 

That being said, here’s a FanGraphs article that outlines some of the reasoning why high strikeout closers are more valuable than ever in the new extra innings format: Save Your Closer! (Terms and Conditions May Apply)

Not just “at Night” anymore.

So do we think J.P. Feyereisen is an option for the 10th (if it gets there), or does the fact they had him up in the bullpen earlier mean he’s done for the night?

Maybe we can just have a free throwing knife night whenever we play the cardinals. Just a fun idea.

I would have liked to have seen JP in the 8th, but I'll take the 10th if it goes to that.

He is 3 for his last 25 with 1 walk and has a career 76 OPS+. If he should be our 2 hitter and has been one of our best hitters lately, that is absolutely terrifying.

It’s insane how many fly outs the Brewers have hit to the warning track tonight. Why do I feel like without the new baseball this game isn’t 1-1 right now.

Jackie Bradley jr.... another great signing. I’d love him to prove me wrong but he seems to have joined all others in being below replacement level.
