What's up with Urias bending himself backwards until the pitcher is about to release? That doesn't look like that would benefit any hitter.

 

We tried doing that last week on the golf course. It kind of hurt.

Lauer has convinced me that he is part of the solution moving forward. With Houser Ashby and him I wouldn't mind seeing a 6 man rotation again next year. Anderson is probably done here. Keep everyone healthy with the depth they have.

 

 

I’m sold on the 6 man rotation.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

That was....not close. Sigh.

Radio guy said it was a good pitch. Game day disagrees

[igor67]

I'm trying to remember the explanation from a TV broadcast a couple of weeks ago, but I believe it helps him not fly open with the front shoulder.

It looked closer on replay, maybe. That's just not a pitch Rowdy should be swinging at, so stings to get rung up on it.

Hope Sternes finds a gold glove first baseman this off season.

The first baseman we have is doing just fine

[Eye Black]

Lauer has looked very poised tonight. Having Lauer become a solid mid-rotation starter along with the emergence of Ashby as a starter with great stuff (and even the possibility of Ethan Small as an eventual backend starter) could give the Brewers a really nice collection of left-handed starters in the coming years.

This is correct. That's what they said anyway.

Tellez? Why wouldnt he be back?

 

Edit: Hes 26 and has been solid since joining the Brewers. 790 ops, 110 ops+

Strike 3 for Yelich….ball 3 for Harper…..same spot.

I’m willing to wager that he will be.

Harpers was a little lower, but the point is the same. Lauer not getting the high strike calls.

If Lauer is a stud, does it even matter what Grisham and Urias do? What a nice trade this is turning out to being.

[jason21nl]

Mannnn. Urias just can’t throw the ball accurately to 1st

[BruisedCrew]

The stupid ivy at Wrigley cost the Cubs a tying run. With a runner on first and two outs a drive in the gap took one hop and disappeared into the vines.

 

Cubs still trail 2-1.

[markedman5]

6 outstanding innings for Lauer……great to see

The weirdness of 2020 makes that trade really tough to evaluate. I'm happy with it. Both teams got value. San Diego a bit more quickly so far, but I'm with you. If this is the Lauer we'll get....that'll change.

[Eye Black]

This is the part of the game where the Brewers offense usually begins to ignite.

G: 20

W-L: 4-5 (hopefully 5-5 soon)

ERA: 3.22

IP: 95.0

SO: 90

WHIP: 1.18

 

I mean, this is some good stuff. If we didn’t have 3 others guys fighting over a Cy Young, this guy would be talked about a lot more. Awesome to see.

He’s really only had one true ERA busting outing this season. That 2.0 IP against the Tigers in which he gave up 7 hits and 7 earned runs. If you subtract that one outing his season ERA would currently be 2.61.

This Rosso is a load to handle.

Well toss him in the Cy Young sweepstakes too then! I did not know this. Cool!
