2025 MLB Season

[GB Warrior]

Miz wasn't the issue. Thought he was in control around 99/100 the entire game. The bullpen is leaky right now. I'm sure they're simply exhausted in this stretch. Murph is taking every risk to stretch some and give others a night off.  Arizona also might just be good offensively.

A starter who can't make it into the 6th isn't a problem for an exhausted bullpen?

[Its DJOver]

I'm not Murph, but it seems like the plan was for the combo of Miz and Myers to go 7+.  If that was the case, Miz was not the problem.

Myers had a week off and you knew he was going to be a multi-innings guy. Planning his appearance around Miz is just good management.

I don't know how someone can be criticizing the pitching management when the top three relievers all got days off. This is someone who criticizes posters for enjoying their teams though.

Did you miss the part where he's soaring past his innings from prior year? It's a problem that the staff is repeatedly not getting far enough in during this stretch. If Miz pitches like this he's probably less of a concern than Peralta or Woodruff not being able to go 6 more often.

That said, it might only be an issue for this stretch of a fckton of consecutive games because of how starters are used in postseason play.

Miz almost certain to be paired with an opener or secondary long reliever (Henderson/Myers) in the postseason because of the innings he's logged.

If we're still having this conversation next year I'll entertain it's legitimate.

Sure, guys.

There was a nice article about this new Brewers pitcher in the WSJ a few days ago.  Misorowski?  96 mph slider? 

You're just hearing about this guy?

Sometimes I don't know what people remember. The above is what I was referencing.

Trevor Megill flexor strain.  Is it post-season time already?

Did he punch a wall? A police officer at an insurrection?

Sounds like just a boring, normal injury.

Like dropping a suitcase on your hand wasn't a freak sex injury.

Honestly, every win the Brewers can scrap makes it harder for the Cubs to claim the division. I don't care if they do it by 1 or 10 though it will obviously be much more stressful if it's tight.

Focus needs to be people being healthy and firing on all cylinders in October

I think they can fill the closer role with Uribe.  I think.  Might be some volatility, though.  I could see Ashby doing it as well in spots.  The problem is, depth takes a hit.  Probably a good thing they added Shelby Miller who had a spell as closer last year

[Its DJOver]

Anyone know how close Gasser is to a return?  I don't know if I'm allowed to be excited about him because of his performances as a Rookie, but I remember seeing reports that he was being eyed up as potentially available around the end of August.

You're allowed to be excited since he doesn't play for the White Sox

[BM1090]

He threw 93 pitches. He's limiting his own innings.

Last night was the first night he wasn't on a limit. He was working through some crap since he didn't have a rehab assignment. He's back now.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Chourio, Hoskins, and Ortiz are all due back in the next week. Barring any fresh injuries,  that probably sends Bauers, Siegler, and Lockridge to Nashville. Offense will be at full strength for the first time.

Does Fedde go into the rotation? If so does that send Miz to the bullpen?

Gasser and Zastryzny have been rehabbing in Nashville for a few weeks now. Gasser has been doing well, EZ has not.  Maybe they can give some fresh arms to the bullpen? Anderson is supposedly staying the minimum on the DL so hell be back soon. Maybe Yoho gets another shot?

Unfortunate that Henderson is getting shut down. Would have been nice to have him for September

[wadesworld]

Cannot have control issues if you're coming out of the pen.  I don't think Miz coming out of the pen would be very good.

[MU82]

Speaking of pitchers who eat innings ...

Seattle's Bryan Woo went 5 2/3 in today's win over San Diego. It was the first time all season (26 starts) that he didn't pitch 6+ innings.

[18thandWells]

Aroldis Chapman has not given up a hit in 14 consecutive appearances.

Most likely has hit more woman over that time period.

[GB Warrior]

Disappointed that the Brewers pitching lab made no improvements to Fedde

[JWags85]

Most likely has hit more woman over that time period.

I was thinking that probably was the number of cycles of gear he did in that period as well.
