Sans Arcia and Mad Max........ oh and a Catcher to be named later, today's lineup has a feel of our 2018 Game 1 of the World Series lineup.  

Good to see the team taking walks when that is what they're given.

4 walks in 2+ innings is not good for a pitcher's longevity.

Sure am hoping for a different starting pitcher that day.

about time, Sano......

Anyone else feel like Sano is quietly getting his groove back? 

Sano with the RBI. Gotta like that.

The batting average is trending up, the strikeouts are trending down. He's still got a bit of an issue with keeping his emotions well in hand, but yeah, I think you might be right. 

Ok Murphy, here is your chance....

If Mollie would just stop torturing him with RF duty, I think that part would completely evaporate. 

Ugh.  Sacrifice bunts when you already have a runner in scoring position and you have the lead.  *grumble*

 

Do I get to choose?

 

 

 

 

 

 

...Neeson

 

Poop.

 

Ok Murphy, here is your chance....

...to do that.

 

ugggh.

that JR/Hicks trade has paid huge dividends for us. WOOF,

 

not scoring more than one there will be costly.

That's twice now the Brewers have chosen to pitch to Murphy with 2 outs, runners on, first base open, and the pitcher due up next.

 

You don't see that very often.

nor does it usually pay off, twice. but when you don't even hit .090...

It's paying off. Kinda like Joe taking walks. If they'll give him the base, he'll take it.

 

The Brewers will pitch to Murphy, because if he's giving them outs, they'll take 'em.

Should have been a pitcher.

Buxton... boy, it sure would be nice if he would strike out and fly out less. You've got to imagine he's been instructed to hit the ball on the ground more often. 

Aaron Hicks .050/.095/.050

John Ryan Murphy .087/.130/.130

 

We're winning the trade!

Good Lord Dozier is terrible at taking what the defense gives him.

Nice pick, Jorge!

And the thing that bugs me the most:  he was working on that in Spring Training

Yeah, that pitch slipped  

Who is this guy, and what has he done with Ricky Nolasco?

Mauer's got a hell of a game going so far. That's a vintage-Mauer double right there.

That's Mauer power!

lessons learned so far:

-It is preferable for a pitcher to strike out 5 opponents than to walk 5 opponents.

-Although slow and dangerous behind the wheel, Ricky Nolasco can serve a purpose.
