It's just because it's so uncharacteristic.

 

Might be a byproduct of trying to pitch to more contact this year (thus changing his pitch mix). He's always been kind of wild in the zone too. Misses his spots a lot but he's just so nasty it doesn't matter.

 

Also the Brewers take a [expletive] ton of pitches so that doesn't help...they're like 3rd in the league in P/PA.

 

Yeah, the Brewers, while they suck, are very disciplined. They are the only team in the league that swings at a smaller percentage of pitches out of the zone than us.

I'm certainly not disappointed with 5 runs, but honestly we probably *should* have more right now

 

Is there anything to the saying "save some for tomorrow"?

 

Well, that was a whole lot of nothing, Zobrist.

anyone who consistently listens to WSCR, two commercials I can't stand:

- DirectTV's 'THEY'RE ALL WATCHING RE-RUNS TONIGHT"

- ROSEN ROSEN ROSEN

I'm....really hoping this is precautionary

 

Because if Bryant is out for any serious amount of time I'm gonna get all superstitious and horsefeathers

7 walk so far in Arrieta's last two starts (so far). That's odd.

8

and 1 in the last inning of his start against Colorado...what a worthless pitcher

I really hate this Villar guy

He's basically Billy Hamilton without as much speed. I remember having him in fantasy for his random power outburst in April of I think 2014.

I know KB was hit on the arm with the first HBP...what about the second?

Think it was leg or foot, but he trotted to first without much of a problem

Leg, looked like it hit a little above his knee on his thigh on his left leg. Didn't look bad at all, maybe it tightened up a bit and with the cold they didn't want to risk anything. Especially with him in LF today

he's had how many games to practice and he still sounds like when one of the 7th inning guests jokingly tries to do pbp for a pitch.
