did you make this spreadsheet for pitches and availability? that's a cool idea, and helpful

I just watched the Brewers game, just because of Miz.  He was crazy good.   His average 4 seam velo was almost 102mph.

The only thing that will stop him is an injury. If he is throwing that hard it is inevitable, isn’t it?

I agree.  Before the last inning, I was thinking I wouldn't let him pitch the 9th, if I was the manager.  He came back, and finished the game with about 95 pitches, so I guess that's OK.  But, it's hard to imagine he keeps doing this without getting hurt.

104.5 or 95, every pitcher is an inevitable injury

[mk49]

A winning streak would be very nice.

That kid might just be generational.  If I recall, Randy Johnson avoided major elbow and arm injuries.  

[We Got The Whole 9]

103 on his final pitch

CG 1 hit 15 Ks wow

Cubs fans just wish we had a SP that can go 6 and give up 3 or less 😅😅

0 for 2 with RISP, so far.

Mo hacks at another changeup way off the plate.

Cubs dont like to do much first time through order, is this 3rd or 4th game in row doing nothing

DeGrom did not, though. I doubt Miz will escape without an eventual injury. 

[JHBulls]

IMO, not a particularly good send. It came off though. 

[JHBulls]

We so back.

Funny that the currently 2 best cubs starters were in the bullpen.

Random thought: Kevin McGonigle is currently my favourite Baseball name. Like a strong old old school Baseball name such as Urban Shocker.
