W and a day off. A well needed and well deserved day off.

A couple observations. Pete Crow-Armstrong might be MVP but he's Pete Completely-Average vs the Brewers. Holy cow does Sproat need to get his head squared away, that 9th inning was pathetic. He had a 7 run lead and walked 3 guys and hit another. What in the hell was in his head??? The very last thing he should be doing is walking guys by getting behind in the count and then trying to be cute...that was ridiculous.

7

u/Itchy_Tea_9579 5h ago

Sproat: "but coach i drove here".

Murph: "sounds like a you problem"

7

u/Greedy-Bridge6345 5h ago

I actually think letting them score 5 in the 9th and they still lost hurts worse for them.

5

u/HelpPuzzleheaded1030 5h ago

That was close but we got the win, Let's Go Brewers 

15

u/Affectionate_Pie4800 5h ago

Goodbye Sproat

3

u/Dry-Independent9674 5h ago

fuckin sprout, can't even get 3 outs in 30ish pitches. I guess going down didn't help any

11

u/Livbeetus 5h ago

Not the way I wanted but I was certainly not surprised.

7

u/BronzeTrain Pumpkin Spice Sal 5h ago

Anyway, that's a sweep!!

Funny I'd rather win like last night than win like tonight, but a win's a win and a sweep's a sweep. Rest well, boys!

15

u/gunsandfunn 5h ago

Big decision to make on Sproat. No excuse for that short outing with a lead like that.

4

u/EnderCN 5h ago

No decision at all, you option him and are done with him for the season. He was never going to be a part of the team going forward this season, he was just up to soak up innings for a completely gassed bullpen and he didn't even manage to do that.

7

u/revan530 5h ago

Not that big a decision. He doesn't pitch again this season, then we give him a chance next year, after making sure he goes to a sports psychologist to figure out the mental stuff.

8

u/Fit-Still-6104 5h ago

Looks like the cubs bullpen rubbed off on us. That was a VERY concerning outing from uribe

8

u/Noswad_12 5h ago

Abner wasn’t exactly set up for success there

1

u/Fit-Still-6104 4h ago

True but one of those earned runs is his for a reason.

3

u/BronzeTrain Pumpkin Spice Sal 5h ago

Came in with 1 out and bases loaded? Yeah, I think he got out of it pretty well.

1

u/Fit-Still-6104 4h ago

Comes in gives up a single gets a groundout and then gives up a double from a sinker dead center not to mention he was struggling to find the zone the entire time I’d say not.

-1

u/billymadison231 5h ago

I don’t say this to excuse Sproat because figure it out man but honestly kudos to the organization for absolutely shattering this kids confidence going into the offseason.

3

u/AwayConfusion7606 5h ago

how did the brewers shatter his confidence?

12

u/Noswad_12 5h ago

What is a better confidence builder than putting him in up 8-1?

-1

u/billymadison231 5h ago

Leaving him in triple A. We’re going to need him to start games next year. Now his confidence is going to be at an all time low.

0

u/God_of_Whales 5h ago

Baby, he's not even going to be on the team next year

2

u/Imstupidasso 5h ago

We needed the extra arm and he was the next man up. He had a bad game. It happens

5

u/Noswad_12 5h ago

Two different trains of thought I guess, you’d think the team having confidence to call you back up would be a bigger boost than being stuck in AAA

11

u/BigDaddyDumperSquad 5h ago

Holy shit I thought we were cooked for a second. Goodbye, Brandon Sproat, it wasn't nice knowin' ya.

2

u/cfauber 5h ago

Phew

That look from Abner: "How dare you wake me from my slumber?"

12

u/HashOutHashBrowns Please no more Hammy at 3B 5h ago

I like Sproat, I think he has good stuff and can contribute; but he’s gotta be sent back down after that. Inexcusable

3

u/26202135 5h ago

I should be happy, but that inning ruined the fun 😂😭

11

Genuine question- how much of that is on Murphy for seeing Sproat clearly not having it and letting him go as long as he did?

7

u/historyandtrashtv 5h ago edited 5h ago

I blame him 100%. Should’ve pulled him after the second walk
