Milwaukee Brewers’ Pitch Tactics: Logan Henderson’s Role

We were just talking, uh, off air about the brewers, uh, and we were talking last segment about what do you expect the brewers to do? They're not going to go out and get Scooble. Uh, and I think a big reason why is the guy that's on the mound tonight. I think this Logan Henderson is going to be fantastic here, Craig, and having, uh, Ms. And then this guy, who's a big old, uh, you know, lefty that the numbers are great, strikes out the world, doesn't walk a ton of guys. You know, he's only had nine starts this year came off of injury. There's a lot of, and could you imagine Woodruff if he was still healthy? So I think the brewers and you know, you win 69 games, you got two frontline starters. Jones is good for Pittsburgh too, by the way, he's been one of the bright spots for them, especially over the last couple of months. I don't think like we're getting a ton of runs in this game. The total is seven and a half. It feels like a pretty decent pitcher's battle, right? I mean, until you get to the bullpen. I think so. Also, there's another pitcher on Milwaukee. I think he's coming back at some point, but you may remember that Joe, after the first two months of the season, the Cy Young award leader was Christopher Sanchez. He was number one because he had that, he had that perfect month of May. And then the Ms was second. If I'm not mistaken, I'm pretty sure Kyle Harrison on Milwaukee had the third shortest odds to win the Cy Young. And then he got hurt in June. We haven't seen him, but he's another one, Joe, that I think he's going to come back. And when he does, he's really good too. So the thing with the brewers and betting an under with the brewers is that you'd be a little scared if the brewers, if you bet the under seven and a half and they're losing three, two in the fifth, because this team comes back a lot in the late innings, they scrape and bunt and find their way to come back. They don't hit home runs a lot. They have Contreras and a couple of other guys that do, but generally it's all just kind of scrapping out runs. So that's the negative side. The positive side is that if you're watching that game and you bet under seven and a half and the brewers are up four to one that's it. You know, their, their bullpen is lights out and it's not like striking everybody out either. It's just, they know somehow they just know how to get out. They have all these matchups that they, that Murphy uses lefty righty, you know, constantly just very well run and managed team. So that's why we've said the brewers to me, uh, you know, one again, very best team at home in baseball. One of the best teams in baseball post season. I don't know. I think we could be headed down the same road, unfortunately for them again, but during the regular season, especially at home, impossible to be very tough. Yeah. Yeah. And, uh, and again, I'm a big, uh, Logan Henderson fan nine walks in 44 innings so far this year. And the kid is, you know, 10 plus per nine, he is striking out and it's not like you've got a very patient Pittsburgh team. You just convinced me that the pirates team total under is the way that I'm looking here, Craig. I thank you very much for laying that on me. And by the way, Joe, the other good thing too, on the under is that the pirates now look, I don't look, their bullpen was suspect, but they added, uh, Camilo Duvall. They added Weaver. They added Lake Barker. They, they just basically, it's like they took their house and just took all the furniture out and move new furniture in. I would think that the pirates won't get blasted now in the seventh and the eighth. And I would think that that wouldn't happen. I, you know, sometimes it's just endemic. It just keeps happening, but I would think the pirates bullpen is now better than what it was 24 hours ago. I think they added four players. I think to that bullpen.
