This ought to be good (and with that said, it won't be).

Even better. His next start will be against us.

Everybody talks (self included) about the damage to pitchers' elbows with these fireballers, but I also wonder if catchers, receiving hundreds of thousands of these bullets every season, suffer long-term nerve damage on their catching hands. That's a LOT of kinetic energy to suddenly stop just with a mitt.

Misiorowski is so good, but Skenes has an arsenal of pitches that's crazy. And all of Skenes' pitches are good - sweeper and curve both so good.

Did a guy from 2nd really just get to 3rd on a double?

Brewers are just beating up on everybody right now.

Yes. Skenes wasn't exactly helped by Gonzales' error and Cruz not catching that "double." In fairness, I thought Cruz was going to catch the pop up so the guy on 2b had to wait, but the batter could run all the way.

Misiorowski blows away Cruz with a 102 mph fastball.
