Robert Suarez, who had been away since June 26th with right elbow inflammation, has been reinstated from the 60-day Injured List. Honestly, it’s felt like longer. Suarez pitched 32 innings of 0.56/2.44/3.40 ball while holding down the eighth inning plus a smidge of other high leverage spots. The Tr...

JR Ritchie had maybe his best outing as a major leaguer last night against the Reds. I say maybe because, well, he did give up a homer, and also that the level of competition he faced from the Cincinnati attack was a lot lower than, say, what he faced in his MLB debut against the Nationals. But, I guess the main takeaway is that especially through the first nine batters, he was really good, in a way he often hasn’t been this season. In some ways, the question of whether there’s space on the pl...

Or was it a post-hangover game, given the travel-related off day on Monday? Whatever the case, the Braves didn’t put up much of a fight as they dropped a fairly meaningless contest to the Reds by a score of 4-0. If you want a positive from this game, look at JR Ritchie. Though he didn’t alter his pitch mix and attack sequence in the way I was hoping to see, he still...
PHILADELPHIA – The Brewers clawed back into the game against Phillies ace Zack Wheeler and got four brilliant innings of relief from newcomer Colton Gordon in the left-hander’s Milwaukee debut, only to see Gordon’s outing unravel in his fifth inning on the mound in Tuesday’s 6-4 loss to the Phillies at Citizens Bank Park. Despite the setback, the Brewers (98-59) still managed to clinch a first-round bye and home-field advantage in the NLDS after Atlanta (92-65) lost to the Reds. Here’s how the...
