Misiorowski rebounds after rough start as Brewers rally for win over Cubs
Brewers rookie sensation Jacob Misiorowski found out Monday night that it's not always smooth sailing on the mound in the major leagues. Sporting a 3-0 record with a 0.56 ERA in three starts at American Family Field since making his major league debut on June 12, Misiorowski had a forgettable first inning against the Chicago Cubs with first place on the line in the NL Central in front of a sellout home crowd. After allowing a bloop single and walk to begin the game, Misiorowski took a line shot off the bat of Seiya Suzuki to his shin. The 23-year-old then struck out Pete Crow-Armstrong but threw a wild pitch in the process, allowing a run to score. Then, after fielding a dribbler in front of the mound, Misiorowski's knee buckled as he threw wildly to first as two runners scored. Misiorowski threw 40 pitches in the inning, which ended when he struck out Nico Hoerner after a 10-pitch at-bat. 'It was a long inning and long innings suck,' Misiorowski said. 'Your legs start feeling a little loose and every pitch seems to be getting away just a little bit.' After the troublesome first, Misiorowski settled down and retired 10 consecutive batters while throwing 40 pitches over the next three innings as the Brewers offense erupted for four runs in the third to take a lead they wouldn't relinquish en route to an 8-4 victory. 'Just trust that the team is behind me and is going to help me out and they did,' Misiorowski said of his mindset after the first inning. 'I thought I did my job of getting us into a position to succeed.' Clubhouse leader Christian Yelich offered encouragement for his young teammate. 'I told him it was my favorite start he's had in the big leagues,' Yelich said. 'This shows you a lot about what he's made of. You can get down on yourself big right there. That's how it's going to be in the big leagues. It can be messy sometimes. You've got to reach back and compete when that kind of stuff happens.' Manager Pat Murphy said he learned a lot about Misiorowski by how he handled the adversity. 'We're down 3-0. He feels horrible. It's like a fighter getting knocked down in the first round and he had to regroup,' Murphy said. 'And that he did. It just goes to how you the kid can pitch, not just throw. He'll remember this outing and he's going to learn from it.' Murphy said Misiorowski told him he was exhausted after the lengthy first inning. 'But he still gave us four (innings) and wanted to go out for a fifth,' Murphy said. Misiorowski allowed three hits and three runs in four innings. He walked two and struck out seven while throwing 11 pitches of 100 mph or more. The Brewers scored four runs off Matthew Boyd (11-4) in the third to take a 4-3 lead. Yelich had an RBI double, Isaac Collins a two-run single, and Brice Turang a sacrifice fly. Andrew Vaughn hit a solo homer in the fifth and Sal Frelick hit another in the sixth to give the Brewers a 6-3 lead. After the Cubs got a run in the seventh cut the margin to 6-4, Yelich hit a two-run shot to give the Brewers a four-run cushion. 'We just had to keep putting together good at-bats, just grinding, getting in there and making it messy,' Yelich said. 'Just chip away. We didn't have to get it all back right away.'

Umpire inexplicably issues a third-strike pitch-clock violation to Cubs' Seiya Suzuki while he walks off foul ball to his groin
This is not the intent of the pitch clock. In fact, it's a shining example for umpires of how not to implement it. During the first inning of Monday's game between the Chicago Cubs and Kansas City Royals, Cubs centerfielder Seiya Suzuki fouled off a 3-1 slider from Royals starter Noah Cameron. The ball bounced off the dirt at Suzuki's feet and straight back up into what's frequently referred to in these instances as Suzuki's groin. But we all know where it hit him — where it hurts. Thankfully for Suzuki, the blow appeared to be glancing. But even a glancing blow is cause for at least a moment of pause, which Suzuki took to walk things off. By the time Suzuki got settled back into the batter's box — in a more than reasonable amount of time, given the circumstances — the pitch clock had expired. And home plate umpire Clint Vondrak called Suzuki for a pitch-clock violation. The penalty for the violation was the third strike of Suzuki's at-bat and the end of the inning. Suzuki, commendably, walked calmly to the dugout without protest. Cubs manager Craig Counsell walked out of the dugout to take up Suzuki's case. Counsell gestured toward his own groin area while pleading with Vondrak to demonstrate the absurdity of the situation. When a baseball player gets hit in the, ahem, groin, with a baseball, he should automatically be provided with some leeway to get back to the batter's box. There's no specific hit-in-the-groin exception in the language of MLB's pitch timer rules. There shouldn't have to be. The moment the ball hits a batter's groin is the moment a timeout should be triggered. Suzuki shouldn't have to call one. This is common sense. There is leeway in the rulebook for an umpire to exercise common sense. "Umpires may provide extra time if warranted by special circumstances," the rulebook states. This was a special circumstance. But Cameron opted not to acknowledge it. Either that, or he missed what happened and didn't take the time or effort to suss the situation out. Either way, this one's on him.
