PrintBehind today's door we find...Mitch Stetter!
While he struggles a bit with walks (41 unintentional passes in 75.1 career innings), Stetter has quietly cemented himself in the Brewers' LOOGY role, and shown flashes of brilliance while doing so. Consider this stretch, from May 27 to July 8 of last year, where Stetter went 17 outings (14.2 IP) without allowing an earned run, while striking out 24.
Because he pitches primarily to lefties, though, Stetter's outings are typically short. Through his first 107 outings as a Brewer, Stetter has pitched just 75.1 innings, averaging out to roughly .7 innings per appearance. That's the third lowest total ever among Brewers with at least 100 appearances:
| Pitcher | IP | G | IP/G |
| Mike Myers | 91.1 | 141 | 0.65 |
| Brian Shouse | 133 | 201 | 0.66 |
| Mitch Stetter | 75.1 | 107 | 0.70 |
| Ray King | 154.2 | 206 | 0.75 |
| Jesse Orosco | 134.2 | 156 | 0.86 |
| Derrick Turnbow | 198 | 218 | 0.91 |
| Dan Kolb | 147 | 154 | 0.95 |
| Luis Vizcaino | 215.1 | 224 | 0.96 |

I have an irrational love for Jesse Orosco

The AP library had four pictures of Stetter.
Three were of him being taken out of a game or reacting to allowing a home run. This was the fourth.
That's all I've got for you today, unless you're interested in some Chris Capuano/Tom Haudricourt Fan Fiction.
Interesting...
Did Kendall ever untuck? Granted in that picture it might be tough to untuck with all the gear on, but I don’t recall ever seeing him ever untuck.
Nope.
I don’t think Hoffman untucks, either.

He does rock the old man, saggy ass pants like a true geriatric though.

Turnbow made the list!
My favorite right handed specialist.
I would give Mitch Stetter a moonbounce made of bacon if I could.
that quote makes me want to sponsor lots of BR pages and put nonsensical quotes in them.

Wonder who did that?
It’s linked to BCB so it has to be someone friendly.
E: George 4 (5, throw, throw, throw, throw).
Nonsensical? Probably.
But if I had the bacon, Mitch Stetter would have a moonbounce.

my gf has the biggest crush on this guy. she was first in his line at the hart park blockparty.
i don’t see it. probably cause I don’t mind how he pitches.
