Corbin Burnes must adjust his approach to rediscover success
Michael McLoone-USA TODAY Sports Predictability is hurting Milwaukee’s ace After a blowout loss to the San Francisco Giants on Friday, Corbin Burnes gets the ball on Saturday afternoon seeking to get the Brewers back on track. Handing the ball to Burnes in such a situation would typically be a source of comfort. That has not been the case this season. In 10 starts, Burnes owns a 3.97 ERA, 3.90 xERA, and 4.81 FIP. It would be easy to downplay those numbers as nothing more than a slow start were they not a continuation of a trend that began last summer. Since the start...
