Prior to Friday night’s dramatic 9-7 win in 10 innings over the Rockies at Coors Field, Brewers manager Pat Murphy said that one of the conversations he regularly has with his players and staff involves the “full catastrophe” that is seemingly always either lurking or present during any given baseball season. He used the term after Milwaukee’s loss to the Giants at American Family Field on Thursday afternoon, as relievers DL Hall -- who was placed on the 15-day injured list on Friday with a left pectoral strain -- and Grant Anderson had to exit the contest due to injuries, further decimating an already thin pitching staff. Things appeared to get even worse in Friday’s game when left-handed reliever Brian Fitzpatrick, whom the club recalled from Triple-A Nashville along with Craig Yoho earlier in the day to fortify the ailing bullpen, left with an elbow injury while warming up for the bottom of the seventh inning.
