2013-05-07 Rangers (Grimm) at Brewers (Peralta), 7:10 PM CDT [Brewers win, 6-3; Yuni takes team lead with 8th HR]

[The stache]

Another case of the Brewer bats starting off with a lot of runs in the first, and then doing nothing to rest of the game. We're allowing the Rangers to creep back into this game.

[The stache]

Do we have anybody up in the pen???

[The stache]

Wheels coming off. Way to punt it, Aramis.

[AZBrewCrew]

Aramis and Rickie play on the same intramural soccer team.

[adambr2]

Not sure how Peralta has been good this year. He's been carrying an ERA over 5.00 since his April 16th disaster against the Giants.

 

He's allowed twice as many hits as K's and nearly as many walks as K's - a guy who is supposed to be a strikeout pitcher.

 

Not saying potential isn't there, but I wouldn't say he's been good, aside from a couple starts.

[The stache]

I thought Peralta was supposed to be a strikeout pitcher? He's not fooling anybody on the mound.

[vegasbrewcrew1993]

RRR be a good manager and take out Willy. Help out the rookie.

[The stache]

Why is he still in there? He's getting lit up. Do we need to allow them to tie it up before he gets the hook?

[vegasbrewcrew1993]

Aramis better redeem himself later. He struck out with the bases loaded and is at fault for a run maybe two.

[The stache]

34 pitches thrown. I'm not so much worried about the score as I am Wily's health. He's laboring, and I don't want him to throw his arm out.

 

Mercifully, Soto pops up to end it.

[topper09er]

Big Wily is definitely done, that last pitch was right down the middle on 3-1

[adambr2]

At least he finished it up for a "quality start".

 

Not that Peralta doesn't have talent to maybe be a good pitcher in the future, but it makes me kind of sad that this is literally the best starting pitching prospect we have had since Gallardo. That's awful.

[vegasbrewcrew1993]

good job willy. at least we are still up by 2

[adambr2]

That was one of those situations where just because Peralta got out of it doesn't mean that Roenicke made the right call to leave him in. Sometimes you get lucky.

You make it sound like he's at best a #4. Yes the state of our farm system isn't that great when it comes to pitching. There are guys there though

Right now? He is at best a #4. Has the "potential" to be a #2. But, so did Parra.

[markedman5]

How many times have we seen the brewers score 5 early runs and then not add on? Seems like too many

He's got ace caliber stuff. If he can fix his control problems he could be a #1. The team has to do a better job when it comes to pitching prospects. Peralta's the only guy with ace potential. Everyone else is at best a #3.

[The stache]

Be very careful here.

The Ranger broadcasters said that Peralta's strikeout pitch is the slider, and at least thus far, he's not getting good command on it. They pointed to that as the reason for his lower strikeout total in the Majors.

[markedman5]

I think all Peralta needs is a more reliable off speed pitch and a willingness to throw it.

If he can start to control that slider he will be a real tough guy to deal with.

[The stache]

We have 8 hits. 5 were in the first inning. After an explosion to start the game, our offense has gone night night.

[vegasbrewcrew1993]

how nice would it be if the Brewers had a matt harvey like prospect? how about a zach wheeler?

[vegasbrewcrew1993]

ok aramis all is good
