2014-04-11 Pirates (Liriano) at Brewers (Peralta), 7:10 PM CDT [Brewers win, 4-2]

[ELCABALLO45]

Heck of a job by Big Willy tonight.

[fondybrewfan]

The one mistake aside; that is a pretty darn nice 5th starter

[TURBO]

My guess is Wily is done for the night.

 

What a game, I think this kid is going to stick for years to come, and I like it!

 

I wonder if TT is going to get a rest tonight?

[jjkoestler]

Rock just referred to fans of the Milwaukee Brewers as the best in baseball. I thought that was trademarked.

[SoupTown]

surely you go kinztler and k-rod

[wisniewski]

Hilarious the ump just gave Morris that call but didn't give the same call to Wily in the top half of the inning.

[wisniewski]

Agreed Ricky. I've always been a big fan of Wily and I couldn't be more thrilled with his development.

7.0 IP 4 H 2 R 1 ER 2 BB 4 K 1 HR

Great line from the #5 pitcher.

 

Estrada and Peralta are the real keys to the rotation. Get them to put up "#3 pitcher stats" with consistency, and that bodes well for a good season.

Alvarez career:

vs RHP .247/.318/.485/.804

vs LHP .201/.273/.337/.610

Couldn't agree more.

That's a REALLY nice inning for Henderson. He looked comfortable and confident in what he was throwing.

[ELCABALLO45]

Big Jim!! 1-2-3!

Pedro Alvarez led the league in HRs last year, 36, with a .296 OBP. Who is the only other player to lead the league in HRs with a OBP < .300?

[Oxy]

I'm greedier than you guys. I want Peralta to put up #1 stats this year. The only thing this team lacks is a true ace, and Peralta has the raw stuff to actually get there. If he does, this team goes from competitive to possibly dominant (depending on health of course)

[wisniewski]

I have the PIT feed and they just pointed out that McCutcheon is out of the game.

[wisniewski]

Nice hustle Braunie to beat out the play!

Just curious, were you referring to NL only?

[topper09er]

Wow, love to see a guy take an 89 mph straight fastball for strike 3

[SRB]

Credit to Lucroy on getting the called strike three on Alvarez there.

I didn't count Tony Armas and the non-full 1981 season. But he can get an honorable mention for 1984, 43 HR .300 OBP

[wisniewski]

NICE WIN CREW!!!

[Bombers]

Woohoo! This team is fun
