2014-06-16 Brewers (Peralta) at Diamondbacks (McCarthy), 8:40 PM CDT [Brewers win, 9-3]

Good job, Herrera. Only took 1 inning for your inexperience to show; just really happy that he's on the MLB roster.

 

I'd blame this more on Melvin for having a utility infielder being your only backup outfielder on your 25 man roster.

Absolutely in agreement. We know how much Melvin likes his middle infielders.

 

OK, Scooter tee'ed off on that one, and did anyone else hear that fan heckling Braun during Scooter's at-bat?

[bylo tesi me]

Scooter power !!

[LouisEly]

You think that if you were going to give Gomez a day off you'd do it BEFORE you send Schafer down to the minors.

[wildcat83]

Deep breaths... Herrera made a bad decision. That's more inexperience than ability. Willy could still end up with a quality start, he's been good enough this year to be allowed a little longer leash before I dive head first off the bandwagon.

[dlk9s]

Butterfly effect: I wrote-in Scooter on the All-Star ballot in Atlanta and a minute later he hits a home run in Arizona.

[trwi7]

Another out on the bases. Yawn.

[Bombers]

I would prefer to have Schafer on the team than Herrera. Schafer is a good outfielder and I like good defense. Great job RJG. Keep the hater's hatin. .298 AVG / .335 OBP / .437 SLG / .772 OPS

 

His career has 133 games with 457 AB - .310 AVG / .345 OBP / .458 / .802 OPS

 

When does "small sample" no longer apply?

[yfinn6]

Well, there goes that rally.

[DuWayne Steurer]

there's nobody out. Don't have to run until you know if it's going to fall. If that ball falls, you score even if you're standing on 2nd.

 

This team sucks at baserunning.

[dlk9s]

I think the Brewers players should start making sure balls drop in the outfield.

[jason21nl]

Some pathetic base running.

[Bombers]

What was Braun thinking? There were no outs - way to go Braun.

[brwrsfan]

The stupid baseball the Brewers are playing is really irritating. Just bad, bad baserunning. We've also crushed two balls in this game that turned into DP's. That's really annoying.

[dlk9s]

Well, I guess that would've been DP, anyway.

[swheeler23]

he should have waited but last week when he stopped and waited and didn't end up scoring people were complaining that he was hustling.

[markedman5]

You think that if you were going to give Gomez a day off you'd do it BEFORE you send Schafer down to the minors.

 

Gomez has a sore hamstring...they didn't just decide to give him a day off

[DuWayne Steurer]

Nice grab.

[yfinn6]

Good catch there.

[bylo tesi me]

Nice catch Herrera.

 

Another nice catch. Clearly no one wants Herrera playing CF everyday. but nice to see him redeem himself a little this inning.

[yfinn6]

Both of these teams are squaring the ball up. Not sure I can remember a game where both teams hit the ball this hard this consistently.

[wildcat83]

Goldschmidt handled the really delayed strike three call better than most.

[brwrsfan]

Alright, time to take the lead here.

[brwrsfan]

Going back to the 7th inning yesterday, that's 4 balls just absolutely smoked by the Brewers that have turned into double plays. That's pretty frustrating. Hopefully Peralta can get through one more inning, pitch count around 90 already.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Wily really settled in and threw a solid game after a rocky first 2 innings.
