2014-08-12 Brewers (Peralta) at Cubs (Hendricks), 7:05 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 3-0]

[bm1090]

To state the obvious, Peralta has nothing thus far.

Is it just me, or does Gomez seem a step slower this year?

 

Not just the SB attempt there, but plenty of slow grounders that I see guys like Dee Gordon beating out and Gomez just doesn't seem to have the box to 1st speed that we saw in the past.

 

Maybe it's just me. I think it's just I have always known him as one of the fastest in the game and he just seems merely "fast" this year, not one of the fastest.

Uecker in the TV booth thank God

I've thought so as well. He looks as fast as ever in the outfield, but slower on the basepaths for some reason.

[WinkelsasVsSoriano]

Well, looks like the Brewers are gonna have trouble scoring runs again today. I thought Arrieta at least looked a bit hittable yesterday. Hendricks is just mowing the Brewers down with ease so far. The Crew are helping by swinging at some bad pitches, but Hendricks looks on his game.

 

Edit: And he's only at 45 pitches. Could easily throw a CG at this pace. Need to work some counts.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Keep playing infield in Ron. It is definitely helping.

[jason21nl]

4th inning....infield in. Go away RR

[WinkelsasVsSoriano]

Need to put that in the dirt, Wily. Not a good 0-2 pitch (it was low at least, but too far inside, and pretty much in the wheelhouse of most lefties.)

[AZBrewCrew]

Of course Cy Hendrix is gonna beat us tonight

[folly412]

No scar under the eye on the Segura bobblehead?

[phnxcrew]

It's really quite amazing we have still been winning games with how pathetic the offense has been. It looks like we exchanged lineups with the padres

[bm1090]

Have no issue with the bringing the infield in already down a run, especially towards the bottom of the order. A RBI groundout is still a run scored.

 

The 2nd inning made no sense, however.

[WinkelsasVsSoriano]

Patient AB leads to a walk. Would be nice to see a bit ore of that...

 

Come on, Mark!

[DuWayne Steurer]

Utterly predictable Jean.

[jason21nl]

Perhaps Segura should try something different

[WinkelsasVsSoriano]

Ugh. 2-0 pitch right down the middle... DP.

[wildcat83]

Would've been nice to clear the pitcher at least.

[folly412]

Segura with a weak grounder to short? There's a shock.

[Bombers]

Perhaps Segura should try something different

Ya. Like go to Nashville. I know that's harsh. His D is good. But he is just atrocious at the plate

[trwi7]

Was hoping Segura would attempt a bunt. It's sad that I'd rather have the pitcher bat there.

It's not that harsh. The Brewers sent down Hardy when he was hitting a similar average but at least with some power. And that wasn't during a pennant race. He's lucky we don't have a replacement better than Herrera.

Can we send him to the Arizona Fall League like we did with Hardy? I suppose the Dominican fall/winter league may be an option.

I know this sounds bad, but I'd rather see Herrera up there getting some PA's right now.

[WinkelsasVsSoriano]

This game is feeling a bit shutout-y. Please prove me wrong and score 20 runs.

[brewmann04]

wht about this Gomez guy in Nashville
