2014-08-29 Brewers (Peralta) at Giants (Vogelsong), 9:15 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 13-2]

[folly412]

3 runs might be doable. But as Peralta is well short of 100 pitches, he will be left in as the lead becomes insurmountable. Even though there was an off day yesterday and even though we can activate Garza and add Wooten, Figaro, Pena, Blazek, and Wang on Monday.

My worst nad reaming:

 

When I was in middle school, I had a core of about 4-5 real good friends. One of them had a cottage on Lake Michigan and once a summer for a few years, his family invited all the kids to go up for a sleep over during a weekend. We had lots of innocent kid fun - it was a good time to be had by one and all.

 

There was a swingset on the property. One day, for whatever reason, the guys decided to prank me. The prank? They each took one of my limbs, carried me to the swingset, and positioned my crotch against a pole. Then they pulled. And pulled some more. Then they dropped me and left me for dead.

 

Yes, they were my friends. And yes, despite the pain, it was funny and we still had a good time.

[dlk9s]

Well, we got one back. I'll take it.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Well......jeez, I can't complain about 2 productive ground ball outs after a lead off double. Got one back at least.

[Lee16]

Oh no, we suck again.

[DuWayne Steurer]

GOod deal. Clear the pitcher's spot.

In middle school it became "cool" for girls to randomly knee guys in the nuts. Yep. In front of teachers this happened, and no one ever got punished. Until one of my friends immediately hurled all over a girl who did this to him.... from the pain.

 

He got suspended for 2 days from school.

 

Lets just say his parents hired a lawyer the next day.

Just noticed Wang's start for Brevard County Wednesday wasn't half bad: 7.2 IP, 7 H, 0 BB, 2 ER, 8 K

 

And the first part stands - Peralta is lost tonight, roll the dice with Estrada and give the team some chance to win.

[trwi7]

I know you want your starters going as long as possible but he needs to get Peralta out soon. He's awful right now and the game is still manageable. When you consider the off day yesterday and rosters expanding on Monday, there's no reason to try to get innings at the expense of throwing in the towel on this game.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Leave him in there Ron, he's doing great!

Pantsing was the big fad when I was in middle school.

[brewmann04]

If the Pitching starts to stink this team is doomed . Have a good Feeling we have a new NLC Leader by Labor day.

[DocLuna7]

I do not want this game to be over in the 2nd. C'mon RR, Wily clearly doesn't have it to night.

[trwi7]

Let me guess, nobody warming up in the pen.

[stoutdude04]

Estrada was up in the first.

[folly412]

Let me guess, nobody warming up in the pen.

 

Estrada is ready. Peralta needs 48 more pitches according to Managing Baseball: A Beginner's Guide.

[trwi7]

40 more pitches. At least he'll reach that in the 3rd inning so we'll have 6 more to come back.

[TGOTJ]

Wily just doesn't look comfortable on the mound. He looks off balance a lot on his follow through.

[lcbj68c]

Just got in and turned on the tube. 8 hits in 2 innings. Wonderful, just wonderful!

Thats "sexual assault" these days... sigh

[yfinn6]

Wily seems to have mentally lost it.

[Lee16]

At this point, just let Wily pitch until his arm falls off tonight.

[chickinbrickin]

Must have starters get to 100 pitches. Cannot go to the pen before that. If i do that my brain will explode.

 

RRR logic

[The stache]

Why the hell after Peralta gave up 5 runs in the first two innings did RRR send him back out for a third? So we could lower the small chance that we could come back even more?

 

Peralta has had two terrible outings in a row. But just keep sending him out there, Ron.

Oh, and our offense has become completely useless.
