[Eye Black]

A fun pitching matchup today with Freddy Peralta going up against Fernando Romero. Both are 6ft (or slightly shorter) right handed rookie hurlers from the Dominican Republic. Romero was considered a top-100 prospect entering the season. Both have come out of the gate strong in their first MLB appearances.

[liveforoctober]

Romero has been great... but he hasn't faced Ji-Man Choi yet in his career. He is about to get a big welcome to major league hitting tonight courtesy of our Korean Krusher.

Wife and kids gone all weekend. I was productive all day, but now grilled some wings, made creamed asparagus over mashed potatoes, and am eating in my living room and watching Brewers baseball. Life is good.

 

Hopefully a good game or I may have to wander to a local establishment to stay entertained, and I do not make good decisions when unsupervised.....

[adambr2]

"Let's....not get carried away. It was only our first offer."

[stoutdude04]

Tough break for Yelich. On a different day that's gone.

[adambr2]

1 run without a hit. I'll take it!

[adambr2]

Settle down, Freddy.

[adambr2]

Love watching Peralta, but he got a little lucky that inning. He's got to get his control at least somewhat in check if he's going to stay up now.

[stoutdude04]

G man...robbed by the wind as well. Bummer.

[adambr2]

Ugh. Yelich and Choi just robbed.

[adambr2]

Freddy has got to start throwing strikes.

[YelichPosse]

Freddy does need to get his command tightened up tonight. But is it just me or is Rock super negative about Peralta...

[pacopete4]

Gonna need that pen early tonight.

[bigredrobbo]

Brent's sterling work last night to save the pen a couple innings might be needed tonight!

[adambr2]

Had the #9 guy 0-2 to get out of it and couldn't. Really wish they had tried the hook at least once.

 

Also was surprised they overturned the double play, looked like a tie if anything to me which would revert to the original call.

[markedman5]

I think Rock is just surprised that he gets so many strike outs with a low 90s fastball.

 

Solebidy shoukd send him the fangraphs article.

 

Peralta looking far more mortal tonight.......got to throw strikes at this level and use your off speed pitch more often.

[wildcat83]

Walks are very frustrating, and even more so when the pitcher has good stuff. Some pitchers need to nibble, Peralta does not.

[adambr2]

Rock: "Good work by Ji Man Choi. Used those 17 inches."

[xisxisxis]

I think Rock is just surprised that he gets so many strike outs with a low 90s fastball.

 

I think that implies higher order thinking by Rock, which runs counter to almost everything he says...

[adambr2]

Wind has seemingly knocked every single thing down besides Wilson's 2 RBI double.

[82brewcrew82]

That's better kid.

[YelichPosse]

Peralta couldn’t sustain his first game pace of course. But I will say that curve is nice I wish he went to that vs Wilson.

 

Rock not saying much now that Freddy is back on that inning ... he irks me guys , sorry, always has lol .

[adambr2]

Now that was more like first game Freddy.

[markedman5]

That's more like it......use the curve ball....makes the fastball more effective.

 

Let's get some hits!
