2018-06-26: Royals (Junis) at Brewers (Peralta) 7:10 PM CDT [Brewers win, 5-1; Peralta home debut - 7 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 10 K]

Looks like Hader and Aguilar are now locks for the All Star Game.

 

Being a no-name first baseman it is nearly impossible to be a lock.

 

Outside of that Fangraphs has him as the #7 first baseman...in the NL. Right behind him is a well know name Bellinger. I’d have to say he is quite far from a lock...maybe even on the outside looking in.

 

How many 1B even typically make it? Freeman, Votto, and Goldy are all no-brainers over Aguilar. Belt also likely easily over Aguilar.

[MrTPlush]

Jennings has been a pile of trash for a good month now.

Yeah I’d say Agauilar might get put on that last vote in thing.

Goldy is not a lock at all. He was hitting .200 until a couple weeks ago. The Brewers have the best record in the National League. They shouldn't just be represeted by the minimum one player. Dave Roberts should be able to recognize what's going on.

[jason21nl]

Jennings has been pretty eh lately

[PinaMadness]

Jennings being Jennings.

[bigredrobbo]

Since when has the All-Star game been about performance? It's a popularity dealie, and deserving players miss out every year.

[pacopete4]

I think we could see a lot of what happened tonight. Miller starts at SS, we hopefully get a lead and let Arcia finish it off with good defense.

[Roderick]

Jennings has been a pile of trash for a good month now.

 

Yes Jennings is making it very easy to figure out who goes when Davies and Miley come back

[markedman5]

Now this is impressive

Yah seems he hasn’t turned into the long man garbage time pitcher...so he is likely on his way out.

[kybrewerfan]

Arcia.....will he get an extra base hit!!?!?!

[igor67]

3 starts without giving up a run as a starter out of 4 is pretty good. More then 1K per inning in each start. 2 starts with 10Ks or more... Easily has to be one of the best starts to a career of any Brewer pitcher.

[phnxcrew]

Oooof. Arcia and a .488 OPS. How would that rank if he were a pitcher? Middle of the pack?

[markedman5]

Cards getting hot......beating Klueber 6-2

[Eye Black]

I am not saying it is the wrong move, but having to use Hader in this game is disappointing.

[kybrewerfan]

Barnes had 1 job......and he failed

[jerichoholicninja]

Just glad he didn't go to Knebel because it's a save situation now.

[LouisEly]

I don't agree, but Hader hasn't pitched in four days.

 

I'd hardly say that Barnes failed considering he hasn't given up a run yet.

[markedman5]

Yeah it's disappointing but he's warm and hasn't pitched in 3 days so not the worst thing in the world .

[MrTPlush]

2 pitches, completely nothing appearance I’d guess. Won’t effect his usage coming up if need be.

[Roderick]

I don't agree, but Hader hasn't pitched in four days.

Barnes failed when he walked Duda when that is the last thing you should do.

[TURBO]

Is Peralta the Ace we have been longing for?

 

Geeez, what a studly performance.....AGAIN!

Yep that's why Counsell pulled him good for him.

[TURBO]

There is just no way we can give Peralta up in a trade at this point, not for Machado, not for Syndergaard, not for anyone unless we get more pieces that can help us.
