Well that turned quickly

No it didn't. He wasn't great from the start, it just took them a few innings to cash in.

but it's not like every guy suddenly forgot every piece of advice he gave

You really need to go get him before he walks the pitcher for a run.

 

Or just let him do it Craig, whatever.

If he is an untouchable prospect the minimum expectation is that he should be able to throw strikes to the opposing pitcher.

I can't think of someone I like less here than Barnes. Prone to walks himself, and usually gas on a fire when brought in with runners on. Hope I'm wrong.

Peralta earn that walk, but the umpire was not giving him any favors either. That third strike to Nottingham was way further off the plate than a couple of those pitches

Oh how this can get ugly really quickly here...

 

I have no faith in Barnes, prove me wrong here please!

We kind of tend to overrate the heck out of Peralta here as a prospect.

 

His numbers are fantastic but we've churned out lots of guys who put up elite numbers for 8-10 starts before the league catches up to them (Fiers, Jungmann, just to name two).

 

Peralta could end up being the real deal but we have really jumped the gun on him acting as though he's a top 50 prospect value now.

Not an ideal start in this stretch of games. Going to need some BP guys to eat up multiple tonight and maybe shuffle one down tomorrow.

Agreed, the kid has some work to do.

For me it’s not that I know he will be the next ace of the Brewers but he could be. He has a shot to be a very good pitcher. I’ll take the chance and so he needs to stay a Brewer. We always want young controlled arms but when they come up and pitch for us, a lot of fans hate it. I don’t understand.
"This is a very simple game. You throw the ball, you catch the ball, you hit the ball. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it rains." Think about that for a while.

Well that's one way to limit Peralta's innings.

I agree with all of that.

It's the dilemma of patience with young arms versus the position that we're in where we want to make the playoffs and win now.

 

Woodruff has probably the same or better upside as Peralta, but we're not willing to be patient enough to give him the whole year in the MLB rotation and leave him alone. If it was 2016, we probably would.

Barnes' OPS-A this year is .709 - not terrible but not great. His BABIP this year is .350, and over the last seven days his BABIP is a ridiculous .857 (yes, BABIP), suggesting some bad luck and a likely positive progression in the future.
