2018-07-11: Brewers (Peralta) at Marlins (Straily) 6:10 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 5-4 in 12 innings]

[82brewcrew82]

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.

 

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.

That and the line for the pitchers is razor thin because of the offense. That plus a pennant chase and you have a lot of pressure on a pitcher that probably should still be in AAA.

[82brewcrew82]

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

Except he threw more pitches than any other start (IIRC)...

He's been over 90 in just about every start and 98 or better four times. Sometimes he gets to six or seven innings, sometimes not. Either way, he has some work to do with consistency.

[markedman5]

Good work by Barnes.

 

Offense needs to get going

[jjfanec]

Can Barnes go out for another inning? He has looked good and could really save the bullpen

Only 14 pitches so maybe.

[82brewcrew82]

Cleveland has put up 17 runs in four innings vs the Reds. It could be worse I guess.

Debbie Downer Alert: Last two times we've had 4 all-stars we collapsed in the second half

[adambr2]

And now that the Marlins have the lead we can't touch Straily.

[BuckyBrewer61]

Need to hurry up and score before Craig puts in our worst reliever (Lopez?).

 

And for the record, I dont disagree with his strategy of not pitching Hader/JJ/Knebel when we are losing

[82brewcrew82]

And now that the Marlins have the lead we can't touch Straily.

He's probably done though.

Probably not enough

Guess we have to get Jeffress in as well

[markedman5]

Really haven't done many things well in this series......

[82brewcrew82]

For cripes sake.

[shanedog19]

Would be a huge buzzkill to lose this game after the Aguilar news. We have not played well overall this series.

[phnxcrew]

Shaw has left a lot to be desired. Lots of errors lately and a couple solo shots.

[mtrebs]

This game has a Brewers loss written all over it. Will be a very disappointing series if this is the case.

[adambr2]

For as "sure handed" as i always hear that Travis Shaw is, he sure does appear clumsy at times.

All of a sudden the field turned into a slip n slide.

[burnzy24]

Shaw now already has as many errors as he had all last year.

[adambr2]

I wish the 6-9 in our lineup hit like this.

[phnxcrew]

Great time to drop a series to the worst team in the NL through what seems to be a lack of concentration and energy.

[Fear The Chorizo]

Tonight is apparently 'leave a pitcher in way past their curfew night' for CC...

[brewmann04]

this is bad were we struggle against bad team like florida
