2018-08-10: Brewers (Peralta) at Braves (Gausman) 6:35 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 10-1]

[PinaMadness]

Has Peralta been taking pitching lessons from Knebel?

[BruisedCrew]

This could be another 4-5 inning start for Peralta.

 

If he’s lucky.

[jonescm128]

Well their big boy lineup better come to play today

[Boomer5]

It seems impossible to score 3 runs without a HR.

[PinaMadness]

Pina is a hitting machine!!!

[jonescm128]

I swear we are going to put a stretch together where both the pitching and the hitting come together...its bound to happen, right? right?

In 2024 maybe.

[BruisedCrew]

I have a feeling Peralta will be optioned out after this game to bring in another reliever. With the two off days next week they won’t need a fifth starter until the Reds series at MP, and I don’t think I want to see him starting against the Cubs or Cardinals anyway.

[yfinn6]

Peralta's control needs work. I realize he's not trying to nibble and I think with a bit more experience and age his control will come but his long counts and walks and hit batters and every other high pitch at-bat sure are frustrating to watch. He's got good stuff and I think he's going to be a solid pitcher. After yesterday I'm just more critical than normal, too.

[jonescm128]

Walk the pitcher who has 14 career plate appearances over 6 years...ugh Edited August 11, 2018 by jonescm128

Definitely

They are coming together tonight. Just not the way you want.

[Boomer5]

Gausmam was the guy to get. He just looks like a quality pitcher.

[treego14]

Gausman is mixing speeds with very good velocity on his fastball. Throwing strikes consistently on the edges. The Brewers need somebody like him, certainly! He is a big contrast to Peralta tonight.

You might want to see him pitch against another offense before making that conclusion.... The Clown Car Offense can make any pitcher look like Cy Young...

[Lathund]

One thing I'd like to see the Brewers do better is work the count, and even when things aren't going their way at least be a tough out. Seems like the opponents starter always has low pitch counts, as well as relievers who can then go multiple innings. It's a way to knock their starter out even when he's pitching well enough to not get pulled voluntarily. Gotta do better there.

[jonescm128]

LOL Thames...

[PinaMadness]

Thames never had a shot to catch that. He's better served just playing in the AL.

[BruisedCrew]

Mark one on the negative side for the no defense lineup.

[yfinn6]

Turned it off. Yep.. lemme know if I need to turn it back on.

[jason21nl]

Even more fun

[PinaMadness]

Perez and Kratz better start getting into pitching mode.

[jonescm128]

Alright, well...I think I have seen enough. I'll try getting through a whole game tomorrow.

[brewerswinNLcentral]

I would almost pull freddy here and bring in burnes for 2 innings

If we get down 5-0, its probably over tonite

[brewerswinNLcentral]

And its 5-0 with a guy on second.

I smell a 9-3 loss
