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

[PinaMadness]

And its 5-0 with a guy on second.

I smell a 9-3 loss

Really? Three runs?

[brewerswinNLcentral]

They may as well keep freddy in there now and let him pitch thru the 5th.

Why waste the bullpen now

[mtrebs]

After yesterday I said to myself I’m going to hold off watching until the Brewers can figure out how to add more wins than losses for a while. I peeked at the score online and then decided to come read the comments here. I guess it will be a while before I can make myself watch again. I wonder if it will even be this year.

[brewerswinNLcentral]

Yep, it's like the padres taking it to us.

They have literally no pressure on them.

Just play hard and avoid huge mistakes.

We might get 3-4 runs. it's not that hard to believe

[Boomer5]

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

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...

 

You’re quickly becoming my favorite poster. Clown car offense lol.

 

I thought this was our “Big Boy” lineup?

He could never by my favorite poster because of the offensive use of the ellipsis.

This is a huge series with a fellow wild card contender. It's imperative to take at least two this weekend. Let's just hope a game like yesterday isn't a springboard to another late summer freefall.

Still hoping. And hoping.

I just turned on Netflix to take a deep breath.

It says "stripes" is a 98% match to my preferences.

THAT is pretty accurate. lol

[Eye Black]

That hopeless feeling that permeated the pre-All Star break losing streak is starting to creep in.

If you like comedies, you'll love this game. And this team.

Peralta is much too inconsistent to just pencil him in to the 2019 starting rotation.

[mtsportsfan]

I know that I keep ragging on him , but Thames is just killing me. No way does he belong in the outfield. His bat just doesn't make up for it. I know he has power in his bat, but homeruns aren't everything. Too many .240 and below hitters in this lineup. Down 7 zip . No confidence in this lineup. Hope I'm wrong.

[brewerswinNLcentral]

wow, I did not miss much.

Let sparky lyle pitch 2-3 innings and then let knebel in for 2 innings to work on his curveball.

[Eye Black]

In the past eight days the Brewers have had games in which they have given up 21 runs, 11 runs, 8 runs, and whatever tonight’s run total ends up being (currently 7 and counting).

This is your first ever post.

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.

It's amazing to me that Peralta has been as productive as he has been given all of the walks he issues, how often he's behind in the count, and that he throws just his fastball such a high percentage of the time.

 

It was likely only a matter of when more of those walked batters started to come around and score once Freddy was unable to keep his hits per innings pitched to numbers which weren't realistic to stay so low.

[brewers888]

The strengths of this team were team defense and the bullpen. The bullpen has now fallen apart due to overuse and the defense isn't any good because we decided to bench Arcia and play Schoop, Shaw, and Thames out of position. I wouldn't be surprised at all to see this team finish in 4th place.

[brewerswinNLcentral]

After the last 4 days, I kinda wish this was MY first post......

[mtsportsfan]

Yeah, been lurking around for a couple of years . Die hard fan of the crew since 73. Thames finally put me over the edge to finally post

[DuWayne Steurer]

chipper jones retired and immediately turned into an old man.

[brewers888]

Trading for Moustakas and Schoop were Melvinesque. I was happy knowing that Stearns valued defense and OBP but he made a big mistake abandoning it for slugging and nothing else.

[Lathund]

10 pitches per inning... if we lose, we lose, but at least make him work a little for it.

Although it's still early into the Moose/Shoop era, these moves aren't looking like they are going to get them over the .500 hump this team has been for the past 2.5 months. The only thing these trades are going to accomplish is losing a couple high ranked prospects.

 

It's not easy being a Brewers fan.

We aren't going to make the playoffs, are we?
