2019 Spring Training In-Game Thread

These Angels announcers are 95% of why some people think baseball is boring.

When Peralta gets the ball over the plate he’s the most unhittable starting pitcher in baseball.

[Brew crew 92]

Peralta going nowhere except straight to the big league rotation and staying there. Goodness gracious what potential!

[CrewFanBrewMan69]

Peralta’s line today is one of the oddest box score/stat line’s I’ve ever seen. He appeared to be absolutely lights out with the Kd but also gave up a bunch of hits/BB.

[Lathund]

He was mostly lights out, was a couple of LHB he seemed to lose his control against and walked. Other than that he was hurt by a WP strikeout and two fly balls that the OFs lost in the sun.

Two of his hits were a seeing eye grounder and a fly ball that Ray lost in the sun. In fact that homer he gave up to Bour should've been a solo shot instead of 3-run. First batter reached on a strikeout that Kratz let get to the backstop, the second was the fly ball Ray didn't see so instead of pitching to Bour with two outs and nobody on he was pitching to him with two on and nobody out.

So bad. And their attempt to analyze the Brewers minor system was embarrassing.

Brandon Woodruff dealing again, with 5 Ks though two innings. He has to be in the rotation, right?

Absolutely foolish if he's not.

I guess an ace trumps a shutdown pen arm.

[brewmann04]

He has to have a spot in the 5 man rotation.

Nelson pitches a 1-2-3 inning, touching 95 on the gun according to McCalvy. That is pretty dang promising news. At this point, there's no reason we wouldn't see Nelson by mid-April.

[Lathund]

Pitchers had been waiting for this the (first?) day without the DH. Corbin Burnes singles, walks and scores a run. Adrian Houser hits a 2-run HR.

 

And great to see Jimmy with 2 solid scoreless innings. Hasn't walked a batter yet.

[Brew crew 92]

Good news on the 95. Assuming he can up

It a couple ticks building up his arm strength.

He typically sat at 95 in 2017, with the ability to dial it up to 97 on occasion. Great to see him there in mid-March.

[Lathund]

Jimmy wasn't done, went out there for the 9th. Three more Ks, one hit that comes around to score on an error.

Well, that should calm some fears a bit. Long season, and a lot can happen, but so far, so good.

[Brew crew 92]

Even tho he pitched to scrubs plus Murphy, like the no walks and 4 ks

Negative nellies gonna still be vocal with lot to overcome cause it’s “the shoulder”and even if he’s healthy 2017 an “outlier” talk till it’s not.

I wouldn't say its so much being negative, as we've kinda been conditioned as long-time Brewer fans to expect the worst with it comes to player health.

[Brew crew 92]

Your being awfully kind, but ok I’ll buy the longtime brewer fan conditioned to expect the worst excuse. Time to turn the page, it’s a new era of brewer baseball! In Stearns we trust!

I've said previously I think Nelson is capable of 25 GS, 140 IP & a 110 ERA+ in 2019. That would easily be the 2nd best season of his career & is better than any of the publicly available projections for Jimmy.

 

I'd say that makes me more of an optimistic ollie or realistic ricky than it makes me a negative nelly.

 

Hopefully six months from now Jimmy's 2017 will no longer be an outlier, but until then, by definition, it is.

The difference is some people understand it isn't a given that he is just 100% rebound instantly with no setbacks of any type.

 

Nobody has said Nelson can't have a great season, you just can't assume that it is the only result, it make no sense to do that.

[Brew crew 92]

Don’t think he hurt himself with his performance today.

Zero gopher balls givin-up, so that’s a positive!

[markedman5]

Woodruff gave up a 2 run homer to Machado in the first......has been dominant since then.....2 hits and just the 2 runs through 4 2/3 ...7 Ks 1 walk.
