2019-03-29: Cardinals (Flaherty) at Brewers (Peralta) [Brewers lose, 9-5 -- Goldschmidt hits 3 HRs]

[wildcat83]

Third basemen shouldn’t be playing 2B and you need a real pitching coach if you have a young staff.

 

Real pitching coach?

 

Pretty early in the year to be on the pitching coach. Especially since he played a role in these young guys getting here.

[PinaMadness]

Wait, the pitching coach's last name is Hook? That's not a good omen.

 

“Here comes the hook.”

Might as well bring in Homer Bailey to shore up the pitching.

[xisxisxis]

well I was wrong... After the Goldschmidt PA I thought it would take 40 pitches for Freddy to get out of the inning...

[Brew crew 92]

Peralta’s Gonna be fine

Just needs to pitch

 

Need laser umps to stop these idiots

It's almost like you're new to this message board...

 

These in-game threads are where people can react to the game in real-time and people - generally - realize it's just emotion and not a well-thought out post. This is literally message board 101 stuff.

Need the offense to pick up Peralta tonight. Even just one run in the 1st Inning would be a good start.

[young guns]

The good news is that last year after rough first innings Peralta usually settled in nicely. Hopefully he just had some nerves and he can settle in for the next...180 innings

Okay, but who is picking up Chase Anderson then?

Chris Hook coached Peralta, Burnes, Woodruff & all our other young pitchers in the minors.

 

Weird how they have all exceeded expectations despite him not being a real pitching coach.

[mtrebs]

Uggh, the fans acted like that routine fly ball was a home run. What are we, the Cubs?

It didn't used to be like this. It has gotten so bad I tend to avoid the in game threads because it is just people bellyaching about stuff that they generally aren't even right about. Gets really old.

[Montezuma]

Close... Yellie is seeing the ball well

Ya nerves and 9 missed calls by little league ump

I see the irony.

It is an IN GAME THREAD for crying out loud.

 

If you want more, this is probably not the place for you.

It’s all the fake fans all hyped for the new season. They get bored eventually until October rolls around.

One time when this was said I went back and looked at a random sample of GTs from the 2006, 2007, 2008 days just to see if that was the case. They are all pretty much the same.

These threads are so easy to skip. If I miss a thread, I've never went back and re-read it, vs other lengthy threads on this board.

 

By the way, this board has become way more unreadable in the last five years. This isn't the place to say it, but when I joined about 12 years ago, the quality of discussion was way superior. It is what it is. The in-game threads are a microcosm of that.

[Montezuma]

Nothing wrong with being passionate and offering our unique color commentary. The key is "colorful"

[sarcasm]Thought Braun worked on his launch angle?[/sarcasm]

I wonder if posts like this have anything to do with that?

Just seem calmer when we suck. Only the diehards hang around in crappy years and those people usually just want to talk baseball.

[Brew crew 92]

They can have flaherty. I’ll take woody and Burnes, who each have better stuff than him and just as good of command.

[sveumrules]

Wish they would have traded him the offseason...

 

Honestly one of my most disliked Brewers pitchers to watch in a long time...

 

Wait...what?

 

Another borderline pitch not going Peraltas way.

 

Yea...

Dude has 1 pitch. And ooooooo he has a sneaky delivery... gimme a break!

 

Will never be a top 2 guy in a good rotation.

 

The only pitchers we've had in my lifetime that would be a top 2 guy in a good rotation are Higuera & Sheets.

 

If that is the standard you hold Brewer pitching prospects to you will be disappointed more often than not.

[Eye Black]

The good news from the bottom half of the inning is the Brewers were getting the bat on Flaherty. Hopefully Freddy can settle in and the Brewers can put up a few on the board versus Flaherty. Having the Brewers comeback from being down 3-0 two days in a row would be a heck of a way to start the season.
