2019-04-03: Brewers (Peralta) at Reds (Castillo) [Brewers win, 1-0 -- Peralta pitches a gem ~ 8.0 IP, 2 H, 0 BB, 11 K]

[shanedog19]

Is Hader definitely down today? I bet it will be awfully tempting for Counsell to bring him in for the 9th if this stays 1-0.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Anyone want to take a stab guessing the last two pitchers to throw CGSO for the Brewers? They did it the same season (one did it twice that year).

 

I'd guess Sheets and Sabathia. Last CG I'm pretty sure was Nelson, Father's Day 2017. CGSO I have no idea.

[Harold Hutchison]

I have always gotten the jist Arcia thinks his defense is just going to carry him on an MLB roster as long as he wishes. I don't know, all last year and to start the year he doesn't really look like a guy who is sporting a .550 OPS.

 

You would have think that getting demoted to AAA would have gotten the message through to him.

 

It's mind-boggling to me that a 24 year old who had a .576 OPS last year and is rosterable on an MLB team only because of his defense would risk his entire way of life by not hustling.

 

Someday he might get sent down to AAA and never make it back up. What he has could be taken away at any time and he doesn't seem to get it.

 

Yeah... it may be time to sell Arcia high.

[wildcat2237]

Also, this fanbase is going to LOVE Ben Gamel by the end of this year. He's Russell Branyan, Brady Clark, Keith Ginter and and Nate Orf all rolled up into a shaggy one.

 

This made my day, thanks!

 

P.S. You left off Trent Durrington!

[gebc1997]

Could be just the randomness of baseball at times, but you wonder if maybe Counsell will consider Pina to be Peraltas personal catcher.

This would be the complete opposite of selling a player high.

[Harold Hutchison]

Yeah... it may be time to sell Arcia high.

 

This would be the complete opposite of selling a player high.

 

He's still not that far removed from a monster post-season.

 

If he has a very long slump...

 

Right now, it's a relative high.

 

The good news: Freddy Peralta has saved the bullpen today.

[brewcrewdue80]

Who will pitch the 9th, you can't have Freddy go over that 110 pitch today this early in season. I look forward to this answer.

[trwi7]

The answer to MrTPlush's question is Matt Garza (7/5/14) and Kyle Lohse (6/1/14 and 9/24/14).

[MrTPlush]

Yeah... it may be time to sell Arcia high.

 

This would be the complete opposite of selling a player high.

 

He's still not that far removed from a monster post-season..

 

All this statement makes me think of is Jeff Suppan.

 

And that isn't a good thing.

[topper09er]

I'm pretty sure Gallardo had one where he also scored the only run of the game, maybe back in 2011ish time..not sure. I dont think Grienke had one for us but he did have the game where he allowed 0 R in 9IP but was removed for extras I believe. So Ill say Gallardo and Wolf?

[HarveysWBs]

He's had a great outing. But the bullpen isn't saved yet. They'll need to pitch at least the ninth, and extras are a serious possibility here.

[Brew crew 92]

Been almost 2 hrs since peralta’s pitched out of the stretch.

[adambr2]

Really nobody gives up big value based on a good postseason anymore. GMs are smarter than that these days

 

I don't know what Arcia's value is these days but I know it's not close to when he was a top 10 prospect in baseball.

[wildcat2237]

This would be the complete opposite of selling a player high.

 

 

Exactly. After his 2019 I doubt he has much value. I'm sure they could get something, but not much. Certainly not selling high.

[HarveysWBs]

I like how Freddy is still ramping it up to 95 mph as he nears 100 pitches. Ah, the glory of youth.

[brewcrewdue80]

Game Day last 5 pitches 4 seam FB- 91,92,93,94,95

#6 96 not fully sure I like that overthrowing try hard.

[Ennder]

Peralta catching a lot of the plate here, playing with fire.

[HarveysWBs]

Game Day last 5 pitches 4 seam FB- 91,92,93,94,95

 

And 96!

[OldSchoolSnapper]

If it's not Freddy I'm guessing Albers. He's looked good and hasn't pitched since Sunday.

[trwi7]

Alex Wilson is warming up.

[trwi7]

lol Puig had no chance on that curve.

I am still angry about this one because he should have been sent out for the 10th. I don't remember the exact historical significance, but that would have been one heck of a rare feat in today's game. He was only at 100 pitches.

[brewcrewdue80]

OMG YES Freddy. I kept thinking to myself, any curve ball near the plate would strike Puig out right now and HE THREW ONE!!

[adambr2]

Tough not to be tempted to send him back out there at 100 for a CG shot, but you can't. He was starting to catch too much of the plate and you have no margin.
