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]

[Ennder]

I would have let him come out if he didn't throw 20 pitches to Puig. Just seemed like the good stopping point.

 

Definitely agree on this. If he had gotten the catcher out that is a completely different scenario and I'd be fine going with him.

[tmwiese55]

Probably would've bet a 1000 dollars on the leadoff walk happening.

[adambr2]

Big strikeout. Gotta get through Votto.

[adambr2]

That first pitch to Votto was better than the previous 2-1 pitch.

[mattyo]

Pina's framing has been atrocious today.

[HarveysWBs]

For those lucky ones actually watching the game live (as opposed to Gameday), has the strike zone looked a little tight all game?

[MrTPlush]

Pina's framing has been atrocious today.

 

They must not practice framing skills all winter because Grandal and Pina have both be sloppy in that department.

[Brew crew 92]

This performance not withstanding, great pickup by stearns & co this Wilson. Good experience late in games.

[adambr2]

Wilson's pre-pitch delivery makes it look like he's shaking and terrified to be in this closing situation.

[Underachiever]

Nice to get by Votto.

There have been a couple high strikes that were called ball, but overall I wouldn't say so. If anything it has been a wide zone. I'd argue Peralta has benefited more from it than the Reds pitchers, but that may also be thanks to Manuel Pineapple.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Grandal has no experience framing for our guys and Pina has none with new pitchers. There's been ST but nothing like these situations.

Thanks!

[adambr2]

Ughhhhh.

Go against the book, walk Suarez

*grabs paper bag and inhaler*

[adambr2]

Pitch 1 to Suarez was a strike.

[Ennder]

This ump is just awful at calling balls and strikes. Strike zone is all over the place batter to batter. Edited April 3, 2019 by Ennder

Put the winning run in scoring position?

[MrTPlush]

All umps are just awful at calling balls and strikes.

 

Fixed

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Chalk up another 1-run victory!

[MrTPlush]

At the end of the season we are going to look back and see when we went 9-1( ) to start the season...the biggest bag of random results in the win/loss column across baseball as teams/players settle in.

Yes. I want Schebler. But that worked too!

[Harold Hutchison]

6-3 forceout to end the game.

 

That ninth was a little more exciting than I'd have liked it to be.
