2019-04-22: Brewers (Houser) at Cardinals (Flaherty) [Brewers lose, 13-5]

[Brew crew 92]

Burnes done for the night. 54 pitches 30 strikes

 

3 ip 1 hit 3 bb 3 ks. Assuming threw more off speed, hence the walks.

 

It seems odd to me that they wouldn't leave him out there for his typical starter's pitch count. He seemed to be pitching just fine.

 

Maybe he threw so many breaking pitches, they protecting his elbow.

Tie Game!!!!

Yea! More dongs!!!!

[sveumrules]

I'm having fun.

[Eye Black]

Give Thames credit for working the walk as well. He proved an important baserunner there.

[HarveysWBs]

Flaherty is getting predictable. And I think Perez needs to start more.

Good things this inning. At least Braun is hitting for power this year.

Probably just saving bullets.

Did Arcia just injure himself on that terrible swing? Woah, that was ugly.

[Brew crew 92]

Just like that....tie ball game!

Let’s be PG here...

Raining in Madison so dish network is out. This is dumb.

[MrTPlush]

Arcia nearly getting hit by a pitch, still swings, and hurts himself (not anything serious).

 

Sounds like something Arcia would do. On most swings.

That is likely. It isn't stoping the conspiracy theorist in me from thinking they might be preparing him for a multi-inning pen role. I want him to remain a starting pitcher, though. That's where he is going to have the most value in the future.

I was just glad he didn't make 2 outs. Sure, nobody was on, but if anyone could find a way to hit into a double play with nobody on it's Arcia...

Ewwww. Where is your mind?

[pacopete4]

Houser looks like just another guy.

[sarcasm]Do we recall Burnes now?[/sarcasm]

[MrTPlush]

I’m waiting for a “Goldy kills us” post.

 

No, our pitching just flat out sucks.

Houser looks like just another guy.

 

I mean, did you really expect anything more?

I guess I’d hope we would pull a rabbit out of a hat somewhere, sometime, with this organization and pitching. I’m on board with firing the pitching coach. Too many of these guys getting hit hard.

Wilkerson is just another guy. Houser is more than that. Good velocity and movement ... way, way too many pitches left right on the heart of the plate. Seems to be happening a lot.

[folly412]

Another meatball, unfortunately. So is Wilkerson up next, or is Gio making a return?

I don't agree with the assessment of Houser being just a guy any more than I would of that assessment of Burnes, Peralta or Woodruff. They all have decent talent but they are all young. The choice remains the same as it was before Houser came up. Are you gong to take the lumps and let the young arms grow up or not?
