2019-05-07: Nationals (Strasburg) at Brewers (Houser) [Brewers win, 6-0 -- All 6 runs scored in the 7th inning]

[stoutdude04]

Strasburg seems like he has some good stuff tonight.

 

And a huge zone...could be a tough night for the crew.

 

At least it's both ways.

 

True.

[AKCheesehead]

Harper just grand slammed the cards so there's that.

[Zad Fnark]

Seeing him better 2nd time thru.

[Eye Black]

Gamel tough to retire, even when he hits it right at someone.

Weird things happen when Gamel makes contact.

 

His hits have eaten souls so far this series.

 

Gamel sort of epitomizes the theory of “put it in play and good things will happen”.

[TJseven7]

Hiura watch... 1-1 single hitting a mere .355

[Brew crew 92]

Preparing Freddy for bullpen work.

[Brew crew 92]

Sure glad we didn’t sign dozier, second terrible year in a row.

[jason21nl]

Peralta has the fastest 92 ever right now

[liveforoctober]

Hiura is going to force a decision in the not so distant future. Either Thames is moved and Moose goes to 3rd and Shaw becomes the LHB platoon with Aguilar and backup at 3B or??

[TJseven7]

Strange happenstance.

 

Corey Ray just hit a single to Lewis Brinson.

 

Brinson is hitting .158 in AAA

Peralta has the fastest 92 ever right now

I'm sure it's been calculated somewhere, but I wonder what the equivalent speed is for the reaction time on his fastball given that he has such a long release point. Shorten the distance between the mound and home, and the reaction time shrinks.

[TJseven7]

Hiura watch... Ks swinging. 1st K in the last 6 games. Alas, he is not ready .blue

[RollieTime]

I thought I saw somewhere that after last night, Shaw has the lowest average in either the NL or in all of baseball so far this season. I see after Aguilar’s first out in the game, they were both down to .174... Pretty remarkable how we could have the two worst hitters in the league who were both expected to be important middle of the order bats, but here we are sitting at 21-16. Those two really need to start producing.

[TJseven7]

And Peralta has dropped his ERA 1.01 so far tonight. Keep it up.

 

I forgot it was Peralta when I saw the swing. Nice hit.

[LouisEly]

And Peralta has dropped his ERA 1.01 so far tonight. Keep it up.

And upped his batting average to .250

[adambr2]

Is it just me or does Cain swing at a ton of Ball 4s?

 

Too bad...would have had Yelich up with 1 out and 2 on. Instead, inning over.

[jason21nl]

Fastball is electric tonight

[PinaMadness]

Sure glad we didn’t sign dozier, second terrible year in a row.

Meanwhile, that bum Schoop is having a solid year for the Twins. Go figure.

I got home well after Houser was well out of the ballgame. For those of you who actually watched the first couple innings, what was your opinion of Houser. Bullpen keeper for the rest of 2019? I haven't seen one of his appearances this year, but was encouraged by what I saw of him last year.

[TURBO]

Geez Arcia... That was a complete dufus move.

[TURBO]

Lepay has grown on me, I'm a little sour on BA for ditching us for the NBA.

 

As much as I like BA, I don't care if he comes back or not.

[Bulldogboy]

Arcia has got to make routine plays like that. Pitcher up what is the rush to have to backhand?? Lack of awareness is stunning with him sometimes.

Despite solid stuff he really had to survive the first 2 innings. Nothing seemed truly overpowering. I could see him as a long man, inning eater in games where we are down. He did fine but it didn't feel like he was fooling anyone or getting anything easy. At least he has 3 pitches. Peralta has looked decidedly better than Houser.

[TURBO]

Yup, that should be 3 outs, end of inning...
