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

I'd like to see a replay of that pitch to Rendon. It's been a bigger zone tonight, so at least Bucknor has been consistent.

1. That was closer than some pitches called for strikes on the outside corner.

2. 96.8.... dang.

[jason21nl]

Again that fastball looks like 100mph plus coming out of his hand. Wow!

[82brewcrew82]

MLB had it right on the outside line. Could have gone either way.

[folly412]

A little tough to be rung up on that on 0-2. Certainly not to the point that it's worth getting tossed over.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Well, if tonight is any indication, they can keep on letting someone else pitch the first inning or two for Freddy.

[PinaMadness]

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.

I agree. However, Lepay has a day job and will never do Brewers full time. I could do without his "break even" call though. It annoys me to no end. The Brewers should just let BA go to do his own thing and find someone who will do 162.

It wasn't even close to being the furthest strike called outside. Machine calls it a ball but it was close.

 

Hiura watch: 1-2 single K bb

97 for Peralta on that strikeout of Rendon! Nice to see him pick up a few ticks on his fastball!

[markedman5]

Great work by Freddy......loved his use and command of the curve ball tonight

[PinaMadness]

I see a 19 inning 1-0 ball game.

[Harold Hutchison]

Crap. Tell me Aguilar didn't get hurt...

[Brew crew 92]

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.

 

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.

 

I concur, Peralta showed tonight he can pitch out of the pen, FB will tick up, potential weapon, just like last year in the playoffs against the dodgers.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

They can get Strasburg out of this game at any time.

[Eye Black]

Crap. Tell me Aguilar didn't get hurt...

Aguilar is fine. Kurt Suzuki is hurt.

 

Edit: But staying in the game apparently. He was bleeding out of the ear after the ball deflected off Aguilar’s stomach into the side of Suzuki’s head.

[TJseven7]

Crap. Tell me Aguilar didn't get hurt...

 

Looks bad, we are going to have to DL him and call up Keston.

[TJseven7]

There you go Shaw! Baby steps.

 

Close the book on Freddy. His ERA dropped from 8.31 to 6.75 tonight. Great outing.

A broken bat bleeder can’t even score Jesus

[Brew crew 92]

There’s the hit that gets Shaw out of his horrible, dreadful, massive slump!!!

[Eye Black]

Please at least get a sac fly here Thames.

 

Edit:

[jason21nl]

Such a nasty pitch

[adambr2]
