2019-06-11: Brewers (Peralta) at Astros (Peacock) [Brewers lose, 10-8 -- Rough outing for Peralta; Astros hit four 2-run HRs; Crew’s rally falls short]

[Bulldogboy]

Cain looking like Wille May's with the Mets on that one. See ya Freddy.

[Fear The Chorizo]

I hate facing Brantley. I loved tracking him in A-ball for us.

 

Meh, give it two weeks until his next injury that has him out the rest of the season...happy he's made a nice career for himself after being the only prospect who did anything of value at the mlb level in the Sabathia trade

[mtrebs]

 

*Mat

 

I blame Mr. and Mrs. Gamel. They insulted the gods by spelling Matt, Mat. They could have saved their wrath by spelling Ben, Benn...

 

When I heard the Brewers acquired Ben, I actually looked it up to see if it was spelled “Benn”.

[DHonks]

Didn’t look like Cain needed to jump for that one, but I’m not going to harp on his defensive ability.

 

That's a really weird corner there. He almost smacked into the padded wall, then jumped and just missed it. Throw in that the ball was slicing a lot, that's tough

[brooks_quichenick]

Cain has to be playing hurt or something. He's been pretty consistently terrible

[xisxisxis]

Well there is a band called "Hot Garbage"... I think Freddy should pick one of their songs for his walkup song...

[Bulldogboy]

It is unbelievable that Brewers can't score anybody from third but other teams do it against them every time. It has to be addressed. How can this be?? What can be done? Who's to blame?

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

I think Freddy just needs to go away for awhile. San Antonio, Biloxi ... I don't care. This "Good Freddy/Bad Freddy" crap has gotten almost infuriating to watch.

[willie key]

The best thing about the astros moving to the AL was not having to play In this abortion of a ballpark ten times a year

[82brewcrew82]

Night all.

[jason21nl]

Baseballs are like damn golf balls. That was a good pitch

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Well, this Astros AAA lineup is looking pretty good.

[xisxisxis]

That AAA lineup the Astros are trotting out there really isn't that good... So I've heard... Hate to see what the A-team would look like...

[DHonks]

Before he came in, I did a double take. I had forgotten Albers was on the team still.

 

As we get Chacin back, Freddy needs to go to AAA. When Gio is back, perhaps Burnes joins him

[mtrebs]

Whoever makes the decision that they should swing for home runs every at bat instead of altering their approach in that situation. I’ve heard that statistically that’s the correct approach but I still disagree with it for some reason... probably because I’m an old, crabby man that has never seen his team win a World Series.

[Eye Black]

Well the Brewers gave up 16 runs to the Marlins last Tuesday, so by comparison this Tuesday isn’t so bad.

[Bulldogboy]

Here's where we remind everyone that the Astros are missing there three best players. Jesus for the Alvarez kid straight up. Who says no?

[Harold Hutchison]

Cain has to be playing hurt or something. He's been pretty consistently terrible

 

Who do you call up?

 

And it is time for Peralta to move to the pen. Maybe with fastballs, he can be a right-handed Hader. Either that, or send him down to learn a new pitch, and to re-work his pitch mix.

[Fear The Chorizo]

It's also pretty nice to get what is arguably the league's most talented organization top to bottom out of the brewers' division.. sure, we missed out on beating up on the Astros during that string of 100 loss seasons right after they switched leagues, but back then we had the awful Cubs to pummel, too.

[Bulldogboy]

Baseballs are like damn golf balls. That was a good pitch

Tell this to Jesus.

[willie key]

Is Freddy for Chacin that much of a difference.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

I think in the preseason thread I mentioned I didn't really love Peralta, but he just strikes me as a guy who's never going to be what his biggest fans want him to be.

[young guns]

Here's where we remind everyone that the Astros are missing there three best players. Jesus for the Alvarez kid straight up. Who says no?

Besides the Astros you mean?

[82brewcrew82]

Is Freddy for Chacin that much of a difference.

No

[mtrebs]

Peralta needs to get sent down and work on another pitch. Too bad there aren’t any proven free-agent relievers available any longer...
