2019-09-03: Astros (Greinke) at Brewers (Lyles) [Brewers win, 4-2]

[markedman5]

Perhaps our GM might know what he's going (i.e. Pomeranz and Black)

 

And Lyles......

[markedman5]

Jordan Lyles' final seven Pirates starts: 10.00 ERA.

 

Jordan Lyles' first seven Brewers starts: 2.56 ERA.

And Lyles......

 

Faria has been the least impressive of the pitching pickups. Perhaps the most long-term upside though.

Dubon has been starting every day for the Giants and, while obviously very small sample, performing quite well for the Giants as their starting 2B. Given that I don't think we're going to make the playoffs anyway, I'd still rather have kept Dubon. Obviously if we do make the playoffs and Pomeranz ends up being a huge part of it I'll be proven wrong on that.

Ray Black is likely a solid pen piece as well for the rest of this year and moving forward. That is not to be discounted.

 

I am pulling for Dubon. It would have been fun to see him get more of a shot with the Brewers. But I think they did decent in that deal.

[stoutdude04]

Strike one to Yelich... these guys are terrible.

[jason21nl]

Which then makes him swing at the next one

[adambr2]

This umpiring crew seems to despise Christian Yelich.

[homer]

Astros haven't intentionally walked anyone all season, per Tom H.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Little bit of a make-up call there to put Yelli on 1st.

Yep.

I doubt Black even cracks the opening day roster next year which would likely mean he's gone because he's out of options. But again, time will tell.

[nate82]

Why does Braun always swing at the first pitch out of the strike zone but will watch a tumbling slider or fastball go right down the middle of the plate?

[Brew crew 92]

Keep Pomeranz pitching, keep Alvarez on the bench

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

That could happen. I think I'd take the bet that he makes it, though. Brewers love their power relievers.

[jason21nl]

Mowing em down!

[markedman5]

Standing ovation for Pomeranz.......wow

Stearns isn’t cutting him loose, unless he’s a disaster of epic proportions.

That's my thought as well. Sucks he doesn't have any options, but a cheap reliever you control for 5 years and can hit triple digits with his fastball is pretty valuable.

[Brew crew 92]

Standing ovation for Pomeranz.......wow

 

I’d leave him in to finish this game. He’s dominating.

Agree......don't think they traded Dubon for a guy they didn't plan on keeping to go with Pomeranz.

 

Time will tell

 

It would be nice to bring back Pomeranz doesn't seem likely but you never know

[yourout]

I think I would rather have Thames face the Lefty then Austin

Pomeranz is making himself some money this offseason as a multi-inning power lefty reliever. He's been impressive. I doubt anyone looks at him as a starter anymore after the drastic splits he's put up.

[yourout]

Fiers has had a nice year for the As.

[adambr2]

Lol not only was that a strike to Austin, but he went around too.

 

I have no problem pointing out when the umpires are garbage in our favor as well.
