Sonny Gray: Batter (Brewers) vs Pitching Stats

Gray has made us look silly already this year, so I’m expecting more of the same. Houser is certainly capable of holding the reds at bay for 4-5 innings. Gray doesn’t waste pitches, so expecting to get to reds pen before the 8th probably not happening. 1-0, 2-1, win or loss could happen here. Or warning track outs in most parks could fly out in this bandbox.

If we don’t ten run them tonight then I think are playoff chances are slim to none

Hoping for an appearance from April 2017 Eric Thames.

[long ball]

The Reds line up is in rough shape right now outside of Suarez. They have a 74 wRC+ as a team in September. Hopefully the Brewers pitching continues doing what they've been doing and the offense can scrape together a couple of runs for a win.

[yourout]

Of all the games left this might be the toughest pitching matchup.

[Beer Out West]

Here's hoping for vintage Braun and Thames belting em out.

[RobDeer 45]

I think this will be a very tough game tonight. I hope I'm wrong. Our pitching is going to have to do a great job and keep the runs low.

[wildcat2237]

Very tough match-up.

 

As others have stated, my hope if that Houser etc. keep the Reds off the board, we can win a 2-1 or 3-2 ballgame.

[Greenleaf1]

That MLB record is crazy, apparently 7 hits would be quite the achievement against Gray tonight.

 

I still like our chances.

[brooks_quichenick]

Well, Sonny Gray looks pretty good

[Brew crew 92]

Moose with the no confidence AB.

[adambr2]

Houser hasn't been good starting lately. He'll make the playoff roster but I think it's definitely going to be in a reliever role.

[Jopal78]

I have a feeling the Cubs aren’t done yet and the Brewers will be going to Colorado needing multiple wins

[pacopete4]

Houser hasn't been good starting lately.

 

It’s because... oh never mind.

[Brew crew 92]

Houser hasn't been good starting lately.

 

Definitely looks bad.

[Brew crew 92]

Can’t take pitches with this guy, first pitch aggression warranted.

Houser with the first successful sac bunt in franchise history to my recollection.

Houser with the first successful sac bunt in franchise history to my recollection.

Lol

[adambr2]

Grisham has such a good, patient approach.

[yfinn6]

Houser with the first successful sac bunt in franchise history to my recollection.

Yeah, this one made me chuckle.

 

I do like Grisham in the leadoff spot.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Houser pretty much had one bad pitch in his last time out. Otherwise he was great. Not sure where the narrative that he’s been bad lately is coming from. Can’t expect perfection from your starters every time out.
