May the best Peralta win.

It would certainly be nice to see Freddy have a "get right" game tonight. He hasn't been great since coming off the IL.

[Vgmastr]

I had no idea Wily was still pitching in MLB and to the tune of a 3.60 ERA. It was crazy how he fell off a cliff his last season with the Brewers, he looked like he was toast.

[Sixtofan]

It looks like Wily has finally reached his potential! I had no idea he was still around. I had high hopes for him as a Brewer.

He was never short of talent, that’s for sure. If the organization had its pitching development lab and methodology they have today I feel things may have been different.

[pacopete4]

If Wily was in this wave of pitchers, he'd probably earn a Cy Young with our pitching lab.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

There are few players I wanted to put it all together more than Wily. Really thought he was going to be a special kind of pitcher. Glad he's having some success, and I think others are right about the analytics. They've gotten really good at maximizing the impact of even individual plus pitches, especially in MKE but really all across the league. Wily seems to have gotten there just in time.

 

Hope he keeps it up...after tonight.

Wily was on fire his first 6 starts. 31.2 IP, 1.71 ERA, .182 BAA.

 

Since then, 8 starts, 37 innings, 5.35 ERA, .300 BAA.

 

I doubt he figured anything out. He just had a lot of luck/hot streak to start the year.

I'm doing my best to help that happen by not starting him for my fantasy team today.

I saw a bit of Wily early in the season. He throws a changeup now and throws it a considerable amount of the time. I doubt hitters were all that ready for so much changeup from him the first month or so of the season. My guess is scouting caught up to him and he's back to a replacement level pitcher at best.

Pretty good chance of a lengthy rain delay tonight.

Pretty good chance of a lengthy rain delay tonight.

 

I guess Suter is the long man tonight in case Freddy's start gets cut short due to weather/ineffectiveness? Or I guess they could just go bullpen game too. Might have been a good idea to save Ashby for tonight instead of pitching him three innings in a blowout game.

This is more or less a moot point. With the day off yesterday and again Thursday along with expanded rosters(15 pitchers on the roster), we have something like 8-9 guys available to pitch in relief tonight. Gustave, Norris, Sanchez, Suter, Strickland, Cousins, Boxberger, Williams, Hader. With how the Cleveland series went, CC will probably be lookin to get some of these guys some work no matter what as some probably haven't pitched in almost a week at this point.

[willie key]

so im assuming since reds and cards have same amount of losses, the magic number only drops by an extra game if they both lose?

 

Not just the reds losing

[tmwiese55]

Some might not be familiar Wily had a small resurgence a couple years ago as a reliver in KC too, was closer for a little while.

Yes. They both have 69 losses. They can both get to 93 wins if they go undefeated. If either/both does that, the Brewers would need five wins of their own to get to 94. So, the number is 5.

[SRB]

Pretty crazy to think that Wily Peralta was still on the team as recently as 2017. That seems like 15 years ago.

[Zad Fnark]

Pic of all 3.

Resurgence is way too generous a word. He accumulated some saves but he otherwise put up the same crappy numbers.

 

In two years in the KC bullpen his ERA, WHIP, FIP, and BB/9 were all worse than his career numbers. He had a slight uptick in K's but that's about the only good thing you could say about it.

[NYChez]

Looks like they’ll get 4-5 innings in, followed by a 1-2 hour rain delay. A solid 4-5 innings by Freddy would be a victory.

[PinaMadness]

Take a seat, Shoop.

[MoreTrife]

To this day I irrationally dislike Schoop.
