Game Thread (8/30/2022): Pirates (Keller) at Brewers (Alexander) - 7:10 PM CDT

[yourout]

To many pitches above the knees. Either get it to the belt or at the knees.

He does not have the stuff to work anything but the corners.

Can’t get it to work too well from the ballpark, but this page should get you the 2022 batting splits for Cruz:

https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/split.fcgi?id=cruzon01&year=2022&t=b

Look for the “By Opponent” tab/subsection. 

It doesn't give the "not against brewers" stats. Cruz has 6 HR vs the brewers, and 5 vs. the rest of the league.

that hasn't been his experience.

 

Brewers have looked pretty lost so far.

[Robocaller]

Thank God (and Alexander's ground ball propensity) for these double plays.

Don't have without Brewers in the total, but AVG is .184 so you can imagine the rest.  

vs. Mil .262/.326/.738

vs. MLB .200/.253/.410

Also 6 of his 11 HR and 15 of his 34 This is his 12th game against the Brewers. He’s had 43 against everyone else.

I swear before!  

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Sounded good off the bat for Wong. Long arcing homer, taking its time to clear the fence. 

[Brewcrew82]

Wong really showcasing the power lately. Three homers in four games.

Didn’t we struggle against Keller earlier this year too?

Yes. 1 run in 5.1 innings in a game in April that the Brewers ended I winning 4-2.

[yourout]

Still a decent AB by Huira.

Missed a couple but the bat path and body positioning is markedly improved.

He wants that option picked up!

Next start we did hit him pretty hard though.

I still wouldn't pick it up. Brice Turang is the future and we need to pay for our pitchers. 

[yourout]

Looks like a few seats down from Amy is Front Row Frieda the weightlifter.

[Brewcrew82]

Cardinals lose. Kind of have to win this one if we want to have any tangible shot at the division.

4 runs in 4.2 innings in that one which came the next week, so they saw him in consecutive starts.

At a bargain rate of 8 million dollars, They should pick that option up and they can swap him off later.

Every dollar matters for an organization such as the Brewers.
