Dammit, Freddy.

[MoreTrife]

Put that slider on the shelf Freddy.

Bad Freddy.  Lame ballpark.

Never should have went away from the fastball.

I love guys scrambling to get loose after the guy gives up a bomb to give up the lead. 😆 

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Seems like too much failure to put batters away with two strikes tonight from Peralta, even with the 6 strikeouts.

 

[Simba2020]

Freddy is not and never will be an ace.

[kevinisaname]

Just a lot of balls that aren't competitive forcing him to go into the strike zone and no put-out pitch tonight.

I wish I could throw a tantrum and disagree with you, but I came here to post the same exact thing.

He just isn't.

[craigharmann]

I’ve really been enjoy the game. I live in Houston and love the Astros, but the Brewers were my team growing up and are still my NL team. I’m in person tonight and tomorrow, so if anyone happens to be at the game, I’d love to say hi!

[RobertCrawley]

Bang bang.

 

Safe (I hope)

[duewizard]

Freddy will be a good pitcher for years to come. Elite fastball (VAA, really positive run value and all that fancy stuff) and stirkeouts, but he is no ace. His secondary stuff is mediocre and whenever things go bad he lacks the composure to get out of his head and get results. I love him to bits but he is a solid number 2 at best.

This staff does not have an ace and, if Misiorowski does not get his stuff under control, I don't see one in the minors. Guys like Knoth and Wichrowski have potential, but it is too early to tell

[HarryDoyle]

I know this is broken record talk, but this umpire is terrible

On the big screen it looked like the tag clearly got him before his foot hit the bag. But NY is blind.

Equally terrible for both sides…..so I guess that’s……good?

Well, he's our ace. He may not be the best ace in the league, but he's not the wurst. And we're in first place. And the cubs lost again.

[kevinisaname]

Koenig, what is that pitch on 0-2? And why Koenig over Hoby or Hudson?

Classic apologist post

Brewers don’t have an ace

Freddy is currently the most experienced starter 

 

[kevinisaname]

VIEIRA WARMING UP? Why him!?

[kevinisaname]

Whew. OK, maybe I overreacted lol. Now please get some runs! But seriously, not Vieira in a close game.

I mean I'm glad Freddy's on our team. He's a steal for what they are paying him. But you are either an ace or you're not. The best starter on a team doesn't make one an ace and I just hate hearing him being called one. Can't even sniff going 6 innings per start in any season pretty much removes you from the conversation in my mind.

Murphy is not aware that good relievers can pitch in games to keep a game close.

[willie key]

Peralta can not be rocking a 4.5 era this year.   He needs to pull his head out of his you know what

[craigharmann]

Montero could be good, could be awful.

[Bulldogboy]

Ortiz is hitterish
