White Sox (Nastrini) vs Brewers (Peralta): 6/2/24, 1:10pm

[Oxy]

Easy to cheer for guys like Willy and Wild Bill.  They aren't old, and baseball isn't physically hard...PLAY everyday cuz it's fun...  They get months off at a time to rest and recoup...

[willie key]

That’s strange

Contreras going from not even in the lineup to catching today seems a bit unnecessary. Why not DH with Sanchez catching?

Well, everyone can stop complaining now.

Are you new here?😛

I actually like the idea of Turang & Ortiz in the top two spots. I wouldn't mess with it now with the team scoring runs as is, but maybe for future reference.

[Brewcrew82]

No excuses against this lineup Freddy. 

[edfunderburk]

Peralta consistently disappoints me 

His talent is undeniable 

His performance is always up & down

He Is a solid # 3 starter - not an ace

I wouldn’t trust him in a must win playoff game 

[BruisedCrew]

Should have been more concerned with Peralta than the lineup.

He is what he is which is probably an upper end mid-rotation starter.  He just is never going to be that guy.

[kevinisaname]

He just doesn't have a strikeout pitch and he's making so many uncompetitive pitches.

[82brewcrew82]

Gonna have to pull him soon.

[wiguy94]

Calling Freddy a mid-rotation guy is crazy talk. He's not an ace, but saying he's mid rotation is fiction.

Freddy has the 5th highest K-rate among qualified MLB pitchers this year...pretty dang impressive for a guy who doesn't have a strikeout pitch.

[yfinn6]

He stinks today. 

[brewers888]

How is this bullpen going to up all season pitching this many innings. 

[edfunderburk]

Good grief, Freddy - This is the worst team in baseball … have a little pride

I meant today he doesn't have a strikeout pitch.

[brewers888]

You've got to be able to give the team 7 solid innings against this lineup. With the pitch count this high we will be lucky to get 3.

He needs to find said strikeout pitch today

No, it isn't

2021 - 22nd in fWAR

2022 - injured

2023 - 29th in fWAR

2024 - 28th in fWAR

A top 30 SP is only mid-rotation if there were 10 teams in the MLB

[brewers888]

I'd feel a lot better if this team had at least signed an innings eater like Lorenzen. These short starts nearly every day are going to come back to bite us.

Are you watching the same game I’m watching?

This is far too common for Freddy this year

He’s a mid-rotation pitcher on a championship team

He looks like Tobias Myers today

They did sign an innings eater.  He got hurt.
