Brewers (Peralta) vs Angels (Anderson): 6/19/24, 8:38pm

[Brock Beauchamp]

Rough pitching matchup tonight. Will the real Freddy please stand up?

[treego14]

Brewers will not falta' with Peralta!

We will snatch this rubber match just like a Sal Frelick catch!

Anderson will be Sad-you-see-son when this is done!

[young guns]

Stupid angels don't care about those of us who can't stay up to watch late games.  Didn't give us an afternoon game on getaway day.

[Brian]

Peralta is due for a good performance tonight after allowing 12 runs in his last 3 outings. 

Brewers are 1  1/2 run favorites. 

[Fear The Chorizo]

keep finding ways to win series, Brewers!

[willie key]

This is not a great lineup Freddy 

 

time to show up instead of getting shown up by the rest of the staff

Nice. Believe a win tonight would run the division lead to 7.5 games then which would be the Brewers largest margin of the season so far.

Tough last of the 9th for Burleson in RF.

First batter hits what looks like a routine fly ball, but he was playing almost at the track and got a bad jump and the ball dropped in.

Then with 2 out and a runner on second there’s a line single to RF. Burleson fields it on one hop and it looks like there will be a play at the plate .But as he starts to throw the ball slips out of his hand. He retrieves it and tries to throw home, but it fell out of his hand again.

Arenado got hit in the elbow with a pitch in the 8th inning and walked of the field in obvious pain.

Just a beautiful sequence as I watched from my living room…………like I wrote the ending myself……..

Alec has -11 OAA in only 685 career innings as an OF. That is pretty brutal. Right up there with teammate Jordan Walker at -14 OAA in 1,055 innings as an OF.

For comparison someone like Hunter Renfroe has also put up -11 OAA over that same time frame, but it took him 2,533 innings to do it. Andrew Benintendi put up -14 OAA too, but in 2,740 innings.

Kind of emblematic of the Cardinals problems as a whole the last couple years...

2018-22 STL
392 W (7th) | -0.29 ERA/FIP (2nd) | +80 OAA (3rd)

2023-24 STL
107 W (24th) | +0.30 ERA/FIP (28th) | -8 OAA (20th)

Defense has collapsed and pitchers have gone from one of the best in MLB at beating their peripherals to one of the worst. Meanwhile the Brewers...

2018-22 MIL
395 W (6th) | -0.12 ERA/FIP (9th) | +25 OAA (10th)

2023-24 MIL
135 W (5th) | -0.47 ERA/FIP (1st) | +57 OAA (1st)

Pretty close with STL from 2018-22, but Arnold's Brewers have pulled away the last year plus by leaning even harder into defense than they did under Stearns. The bullpen's MLB best +19.14 WPA over the last two years (2nd place is all the way down at +11.81, STL in 19th at +1.61) has obviously been huge too.

Cubs were so close to snatching defeat from the jaws of victory, yet again. 

[markedman5]

Hmmm

 

[TURBO]

I don't know who needs a good showing from Freddy more, the Brewers, or Freddy himself?

If Black is up, who is going down?  Injury we don't know about?

Give Black another shot,  he can't do any worse than Hoskins or Bauers.

So Dunn is done?    For now 😏

I’m guessing Eleiser and Ollie 

[AKCheesehead]

Heh I see that’s the case and old news. Shame on me for having not scrolled. Hopefully they all do well!

Well, the Brewers are "getting away" after the game by hopping on a bus to San Diego, so at least they aren't screwing over the team on a late flight back to the East...

Black is past Super 2 deadline so no real reason to keep him down. It will be interesting to see who’s at bats he will be taking.  Can’t imagine they will have him as a last option off the bench.

Bauers and Hoskins. Occasionally Chourio,  Mainly Bauers though I would think.

Black can fly too… 55 SB last year
