Dodgers (Kershaw) vs Brewers (Peralta): 8/12/24, 7:10pm

[Brewce]

Honest and serious question (I don't know how to look this up):  When is the last time Peralta won a game when he gave up three or less runs? Or explain to me how to look it up. Thanks. 

[yfinn6]

Frelick and Turang looking to walk or what?!

Chourio without a hit so far on the home stand………

You probably wrote this before hit tonight. EVs of 99.3-100.2 and 103.4 and I believe a lot of his contact has been that way, just in wrong spots turning to outs.

Frelick reminds me of Tony Gwynn. Junior, unfortunately. 

Frelick’s ceiling is too low for me to get excited about.

Game logs. I use Baseball reference simple to do.

JUN 30th was a 7IP 1ER win.

He had 2 6IP starts in July that were 0 and 2ER without a decision

Also had a 111 EV lineout in the Reds series. Hardest hit ball of his career.

Same old same old with getting called out on strikes. It's unbelievable.

Turang must not have been looking too hard considering he chased 2 FB above the zone one of them on a 2-1 count

[wiguy94]

Turang's wRC+ is down to 89 after that last strikeout.

His pitch recognition is horrible.  No way he should be leading off on a regular basis.

I want to think we can compete in a 7 game series against the two big boys in this league. I just don't see how.

The best argument I've seen on this site suggest that they need to get in and get "hot".   They came into this stretch hot so we will see how that theory plays out.

[82brewcrew82]

LOL, Mitchell hurt now?

[brewcrewdue80]

105EV for that Chourio out.

 

Hard to be mad that Ohtani and Betts have had their 4RBI and no one else has 1.  Playing vs 3 HoFs atop their order.

Which is a really good illustration of the difference between the two teams.

I would argue we are not hot anymore. 

The bats really went to sleep in that Cincinnati series

THEY CAN'T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH THIS!

Which makes those four games the anomaly with the offense being consistent with their performance before and after that blip.

This is incredible. Unfortunate that at this point you have to question which is the real thing first half or second half.

I think the 89 wRC+ is the real thing. His underlying numbers all speak to him playing to about what he deserves to be right now. It's just come with a huge overperformance and a huge underperformance rather than more steady play.

We have last year too.  He was hot to start the year but the reality is that he hasn't hit much for the better part of two seasons.

[shanedog19]

Our offense is very feast or famine.

[markedman5]

They had Ohtani and Betts…….we did not.
