Brewers (Montas) vs Reds (Cruz): 8/31/24, 6:15pm

This has disaster written all over it.

[Bulldogboy]

Another 0-2 hit. Brewers give up tons of these.

[Samurai Bucky]

Serious question:  has it been the Brewers plan to get up 0-2 and then pick the corners and drive up the pitch count?

 

This is Freddy’s MO

A good first baseman has to stretch and steal that out. Bauers took it straight up.

[kevinisaname]

There we go, Aaron!

[Brewcrew82]

Just straight nasty from Ashby. Why I had confidence in him despite the first two guys reaching.

I was thinking the same thing on the replay. C'mon Jake, go out there and get that ball.

[Bulldogboy]

Ashby looks great to me.

[markedman5]

Man when Ashby locates he’s just nasty 

[yourout]

Teams are a combined two for 20 with RISP. 

Brewers are 1 for 11.

[adambr2]

Really great job working out of the potential damage my Ashby. 

[adambr2]

Let's get some runs.

Perk making **** happen

[DuWayne Steurer]

Bad bunt but speed puts pressure on the defense.

[wiguy94]

Anyone else think Perkins is on 3rd base there if he was sprinting to 2B instead of jogging?

And yet: 6 GS, 33 IP, 3.82 ERA, 3.60 FIP, 3.94 xFIP.

Over a full season that would be the best SP in this year's rotation. 

I agree with you that any talk of extending / re-signing him is premature, but that's mostly because with the way this org finds and develops pitchers, I'm not sure they should be giving anyone over 30 guaranteed money. But "he's had a grand total of 2 good outings" is far underselling what he's provided, I'd say. He pretty clearly looks like their #2 starter in a playoff series.

Yet Civale has better numbers over the same stretch (in ERA, not necessarily all peripherals, but it's a very small sample size).

No one is talking about him as a #2. 

Frankie has been decent. Again, he's allowed at least 3 earned runs in all but 2 starts. What am I missing here? That's not someone I'd want taking the ball in a Game 2 for me. 

[kevinisaname]

Hoskins K's on cue. I knew he wasn't going to move him over.

Yes, but you don’t want to make the first out at third.  

[yourout]

First base and DH has been such a black hole.

[adambr2]

Just needed Rhys to not strike out and at least move the runner over, so of course he strikes out. 

[Brewcrew82]

I'd rather see Frelick here as I don't have confidence in Garrett catching up to the fastball.

[kevinisaname]

Boy that was a hanger to Garrett. Please don't strike out.

You were indeed correct. 

[yourout]

Fastball at the belt and Mitchell has no chance.
