Brewers at Braves; Tuesday, August 5 @ 6:15 p.m.: Freddy Peralta (3.08 ERA, 3.81 FIP) vs. Joey Wentz (5.02 ERA, 4.28 FIP)

Freddy always makes me nervous. I seldom enjoy watching him pitch. He can be lights out or extremely hittable & wild … completely unpredictable. 

[markedman5]

Nice work by Freddy to work out of the bad luck

[HarryDoyle]

Freddy pitched well that inning. Just a couple tough luck infield singles.

Good lord ump

2 terrible calls this inning now.

You know... I thought of this during the Washington series and I was just reminded watching Collins AB right there (for the wrong reason this time)...

The Brewers have so FEW at bats that are not competitive, Ortiz aside. Yelich oddly enough seems like he has the most after Joey. I have no idea how to quantify or qualify this observation but we just don't seem overwhelmed at the plate by anyone, ever. Even Siegler, who isn't picking up hits .... it feels like he battles himself into a 2-2 count all the time and then makes decent contact.

I dunno, I could be wrong. 

[BruisedCrew]

The A’s knocked out Gore with 7 runs on 12 hits in three plus innings. 

I’m beginning to think the Nats have a pitching problem.

This plate ump is garbage lol

[adambr2]

Is this ump as atrocious (both ways) as it appears on Gameday?

[kevinisaname]

Wow, the ump has been bad both ways now. Joey is on strike 5, lol.

Fun weather note: yesterday was a record low-HIGH for Atlanta for August 4. It was the first time on that date that the high temps stayed in the 60's since 2013.

[kevinisaname]

Ugh, William...

Time to earn your money now Yeli. 

[wildcat83]

Looks like a pretty steady rain falling now.

[kevinisaname]

Yeli picks him up with an infield single!

[HarryDoyle]

Pet peeve. Runner on third one out and you can't drive in the run. Hit it deep, hit a grouder, anything but strike out and a shallow fly.

Case in point. Christian Yelich.

[kevinisaname]

Wild pitch! I'll take it!

Rain may have helped that passed ball.

To be fair they have been really good this year in those spots. The name "Team Sac Fly" hasn't been given to them without reason...

[kevinisaname]

Andrew Vaughn fought like hell in that AB! TWO RUN SINGLE!

[liveforoctober]

That was a hall of fame at bat from Vaughn. Goodness gracious.

Some of it is relative too.  I don't think Contreras beats that Yelich hit out and the inning would have been over.

That is fair. Just mentioning it's a pet peeve of mine.

Mr. Clutch Andrew Vaughn.
