Get someone up, please.

He is not a Game 1 starter 

Not right now. He was pitching like one for most of the season though. I wonder if he's wearing down. I know that's weird to say about a seasoned veteran like him but no question he's been off lately,

[HarveysWBs]

He’s a brutal watch for being such a talented pitcher. Kind of always has been. I rarely get the urge to buy tickets when he’s the probable starter. Sheets? Yo? Burnes? Woody? Full send. Peralta just isn’t the same.

[adambr2]

He’s done after 4 and we were fortunate to get that.

[kevinisaname]

Got out of it without any further damage, but he's not looking good. I think that should be his last batter.

OFFSEASON PLANS

I hope the Brewers re-sign Woodruff for three years 

I hope the Brewers trade Peralta

[HarryDoyle]

You just know Murphy's going to send him out again because he's not at 100 yet. He should probably be limited to 90 right now. Either that or go to a six man rotation.

[willie key]

Keep scoring.     Peralta should have been able to get us through this with a 4 run lead.    He needs to skip a start too in my opinion.

Let’s see what Peralta does with ten pitches? 🤷‍♂️

Probably best to let a reliever start with a clean inning.

Hindsight is 20 / 20 … but I wish he’d been traded last week

No other Brewers player frustrates me as much as Peralta 

I felt the same way last year

That would give off ‘Hader trade’ vibes which we likely won’t do again soon.

[HarryDoyle]

That's what I thought.

[edfunderburk]

I fear that Milwaukee trades Freddy Peralta  during the offseason & Carlos Rodriguez takes his spot on the rotation & replicates his frustrating high & low tendencies

Almost guarantee he will be in the offseason. One year left on his deal. Good value. Lot of historical precedence. I think they will, and that’s ok. I definitely will wish him the best. I assume he’s the longest tenured guy here besides Yelich. Well, Woodruff too although he technically wouldn’t count because he was non tendered and a free agent.

[kevinisaname]

Gotta take him out now, I'd think.

 

Never mind, he'll face Murphy.

[HarryDoyle]

Murphy should be his last batter.

[kevinisaname]

The non-competitive pitches are killers.

[jason21nl]

I’m so tired of him.  Non competitive pitches on 0-2 counts.  

[HarryDoyle]

I know Murphy wants to set him up for the win, but Peralta shouldn't throw 100 pitches again this year.

[kevinisaname]

Well, he got through five. Only going five innings is becoming a bit of a problem, though.

[adambr2]

I can’t believe he made it through 5. Much less with only 1 run allowed.

Okay, it can pour now.

[Brian]

Well he's done now. 

[folly412]

[edfunderburk]

I hope Murphy doesn’t go on & on during his postgame press conference bragging on “what a great kid Peralta is” … & “what a gutsy performance” … despite only giving up a run in five innings, nothing about his performance tonight was worthy of compliments
