I may be alone but I can’t watch Freddy pitch. I mute my audio, glance up & check the count every once in a while, hope he doesn’t walk batters, pray he gets through the inning, then I unmute & watch the offense

I know you’re not alone, but the numbers don’t lie, and they say he’s the best starting pitcher on our staff and that it isn’t particularly close.

[bm1090]

For all the ******** about Peralta, he’s finished 5+ innings in all but 2 starts this year.

Yeah, he's a great pitcher. I don't know where we'd be without him.

Ump show

[treego14]

Ump is a chump!

[HarveysWBs]

Oh good, it’s not just me noticing this ump is calling trash.

Probably a 74-88 team.  Imagine where we'd be if he could be an ACE and give us more than 5IP more often.

 

[Bulldogboy]

This team needs to hit. 

[adambr2]

Ump sucks and isn’t consistent.

We don’t have that strong of a case though on those pitches to Yelich. Bieber dotted.

How many six & seven inning games has he pitched this year? He is supposedly our staff ace. He’s had a very good year, but he doesn’t go deep enough into games & throws far too many pitches. 

[Bulldogboy]

Nice job Freddy. Let's go guys

Do you enjoy watching him pitch?

I don’t disagree that he is Milwaukee’s best starting pitcher.

Not sure, but Peralta averages 5.5 innings per start this year. Logan Webb leads the majors in innings and averages 6.2. So the pitcher with the most innings in the MLB this year gets 2 outs per game more than Freddy. Complete non-issue.

[willie key]

Freddy shows up every five days to pitch.    Compared to every other brewer pitcher that makes him cy young in my opinion

I don’t particularly enjoy watching any Brewer player the past two weeks, but here I am parked in front of the TV again.

[adambr2]

Gotta start swinging the bat and stop griping about the outside corner. He is hitting it.

[Bulldogboy]

Monasterio behind Perkins is a slap in the face.

Yes … I as well … addicts no doubt

[treego14]

Perkins is squaring the ball up so well lately!

3 warning track outs yesterday, too!

Would rather have him at 9 so maybe he gets on for the 2-3 other guys who are hitting right now.

but yeah, I’m about done with Blake Perkins plate appearances.

[Bulldogboy]

5 great innings from Freddy. 

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Is Walker Buehler worth a flyer 

[kevinisaname]

MONA! BANG!

[edfunderburk]

Wow … he has been electric! Monasterio adding value.

Mona!

I'd much rather try Buechler than Fedde.
