2013-04-03 Rockies (Nicasio) at Brewers (Peralta), 7:10 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 7-3]

[brwrsfan]

Carlos Gomez is still a good outfielder.

[two_three_the_count]

Oh Baby that is sweet!

[MVP2110]

Gomez!!!!!!!!!!

[pebadger]

See, whining pays off.

[jjkoestler]

GoGo! What an amazing catch!

[GenoSeligPrieb]

If not for GoGo's amazing catch, that's another HR and 5 runs. Peralta? Have a seat.

[The stache]

Wow, Go Go robs Cargo!!!

[James Zumstein]

They finally found a way to get Cargo out. Nice catch, Carlos!

[ELCABALLO45]

OH MY CARLOS!!!

[two_three_the_count]

Go-Go vs. Car-Go!!!!

[MVP2110]

dont like the move of taking out Peralta here. But well see

[brwrsfan]

While it's certainly too early to get freaked out, it has not been good for the starters.

 

So far...3 starts, 15.1 IP, 12 runs, all earned and a ton of hits.

[topper09er]

Peralta 48 strikes, 42 balls.

 

O my, last out was Gonzo, could this be a Yuni double switch?

[dlk9s]

Yeah, I really care about how many pitches Gomez sees per at-bat.

[GenoSeligPrieb]

"Yikes, a little premature there? It's not like these guys are getting shelled for 6-7 runs. Guess which ballpark was #1 in the majors for home runs last year?"

 

Of COURSE I'm premature here. I'm pissed! These last place losers are coming into our park, and are going for 2 of 3 (almost a sweep, if Axford would have his way).

 

I'm venting.

 

My dog has not been kicked, I didn't yell at my wife, I didn't throw a beer bottle at the TV.

 

That's why we're here!

[MVP2110]

Really Roenicke? Your master plan is to put our pitcher behind Braun and Ramirez. cause Gonzalez wasn't bad enough?

[xisxisxis]

If not for GoGo's amazing catch, that's another HR and 5 runs. Peralta? Have a seat.

 

But he hasn't hit his 90 pitch limit Geno...... Ok. Now he can come out.....

[trwi7]

Betancourt at 1st. Awesome.

[jjkoestler]

Yuni's first time at first. Save your ticket stubs.

[Ennder]

Your best bet is to simply ignore the first 2 weeks of the season because they don't mean squat in the long term (other than obviously counting in the W/L column but you know what I mean). The Brewers team an over the top delivery to all of their starters. This leads to a lot of Ks. If the pitchers miss down it leads to a lot of BB, if they are missing up it leads to a lot of HR and hits. This is a case of pitchers just not having good control yet and a little bit of bad luck considering the Rockies have like 7 infield hits in a 3 game series which is insane.

[The stache]

Well, a big part of the reason they were "last place losers" is that they had two of the best hitters in the game missing 140 + combined games. Take Braun and Ramirez off our team that much, and the Brewers would struggle, too.

 

Our pitching will calm down, and I hope it will improve.

Ok fair enough, but there's no reason to be worried...yet. Series losses are no big deal in MLB. Just have to avoid sweeps. It could be worse, this could be the 2011 Brewers. They started 0-4.

[GenoSeligPrieb]

Betancourt is at 1B. And NOT Jesus H. Khrys Davis? Brilliant.

 

How can Davis be any more inexperienced there, than Gonzalez and Betancourt? What's the harm? I hear some people say this Davis character can even hit.

[two_three_the_count]

Yeah I thinks its been mostly bad luck. Was really hoping Peralta would be the first guy to go 6 IP.
