Well that was one way to save on the bullpen. Should be all rested up for Peralta's start today.

WOOF!

I've been most disappointed by the team defense. It has been awful and no one can seem to make a tough play.

[Baldkin]

The Milwaukee Brewers are 2nd in the NL in BB%.

 

The MILWAUKEE BREWERS!

 

By Comparison, from 2012 until 2015, they finished 11th, Last, 10th and 11th.

What you call WOOF I call all part of the plan. You'll be thanking me in June 2017 for showing you the awesomeness of the 2016 season.

Well, I like that Maldy is catching Wily today. Maybe that will help? or not hurt more?

 

It's also two years today since Martin hit the cover off a ball: Happy Memory Link

[pacopete4]

I find it comical that Walsh is batting lead off today. A guy that can't (for some reason) get any playing time finally gets a start and he's leading off. Go get em Walsh. Please hit so we don't have to see Hill play anymore.

Naw. I'm on board with a rebuild but I also think there is a way to do it and still be competitive. There is some talent on this ball club that is not doing their part. We can acquire talent in many different ways, and we have, other than trying to get top draft picks.

[DuWayne Steurer]

The run differential makes the Pyth. w/l look worse than it should be because Peralta has been absolutely atrocious. However, you can still only lose one game when Wily is pitching (thank goodness).

[MrTPlush]

I have heard some say our record is misleading...but do you realize we are on pace for a 62-100 season? Our record is actually really bad, but it look a lot better than it is because we are only 3 games under .500

Well yes, 5-8 is bad, and projected out it's bad. But the pyth 3-10 is REALLY bad, projected out would be 37 wins. D:

I think his point is 5-8 still projects to 62-100. Yes the Pythag is worse but the stats (.215 BA, 5.40 ERA, etc etc etc) all say 100 losses any way you slice it.

 

If you are a glass half full guy, the team has played some good teams so maybe when Phil and Atlanta come to town things will look up.

[MrTPlush]

Scooter Gennett's OBP is .400

 

Things I never thought possible.

Pythagorean W/L is pretty misleading as it is...and this many games in the season pretty pointless.

[MrTPlush]

Brewers Live is pretty bad, but I think they just put "Yuniesky Betancourt" and "Top Talent" in the same graphic.

[FVBrewerFan]

Peralta is capable of a great outing on any given day. Maybe today is that day! Wait....sorry...thought this was the Positive thread.

[3and2Fastball]

haven't checked the weather..... is it raining in Minnesota? Hoping they this game in

[scuttlebutts]

If he pitches his usual "bad" game, should the Brewers make a change? There might not be any possible change to make accept releasing the guy. I wouldn't feel bad if they did release the guy. Now moving him to the pen might be the best thing if Peralta would be up to that.

Yeah, I caught a bit of that segment - like 10 seconds worth, but they were talking about great Cuban players and Mentioned Yun-E.

[MrTPlush]

Weather should be fine...very low chance of rain at 3pm. It is an afternoon game. It will get in eventually if a rainstorm pops up. Lots of time to sit around.

[scuttlebutts]

Peralta = 10 era Santana = 3 era.

Might be over before it starts!

And if we win today we'll be on pace for a 69-93 season. Win tomorrow as well and we're on pace for a 76-86 season. Extrapolation is pretty meaningless this early in the season.
