[TURBO]

I think we are going to see GOOD Freddy today... 6 innings, 1 run, 6 K's.

[Eye Black]

Since the tough Cardinals and Cubs series the first week of April the Brewers have gone 32-16 in games at Miller Park. Success at home was obviously a hallmark of the 2011 team as well.

[Eye Black]

Rockies LHP Tyler Anderson has 3.9 WAR this season according to Baseball Reference. That is currently the 11th highest total among all pitchers in MLB this season.

Shaw at third instead of Moose. Arcia sitting again.

[RollieTime]

I feel like Schoop will come out and get a couple hits tonight. The walk-off win last night and celebrating with the guys could really help him get comfortable and feel right at home.

[BruisedCrew]

I really don’t get batting Schoop fourth. It seems like that just puts more pressure on a guy who’s already pressing.

[Cirilloing]

I really don’t get batting Schoop fourth. It seems like that just puts more pressure on a guy who’s already pressing.

 

That, or it boosts his confidence to know that CC still believes in him.

 

I really hope tonight is the night for him.

[wildcat2237]

I really really don't get the Hernan Perez infatuation...

[TURBO]

I'm telling you, CC loves Perez and can't stop himself from playing him.

 

Remember when the Moose and Schoop trades went down, and several posters were commenting that we don't have to see Perez starting any longer. HA!

 

Hasn't effected his playing time at all.

 

I. JUST. DON'T. GET. IT.

[TURBO]

Oh, and Schoop hitting clean-up is just asinine.

 

Now that I said that, he'll go 3 for 4, HR and 3 RBIs.

[PinaMadness]

How does a middle infielder hit clean up?

[wildcat2237]

Oh, and Schoop hitting clean-up is just asinine.

 

Now that I said that, he'll go 3 for 4, HR and 3 RBIs.

 

1. Jonathan Schoop

 

100% assinine. Schoop should be in the 8 hole until he shows some sign of life.

 

2. Hernan Perez

 

Perez I honestly would have DFA'd long ago...low average...low obp...low power... what am I missing?

 

Of course I admit I personally hate low obp players who cant buy a walk...

 

My hatred for Craig Counsel is getting close to the way I couldn't stand Nedly Yost..

[TURBO]

How does a middle infielder hit clean up?

 

I don't think position matters when deciding who hits clean-up. I'm sure there are a few middle infielders around MLB that deserve it, but Schoop does not, and hitting him there is just strange.

[tmwiese55]

Sorry managers don't make lineups based off the last 3 games.

 

I was one of the at least no more Perez, Sogard, etc type when the trade went down. Yea just didn't expect them to play him over Arcia. Guess I was wrong but Perez is still a better hitter than Arcia and not awful on D. Hey at least we can say no more Sogard, Orfs, haha

[WinkelsasVsSoriano]

That 1-2 pitch was an easy strike. Not even close. Ridiculous.

 

Edit: Freddy strikes him out anyway. Still, I can't believe the ump missed such an easy strike.

[adambr2]

"Ball" 2 to Blackmon was nowhere near being a ball. One batter into the game and trash umpiring already. The lack of accountability for how bad these guys are is just unfathomable.

[PinaMadness]

That 1-2 pitch was an easy strike. Not even close. Ridiculous.

 

Edit: Freddy strikes him out anyway. Still, I can't believe the ump missed such an easy strike.

I can.

[WinkelsasVsSoriano]

C'mon, Freddy. Get control.

[WinkelsasVsSoriano]

Again. 1-2, missed strike 3.

 

Edit: And, again, Freddy strikes him out anyway. Garbage umpiring. Better get the same on the other side.

[adambr2]

Strike 3 to Gonzales. Seriously, screw this ump.

[kybrewerfan]

That 1-2 pitch was an easy strike. Not even close. Ridiculous.

 

Edit: Freddy strikes him out anyway. Still, I can't believe the ump missed such an easy strike.

I can.

 

Umpires are too influenced by the catcher. If Pina was set up there and didn't have to move to catch the ball it would likely have been a strike.

[adambr2]

I don't know how much longer they can hang with Peralta, might need to swap him out in Colorado Springs with Woodruff soon.

 

He's got command issues to work on. Its just too taxing on your bullpen to hand the ball to a 3-4 inning starter every 5 days.

[brewerswinNLcentral]

I like Perez in the 7 slot. It works for me.

[adambr2]

That 1-2 pitch was an easy strike. Not even close. Ridiculous.

I can.

Yep. Another benefit of the automated zone, it does not care how much the catcher moves, it knows what a strike is.
