Interesting the Stearns was on saying that Peralta doesn't have a innings limit.
"This is a very simple game. You throw the ball, you catch the ball, you hit the ball. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it rains." Think about that for a while.

I agree. Most teams error on the side of the absurd when it comes to young arms.

Maybe Stearns has data that throwing balls puts little effort on your arm while throwing strikes stresses the arm... Then it's clear the Brewers are instructing him to continue to throw mostly "balls" to save his arm... He doesn't have the pinpoint control of a blind pitcher by accident... it's intentional!

At this point, I'd like to see Braun elevated to #3 in the order, and Cain leading off again. Seems like Cain in the leadoff spot was working at the beginning of the year, but he hasn't ben there much lately.

You simply just have to win a game like this vs a crap pitcher and the other team not playing their two best hitters. Just get it done.

 

I'm already annoyed that we won't sweep after the disaster inning yesterday. I can't imagine losing this series.

This is one thing I haven’t understood for a few months now. Why did we ever go away from 1. Cain 2. Yelich? That worked really well. Isn’t it a baseball thing that players are creatures of habit and like being in the same spot? Why switch what was working?

Pretty sure it was simply Counsell trying to alternate his lefty and righty batters. Braun batted 3rd quite a bit the first two months, typically Cain-Yelich-Braun-Shaw.

So far this year Cain has 325 PAs in the leadoff spot with an 809 OPS, he has 94 PAs batting 2nd with an 819 OPS. No real difference.

 

Yelich is at 371 PAs batting 2nd with an 879 OPS compared to 78 PAs from the leadoff spot with an 821 OPS, so a slight difference.

 

If players truly are creatures of habit & can only perform to the best of their abilities in a specific batting order spot then we might have to petition the league to let us bat Cain & Yelich simultaneously third as 1,436 of Lorenzo's career 3,529 PAs & 1,518 of Christian's career 3,305 PAs have come from that spot. Prior to this season Cain had 225 leadoff PAs & Yelich had 313 PAs batting second.
