2018-08-29: Brewers (Peralta) at Reds (Harvey) 6:10 PM CDT [Brewers win, 13-12 in 10 innings -- Christian Yelich hits for the CYCLE on 6-for-6 Night; Brewers overcome controversy and 4-run deficit]

[brooks_quichenick]

Let's get a couple more in this inning, not going to feel comfortable with a 2 run lead.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Playing in a sandbox. And that rookie pitcher is holding his own this season. It’ll pay dividends.

 

I know the experience he's getting is good. Just tough to give it to him with a playoff-contending team.

 

Well we are facing one of the options to replace him. So... yeah. Grass isn’t always greener and this guy could be a keeper for years to come. These opportunities for Milwaukee haven’t come that much. I expect Burnesnext season to get a chance too and won’t complain if there are times he looks like a rookie.

 

I just think it's kinda junky that they have stuck with Peralta despite his blow-up games, yet really haven't given Woodruff any sort of chance to establish himself in the rotation this year. Pretty curious decision.

[schmidtac20]

the Marlins had an OF of Yelich Ozuna and Stanton at the same time.

[brewmann04]

will CC know use his ace relievers? so much using Hadar i guess CC is damm if he leaves the starters in or brings in his core relievers.

[yfinn6]

Since he's been with the Brewers, Schoop reminded me of a more athletic Yuni B at the plate; that would probably be an improvement.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

the Marlins had an OF of Yelich Ozuna and Stanton at the same time.

 

Along with Realmuto at C and Bour at 1B. Yet they were horrible. Pitching still wins championships.

[schmidtac20]

Everyone watching knew Schoop would kill the rally.

the Marlins had an OF of Yelich Ozuna and Stanton at the same time.

 

And a top 5 C. Solid 2B in Gordon. Other good hitters in Bour, Deitrich (assumig they didn't come back in the trades, idk for sure). Can't think of their SS. Yea, not sure they should've blown that all up. Whole different team down there if the Ace P wouldn't have passed away, instead it made them think they didn't have anymore money to get pitching and just gave up.

[NYChez]

DFA Schoop and bring up Sogard.

[yfinn6]

I wonder how many Brewer innings the contact play has killed? If you just stall the 3b a bit you likely don't get a double play there with Schoop running. Would rather have it be first and third w/ one out (or 2nd and third w/ one out) than first and second w/ one out.

 

Got a good feeling about Thames here.

 

Gah, nevermind. Woulda been a run w/out the contact play. Whatever.

[PinaMadness]

[tmwiese55]

100% agree with Finn about the contact play

[schmidtac20]

If the tragedy with Fernandez never happens, they’d probably be a playoff team right now.

[Invader3K]

Why is Thames still starting? Looks lost at the plate right now.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

DFA Schoop and bring up Sogard.

 

Please tell me that should be in blue. Because otherwise ... barf.

[pacopete4]

 

I just think it's kinda junky that they have stuck with Peralta despite his blow-up games, yet really haven't given Woodruff any sort of chance to establish himself in the rotation this year. Pretty curious decision.

 

Tells you what they think of Woodruff.

I know ... that doesn't make the decision any less curious, though. There must be something internal, because based on pure stuff, there aren't many pitchers in the system that have better than Woodruff.

[mtrebs]

That’s not the first time I’ve seen a runner at third with no outs not score because the batter hit right to the third baseman. The one time a strikeout would be better...

[NYChez]

DFA Schoop and bring up Sogard.

 

Please tell me that should be in blue. Because otherwise ... barf.

 

DFA Schoop and replace him with a chair in the batters box (who could potentially work the pitcher or even draw a walk). Is that better?

[wildcat83]

Pitch out on Thames when he happens to be running, then don't throw? Odd sequence.

[schmidtac20]

Never knew it was possible to be this mad about a 3 run inning.

 

Then remembered Schoop and Thames existed.

[82brewcrew82]

I wonder if BA is surprised they pitching to Pina?

Who has also held his own when given the chance at the MLB level. I'm curious what's up too

Well results do matter too. Freddy has had good numbers even with a couple oops games. Woody never seems to make the most of his chances.
