2019-03-29: Cardinals (Flaherty) at Brewers (Peralta) [Brewers lose, 9-5 -- Goldschmidt hits 3 HRs]

[B-Train]

 

 

 

There is more to pitching than just speed. Hicks walked 40 guys in 77 IP, and his ERA was 3.59 which is not even good for a relief pitcher. Dan Jennings and Jacob Barnes were both better than that last year

 

I agree. Would like to see a late inning rally against Miller and Hicks. Need some base runners and walks will do wonders.

[wallus]

Crushed, wow.

[82brewcrew82]

Yeah, hate to have that guy.

[Eye Black]

So I mentioned it earlier, but maybe just walk Goldschmidt?

[phnxcrew]

I’m sure goldschmidt will miraculously hit 60 homers a year now being injected by the cardinals way

[The stache]

You've got to be freaking kidding me. Three home runs for Goldschmidt.

 

We did nothing to improve our pitching staff in the off season, and it's going to bite us in the butt.

[B-Train]

Crushed, wow.

 

IBB that man the rest of the series.

[PinaMadness]

I know Goldy has hit two other home runs tonight against two other pitchers, but Barnes is just hot garbage that shouldn't be on a contending team's roster.

[MDCrew]

Just walk him!!

[topper09er]

Moose has not made 1 good throw the entire game

[markedman5]

The first home run by Goldschmidt wasn't a strike.....but the last 2 were just horrible pitches......and he didn't missi them.

 

Cards have a good team.....and our pen without Corey and JJ is really suspect.

[phnxcrew]

When does the Barnes project end? Pretty sure we have better options. Or are we back to the “we’re behind so we put our worst guy in” philosophy?

[topper09er]

Let's try to keep Barnes out of 1 run games from now on please

[Brew crew 92]

I'm so sick of seeing Jacob Barnes on this roster every single year.

 

His stuff has regressed. Way too hitable.

[BrewCrewBlueDevil]

Barnes down, Houser up?

[Bulldogboy]

I mean what does Jacob Barnes have to do in order for Houser or someone else to be given a decent shot? How can you run him out there expecting something he hasn't shown any ability to do?

[trwi7]

Pretty sure we have better options.

 

Like who? Our bullpen looks pretty bad.

[Ennder]

The first home run by Goldschmidt wasn't a strike.....but the last 2 were just horrible pitches......and he didn't missi them.

 

Cards have a good team.....and our pen without Corey and JJ is really suspect.

It wasn't a strike but it was a pitch he saw 3 or 4 times already in the AB, he was sitting on that pitch.

[topper09er]

Gamel swung at ball 4 on a pretty straight outside FB, relax

[The stache]

These two guys calling the game for the Cardinals tv are just insufferable dbags.

[John Jahahaha]

I know that this is mostly a reaction to but one moment in a season that just started...but woof, Barnes. He has just come to symbolize so much ineptitude for me, crew really needs to get someone else in his spot. There might be slim pickings, but there can't be much worse than he gives on an all-too-regular basis.

[HiAndTight]

Ok, but neither guy was a 21 year old rookie with a 101 average fastball who jumped from A ball to the Big leagues last year.

 

And his WAR was higher than both Barnes and Jennings according to fangraphs.

 

But last year really isn't the point. Again, 21, 101 MPH AVERAGE fastball, jumped from A ball to the big leagues and you're pointing out that his control wasn't perfect next year. I'd say that's probably normal for most guys who make that jump and then pitch in high leverage situations.

 

Which Brewers relievers do you trust moving forwards than Hicks, Reyes and Miller. You've got Hader and then...Hader?

[adambr2]

Gamel swung at ball 4 on a pretty straight outside FB, relax

 

He looks like he came straight from kicking around a hackey-sack on campus in Madison.

[Brew crew 92]

Barnes down, Houser up?

 

How bout Barnes traded

[B-Train]

These two guys calling the game for the Cardinals tv are just insufferable dbags.

 

Dan McLaughlin is the PBP guy and yes he is enough to work up a good barfing listening to him spout off when things are going well for his birdies.
