2019-04-03: Brewers (Peralta) at Reds (Castillo) [Brewers win, 1-0 -- Peralta pitches a gem ~ 8.0 IP, 2 H, 0 BB, 11 K]

Day games during the work day are painful...

 

Retirement can't get here soon enough.

 

Drinking helps. Side benefit is that you'll be asked to retire

I like Pina.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Nice little chunk of hitting by Manny there.

[jjfanec]

I like Pina.

 

Our catching tandem is great. So nice having a back up catcher who can hit and play defense.

Fixed it for you.

 

I mean, Piña can hit about as well as one can reasonably expect a glove-first catcher to hit, but his 87 OPS+ sure is't going to win him any hardware. But, I'll grant you, for a backup catcher, you couldn't ask for more.

Gamel just glides in the outfield. Very underrated pickup, imo.

[homer]

That last out was on a curve ball. Curious to see how much he throws non-fast balls this year.

[adambr2]

Lefties are really having a hard time laying off Castillo's change in the dirt.

[adambr2]

Gameday showed that pitch to Votto as perfectly placed at the bottom of the zone.

lol

 

yup, I think you may be right...

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Freddy at 48 pitches through 4 innings. Completely different pitcher from what we saw last week. Efficient Freddy is the best Freddy. Given the state of the pen and who is down today, I hope they let him roll.

[adambr2]

Bench Arcia right now. Unacceptable.

 

You aren't nearly good enough to be dogging it down the line Orlando. Unbelievable.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Oof. That is bad.

[bigredrobbo]

Yeah - Perez time, after that brain fart.

[ThisIsMyCrew]

Bad look for Arcia there....would’ve easily reached if he ran.

[trwi7]

Disgusting effort by Arcia.

[Underachiever]

Gamecast doesn't indicate how Aguilar got to second. Anybody know?

[BigDaddy1974]

Inexcusable. He’s dogged it down the line a couple of times already this season. No room for that. Nip it in the bud.

Fair to point out it's 60 degrees today, a day game, and there are a lot more people in attendance.

But how does it compare to what the Brewers drew against the Orioles on April 2, 1979?

[tmwiese55]

Great to see Freddy bounce back from that first start. only 58 pitches through 5. Maybe can squeeze 7 innings out of him but 3rd time through is coming up soon. Could really use a couple badger mutual insurance runs without Hader today

[OldSchoolSnapper]

That ad makes me laugh. Moose wouldn't be my first choice for a dramatic reading. And I really wonder how familiar he is with Wisconsin Avenue, and it's big stretch IMO that he dreams about parading down it, lol.

[bigredrobbo]

Castillo wants no part of Yeli. Not a huge revelation, but something that'll be coming for a while I think.
