2019-08-18: Brewers (Anderson) at Nationals (Fedde) [Brewers lose, 16-8 -- Rough start for Chase Anderson w/ 10 ER in just 2.1 IP]

[markedman5]

Last 10 starts for Anderson 2.89 era.......today was the wrong day for a dud.

Yeah, pretty disastrous timing for a 2.1 IP outing from a starter.

[sveumrules]

Since Chase became a Brewer there are 105 pitchers in MLB with at least 400 IP.

 

His 3.73 ERA ranks 29th in the sample.

 

The four guys closest to him on that list; Trevor Bauer, Cole Hamels, James Paxton & Jake Arrieta, make considerably more than 8.5 million.

 

I'm guessing this is very skewed by his excellent 2017. He was basically an ace that year.

 

Most of those guys are skewed by one excellent season...

 

Chase (4.39, 2.74, 3.93, 3.78) hi/lo range 1.65

Bauer (4.26, 4.19, 2.21, 4.12) hi/lo range 2.05

Hamels (3.32, 4.20, 3.78, 3.69) hi/lo range 0.82

Paxton (3.79, 2.98, 3.76, 4.53) hi/lo range 1.55

Arrieta (3.10, 3.53, 3.96, 4.64) hi/lo range 1.54

Bet Gomes could've scored there on Hiura's noodle arm.

[Eye Black]

I guess the “good” news is Hernan Perez should be available to pitch today.

[DuWayne Steurer]

I feel a comeback Brewin'. :D

Glass half full. I like it!

[SomewhereInTime]

Come on rain! Still time to rain this one out!

[trwi7]

Screw it, I want the Nats to score 50. If we're going to lose, lose like you've never lost before and keep me entertained.

RIght? If you lose by 50, it still only counts as one loss. Would be way less demoralizing than if they had lost last night's game, as hard as the offense fought to pull that one out.

[markedman5]

The ball is a joke.......look at Rendon after that last homer......knew he missed it....easily gone

[PinaMadness]

The Nats might score 30 today. I'm not even joking.

 

 

I'll take the under.

Still on the under?

[SomewhereInTime]

Well you can't pull off the greatest comeback in baseball history without being down at least 13 runs first! If there ever was a time it could happen, now is it!

[Bulldogboy]

And the run difference will continue to be less than impressive.

I don't like the game as it's being played this year. Batters should not be rewarded for hitting "pitchers" pitches and making poor contact with homeruns. Maybe that's just my take, but I'm not a fan of the cheapening of the homerun at all.

[phnxcrew]

Stearns should be embarrassed by this pitching staff....what an absolute cluster. But hey, for a few weeks the starters didn't suck!

[DuWayne Steurer]

Down 13-0, just gotta put together a couple nice drives, get in scoring range and put the ball in the endzone a few times. Coach Cooper isn't giving up on this one!

[folly412]

I kind of hope Hernan doesn't do a Chase or AAAAron imitation today.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Gamel isn't giving up. The comeback is on!

[AJOHNSON104]

I didn't think Gamel got all of his either.

[AJOHNSON104]

Leadoff hitter hitting 3rd time in 4th inning and they are down 12. That doesn't happen every day.

I don't think you're in the minority........they basically just put steroids into the ball instead of human beings.......

 

Routine fly balls just flying out of the park every night... ...better find strike out guys because any contact in the air has a good chance of going out.

[ThisIsMyCrew]

Brewers team bullpen era this year ranks 16th in baseball at 4.65.....for reference that same era would’ve ranked 27th last year. The ball is a joke. Mandred is lying. I’m a 20 something wishing baseball would be like it was in the 80s.

[DuWayne Steurer]

I played a fall softball league in Beloit about 6 or 7 years ago at Krueger park. The fences there were about 270 all the way around, and in the fall league there were no designated classes (like A,B,C) for team ranks. They also didn't check bats, so everyone (EVERYONE) was using shaved and rolled 300 dollar DiMarini's and Easton bats, so every game was simply a homer fest. We had 145 pound guys knocking balls 350 feet, and it just wasn't even that fun.

 

This is kinda like that.

 

 

K, I'm gonna stop ranting about this. I'm getting repetitive. BOoooooOOOo on me.
