2019-09-19: Padres (Lucchesi) at Brewers (Lyles) [Brewers win, 5-1]

[adambr2]

Too bad that wasn't Matt Garza fielding that little chopper from Braun. Ball would have wound up in the 16th row.

[willie key]

Did Cain get hurt again?

[shanedog19]

Thames has looked pretty terrible lately.

[HarveysWBs]

Did Cain get hurt again?

 

Balky left ankle now, apparently

[adambr2]

Why do all the Padre pitchers have great stuff but horrible numbers?

[willie key]

Thames has looked pretty terrible lately.

 

 

Sometimes I think Thames just says I’m going to swing at this pitch no matter what

[willie key]

I’m worried about this inning. You never know what peralta you get. Counsell needs to have a quick hook

[tmwiese55]

I think Hosmer had a clean single of Claudio last night. Might be part of the reason not going to him. If I'm remembering correctly anyway, didn't double check

 

I really hope Counsell isn't making decisions off one AB sample sizes. He also had a bomb off RHP Lyles last AB. Hosmer has a .635 OPS vs lefties this year and. 666 for his career. I'm glad it worked out, though.

 

Generally agree. I could see a wider logical argument about hitters seeing relievers back to back days or multiple times though. Similar to the 3rd time through the lineup talk. I'm sure people talked about in regards to JJ and the Dodgers last year. But yea I generally agree. I was just stuck on a call for awhile with time to kill and looked up Claudio/Hosmer stats and Hosmer is 2/9. That includes last night.

 

Obviously a good choice though, seems we have good Freddy today

[Brew crew 92]

I wouldn’t worry about Peralta, I’d say he’s been lights out now for some time.

[adamds22]

Sure would be nice to continue to get outings like this from Freddie here on out.

Pitching has been winning us a lot of games lately.

We have a great pitching staff!

[jason21nl]

Speaking of pitching...the Padres seem to have a serious bullpen

[Brew crew 92]

If we could hit a little, we’d never lose.

[adambr2]

5 innings. It's been 5 innings since the end of his last really bad stretch.

 

I like Peralta a lot. When he's right, he can be as good as anyone in that pen. But he looked like he was emerging as a late inning option in July for a stretch and then regressed very badly to the point where we had to send him back down. He's starting to put it together again, but let's give it some time.

[long ball]

If this score holds are 3-1 I wonder how they'll try to piece together the last 3 innings. Pomeranz up for the 7th inning. Pomeranz for 2? Josh for 2? Suter in the 8th?

 

Would be nice to have 1 of those 3 completely fresh for tomorrow.

The Braves of the 90's had a great pitching staff. You have a very loose definition of great.

[HarveysWBs]

We’ll take that!

[willie key]

If we could hit a little, we’d never lose.

 

 

It really does suck that Yelich is out. Or I would be supremely confident these last ten games

[long ball]

Well maybe they'll all be fresh for tomorrow lol

[markedman5]

Little league homer for Grisham!

[PinaMadness]

That was interesting.

[PinaMadness]

Three of our runs have been gifts.

[adambr2]

Great piece of hitting by the "terrible" Trent Grisham.

[yfinn6]

Great piece of hitting by the "terrible" Trent Grisham.

 

Are people really calling him terrible?
