2020-08-20: Brewers (Woodruff) at Twins (Berrios) [Brewers lose, 7-1]

[Eye Black]

The good news is the Brewers have the Pirates tomorrow. The bad news is Pirates starter Chad Kuhl has a 3.21 ERA, 1.00 WHIP, and a 11.6 K/9 so far this season.

This team is good enough to hang around the wild card race with so many teams making it in but we aren't a real championship threat with this lineup.

[brewers888]

As great as Woodruff is he has not been sharp at all the last few times out.

[pacopete4]

I think I would keep Mathias over Holt at this point.

[brewers888]

Holt has been a solid on base guy his whole career so I would keep him but he has been terrible.

[BruisedCrew]

One thing we can’t complain tonight is failing to hit with RISP.

[pacopete4]

Back to Appleton Perdomo. Much to work on.

Almost anyone could shut down the Brewers these days, including Kuhl, who I think has had some good games against the Brewers in the past. But, he has only pitched 14 innings this season and gave up 3 runs in 5 innings in his last start. I wouldn’t be shocked if the Brewers get a hit against him before the 5th inning.

Yep. Tons of potential, but not sure how patient they'll be with him. Toronto ran out of patience before even putting him in AA. Suppose it's time for Wahl or Feyereisen to get their second chance.

[markedman5]

Strange that they called up a guy who has never been able to consistently throw strikes in the minors.

 

Yeah the error hurt him but he isn’t a major league pitcher.....at least not yet.

[timpep]

This is pathetic. Makes it even worse than the inning would be over if Sogard could field a groundball hit right at him.

[Eye Black]

Well the Brewers gave back their run differential gain from last night...

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Very glad to have the Twins off the schedule.

 

9 of the next 13 against the Pirates/Tigers, and 10 of those 13 at home. That's as favorable a stretch as you can get. Shooting for at least 8-5, which would put you at 19-17 coming into Craigtember. I'd feel real good about a playoff shot at that point.

In other news, the Padres become the first team in MLB history to hit grand slams in four consecutive games.

If the Brewers are going to make a run, this is where they do it....

The only reason no one else has never done it is because everyone else respects the unwritten rules.....

[MrTPlush]

Perdomo will likely never be a reliable MLB pitcher barring a big change. Dude has no command...and never has. As a relief pitcher that won’t cut it, especially with smarter MLB hitters.

 

If he ever becomes something I doubt it is with us. As a competing team there really isn’t patience for a wild thrower like him. Classic guy with a bunch of perceived potential, but has such an issue with command he is far far away from actually realizing that potential.

[dlk9s]

Maybe he just needs glasses.

Well played!
