2021-04-12: Cubs (Alzolay) at Brewers (Peralta) [Brewers win, 6-3 -- Peralta outstanding again w/ 6 IP, 2 H, 1 ER, 10 SO; Offense has a 6-hit, 6-run 6th inning]

[homer]

But yeah if he can't figure out how to be more efficient, he's a 5 - 6 inning guy tops. Like others said...nice 4 -5 guy.

[82brewcrew82]

That's a good point too. I forget how young he is. Some folks on here were ready to write off Burnes a couple years back.

[adambr2]

Brutal AB by Baez.

[Bulldogboy]

Baez looks terrible. He is loosing money by the day if you ask me.

[pacopete4]

Peralta is more than a 5th starter.

[adambr2]

To me Brett Anderson and Houser are our 4/5 in any order. I don't really characterize the other three in any way other than to say obviously Woodruff and Burnes are the furthest along right now.

[82brewcrew82]

So, was the weekend the result of the Cardinals pitching just being that bad?

[adambr2]

If the offense can not go right back in the tank after having just a couple good games that would be great.

[timpep]

Freddy has these guys looking ridiculous trying to hit his stuff right now.

[markedman5]

Please let’s not waste another great start.....please

[homer]

Needed a short inning. Nice job, Freddy

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Struggling to square up Alzolay.

 

Hiura's DP and a few guys with some not ideal 3-ball swings.

[pacopete4]

The Freddy Peralta contract could be a great one.

[adambr2]

Garcia only has a .742 OPS this season? Feels like he's been tagging the ball every game.

[trwi7]

If you're not going to hit him can you at least make him work a little bit so you can get to the bullpen?

[JET15]

JBJ is due for a good AB

[wallus]

Baez, Rizzo or Bryant, which Cub will we be signing this offseason?

[JET15]

JBJ is due for a good AB

 

And he had a very weak one. Disappointed!

[trwi7]

If you're not going to hit him can you at least make him work a little bit so you can get to the bullpen?

 

Guess not.

[adambr2]

Bradley's ABs look horrific. This guy was 12 million dollars?

[markedman5]

Garcia only has a .742 OPS this season? Feels like he's been tagging the ball every game.

 

Started the season real slow......like almost everyone else.

[JET15]

These pitches aren't anywhere close to the zone. Another short inning. Hardly made him work

[wallus]

I thought the book on JBJ was that he was very streaky.

[adambr2]

Recurring theme, but the offense has to be better than this.

[Simba2020]

I still don't really get the Bradley signing. Most of his value is derived by his ability to play CF. He's not being used there enough to justify that contract. Offensively I wouldn't have expected him to be any better than Taylor.
