2021-05-16: Braves (Ynoa) at Brewers (Peralta) [Brewers win, 10-9 -- Offense scores season high 10 runs; Peralta is fantastic, but bullpen & defense give up 9 runs late]

[adambr2]

Avi, my man, did you see any of the previous ABs that inning? Might have been a time to take a pitch on that AB.

[ThisIsMyCrew]

Feyereisen Era to start the day 0.50....to end the day 2.45.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Lo Cain has his average up to .222 and .OPS up to .735 on the year. Hopefully those keep going up.

[yourout]

Williams looks shaky.

[Sir Illo]

Side effect of offense being so bad of late. Our elite relievers don’t get consistent work. And work in an 8-0 game is completely different than 1 or 2 runs leads. Hard to keep them sharp.

 

This is an underrated point. Williams now demonstrating it as well.

[Eye Black]

Well all the games where the Brewers have gotten down early recently certainly lacked the drama of trying to protect this once 8-run lead today.

[folly412]

I went out for a run at 7-0. Think I missed some stuff.

[yourout]

That could be two errors.

[Sir Illo]

What the actual....dudes come on now. Ridiculous. Make a play.

[rickh150]

Get Arcia

[JET15]

Keystone Cops in the middle infield

[adambr2]

Lol is this really happening...?

[Eye Black]

Urias and Wong struggling the past two innings is an understatement. Tough to watch at this point.

[MrTPlush]

Reyes has been an absolute wizard on defense.

[roadcrew3]

I have a lot of hope for Urias and am willing to accept some of his mistakes since he's a young player. But one aspect that is concerning is the carry over a bad play in the field has on his next play. Errors seem to snowball for him which is a confidence issue that I don't know if you grow out of

 

bump

[ThisIsMyCrew]

Reyes making a play!

[folly412]

Somehow Pablo is our best defender and may not even be in the bottom three for worst bats. I think I'd keep him over Peterson and Robinson when their rehab clocks end.

Robertson ... spelling correction.

 

But, I agree with your overall assessment!

[yourout]

Some big pitches by Williams to acuna.

[adambr2]

Acuna has 12 HR and Freeman has 11.

 

I think our club leader has 5. Maybe 6.

[folly412]

Good time for Williams to find his pitch!

[adambr2]

Getting Acuna was huge. It looked like we were ready to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

[roadcrew3]

Acuna has 12 HR and Freeman has 11.

 

I think our club leader has 5. Maybe 6.

 

That's another maddening aspect of this offense is we seem to take the strikeouts that heavy power hitters typically have but then we don't get rewarded with the power. Vogelbach is a great example...it's one thing to hit .200 with 25 HRs during the season, its another to hit .200 with 7 homeruns.

[JET15]

Somehow Pablo is our best defender and may not even be in the bottom three for worst bats. I think I'd keep him over Peterson and Robinson when their rehab clocks end.

 

I wish he'd show a little more power

[Eye Black]

Orlando Arcia hit a walk-off home run today. That’s 7 home runs in 52 Triple-A at bats. Is he going develop into something for the Braves this season, or is he a quintessential 4A player at this point?
