2021-06-28: Cubs (Hendricks) at Brewers (Peralta) [Brewers win, 14-4 -- Crew breaks tie with 10-run 8th inning]

[stoutdude04]

Gotta get to the 9th anyway. At this pace...may not happen.

[willie key]

Throw another fastball

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Williams lookss gassed. Velo looks down from earlier in the inning...

[adambr2]

Though, if it gets to the top of the order I could see them using Hader and I could see the reasoning.

 

Hader gets the 9th, there isn't really any other reasoning from them involved.

[TURBO]

One of the reasons why I just can't see Peralta being more than a #3 type starter. He gets way to amped up for a big start and everything is all over the place and it takes him 1-3 innings to settle in and by that time he is already at a high pitch count. Peralta to me I have no confidence knowing if he will have a good start or a bad start and I would be leery on starting him late in the year.

This is a common take on Peralta among Brewer fans. Now after 6 innings and 94 pitches he has only allowed 2 hits and has struck out 8 Cubs, after such a terrible start to this game. Freddy has just turned 25 and has a brilliant future ahead of him. I enjoy following his starts and might be the most”entertaining” starter the Brewers have. If it wasn’t for Woody’s unbelievable start, Freddy might be the Brewers best starter this year. He has the 6th lowest WHIP (0.86), the 8th highest WAR (3.1), 4th in Ks/9 (12.7), has only given up 7 HRs, 37 hits in 81 IP, and 8th in ERA (2.11) in the entire MLB. I don’t understand how much better some people here think he can pitch?

 

Just like burnes, unable to cope with the bright lights.

Danger zone

[wallus]

Gotta take Devin out, at least for pitch count reasons.

[Bulldogboy]

Go get him Craig.

[adambr2]

They've got to go get Williams now. He's going to blow this otherwise.

[stoutdude04]

Umm...leaving him in seems not wise. He cant locate.

[LouisEly]

Though, if it gets to the top of the order I could see them using Hader and I could see the reasoning.

Looks like it just did.

[Bulldogboy]

Burnes can't go on 4 days rest but Williams can throw 35 pitches in an inning??

[TURBO]

CC will not pull Williams, he is his 8th inning guy.

[adambr2]

Cool, so I guess we'll just wait til 1 batter too late.

[folly412]

28 pitches, walking the entire waiver wire, bases loaded, Richards ready...

[wOOgiE22]

Not even close!

[TURBO]

It's to the point that I can't stand watching Williams pitch.

 

What a complete turn-around from last year when he was as automatic as there has ever been!

[willie key]

Just throw all fastballs. Cripes

[pacopete4]

Makes your really appreciate Hader and his consistency when you see how Williams has gone from last year to this year.

[Bulldogboy]

Richards hasn't been good either but jeez.

[Jopal78]

It's to the point that I can't stand watching Williams pitch.

 

What a complete turn-around from last year when he was as automatic as there has ever been!

 

Maybe he was a Spider Tac guy? He’s playing with his fingers all night

[wallus]

Happy that Devin got out of the inning but he is for sure unavailable tomorrow and might not be okay for Wednesday.

[adambr2]

Absolutely dumb non-move by Counsell. Nothing but pure dumb luck that it isn't 5-4. Sometimes you win in Vegas. That's all this was.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Wow. Cannot believe he got out of that. Need a run or 4.

[Bulldogboy]

Counsell playing with fire. Brewers seem to be treating this whole series kinda like whatever happens happens. Um if you sweep these dudes with your three best guys you are 6 games up on 4th of July. Where is the urgency??
