2021-09-08: Phillies (Gibson) at Brewers (Peralta) [Brewers win, 4-3 -- Escobar go-ahead HR proves the difference; Crew cuts magic number to 10]

[willie key]

So if Burnes gets rocked in his last 2-3 starts of the season is he out of the rotation too?

 

 

Crissakes. What do you think dude

If hate to get your take on this one… scares me too much.

 

 

You got my take. Go back and figure it out

 

It’s pretty damn simple.

[wibadgers23]

Will Bradley:

 

A) Strike out

B) Ground out weakly

C) Foul out

[Underachiever]

Cmon ump, give JBJ a break!

[yourout]

Dude flat out cant hit.

I'd rather have a pitcher up.

[Joseph Zarr]

Will Bradley:

 

A) Strike out

B) Ground out weakly

C) Foul out

 

You forgot D)

Prospect Pundits: “The Brewers have a bottom 5 system.”

 

Brewers Farm System: “Here’s a dude ranked like 4th or 5th in our system that slings it from the left side and throws an exploding slider paired with a high-90s crooked fastball.”

 

So very true. System is always under appreciated. A ton of young talent beginning to unveil themselves.

[yourout]

JBJ

1 for 16 and 3 for 30.

[rickh150]

Well that settles it. Ashby has firmly grabbed the playoff spot from Peralta.

 

Let’s just see how Peralta does in his next, what, four outings. Same for the rest of the lineup, rotation, and bullpen. No need to make absolute statements a month out, especially for this team with daily injuries and surprisingly great play for long stretches from role players.

It is pretty comical. Unfortunately, there’s no accountability for those idiots that do the rankings. They’re like the mock draft predictors and draft graders that look foolish just about every year.

[titletownking]

I don’t want to beat a dead horse… but… is this one of the worst seasons we’ve ever witnessed from a hitter? I can’t remember many worse than this. JBJ can’t seem to do much right.

[82brewcrew82]

That pitch fooled the ump.

[Eye Black]

Where in the world did the first pitch to Harper miss?

[Joseph Zarr]

So ump calls that first pitch a Ball but the opening pitch 9" outside the zone a strike to JBJ? Talk about a Star's strikezone.

[timpep]

Hot takes and snark aside, I wouldn't be shocked if the Brewers did some playoff trickery with the starters and have a 1-2 inning "opener" before Peralta comes in.

[yourout]

Plate ump has been inconsistent as heck.

 

Or just plain bad.

[jjfanec]

Seriously with some of the strikes called against us how is that pitch to Harper a ball?

[NYChez]

I don’t want to beat a dead horse… but… is this one of the worst seasons we’ve ever witnessed from a hitter? I can’t remember many worse than this. JBJ can’t seem to do much right.

His OPS+ of 39 is the worst in franchise history, “exceeding” Mike Matheny’s 1996 and Tim Johnson’s 1973 OPS+ of 44.

We are better off with peralta being good than any of this stuff

[yourout]

That pitch fooled the ump.

 

It's happened a lot in this one.

Will be interesting to see the ump scorecard on this one.

Is he in danger of not being on playoff roster if Taylor comes back

[rickh150]

Brewers have many great options to pitch, for sure. More quality options than ever….

[NYChez]

If you were off the grid the past week and asked to match a Brewer pitching line with the starting pitcher, you’d likely get it wrong.

[Joseph Zarr]

Wow. NOT easy to double up Realmuto. Heck of a pitch. Comes in with a Curve out of nowhere down and Low? Wunderbar.

It’s crazy when you compare it to our other playoff teams.

 

They have a legit chance this year

Was wondering that myself. I'm guessing he makes it just for the late game defense.
