2021-10-11 (NLDS Game #3): Brewers (Peralta) at Braves (Anderson) [Brewers lose, 3-0]

I honestly feel like Cain should come out, not sure how effective he'll be at the plate as shaken up as he probably is.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

That's a catch...right?

 

I'm looking at the rulebook, and I don't think so:

It is not a catch, however, if simultaneously or immediately following his contact with the ball, he collides with a player,

or with a wall, or if he falls down, and as a result of such collision or falling, drops the ball.

 

Makes sense.

[Baldkin]

That's a catch...right?

Nope.

From the rule book:

A CATCH is the act of a fielder in getting secure possession in his hand or glove of

a ball in flight and firmly holding it; providing he does not use his cap, protector, pocket or

any other part of his uniform in getting possession. It is not a catch, however, if

simultaneously or immediately following his contact with the ball, he collides with a player,

or with a wall, or if he falls down, and as a result of such collision or falling, drops the ball

[Bravos Or Bust]

Don't like that rule. That seemed like a clear catch. Even as a Braves fan, I feel a little weird about that being ruled a hit or an error.

[owbc]

Just what this offense needed was JBJ starting game 4!

[MrTPlush]

Cain missed catching a similar ball in Game 1 NLCS 2018…we survived that missed catch.

[KeithStone53151]

Please strike him out Freddy...

[Bravos Or Bust]

Don't worry guys, Duvall will find a way to make a baserunning error here.

[KeithStone53151]

Watch him try a straight steal of home...

It does feel a little iffy, but I suppose the rule helps take away a little subjectivity about when or how a player lost the ball.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Great effort from Lorenzo anyway. There's playoff baseball, and then there's playoff baseball where you know first to score could very well win...

[roadcrew3]

Maybe JBJ will be a spark? Guy has a history of post season success and maybe he just needed to see the stat sheet reset??

 

Trying to be optimistic lol

[HarveysWBs]

Freddy is a freaking gamer.

[MrTPlush]

Peralta once again locks it down after an iffy situation unfolds.

 

Guy has been clutch today.

[ThisIsMyCrew]

Big time pitching by peralta!

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

We got Good Freddy today. If I'm Counsell, I'm hanging with him until he gets into trouble.

[Bravos Or Bust]

Nice pitch by Peralta there.

 

This game feels eerily similar to game 1. Braves are making some good contact and putting runners in position, but can't break through. The longer you all stay in this game, the more confident those hitters will be stepping up against our "bullpen"

[MoreTrife]

Freddy is a freaking gamer.

 

No doubt. Prefer a win but happy with Freddy even at four innings.

[KeithStone53151]

I wonder if Cain will hit here or if they'll ph

[owbc]

Time for Omar to make some hard contact.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

LOL Urias got hit with a pitch that would have been called a strike.

[adambr2]

Please score.

[True Blue Brew Crew]

I know Peralta's pitch count is low, but I really don't want this lineup to see him a 3rd time. I hope he pitches at most through the 5th inning.

 

You keep saying this but Freddy's 3rd time through stats were some of the best in baseball this year...

 

1st PA : .160 OPP BA, .565 OPS, OPS+ 61

2nd PA: .165 OPP BA, .544 OPS, OPS+ 47

3rd PA: .174 OPP BA, ..566 OPS, OPS+ 49

 

He's remarkably consistent no matter which time through the order. And oh btw, he has that same trend throughout his career.

I'm mostly referring to how the Braves are seeing his pitches specifically today. He might normally do fine but I don't have a ton of confidence in him facing these guys a 3rd time.

[Fear The Chorizo]

A bunt is a hit right here...
