4/6 Cubs (Alzolay) vs. Brewers (Peralta) 6:40 PM

[Bertz]

So, this bullpen is horsefeathering good

 

And this lineup is somehow horrible

 

They've been BABIP'd really hard. Coming into tonight a .155 despite being 6th in the league in exit velocity. I'm not too worried, though I certainly don't think it's a great lineup anymore.

I’d rather this lineup face prime Pedro than Peralta and Suter for 9 innings. They never hit them.

Like 6 combined feet away from 3 dongs tonight

“anymore” implies it was a great lineup recently

Do you consider August-ish of 2018 recent? :lol:

 

This bullpen though. Coming into tonight they had struck out a third of the guys they faced and generated a 50% groundballs rate. Those numbers have both gone up. They have walked too many guys (though a lot of that was just opening day), but if you're getting that many K's and grounders you can pretty much walk as many guys as you want.

Fight the whole team Willy, horsefeathers these assholes. That’s like the 4th-5th time they’ve hit us this series including a head shot on Willy.

him getting hit 6 times in the last 11 Brewers games is nuts
