Great? No. He is very lucky through 6. When many balls put in play and not a hit, that's very low BABIP. Don't tell anyone under .200 BABIP is pitching great.

 

He pitched great. 3 Hits and 0 runs through 6. He's not going to strike everybody out.

Perez was great through 6, but the way he pitched in the 7th I think he deserved the 4 runs he's charged with.

I can absolutely understand and accept a RP allowing an inherited run or two to score. It happens. But Harperm unfortunately, didn't have it tonight. Again, it happens. But Perez still didn't deserve all of those runs with how well he pitched.

Perez had 13 swinging strikes in 78 pitches through 6 innings. I’m not a math expert, but that’s a pretty good ratio. What he lacked tonight was a put away pitch at times. That said, his season K rate is over 8 per 9.

Come on people, Perez was awesome through 6! He ran out of gas and maybe should have been pulled earlier. And maybe Harper didn't have it tonight. But let's not pretend that wasn't a quality start!

IMO it depends on the type of contact a pitcher allows if they aren't striking out a bunch of guys. If Perez was getting a bunch of soft groundballs and pop-ups, that's good; but if there was lots of hard contact, then that wasn't quite as good. Strikeouts are great but they aren't the be all and end all.

Schoop is an interesting study. The kid is still only 27. Overall, his numbers this season are very close to his career year of 2017. His defense has been excellent, except for a handful of bad errors where he tried too hard to make a few plays he probably shouldn't have.

But some think he is disappointing. [shaking my head]. And be appears to be a good and well liked teammate.

Unfortunately, he may not be around in 2020 due to finances and rotation singings/re-signings, etc. But I'd love to have him back next season were it possible.

I like him as a 7-8 hitter on a good team. I think he'd be exposed as a middle of the lineup hitter on a bad team.
