Hey, his ass wasn't 1-6 for you in the postseason.

u/Bobby12many Milwaukee Brewers 1d ago

LOL(crying)

u/A-Money-Lover 1d ago

Crazy. I thought he was washed but here we are.

21

u/Jakk55 Tampa Bay Devil Rays 1d ago

He was. Rays pitching staff are miracle workers.

21

u/Just-in-themiddle Milwaukee Brewers 17h ago

Not to say you guys don’t have an amazing pitching lab, just that I don’t think I’d say a guy is washed after a half season of rough outings

u/radsloth44 New York Mets 11h ago

I think what we learned is the Mets pitching model works for others, but not him. Happens a lot across MLB, really isn’t a huge L. We’ve had just as many success stories.

u/pepperouchau Milwaukee Brewers 15h ago

And they were mostly with the lolmets

u/oogieball Dumpster Fire • New York Mets 23h ago

Another miracle. Hurray.

u/OffMyEricDickerson Los Angeles Dodgers 1d ago

He has a 0.81 ERA in his last 8 starts lol

u/Frosty_Dimension5646 New York Yankees • New York Yankees 15h ago

It’s funny how everyone predicted the Rays getting his career back on track.

22

u/korn_cakes33 Washington Nationals 1d ago

Is that good?

32

u/OffMyEricDickerson Los Angeles Dodgers 1d ago

Not for the hitters facing him

u/Gusanito99 Tampa Bay Rays 1d ago

Imagine telling a Mets fan this three months ago

41

u/andrewgroans New York Mets 1d ago

I can promise you, we’re not surprised in the slightest.

23

u/TheRealSkipShorty New York Mets 1d ago

I'm not surprised. He's been good before us and a coaching staff like the Rays would figure out what was wrong before the plane landed

91

u/yomama1211 Tampa Bay Rays 1d ago

Imagine telling a RAYS fan this at the deadline lmao

52

u/carasc5 Tampa Bay Rays 1d ago

Rays do this so often that I would not have been shocked

21

u/PiquantPanda777 Tampa Bay Rays 1d ago

0% shocked. This is what Rays pitching coaches do best. It’s actually incredible how quickly they tweak someone into something special.

u/cassinonorth Tampa Bay Rays 1d ago

I went to go find the thread in our sub when we traded for him and it was mostly, "we'll probably fix him, good trade".

1

u/masonacj Atlanta Braves 16h ago

Wasn't he absolutely awful in his first couple starts with Tampa too?

3

u/carasc5 Tampa Bay Rays 15h ago

It takes time to change mechanics

10

u/DegenGamer725 Tampa Bay Rays 1d ago

idk, I had confidence that Snyder could fix him

4

u/Gusanito99 Tampa Bay Rays 1d ago

Touché

8

u/foomits Tampa Bay Rays 17h ago

We were actually pretty high on him. We have a pretty blind acceptance we will fix anything that is wrong with any pitcher.

4

u/yomama1211 Tampa Bay Rays 16h ago

No we weren’t I was here when it happened lol

7

u/foomits Tampa Bay Rays 16h ago

Yea, im also old enough to remember two months ago.

Some of the most upvoted comments from the acquisition post on our sub.

This dude is a half year removed from a 2.7 ERA. Ya his stats are bad this year but he’s on the Mets and they can’t manage pitching. This is 100% a decent size upgrade to our staff without giving up anything major

Big time move. Preferred him to Skubal over price tag anyway. Curious to see what we're sending. Get a bat or two, and maybe a relief arm. House money. Let's go

I like this a lot given the return, we basically gave up nothing considering our farm depth, but I will miss gary gill hill

The number 1 post on the r/baseball acquisition thread

The Rays will probably completely turn his season around, they just have a way with pitching

Plenty of people were high on this trade.

1

u/yomama1211 Tampa Bay Rays 16h ago

Are you also going to take the comments from the first few games he pitched where he was giving up 5+ runs every start lol

u/yomama1211 Tampa Bay Rays 15h ago

Even John Romanos article this morning expresses the feeling of how much doubt we had acquiring him. Yeah a top voted comment here or there but idk if that makes it the dominant opinion.

Even if it was dominant opinion a large contingent of people were still weary

u/ForsakenRacism New York Mets 1d ago

Idk he was dog shit on the Mets so i don’t get your point

u/Luminous_Otter Milwaukee Brewers 1d ago

Freddy knew not to show out for them big market bozos

4

u/angryjew Seattle Mariners 23h ago

He might be a problem for you guys lol

28

u/fishdude89 Milwaukee Brewers 22h ago

When Wild Bill gotta tee off on his homie in Game 7

11

u/WIN011 Milwaukee Brewers 20h ago

Would be kind of funny if we face the Rays and have to deal with Rasmussen and Freddy both.

24

u/anewexperience123 1d ago

I already said it in a different thread, but rays uniforms are amazing

56

u/theDOC70R Milwaukee Brewers 1d ago

So happy to see Freddy doing well!

1

u/aaronwhite1786 Bernie 14h ago

Fuck yeah! Forever one of my favorite Brewers pitchers. Maybe I should trade back for him in MLB The Show...

20

u/Pillownanners Milwaukee Brewers 1d ago

Not even surprised

u/Remarkable_Clock_736 Milwaukee Brewers 1d ago

Fastball Freddy is still the 👑

33

u/yomama1211 Tampa Bay Rays 1d ago

We’re run so well man

25

u/WhoDatBrow Houston Astros 22h ago

Rays/Brewers is a dream World Series for neutrals because it's two small market teams that have been run well for so long and in that sense "deserve" a title but just haven't been able to get one. Gonna suck for whoever loses that though.

1

u/Kalel42 Milwaukee Brewers 7h ago

The Matt Arnold World Series is the dream...

20

u/Seanizonfire Atlanta Braves 1d ago

I want you guys to win it all so bad

2

u/angershark Toronto Blue Jays 14h ago

75% chance the non-playoff team fandoms get a result they want.

9

u/retroanduwu24 New York Yankees 1d ago

Rays gotta extend him

u/Forward-Ease-4801 Cleveland Guardians 23h ago

Not a tough loss for the Gaurdians. Lots of well hit balls and well pitched. They are showing they belong so far. Going to be a great series in Cleveland.

4

u/angryjew Seattle Mariners 23h ago

Always loved this guy, great to see him shine like this when it counts. Would be crazy to see him go against his old team.

5

u/RapsareChamps_Suckit Toronto Blue Jays • Paper Bag 1d ago

I want real posts! from real users!

3

u/angershark Toronto Blue Jays 14h ago

They should just start Freddy Peralta every night, then.

1

u/Kalel42 Milwaukee Brewers 7h ago

Why wouldn't they do this? Are they stupid?

4

u/_cartyr New York Yankees 17h ago

Crazy to think if Jose grounds that ball the rays would be down 2-0 going to Cleveland

4

u/K20BB5 Philadelphia Phillies 14h ago

remarkable how little attention that has gotten on this sub 

1

u/Mountain_Till_5868 Tampa Bay Rays 1d ago

Go rays!

1

u/eb12se4nt-z13ow-97g0 Tampa Bay Devil Rays 23h ago

Remember the post that said he was cooked after 4 starts? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

1

u/Radiant-Law5209 15h ago

Peralta’s on fire

1

u/ShadowGuyinRealLife 15h ago

It's a great job for the whole team. You can be a great pitcher and still lose if your fielders have butterfingers. Freddy did great, but don't forget everyone else.

1

u/Brady_boy_26 13h ago

Lets Go Rays

1

u/Kalel42 Milwaukee Brewers 7h ago

We miss you Freddy and wish you nothing but the best unless we meet in the next round.

u/DependentRide1357 1d ago

u/Bersho Chicago Cubs 14h ago

Freddy Peralta you are a Chicago Cub! (pls)

u/JasonYaya Milwaukee Brewers 9h ago

Mets almost cost him millions this offseason after his time there. Rays to the rescue!
