Reds @ Brewers 6-21-19

Gawd...what a walk fest from both clubs.

[Spanky]

I'm not going to feel good until I see Senzel in the lineup tomorrow.

Don't look now, but if they sweep the series they'll be tied for 2nd with Milwaukee..

Oops.. Not quite, but still darn close..

I really hope tonight wasn't a bad bullpen omen. I doubt it though.. 11 run game it's easy to ease up off the gas.. Bowman looked really off tonight..as did Lorenzen..

Lorenzen looks off more than half the time he comes in to pitch.

Exciting yet at the same time wish you wouldn’t have said that

With all the talk of Bell not having a quick enough hook, the Reds used 6 pitchers. How many qould it have been if Bell would have had the desired quickness of the hook? I thought he did it just about right with the luxury of his team scoring 11 runs. Iggy hadn't pitched the last two days and there is an off day Monday. He only threw 5 pitches. It would have been irresponsible to not have him ready to come in late, so bring him in, which saves Lorenzen pitches also. Iggy ought to be able to pitch Sat and Sunday for an inning or less.

Are you Bell's business agent?

Migraine for Senzel. I know those are different for anyone who has them but I’d say he should be good to go by tomorrow night.

[CrackerJack]

Yelich is a freak, having an MVP worthy season, but he couldn't out-duel Jose Iglesias tonight.

Lorenzen looks off more than half the time he comes in to pitch.

That is because half of the time he is a CF being asked to pitch.

Winner Winner chicken dinner

The Reds are now + 54 in RD, the Brewers -7.

That’s a stat that don’t lie.

If we were ahead of the Brewers in the standings but behind them by 62 runs in RD, the FCB of the world would be saying we had no chance to stay ahead of them.

And they would likely be correct.

I disagree. It's one of the most lying stats we have. It does give some fans a feel good moment but I'm a believer in "you are what your record says you are".

I guess it's a baseball geek thing. Why is it that we only hear about Pythag when it comes to baseball? The sport attracts folks who really care about such stuff

Brewers Fans melting down over Dietrich on Twitter whining about how he leans into pitches. Calling him really mean names and wanting him to get drilled in the head next time up. You stay classy Milwaukee.

They do have a point. MLB needs to crack down on this and I said the same thing yrs ago when Craig Biggio did this same act

Reds fans were furious over Chase Utley doing exactly what Dietrich does. I agree with you that the umps needs to enforce this rule more strictly. A player should not be allowed or lean into pitches in order to get on base.
