IU Scott Posted July 25, 2023 Report Share Posted July 25, 2023 After 1 the Reds down 1-0 at the Brewers. EDLC was robbed of a home run in the first by their center fielder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted July 25, 2023 Report Share Posted July 25, 2023 For some reason I he Reds keep getting hosed by the he plate ump. Tonight we have had 3 batters called out on strikes on pitches 3 inches off the plate. Our pitchers don't get the same call because Ashcraft had the guy struck out but didn't get the call. Brewers just tied the game at 2 in the bottom of the 6th. For some reason we just can't hit the Brewers pitchers even the mediocre ones. Their pitcher tonight has a 4.59 ERA but only could score 2 against him in 6 innings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their pitcher tonight has a 4.59 ERA but only could score 2 against him in 6 innings One of those strikeouts was against Benson on a 3-2 pitch and wasn't close. It would have been runners on 1st and 2nd and no outs. Next batter EDLC hit a homer which should have been a 3 run homer. Also Votto has to be benched because he is 2-32 since the break Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted July 25, 2023 Report Share Posted July 25, 2023 Reds pitchers can't do anything easy. The Brewers had had runners on in every inning and in scoring position every inning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted July 25, 2023 Report Share Posted July 25, 2023 Going to the 9tj tied at 2. 3 times the Brewers had had 2nd and 3rd and one out and didn't score. Last one was in the bottom of the 8th. Through 8 innings Reds pitchers has thrown 170 pitches and Brewers 106 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted July 25, 2023 Report Share Posted July 25, 2023 Votto is 16-88 8hr, 21rbi, 29K's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted July 25, 2023 Report Share Posted July 25, 2023 Reds lose 3-2 with a walk off single by Yelich. Once again a leadoff walk kills you. Diaz walked the leadoff hitter on 4 pitches, Winker single and the Yelich single. Two of the Brewers runs were off of a leadoff walk. Reds pitchers walked 7 and Brewers only walked 1. The Reds batters were to aggressive and didn't work the pitchers at all. In two innings the Brewers got through an inning on 6 and 5 pitches. Once again the difference between these two teams is the bullpen. Their closer came in and got a 1,2,3 innings where our closer couldn't get an out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted July 25, 2023 Report Share Posted July 25, 2023 2-9 vs Brewers 1-5 Braves 0-3 vs Yankees Against the rest of the league we are pretty good. 3-0 vs Rangers 3-0 vs Astros 3-0 vs Arizona Also Brewers is 2 games below .500 against the rest of the league but is 12 games over vs the NL Central Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rico Posted July 25, 2023 Report Share Posted July 25, 2023 (edited) Bench Votto. Trade Diaz.  Milwaukee leads the NL Central despite ranking last in the National League in OPS, slugging, on-base percentage and batting average. Brewers pitchers have the NL’s third-lowest ERA at 3.93. Edited July 25, 2023 by rico Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btownqb Posted July 25, 2023 Report Share Posted July 25, 2023 Please never trade Diaz. He's the first one I'd lock up long term. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people are ridiculous talking about how much worse that Diaz has been this year. It is people who just go off of analytics and not the true stats. Everyone is saying how we need starting pitching but the offense is what we have lost against Milwaukee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understood him sitting that game a couple of days ago... But last night, amongst the rumors? 1st game of a massive series. It was interesting at minimum, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btownqb Posted July 25, 2023 Report Share Posted July 25, 2023 Ashcraft is avg 6IP over his last 5 starts.. 2.10ERA 1.26WHIP If you truly ever get Greene, NL going as Ace (ish) guys they project to be.. I understand that night catch some flak, but HG in first 100IP, as a 22/23 yr old, is a 4.25ERA... if it ever gets to consistently below 3.80.. Anyways, if Abbott/Ashcraft end up as your "4-5" guys down the road, mercy, that should excite us as Reds fans, right? Or even if they were your 3-4 guys... and maybe a Rhett Lowder/Brandon Williamson are your 5s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is do they have enough to get by the Braves in that time span? Or even the Dodgers?  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
