Bring on the Reds Thread

Good to see Ortiz back. Hammy must not have been serious.

O-O after 2

Another poor start from Peralta.

Tough ending. Tying run thrown out at home for the second out of the 9th, and make the final out on a pop-upped bunt.

"Milwaukee finished 3 for 8 with runners in scoring position. Adding to the frustration was not being able to make more out of the Reds’ five errors and eight walks issued."

Freddy not doing very good lately, again the bats let us down. Oh well get them back tomorrow.

Today's line up, Koenig pitching

0-0 after 4.5 innings, hope the Crew gets something going in the bottom of the 5th

Ortiz homers in the 5th, 3-0 Crew, still batting

Crew still 3-0 going into the 9th. Need 3 outs to wrap this one up.

Reds get one in 9th, Crew wins 3-1 

With only 4 hits, Crew wins this one on Ortiz's 3 run HR, with some great pitching as well as some stellar defensive play.

This team has been a joy to watch this year. Too bad they didn't have Snoop in the booth an inning later for the big bomb!

Fathers day line up, Colin Rea pitching:

Beginning to not like Murphy using Bauers so much.  Why didn't he pinch run for him on Friday night??  A faster runner would have scored instead of getting thrown out at the plate for about the 5th or 6th time this season.

Bauers is also 1 for 12, an .083 average against Montas in his career.  But the Brewers have a 60.6% chance of winning according to ESPN.

Man that was a great game.  Perkins' throw to home to end it was an instant classic.  Conjuring another 16.

Spent the afternoon at daughters for fathers day. Was pleasantly surprised when I got home to see the Crew won this one. Sounds like it was kind of a tense game until the end. Regardless, the Crew prevailed. Keep winning series and we will be looking good come the fall. Off to face the not so good Angels tomorrow.

Also, sounds like Contreras may have strained his neck on that throw home to end it? The replay I saw did not look good. Currently listed as day to day. Hope he's OK

That throw from Perkins was a thing of beauty! What a way to end the game!!!

So long as there are no long term issues with this, it may be a blessing in disguise. Conventional wisdom is that you never want to have your starting catcher out of the game for more than a day or two, but I think Contreras would really benefit from a short rest. He’s really struggled at the plate lately.

Not including today’s game, since May 17th, he’s hitting .216/.250/.333/.583 over the last 26 games and 111 AB.

He’s now played in 70 of Milwaukee’s 71 games., Murphy really needs to give him a day off on occasion. Asking a catcher to play 155+ games is a bit excessive.
