Reds (Burns) vs Cubs (Imanaga): 08/30/26, 6:20 PM

Busch doesn't look as he's capable of two week or so hot streak.  Wondering, after roster expansion, if Ayers comes up and hitting will get some starts at 1B?  Thought I saw something about him playing 1B at Iowa.

Not Votto, the color commentator. The guy seems like he works for the Reds and isn't even trying to hide it. Votto is actually pretty good analysis. 

Jeff Brantley. He's a regular Reds announcer.

After all of Michael's no challenges, that's the one he goes with

[Soul]

I’m glad we got a couple runs off Burns because he looked really sharp there.

Does it matter?  He's slumping again.

Need to drive up his pitch count and get to the Reds bullpen.

Sounds like I'm listening to Reds Sutcliffe.

For all the years I lived in Ohio, I was always stuck with the Reds broadcast when the Cubs played them (re: blackout rules). Thom Brenneman and Jeff Brantley were insufferably awful

God

[Irrelevant Dude]

It was only a matter of time.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Oh my god, go away forever. Please, Jesus

[ILMindState]

That was so predictable 

[UMFan83]

115 games with a home run allowed now is it?

[soccer10k]

Was just thinking how Shota hadn’t given up a HR yet today.

[JBears79]

How close are we to the record?

[Derwood]

always to the bottom of the order hitters. Always

[abuck1220]

I was like “I’d maybe take him out,” and then I was like that’s crazy it’s the 4th inning and he hasn’t given up a run. 

[Soul]

He’s a gas can.  Put a couple logs on the fire and WHOOSH.

Why does it have to be a matter of time? Don’t blind squirrels find acorns?

If he can go 3 innings without giving up a HR you should take that as a win and pull him 

[We Got The Whole 9]

Always some horsefeathers bum

That’s a good take on Brantley.

[chibears55]

Never fail, Imanaga can go 8.2 perfect innings and give up that homerun before the 3rd out 🙄

He’s due for one more tonight yet - we need 6 runs minimum to win I feel
