MAYBE DONT PITCH TO ALONSO -
horsefeathers UMPS another inning ruined with a bad call. Come the horsefeathers on
-
So instead of walking to make the bases loaded, we get a inning ending GIDP
-
Another potential inning changing bad strike called
-
I know Pat is taking this entire road trip off for a mental break or something. Not sure why our broadcasters are always taking time off these days though
-
Also Dansby’s strikeout woes continue. 23 strikeouts in his last 51 AB (45%)
-
Seiya! Nice work. First pitch too
-
3 straight strikeouts on pitches way below the zone. That slider is giving them problems
-
1 pitch, 1 run
-
So sounds like they want to give Steele an extra day of rest between his next 2 starts. He'd be on 5 days rest if he pitches Saturday and then with 2 additional off days on Monday and Thursday, he'd have another 5 days before starting next Friday. I suppose they could insert Stroman during one of those White Sox games if he's healthy but I'm guessing he'd start next Saturday. Friday: Assad Saturday: Steele Sunday: Taillon Tuesday: Hendricks Wednesday: Assad Friday: Steele

Brewers win
-
Rockies take a 6-5 lead in the 10th edit: and brewers quickly tie it back up and are in position to walk it off
-
I just think if it’s anything hamstring related they are going to be super cautious and let it fully heal given it’s the preseason
-
Guessing we won’t see Claypool at all in the preseason now and the best hope is Week 1 return. At least he got a couple weeks of practice in to increase his chemistry with Fields and the offense
-
Rockies tie up Brewers in the 7th
-
Wow thats much higher than I was expecting. I was thinking like 3/$34m or 4/$45m or something like that. I guess if his agent is good he can position this season into a huge deal, but even with this season, I don't see a ton of FA hype around him. We're talking about a guy who was non-tendered (I think) before this season and is making less than his arbitration projection. The great season will raise his value significantly but I don't think he's getting $15-20m a year. But I'm not super good at this stuff so I could be way off

Reds lose. The Cubs for now go from percentage points ahead of the Reds for WC3 to percentage points ahead of the Marlins for WC3.
-
I see that and they've even struggled since the deadline but they made several deadline moves so I see a better team lurking in there whereas the Reds are essentially unchanged but are regressing to what we expected.
-
Will be mildly funny if Mancini's contract prevents us from making a real attempt to lock down Candelario. It shouldn't though so I assume he'll want at least 3 years and the Mancini contract only affects next season.
-
Yeah i was going to make that point too. At this point the regression we've been waiting for all season with the Reds seems to be happening. The Marlins are probably the more formidable foe, though they've been struggling big time too. Brewers just hit 2 straight HRs to take the lead over the Rockies
-
As I posted that the Marlins hit a HR and now lead 5-4 in the 9th
-
Speaking of daily pre-game discussion: Reds and Marlins are tied at 4 heading into the Marlins half of the 9th Rockies are leading the Brewers 4-3 in the 5th We obviously prefer the Reds to lose but with the Marlins just 0.5 games behind us in the long run it doesn't matter who loses that.
-
Using this as a daily discussion thread. There was some talk on Twitter today (yes TWITTER) about how the Cubs end the season in Milwaukee. With the NL Central leader currently lagging behind even WC1 and WC2 right now, there's at least a decent chance that the Brewers and Cubs may already be locked into the 3 and 6 seeds (if they both stay ahead of the pack), with the series determining who gets the division and plays the WC round at their ballpark. Meaning we could see a scenario where Game 162 is played to determine whether the WC round gets played in Milwaukee or in Chicago.
-
Was just thinking about how we were tracking McKinstry’s performance earlier this year as his OPS was in the .850s. Looked up how he’s doing and .193/.228/.293/.520 since the start of June (200 PA)
-
Back to where we were Sunday, percentage points ahead in the WC, 1.5 GB in the Central
