2019-04-01: Brewers (Davies) at Reds (Roark) [Brewers win, 4-3 -- Braun drives in go ahead run in 9th]

[wildcat83]

If your going to shift hard why don’t you pitch to it? No point to shift and then pound sinkers on the outside corner that are almost impossible to pull.

[Brew crew 92]

Even if result bad, good to see Jesus going oppo.

[Zad Fnark]

He hit it good --just bad luck.

[82brewcrew82]

Reds attendance these days is getting more and more depressing every April.

 

Weird how their half-assed attempt to contend isn't leading to better attendance.

 

If they were crappy I’d get it, but it’s opening week and they have made significant improvements in the off season.

I think that their significant improvement is significantly over hyped.

Cubs down 4 after 1 .....

Reds home opener 2018: 43,878

Reds home opener 2019: 44,049

 

Reds 1st Sunday 2018: 10,355

Reds 1st Sunday 2019: 18,737

 

So far, so good.

 

Three home games into the season is probably a little early to say if the Reds efforts to go from "literal worst team in MLB over the last five years" to "maybe somewhat respectable" will lead to increased attendance or not, but I'd imagine if they win some games people will come out & if they don't they won't.

[82brewcrew82]

Turned that one nicely.

[wildcat83]

Perez under that hood at 2nd base and Moose bats. In game platoon.

[Eye Black]

Cubs down 4 after 1 .....

1st inning included four hits, one walk, and four earned runs against the recently extended Kyle Hendricks.

[MrTPlush]

Grandal finally manages a hit and Grandal doesn’t even get credit via Brian Anderson.

[Eye Black]

Nice to see Grandal rope one down the line.

[Zad Fnark]

I thing having that record hanging over him has Yelich trying too hard.

[xisxisxis]

Ok, so was I the only one who saw

 

"In Play, No out"

 

during Grandal's PA and thought the Reds committed their first error?

Two errors in the inning. Looks like all of the runs were unearned according to the box score.

 

Baez with one error. I have him in our Mendoza league at work.

[ntretts]

Anyone else getting slightly annoyed by Rock saying “check this out” on every single replay?

[MrTPlush]

When can we get a better SS?

[Eye Black]

Arcia has some of the worst at bats I’ve ever seen from someone paid to play baseball.

Yeah, my fault... misread the box score.

[topper09er]

Woodruff has had better ABs than Arcia this year

[TURBO]

Arcia has some of the worst at bats I’ve ever seen from someone paid to play baseball.

 

For sure.

 

I really want to be positive with this kid, but he just doesn't look like a hitter. He is still so young, time to figure things out, but will it be with the Brewers?

Arcia the first overall pick?

[Oxy]

I would have been happy if Arcia did anything other than wave at the low and away slider in the dirt. If Roark would have dotted the fastball on the corner and Arcia watched it for strike 3 I think I woulda been okay with that, considering everybody knew the low and away slider was coming. Except for him.

[PinaMadness]

Cain makes Votto pay.

[Montezuma]

Yellich with 2 guys on, this is the moment

[topper09er]

Error on a dropped foul ball - the only way to throw a perfect game while still committing an error
