2019-07-01: Brewers (Houser) at Reds (Mahle) [Brewers win, 8-6 -- After just one hit through 6 innings the Brewers bat around in a 5-run 7th inning]

[TJseven7]

3 pitch inning... that'll save the BP a bit.

[markedman5]

56 pitches through 5 scoreless......that will work.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Counsell is being a dingus. I have no problem with Bell asking for clarification.

[LouisEly]

Through 4IP, Mahle with 70 pitches, Houser with 53.

3-pitch inning for Houser, now 56 pitches through 5. Thanks for helping out with the bullpen rest Cincy!

[willie key]

Pittsburgh is terrible

[Brew crew 92]

Stearns values the Organizational depth too much, so probably won’t be seeing Freitas anytime soon. This team needs an offensive shake-up, Freitas, Dubon, Grisham, take your pick.

 

None of those guys are going to make that much of a difference. You want an offensive shake up?? Go get a bat in a trade..a BIG bat.

 

I’ll take the big bat too!

[LouisEly]

Trevor Williams melting down, about to give back a 7-1 lead.

[adambr2]

I wonder if some historian can confirm that that was the longest 3 pitch half inning in MLB history.

[Brewcrewin07]

Pittsburgh is terrible

 

LOL they are still winning 7-4

[LouisEly]

And with this outing, Houser is no longer eligible for the Top 25 prospects poll. Helluva way to go out.

[TJseven7]

5 of 6 outs on 1 pitch... What's going on in Cincy tonight.

[Brew crew 92]

Oh I see it’s a contest of who can underachieve the most and get their respective coach fired first. My money is on the hitting currently. At least hook can say there just isn’t much talent With the pitching

 

Hook’s done alright with Houser.

That walk to Votto should have been a called strike 3. Whatever. Seems like home-plate umpiring is getting worse.

[TJseven7]

Nice job squeezing our pitcher vs Votto.

[TJseven7]

That walk to Votto should have been a called strike 3. Whatever. Seems like home-plate umpiring is getting worse.

 

Ball 2 and 4 were called strikes vs a lot of guys tonight.

[yfinn6]

I hate this park so much. There's no way a hitter should be rewarded with a homer on a swing like that.

[brooks_quichenick]

Crazy how the strike zone got extra large in Yasmani’s at bat and now it shrunk with Houser on the mound.

[LouisEly]

Nice job, Counsell. Way to leave Houser in too long. Second start, you think he's stretched out to throw >60 pitches?

[willie key]

And that’s that.

[adambr2]

Well this outing from Houser went from great to blah in about 5 minutes.

[TJseven7]

3rd time through... no good.

The change up (I know the other HR was a slider) not good.

[pacopete4]

Only a matter of time with Houser.

[Brewcrewin07]

Thanks Adrian...The brewers really want NO part of taking the lead or control of this division, do they??

[TJseven7]

Nice job, Counsell. Way to leave Houser in too long. Second start, you think he's stretched out to throw >60 pitches?

 

Said he was at 70-80 pc on the broadcast. Really the 3rd time though looked off immediately.

[Brew crew 92]

Houser is a stud. He solves another rotation spot. If you believe Anderson and Davies to be ok, that leaves Chacín as the weak link.
