2020-08-25: Reds (Castillo) at Brewers (Woodruff) [Brewers win, 3-2 -- Gamel’s defensive forceout at home preserves lead]

[PinaMadness]

Not sure if this is great pitching or bad hitting or a bit of both.

 

Tons of empty swings.

It's great pitching. Especially from Woodruff.

[PinaMadness]

Dam, I really thought Woody was going to seriously challenge for the no no.

[HarveysWBs]

And just like that... ugh

[yourout]

That was bad pitch sequencing to moose

[MrTPlush]

Man I hate this team.

[markedman5]

Well that might do it......hit batter....check swing single.....and moose hits one through the shift

[adambr2]

From throwing a no-no to what amounts to a pretty large hole (for our offense) in the span of 2 minutes.

[BruisedCrew]

Woodruff looks dialed in. This could be a fun game to watch.

 

Until Woodruff hits the mid inning wall.

On a related note, the Pirates have gone nine up and nine down against Giolito to start the game, including a strikeout by Frazier.

I don't understand how a guy like Jace Peterson is the best of what we have to put on the big team...

 

Seriously, has this guy earned a spot on the major league roster? What about him makes anyone think he should have a shot at the show?

 

I'm troubled that Ray is almost 26 and already on the roster, yet he can't earn a call-up over a journeyman with no upside.

 

Not a bunch of MLB players from that draft yet that make the pick stand out as particularly bad. However, the next outfielder taken was Kyle Lewis, who is looking like a star and the AL ROY favorite.

No offense to Peterson but yeah the fact that he's here is an indictment on this organization. If Ray can't find a role on this team he's done.

[PinaMadness]

Yelich looked out live

[PinaMadness]

Ray is yet another first round bust.

[Eye Black]

I’m no Jace Peterson proponent, but he does have 1600+ major league at bats over his career and he crushed the International League last year. That’s something at least.

 

Regarding Ray, that wasn’t necessarily a great draft class, but in any year whiffing on a top-5 pick is a tough blow for an organization.

[MrTPlush]

Yelich looked out live

 

He was out, we lucked out though because no angle showing air between Yelich’s foot and the bag. Thankfully we got the original call, one of those situations.

 

What a turn of events too.

[yourout]

First and third and no one out I give it about a 5% chance of scoring a run

[markedman5]

We did damage against a mistake pitch!

[Bulldogboy]

Sogard is not good. Time for Stearns to make this stop.

[shanedog19]

Seriously, Sogard is just woeful at the plate.

[MrTPlush]

Windmill strikes again.

[markedman5]

Way to go Arcia......great throw

[yourout]

That looked like it would have been worth a challenge.

[Eye Black]

On the replay Gamel came a lot closer to being safe than it appeared live. I think he was out, but he nearly snuck in there.

[folly412]

Not a bad send. Looked well out in real time, but replay looked pretty close.
