I'll be at this one tonight. Should have a good view from 215.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Pitching matchups look fairly even here. Split seems most likely (and I'd take it), but 3 of 4 would really be nice heading into the break. Go Crew.

[owbc]

The Reds feel like long shots to catch us, all we need to do is split and keep chugging along.

[Jopal78]

Hiura in the lineup over Tellez again.

[Outlander]

It is Reds at Brewers not Brewers at Reds.

It is Reds at Brewers not Brewers at Reds.

Oh wow, good catch. For some reason in my mind this was in Cincy.

[BruisedCrew]

I’ll be there tonight too. I wish the Brewers weren’t starting this series with two back end starters against two of the Reds best. The Brewers haven’t had much success against the Reds starters this season, except for the one outing in May against Castillo when he was struggling against everyone. It’s going to be critical for Houser tonight and Lauer tomorrow to keep the Brewers in the game early by keeping the Reds big hitters in check. They have each failed to do that once already this year.

[JET15]

Glad to see Winker and Castellanos have cooled off. Lets hope it stays that way for the next 4

[stoutdude04]

This just feels like one of those games where Houser struggles. Feels like it happens against the Reds. Hope I'm wrong!

[owbc]

I also thought it was in Cincy and just checked to see the score thinking it should be in the 3rd inning by now.

[yfinn6]

I really don't like facing the Reds, never really have. Of course, they're the team I've watched the most in-person and I'm going to the game tomorrow night. Sorry for what happens in advance.

[mtrebs]

Not a good start this far…

[adambr2]

Yep, looks like Bad Houser today.

[yfinn6]

Two dinkers and a questionable call on 2-2 and the bases are loaded. That's baseball.

[Underachiever]

Okay, got Votto. You can do this!

Two dinkers, sure. That 2-2 to Winker wasn't all that close.

Probably my bias, but it sure seems the Brewers give up more than their share of hits on dribblers, broken bats, bloops, etc.

Fine. We can disagree. He called one that far off the plate to India, albeit an inside pitch, but it was off the plate by quite a bit. Figured the HP ump's eyes would be consistent out there.

[yfinn6]

He was thinking about calling again against Suarez on 1-1.

[JET15]

Im calling out the Doorman, who I see behind the Reds dugout tonight... give em the Sit Down sign!

I am the owner of a Eugenio Suarez Funko Pop doll, courtesy of my last trip to Great American Ballpark, in case you were wondering.

Yeah that was just a flat bad call. I agree it would be nice to see some consistency, though, in the absence of good.

[pacopete4]

Boom. Out of it!
