2021-07-08: Reds (Mahle) at Brewers (Houser) [Brewers win, 5-3 -- Garcia delivers 2-run bomb in 8th to break the tie]

[SomewhereInTime]

There was a start many years ago, against Houston I think without looking it up, where Claudio Vargas pitched 5 scoreless innings and got out of a bases loaded jam every single inning.

Houser is now 2/5 of the way there!

At 51 pitches, I doubt he even gets out of the fourth.

[JET15]

OK, so let's rinse and repeat... get 2 more runs with only a dink single

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Houser is getting the big punch outs when he needs them. But a nice 1-2-3 inning or two would be good for his arm and pitching deeper into this game.

[adambr2]

Houser is not sharp today, but he's getting outs at the right times.

[82brewcrew82]

Reds fans must be apoplectic right now.

[brewcrewdue80]

Casstellanos must be struggling without looking at his recent. Shows all 3 swings and misses at balls out of the zone. Tried to be hero.

He'll just need to HBP to keep his count low, while loading bases efficiently.

Are you kidding me? That first pitch to Houser? What is going on here?

[stoutdude04]

Lol. That first pitch strike to Houser. Amazing.

[brewcrewdue80]

Lol. That first pitch strike to Houser. Amazing.

 

Gameday shpws that on the outside line....of the batters box!

I literally lol'ed when I saw it.

[yfinn6]

Right down the middle.

[82brewcrew82]

Yelich is getting frustrating.

[PinaMadness]

Both pitchers at 51 pitches each and we're only through two innings.

[brewcrewdue80]

Yelich is getting frustrating.

 

Well past that. Halfway through season 5HRs. What's our combined pitcher's HRs at? 3? 4?

[PinaMadness]

Yelich is getting frustrating.

Makes you wonder if Darvish was on to something.

[wibadgers23]

Right down the middle.

 

How the heck did he miss that? What’s going on with him?

[sixtolezcano16]

It use to be exciting when Yelich stepped to the plate. Not so much any more.

[JET15]

"Official Scorer Ruling Pending. Votto to second." That could go either way

[sixtolezcano16]

How long can Houser walk the tightrope. 5 hits and 2 walks in 2+ innings.

All night long.

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Urias’ defensive play loomed large in the third inning. Got another zero for Houser.
