2021-07-11: Reds (Castillo) at Brewers (Woodruff) [Brewers lose, 3-1 -- Crew hits a speed bump heading into the All Star Break]

[brewers888]

Peterson regardless of the results always has good at bats. Most of the lineup can learn a thing or two watching him hit.

[adambr2]

If Avi goes up with the same approach as Jace in his AB we've got 2 on and nobody out getting into the Reds pen already with no one in the 6th.

 

Castillo's command is shot and Avi flat out handed him an out.

[brewers888]

Please not Hiura.

He was pretty horrible until becoming a Brewer. To what would you attribute his success in Milwaukee?

[Jopal78]

Why pinch hit Hiura when he Ks 40% if the time even if it’s a match up change

Avi has generally been pretty good this year. That at-bat looked like 2020 though.

Reds so far - 8 doubles and 1 single

Brewers so far - 3 singles and 6 walks

 

Pretty similar numbers but the one extra base hit was enough to be the difference so far

[82brewcrew82]

This is our achillies heel late in close games we are trailing.

[brewers888]

Rowdy was a waste of an acquisition if they really think Hiura should continue to pinch hit for him.

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Can you have a worse at bat than Garcia just had.

Hiura gave it a good attempt.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Rowdy was a waste of an acquisition if they really think Hiura should continue to pinch hit for him.

 

If Hiura continues to do what he just did, that won't continue.

Yeah, I thought Rowdy had reverse splits, so he should have stayed in there

[82brewcrew82]

JBJ!

[brewers888]

Bradley came through.

The textbook Somehow I Manage by Michael Scott Ron Roenicke says you must.

[pacopete4]

JBJ- well done sir!

[trwi7]

I don't get the scoreboard. Yes I know it's 90s weekend or whatever but why have a giant scoreboard look like complete garbage?

[adambr2]

I'd expect nothing less than that atrocious AB from Keston. You might as well just let Rowdy try to hit lefties. He does have reverse splits.

[JET15]

That steal was huge

[rickh150]

No shift?

This is our achillies heel late in close games we are trailing.

 

?? Not nearly as much as late in not close games we are trailing...

[adambr2]

JBJ needed that badly, and fantastic sequence by Jace to put himself in position to score.

 

Nice to see Woodruff off the hook, who has been a victim of poor run support numerous times this year.

[pacopete4]

If Hiura continues to do what he just did, that won't continue.

 

I agree but Keston is also 3 for 9 in the series with a walk. It’s not like he’s been just awful.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Looks like the County Stadium "video" board circa 1994. Complete with the pixelated player photos. Cheesy, but whatever I guess.

Damn
