2021-08-25: Reds (Castillo) at Brewers (Woodruff) [Brewers win, 4-1 -- Avi Garcia shines both at the plate and in the field]

[Eye Black]

Garcia with some defensive gems tonight, wow.

[jjfanec]

Avii with about as good of game as you could have

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Run prevention is simple sometimes, ain't it?

 

Good D from Avi tonight. Made a bad decision in the 1st throwing to third, but now a great play and an earlier outfield assist.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Great job by Urias and Jace. Shame we couldn't cash in more than 1. Take your pick from Cain and Bradley, neither can hit a lick.

 

I mean, Cain has hit well lately.

 

Pretty generous. He's 5 for his last 29.

 

.264 in his last 30 games. That's fine.

[adambr2]

Didn't realize Avi had that kind of defensive chops!

[roadcrew3]

The guy has a hog in too and didn't lose any of it

[82brewcrew82]

The big difference in defensive abilities of these two teams is really the difference tonight.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Yeah, Farmer has cost the Reds twice this series. He's gonna cost you runs at SS.

[Vgmastr]

So Avi has driven in one of the Brewers runs, scored the other one and now saved at least one, likely two or more runs on defense.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Didn't realize Avi had that kind of defensive chops!

 

He had a reputation as a good defender before coming to the Brewers ... and that was before dropping 30 pounds. I mean, he was their regular CF last year, even at his hefty status. He isn't Mookie Betts out there, but he's a solid defensive RF.

Yep…2 huge plays by Avi that saved 1 run for sure ….probably at least 1 more….and a play that could have been made by Farmer that wasn’t cost the Reds.

[adambr2]

.264 in his last 30 games. That's fine.

 

It depends on the sample size you want to use.

 

He's been a decidedly better hitter than JBJ this season, that AB notwithstanding, so there is that.

Kinda glad they didn't trade for Adames as they wanted him for a long time apparently.

[wallus]

CY's speed was big in that poor throw.

[SRB]

50% blame for Votto on that one.

[wallus]

Thank you Reds defense!

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Error and wild pitch. Take the run an easy way.

[markedman5]

Defense again……

[folly412]

That's a Badger Mutual Insurance Run.

 

Yelich missed the bag on his reach. Noticed Q was all over it rushing him back to the base.

[adambr2]

I know nothing about our 1B coach, but doesn't he seem, sort of, bad? At least for the limited opportunities he has every day. He got Yelich tagged out turning the wrong way a month or two ago with a terrible send, and he wanted to send Yelich to second there, which would have been a terrible idea in that situation. Yelich fortunately just completely ignored him.

 

EDIT: Someone just mentioned he wasn't sending Yelich, he was calling him back to the bag because he missed the tag so if that is the case I stand corrected.

[wallus]

Get back on the Rowdy bandwagon!

[SRB]

Trademark Rowdy Tellez infield hit.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Crooked number time. I have no problem in Hoby Millner pitches the 9th.

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Urias at bat with a chance for a blown save. Put up the crooked number and give Hader the night off.

[markedman5]

I thought that should have been a hit for Yelich……was a tough play and would have been close at first even with a good throw
