[TheAnalytics]

Lord those are some ropes

[YelichPosse]

I'd like to point out that Yelich hit that 113.6 rocket double off an 88.3 MPH pitch...

Loved Rock's line, "We're gonna need a new bell."

Man, you did it @sveumrules. I'm doubling your 'And 1' output. Darn it. I'm a sieve.

The only thing saving Greene from having a worse day is the home plate ump.

No kidding.  Just pathetic.

[Dragonbait]

Wow... game day had that ball WAY up out of the zone.

[Joseph Zarr]

This ump, well, he stinks. That's 2 punchouts with major asterisks.

Not only that, but we've played 2-4 less games than everyone else at the top of the leaderboard, except the Yankees who have also played 30 (we're at 30 + one inning now). 

This isn’t right.

The Brewers are 17-8 so this is their 26th game. 

Coming into today every team in MLB has played between 23 and 27 games.

Referring to Taylor's HR.

Free Endorphin hits for all!!

Tyrone Taylor bombs help too.

Does anyone remember when 2 weeks in, the season was already over because the offense was so bad?

And the strikeout of Omar.

[magnoliacrew]

Hiura!

[Eye Black]

I've seen the Brewers hit less home runs during batting practice. 

[Brewcrew82]

If only we had signed Castellanos.......

Obligatory "But it's the Reds" posts incoming.

HIURA!

[Joseph Zarr]

OMG. THIS is FUN.

[magnoliacrew]

My new way of evaluating offense is everyone who DOESN'T hit a home run this game needs some time is triple-A.

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Offense barrage over the past week: Cubs/Reds pitching or was there a delivery of juiced baseballs?

Like if you aren't hanging 10 runs on Scherzer it's like it didn't even count...

[owbc]

One more to tie the Yankees for the league lead in home runs.

It was letter-high at least. Way up in the zone.
