Someone tell Rock to move his mic down below his mouth.  You can clearly hear him breathing into the mic and it is driving me nuts.

Gotta keep this at a two run deficit.

So much for that.

If Farmer gets a hit I am turning it off.

The good thing is that they've all been solo ones with the exception of Hoerner's opening day two run shot against Burnes. They also have not been guys who have been homer prone in their careers, especially Burnes (post-2019). So, not too worried...

Oops. Another damaging exception. 

[Brewcrew82]

Good news, is the Reds bullpen isn't much better than their starting pitching. Three runs is doable, but it's going to require some good at bats.

woodruff is not good right now

Still, it's not in accordance with their career trends. Absolutely nothing to be concerned about with Burnes. The guy is pitching like best pitcher in baseball right now (and probably is as long as DeGrom remains on the IL all the time). Woody has had a rough start to the season for sure, but he has a long history of elite pitching and his peripherals remain encouraging. 

[Brewcrew82]

Taylor needs to be the everyday CF now....

[Brewcrew82]

Too bad. Just one down now!

[yourout]

Olay olay olay.

[Brewcrew82]

Defense is awful right now.

[Brewcrew82]

Thanks blue for missing that strike three call...

To be fair, he's called quite a few that were not.

Come on gustave

[HarryDoyle]

CC has really fallen in love with Gustave.

[folly412]

Gustave might be departing on the Nashville train.  Sanchez will arrive on the return trip.

[Brewcrew82]

Gustave is not the answer...

Everytime I see his name I think of Breaking Bad.

[Brewcrew82]

Milner, on the other hand, has looked really good. 

[yourout]

Willy has missed a couple of pitches by about a foot.

Not seeing it well right now.

He needs a day whether he thinks he does or not

[wOOgiE22]

Thought that was gone off Rowdy’s bat. Ball just did not carry. 

[Brewcrew82]

Dodgers lost to the Pirates, only scoring one run. Even the best teams lose to the bad teams once in a while. Still think we can get two runs against this Reds bullpen. That guy they just pitched is their one good reliever.
