Brewers (Rea) vs Reds (Ashcraft): 6/3/23, 3:10pm

[Joseph Zarr]

Whewwwww that was a nasty change-up. Yowza. 

[wiguy94]

Devin just has terrible command today. Leaving the changeups up in the zone and can't throw a FB for a strike.

[willie key]

Knock it down infield

He probably didn’t think he was going to pitch

[Joseph Zarr]

Just remember, none of these runs mean anything until...

[markedman5]

Sigh of relief 

[treego14]

Brewers win 10-8!

Devin is great!

[Nola Beery]

Exhale.

[Joseph Zarr]

Have faith, gents. Have faith. 

[willie key]

I do enjoy the offense winning a game.  But that was some nonsense bullpen performance today

I'm so glad you were right, Pollyanna! 😊

[Ro Mueller]

Good enough. Thank you Blake. Thank you Devin.

[BruisedCrew]

That would have been a rough one to let get away, especially now that Williams is down for tomorrow, if not the next two days.

I guess due some regression, one reason for the blowouts is how poor the B squad have been outside of Wilson. Vieira may be next in line and deserves a shot ahead of Cousins

My brother, I see so many blown games in the lower levels...we are dealing with the cream of the crop. If they blow a game? It's on to the next. Four games a night for me. Unphased. That was literally a top 3 pitcher in the entire League. You live and die by that regardless of the result. Unworried. Unphased. We win. On to the next. BAM.

[Nola Beery]

Who'd have thoughth that Devin would be needed to get a save when we led 9-1.  Those middle relievers.....bughghghghgh!

I'm going to keep bringing you back to: We won the game.

On to the next. Some days your guys don't have it. It happens. It's baseball. We are back to 4 games over. ENJOY it, my brother!

well yeah. it's a game.  But you can't be happy when your guys are about to blow a 9-1 lead.  B bullpen indeed. 

[mohlmonster]

Those Reds weren't chasing anything, nice at-bats (plate appearances) by them

[Jake McKibbin]

Actually I'd say at least it's fun to watch, predictable games and blowouts are less entertaining for me

Also Cards are down again with an inning left

B bullpen has been absolutely horrible today.  
 

Cousins should not be in the majors……can’t count on him

Megill/Cousins: -.221 WPA

Wilson/Devin: +.272 WPA

I am actually very happy our guys won the game. VERY happy. Four games over. Overcame an uncharacteristically sloppy bullpen outing. Gave up 9 stolen bases. And won the game. On the road. Glorious. I'm going to drink a beer and go till some stuff and water some plants. 😅

Thanks, but you can belay the philosophy lesson,  I know we won. I'm glad!   Can we not feel and express some suspense?  That's the "thrill" of sports.

OK. I'm with you on the beer!  Glad we won!! Cheers!

9 SBs by the Reds this afternoon. Is this a record for the Brewers?
