He's got so many things moving around it looks like hes doing the Charleston.

Baseball's a crazy game. Steele pitched five times better than Houser tonight and he's on the hook for a loss.

Houser didn't allow a HR. Ground ball pitching to contact will look like this statline. Vintage '21 Houser.

A little gist but we’ll take it.

He gave up three warning truck power fly balls though and his control was not very good. Two double play balls saved him. A little less humid outside and those are three home runs.

[BruisedCrew]

Good thing no robots that inning.

Interesting what BA has said about Adames and the pitch clock.  Adames had a long setup and has had trouble adjusting to the pitch clock and needing to be ready by 8 seconds.  Might explain why he's having a down year.

[HarryDoyle]

Swanson with a bruised heel? Breaks my heart.

Vintage 2021 Houser like I said. Outperform the Fip. Expect double plays.

[yourout]

Extremely small sample size but I like what I see from Jones so far.

[yourout]

Base running mistake there.

Have to stop and make him commit.

[Brewcrew82]

Ughh two cheap hits.

[brewcrewdue80]

2 belt high, down the middle of plate gidp to end last 2 innings. Kinda shows you why Steele succeeds with 2 pitches. Batters not making pitchers pay on mistakes.

[Pugger]

Oh oh....

[HarryDoyle]

Low exit velocity hits.

[Brock Beauchamp]

That was a hell of a play by Turang. 

[brewcrewdue80]

Called outside that strike all night. Pinched him. Game should been over on foul tip. Ump just gave this game to Cubs.

No kidding.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Damn it. 

[Brewcrew82]

Missed strike 3 comes back to haunt...

[markedman5]

I’m going to throw up

[Pugger]

Damn it.  Williams got screwed.

[yourout]

Bad location on the fastball.

[igor67]

The replay sure made it look like Turang should have gone to second though.

[BruisedCrew]

Another kick in the gut while the Reds cruise to another win. 

[yourout]

Ugh....
