Two.

No. 75, my man. Not going to help you much if one of your top 5 relievers gets injured due to overuse.

5 run lead in the 9th and you walk Three guys

No, what we need is a deeper bullpen so we don't have to use scrubs to close out what should be a comfortable win.

Except the reality is that the last couple spots are and have been a problem which is why wanting more runs and better performance with RISP isn't a "chuckle" for some of us.

[Nola Beery]

come on!

[82brewcrew82]

Another reliever coming in piling in the balls.

[Brewcrew82]

Well, we won.

[82brewcrew82]

Evan the announcers get it.

[yourout]

Good start to the series.

[Brock Beauchamp]

That inning had about 100x the tension it should have had.

[Nola Beery]

OK!

[bensheeps]

Even an ugly "W" is a "W".

Keep pushing this weekend.  I'll be there on Sunday and then in Cincy for next Friday and Sunday.  Hoping to see 3 wins in person.

Senzel still can't hit RHP. 

So far this year he has 48 wRC+ against RHP.

Why does Williams lately or all season IDK not waste a FB above the zone? All 6 pitches there bottom 3rd of the zone.  Noticed this in the Cubs blown save.  Just kept pitching low and never changed the batter's eyes on levels.  I don't think Contreras is doing a good job managing pitch sequencing....(with that article on his movements with runners on 2b as a question to why Atlanta traded him)

[ClosetBrewerFan]

Justin Wilson tomorrow?  I might even prefer Jason Alexander.  Or lets make everyone happy and call up Uribe.

My thoughts exactly 

 

having to use Williams was only necessary because we didn’t add to our lead twice with the bases loaded 

[82brewcrew82]

A win is a win.

[duewizard]

Good job Williams. Miller needs to be DFA'd

[rickh150]

whew…..Big win!

[sveumrules]

Reds only had 6 LOB tonight. 

[nate82]

As soon as I saw who the batter was coming up with the bases loaded I knew the Reds weren't going to score.  Senzel sucks against RHP. 

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

I am not that worried about using Williams. Payamps and Peguero get days, and Houser or Teheran will be available for BP duty over the next two days. Get the win, win the series tomorrow, get greedy Sunday.

[BruisedCrew]

Absolutely had to win that one after the early lead. 

If they had blown that lead, especially after all,of the squandered scoring chances, I think I would have given away our tickets for tomorrow.

Assuming Megill is back up tomorrow, if eligible?  Wilson being ready can't come soon enough. JB looked good in his short stint and could be a filler for games like today.

Yes. And there's 75 games to go after this...

One game at a time please. Maybe we should have held off on Devin and pitch him tomorrow, if we need him or not.
