Brewers (Houser) vs Reds (Lively): 7/16/23, 12:40pm

[Brock Beauchamp]

With yesterday's win, the Brewers moved two games ahead of the Reds in the standings, as they now control the tiebreaker, which means the Reds need to finish the season +1 games over Milwaukee to win the Central.

Also, let's get this done.

I’m thinking Cincinnati is going to score some runs today.

Maybe so, but we are due for an outbreak ourselves.  Maybe a slugfest?

Would be nice.

If houser throws a shutout we might not give up a run the rest of the year

I'd be fine with a slugfest... let's say the Brewers win 15-6 or so.

Our DH has a 133 wRC+ in July

I know that doesn’t add up to anywhere near 60 days on the IL, but it probably would help the team to get roster flexibility. 
 

Sucks for Rowdy though. My kids love him. I hope he heals up and finds his swing. 

[Frisbee Slider]

Houser has pitched well.

1.59 ERA in day games, 17 IP

2.25 ERA in past 30 days, 16 IP

1.29 ERA against CIN in 2023. 7 IP on 6/4 at CIN (granted they were a different team then?)

Time to get a first baseman who hits good

[BruisedCrew]

With Tellez out for a month now, I think it’s that much more critical for the Brewers to add a major league first baseman, even if it’s a journeyman like Ruf 

Playing Miller at 1B every day is not a solution.

I wonder if the Pirates would be willing to trade Santana to a division team.

Time to DFA Winker … with that said, I hope he goes 4 for 4 today with three HRs & 7 RBIS 💪

Sorry for Tellez as a person 

Happy for the Brewers

We need a change at 1B

[Jim French Stepstool]

Look for Uribe to be used today. It's been a bit over a week since he's seen action, and in this stage of his development you need him to get regular work.

I'm trying to wrap my brain around an image of Rowdy Tellez shagging balls in the OF.

The zone appears to be quite large today
