Good luck with that.     Despite all the euphoria of last week.    What got lost is the reds shut us down on offense.     Get ready for three games of nothing offense.    Nothing

And a minute later tie game!  The power of positive thinking!

[Brewcrew82]

Safe.

Boom.   But we still need more

[Brewcrew82]

Turang is so gonna strike out here.

Problem is that is should be about 6-2 right now.

[Brewcrew82]

Turang is not a major league hitter right now, and I'm not sure if he'll ever be. Call Urias up.

No reason to throw him anything other than a high fastball.

He just can’t hit for crap

When Anderson returns (or if a trade is made), Turang's probably going to need to spend some more time in Nashville.  Monasterio is only competent vs. an ace at second, but the difference in hitting is too much right now.

Turang .BA=201 ops=.580

I don't think we can trade Adames in the offseason.

[Brewcrew82]

Now our bullpen has to be perfect again...

What is the k total with risp tonight?

[jason21nl]

Turangs bat speed looks so slow.  He just waves at the pitch.

He's got way too long a swing path right now.

[RobertCrawley]

Turang needs to have another pair of eyes help him with his approach. What he’s doing now is not working   

[Bulldogboy]

Turang could use watching some tape of Frelick and the short stroke.

At the game, did the initial reds pitcher get hurt this inning? 

 

He was warming up then got pulled without throwing a pitch

Didn't seem to be the case.  Just changed their mind.

With all the speed up the game rules, I'm surprised baseball doesn't ban this from happening.

Farmer had to be hurt, right? Once he's announced he has to face 3 hitters? Anyone know the rule for sure?

I think they waited for Perkins to be announced for Jones……..then went with the lefty to face Perkins.

Since he finished the previous inning he can be pulled at any time.
