If I were the Reds manager, and now know that I probably won’t have to face Yelich or Frelick again, I’d be sorely tempted to not even use my A-bullpen…

yeah...but then again they haven't won a game against the Brewers in seemingly forever...Reds looking to put together a big inning here though.  Would be nice to hold them and force their key relievers to have to pitch tonight

[RobertCrawley]

Ok here we go. 

[Fear The Chorizo]

Great AB Contreras!

Unfortunately Adames is up...

[Fear The Chorizo]

And then Adames promptly gets in the hole swinging at a pitch 2 feet off the plate followed by taking a fastball right down the middle.

Willy made up his mind he was swinging first pitch, then made up his mind the wasn't going to swing at the second pitch.  He has no clue right now.

[wibadgers23]

Willy “Mendoza” Adames

[Pugger]

Sigh

[Fear The Chorizo]

he got a pretty good slider to hit there with two strikes and did nothing with it

lol.  The Cards aren't gonna give us Arenado abd Goldschmidt.

If we started with chourio, they absolutely would.  They are a train wreck and need to rebuild. 

[mtsportsfan]

And here is our clean up hitter ! Still probably our best option ! Yuck

[Pugger]

If we don't score here I hope CC doesn't bring in Williams.

[82brewcrew82]

LOL, yes, we are really stressing them.

True they need to rebuild but they aren't gonna give US those 2 guys.  They'll trade them elsewhere.

[82brewcrew82]

So many hitters that just have no chance.

[yourout]

As expected.

Totally overmatched. 

[Bulldogboy]

Imagine pinch hitting Turang because he's a better option than the guy in the game. Lol

[Brewcrew82]

Brice Turang doesn't hit the ball hard enough to strike out as often as he does. What an ugly start to his MLB career on offense.

I honestly don't understand where our analytics 'break' happened within this organization.   Years ago we couldn't get rid of Domingo Santana or Chris Carter fast enough.  Now the team has multiple versions of those 2 players without the power/OBP rates.

The answer to all your questions is money. — Don Ohlmeyer 

[Brewcrew82]

This organization's track record developing hitters is a reason why I'd have very little hesitancy trading some of the guys in our farm system at the deadline.

It has nothing to do with an analytics breakdown, it's all about their total unwillingness to spend $$ on LEGIT bats in FA. When you won't spend the $$ required, this is what you get. The Brewers are one of those organizations that seem to think they are the "smartest" guy in the room. They sign retreads thinking they have the "magic formula" to turn them around...except they are retreads for a reason. It's the old adge that you get what you pay for. They shop at Walmart's clearance rack every off season, they have only themselves to blame.
