Reds (Greene) vs Brewers (Peralta): 6/14/24, 7:10pm

Hoskins needs to step up and drive in some runs other than sac flies. Nows the time.

[adambr2]

My God I despise MLB umpires with all my heart. The worst of the worst. 

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Bad time for a bad called third.

[TURBO]

Freddy simply can not handle being the staff ace.  Time to stop calling him that.

Bowden stated this in one of his roundups or something like that this week or last week.

Strike 1 was worse than strike 3. He took 4 balls in that AB and didn't even make it to Ball 3 in the count.

Yeah I don't think that guy is connected at all

[Bulldogboy]

Anyone expect either Hoskins or Frelick to come through? This team is two bats short imo. If Arnold is lulled into thinking otherwise it's a problem.

Yup. Strike 1 was horrible too.

Been a frustrating game. Lots of baserunners, no big hit, Freddy struggling. Reds are playing good baseball, but you have to take advantage of the Elly double error there, even if it's just getting to 5-3.

Good Lord Freddy.

2 arms, 2 bats.  That is a lot of capital that I don't think they burn.

LePay was on for 8 years?  Thought it was 3.  Maybe the first few for a game or two for Anderson to do Fox national games before he got into calling cricket and badminton.

[kevinisaname]

Freddy should not be pitching in the 6th.

 

Edit: And he gives back the run we got.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

His offspeed stuff is just completely noncompetitive. And the fastball isn't very consistent either. Someone suggesting he was maybe tipping again, but I think he's just really fighting it.

[82brewcrew82]

Welp, the division is going to be much tighter.

[HarryDoyle]

Why even bring Freddy out for the sixth? That made absolutely no sense .

6 games, so incredibly tight.

Me either. I'm just disappointed to hear they aren't interested in bats at all. 

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

I mean, the division is going to be tight at the end. We've been the best team, but we're not 6 games better than everyone else.

[yfinn6]

Strike 1 on de la Cruz not called. 

[kevinisaname]

5 1/3, 10 hits, 6 ER (still responsible for the runner on 1st). To say Freddy has been a disappointment is really underselling it. 4.38 ERA now.

Transitional year for us, too. I get the angst and it's been something I'm guilty of, too, but we also need to keep things in perspective.

That being said.. arms that we should have been counting on are going into 25 with question marks or are outright on the IL. Sucks. We hoped 24 would solve (woahh) those problems. 

[wallus]

It's. One. Game.

5 in the loss column after tonight if they don't pull off a comeback.   Not getting any easier tomorrow and the weekend isn't over.

[Bulldogboy]

Freddy just doesn't have that great a stuff to me. Fastball has some life but off speed stuff isn't even in the zone alot. I was a bit more impressed with Rodriguez stuff honestly.
