C'mon man... Adames does this every time he hits a tank, and it's cool. Who cares?

I know they all do it to an extent but holy crap that was bad.

Chourio steal and a Contreras base hit sounds good to me.

I retract this for now. He's just not able to throw enough strikes. 

Think we need to pump the brakes on him a little bit. He's had a grand total of 2 good outings since we acquired him and people are talking about extending him.

I’m still good with Montas going back out last inning. Brewers need innings. Pen is tired right now

Rest of inning gameplan. Contreras BB/single, Bauers K for the golden sombrero. Adames with another 3-run HR

Usually when someone stands there like that it’s way gone……..not this one

I mean...... I know people don't care that Adames does it because he's *our* guy but I feel like people are just mad because it was a Reds guy that did it.  Some of Willy's home run pimps/bat tosses are wildly over the top.

That commentator calling him “Chuh-rio” 😂😂

Ok, if there really are no other options then calling up Ernesto Martinez from AA might be worth it to replace Bauers.

[adambr2]

We get 2 extra roster spots tomorrow, but we could have 3 if we DFA Jake Bauers. 

[yourout]

Give that man a golden sombrero.

[Samurai Bucky]

Dfa Bauers and bring up Black

[Bulldogboy]

Lineup construction matters. Why put your worst hitter in a run production spot? Madness.

I'm not a particularly big Black believer but I would do that in a heartbeat.

[kevinisaname]

Dang, that felt like the inning they needed to score. I don't feel so great about this game all of a sudden unless we can get through the next half-inning unscathed.

If you want to think outside the box have Perkins hit clean up if you're dead set on having a lefty

And yet: 6 GS, 33 IP, 3.82 ERA, 3.60 FIP, 3.94 xFIP.

Over a full season that would be the best SP in this year's rotation. 

I agree with you that any talk of extending / re-signing him is premature, but that's mostly because with the way this org finds and develops pitchers, I'm not sure they should be giving anyone over 30 guaranteed money. But "he's had a grand total of 2 good outings" is far underselling what he's provided, I'd say. He pretty clearly looks like their #2 starter in a playoff series.

Can’t be any worse, can it?  🤦‍♂️

Not possible...

[kevinisaname]

More leadoff walks. This isn't gonna end well.

[yourout]

Enough with the lead off walks.

Especially the nine hitter.
