Brewers (Myers) vs Reds (TBD): 9/1/24, 11:10am

Brewer Hicklen. Who are you, sir?

[umphrey]

Wow Hicklen has been a 20 HR 40 SB guy in the minors for like 5 years and couldn’t get a real shot in the bigs

That is pretty much MLB average. Certainly not a great excuse to move the guy who has been the most consistent starter in your rotation to the pen.

He is the definition of a AAAA player.  He can hit AAA pitching but once he gets to MLB he is not as good.

Well probably but it looks like he only had 4 ABs career before today. He might be an interesting player to flash in September/October and ride him before the book is out.

Not as insufferable… by much.  Maybe if he called himself a “badass” or if he was from California…

We know this after 6 big league at bats?

I would take the Gruber Law Offices commercials over any of the law office ones in AZ.

Myers is not on it today but good job getting out of that jam

[Gump]

Know what would be awesome? If on the MLB app or whatever, you had an option to get rid of the strike zone and turn off commentary. I would be so happy.

"Don't tell anyone it's store bought"

You brought them in their original cans, sir

[Gump]

Who are the commentators for the radio broadcast for the Brewers?

[adambr2]

Would have liked to see Myers get through the 6th but he was definitely at the end of his rope. Got away with a bad location on Marte but then India ripped the next one. Hopefully Koenig can work out of it. 

[adambr2]

One pitch. That'll work. 

[BCF]

5.2 IP, 8 H, 2 ER, 4 BB, 7 K for Myers. 99 pitches, 63 strikes 

[adambr2]

Myers has had better days, but he also gave us almost 6 innings and 2 earned runs in an extreme pitchers park on a day when he lacked command. I'll take it. 

[adambr2]

Man Hoskins is so SLOW.

[Sixtolezcano]

Turang looks much more comfortable and the plate in today’s lineup. Maybe he is not as stressed since Murphy move him down 8 spots. How long do you think Pat will bat him 9th?

As long as a lefty is starting, so pretty much today only. 

[adambr2]

Other than a tough first week, Junis has been very good for the Reds.

[HarryDoyle]

My eyesight must be going because I didn't even see where the ball went. I thought that was a great play.

[duewizard]

Oh god Wilson in leverage?

[folly412]

Raptor sighting

[adambr2]

Haunted by the ghosts of Brewers past today. 

[Sixtolezcano]

That was a quick inning.
