Reds (Lodolo) vs Brewers (Cortes): 4/3/25, 6:40pm

[Frisbee Slider]

LHP Nick Lodolo starts for Cincinnati 

We last faced Lodolo on 8/11/24 in Milwaukee 

Lodolo went 5.1 IP, 3 H, 3 BB, 4 K and 3 ER

Ortiz hit a HR off Lodolo and Adames also  an RBI. Other bats were mostly quiet, aside from Gary Sanchez.

Jeimer Candelario is 2-3 with a BB against Cortes. No other Red has had any success or meaningful ABs against Cortes.

"Lodolo" is fun to read because I always read it at "Lololol"

Oh, that is a good starting point for @treego14's poem!

[treego14]

The Reds are about to go from Low to Low with Lodolo!
His first name is Nick and he and his teammates are about to get more sick!

Nasty Nestor is NOT a Patsy nor a Quitter!
Last game for him was Bitter!
But it's about to get Better for ole' Nestor!

Spencer Turnbull? Heck yeah, if he's healthy.

But the Blue Jays will likely want him too after Mad Max's injury.

Wrong thread bro

Should be a brand new Cortes today ... that first start for him back in Yankee Stadium was a disaster in the making right from the acquisition.

Let's make it 3 in a row!

This will be Cortes' test day to see if he does or does not have arm issues still. This is a big one for him and the Brewers. Yes, make it 3 in a row. 

[Frisbee Slider]

Fair to assume Megill, Uribe and Koenig are unavailable tonight? Each pitched the last two games.
 

Could we get four innings combined from Hudson Peguero and Payamps? If Cortes goes 5 IP.

Save Tyler Alexander to help soak up innings tomorrow?

My brain is always going to turn Lodolo into:

Cortes threw three home run pitches in a row in New York. Will he go for four?

[BruisedCrew]

Need to see more hitters start to produce. 

They got away with minimal offense yesterday but it will likely take significantly more than 1 run today.

They might be down 3-0 after three pitches.

[HarryDoyle]

That's a home run in Yankee Stadium.

Not today!

[RobertCrawley]

Cy Cortes. 

[HarryDoyle]

Cy Lodolo.

[treego14]

These Northwestern Mutual commercials are very weird!

It doesn't make me want to do business with them, that's for sure!

[treego14]

Nasty Nestor is looking interesting!

He’s not pitching that well

Interesting strategy to walk someone before De La Cruz. 

[Brewcrew82]

I do not like walking McClain in front of EDLC. I will tell you that. 

[Bulldogboy]

Walking the guy in front of the most dangerous guy is dumb.
