Brewers at Reds; Monday, June 2 @ 6:10 p.m.: Aaron Civale (6.00 ERA, 7.17 FIP) vs. Brady Singer (4.60 ERA, 4.19 FIP)

The only reason Civale is a starter for Milwaukee right now is his $8M salary. We have a few young pitchers who are more capable than Civale & may take his place if he continues to perform poorly. I’d love to see him dealt to a team in need of a veteran pitcher. We are 60 games into the 2025 season & Civale has zero wins. Not sure anyone will take on his salary - roughly $5M remaining.

Salvatore is just on fire.

[willie key]

So many better choices than this dude.   But that’s ok.   We got a nice 7 game lead so give civale time to work it out.   Whatever that “it” is

[kevinisaname]

I don't know what Bauers is doing there, but it's a tie game!

[Brian]

What is the score? You guys talk like were down by 8 runs. 

[Bulldogboy]

That was bad baserunning

[Bulldogboy]

Brutal 2 out walk

[kevinisaname]

Phew. Good play by Ortiz.

[edfunderburk]

I had forgotten how much I dislike watching Civale pitch. I so much better to freeze the game, toggle around on X or ESPN , then check in to see if he got any outs. He is nothing special & his pitches are fooling any batters.

Hopefully that knee is ok...

[kevinisaname]

That shin is hurting.

[kevinisaname]

YELI! That was a bomb!

[duewizard]

YELI! That wrist is ok!

[folly412]

Fingers are fine.

[Bulldogboy]

Yelly still hot

[liveforoctober]

oh boy ... he has figured something out. here we come.

[duewizard]

70 pitches through 3 for Singer. Another inning of good AB's and we should be into the bullpen soon.

Has anyone metioned that when Yelich hits, brewers win before?

Oooor have him throw a 9 pitch inning that works too

[tmwiese55]

Man this game must be a complete blowout considering how absolutely awful the starting pitcher is for us.

[kevinisaname]

Civale has come back pretty nicely after that first inning.

[folly412]

Raptor alert

[Oxy]

And after much consternation, Civale is thru 5 and thru EDLC 3 times....might as well go 6 until trouble comes.

Civale better pitch well.  It’s aggravating that Henderson lost his spot

Henderson is going to lose his spot eventually.  Only threw 81 innings last year.  He isn't going to give us 150 IP this year, much less 200.
