Reds (Lodolo) vs Brewers (Gasser): 6/29/26, 6:40pm

[willie key]

Brewers?

are we bad now?

[edfunderburk]

We’ve had several great defensive plays made against us in the past week during a time when the offense could use a little luck or help. 

[adambr2]

Oh yes, let’s green light our hitters on 3-0 counts, it’s been working out so well to trust our bats lately.

Good team going through a tough stretch … playing poorly & missing a few important arms

What was wrong with that contact by Sanchez? It was right down the pipe and he put a good swing on it. I have no problem with that. You have a hitter who crushes lefties getting a very hittable pitch with RISP.

Definitely have had some decent defense against us lately but alas we are now six for 59 with RISP

After a HBP, he throws 7 balls in the next 8 pitches.  Terrible.

Right now honestly Turang could be a platoon guy because he cannot get left-handed pitching to save his life.

Hitting 0.174 against Lefty's

That AB for Turang looked like he's never seen a curveball before. He's whiffing at a terrible rate the last couple of weeks. I think Murphy would love to sit him against leftys, but the problem is Hamilton is the only other inf. and he too is a lefty.

In very, very few circumstances do I ever favor swinging 3-0. Certainly not when the pitcher is having control troubles and you’ve been having trouble getting on base lately. 

[yfinn6]

The RISP stuff will eventually even out, it almost has to. What worries me is watching Turang. There's a mechanical issue with his swing, or so it seems. When he's making contact it is not a confident swing. 

[yourout]

Gassers throwing meatballs.

[TURBO]

So much talk about our pitching, but this offense is offensive to watch.

If both options suck then just give the dude a break.  He's clearly struggling right now and could use a day off.

You already have RISP. With a hitter who crushes LHP. You want to take your chances with Perkins instead? 

It was a .830 xBA lineout on a get me over fastball. Unfortunate, but happens. Great swing.

Hopefully part of Vogelbach’s process isn’t to advise him to do like he would have done.

[yourout]

Got away with one right down the middle.

[edfunderburk]

I’m tired of watching bad Brewers baseball. Difficult place to be on the front end of a brutal stretch before the All-Star break. Hopefully we snap out of this funk sooner than later. Nothing I see inspires me. Miz has been great, a few others are contributing, but something is out of sync top to bottom. 

[TURBO]

Ummmm, Mr. Levering, this is not Woodruffs first bobblehead.

Why did he say it's so strange that his first bobble is him hitting, when this is technically his 3rd bobble with the Brewers.

There was one in 2020 which was the SSH bobble, then they did an SGA in 2022.

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Perkins, Frelick, Pratt, and Ortiz hitting 6 through 9. Need some unexpected “Sunday Lineup” batting luck.

I get that its been a frustrating couple of days.  But they have the 2nd best record in baseball.  And the won 5 in a row before 2 days ago.  Its going to be alright.

[yourout]

Nice to see Sal look a little more like the old Sal staying balanced and using left field

[Brian]

Good hustle by Sal. 

[Bulldogboy]

Sal looking better 

[yourout]

The reds really want to help us we just got to make sure we let them

[yourout]

My prediction is Mr pratt's got another trip back to Nashville in his near future
