Reds (Lowder) vs Brewers (Sproat): 6/30/26, 6:40pm

[HarryDoyle]

30+ pitches in the first inning is not ideal.

[yfinn6]

Wow that was dumb. 

[edfunderburk]

Not the start from Sproat I was hoping to see tonight. Hopefully, he gets past a less than stellar first inning, pitches six quality innings, & exits with the lead. 

[BruisedCrew]

Thanks for running to get Sproat  off the mound..

Stallings might get an early call today. I expect we’ll see Anderson at some point. 

[HarryDoyle]

Time to put Sal in the leadoff spot.

[adambr2]

This organization has got to start facing some facts with Yeli. 

[BruisedCrew]

Immaculate inning alert. 

[edfunderburk]

Disappointing to see that Lowder didn’t get a haircut since we saw him last week 

[Fear The Chorizo]

Wake the hell up, fellas

[adambr2]

That’s a real promising start. Fouled off one pitch to avoid an immaculate inning, 

[BruisedCrew]

Sproat didn’t get much of a rest. 
 

[82brewcrew82]

That was impressive and not in a good way.

Drop him lower in the order … sit him against lefties … just a start

And I’m aware Lowder is a RHP

He’s sat against the last two lefties so there’s some hope.

But, he’s not an extreme split guy, so the value isn’t much greater against RHP either.

Our team looks asleep … disinterested … but it’s early

Well. They can literally not do worse offensively than the first inning. Nowhere to go but up.

Vaughn will give us a good ab this inning. What? He isn't playing?? Umm.....

They technically can and it sounds like a challenge.

[HarryDoyle]

Great slide by Bauers.

[edfunderburk]

Bauers is so improved. How incredible to see him develop at age 30. He’s becoming one of my favorite Brewers.

He cut a toenail to short and it hurts. 

[adambr2]

Lot of bad swings at pitches out of the zone by Hamilton just to take a called strike 3.

[folly412]

I've lost track of the number of extra bases gained by Bauers from his speed and baserunning compared to almost all other first basemen (and even some corner outfielders).  That one resulted in a run.

[trwi7]

Can we take the camera off that stupid kid?
