Pretty nice AB from Rowdy. I know he hasn't shown much so far but they see something in him. Gotta give him some time.
-
The Brewers offense is 7th in the NL in runs scored. They could be better but they could most definitely be worse. They had a really nice stretch in June where they were one of the best offenses in the league at that time. Now they're going through a rough stretch again overall. Sucks, but that's baseball. There are a few guys with more long-term struggles relative to their career performance, mostly veterans. It's concerning, but it does happen. But Haines was the same guy here when Yelich was putting together MVP caliber seasons. I doubt he just suddenly told him to change his whole approach. Also, I am far from a Haines apologist and depending on how this season plays out I wouldn't have any problem looking in another direction next year, but I don't know how you can criticize him for the guys who are down and ignore the emerging bats like Adames, Urias, Narvaez, etc.
-
Heck, bench all these guys til then.
-
Yelich is great unless the opposing pitcher actually throws strikes and he can't just sit there and hope to walk.
-
To be fair though, the bullpen is one area that is relatively cheap and painless to improve at the trade deadline. I'd expect the Reds to add arms. I'd expect we'll add an arm or two. I think the ease of adding pen arms is probably why Stearns has been willing to part with numerous productive relievers in trades already this year, knowing he'll add more.
-
We need Woodruff's best today badly and it looks like we're going to get his worst. Which could still be enough, but only if we get some offense.
-
Don't let Castillo's numbers fool you, he's been much better since May. Hopefully we get Woodruff's best today.
-
The Atlanta Falcons have been proving ever since their new stadium opened that it is possible to still make sufficient revenue from concessions without charging an arm and a leg for concessions. I wish more professional sports teams would start following this business model.

2021 NBA Finals: Milwaukee Bucks vs Phoenix Suns BUCKS WIN THE TITLE!!!!
adambr2 replied to homer's topic in Other Sports
4 out of these next 5 games are definitely must win games. -
I was relieved to find my take on this trade on Page 9 was not terrible. As fun as it is to go back and look at the bad takes, let's be honest, we've all been there. None of us have a crystal ball and everyone feels one way or another about something in that moment, just like when your guy does or doesn't get drafted on draft day. So bearing that in mind, I'd like to point out that there were also numerous posters that nailed it. Not surprising that Reilly has some takes that were dead on. Homer has a slam dunk take (post 235) worth a re-read -- talks about how we can't afford ace pitching on the open market so we need to come up with ways of finding our own and this is one method. Now flash forward to almost 6 years later, not only is said ace a huge part of our 5 game lead in the division, but he's also been extended on a reasonable contract through the 2026 season.

Cain's struggles are a little bit overstated. He's been okay. The bat isn't fantastic, but unlike with JBJ it's good enough for him to be a passable starter when you take his defense into account. The trouble has been health. He's got to stay on the field in the 2nd half.
-
Tried pointing this out last night but no one wanted to hear it. Gabe Morales was fine last night. He was far worse after the Castellanos HR at-bat and still wound up exactly average. And not only was the 2-2 ball call to Castellanos not "terrible" it was not even graded as a missed call. The first two homeplate umpires in this series called horrendous games. I get why it boiled over to last night but it was more frustration than any actual reality.
-
If you want to blame anyone for the play, blame 1B coach Quintin Berry who clearly motions for Yelich to advance to 2B and Yelich clearly reacts to it and steps to his left. Then he realized he wasn't going to make it and played it coy, but it's too late by this point. The Reds saw it and tagged him.
-
It's hard to believe JBJ has been this bad. He's never been an elite hitter, but he's been relatively consistent most of his career. His lowest OPS+ in the last 6 years was 89. To see him absolutely crater to a 43 this season at age 31 is bizarre.
-
I thought it was a bad call at the time, but looking at it again, I have to agree. In almost every situation, if a runner has no intent to advance, they turn the other way so there can be no confusion. If Yelich turns the other way, he is fine.
-
I think I would have rather not have tied the game back up in the 8th.
-
Bottom of the order coming up in the 9th too.
-
And that's just awesome.
-
Taylor!!!!

Umpire has been pretty bad since the time I said he's been pretty good today, naturally.
-
Why? He's been pretty good for us. For a middle innings guy you could do a lot worse.
-
I'm totally in agreement that the Yelich call was trash. Strictly have been referring to today's zone, which some folks have liked to embellish to imply that I've been saying the umpiring in the series has been fine.
-
The team has hit fine ever since acquiring Adames overall. Adames has greatly improved, so has Urias. I don't think a new hitting coach mid-season is going to get veterans like Yelich and JBJ to suddenly figure it out.
-
Really need to take tomorrow's if we don't come back in this one. Would be a big bummer to let the Reds cut into a big chunk of our lead on our field heading into the break.
