2021-06-10: Brewers (Peralta) at Reds (Castillo) [Brewers win, 7-2 -- Offense breaks out following rain delay]

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Peralta out and Castillo still cruising. Big advantage Reds.

 

Suter throwing to the middle of this order is frightening.

 

Except that Castillo's results so far this season indicate that wheels could (and likely will) come flying off at any time. He's been pretty terrible this season.

[Nola Beery]

I listen to a LOT of different announcers from all over the place on MLB-TV (audio only). Levering and Grindle are actually my favorites, silly or not. And either one goes great with Uke.

Now, if we just had some reliable hitters....

Agreed on both counts. There are some very bad announcers around the league, but I don't think Grindle or Levering are among them. My only issue with the two of them is that I have a hard time distinguishing which is which when they're on the same broadcast.

[Baldkin]

Can we trade for players during the rain delay? Is Wes helms available?

 

You mean Miami Marlins legend Wes Helms?

[Nola Beery]

Willie!

I don't know, making frequent pop-culture/movie references was already tired 5 years ago, and the constant discussion of the catered food they eaten is probably designed to be entertaining but its more annoying than anything else.

The Jace blooper at the right time!

[pacopete4]

51 pitches for Peralta to get through 3 innings and then a double to lead off the 4th meaning more stress. He might not see the 6th today.

 

Who would think that an offense with Jace Peterson batting 6th would have trouble scoring.

 

Oh.

[mtrebs]

Ok, Peterson came through there… got to give him that.

A lot of that is getting out of the first inning.

 

Garcia battling him to get him out of the game was critical even though he struck out.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

I'm sure he'll eventually go cold, but Adames is a lot of fun. So far, so good with that deal.

[BruisedCrew]

Ok, Peterson came through there… got to give him that.

 

Yeah, he really drilled that one.

Seriously! I can barely tell them apart, by which I mean I can't really.

[Underachiever]

That Garcia at bat was big in getting Castillo out of there, I think.

[homer]

The Reds have the worst bullpen in baseball? Did I hear that right? How is that possible with Derek Johnson as pitching coach

Yeah, Jeff and Lane are a very good radio team. They're into the game, have good banter, and include stats well.

 

They both have a bit of a "broadcaster voice" thing going on, but that's very minor. Honestly haven't heard a better duo.

It looks as good as a line drive in the scorebooks! Put the bat on the ball, you’ll never know what’ll happen.

[Simba2020]

When is the Raptor going to change his name to the Vulture?

[markedman5]

Is that a curve or a slider Suter is using? Haven’t seen that pitch used as mush recently from what I remember……I like it.

[rickh150]

Big fella!!!!

[markedman5]

Vogelbach.

[markedman5]

Turns out getting Castillo out of this game was a very good thing

[phnxcrew]

Don’t look now, we have our top six in the lineup with an OPS over .700.

[markedman5]

Box continues to impress

Keep raking Willy
