2021-06-14: Reds (Gutiérrez) at Brewers (Lauer) [Brewers lose, 10-2 -- Pitching struggles and Crew goes hitless after 2nd inning]

[Eye Black]

Well at least the Brewers are still within striking distance of making the Reds feel like they really let one slip away.

[BruisedCrew]

Yardley…just feels like you’re giving the Reds the game. Hope I’m wrong.

 

This is the result of how much Hader and Williams pitched over the weekend. They’d probably like to give Boxberger a day off too, so they’re going to try to get through this game with the pitching C team.

Yelich is seeing the ball so much better

[yfinn6]

Avi has missed some meatballs tonight. He's not alone.

Srickland has closer experience. It would be nice to have another guy to be in the late game mix.

[jason21nl]

The boys are missing some very hittable pitches.

[markedman5]

At least the Cubs lost

[Bulldogboy]

Win 10 out of 12 with both losses being to a guy nobody has ever heard of would be unfortunate.

[BruisedCrew]

But when Lauer and Anderson start it isn’t surprising. If the Brewers don’t come back tonight, their last 3 losses will be games started by Anderson or Lauer in which they put the team in an early hole.

[markedman5]

All of these walks……I hate walks

[BruisedCrew]

That should remove all doubt.

[adambr2]

Lauer and Yardley gave this game away with walks. Probably not going to be our day.

[jason21nl]

Played with fire letting Yardley go back out and got burned.

[markedman5]

Well that should do it……..with the guys we pitched against this lineup it seemed like we would have to score 6 or 7 to win……

[82brewcrew82]

There are just too many guys on this roster that shouldn't be on a major league roster much less a contenders roster. What CC does is just amazing given the roster.

[markedman5]

Nice catch JBJ

[82brewcrew82]

Great slide!

[Bulldogboy]

I just don't understand how a major league team like the brewers can't afford 13 major league caliber pitchers at all times. They don't even have anyone of note injured. Yardley Linblom etc should not be here. Yardley pitching to any lefty seems like asking for trouble. Missed opportunity here tonight.

I mean there's a ton of garbage at the back end of the roster, but the top 3 starters are about as good as any in baseball, the back end of the pen is pretty good and Yelich, Narvaez, Adames and a couple others are pretty legit. I don't doubt that CC is doing a fine job but it's not like they're totally void of talent.

Not at all what I said.

They are not void of talent but it is surprising given the payroll they have Tim Lopes Hoby Milner Yardley etc on this team. Its not like you expect 25 all stars but man this team is really about 15 deep. The last ten guys are really a drag. The Cain contract is crippling. So is Bradley. Imagine the quality depth you could buy for 30 million dollars.

[markedman5]

When Hiura plays himself off the team and Cain, Wong, Shaw and Taylor are all hurt at the same time it’s going to look ugly.

 

Every team has contracts that turn out to be bad at some point or another.

And Peterson, and Reyes, and Lauer, and Anderson, and Peterson and...

[Bulldogboy]

Rock says that was close?? Geez

[Eye Black]

How did the Reds just let that go? I’m not convinced Rock’s correct about that not being a reviewable play. He was playing in the outfield.
