I’ll be there tonight too. I wish the Brewers weren’t starting this series with two back end starters against two of the Reds best. The Brewers haven’t had much success against the Reds starters this season, except for the one outing in May against Castillo when he was struggling against everyone. It’s going to be critical for Houser tonight and Lauer tomorrow to keep the Brewers in the game early by keeping the Reds big hitters in check. They have each failed to do that once already this year.
Note: If I raise something as a POSSIBILITY that does not mean that I EXPECT it to happen.

I really don't like facing the Reds, never really have. Of course, they're the team I've watched the most in-person and I'm going to the game tomorrow night. Sorry for what happens in advance.

Two dinkers and a questionable call on 2-2 and the bases are loaded. That's baseball.

 

Two dinkers, sure. That 2-2 to Winker wasn't all that close.

Probably my bias, but it sure seems the Brewers give up more than their share of hits on dribblers, broken bats, bloops, etc.

Fine. We can disagree. He called one that far off the plate to India, albeit an inside pitch, but it was off the plate by quite a bit. Figured the HP ump's eyes would be consistent out there.

Yeah that was just a flat bad call. I agree it would be nice to see some consistency, though, in the absence of good.
