2021-09-03: Cardinals (Wainwright) at Brewers (Peralta) [Brewers lose, 15-4]

[adambr2]

Oof. That's about as badly as you can locate an 0-2 pitch.

My wife just pointed out that Sofia says “he said” all the time. Now I can’t listen to her without picking that out.

Considering 95% of her job is to interview players, coaches and the GM, that's to be expected.

Wainwright is pretty darn good. Has been for a long time. Give the dude credit. A professional pitcher.

I've heard this pointed out about Sofia before, but as the previous poster said, she's reporting pretty often on things that have been told to her by players, managers, coaches, and various stadium and front office personnel, so it's just something she's going to say. There's only so many synonyms for "he said" that a person can use before it sounds forced, IMO.

She is very good at her job imo. Like her for the most part. Trenni was better but not by much.

This isn’t really the night to be poking fun at other teams’ pitchers for giving up gopher balls.

 

They just said that the Tigers have hit 3 or more HRs 4 games in a row.

 

They pounded out quite a few in that one game at AFF too.

Ehh, it’s pretty much like the president of our company during conference calls says “umm” all the time. It’s just one of those things once you hear it you just notice it more. Not saying she is bad at her job, just one of those little things

Let me guess, the Reds have a better pitching staff than the Brewers too? It’s so weird how much of a Reds apologist (fan) you’ve been this season.

[SomewhereInTime]

Time to set the franchise record for biggest 9th inning comeback. Biggest I remember is down 7.

[SomewhereInTime]

Welcome to the game Hoby Milner!

[jason21nl]

Topa and Milner can go away now

[wildcat2237]

Topa and Milner can go away now

 

Yeah. I'm hoping thats the last we see of Hoby.

 

Gustave and Barker should be on the next plane to Milwaukee. DFA Topa or MIlner (or put Topa on the 60 day DL if his elbow is toast).

[wibadgers23]

Topa and Milner can go away now

 

They can take Norris with them. The bullpen acquisitions at the deadline were total flops.

[adambr2]

I hope the back 3 guys in this pen aren't going to see much postseason work.

You really are a one trick pony aren’t you?

 

It's weird to me that you are so obsessed with a couple of comments that I made in June and early July after the Reds won 3 straight from the Brewers at AFF (twice) that you have to lie about when I made them. And that you can look at all of the posts I have made this season and conclude that I'm a Reds fan. If you think those attacks make me look bad, you might be looking in the wrong direction. It was my understanding that your ad hominem comments were against the rules of this forum, but I’ll leave it to the moderators to decide that.

 

FYI, the comment that triggered your response was simply based on the fact that the Brewers have given up more HRs than the Reds tonight.

The amount of injuries….. two guys getting hurt a game should never seem normal, but it does in 2021.

I stopped watching in the third inning. Who got hurt tonight? Are you counting Garcia? Did Yelich leave because he was hurt, not ejected?

[rickh150]

Topa and Norris

[BruisedCrew]

Topa and Norris

 

Ah, that didn’t come through just looking at a play by play summary. When I see relievers removed after being ineffective and/or throwing a lot of pitches I just figure they’ve had enough.

 

I guess Bettinger and maybe Gustave will be back soon to fill innings.
