Game Thread (5/11/2022): Brewers (Houser) at Reds (Gutierrez) - 11:35 AM CDT

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Perdomo ain't gonna do the trick either.

Next man up ...

[SomewhereInTime]

We've got some true trashcans in the front end of the bullpen now.  Probably not a big deal when down 3 in the 8th but definitely puts more pressure on better relievers to have to pitch more.  You can't trust these guys in the 5th or 6th when you need a decent middle reliever.

[Brewcrew82]

Bring up Ethan Small for that matter....

[titletownking]

Pitiful road stand. 2-4 and some pretty horrendous losses. This team needs reliable pen arms and a bat in centerfield. A completely winnable game minus the early errors and awful pen. 

[willie key]

Are the brewers any good

Its hard to tell right now

[SomewhereInTime]

Can't have the greatest comeback in franchise history without being down a ton of runs first!  One down, eight to go!

Good teams have bad series. You know that.

Didn't realize it was a day game -- wow, we got smoked today. I'll just pretend it was an off day.

Case in point, the Dodgers are on the verge of losing a series to the Pirates...

I don't think they've put the bats away yet, three down, six to go on the road to the greatest comeback in franchise history!!

I dont know yet

 

People got pretty excited about beating the reds and pirates at home.    Lets be honest the Reds beat our rear ends this week

 

That isnt good.     At all

 

I think this team has a lot to prove.    Their formula for winning in the past is defintely not the same in early days here.    The bullpen doesnt inspire confidence       At all

[SomewhereInTime]

The cycle!

[Brewcrew82]

THE CYCLE. AND AGAINST THE REDS AGAIN!

[Sakatarama]

What a  strange and peculiar loss this is. Five Home runs and yet, losing by 6.

EDIT; AND a cycle!

Sure will be a crazy loss for the Reds

[Outlander]

Third cycle by Yelich against the Reds, should get one more against them this season.

[wildcat2237]

I am hopeful Mejia is DFA'd by noon tomorrow.  Awful.

If this team is "going for it" Small should be up asap. 

[stoutdude04]

This is an annoying game.  I realize the Reds threw out a gas can, but man, the Crew gave up a bazillion runs that put this so far out of reach.

[SomewhereInTime]

Update!  Five runs in, still nobody out!  Four runs to go!

[owbc]

What is happening

[SomewhereInTime]

It's going to happen!!!  Believe!!!!  Tying run on deck!
