Big bases loaded 2 run double for Moose, two run single for Farmer, 3 run HR for Barnhart. Miley pitch count is high with 37 after two innings. Reds second - Winker solo HR, Moose with another double followed by Farmer rbi single. 9-0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted August 7, 2021 Report Share Posted August 7, 2021 8 hours ago, Stlboiler23 said: I think the Brewers are clearly the class of the central. Reds can get a WC spot though. I wouldn't say that and the only thing the Brewers have on the Reds is the bullpen. The Reds offense is far superior to the Brewers and for most of the year the Brewers offense was last in the NL. Two things I see that has hampered the Reds is the Brewers sweep right after the all star break. Second is the difference in the record vs the NL West. The Reds 1-5 record vs Arizona is terrible.

IU Scott Posted August 7, 2021 Report Share Posted August 7, 2021 I think they have found the right roles for Hembree and Doolittle and that is bring them in the 8th and 9th with a 10 run lead. Reds have scored 17 runs in this series and 16 had scored in the 1st or 2nd innings. I think In the last 5 games the Reds have only scored 1 run against the opposing teams bullpen. The last 3 Reds losses they were ahead going into the 7th and lost two on walk off hits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rico Posted August 7, 2021 Report Share Posted August 7, 2021 I see the Red Sox are fading fast.. The Mets are no longer in 1st. And I think the Tigers are going to pass The Tribe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milw put on an offensive display out slugging SF. That game right there is the epitome of the Brewers season. And yes the Reds picked up a game on the Friars.

It was said that they were not better than the Reds at this point in the season. Obviously, if you look at the entire season, Milwaukee has been 7 games better.

5fouls Posted August 7, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2021 Odds are against any pitcher getting to 20 wins this season. Kyle Hendricks and Julio Urius have 13 wins. No one else has more than 11. With about 50 games left, the average starter will have 10-11 starts left. Can Hendricks win 7 out of 10 with the current Cubs roster? Urius is probably only the 4th best starter in the Dodgers rotation. Where is Mickey Lolich, and his 31 wins? How about Wilbur Wood, who would both win and lose 20 in the same season? Let alone Cy Young and his 511 wins. Let's say the leader this year ends up with 18 wins. It would take 29 years of winning 18 games to surpass Cy. In other words, there is no danger that the award for best pitcher will be renamed the Kyle Hendricks award. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proud2BAHoosier Posted August 7, 2021 Report Share Posted August 7, 2021 Winners of 9 of their last 11 games, the Yankees got a win last night against the Mariners after a walk-off single by the forgotten man, Brett Gardner, 3-2. Because both starting pitchers, Cole and Montgomery are out with covid, Boone had to use 9 pitchers to get the job done. Yankees could be hitting their stride, we shall see...... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think the Brewers are some ungodly great team, but in a 120 game season thus far... you can't compare the Reds and Brewers. MIL is significantly better up until this point. You 3 have just acted like because the bullpen isn't good that it doesn't effect the overall team's "ranking" or whatever you want to call it. Wins are wins and losses are losses. Btw.. that was the pitching they went up against last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a different time for sure. 😊 I mention him because he was still pitching when I was a kid and can remember watching him.

I remember reading the saying for the Braves in 1948 was "Spahn, Sain, and Dear Lord two days of rain." And he could hit too. For a 21 year career, he had 363 hits, 57 doubles, 6 triples, 35 hrs and 189 rbis. Like I said, it was a different era and each team had their memorable star players. 😊 Oh yeah... he served three years of military duty during WWII.
