Brewers 3, Reds 2 T8
Reds had a great start to the 6th. Votto led off with a single and Suarez walked on four pitches. On a 3-2 pitch, Aquino swung at ball four and GIDP.
Moustakas just doubled to put runners on second and third with one out.

If getting swept by the Cards didn't finish Maddon, losing 9-2 to Pittsburgh might.

Wonder if the Cubs and their fans think those "Try not to Suck" shirts are still clever.

Is it me, or did Dyson have a "There's-no-way-I'm-ever-going-to-hit-that" expression on his face after Flaherty threw him that 1-1 slider?

What a bizarre bounce

Doesn’t bounce if they can’t hit it.

I made it some time after gant fucked it up. Another inning maybe. I was streaming it on my phone from bed and passed out
I hope last nights game isnt the come apart. Brewers are 2 back. Cards wasted a stellar start and now have an exhausted bullpen.

I'm sure Wacha will give them seven or eight innings this afternoon.

I'm curious about this offensive non-support phenomenon that's cost Flaherty a few wins during his hot streak. We've seen this many times in the past with various pitchers, so maybe it's not as unusual as it seems. Still, it's quite noticeable. I wonder if everyone's sphincter tightens when a pitcher's duel appears to be developing and the bats suffer as a result.

I think it's natural for guys to think "Hey, Jack is pitching. We're not going to need a lot of runs tonight." But I don't recall ever thinking the Cardinals of mid-'00s had that mindset when Carpenter had his dominant run.Â
And when Fowler homered off Leake to lead off the game, some of them may have thought it was going to be easy. I know I did.Â
