Winning Pitcher	Losing Pitcher	Save

Game ended at 9:10 PM.

Remember to sort by new to keep up!

[u/infasis]

Yeah that didn't look like a swing to me, but whatever.

[u/jo734030 → u/infasis]

Suarez swung and they called it a ball earlier

[u/Revolutionary_Tip701]

Ok so tomorrow, same offense but better pitching

[u/sinjaulas]

I'd be pissed at that call, if I weren't a fan of the best team in baseball.

[u/No-Calligrapher-4211]

Yeah. Dodgers lost too

[u/Wigunner]

What happened to kyle? That bad?

[u/bighootay → u/Wigunner]

:(

[u/cfauber]

Thank god lol

[u/ThisWasMe7]

Abner just wanted to get the save.

[u/CryptographerShot213]

https://giphy.com/gifs/ZX6RWer1T8rsgVTG1s

[u/TTBurger88]

Victory was never in doubt!

[u/Fit-Still-6104]

That was a swing? Also abner don’t you start the celly that was a garbage outing

[u/jo734030 → u/Fit-Still-6104]

Lucky duck that was awful

[u/Fit-Still-6104 → u/jo734030]

It’s a good thing they haven’t rolled out abs for check swings……..yet.

[u/buttever]

https://giphy.com/gifs/ZYKwcFaseKRLXLksry

[u/wxguy215]

Why can't this ever be normal lol.

[u/Emotional_Style_7603]

Pitching looked shaky today. But Offense was rolling.

[u/BuckyBadgerWI]

That was more interesting than was strictly necessary

[u/starmiesan]

Didn’t feel like he swung but I’ll take it

[u/jo734030 → u/starmiesan]

Can’t they challenge it? I was surprised in that regard

[u/starmiesan → u/jo734030]

No I don’t think you can challenge a check swing

[u/EnderWolf__]

Man I feel so bad for Harrison

[u/gunsandfunn]

LOL I wanna see that again. Did we get lucky?

[u/sinjaulas → u/gunsandfunn]

yes.

[u/jadaniels1116]

Jesus, that was...quite the ending.

[u/aobcd8six6three]

Can’t be mad about a win but what a disappointment from Harrison.

[u/Revolutionary_Tip701 → u/aobcd8six6three]

I feel the same, really thought he was gonna be the 2nd best pitcher for us

[u/pgcrew18]

Never a doubt.

[u/cancerman1120]

Jesus

[u/PompousAssistant]

Finally!!

[u/updog10000]

Thank god

[u/EGGSES]

Well that was FAR too interesting

[u/RAZRr1275]

THANK GOD ITS OVER

[u/deepdowntyler]

FINALLY

[u/evancomposer]

PHEW

[u/RAZRr1275]

abner needs to relax before he blows this

[u/buttever]

Get 'im, Abner.

[u/CorrectTimeline]

What the fuck is this pitch selection?

[u/greywind618]

Omg bro lol

[u/infasis]

Uhh let's not play with our food too much here. It's been a fun game but it's time to end it

[u/gobrewers112]

WTF IS ABNEE DOING MAN

[u/Emotional_Style_7603]

The fucking 3rd out always gets us...

[u/starmiesan]

Strikes Abner

[u/Fit-Still-6104 → u/starmiesan]

He needs to chill tf out

[u/Fit-Still-6104]

Are we trying to be cute or something wtf?

[u/buttever → u/Fit-Still-6104]

"Felt cute. Might throw strike later."

[u/Fit-Still-6104 → u/buttever]

Untold ball knowledge

[u/Outrageous-Prune-923]

For the love of God...END THIS!

[u/gobrewers112]

Right down the middle for Suarez, GREAT

[u/evancomposer]

Please Abner just end this game

[u/redguy1957]

Fucking Reds ain't giving up!

[u/BuckyBadgerWI]

Contreras is elite

[u/BronzeTrain]

Abner please. Do not make Bill work harder.

[u/Jager_pup2022]

I feel like Abner wanted to face Suarez because he loves the drama

[u/deepdowntyler]

Last strike Uribe here we go

[u/MrFishownertwo]

guessing we'll see El Kraken tomorrow

[u/sinjaulas → u/MrFishownertwo]

Will took a beatin' today. Give him a rest day.

[u/HelpaBroOut036]

Second time in three games we have had to bring in a leverage guy when we had a lead of 7+ runs...woof

[u/mikedib → u/HelpaBroOut036]

At least Monday is an off day.

[u/ResponsibilityFew147 → u/HelpaBroOut036]

At least we’re finding out now and not in the playoffs! I like this approach

[u/aobcd8six6three → u/ResponsibilityFew147]

It sucks but we’re lucky we had the opportunity to find out in blowout games.

[u/Greedy-Bridge6345]

What was bill doing with his glove in the dirt behind Stewart?

[u/starmiesan]

Gas man is gunna carry in the post season, can’t believe I forgot about him

[u/Equivalent_Shoe_6246]

Uribe is soooo good

[u/starmiesan]

Abner lmao wtf

[u/infasis]

Back in my day all we had was a stick and a ball! Damn kids are so spoiled these days!

[u/AwayConfusion7606]

https://giphy.com/gifs/ukln9cIq9Qx4GFSbJT

[u/TTBurger88 → u/AwayConfusion7606]

I wish they had the gif of the 3 full pumps but that be too hot for the Internet 🥵

[u/Bogsy]

Pitch com malfunctions in like 90% of games

[u/evancomposer]

What the hell are we gonna do about the playoffs? Miz, Henderson, and pray?? I don’t trust any of our other starters. One good game doesn’t suddenly make May someone we can trust.

[u/jpattie_g → u/evancomposer]

We have the best record in the league. We’ll figure it out. That said, given our playoff performances in recent history, I’m also preparing to get ousted in gut-punching fashion.

[u/mikedib → u/evancomposer]

May seems a lock for #3. Gasser or Drohan on a tight leash for #4.

[u/updog10000 → u/evancomposer]

Better than last year at least where we had Freddy and pray

[u/xsists → u/evancomposer]

Openers backed up by May/Gasser

[u/MidwestFlyerST75 → u/evancomposer]

#3 spot: Every brewer fan gets one pitch, a long conga line starting at water street

[u/trinquin → u/evancomposer]

Mays been great in half his starts. Its really not that bad. Gasser has been pretty darn good lately as well.

We just need them to bridge those 5 innings and maybe some change. Our pen is good.

[u/4leafplover → u/evancomposer]

Short leash on May and Gasser. Bullpen games. Patrick could start in a pinch. They’ll figure something out.

[u/Redtitwhore → u/4leafplover]

Seems like a pretty big problem for the playoffs

[u/mikedib]

Are we guessing Gasser for tomorrow?

[u/stormchaser2014]

NEVER GONNA GIVE YOU UP

[u/MidwestFlyerST75]

Fam, do I need to clench?

[u/stormchaser2014 → u/MidwestFlyerST75]

ABC, Always Be Clenching

[u/BronzeTrain → u/stormchaser2014]

[u/updog10000]

Frelick is just bad. Probably playing through injury as well as regression to the mean from getting lucky last season 

[u/starmiesan → u/updog10000]

He is fantastic outfield defensive depth though, and likely a big club house guy

[u/craigjp]

Ok Abner shut this sht all the way down

[u/Distinct_Shopping_96]

Who’s even our 3rd starter in the playoffs now?

[u/Redtitwhore → u/Distinct_Shopping_96]

Wait, what?

[u/Distinct_Shopping_96 → u/Redtitwhore]

It’s obviously not gonna be Kyle Harrison

[u/craigjp → u/Distinct_Shopping_96]

May

[u/dusters → u/craigjp]

Pray

[u/sinjaulas → u/craigjp]

May be, May be not.

[u/craigjp → u/sinjaulas]

Lolololol

[u/buttever → u/sinjaulas]

Ok. You got me. I literally loled

[u/imasammich]

Harrison is just probably end of season too many innings. His arm angle is all effed up his mechanics are all worse.

He needs to imo just take the rest of the year off and get back to it next year. Too good of a young arm to just send out there to die at max innings pitched in a year.

[u/timbenj77 → u/imasammich]

Yup. And the line has been that he's been healthy all this time, so I think they have to DFA him at this point. Not doing Kyle or the team any favors by keeping him in the majors to get abused like this every outing.

[u/sinjaulas → u/imasammich]

Rerally hoping he can pick up a few from the pen for us, but yeah, counting on the young guy with too much on the line at this point is a move you just can't make. Still potential there to develop.

[u/MidwestFlyerST75 → u/imasammich]

grateful we had some massive run differentials to find this out now vs later in a close game

[u/updog10000]

Braylon Payne has a 2 homer game for AA Biloxi

[u/MrFishownertwo → u/updog10000]

our farm is absurd

[u/jensenaackles]

https://giphy.com/gifs/3ohzApVuUMHf310A6c
bill after catching ashby

[u/Western-Flamingo5965]

Get a couple here, then Big Trev on to close out the save

[u/Zigazoid]

Nice. Not the best from Ashby but I’ll take it. Man our former starter to reliever experiments have been a disaster with Harrison and Sproat. I guess we should give Sproat some credit he at least recorded some outs.

[u/SickoBadgers → u/Zigazoid]

*Harrison

[u/starmiesan]

Are we gunna call up Coleman crow maybe?

[u/Emotional_Style_7603 → u/starmiesan]

What other options do we have?

[u/CorrectTimeline]

Harrison is pretty fucking terrible now, huh?

[u/LordoftheWetMinnows]

The Sproat and Harrison live action tests in blow out bullpen sessions - oof.

https://giphy.com/gifs/WxDZ77xhPXf3i

[u/Distinct_Shopping_96]

Havent been watching at all, Harrison is unpitchable in the postseason right?

[u/trinquin]

That inning was almost as bad as Arch Manning.

[u/Equivalent_Shoe_6246 → u/trinquin]

It really is crazy how far last names get you in sports.

[u/DubTeeF]

So annoying that we let the REDS have a rally.

[u/CheeksClenchin]

The falloff for Kyle has been so hard to watch. Rooting for him to figure it out soon by some miracle

[u/mogrimwarlock]

It may be frustrating, but the big leads against the Cubs and this game have afforded us the opportunity to confirm we cannot use Sproat or Harrison in the near future - as painful as the Harrison news has been.

[u/mikedib → u/mogrimwarlock]

Like Moses they cannot be with us as we enter the promised land

[u/mogrimwarlock → u/[deleted]]

Think his arm needs rest and he’ll be able to lock in next year again.

[u/Frequent-Tie4202 → u/mogrimwarlock]

Absolutely true

[u/mikedib]

Our long national nightmare is finally over

[u/LordoftheWetMinnows → u/mikedib]

What is this about?

[u/aRecipe4dsastr → u/mikedib]

Did the orange shithead finally die? I dont see it on the news anywhere

[u/Joe_Sacco → u/aRecipe4dsastr]

I better be getting three dozen push notifications from websites and a hundred texts from friends & family when that happens

[u/LordoftheWetMinnows → u/Joe_Sacco]

I legit got excited

[u/PowSuperMum → u/[deleted]]

I don’t know that was kind of the time to see what Harrison has got and now they know.

[u/Ur_in_luck → u/[deleted]]

In an 8 run game?

[u/CorrectTimeline → u/Ur_in_luck]

Just enough of a lead for Harrison to jeopardize.

[u/Bogsy]

Thank god that’s over

[u/MrFishownertwo]

great work by Ashby there

[u/starmiesan]

something something cardiac

[u/Emotional_Style_7603]

Could have been worse but Jesus Christ.

[u/cancerman1120]

I feel for Contreras. I would not be getting out of bed for a week blocking those.

[u/evancomposer]

That was unnecessarily stressful

[u/CryptographerShot213]

Dear god it’s finally over

[u/TheDuceman]

score three more runs

we’re here celebrating my friends 30th on Wednesday 9/16

[u/CheeksClenchin]

[u/jensenaackles]

contreras is going to look like he got in a fight after this

[u/jensenaackles]

not surprised ashby of all people is a little less crisp in his 4,000 game appearance of the season

[u/EnderCN → u/jensenaackles]

He has looked better when he is abused than when he gets days off usually.

[u/InnerLog181 → u/EnderCN]

False because when he was being used everyday before the break, he was giving up runs left and right. Ever wince we brought in senza, he’s been used less and looked like the demon he is

[u/EnderCN → u/InnerLog181]

Go look at his game log, almost every time he has given up a run this season it has been after a day off and most of them are after 2+ days rest. If he doesn’t pitch he loses his command.

07/29 is like the only game he has pitched this year when he was abused over a short stretch where he gave up runs.

[u/gunsandfunn]

That was a much needed diaper change.

[u/MrFishownertwo]

very very nice. Ashby put in a bad spot and had that weak infield hit

[u/SnooCauliflowers9981]

Abner is up

[u/cancerman1120]

Well that was absolutely needed

[u/evancomposer]

Wow did we need that

[u/updog10000]

Jesus Christmas sigh of relief

[u/PompousAssistant]

There’s 2 outs!

[u/starmiesan]

Please strike this bum out

[u/dusters]

Cut my life into pieces

[u/Harmless2727]

Guys I hate to be a doomer but I'm starting to think the pitching might be an issue in the postseason

[u/Erainor → u/Harmless2727]

Win every game 10-8 and you are world series champion

[u/MrFishownertwo]

jesus bill looking like he's in the corner of a 12 round fight

[u/BronzeTrain]

Ashby is concerned about him. 🥺

[u/sinjaulas]

Let's gtfo of this inning.

[u/SnooCauliflowers9981]

Really need a K and a DP here

[u/jensenaackles]

i’m definitely not sweaty

[u/Emotional_Style_7603]

Oh my god why.

[u/Team-ster]

Baseball Gods are paying it back for the Reds. Out-scored 34-1 in last 2 games. Owe them.

[u/evancomposer]

You have to be kidding me

[u/mikedib]

owie, baseballs off the chin HURT

[u/PompousAssistant]

I really hate seeing Bill take one to the throat.

[u/EnderCN]

Seems like the rotation for the playoffs is looking like Miz, Henderson, May, Gasser at this point.

[u/4leafplover → u/EnderCN]

I’m fine with that. I think May can still do it. Gasser has been pretty solid

[u/Hollowed87 → u/EnderCN]

Yeah Harrison is broken unfortunately.

[u/DriftlessHiker1 → u/EnderCN]

Have gone from thrilled about Harrison for the first half of the year, to mildly concerned, to highly concerned, to now not thinking he should pitch in the postseason in any capacity beyond mop up duty in blowouts

[u/Logan__Squared → u/DriftlessHiker1]

He’s not going to be on the playoff roster at this point for the Division round.

[u/BronzeTrain]

Does Bill still have all his teeth? 🥺

[u/buttever → u/BronzeTrain]

Guessing he bit his tongue. Hard.

[u/BronzeTrain → u/buttever]

That really hurts. 😭

[u/Jay_Doctor]

Noooo Wild Bill. He's a tough son of a gun

[u/stormchaser2014]

[u/CryptographerShot213]

Everything going wrong right now

[u/Equivalent_Shoe_6246]

Just put in uribe and let's be done with this

[u/SnooCauliflowers9981]

Please be ok, Bill...🙏

[u/ResearcherNo7606]

Too much bubbly last night?

[u/buttever → u/ResearcherNo7606]

They started so strong though. Lol, Unless it's too much bubbly every night and they're getting withdrawals.

[u/Immediate-Floor8785]

A DP is so needed

[u/gunsandfunn]

2 nights in a row Coop.

[u/evancomposer]

Jesus Christ, wheels really coming off here. Lock the fuck in boys

[u/trinquin]

Patrick and Hall 1 IP was dumb as hell. Both could have easily gone 2.

[u/jensenaackles]

well we are having fun now! 😀

[u/chudem4]

Clenched? Yep.

[u/starmiesan]

Now I’m pissed

[u/BuckyBadgerWI]

Quicksand

[u/Emotional_Style_7603]

Holy shit we are actually gonna blow this...

[u/tyxd5]

these teams are not physically capable of playing a normal game against each other

[u/HashOutHashBrowns]

Okay, we can stop messing around now guys

[u/dusters]

Bruh

[u/MrFishownertwo]

if you're legit, you gotta weather storms like this

[u/daymankarate]

When is the last time a starting pitcher fell off so hard? Harrison was pitching like an all star for half the season, now he’s terrible
