Need this series for sure.

 

[Sports Hernia]

That TBD guy is one tough dude.

 

[sutz]

Ain't that the truth?

 

[NoGain]

I want to win the division. That's all I'm thinking about now. Does finishing 16-10 and 93-69 do it for us? As mentioned a bunch now, our last ten games are against the Rangers and Astros. Buckle up.

 

[IndyHawk]

I bet it's Williamson which I don't want to see.

Same, all I want to do from this point is to win the division. Grab that #2 seed and I'll be happy.

Yeah, no easy games for the rest of the season. They all count. Winning the division is the natural progression from last season's wild card. Want, want, want!

Theo Bartholomew Demetrius. Dude can change eye levels like you wouldn't believe. Nasty change up. Julio can handle him.

 

[Chapow]

Oof. Bullpen has pitched 10 innings the last 2 days. Last thing we needed was another rough start from a starting pitcher.

 

[raisethe3]

Not looking so hot right now...

 

[NoGain]

Ugh. Another rough start. Woo has very little control of his stuff today.

 

[Chapow]

Woo has been straight up awful so far. Like, dreadfully bad. So many of his strikes are catching way more of the zone than you want, and many of his balls (heh) are missing by way too much making them easy takes for the hitters. And then there's the 3 hit batters and 2 walks already in just the first 2 innings...

I won't write off a game this early, but this has the makings of a game that could get out control pretty quickly.

 

[NoGain]

I think this is one of the two or three easiest parks to homer in, so I'm on standby for a few more innings.

 

[Chapow]

Alright, 2 much better innings for Woo than the first 2. Let's go offense.

 

[NoGain]

Damn. High heat got Julio.

 

[Chapow]

Really needed to pick up a run or two there with the bases loaded and Julio at the plate.

 

[Sports Hernia]

Julio’s has to stop chasing pitches outside the zone.
He had been very “unclutch” this year.

 

[Crizilla]

M's 11K's
Reds 1K

 

[Chapow]

Not blaming the ump for the loss, but that dude was a dumpster fire. His zone was all over the place.

 

[sutz]

Tough loss to start the series. Too many free passes early, between hit batters and walks. Surpise Woo got through 5, frankly. Our offense couldn't cash in on the chances we did get. Julio K's on a pitch that was definitely too close to take. Need to get it together.
