I’m here for the dub robe
First!
Diaz good. Sims bad
Thank you Dodger’s for swinging early and often and not burning up Diaz. Much appreciated.
*takes two blood pressure pills* I’m fine.
I will never say no to drama free 9th from Alexis. Glad he was able to come out of the dugout and deliver a quick and decisive save.
We can beat the Dodgers just fine but God forbid we beat the Brewers
Watching our bullpen really is an extreme sport sometimes
Never had a doubt.
Having an ump that isn’t absolute dogshit can make a game much more enjoyable
😎😎😎😎😎😎😎. I don’t fear any team but the breweres loool
Remember a month into the season when we couldn’t win a 1 run game?
#And this one belongs to the Reds
Only half a game back from first baby
Finally bedtime lol! Not bad at all, was hoping for at least 1 out of three from the Dodgers so now time for them to take the series.
diaz did good tonight and that’s all i’m choosing to say about this bullpen
Dodgers fan.
We would’ve all lost our minds if that 4th DP had come through.
Glad we made it close. It’s gonna be a hell of a series.
Hope Joey finds it again. Your team is fun to watch. See you in the playoffs.
1-4 is a brutal stretch of doyers to face good lord
Spencer Steer is truly lucky number 7.
Thank heavens for an easy 9th inning! Well done Diaz!
Hell of a win. Kind of wins that prepare you for October
Its a couple days away from August, we’ve beat the Dodgers 3/4 times this year, were half a game out of first, and some of you dorks still dont want to make any moves. Get lost!
Who cares if we burned through the bullpen, Weaver is starting tomorrow so we’ll just score 12 runs anyways
Lotsa homers! ATOBTTR! Keep this up while the Brew Crew loses to the Braves and we will find ourselves in 1st place come Monday.
Brantley and Welsh often talk about Sims trying too to spin the ball instead of pitching. Felt like that was what happened tonight, and it almost lost us the game. When he’s on, it’s great, but when he’s not, it ends up like tonight.
Glad we got the dub (robe), though.
Huge win to get back on track and against a quality opponent to boot. Only downside is I’m tired and now I’ve gotta watch the post game show to see the Dub Robe
A win is a win, a Brewers loss is a double win
We look like the best team in the league when we play the Not Brewers.
Btw it’s hard to believe steer is a freaking rookie
Reds are elite against non brewers teams. Good thing we extended the manager that can’t beat the top team in the division
Why did India get pulled?
Put the reds back in the NL west, Manfred.
Reds need to get some rental relievers. Great win to start the series. No faith in Weaver tomorrow so bullpen better be on its game tomorrow.
Reds – W
Brewers – L
Giants – L
Serpientes – L
Cards – LOL
Anyone but MKE please
Alexis Díaz is good at baseball.
Bummed on no dub robe. But psyched on Williamson’s development so I’m willing to wait til the next W
It’s ok guys, the bad Mr. Brewer is gone now
ATOBTTR
