Brandon Woodruff

The Brewers activated Brandon Woodruff from the injured list today, where he had been nursing a shoulder injury since April 30. Before getting injured, Woodruff pitched 30.0 innings in April, posting a 3.60 ERA and a 3.97 FIP with 25 strikeouts and seven walks. The 33-year-old hasn’t pitched a full season since 2022, including missing the entire season in 2024, but when he has pitched, he’s been good. His ERA has only ever been above 4.00 in 2017, his first year in the major leagues.

Woodruff doesn’t walk batters and he doesn’t give up home runs. He had one of the top strikeout rates and one of the lowest walk rates in MLB in 64.2 innings last season. In 2025, Woodruff’s splits were about even, with right-handed batters hitting him a little better than lefties. Neither hit him well with an average below .200, but righties had six home runs against him. This year, he’s allowed four home runs, two each to left and right-handed hitters.

Brady Singer

It’s no secret that Brady Singer has not had a good season, and it all starts with the home run ball. He’s given up 17 home runs, third-most in the National League. Of those 17 home runs allowed, 11 have been to left-handed batters. Lefties are hitting .324 against him this season. His strikeout rate is also down significantly from last year, at 17.1%.

Singer could be turning a corner though. His ERA in June is 2.40 over 15.0 innings and three starts. he’s allowed only home run in that span and his strikeout rate is at 24%. He’ll have a tough test tonight against the division-leading Brewers, but it will be an interesting start to watch. Milwaukee doesn’t hit a lot of home runs, but they make contact and are able to manufacture runs in other ways, such as stealing bases.

  1. Eric the Red

    I know it’s hard making a schedule. But division rivals should not play 7 times in 10 days. It’s terrible for a whole bunch of reasons, especially with the new “balanced” schedule.

  2. Melvin

    I’m sure the Brewers kind of salivate when they see us coming. It’s time to start putting a bad taste in their mouths.

  3. Goldenbear

    Playing the Brewers. Singer pitching. Woodruff pitching. Elly not activated. And yet, here I am thinking that, maybe, the Reds make it 3 in a row tonight and inch up a little in the standings.

  4. Mark Moore

    We have seen the enemy and he is Bernie

  5. Dennis Westrick

    We need Brady the Bulldog tonight! Some early runs would be nice as well! Go Reds!

  6. Mark Moore

    OK, let’s Kick This Pig …

    One more game without Elly. Hopefully less of Steer at 2B going forward (maybe less of Suarez at 3B, though he seemed to do fairly well in NYC).

    Bottom line here … we REALLY need a win to start this series and give us a boost.

  7. Mark Moore

    Anyone know what the delay is? I’m seeing a lot of “stuff” on the field that won’t be cleared off in 7 minutes.

    • Mark Moore

      Well … nevermind. Just didn’t look like they would get it ready.

      Onward we march.

      • Daytonnati

        Mark – Sometimes they pre-record those pre-game comments.

    • greenmtred

      The Brewers’ shattered dreams?

  8. citizen54

    FG projects that the WC has 83 wins. The Reds are currently forecasted for 78 wins so the Reds need to win 5 games that they aren’t supposed to. Taking 2 out of 3 would be a good start.

    • Chris

      Well Singer starts off the game on a great note. Let’s Go to to work with the bats! Let’s give him some runs to work with!

    • Jason T.

      2-13 against the division is pitiful.
      2 out of 3 against the Brewers seems like a monumental ask.

  9. Dennis Westrick

    No Elly tonight? Disappointing!

  10. Mark Moore

    Anybody have THAT on their card for Singer’s first inning? 😮

  11. RedsGettingBetter

    Singer inducing swing and misses with his sinker at 91.2 mph

  12. Jason T.

    Nice way to start the game by Singer. Keep it up.

  13. Andrew Brewer

    Gre1at first by Singer ! We need that playoff attitude tonight !

  14. MK

    A cyst at the shoulder joint is a side effect of a steroid injection.

  15. Andrew Brewer

    Woodruff’s four seamer is only 89 – 90 mph… should be short outing.

    Rain some long balls !

    • Andrew Brewer

      Wow, 2 flyouts and a strikeout … should be batting practice !

  16. Dennis Westrick

    Here we go with the WALKS! Why?

    • Melvin

      hahaha You’re hilarious. A hundred years from now they can put that on your tombstone:

      Walks…WHY? 😀

  17. RedsGettingBetter

    Walking batters is the worst Singer can do

  18. Jason T.

    Singer full on collapse watch in effect.

    • Jason T.

      Singer gets Brewers to strand runners. Marvelous!

  19. Andrew Brewer

    Singer starts out the 2nd with two walks … but K’s Mitchell for the first out !

    Can’t afford to beat ourselves !

    • Andrew Brewer

      And he gets out of the inning unscathed !

  20. Dennis Westrick

    Way to battle back Mr. Brady!

  21. RedsGettingBetter

    Singer bouces back to get out of jam unscathed… It’s weird getting a scoreless frame after 2 leadoff walks against the Brewers

  22. Mark Moore

    That was surprising in a good way. Figured Frelick would make us pay.

  23. Mark Moore

    Anyone else get weary of the ridiculous “framing” by Contreras? Trying to get a strike by dragging your glove up almost a foot? C’mon, man …

  24. Jason T.

    Woodruff having no problems getting Reds hitters out so far.

  25. Andrew Brewer

    Reds start the 2nd with 2 K’s… Woodruff is doing nothing fancy.

    At least Geno hit it hard.

  26. Dennis Westrick

    3 SOs by Reds hitters thru 2 innings with NO hits! Back to being the bad Reds tonight!

  27. Jeremiah

    Singer and Woodruff soft tossers in today’s game, topping out at about 91mph. Didn’t realize Woodruff’s career ERA was so good.

  28. Dennis Westrick

    Singer is battling but his pitch count is not good!

  29. Andrew Brewer

    Singer retires them in order in the 3rd… nice!

  30. Jason T.

    Singer keeping the Brewers at 0. Going to need that the way our offense is looking early tonight.

  31. Indy Red Man

    Neither starter cracking 92…..we’re gonna party like its 1986

      • Indy Red Man

        Except Woodruff was down 3-0 2-0 and gave them several right down the middle

  32. Mark Moore

    Like the ambush attempt. Just needed to lift it a little.

  33. Andrew Brewer

    Reds get good pitches to hit, and a couple get hit hard, but we go down in order in the 3rd. (Woodruff throws only 5 pitches, one was a K)

  34. RedsGettingBetter

    Despite Woodruff has many years not facing the Reds he comes in to dominate them again apparently even when there are new hitters in Reds lineup …I can’t believe this

  35. Andrew Brewer

    Should challenge that 3rd pitch to Bauer…

  36. Jason T.

    Come on Reds offense, wake up!
    Singer doing his job, now do yours.

  37. Andrew Brewer

    Leadoff Double goes for naught … this one is going to be interesting.

  38. Dennis Westrick

    9-pitch inning for Singer! He should be good for at least one more inning if not two!

      • Dennis Westrick

        6 scoreless innings by Singer would be a win in my book!

  39. Chris

    Dunn might have tried to start something with a bunt there

  40. DaveCT

    Is there a drinking game for every time Sadak says something about Woodruff?

  41. Jason T.

    Woodruff may throw a CG at this point. Reds have nothing.

  42. Dennis Westrick

    No hits thru 4 innings and Woodruff at only 47 pitches! Not looking good!

  43. Andrew Brewer

    Woodruff mixed in a couple of curveballs and a changeup that inning, but nothing the Reds shouldn’t be hitting. Must be a post Yankee wins hangover. Scoreless after 4.

  44. Roger Garrett

    I will never give up on the Reds but it is sad that again tonight they have fanned 6 times in 4 innings.They have no chance unless they put the ball in play.No chance.Yes a couple of line drives it looks like but that’s not going to get it done.Its just not.

  45. Jason T.

    Singer looking real good. Encouraging.
    Need offense to wake up. Now.

  46. Dennis Westrick

    Good old fashion pitcher’s duel tonight! Time to start getting some hits and make Woodruff pitch from the stretch!

  47. Chris

    Singer giving us a nice game if the bats wake up!

  48. Andrew Brewer

    Singer shuts down the Brewers in the 5th. He’s got a one hitter going.
    Reds don’t have a hit yet.

  49. RedAlert

    Nice recovery after a rough start to game by Singer ….come on offense , help this guy out !

  50. Andrew Brewer

    Thought we would get a baserunner there… but no, Geno goes down looking.

    • Mark A Verticchio

      Looks like a perfect game.

  51. Dennis Westrick

    Heck, at this rate Woodruff is going to pitch a complete game shutout!

  52. Jason T.

    Reds juggernaut offense with a paltry 0 hits. Woodruff owns the Reds. Not very good at bats either. That’s the discouraging aspect.

  53. RedsGettingBetter

    This should be a joke … Woodruff is coming from an injury and has retired 15 batters in a perfect way …

  54. Dennis Westrick

    Heck, at this rate Woodruff is going to throw a shutout!

    • RedsGettingBetter

      It’s a perdect game right now

  55. Jason T.

    Not so sure footed Sal still makes a nice play. He’s a gamer.

  56. RedAlert

    Barry Larkin adds absolutely nothing to this broadcast …. Nothing

  57. Goldenbear

    Against top of the rotation pitchers like Woodruff, this Reds lineup looks completely helpless. And Singer pitching his butt off.

  58. Mark Moore

    Tyler is just beyond human in his ABS abilities. Just … WOW!!!

  59. Chris

    Com’on hitters, let’s get Singer a win!

  60. RedsFanForLife

    Need this from Singer until the trade deadline, so we can get the max return when he’s traded. We should also hope for Lowe, Suarez, Stephenson, Lodolo, Burke, Johnson, Ferguson and Pagan to be at the top of their games over the next month+. Sellers at the deadline, reduce the payroll and play the younger players that are brought up and acquired in the trades. Get younger, more roster flexible, give younger players more experience and go into the offseason with a plan of creating future rosters that are capable of being more competitive over a longer period of time. Don’t make the mistake of not acquiring assets with players that will become FAs and reducing the payroll.

  61. Andrew Brewer

    that’s the first challenge I’ve seen that should have worked but didn’t … It was a strike ! Yeah, we got the K anyway eventually.

    • Andrew Brewer

      Singer leads the charmed life thru 6 !

  62. Mark A Verticchio

    They just go up there without any sort of plan = poorly coached.

  63. RedsGettingBetter

    A really weird offensive game at GABP …just 1 hit through the 6th with no runs…
    Singer made his best season start so far

  64. Jason T.

    9k’s so far by Reds hitters. SMH.

    And a Reds hit! OMG!

  65. CincyDo

    Marte looked at a fastball strike on pitch 4 and swung at 2 balls on pitch 5 and 6. Pretty much summarizes offense problem.

  66. JB

    Reds hitters love that high fastball. Can’t hit it but come hell or high water they are swinging.

  67. Oldtimer

    Exciting game so far. Both pitchers doing well into the 6th.

  68. Jason T.

    Please send McLain to AAA. Dude can’t hit. At all.

  69. CincyDo

    McLain has 2 fastballs over the plate to it and didnt do anything with thr opportunities. Swung at a change up out of the strike zone to strike out. Sigh

  70. Mark A Verticchio

    They may have beaten the Yankees 2 of 3 but this is an awful offense against any pitcher that knows what he is doing.

  71. Andrew Brewer

    At least Ty Steve broke the drought, but one hit is all we got in the 6th.

  72. RedAlert

    When Elly comes back , send McLain to bench role permanently …. Play Arroyo every day at 2B …. McLain absolutely nothing more than a bench player at this point … probably lucky he’s still in big leagues ..

  73. Jeremiah

    It’s like two Greg Maddux’s out there tonight, dominating in the low 90mphs! Who will break through?

    Somewhere the Dodgers are watching this thinking, we will dominate both those teams like last year if they make the playoffs again.

  74. Jeremiah

    Schlitter is really good, no shame getting beat by him…Woodruff has been good his whole career. But the Reds it seems against good to great pitchers score a run or less below even those pitchers current or career ERAs. It seems some nights the Reds are 2-3 hitters still away from having 85-90 win type of Offense.

  75. Goldenbear

    Considering the opponent and what’s at stake, Singer’s best game as a Red.

    • Mark A Verticchio

      His best game as a Red and the garbage offense can’t get him one darn run.

  76. Jason T.

    Singer with an outstanding outing! He did his part.

  77. Mark Moore

    Props to Steer for that attempt. Bernie’s boy is very fast.

    What a solid 7 for Singer. Now we have to find him a run or 6.

  78. Lex

    Singer going 7 scoreless… just as we all imagined!

  79. Dennis Westrick

    Singer has done his part with no runs allowed thru 7 innings!! Reds are offering no support as evidenced by the 10 SOs thru 6 innings!

    • Oldtimer

      You must have gone crazy when Ken Johnson of Colt 45s no hit the Reds in April 1964, but Reds still won 1-0 on 9th inning run scored by Pete Rose on an error and Nuxy tossed a 4 hitter,

  80. Jeremiah

    Random thought…people get on the Reds for getting whooped by the Dodgers in the playoffs last year…I think they actually whooped Milwaukee worse. I’d just be happy if the Reds made the playoffs and were competitive against the Phillies, Braves, etc. Dodgers still a different story for the most part. Brewers are great franchise, but probably still missing a power hitter needed or two to beat Dodgers or Braves.

    • Mark Moore

      Yep. Yelich isn’t who he once was. But they are a solid club that competes no matter what.

  81. RedsGettingBetter

    A really big effort by Singer with 7 2-hit shutout innings …the best performance by a Reds starter through the season

  82. Jeremiah

    Great game by Singer. As many flaws as the Reds have, if Singer, Lodolo improve, Greene comes back, along with Burns, Abbott, the Reds could be competitive most nights for several months. Who knows, maybe the Offense clicks a little, Bullpen improves just a little. They could still hang around .500 and in the race if the starting pitching starts to meet it’s preseason potential.

  83. RedlegScott

    Pitchers certainly doing their part.

  84. Hanawi

    Where did this come from with Singer? Hoping they found something with his pitch selection or tipping pitches or whatever that he has changed and can keep this up.

  85. Mark A Verticchio

    Bleday has really cooled off.

  86. CincyDo

    What happen to ‘just put ball in play’ Bleday?

  87. RedAlert

    The absolute lack of professional hitters in this organization is stunning …. Tells you all you need to know about the front office and scouting department ….. just unbelievable

  88. Mark A Verticchio

    Just a horrible night for an offense that was looking to get some momentum after 2 wins against the Yankees in New York.

  89. Jason T.

    New Brewers pitcher, same pathetic Reds offense. I get it, some nights it’s just not there but the Reds have too many of those kind of nights and our division owns us. Not a good look. At all.

  90. Andrew Brewer

    Lefty Aaron Ashby on the other side in the 7th … nothing doing for our Redlegs in the 7th. Score still knotted at 0.

  91. Chris

    Man o man Stephenson! ABS challenge a real weapon in his hands!!!

  92. Roger Garrett

    Just never thought the Reds hitters would do what they have done tonight in a very very important series even this early in the season.Maybe they squeak out a win but at some point against the teams in you division you just have to play better or in this case put the ball in play.Twenty one outs and 12 by strikeout is just not acceptable.Singer was awesome and could not do any better tonight.

  93. RedlegScott

    Did anyone else see that nice article about Singer in ESPN where he paid off all of his parents debt?

    • Mark Moore

      I did not. Stand up thing to do.

  94. Jason T.

    McLain got real lucky that the runner was so slow.

    • Mark Moore

      Or he’s a very talented MI who stuck with it and made a strong, accurate throw. Slower runner did help, but he never panicked.

      • Jason T.

        He’s certainly not with the Reds for his offensive abilities, that’s for sure.

  95. Chris

    Mclain stayed with it made the play and Moll finishes them off. Time to score some runs!

    • Andrew Brewer

      Unfortunately, Uribe followed Ashby.

  96. RedsGettingBetter

    This game is becoming dramatic into the end

  97. Mark A Verticchio

    I wonder how many teams have over half their outs by strike outs? The Reds sure do lately.

  98. Roger Garrett

    Don’t need any heroes just put it in play,take the walk hit it the other way.Do anything to get on base and add some pressure.The Brewers defense is asleep.

  99. old-school

    Reds 1-22 with 12 K’s. Brewers not much better.

    What game are we watching?

    If there’s a work stoppage, all sides lose. Players and owners and fans. Lower the mound. I dont know…But when first round draft picks fail and dont see a second contract something is wrong. Lower the mound. Do something. The game has swayed too for 100 mph pitching and spin. No one wants to watch 1-0 in 10 innings with gift hunters and awful hitting.

  100. Mark A Verticchio

    How long can you play Steer and Suarez?

    • Jason T.

      Steer 104 ops+
      McLain 80 ops+

      Way more concerned by McLain.

      • Mark Moore

        Steer’s very deep slump makes us ignore his OPS+ number. You have to believe he’ll break out of it, but it is painful to watch.

      • Jason T.

        No doubt Steer is slumping. No denying that. I have way more faith he’ll get back on track.
        McLain should be in AAA. He’s lost at the plate. He’s been that way since the start of 2025. Time to pull the plug.

  101. Jeremiah

    I didn’t realize Woodruff had pitched a perfect game through 6 innings. And I think it’s his first game back in months. Seems both teams are a bit asleep tonight. Sometimes you wonder, Monday night in June, maybe it’s like how we can all be at a normal job, there are days maybe you’re not not doing your job, but slacking a bit, a little lackadaisical, going through the motions, etc. Maybe MLB players are like that some nights. Or maybe it’s just great great pitching.

    • Mark Moore

      Yep and yep. Quite an outing for him after his layoff.

    • Noyes

      Woodruff’s fastball command was nuts. Dot after dot after dot.

  102. Mark A Verticchio

    In the Reds case I think it is just poor hitting, the Brewers are most likely having a bad night.

    • Jeremiah

      I’m a little afraid of that too. But hey, it’s tied and the Reds have a chance to win, so that’s the good thing!

  103. Goldenbear

    Tied with the Brewers after 8. What could possibly go wrong?

    • Mark A Verticchio

      I’ll bite, recent history says a lot.

  104. Mark Moore

    Have I said that I really like Dunn out there in CF?

  105. Jeremiah

    Steer is streaky, but 20 strikeouts in his last 49 at bats. I wonder what his approach is recently. It almost seems Steer only hits mistake pitches right down the middle at times.

  106. Roger Garrett

    Dunn also has not struck out and saw 15 pitches in 3 at bats.Just puts the ball in play.Rest of team may want to try that like right now and lets win this game and move on.

  107. Andrew Brewer

    Whew ! I thought Burke was going to lose him!

  108. Chris

    Strikeout! Reds going toe to toe with the Brewers. Just got to push across a run.

  109. Mark Moore

    Weird free pizza night for the 1,000 in attendance.

    • Mark A Verticchio

      Funny, but true. This team just doesn’t excite fans.

  110. Mark A Verticchio

    I agree Steer is better than a lot of hitters but not lately, he has been awful.

  111. Chris

    Strikeout! Reds going toe to toe with the Brewers! Push across one rin now and we win!

  112. Jason T.

    A single run will win it. Gotta beat divisional opponents. 2-13 is atrocious.

  113. Chris

    Stephenson hit it hard. no pinch hitter for Mclain?!

    • Mark Moore

      Can’t afford to lose his glove tonight.

  114. Mark A Verticchio

    Well in extra innings the Reds will get a runner on base.

  115. Mark Moore

    I’m too tired for extra innings tonight.

  116. Jason T.

    McLain. 0-3. 3 strikeouts. Yikes. Bad!

    • JB

      I don’t expect him to hit when he’s up. It’s more of a surprise when he does hit. At least with Arroyo he brings more hope.

      • Jason T.

        Amen JB. Arroyo looks much better at the plate. He’s more comfortable and it shows.

  117. Chris

    Com’on Dunn get on base anything will do.

  118. Andrew Brewer

    That was no strike one to Dunn ! But it doesn’t matter, we’re onto extras …

    • Andrew Brewer

      I haven’t seen a 0-0 tie thru 9 this year.

  119. JB

    How many challenges have they called on this guy? Not to mention the ones he has missed that the Brewers should have called

  120. Chris

    Here we go. Extras. And Milwaukee gets a runner on 2nd as well.

  121. Lex

    What do we feel yall? Wheres the confidence level?

    • Andrew Brewer

      60/40 in favor of the other guys …

  122. RedsGettingBetter

    It seems tonight the Reds won’t hit anything just when they have had the best performance by the pitching …it’s frustrating

  123. Jason T.

    Stephenson and Dunn at least made solid contact.
    Glove or no glove, you can’t justify McLain and hit strikeouts in a lineup that is already offensively challenged

  124. Roger Garrett

    Now that is funny but it could be the winner.Lets hope so.No mood to hear well we battled and competed etc etc.Need to hear REDS WIN REDS WIN

    • Andrew Brewer

      Wild pitch brings in another one … One run down, OK, but 2 runs ?

  125. Jason T.

    Here we go…
    I feel 2-14 in division incoming.

  126. Chris

    I hope the red’s hitters are watching how it’s done for the bottom of the inning.

  127. JB

    The positive thing here is Dunn starts out on 2nd. The negative is they won’t bunt him over.

    • Chris

      Reds will be swinging for the fences.

  128. Lex

    Classic reds Affair. Thanks for making me believe ????

  129. Mark Moore

    That’s likely it for the night. Tony didn’t have it and we pay the price.

  130. Mark A Verticchio

    Ball game, nice job Santillan. 2 and 14 = awful.

    Great timing for first wild pitch Tony …. Just great … and looking like bullpen giving another gift win

  132. RedsGettingBetter

    And the Reds is finding the way to lose this game …this wild pitch is a gut punch…the walk haunted …

  133. Don A

    Not surprised. Not sure why the did not use Petty!

  134. RedAlert

    This guy stunk when he pitched for the Reds

  135. JB

    Lol Brewers using Kuhnel against them after Reds kicked him to the curb.

  136. Andrew Brewer

    Myers off the bench … really impressed !

  137. RedAlert

    Cant put Tony in to pitch in a tie game in
    extras … just can’t do it …..he’s been way more bad than good this year

  138. Goldenbear

    Does anyone think there was one iota of doubt in the Brewers dugout at any time tonight?

    • JB

      Nope and that’s why they put Kuhnel in.

  139. Gpod

    10 innings of inept offensive baseball by the reds….offensive to watch too

    • Andrew Brewer

      That the Brewer Pen was lights out … but we had many good four seamers from the Brewer starter to hit, and just didn’t. Really tough way to start the series against them. 2 hits thru 10, and 14 K’s.

  140. Jason T.

    Unfortunately Brewers own the Reds.

  141. Chris

    This one hurts. We hung with em for nine innings. Get em tomorrow.

  142. Jon

    Why is Benson on this team again? If Tito won’t even pinch hit him for Steer (or Myers)…

    • Red Thunder

      Yes, Benson should’ve hit for Myers. For some reason Tito didn’t!

      • Melvin

        Could mean that the days of Benson as a Red are finally over. We’ll see.

  143. RedAlert

    Draft some potential hitters in upcoming draft !!!! This offense is just minor league
    level

    Nothing changes until
    There are changes made in front office … just like Groundhog Day …

    • Oldtimer

      It took Joey Votto six years to make it from Reds draft pick in 2002 to Reds starter in 2008. I doubt many hitters the Reds draft will be better than Votto was.

      • RedAlert

        True , but they sure can’t be any worse than we are seeing now ! They are scraping bottom of barrel …Have neglected
        offensive needs in draft year after year
        after year and it’s finally caught up to them …

      • Doug Gray

        Neglected? Here’s their 1st round picks for the last 10 years:
        2016: Nick Senzel, Taylor Trammell
        2017: Hunter Greene
        2018: Jonathan India
        2019: Nick Lodolo
        2020: Austin Hendrick
        2021: Matt McLain, Jay Allen II, Mat Nelson
        2022: Cam Collier, Sal Stewart
        2023: Rhett Lowder, Ty Floyd
        2024: Chase Burns
        2025: Steele Hall

        10 years, 15 1st round picks. 10 of those picks have been hitters.

        They certainly haven’t neglected hitters. You can argue they didn’t pick the right guys but they certainly spent a lot of their last decade drafting position players instead of pitchers.

      • RedAlert

        Sal Stewart and Steele yet to be determined , but the others appear to just be subpar picks that never really materialized at MLB level …. Definitely appear to have drafted the wrong ones Doug , I will agree completely with that …. Goes right back to scouting department in my opinion…

  144. Mark A Verticchio

    Back to 3 under 37 and 40. The first game in the 10 games that will make or break the season is a horrible 2 to 1 loss. We all just keep hoping and these clowns keep letting us down time after time.

  145. Lex

    Apparently there’s no cursing allowed on this forum so I’ll say only this: “screw this team”

    • Mark A Verticchio

      We are all with you Lex, it’s just getting old.

    • Jon

      And the president of baseball operations and the GM…

    • Mark A Verticchio

      I am with you Lex, this team is a joke.

  146. Kevin H

    What a great intense baseball game. Heart break loss, and now 2-15 vs nl central, however they are pitching better and battled this evening.

    On to tomorrow

  147. RedsGettingBetter

    This game is on the offense …just 2 hits in 10 innings , 14 Ks , bad at-bats, bad approach…they gave a gift to the Brewers tonight… 2-14 against the division rivals…atrocious

  148. JB

    Misiorowski was suppose to pitch Wednesday and they pushed him to Friday to face the Cubs. The Reds are not a threat to them and they know it.

    • Jason T.

      2-14. We’re a threat to no one in our division.
      Pathetic.

  149. Jedi Joey

    On October 6th, 1995 at 11:44 PM EDT, Jeff Brantley induced a fly ball by Mike Piazza to Reds centerfielder Darren Lewis to complete a sweep of the Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League Division Series.

    There have been 11,217 days between October 6, 1995, and today, June 22, 2026.

  150. Gpod

    Besides the horrible offense…you lost the game because of a walk & a wild pitch….just handed them the game on a silver platter

  151. RedAlert

    Nice job Brady Singer … can’t ask for anything more that the effort he gave tonight … worst bat to ball skills I’ve ever seen on this team

    • Dennis Westrick

      14 SOs are just inexcusable!

      • Kevin H

        Brewers struck out 11 times. A team that doesn’t strike out much.

      • Gpod

        How many times do you look at the box score at the end of the game & see the reds have struck out double figures…it’s constant
