Reds June 2023 thread

[CJD]

In his last 5 starts, Luke Weaver has given up 23 ER, 35 H, 5 HR, 10 BB, 16 K over 22.1 innings. That's an ERA of 9.27 and a WHIP of 2.01.

In those 5 games, the Reds are 5-0, averaging 7.8 runs per game (39 runs total).

The Reds have not lost a game in which Luke Weaver started since May 25th. And, in an ironic and cruel twist of fate, that game was BY FAR Weaver's best game as a Red:
6.1 IP, 3 H, 0 ER, 1 BB, 6 K on only 86 pitches against the Cardinals.
We lost 2-1.

It seems like one of two things will happen tonight.
1. Weaver pitches like shit, and we win.
2. Weaver pitches really well, and we lose.

Hopefully, he breaks this trend and he pitches well AND we win :) (and hopefully he doesn't break the trend and pitch poorly and we lose).
