  1. Let's see what they do with the sticks this inning, and see if/where Garcia is due to bat if potentially needed in the bottom half. I think it is a totally different calculation with a high-K pitcher on the mound.
  2. Yeah, this is an interesting discussion. I agree with your reasoning, but I'm not sure the marginal matchup advantage is worth deviating from the defined roles. There's probably a hard-to-quantify trade-off there.
  3. Clutch ABs all around. I'll bet Reds fans are a little miffed at how late Bell was to have someone ready. I know Lorenzen is good, but you don't want him pitching to the top of the order there, especially with no outs and two men on.
  4. Well, other than getting thrown out on a bases-clearing double, that's about the best out a guy can make there.
  5. Or at least now or the 8th inning. or 9th inning. Fail that, tomorrow or the next day. Anytime, really, now included. I like this post.
  6. Surprised no lefty coming in... Nicely done. Now would be a good time for a patented Peterson BB.
  7. If we can at least win 1 we are sitting 6.5 up which is pretty comfortable. If we manage to get swept then they have more than cut our lead in half from 9.5 to 4.5 in a very short period of time which is absolutely reason for concern given their September schedule. Yeah, I'm just saying you're going to get reason for September concern in every baseball season save for the outliers. Obviously, a sweep would suck. But the it will FEEL worse than it will logically be. Look at this way: even after a sweep, the Brewers will have gained on the Reds since the AS break.
  8. It's amazing how quickly this lineup goes back to looking pretty punchless. Lose Esco and Adames (and Taylor even), and the pitching has to be very, very good. I'm not panicking about this series regardless of the result. I just think it's more likely this division gets closer than turns into a runaway. Even a comfy, 4-5 game win will come with plenty of dicey moments in September.
  9. It’s sort of interesting to see that impression, because this year’s team actually gives me more hope for late innings offense than in the past. Yeah, 2018 team scored a lot early. Seems like this one scores more late.
  10. Well, the Reds have had their late-inning lead struggles this year. Let's hope that shows up again tonight.
  11. I'd bet those ump scorecards would have the Reds plus at least half a run on balls/strikes. Brewers are losing by three. Haven't hit since the first, and Garcia big hit landed a few feet short. That's the difference right now.
  12. Not the ideal response. What a great start that just evaporated real fast. Good thing there's more than half the game left. I think you try to get Burnes through one more, but that's just me.
  13. Lifeless all around since Adames left. It's nice to have a divisional cushion, but innings like this are just hard to watch.
  14. Sophia just said precautionary and discomfort, so sounds encouraging I remember Wily getting a visit from the training staff on a double a few weeks ag, I think? And then left a game where the Crew was up big in Pittsburgh, maybe? Just seems like he's got something he's playing through, and I'm guessing it's one of those littlle risk of long-term damage things. Just try to manage with rest.
  15. Hoping this is precautionary. Didn't seem like anything big happened there, so best to take it slow.
