  1. Ugh Braun is not helping this series. That was big. Now we're forced to burn Williams.
  2. I can't understand how a guy who just comes back with one 85 after another just gets it done, but he does. Amazing.
  3. Given that our season hangs in the balance, I really don't think anyone was dismayed about that.
  4. Don't feel like we've really gotten hit by the injury bug more than anyone else. It's just been guys falling way short of expectations.
  5. Obviously you don't write Uriaa off at this point in his career, but it sucks that they obviously believe he isn't good enough to contribute right now in an already bad lineup. I did not ever expect Jedd Gyorko to be our best offseason move.
  6. Is it sad that I thought he'd be higher? I assumed most of our guys were replacement level or lower.
  7. Even the Reds? The Reds suck. They really do. They got hot a week ago. They'll probably drop at least two this weekend to the Twins. That team is not very good. I hate to think what that says for us as I think the Reds have pretty clearly a more talented roster than we do. Sonny Gray is their #3 as they have two Cy Young caliber starting pitchers in front of him. Similar to us, a lot of their position players are going through down years, but at their best they have some pretty good ones. Yelich is better than any of them, but that isn't doing us much good right now. I'd say our pen is definitely superior but that's about as far as it goes.
  8. Burnes was absolutely rock solid in the playoffs in 2018. To insinuate that somehow he can't handle pressure to me just doesn't make any sense. It's not like we weren't in a playoff race 5 days ago and the pressure is just that much greater now. He did not have his best stuff tonight, it happens. We have gotten spoiled by him being nearly perfect every outing, the reality is that sometimes he will not be. It's not like he got tagged for 7 runs. Unfortunately the offense was not there to pick him up tonight.
  9. Reality is setting in a bit for me. We just aren't going to make it. And maybe it's for the best. Burnes and Williams were the best things to come out of this year, and that's going to be of big benefit for the future.
  10. Of course it would be Dubon.
  11. Yes! We need to go get that hitting coach we had last year when Hiura was great! Devil's advocate -- most of Hiura's instruction last year likely came from Missions hitting coach Al LaBeouf, who has been in that position for quite a few years now. Don't know what if anything that Haines changed with him when he came up, but not likely anything. Something went wrong between the end of last season and this season for sure. I don't know if Haines is at fault but it's incredibly frustrating seeing a hitter like Hiura continue to struggle this badly with no end in sight. You'd have to think that whatever is going on with him is correctable. He's far too talented of a hitter to be this bad for this long.
  12. Yelich is 6 strikeouts behind Hiura and is hitting 210. And we just backed up the truck to pay him for the next 10 years. That is pretty damn depressing.
  13. We had 3 guys up with a big scoring opportunity to prevent Bauer from getting to celebrate at all. If Bauer wants to showboat, fine by me. Our hitters deserve to see it.
  14. Can't fire the whole offense. So let's just start with Andy Haines. I don't know if he's part of the problem, but I know his replacement can't get worse results.
  15. He's got 300 total career innings suggesting he's a LOOGY and 17 this year suggesting he isn't. I'll put a lot more weight on the 300.
  16. I think the plan was get Votto out. Sort of pitch around Suarez and/or see if he gets himself out and then get Moustakas. Plan obviously changed with no ability to have a backup plan when Votto reached. That's why I don't really want Claudio on the team. He's way too specialized where everything has to go perfectly for him to be usable. He's absolutely useless with the 3 batter rule. Maybe we should teach him to wince and grab his shoulder and motion for the trainers when he loses his man.
