How did Hiura not get an out on that?
-
Guerra has absolutely stunk this last month. I hope he can put up a zero, but I have little faith in him.
-
Really...? That was a shaky strike 3 call. He should have walked. No, that was a plenty good pitch. Looked good in real time and Gameday had it easily in the zone. It was a deserved strikeout for both him and Lorenzen.
-
Not the signature moment from Hiura I was hoping for.

Angels pitcher Tyler Skaggs passes away

We don't know what happened. What has been reported is that there's no foul play suspected and it wasn't suicide. That's all that's been reported as far as I know. -
I don't know what in the world you even have Claudio warming up for if you're not going to use him against Votto. 2 outs, a 1 run game. Claudio literally does one thing well and you don't even use him for it. Just a bad decision by Counsell.
-
Our non-Hader pen options suck.
-
Rock: "(Claudio) won't face Suarez. Well, he might face Suarez. He's pretty effective against righties."
-
That pitch to Dietrich was right down the middle. Almost hit him.
-
You don't see a .224 hitter with a .921 OPS at midseason very often.
-
Nobody really, just hope we get lucky. Albers is probably the best of the underwhelming late inning non-Hader options.
-
Aguilar has to be hanging onto a roster spot by a thread. It's just tough to keep a non productive offensive player with no defensive value on the roster this long. I wish they'd find a way to phantom IL him, but he's pretty clearly 100% healthy or they would have done it by now.
-
Is the camera guy drunk this series? Showing the ball fly relative to the sky isn't something normally done. We can't tell what's a routine fly and what is a bomb.
-
Cain has been tough to watch at the plate this year, but he still makes CF look so easy.
-
Why anyone would want to see Tyrone Taylor up is beyond me. He's putting up a .670 OPS in AAA in a league where David Freitas is hitting. 370. He's not a legitimate MLB option even off the bench and I'm amazed frankly that he's still even on the 40.
-
I also don't disagree that they could use another back end arm. But the narrative that they are overusing or misusing Hader is obviously false. They were 48-7 last year in games he pitched and 27-4 so far this year. I'll never question Counsell on his bullpen management. I mean, that stat is pretty misleading. Hader generally never pitches without a lead, so that number is pretty expected. But I do agree Counsell is generally a good pen manager.
-
There are 96 pitchers with more relief appearances than Hader so far. There are 18 pitchers with more innings in relief to this point. Only three of his 31 appearances have come on consecutive days. He threw a total of 63 pitches over the nine days prior to today. But none of those fit the narrative that this team is bad and continuously makes poor decisions I don't disagree that they need another high leverage pen arm. Maybe it will end up being Burnes. Maybe Peralta. Maybe Houser. Maybe Will Smith, maybe Ken Giles, maybe Shane Greene. But the guys you have right now you're still kind of biting your nails if it isn't Hader. Albers has done a good job lately, but I still don't really trust him as that guy.
-
I like that they played matchups here late and didn't just pigeonhole Hader into the 9th. The part of it that could backfire though, you get in trouble, you don't have Hader in your back pocket to help get you out of it.
-
You just had to... I'm not crediting anyone specifically here, just in general their pitching, to be that good in this ballpark, how? It seems like Coors Field.
-
It was basically a popup to left field. Dropped in the first row.
-
I mean if you consider the ballpark they play in, it makes the Reds' pitching all the more impressive this year. To lead the NL in fewest runs allowed.
-
So it turns out this ballpark can work in both teams favors.
-
I have no idea what this organization sees in Tyler Saladino to even be on the 25, much less starting 3 out of 4 games at SS since his callup.
-
Are we going to do this every single time the Reds have a bad inning for the entire season? I mean I know it's tongue in cheek....but the Reds have allowed the least runs of any team in the league. And they play in a bandbox. Obviously no one thinks they are never going to have a bad pitching game just because they have DJ.
