Not many Reds fans at the stadium, but they sure still manage to make idiots out of themselves with all the whooping.
-
Are modern MLB umpires aware that it is actually a rule that you do have to try to get out of the way of a pitch?
-
I totally forgot Scooter Gennett is out for months. That alone should cut our runs allowed in half against the Reds.
-
Great Houdini by Davies.
-
I'm not at all impressed with Grandal so far. I realize it's a super early hot take, and it's hard to explain, but when you watched Pina and Kratz, they looked like catchers. Grandal just looks like a dude trying to catch.
-
Again with called 3rd strikes with 2 runners in scoring position. You've got a situation in which Arcia and the pitcher are following you, there's one out, and just a single blows the game open to 5-0. Use your head Yasmani. Don't go down looking on a close pitch in that situation. Come on.
-
Thank goodness we got rid of Derek Johnson when we did.
-
There it is.
-
Why do umpires expand their strike zone when the count is 3-0 and shrink it on 0-2 counts? The actual strike zone does not change based on a count. That 3-0 pitch to Shaw was NOT a strike.
-
Typically deals signed after the start of the season are prorated for whatever portion of the season is left anyway, based on an original amount. But yeah you'd lose some additional value in time he needs to get ready.
-
I mean small sample obviously but Burnes and Woodruff were really good prospects with really good MLB results last year and both have really good stuff. It's not going to be a rocky free road of course and they're probably not going to be Jacob DeGrom this year but I don't see any reason they can't be good in 2019. Peralta I am less sure of. He's deceptive, although not overpowering, but he really doesn't have a 3rd pitch and his command disappears at times. We'll see. But many of us certainly overreacted to Day 2 for the pen, myself included. It just felt like Barnes and Williams will struggle forever, in reality they're probably both going to be serviceable middle relievers, which is something.
-
I don't know what to say. Time after time I see people use "compliment" on this board when they really mean "complement", someone finally has a chance to use "compliment" correctly and this happens.
-
Agree with the fact that if I was going to criticize Aguilar that last at bat versus Miller wouldn’t be it. He just missed a couple of pitches he was on. I would have totally agreed with that up until that last swing.
-
Yasmani needs to hit. We had defense covered already.
-
You can sneeze and miss an Hernan Perez AB.
-
Certainly hasn't been promising so far. And short of moving Braun there again, there is really nothing waiting in the wings. Shaw's bat should play at least average if not a bit above average at 1B, and that's his natural position. Not a bad option if Hiira comes up and Moose also goes back to his natural position.
-
Maybe this is how we open up a hole for Huira later in the year? Shaw ***** to 1B, Moose to 3B, and Huira to 2B. Funny that's exactly what I just posted in my edit! I do agree.
-
1st base could be our new black hole this year. Hopefully it doesn't get to this point, but I don't think Shaw at 1st, Hiura at 2nd, Moose at 3rd late in the year is out of the question as a regular lineup. That's a good defensive lineup too.
-
Sometimes better to be lucky than good. Come on Aguilar!
-
What we saw was a young, inconsistent starter. Very similar to what Peralta showed last year. And people are pretty much all over the map on Peralta. But you're right ... we're going to have to live through these guys' growing pains. They'll be better if the team sticks with them. I don't know if the discussion is so much about sticking with them as it is about which role they can be most beneficial to the team in. Long-term, you may be right. Short-term, as in 2019....its going to be really tough to go with those 3 in the rotation, live through their growing pains, not have the backup in the bullpen anymore, and expect to improve on last year's team. Just not sure that is likely.
-
I like Thames, he just seems like a really great likeable dude. But damn is he ever brutal to watch these days. It's like the guy who just exploded back in April '17 and turned heads throughout MLB never even existed.
-
Certainly I would take Kershaw over Chapman, but Kershaw is a generational pitcher and the odds that we get even just one Kershaw out of any of our young pitchers is pretty minuscule. I think it would be more accurate to ask if you'd rather have 80-85 innings situational innings of a 2.00-2.25 ERA pitcher or 175 rigid innings of a 3.50-3.75 ERA pitcher.
-
But when do you give guys like our trio a chance at being a starting pitcher? It’s not like they aren’t talented enough to be starters. I just don’t think you can keep them relieving for multiple seasons. Maybe you don't. Maybe you make dominant relievers out of all of them like they did with Josh Hader, shorten all your games to 5 innings and fill your rotation with the Chase Anderson, Gio Gonzalez, and Zach Davies types and live with the 5 IP and 2-3 run outings. I don't know if that's the answer or really what the answer is. I'm more just thinking out loud, or at least thinking in print. But I will say that Hader probably has a higher starter upside than any of them and that decision has certainly worked out pretty well for us.
