RE: Reds August 2023 thread - Nicomo Cosca - 08-08-2023 Well that was exciting. :D RE: Reds August 2023 thread - cinci4life - 08-08-2023 Should have given hm the ITP homer for the hell of it. RE: Reds August 2023 thread - cinci4life - 08-08-2023 Nice Sims. 1 damn pitch to give up the lead. RE: Reds August 2023 thread - Goalpost - 08-08-2023 Hit the number 9 hitter and you get what you ask for RE: Reds August 2023 thread - Nicomo Cosca - 08-08-2023 Horrible RE: Reds August 2023 thread - cinci4life - 08-09-2023 Cubs won but Brewers just lost.

I knew it was coming when I saw that they had a lefty going today in last night's post-game show . . . BTW, I'm really digging MLB.TV adding in the pre-game and post-game shows. Reds Live has one of the best staffs in all of baseball. Yup Like you said Bell needs to have a lineup manager. DLC desperately needs to be taken out of leadoff! They mentioned yesterday how he has the highest SO rate among all players since he's been playing. Friedl needs to be leadoff. Oh you could just go on and on. ![]() RE: Reds August 2023 thread - bengalfan74 - 08-09-2023 Facing an old friend today, Johnny Cueto. Why is Benson not in the lineup for two games straight? We get to watch Senzel go 0 fer again. RE: Reds August 2023 thread - ochocincos - 08-09-2023 Feels like these young Reds hitters are starting to come back down to Earth, although it might just be a collective dry spell. No Reds hitter with a .300+ BA now on the season. EDLC down to just .259 BA on the season. In the past 5 games, here's the BA for each: EDLC - .158 (3/19) CES - .176 (3/17) Fraley - .250 (4/16) Friedl - .400 (6/15) Benson - .182 (2/11) McLain - .200 (4/20) Stephenson - .077 (1/13) Steer - .118 (2/17) Votto - .154 (2/13) RE: Reds August 2023 thread - kevin - 08-09-2023 Rain Delay.....Reds need to WIN today and WIN this series With Marlins in Cincinnati, and Stop The Losing. Reds need a home series win TODAY.

DLC and CES have got to learn to lay off stuff out of strike zone, for sure. The opposing pitchers don't even have to throw a single strike and get them out. It seems at times CES is learning. EDLC ??? RE: Reds August 2023 thread - ochocincos - 08-09-2023 (08-09-2023, 01:46 PM)bengalfan74 Wrote: DLC and CES have got to learn to lay off stuff out of strike zone, for sure. As frustrated as I was to not see the Reds make more moves at the trade deadline, maybe Bell and ownership thought there's no way the team is as good as their record indicates and adding another pitcher or two won't actually move the needle for this postseason. So let's see how these guys finish out their growth this year and (hopefully) have more of a plan to contend next year.

But it's hard, real hard. 1990 was a loonnggg time ago. RE: Reds August 2023 thread - TheLeonardLeap - 08-09-2023 Cueto chewing this lineup apart. Finesse guys who can hit edges with movement against young inexperienced aggressive free-swinging batters is not a great matchup. RE: Reds August 2023 thread - TheLeonardLeap - 08-09-2023 Nice! There we go, put some runs up. Got a little Strand power sighting, too. RE: Reds August 2023 thread - CJD - 08-09-2023 CES is seeing the ball well this series. He's 3 for 9 with 2 HR and a walk (and 3 Ks) so far against Miami. He has incredible power, so it's nice to see him get it going.

Hard to string together enough hits for a huge inning with them being the final PA in 3 of the 7 innings so far.

Senzel is only in because of injuries, he's a bench bat all the way, imo. I'm looking forward to Fraley coming back and I'm even excited for India to come back haha. Get these bench bats out of the daily lineup. RE: Reds August 2023 thread - CJD - 08-09-2023 De La Cruz has had 2 outs, but has been out on the basepaths in both cases. He tried to stretch his first into a double and failed, and he was picked off on his second. He started to steal on first movement, but the pitcher saw it coming and just threw over. This continues my not understanding what a balk is, because I thought once you made a movement towards the plate, you couldn't re-route to the basepaths, but maybe a balk is different, I don't even know anymore haha.

I wonder if he doesn't feel completely right still from the injury last year? I am looking forward to India coming back. Even at his worst he's a league average bat. I just hated that Bell stuck him at #3 and just left him there to fail for WAY too long. Kind of like what he's doing with DLC in the leadoff spot. Plus India should mean that Senzel can GTFO of the lineup. DLC is killing me today. You can't finally get on twice and give them outs both times. Gotta be smarter than that, and less selfish. You'd the leadoff hitter. Don't take PA with men on base away from the #2-#4 hitters. |
