RE: Reds June 2023 thread - CJD - 06-21-2023 11 straight and another sweep. This is pretty crazy. Enjoy the off day tomorrow and then we have a huge weekend series against the Braves. 1957 was the last time the Reds had won 11 straight. De La Cruz is just so special...he turns ground outs into singles, singles into doubles and fly outs into home runs on a regular basis. He hasn't even hit his stride yet and is still hitting .321/.387/.536/.923. Both of his doubles this series were singles for every other player in the major leagues, but his speed is just incredible. Once he gets that power swing going, he'll be unstoppable. RE: Reds June 2023 thread - bengalfan74 - 06-21-2023 11 in a row !! woot Despite a home plate umpire smoking some serious crack. I don't get super upset at called strikes that are like barely low or just outside, it happens. But how in the name of Zeus's ass do you call balls eye high on players strikes ????? I mean they weren't even kinda close, a friggin foot high. That dude needs some serious dressing down on calling balls and strikes.

That's Umpire firing material if I'm the MLB.

Have no idea how they do discipline or whatever? But in my mind balls that far out of strike zone called strikes need to be red flagged or whatever. And so many redflags in a season and you're done. RE: Reds June 2023 thread - Forever Spinning Vinyl - 06-21-2023 Diamondbacks 5-1 over the Brewers . . . Reds up by 1.5 games! FIVE games over .500! So for Eugenio Suarez and Jesse Winker the Reds got . . . Justin Dunn - battling arm injuries but has good stuff - he'd be great in the pen for long relief Brandon Williamson - bumped up due to injuries in the rotation - has been very solid in most stretches but still walking a bit too many Jake Fraley - see below and the "player to be named later" was Connor Phillips, so far, 2-2 3.23 ERA with 109 strikeouts in 64 innings at AA Chattanooga. Suarez 2022 - 150 games - .236 - 31 HR - 87 RBI - . . . a career high 196 strikeouts led the league 2023 - 71 games - .215 - 7 HR - 39 RBI - . . . 87 strikeouts Winker 2022 - 136 games - .219 - 14 HR - 53 RBI - . . . 103 strikeouts - traded in off-season to Milwaukee 2023 - 43 games - .200 - 1 HR - 16 RBI - . . . 38 strikeouts - picked up his 1st HR yesterday - very poor defender Fraley 2022 - 68 games - .259 - 12 HR - 28 RBI . . . played injured early, came back up later and has been playing on the same level up through today 2023 - 59 games - .270 - 9 HR - 44 RBI Fraley 90 total strikeouts in 127 games as a Red Suarez 283 total strikeouts in 221 games as a Mariner Winker 141 total strikeouts in 179 games since the trade yearly .OPS since the trade . . . GABP is a hitter friendly park Suarez - career .811 as a Red 2022 - .791 2023 - .641 Winker - career .888 as a Red 2022 - .688 2023 - .562 Fraley - career .656 as a Mariner 2022 - .812 2023 - .823 He was a throw in on the deal because the Reds needed a MLB ready outfielder to replace Winker. It would be like Cincinnati adding Stuart Fairchild in a trade, he gets injured and then he goes off. They got money off of their payroll with that trade, then had one terrible, terrible season and are now sitting pretty damn fortunate.

FIRST PLACE REDS stay in FIRST PLACE with SWEEP over Rockies in Cincinnati. A much needed day off, especially for the bullpen. Tough Atlanta comes in Friday for the weekend. Reds vs Braves should be a great hard fought series, should fill the stands.

Just as some said to keep AJ Green or Andy Dalton or that top pick WR that never panned out, I think his name Ross or something, or to keep Burfict. New Bengals dumped payroll on many in order to build a Super Bowl team. Reds must do the same. Reds have dumped much payroll. Next year they will no longer have to pay The Moose to play for Colorado. Go that one step further, and no more Votto. Just as it became time for Take A Seat Pete, it is time for Let Go Of Votto. He should retire end of this year and Reds have Joey Votto Day. If he goes to another team next year, then Reds have Joey Votto Day in a year to be named later. The Reds need to take what they pay Votto and apply it to keeping the other players on this 2023 team into the future. If he does manage to hit 400 and they win the WS he'll have a statue on Fountain Square ..LOL I'm almost pretty sure it ain't happening though, but it would be awesome ? RE: Reds June 2023 thread - grampahol - 06-22-2023 I wonder if the Reds sweep the Braves will the Reds get an honorable mention in the national media? Probably not. The big news in the NY Times is how bad the Cards have been.. Fine by me though. I kind of like em flying under the radar.. RE: Reds June 2023 thread - Luvnit2 - 06-22-2023 I don't get to watch many games down here in Florida. I just wanted to say my family is on cloud 9. They have a group of 21 going to Friday night games against the Braves. I applaud all of you for being loyal Reds fans in bad times. I have looking in on gamecast recently. it is good to see them win tight games. It is also fun to see (I have seen a few games live) the youthful excitement being generated by this team. Congrats to all Reds fans and I hope they can continue to play great baseball. I don't think anyone had the Reds in first place in the month of June. Fun times in Cincy sports right now. RE: Reds June 2023 thread - guyofthetiger - 06-23-2023 The Reds are hot right now. Hope it continues. Don't be a fair weather fan. RE: Reds June 2023 thread - bengalfan74 - 06-23-2023 I'd like to give a shout out to TJ Friedl. He has kinda become lost in all the DLC, McClain, Steer, Abbott, and even CES hype. But he's been one of the bigger catalysts of this team. I don't know much about his minor league story? But I do know he was basically considered a fringe player and many weren't even sure he was major league material. His minor league stats aren't awful, but they don't jump off the page at you either. Is this just a flash in the pan and he'll revert back to pretty average stats at some point? who knows? But I'm pulling for him to stick and finally make some hay.

RE: Reds June 2023 thread - bengalfan74 - 06-23-2023 Well, Weaver getting rocked...again RE: Reds June 2023 thread - cinci4life - 06-23-2023 Well the win steak was fun while it lasted. I know it's only the first but it would truly be a miracle if they came back.

They've got to get Weaver out of the starting rotation RE: Reds June 2023 thread - cinci4life - 06-23-2023 (06-23-2023, 08:28 PM)bengalfan74 Wrote: They've got to get Weaver out of the starting rotation Guess i should know better than to give up so soon. RE: Reds June 2023 thread - CJD - 06-23-2023 Luke Weaver gives up 5 ER in 3.1 IP and somehow will avoid the decision once again (posting this right after Votto's game tying homerun). That's unbelievable. RE: Reds June 2023 thread - TheLeonardLeap - 06-23-2023 RE: Reds June 2023 thread - cinci4life - 06-23-2023 Uh oh Elly needs a triple for the cycle. |
