Reds July 2025 Thread

Gotta send this kid back to the minors before his development gets ruined.

He only has 2 pitches and can't even reliably throw them for strikes. Guys chase outside, but if they don't it's a walkfest.

Got to be here until Greene/Spiers come back. Don't have much of a choice.

At the beginning of the year i wouldnt have guessed this, but....the Reds are a middle of the pack stolen base team ranking 14th in steals in MLB.

Santillan throws too many sliders out of the zone because he's afraid of getting hit.

Abbott doesn't have this problem because he expects to get hit, that's because one breaking pitch is a few MPH different than the last one. That's the difference between a pitcher and a thrower. Santillan is still in that "I'll just blow it by you" mentality when he doesn't really have 'put away' stuff. He should be going at 90-95% effort most of the time then crank it up when you need it.

Good. I felt that they were running themselves out of too many innings last year.

I'd like to see more hit and run plays but this lineup isn't very reliable.

Great at bat from Espinal . . . bunt for a base hit by Friedl?

3 IBB in one game for EDLC is absolutely slapping Hays in the face.

....and Hays just takes it and Golden Sombreros.

Saw that after the 3rd IBB to EDLC. Pretty much felt the same way about it at that point.

0-11 with runners in scoring position, I hate to say it but it's about time to start looking on to next season. This team just doesn't have "it".
