2.1 innings in and we've hit 2 double plays and had a caught stealing.
Getting tons of baserunners and then just removing them.
Also on top of the 13 or whatever pickoffs the Reds have had against them this year, they also have guys like....
Jake Fraley (11 successes, 5 caught stealing)
Will Benson (9 successes, 6 caught stealing)
Jaimer Candelario (3 successes, 3 caught stealing)
Nick Martini (0 successes, 2 caught stealing)
....who are providing negative value as base stealers. You need at least a 3:1 (75%) success at stealing bases to be adding value rather than losing it. Can't keep just giving up base runners and outs. You can be aggressive while still being smart.
EDIT: 3rd double play in 3 innings.
