REDS MAY GAMES THREAD

[kevin]

I had TV on, but also on phone with a friend, so TV sound off....But while hors of talking with this woman , it appears Reds had a Big Night. Did Winker jack 3 homers, it seemed like he did, I don't know. I know Naquin hit a 3 run homer early and if Bell benches him again for these other stiffs, Bell needs shot. I don't care what computer charts or graphics or slide rulers Moneyball uses, one old time rule should rise above all of it, and that is you do not bench somebody on a Hot Streak. Naquin early on was on a Hot Streak and Bell benched him to get Senzel in and later Akiyama, and you don't do that. You never bench a player on a Hot Streak. Naquin was leading MLB in Home Runs when Bell benched him, and Bell and Reds were Stupid. GLAD TO SEE NAQUIN GETTING HOT, for he should have never been benched when he was hot in April.

So Reds poured it on Brewers. Hoffman has a hard time throwing strikes, but he did give Reds some innings after all. He is painful to watch, I hate walks. Still, he slid by thanks to all the Reds runs.

Now for Gray and Castillo to step up.

I'm hoping Giants are just a good team that was too Hot, and Reds do better against the Brewers. Giants were the first series Reds lost in over 3 weeks or more. GO REDS, beat the Brewers.
