6-3-18 Reds vs Padres 6:10 PM

[Ron Madden]

Nice play on the bunt by Castillo

[Big Klu]

There are only eight guys on the Reds who were on the team when Skip Schumaker was with the Reds, and four of them were rookies in Skip's last year.

It would be nice to see Billy run here.

Dang!!!

I think George thought Barnhart was out 3.

Maybe we should call that a J.R...as in a Smith. "I thought the game was over/tied."

[Tom Servo]

It rules that the Reds kept Duvall and Hamilton until the point where they value totally cratered.

Joey back over .300

Big Bob C. said he wants Billy to be a Red forever.

Just cannot for the life of me figure out why the reds are so committed to Adam Duvall

Because he can hit the ball a mile, chicks love the long ball. They don't care if he strikes out in the other 4 pa's in a game.

Duvall played in 6 games in 2016 in RF, with 5 starts and has only been in LF since except when he was in the infield. Looking at his defensive runs saved per 1200 innings the last 3 seasons:

2016 RF -55 runs
2016 LF +16 runs
2017 LF +8 runs
2018 LF +31 runs

In the last two seasons Winkler has played 51 games in RF, and and 19 in LF, and looking at his DRS/1200 innings ratings:

RF -33 runs
LF -25 runs

Schebler for his 4 yr career:

RF +3
CF 0
LF -7

Billy Hamilton for his exclusive CF 6 yr career is at +11 runs with this year by year:

2013 +27
2014 +14
2015 +10
2016 +19
2017 +9
2018 -3

All those numbers are meaningless (one exception Hamilton) because of sample sizes.

Fangraphs had an interesting article on Duvll in April based on early season. Still seems true.

Pitchers are throwing inside to him. His batted balls are predictable, lots of pulling, very little opposite field hitting. In this day of defensive positioning, his singles and doubles production has declined.

His walk rate is up substantially, but the combo of Ks and balls hit into the left side defense isn’t good.

Sigh. C'Mon Luis!

Pitchers are throwing inside to him. His batted balls are predictable, lots of pulling, very little opposite field hitting. In this day of defensive positioning, his singles and doubles production has dried up.

His walk rate is up substantially, but the combo of Ks and balls hit right into the left side defense isn’t good.

Interesting. I wonder what the tech/data advance will be for the hitters.
