This is a makeup game from June 18th. Don't asked my why they are making it up but they are. Just to rub it in Price puts Schumaker in the leadoff spot. This is also the free game of the day on MLBTV. Yes it is that bad.

I really hope Skip gets traded before the deadline, and is being showcased. Otherwise, I can see no logic in giving him this many starts.

that is my hope but doubt much if any interest in him- too bad Adam Duvall is blowing his chance to play by not hitting at Louisville. Had hoped he'd get a chance to play in Cincy .

If I were managing this team, I would play Schumaker every day for awhile except against lefties.

When you've lost 9 in a row, you need veterans who won't get too down, who have seen this before, even if their skills are diminished.

Price obviously feels that he can live without Ryan Lamarre tonight, and that Schumaker's leadership may help them win a game or two. The club is probably demoralized from all this losing, and certain players will help them try to restore an edge and a winning attitude.

Also bums me out to remember that was the series where Moscot got injured. I think he has a much better future as a starter than Holmberg or Sampson and I wish we got to see him more in the rookie rotation.

Sampson and Holmberg are fodder, though I think Sampson could potentially be a solid reliever. I think you're undervaluing Disco, he's BOR now and is likely to get better. Jury is out on Lamb, but I like the early returns.

Agree on Lamb and Sampson. I don't see Disco as much more than Leake. Not bad, but not great. I have zero expectation for Lorenzen. They need to get Stephenson, Finnegan, Travieso etc up here next year and fast track Garrett. There's no reason at this point for these guys to waste their arms in the minor leagues.

I can think of at least ONE reason. To develop them properly instead of rushing them to a level that they're simply not ready for. Ask Homer how that plan worked for him.

Why can Cardinal pitchers be in MLB and be effective, at least as bullpen options in less than 2 years, while our guys languish in the minors for 5?

Because all players are different. It's not like all of the Cards pitchers only go 2 years. Some do. Leake didn't spend any before pitching in the majors. It's all about when a particular pitcher is READY for the show.

Right, they are different. So you can't really use Homer and his struggles early on as a precautionary tale. Get them up here. Let them learn and develop on the job. Letting them rot in the minors just gets them closer to an injury without them ever helping the big club.

Because confidence is a real thing. Because being mentally ready is a real thing. I have zero problems with the Reds bringing a pitcher up quickly and young...IF he's ready for it, both physically and mentally. Letting them learn on the job at the major league level is all fine and good for a team that's out of it...but if all that happens is the kid gets tattooed, you've destroyed his confidence and probably set back his development rather than enhancing it.

Honestly..."minor league development" is overrated, especially when your big club stinks. The best way for young talent to learn, is to face the best, whether it be on the mound or at the plate. AA or higher whom the front office sees as being part of the future...get them up here. Especially pitchers.

I don't buy that. How much confidence are these guys getting by getting outs in AA and AAA? Get them up here. They'll be better off for it in the long run, whether they're "ready" now or not.

And I think you only cripple your "future" by pushing kids who aren't ready for the level. If developed properly you could get the most out of a kid. Lorenzen's a good example too IMO. For a kid who's just switched to pitching fairly recently, rushing him really shocked me. Develop him properly and you could have something special. Killing his confidence by rushing him will only lead him to not trusting his stuff and nibbling at the major league level. But hey, you could be right. Travieso could be brought up right now and could dominate for the next decade. But the odds are slim indeed.

Most guys struggle at first. It in no way means that their confidence will be shaken or lost. If they're that fragile? Then maybe they weren't what the team needed to begin with. Why not let these guys get these inevitable struggles out of the way now while the big club stinks anyway? I think they'll be better off for it later.

It's not like they are bringing them up from A ball or straight from the draft. It's the coaches' job to keep their confidence up. Superstar pitchers for years have got their asses kicked when they first came up. Maybe it's the mentally strong ones who become great and maybe getting battered around some makes them mentally strong.

But why pitch them in A ball? Aren't you just wasting their arms there too? What's the cutoff point when enough development is enough? Personally, I'd trust the coaches who see these kids on a day-in/day-out basis. IMO it's the rare pitcher who can come up with very little development time and find any kind of sustained success.

Lesser leveraged effort though, coddling means don't let them struggle, let them grow and find their whole game. 140 ip in MLB is a bigger thing than ML. Sure we'll see some shine, others will turn into Bruce Berenyi

Why is it that the Reds, with such a storied history, don't have one of the classic uniforms like the Tigers and Dodgers?

Tigers have had the old D forever on their home uniform, except one year 1959. Which also was the one year that Bill DeWitt was the GM, Bill also gave the Reds that odd 1965 uniform. Short answer to your question is too many owners with opinions

I understand the point that you and Charles are making, I just think with the big club in the state it's in, it and the young pitchers themselves would be best served with a trial by fire.

I'd agree with your argument 100% if you were talking about hitters. Pitcher development is just so much more involved IMO. Learning a compact delivery, being able to repeat that delivery consistently, learning new pitches, learning how to control those pitches, etc, etc, etc. Pitchers aren't really pushing themselves by facing better hitters because all they're really trying to do is to hit their spots with the movement that they want. The hitters they face are inconsequential as to whether the pitcher is throwing well.

Hitters actually benefit much more by seeing better pitchers. The learn to identify sharper breaking balls, adapt to higher velocities, more varied pitch selections, etc.

IMO, WoY's right...Princeton's adage will ALWAYS be the right way to look at things. "Coddle thy pitchers, challenge thy hitters" Words to live by IMO.

It's a good point. Conventional wisdom says they should develop 2-3 good pitches they can throw for strikes before they can pitch in the Show. Sometimes that takes only 2-3 years but most of them it takes at least a few more years. I know you're being rhetorical but what if you drafted a guy like Kerry Wood or Steven Strasburg who could have probably got MLB hitters out right away and put him in the rotation immediately?

The NBA and NFL don't let their future superstars play in the sticks. They bring them up right away. Why do the elite amateur baseball talent have to play in the minors for 2-3 years?

I agree. Like I said, I have no problem with a kid coming up with very little development and very young....IF he's ready for it. Every kid is different. I had zero problem with Leake coming straight into the majors.

They can refine their game, their pitches, their delivery etc just as easily at the MLB level though. I don't see the downside of doing this when the MLB team is terrible.

Well in the Reds division they'll be facing the three best teams in the NL so there is the talent factor.

Bigger stage, higher stakes, mistakes get punished to a larger extent...everything is escalated. Losing team or not.

Last time #Reds scored 10 runs in an inning was August 19, 2005, the 4th inning vs Arizona.

2 shutout innings from LeCure and Chapman to close it down.

Can't trust Chapman to close tonight. He hasn't pitched in a week and the last time he went several days without pitching he was rusty and blew the save. You guys told me that. ;)

Sorry just clippers and scissors. The clippers are losing a bit of their umph so it is like they are pulling the hair out at times. Time to invest in a new pair. First pair lasted 15 years. Best $10 I ever spent.

Here is a pic of how it turned out:

Definitely. They'll take lumps. I just think it can do nothing but accelerate the process while at the same time not wasting their arms in the minor leagues.

For a guy who bats once every 8 seasons, Burke sure has a lot of mannerisms at the bat.

@AceballStats: #Tigers Miguel Cabrera currently has a .472 OBP.

Ty Cobb batted at least .400 in 1911, 1912, & 1922. Never doing so with an OBP that high.

Ok folks....right before Suarez mashed that HR I put my phone on the charger. Guess me being on here was the jinx that needed cut.

So much for solo HR being rally killers.

A home run is a one-man rally. Gets himself on, gets himself over, gets himself in.

Lol....looked back on that and got some nightmarish names.

Losing pitcher for Dbacks...Russ Ortiz and top hitter was Royce Clayton with 3 hits.

To start that 10 run inning Adam Dunn selfishly walked and later in inning HBP. Austin Kearns and Felipe Lopez Homered that inning.

Brandon Claussen was the winning pitcher and Wily Mo Pena hit a 7,000 ft HR (pre-Statcast)
