Liriano is on the mound for Pittsburgh which would account for Bruce moving down the lineup and the Reds going with more RH of a lineup.


Looks like another awful night of weather for baseball. cold and showery.

Quite the unorthodox but effective 1-2 punch so far for the Reds. I hope they keep it up. And when Votto starts playing like Votto, that's a deadly 1-3.

Haha, I don't know about considering anything offensively with Cozart involved "deadly" is true, but yeah, Suarez looks like a legit major league bat to me.

Haha, I don't know about considering anything offensively with Cozart involved "deadly" is true, but yeah, Suarez looks like a legit major league bat to me.I'd argue it's deadly if he continues to hit like the way he started last year and has this year so far. Cozart just needs to get on base for Suarez and Votto - he doesn't need to hit the deep ball.

If we win this series we are going to the playoffs.

Book it. I'm in the know.

I feel like we have potentially 6 strong bats this year: Votto, Bruce, Mesoraco, Suarez, BP and Schebler. If Cozart, Duvall, Holt, Barnhart, De Jesus and (god forbid) Hamilton can find a way to positively contribute this team will really pack a punch (not touching on potential call ups like Ervin, Winker, Peraza, etc.)

Maybe the first three games has me overly optimistic, but I think we can keep this momentum going! Let's go Reds!

04-08-2016, 03:02 PM
I'm more worried about the pitching than the offense. There's a lot of former all-stars in our lineup that can catch fire at any time. Schebler and Duvall's problems are mostly defensive.

The pitching is just too young, unproven, and currently injured. A world of talent there but there's a lot that has to work out.

Cannon
04-08-2016, 04:27 PM
Well by mid-May we should have this as our top 3 starters:

Bailey, Raisel and Disco

If Disco starts performing anywhere near what the end of last season suggests he can do he can be an ace level breakout. Three top end starters with our line-up? No way we're as bad as projected.

I suppose Frazier also had a rough few weeks too when he transitioned to the hot corner.

Not really. He was very solid defensively at third in the minors. Once they realized that, they tried moving him around a ton to find him a spot where there was an opening on the big league club. But he was always at least solid at third.

I am sure you are right about Frazier in the minors. But I remember his initial switch there being a little rough.... not that my memory is infallible.
