Yeah, Hamilton simply doesn't get on base enough to justify batting first in this lineup. I would platoon him. He doesn't even justify more than 350 plate appearances on a season. I'd probably play him in 150+ games, but "more than" half of them would be where he enters in the 7th inning or later as a pinch-runner, then stays in for Defense.

These uniforms are horrible.

And is it just me, or does the red not match the usual red that they normally use in their uniforms?

And is it just me, or does the red not match the usual red that they normally use in their uniforms?All the home uniforms are horrible. The away ones are not so bad--lots of color. Speaking of color, my HD TV see the red on the uniforms to be a tad brighter, but the color of the hats don't match the uniform. Poor quality. I am not a fan.

And now it seems the Pirate yellow matches the hat. The Reds must have received a bad batch. Hopefully they put them in mothballs after tomorrow.

That was a perfect example of a runner running before the pitch was called a strike

Duvall has been impressive as hell defensively this year. Leading the bigs in OF assists after gunning down the runner at the dish. :thumbup:

Christian Hackenberg looks like he'd fit right in on the red's pitching staff.

Tom Servo

Castillo made a boo-boo giving up a solo HR to Gerrit Cole, but otherwise is still rolling.

Great defensive play by Peraza to end the 6th.

Billy simply wasting ABs tonight with failed bunt attempts, cool. Glad we're doing this instead of giving Phillip Ervin a look.

Reds look hapless at the plate. Cole pitching a gem.

Erwin went 4-6 with 2 HRs against the Cubs a week and a half ago and has 2 abs (with one hit an and RBI) since.

Last Saturday Evening before school starts. Too many other things to do.

Didn't Cole homer against us last year, too?

Fantastic start from Castillo even if Redszone isn't watching. 7 innings, 3 hits, 1 walk, 9 strikeouts, 1 earned run (Cole HR) on 106 pitches.

This doesn't look good for the Reds. I guess the lesson here is to pitch the pitcher like he's Babe Ruth

If Hamilton platooned next season, whom would he split plate appearances with?

WVRedsFan

Ervin will probably play more in September. I guess?The outfield is pretty full. Duvall is ging to hit 35 homers + and 100+ RBI. Schebler has been hot. Hamilton is the weak link except for defense, but you and i and the great multitudes know that they're not going to bench Billy. Where does Ervin play? I don't know.

It could just continue being dark. I am looking for light. Castillo is some light.

Do you have something planned? Are you dressing up like a patomine villain or the Noid while carrying out this plan? Or Are you going Jeff Gallolie on Billy?

Billy will probably sit when he wins the SB title then get the same mysterious hip pointer that Winker got.

Peralta in for his Darrold Knowles role as the LH Mike Marshall.

After our recent brouhaha about including pitchers batting stats in their WAR, the Reds are going to lose a game 1-0 on a home run by the opposing pitcher.

In the interest of fairness, tonight was certainly not the night where Castillo earned his half a win (more than straily) at the plate.

Chapman lost his Closer's job. Alonso had an 11th-inning, game-winning HR against him last night. Great win for the Mariners. But, yes, he is Chapman-light.

Michael Lorenzen being 8-2 while Luis Castillo is 2-7 is yet another nail in the coffin for pitcher wins and losses.

Tonight's Joe Nuxhall Star of the Game is Pirates RHP Gerrit Cole, who pitched 7 innings allowing no runs on 5 hits with 6 K's to get the win, and also scored the game's only run with a solo HR.

I had to go to the Blue Ash Food & Music Festival with family but listened to the game on my walkman radio.
Castillo pitched a great game it's a shame he couldn't get a win.
Sometimes ya just get beat.

Well folks did say Castillo reminded them of Cueto. Suppose we better give him no run support too. Tough loss for him.
