Ok. Not a LH. Then I would be placing a call to him and advising him on a few things if I were the GM. Penny is a bench player not a starter. Waste of time starting him.

Meh, they were probably planning to bring him up until they found out Suarez wouldn't be out as long as they previously thought. So now he's back to 2B.

Last time Mahle pitched a few posters were saying he does not belong up here either. Like Romano the other night.

Duvall really struggling, the pitchers have him figured out. Reds almost never face lefty starters which hurts Adam.

Reds could use more lefty hitting. With Schebler out, facing RHP every night, not enough LHH.

Absolutely. But when they bring Senzel up I’d bring Elizalde with him.

It’s why I hate these short benches. Where’s the lefty hitting specialist?

So they use Ervin who can’t hit much, is RH, but can play all three outfield positions.

Agree. I think it also gets in the hitters’ heads too. Jay Bruce IMO would have been a different hitter in a different stadium.

And it hurts the hitters on the road. They get lots of warning track fly balls and not enougn line drive singles.

Still, Reds should be better at taking advantage of GABP.

Cards unveil a new starting pitcher what seems like every season with at least a solid measure of success. They’re *always* ready to go, with few exceptions.

I wonder if it’s that they trade for and sign and retain veteran starters consistently so they don’t have to constantly overpromote. *monocle emoji*

They need to change the manager --doesn't matter who it is --they just need to tell the guy --you got a free ticket for the rest of the year. Do the best you can. What will make me crazy is if Price gets to stay for any kind of comeback. He doesn't deserve it. He's a loser and i've seen enough.

I think Garrett and Mahle could be very good MLB starters. But the Reds sure look like they might be making that possibility much more remote than it needs to be.

Getting rid of two rows of seats in right, between making the wall higher and the extra few feet, would make a world of difference.

Also making the wall weirdly high above the bullpen.

Could they extend the wall with plexiglass topper? Not ideal for the front row but avoids removing seats.

Really need to develop a drinking game for Price's Double switches.

Actually, the two double switches were correctly implemented in this case.

The first one had Gosselin replacing Pennington at 3B, batting 9th, and Quackenbush replacing Mahle, hitting 8th. Pennington had made the final out in the previous inning, so Gosselin led off the next inning.

Quackenbush stayed in the game until his spot (#8) came up, and he was lifted for PH Blandino, who singled. Gosselin made the final out, so Blandino remained in the game at 3B, hitting 8th, and new pitcher Hughes entered in the #9 spot.

It was a good bunt by Peraza, to the right side against a LHP falling off toward 3B. The pitcher just made a good play to recover. The scorer credited Peraza with a SAC, but I believe he was trying to get a hit, because he didn't tip his hand until the very last moment.
