He is in danger of becoming redundant though if Brandon Dixon starts mashing some taters.

unless you are moving scooter to the OF.

If this is the real Scooter they need to try and keep him.

Outfield or possibly 1B, unless Ryan McMahon really comes on none of their non-Blackmon options are close to being equal, let alone better, than Scooter.

So why is Scooter to the Reds OF considered a non-option by so many around here?

I'm actually open to playing him in the OF (I think it's the only way you can justify signing him to an extension) even though I think a trade is the better option. But the Rockies are in a pennant race and need offense.

Yes if he is going to slug over .700 every month they should probably do everything to keep him. But uh, he won't.

I would have double switched when Garrett came in and put Winker in LF. Duvall made the last out in the previous inning. Then kept Garrett in to pitch the 8th.

I would not have had Winker in the OF, but I wondered about just letting Garrett hit and save Blandino.

I wrote my post saying you are only good when the game is on the line that if Waite said it once, he said it a hundred times. My Dad used to repeat it. And then the play by Joey and Cruz and the unlikely DP. That's why I love baseball!

I'll just say this. Riggleman is 16-19 since he took over. Take away the shock that Price was gone where they went 0-3, and He's 16-16. I find that a monumental job. Do I want him to get the permanent job? Probably not, but I believe the job belongs to Barry Larkin. Sad but true.

Tonight, Mahle pitched 5 innings, allowed 6 hits and 4 runs, walked 4 and struck out 4. The bullpen pitched 4 innings, allowed 5 hits, walked 1, and stuck out 2. Mahle, though he has a future with this team, needs more work, as do Romano and somewhat, Castillo. These three are the future of the Reds and it has not been pretty. No matter what Homer or Matt do, this is it. As long as they don't get to the 6th inning, the bullpen will be worn out by the end of June. It's up to them, and outside of Castillo, I don't see much to get excited about right now. The additions to the bullpen have been relatively good with a couple of exceptions. Offense is relatively good, and I find Riggleman's handling of pitching (quick hook) and making lineup maneuvers at least standard. But veteran starting pitching is the key. We've waited so long for that and the brain trust wanted to bring in the kids.

He was cleared by all parties but it’s weird to think some still hold the “Phillips Incident” against him.
