No Senzel

[Kilgore_Trout]

Sticking with my pessimistic gut-feeling that he’s having another bout of vertigo. Reds personnel have been less than honest before.

[NebraskaRed]

Bell's insistence on batting Suarez third is getting ridiculous, but then I'm not sure who should go there with this lineup.

[Bourgeois Zee]

Let the pessimism begin.

[Big Klu]

I didn't expect him to play. Everyone last night who was saying that "if it was just a migraine and not vertigo then he would be fine" was off base. Even if it is "just a migraine" (and I have no reason to believe otherwise), that is a very debilitating condition. While I have been fortunate not to have ever experienced one myself, I have had a couple of friends and colleagues who have suffered from them; they have missed multiple days of work as a result, and their jobs are not as physically challenging as trying to hit a projectile moving at 95+ mph.

[JFLegal]

something seemed very off with senzel when he was being interviewed last night (not sure why the reds even made him available, regardless of whether it was a migraine or vertigo, it was clearly enough that he had to miss the rest of the game).

he wasn't even trying to be a jerk ("clown question bro" bryce harper style). but a reporter asked him: "what did you see on your home run?

senzel: "saw the ball, hit the homer" (pretty much said under his breath).

normally, i wouldn't think anything of it, but senzel usually offers more than a few words when a reporter asks him a question. he just seemed like he was in another world when being interviewed.

man i hope this is nothing serious. but i am concerned.

I've had one before, it felt like my eyeball was going to explode and eventually made me blow chunks. It is not a one day thing most of the time.

I'm more concerned about the idiotic question.

[Ironman92]

Let’s keep it rolling

[Wonderful Monds]

Extremely concerned about Senzel. I’ve had migraines and vertigo before, they aren’t always completely separate things like you might expect, and there are different kinds of migraines. A guy with a history of vertigo bad enough to knock him out of the lineup for weeks at a time, having neurological issues again that are often times related, extremely bad sign.

[RiverfrontRed]

I'm glad they're not subbing in VanMeter or Ervin. Quite honestly, I've seen enough of both of them. I hope Senzel is fine and maybe PHs today.

[Kc61]

I'm glad they're not subbing in VanMeter or Ervin. Quite honestly, I've seen enough of both of them. I hope Senzel is fine and maybe PHs today.

I don’t think we have to worry about that very much. The Reds are looking for opportunities to give Peraza playing time now that Iglesias is fixed at short. When Scooter comes back they will have even more of a que for playing time. They are deep enough to withstand this - although obviously the best thing is for Senzel to be healthy and out there.

Hope Senzel is ok, I know that some people suffer with migraines and vertigo, hopefully in his case it’s readily treatable and short-lived.

[JaxRed]

I might of given Suarez a day off and started Farmer.

[RiverfrontRed]

Opposite to the past two nights, I think today will be a low scoring affair - something like 3-2. I think Castillo pitches a little sharper when the game is close and low scoring. My prediction is that he'll hand it off after 6 while giving up only 1 run. Let's hope the bullpen can get us to #7.

ugh, thanks for sharing your personal experiences. i've never had a migraine (or vertigo) so it's interesting to hear your perspective. i hope i'm wrong, but sounds like we should brace ourselves for a possible injured list stint for senzel. hopefully a short one if it happens.

monds, is there medication that helps with this?

[RedTeamGo!]

This is such a bummer. Reds are cursed.

[Wonderful Monds]

I would be surprised if it doesn’t result in an IL stint given his history. There are treatments you can get to deal with them, but my episodes only lasted a couple months so I wasn’t even prescribed anything for it by the time it just sort disappeared.

[Bourgeois Zee]

i've never had a migraine (or vertigo) so it's interesting to hear your perspective.

I have had migraines for years.

It's usually a two-day/ 24 hour thing. Hard to concentrate. Bright lights hurt. Dizzy.

I can't imagine trying to hit a ball or play during a bout.

That said, it's incredibly minor as far as debilitation goes.

[malcontent]

The Reds are looking for opportunities to give Peraza playing time now that Iglesias is fixed at short. When Scooter comes back they will have even more of a que for playing time.
I'd much prefer to see Ervin, who is actually an OF (didn't say great one), and who has better OPS in both MiLB and MLB (due to far superior plate discipline).

But you're right, the Reds seem dedicated to Peraza.

[Tom Servo]

I'd prefer to see Ervin, who is actually an OF (didn't say great one), and who has better OPS in both MiLB and MLB.

Peraza had a pretty good game yesterday.

[Kingspoint]

Our Bullpen got taxed last night. There's has been busy. Even if the Starters pitch well, I think the bullpens will give up multiple runs each.

At least 5 needed to win this afternoon.

[Spanky]

Bobby nightengale tweeted that Bell expects Senzel to be available off the bench today.

[Tony Cloninger]

I'd much prefer to see Ervin, who is actually an OF (didn't say great one), and who has better OPS in both MiLB and MLB (due to far superior plate discipline).

But you're right, the Reds seem dedicated to Peraza.

The dislike of Ervin can only be his defense. The guy is a good enough hitter to be a 4th OF and play in situations like this.

Peraza has shown no confidence in himself and gets down and out when things are going his way.

[Bruce Berenyi]

another nick with vertigo like nick esasky

[RedsfaninMT]

Having battled migraines for the last 40 years, and Vertiginous for the last 27, my experience is they can be very different. Vertiginous migraine headaches are no fun and usually last at least 48 hours. I think there is great variability in migraines from one person to the next and by no means are all migraines vertiginous. It's quite likely that Senzel is having simply a migraine and it is separate entirly from his vertigo.

[Kc61]

I'd much prefer to see Ervin, who is actually an OF (didn't say great one), and who has better OPS in both MiLB and MLB (due to far superior plate discipline).

But you're right, the Reds seem dedicated to Peraza.

Don’t forget, Peraza had 182 base hits last year, IIRC he led the Reds. He’s a talented player. Where he goes wrong are these prolonged slow starts which must end, hopefully next season.

Now that he’s playing a utility role, he can be extremely valuable with both IF and OF ability. So I see where the Reds are coming from. Got key hits in the last Astros game and last night.

I like Ervin too BTW, but if he’s only mediocre in CF, it’s a minus for a fourth OF type.

[Kc61]

Peraza had a pretty good game yesterday.

And led off the ninth against the Astros with a double, in the sweep game.

[Wonderful Monds]

Bobby nightengale tweeted that Bell expects Senzel to be available off the bench today.

Thank god man. The Reds better keep him in touch with a good neurologist just be to safe for the amount of issues he has with that stuff.

[North]

Mets lead Cubs 5 zip after three. :thumbup:

i would hope the reds already would have done this considering nick's history with vertigo.

It's a good thing things are going his way, then.

Over the last week, he's .353/ .316/ .588/ .904.

[NatiRedGals]

Ugh tucker wouldn't mind calling up turner until barnhart figures out his problems not saying turner is good but you can't reward tucker for doing nothing

[JFLegal]

Mets now lead the Cubs 9-0 in the top of the 5th at Wrigley.

[JFLegal]

Ugh tucker wouldn't mind calling up turner until barnhart figures out his problems not saying turner is good but you can't reward tucker for doing nothing

stuart turner is not even the starting catcher for the bats (plus he's sporting an ops of .368). if the reds needed a catcher from louisville, it would be juan graterol and his .587 ops.

so, even as bad as barnhart has been, there is no way the reds will send him down.

[NatiRedGals]

How's Tyler Stephenson doing in Chattanooga

[Ron Madden]

Tommy Thrall said the roof is open today with a strong wind blowing in from Left Field.

Could be a good day for pitchers

[JFLegal]

nice start, jesse with a single.

[NebraskaRed]

Winker puts an end to the no-hitter.

[Ron Madden]

Da Wink leads it off with a clean single to RF

[JFLegal]

2-1 pitch on suarez at least a half-foot outside. called a strike.

[The Operator]

Just saw that. I must be on a slight delay since I'm using the Spectrum App with my Roku. Wife and her sister have dibs on the family room TV today so I'm hunkered down in the bedroom where we don't have a cable box.

And yes, that was awful awful strike call. Bring on the robots.

[NebraskaRed]

Dietrich getting booed loudly.

[TheBigLebowski]

So nice not to have Thom for these road games

[JFLegal]

diet-rich!

[NebraskaRed]

Dietrich with an RBI triple

[Ron Madden]

Good AB for DD

[JFLegal]

what a hell of an at-bat.

[Tom Servo]

Diet Rich triple l! Suck it Milwaukee

[NebraskaRed]

Brewers fans are ready to pelt him with cheese? brats?

[ochoa30]

Nice Ab's again so far

[The Operator]

Dietrich!!!!

1-0 Reds!


Way to shut those boo birds up

[TheBigLebowski]

Low calorie diet rich

[JFLegal]

[JCM11]

I like this team.

[The Operator]

Puig!!!!!!

3-0 Reds!!!!!

[TheBigLebowski]

WOWZA

[The Operator]

Lol these doofus Brewer fans are ready to riot.

[adkindo]

hottest team in baseball?

[ochoa30]

3 spots in the first inning are pretty sweet

[adkindo]

safe...but closer than I thought

[The Operator]

Nearly a crazy play with Arcia and a Relay throw but Iglesias beats it

[ochoa30]

Hes out, nice play

[The Operator]

Ooooh he may have been out

[NebraskaRed]

Brewers fans are jacked up on caffeinated cheese curds

[Tom Servo]

booo

[The Operator]

They call him out.

That's a web gem for sure.

[adkindo]

wow....that was close...still would have called him safe on the tie...heck of a defensive play

[Big Klu]

[The Operator]

Alrighty Luis, the bullpen has been taxed so we need you to be the horse that we know you are today.

[Trademark]

Puig is on fire !

[The Operator]

Klu, where do you generate these lists from? I've always found them informative.

[NatiRedGals]

Grandal 3-1

[The Operator]

Well crap.

3-1 on a Grandal leadoff homer

[NebraskaRed]

Tommy Thrall said the roof is open today with a strong wind blowing in from Left Field.

Could be a good day for pitchers

or not

[Trademark]

What was that Castillo?

[The Operator]

What was that Castillo?

He gave up a homer to a guy that hits homers. Sucks but it does happen.

[ochoa30]

Not a good start for Castillo. Come on dude. Settle down.

[Ron Madden]

or not

Haha! Both those HRs were Hammered

[The Operator]

Yelich walks.

Come on Luis.

[Big Klu]

Klu, where do you generate these lists from? I've always found them informative.

My own research of the databases at baseball-reference.com, MLB.com, and retrosheet.org.

[The Operator]

Luis seems very out of sorts so far.

[ochoa30]

Smoked

[The Operator]

Crap

Moustakas doubles

Runners at 2nd and 3rd with nobody out

[GAC]

Up to this point he can't get his breaking stuff over

[TheBigLebowski]

So Luis has zero stuff today

[The Operator]

He's throwing everything to the first base side of the plate. Seems to be flying open.

[WVRedsGuy]

Same game as his last start in Milwaukee.

[ochoa30]

Command is an issue for Luis and it's not just today but this is going to get ugly here fast if he doesnt figure it out

[GAC]

He's all over the place LOL

[The Operator]

Walks the bases loaded

Finally Derek Johnson makes an appearance.

[JCM11]

Castillio is making Sonny's start seem good.

[davereds24]

They have 2 off days coming up, I hope they don't let this go too long.

[Equinox]

Brewers have a strong offense so splitting them at their place isn’t bad at all, can still win tomorrow and take the series. I’m proud of what the reds accomplished this week despite today

[WVRedsGuy]

Perfect way to blow a 6 game winning streak with our “ace” on the mound.

[Tom Servo]

Same game as his last start in Milwaukee.
Yeah that was my fear. This is a patient team, they will make him throw strikes and make it easier to tee off on them.


Perfect way to blow a 6 game winning streak with our “ace” on the mound.
alright man chill the hell out

[The Operator]

Thames up with the bases loaded. Ugh

[Ron Madden]

Its been awhile since Reds made a Triple Play

[Big Klu]

I wonder if Brewers fans complain about that apparatus Thames has on his right arm.

You're throwing in the towel in the 1st when we have the lead?

Come on Luis. Throw up a double play ball.

Something to be said for beating the rush

[GAC]

You're throwing in the towel in the 1st when we have the lead?

Simply amazing isn't it LOL

[NatiRedGals]

Wonder if it's mound at Miller park?

[Hillsdale87]

Castillo is awesome, but for some reason struggles when he gets spotted a lead. Could just be a coincidence, but his worst outings seem to be when the offense actually shows up. When he has to protect a small lead or keep it close he really bears down

Reds had a pretty good run. Too bad they're going to lose the rest of the games until the all-star break.

Behavioral conditioning by the Reds over the last 4+ years.

That probably should be two errors on Jose Iglesias.

[ochoa30]

Just take the out Jose. Damn.

[The Operator]

Jesus Iglesias

Tie ball game

[JCM11]

Idiotic throw by Iglesias. You gotta know who's running there.

[North]

How Keystone Koppish...:bang:

A rare Iglesias blender. he should have held that one

I knew we wouldn’t be leading after this inning, I think the brewers will put up a couple more at least. Just a bad day, you’ll have them in baseball. Just need to bounce back tomorrow and against the angles which is possible

1 down


Come on Luis. Throw up a double play ball.

[mhs95_06]

That should be two errors on Iggy.

[The Operator]

Perfect way to blow a 6 game winning streak with our “ace” on the mound.

He's been one of the best in baseball so far this year. No need for the condescending quotation marks.

[GAC]

And that was a DP ball.

[Burger Beer]

It's the 1st inning. Relax. Castillo will regain focus. And Chacin is no world beater.

[Ron Madden]

Haven’t seen a player yet that never makes an eri

[The Operator]

4-3 Brewers on the run scoring groundout to Votto


2 down

[Big Klu]

That should be two errors on Iggy.

Agreed. A fielding error that allowed the batter to reach base, and a throwing error that allowed the runner originally on second to score.

[JCM11]

And that was a DP ball.

Not with Arcia running.

[TheBigLebowski]

4 runs and still going. Way to take momentum and go tinkle on it.

[Falls City Beer]

Lot of borderline strikes not getting called for Castillo this inning didn’t help either.

[JCM11]

Can't even put the pitcher away.

[The Operator]

Full count to Chacin

Come on Luis

[NebraskaRed]

37 pitches, 4 runs. Yikes that inning sucked.

[kaldaniels]

Wonder if it's mound at Miller park?

The Brewers announcers not speculated that. And laughed.

[ochoa30]

Not good but it's only a one run game. Just hope Castillo can settle in and go 5 innings.

[GAC]

I don't think the scoring is over in this game

[The Operator]

Welp, safe to say that could have gone much better.


Come on offense, we're gonna need more. This would be a great day for Votto and Geno to get involved.

[TheBigLebowski]

That was ridiculous

[adkindo]

I don't think the scoring is over in this game

way to climb out on that limb ;)

[Tom Servo]

Milwaukee certainly isn't Castillo's town, that's 8 runs in 3.2 innings in his starts there this year so far.

[Falls City Beer]

The Brewers offense heated up last night. Not surprised to see them on again today. Just focus on getting 3 of 4.

[ochoa30]

Luis Castillo is the Reds Ace. He is not a true Ace yet though. His command just isnt where it needs to be. That's just how it is. Still damn happy to have him. Hes made great strides this year so far.

[The Operator]

Peraza singles to lead off the 2nd

[Ron Madden]

Throw the ball up around Tucker’s eyes and he’ll swing at it

[The Operator]

Luis Castillo is the Reds Ace. He is not a true Ace yet though. His command just isnt where it needs to be. That's just how it is. Still damn happy to have him. Hes made great strides this year so far.

Yep he's got to get the command issues figured out to really take that next step.

Like you though I'm extremely happy he's a Red.

[Falls City Beer]

Who is the Reds’ long man out of the pen? Lorenzen?

[The Operator]

Tucker grounds out, 1 out

[ochoa30]

Who is the Reds’ long man out of the pen? Lorenzen?

Stephenson could probably go 3 innings depending on effectiveness

[NebraskaRed]

at least Tucker's weak grounder prevents us from having to watch Castillo try and bunt.

[kaldaniels]

Watching there with Peraza on first - he’s been a disappointment with the steals.

Didn’t he steal like 70 in the minors one year? Yeah it’s the minors but c’mon.

[Tom Servo]

Who is the Reds’ long man out of the pen? Lorenzen?
Stephenson I imagine, Bowman normally as well but he's probably unavailable.

[mhs95_06]

Opposite to the past two nights, I think today will be a low scoring affair - something like 3-2. I think Castillo pitches a little sharper when the game is close and low scoring. My prediction is that he'll hand it off after 6 while giving up only 1 run. Let's hope the bullpen can get us to #7.

After one, the 3-2 score was exceeded by 1 by each team! That's why we watch the games!

[The Operator]

Luis K's on 3 breaking balls

2 outs

[mhs95_06]

[Spanky]

Well this is going to suck.

[Falls City Beer]

Castillo is getting squeezed a bit

[The Operator]

Gamel walks

Luis just not on his game today

[NebraskaRed]

I'm hoping Castillo just had a rough first inning and will pull it all together.

that leadoff walk didn't give me more hope, tho

[TheBigLebowski]

Come ON Luis. Freaking throw strikes

[ochoa30]

Castillo is getting squeezed a bit

No, those were all balls clearly

[NatiRedGals]

Is it bad that i have to use GameDay to know what the count is because thrall nightengale and graves are talking and talking and talking

[dsterry]

It's looking like Castillo isn't going to be around long at all today.

[The Operator]

1-2 pitch to Grandal looked pretty good to me

[NebraskaRed]

Castillo just looks like he's wildly throwing the ball with no clear method.

[The Operator]

Whoa! Make up call?

Grandal K's on a pitch inside clearly


1 down

[ochoa30]

1-2 pitch to Grandal looked pretty good to me

Yes, but he missed his spot by a mile and it was an impossible call for the ump

[kaldaniels]

Robot ump would have made that AB tolerated better by all parties involved.

[GAC]

Grandal pulled that crap yesterday with the umpire after looking at a called third strike. A hole. LOL

[Falls City Beer]

No, those were all balls clearly

Not in that Grandal ab. And a few weren’t called in the 1st. I usually don’t kvetch about umping but there were some missed calls.

[North]

The Seinfeld look-alike flies out.

[The Operator]

Phew

Yelich gave that one a ride but it's out #2

[ochoa30]

Not in that Grandal ab. And a few weren’t called in the 1st. I usually don’t kvetch about umping but there were some missed calls.

He missed one in the Grandal AB but not one ump in the league calls it with how far Barnhart had to reach for it. I gripe about umpires plenty but Castillo has no one to blame today but himself.

[The Operator]

Moustakas singles with 2 out

Runners 1st and 2nd

[GAC]

54 pitches so far in the second inning. He's not long for this world LOL

[NatiRedGals]

Agreed you can be effectively wild but can't be so wild that ump won't give you benefits of doubt

[NebraskaRed]

well, at least no runs scored.

[kaldaniels]

He missed one in the Grandal AB but not one ump in the league calls it with how far Barnhart had to reach for it. I gripe about umpires plenty but Castillo has no one to blame today but himself.

I know that’s how it is.

But it bothers me when a ball is literally “in the strike zone” but is called a ball because it wasn’t pretty.

I hope that bothers everyone.

[NatiRedGals]

Tell cain thanks that was like a gift

100% bothers me

It's why the human element of balls and strikes needs to be removed

[Ron Madden]

If Tucker would sit still directly behind the plate he wouldn’t have to reach near as much

He starts jumping around while the pitch is being delivered

[ochoa30]

I know that’s how it is.

But it bothers me when a ball is literally “in the strike zone” but is called a ball because it wasn’t pretty.

I hope that bothers everyone.

It does bother me quite often especially when a pitcher hits his spot and it's just a blatant no call. I just cant get upset at a call I'm 99% sure no human makes. The game is what it is until robot umps are a thing. Just a matter of time I hope.

Votto hitless last night, and 0 for 2 so far today

[The Operator]

Joey K's on a slider right in the heart of the zone

1 out

[Ron Madden]

Geno ties it up

[Tom Servo]

Geno!! :jump:

[NebraskaRed]

Geno!

[Burger Beer]

Hey-you-hiney-hole!!!

[ochoa30]

Suarez!!! Let's hope that gets him hot again. Reds need it.

[The Operator]

Geno!!!!!!


Tie game!!!!!!!

[JaxRed]

Reds and Geno needed that.

[NebraskaRed]

Hey-you-hiney-hole!!!

is there a way for Redszone to vote on nicknames, and if a certain nickname fails to get a number of votes, it's banned?

[TheBigLebowski]

Welcome back ay hoo haney oh

[dsterry]

Nice swing by Suarez. He had a couple of hard hit balls last night but hopefully that gets him going.

[The Operator]

I'm guessing by the applause that the fans just threw the homer back.

I don't often get on board with Marty's rants but why do people do that? Why emulate drunken Cubs fans? Keep the souvenir.

[Burger Beer]

I'm guessing you don't like that one.

Congratulations to Eugenio Suarez, who has tied Frank McCormick for 23rd place on the Reds'all-time home run list.

[The Operator]

Dietrich hits one, as Thom would say straight up in the air.

2 outs

[ochoa30]

Chacin is getting a generous outside corner on righties so far

[North]

Milwaukee's catcher is dressed like a cub scout.

[Ron Madden]

Cubs are down 10-1 in the bottom of the 9th

[Equinox]

Slug fest are more entertaining than pitchers duels, I just want to win either way.

[The Operator]

Puig also hits one straight up in the air

Two examples where Thom would have been correct and he wasn't here to say it. And I'm okay with that.

[mhs95_06]

54 pitches so far in the second inning. He's not long for this world LOL

Still on track for a 5 inning stint, a 3.6 ERA on the day, and a possible win!

[NebraskaRed]

Thames can still do occasional damage, but it seems like a lot of Reds pitchers have figured him out.

[Ron Madden]

Good Play Geno!

[The Operator]

I'm praying Luis can settle down and gives us 5 today.

- - - Updated - - -


Good Play Geno!

You beat my game feed, LOL. A nice play indeed.

[Big Klu]

Thames can still do occasional damage, but it seems like a lot of Reds pitchers have figured him out.

A lot of different pitchers from the previous two seasons.

[NebraskaRed]

walking a guy hitting .176 falls under the category of "NOT GOOD"

[ochoa30]

That's a strike

[JCM11]

The 3 straight breaking balls out of the zone with an 0-2 count is a joke. Challenge the hitters.

[The Operator]

Luis can't believe that was called ball 4 to Shaw


Looked pretty good to me

[NebraskaRed]

yeah, but the other 3 balls weren't.

[The Operator]

Chacin pops out

4-4 after 3.


Come on offense, get back to work.

[dfs]

Any comments made from the broadcast crews on why Senzel is not playing?

[ochoa30]

Either way a scoreless 3rd and improvement from Luis. Id take 2 more good innings from him tonight and be pretty damn happy.

[The Operator]

yeah, but the other 3 balls weren't.

True, but a missed call is a missed call. It's why we need automation.

[GADawg]

Klu, where do you generate these lists from? I've always found them informative.

He has them memorized

[The Operator]

Any comments made from the broadcast crews on why Senzel is not playing?

You haven't heard the whole backstory?

Left last night after a home run. Reds cited a migraine after the game and he was clearly out of sorts in his post game interview.

Supposedly available off the bench today, we shall see. Many people worried, myself included.

[ochoa30]

True, but a missed call is a missed call. It's why we need automation.

What bothers me most about that one is hes giving Chacin 3 inches off the edge. He called Grandal out on a pitch further inside and then Luis Paints the inside corner and doesnt get the call. Just want some consistency from this guy tonight.

Agree 100%

[ochoa30]

Lol, gotta feel for Tucker a bit there. That was hit well.

[GAC]

Nice play

[dfs]

I got yesterday's story. And I just heard the TV guys say he was/wasn't available today.

[The Operator]

Shift takes away a would be single from Barnhart

Man is he scuffling

[JaxRed]

BTW... not sure that "one of the top 100 window manufactures in the US" is that great a claim.

[JCM11]

Walks the #9 hitter for the second time:bang:

[ochoa30]

That just cant happen. Please get somebody up.

[NebraskaRed]

Stop.......walking....people

[GAC]

I don't see Castillo coming out for the 5th

[Burger Beer]

Lost it in the shadow.

[fielder's choice]

Maybe someone who has no idea how to play outfield shouldn't be our center fielder. I don't know

[JCM11]

No more Peraza in CF.

[ochoa30]

Ugh. That sucks.

[WVRedsGuy]

Wow

[The Operator]

What the heck Peraza?!?

5-4 Brewers

[GAC]

Peraza lol I'm assuming he lost it in the sunlight

[TheBigLebowski]

Peraza is so bad.

[NebraskaRed]

Castillo walked 6 in his last start, so this isn't just a bad start for him.

[ochoa30]

Really feel like it's time to make a move to the pen. 85 pitches with nobody out in the 4th.

[NC-Red]

Just not sold on Castillo as an ace. He’s good but nothing special. He’s a #2 on a legit contender

[fielder's choice]

Meanwhile we have an actual center fielder on our bench. Gotta get Peraza's offense in there I guess

[JCM11]

Peraza lol I'm assuming he lost it in the sunlight

Line drives don't get high enough to lose in the sun.

[TheBigLebowski]

This ump needs a good shoe to the face.

[The Operator]

A #2 on a legit contender isn't special?

[ochoa30]

Yelich does Castillo a big favor
