Reds @ Pirates 8-23-19

[Rolando]

No. This was a case of inspiration vs. making bad decisions by the offense. Some of the pitches Senzel and Suarez swung at were totally out of the zone. Keller's ERA now 7.24. Everyone was beating him to death.
But the thing is that the closer didn't fall apart they still would have won the game

[Tom Servo]

Yes, but pinch hitting with BOG at an important time was a head-scratcher.
That’s the role BOG is supposed to fill though. If he can’t handle it (and it sure looks like he can’t at this time) he should be sent down.

The problem is the Reds have no depth that's on the front office

Winker and Votto being on the shelf aren't helping matters on the depth front.

It was a critical juncture in the game. It wasn't a time for a "test under fire" for a young player recently brought up.

IMO, it was just plain bad management.

I agree....do not care about the right/left stuff there.....Ervin hits both better than O'Grady. Not going to lie, I questioned bringing in AG when he did, but that worked out great.

You're not wrong but in the end of August everybody has injured players.

Oh I forgot Ervin was available then. That probably would have been the better call, but still if you have zero faith in O’Gradu there he shouldn’t be on the team.

Honestly O'Grady shouldn't be on a team he looks completely lost

[Kingspoint]

Please be good Raisel tonight


Pleeeeaaassseee be good Raisel

Why this even has to be said before he pitches shows just how horrible he is.

[mamell]

My internet connection found the perfect time to crap right out.. 2 hits with no out and BANG, but it's back.. Oh well..

Well...the MANAGER shouldn't have forgotten. :angry:

[Buffalo1979]

Hate to be a kneejerk guy, but after a good start, Senzel hasn’t exactly had the most inspiring rookie season.

I said that on the twitter feeds that he wasn't ready yet and got bashed left and right for it, I'm like OK, I should go look it back up and say, Told ya, Everyone wanted him up but He isn't ready and guess the experts aren't that great!

[Alabama]

Hardly. The Reds have done well compared to the previous 5 years. A team just short of .500? Maybe, but no way they are a bunchof losers.

Compared to the last 5 years of Reds teams.....just about anything looks good. But this team was built to win now, and they don’t know how. Name one player you feel confident in with the game on the line?

[goreds2]

So what happened last night?

[The Operator]

So what happened last night?

Reds were ahead until the 9th, at which point Iglesias gave up the lead and then Alabama stopped by to remind us all of how bad The Reds are and how smart he is for knowing they're bad.

Pretty typical night.

I have always wondered; Where do you get this list? It's pretty neat. I have seen, on this site, lists like this sorted in several different categories.

I researched them myself, using MLB.com and baseball-reference.com as resources.
