Reds go for the rare four game sweep tonight.
Suarez and Aquino in the middle of that lineup seems, all of the sudden, very formidable.
Start of the lineup reminds me of my eternal question "Why is the W called a "Double U" and not a "Double V?"

Aquino had 6 plate appearances against Dugger in the Southern League in 2018. Aquino had three singles and a BB. One of those bases may have been at the expense of a relief pitcher whom he faced once in those two games. Of course, that was before Aquino re-invented himself.

Reds abused The Marlins on the Straily/Castillo trade, Reds abused The Tigers on the Simon/Suarez deal.
Reds also did well dumping Latos before he fell off a cliff and getting Disco in return.
They got hosed on the Chapman deal for sure, but that was ordered by Bob.
Frazier deal was basically a wash.
Win some, lose some. "Lack of baseball knowledge" is a bit harsh.

Right now Aquino isn't missing when a pitcher makes a mistake. Just amazing what he is doing. That HR should have tied him Frank Robinson and Greg Vaughn with 14 HR's in a calendar month. (A Reds record) I like his chances of breaking that record. He also hold the MLB record for the fastest to 14 HR's to start a career.

Just don’t remember Alex Ochoa doing much of anything
He was a solid 4th/5th OF in 2000 and 2001. (Took over Jeffrey Hammonds' role.) Was a .300 hitter for the Reds in his two seasons. Traded to the Rockies for Todd Walker.
Ochoa is an interesting entry on this list. He is an American -- born in Miami -- but was the first member of his family to be born in the USA. His family had been Cuban refugees. His father was a doctor in Cuba, and had been arrested by the Castro regime. He was a model prisoner while in the prison camps, and the guards liked him because he did his work and caused no problems. So they recommended to their superiors that Dr. Ochoa and his family be included among the next group to be allowed to leave for the United States. Alex's mother was pregnant with him when they came to the US, and he was born in Miami.

Sadly for all of Thom's inanities and Raisel's problems he was of course right about the disappointing/disappearing offense. Getting all the pitching was great and we should be set in the rotation one way or another next year. Need to really work on targeting at least a couple of reliable and consistent bats though in the off season.

He could have not pinch hit Casali to keep a bench player and keep Stephenson in the game, but Bell would rather lose the game than go to multiple extra innings. New age manager! I'll bet he's highly in favor of starting every half inning after the 10th with a runner on 2nd.

You realize that a guy like Votto who moves slow may very well have bunted into a double play or into a fielder's choice at 3rd, right?

Once again bell refuses to play "small ball". the personality of the game was definitely low-scoring so you play for one run by bunting when you had first and second and no one out. If votto cant bunt, pinch hit with someone who can. I also fault Joey for not taking one for the team. With the shift on he could butcher boy one down the third bas line and walk to first. If you don't want to do that then have the batter square and take and double steal. Again with the shift on the pressure is on the defense.

Not asking Votto to bunt makes sense to me. Not having a few of your relievers go more than one inning when your offense was terrible and it looked like the game could go for a bit was what I thought didn't make sense.

While the big part of the blame has to go to Iglesias another big chunk of it has to go to the hitting. They got three hits and zero earned runs against a pitcher who was struggling big time in AAA. That just will not cut it. Also using all the relievers that Bell did goes back to my theory in that the more relievers you use the better the chance of one of them blowing the game. IMO BobSteve is a perfect candidate to become a three inning reliever specialist. He's been a starter and knows how to handle going multiple innings.

This team has been horrible at keeping the pressure on opposing pitchers. Big first inning then 4 or 5 innings 3 up and 3 down, scatter in a hit here and there while not getting anything going.

The offense has been very inconsistent this year, but that kid the Marlins had start the game pitched the game of his life. Sometimes it happens. Most guys on the MLB roster have some talent, and any starting pitcher can have a whale of a game. I remember Ron Villone dominating in about 4 starts in 1999 or 2000.. The rest of them were inconsistent or shaky..
We hit some good pitching, and Inglesis failed to deliver. The other relievers all came through, but he didn't.
