A-team on the field...Bieber is due for stinker. Might as well make it now.

[Tom Servo]

Gonna be a tough one, Bieber hasn't given up a run yet this year. Insane 27 strikeouts to 1 walk ratio in just two starts.

Some of us liked him as a trade target for the Reds a few years back, others on here didn't want to trade major league talent for "a minor leaguer" :redface:

To be fair, if the Reds had traded for him and took over his development, he’d probably be in our bullpen struggling to record 3 outs every 4 days.

[DocRed]

Nice to see a full starting lineup! Bieber has been wicked good this year, gonna be tough.

The Indians lineup has been added to the original post

Shane Bieber has faced 50 batters on the season. He has struck out 27.

I take back my joke about the Reds having a very poor track record of turning top starting pitching prospects into productive major league starters. :cry:

We might beat him but he won’t give up more than 3-4 of them.

He’s their Sonny Gray but maybe even better numbers.

EXTEND BELL and WILLIAMS!

[Coopdaddy67]

[NebraskaRed]

[reds77]

Give Cast an extension now.

[JFLegal]

mahle with another 3-2 count ... and gets the K!

[EnglishRed]

Cast is just a bit good isn't he...

[Tom Servo]

I think Redszone was willing to trade just about anything for Bradley Zimmer at one point

[JFLegal]

mahle falls behind 3-0 ... and walks the 6th hitter.

he is fairly decent at the baseball.

Mahle still kind of looking like his 2018 self, solid results but throwing a lot of pitches that might limit him to 5 innings at most.

Winker just isn't seeing the ball well at all.

[Kilgore_Trout]

Winker whining to the ump about clearly going around for strike two. Then takes a fastball right there.

He’s off. He’s frustrated. Give him a few games off after tonight.

[Tom Servo]

Senzel staying hot

[NebraskaRed]

Senzel is definitely seeing the ball well.

[ScotlandRed]

This year is Senzels coming out party

[NC-Red]

That was very bad by Galvis. Today's game seems like yesterdays game, only a matter of time until Cleveland takes the lead against Mahle.

[malcontent]

They're chasing curves in the dirt and taking fastballs for strike 3. Not a good plan.

[JP321]

The Reds need to forget hitting the curveball. Dont even look for it. Sit fastball and swing early in counts. His curveball is rarely thrown for a strike and you wont hit it regardless.

[NebraskaRed]

back-to-back Ks for mahle!

[NebraskaRed]

Nice work by Mahle.

[JFLegal]

dammit, mahle plunks him.

[NC-Red]

What in the F is Mahle doing?? His control is all over the place and backing himself into an awful corner

[JP321]

Mahle is grinding every pitch... fingers crossed

[NebraskaRed]

Pirates performing exactly how everyone expected them to, so far.

[NC-Red]

Mahle is scared to death of Santana, just walk him at this point

[Tom Servo]

Mahle could be a really good bullpen weapon when Miley returns, just throwing that out there.

[JFLegal]

mahle gets out of it. flirting with disaster, but i'll take it.

[NC-Red]

good god not the pitch to throw there, got very lucky....

[Mitri]

Mahle could be a really good bullpen weapon when Miley returns, just throwing that out there.

He's looked pretty damn good so far.

[EnglishRed]

Nice by Mahle to get out of that inning.

[mhs95_06]

Mahle averaging 21 pitches per inning, but all zeroes!

[JP321]

Mahle is scared to death of Santana, just walk him at this point

I dont think Mahle is scared of any of them, i just think he has no command of his pitches (fastball mostly). Bell just needs to have already realized this and have him on a super short leash. If Mahle is able to get you through 5 innings, you yank him.

[Brisco]

When I was nine I was just getting into baseball. My team had won the World Series the prior year.

I was talking about the World Series with my much older cousin when she said "They are doing pretty well again this year too!"

My response was "Nope. Its all over. They lost to San Diego last night. San Diego! No way can they win the series again if they lose games to the Padres."

The month was May and the year was 1976.

Thankfully that cousin sat me down and explained how baseball has many ebbs and flows and the key is to back your team through them all. Thanks to her I was able to fully enjoy the greatest of seasons without constantly trying to identify/predict reasons for possible failure.

I think about that conversation often when I read these game threads.

If the Reds lose this game they should just forfeit the rest of the season, every player should retire, blow up GABP, and then just dissolve the city of Cincinnati.

Good at bat by Shogo there. Nothin to show for it, but didn't go after those curveballs in the dirt.

It's good to see Senzel having success. It's huge for us if he breaks out.

Senzel looks much better in CF this season. Night and day. He lost weight, looks quick, really encouraging.

You might try staying away from the use of superlatives for a while. Nick screwed up, for sure, but to jump to "no sense" at baserunning seems like a leap.

I don't take Mahle out here. He's dealing. Yeah I know, Ramirez/Lindor, but he's got some pitches left.

[Brisco]

I will gladly accept a TOOTBLAN if the following half-inning is three quick catches by Nick.

[JFLegal]

sure looks like he's coming out. a lot of fist-bumps

[Ron Madden]

I'm torn between taking him out of letting him start the next inning. I'll live with what ever choice is made.

[podgejeff_]

He's still throwing 94-95. Doesn't look tired to me.

[BluegrassRedleg]

sure looks like he's coming out. a lot of fist-bumps

Those looked more like "good stuff" bumps. I think he goes one more.

[Tom Servo]

I think I'd give Mahle the chance to start the next inning but yank him if/when he doesn't get an out. Third time through against Lindor and Santana is tough though, there is reason to pull him.

[Kc61]

Just hard to know how stretched out Mahle is; what they expected from him.

If there’s doubt, I’d just pull him.

[JP321]

I just think Mahle has done his job.. let Strop start a clean inning

[JFLegal]

clearly a foul ball, how is that not reviewable?

Seems Moose isn’t his normal self at the plate. I’ve been wondering if the forearm injury is bothering him.

I think I'd give Mahle the chance to start the next inning but yank him if/when he doesn't get an out. Third time through against Lindor and Santana is tough though, there is reason to pull him.

For all the grumbles about the Reds offense... by OPS Lindor and Santana would rank 8th and 11th on the Reds... both behind Freddie Galvis, for example.

[JFLegal]

two down.

[Kc61]

Mahle getting a lot of pop ups tonight, even some of the OF fly balls.

Fine line, don’t want a FB pitcher, but whatever he’s doing is working tonight.

And I don't think Wade Miley would have held the Indians to one hit in 6 innings.

I think the Reds are going to need 6-7 quality starting pitchers this year anyway, given the short prep time and COVID fears. Pumped for Mahle but his control has been all over the place tonight and a better offense probably would have taken better advantage.

Sooooooo.... One more batter in the 7th? :)

[Kc61]

Of course, events overtook things. But I’m glad Mahle isn’t off roster “stretching out” and “being ready”. Some wanted him at AAA for that purpose.

When a talented guy is just about ready, let him advance. Even if his role is less than full time starter. The last stage of development is in the big leagues.

I would lock him up to a series of 1,000,000 one day team options so we can fire him after every loss and rehire him after every win.

I believe that’s the only way to keep many posters here happy.

awful, awful, awful. can't have an error on a routine play in a game like this.

Galvis needs replaced, he is a very poor fielder.

They should just cancel the season right now.

[Reds]

I'd take a triple play here
