Looking forward to some guys getting going this series. Looking at Saurez and Senzel mostly, the Reds need these guys to be way better if they are going to be any good this year or in the future.

And that is based on them raking lefties, so they are even worse against righties.

#Reds Josh VanMeter said Matt Bowman has nicknames for everyone at Prasco Park and uses them in the at-bat intros. His nickname? "Sweatpants." He thinks it's because his baseball pants are too loose

Replying to
@ctrent
I thought he was meat sauce

that's his nickname for himself

We need a list of these nicknames. It’s what the people want.

Ditto. I also want to see the nickname jerseys with them.

David Bell said Mike Moustakas will do some on-field drills during BP today. If things continue to progress well, he could return as early as Sunday, the first day he's eligible to be activated from the 10-day IL. #Reds

And their best hitter, some dude named Phillip Evans who was in the Cubs organization last year, is on the 60-day DL.

Gotta start winning games. Let's hope Bell learned a hard lesson about constant tinkering last night. Rest your studs, but don't take them out when the game is close.

T-Bone has to be nails tonight. Reds have to take at least 3 of 4. The pirates are terrible, and the schedule only gets harder from here. Completely whiffed on the opportunity to beat up on the Tigers & Royals.

First off, I always look forward to you posting the lineups Ron. One of the best parts of the day. Thank you :thumbup:

Secondly, I read the article. My takeaway is the Reds need a manager who manages for a win rather than a tie. :cool:

The pinch run for Votto seemed so unnecessary at the time. The potential of Jankowski stealing a base or outrunning the throw seemed too remote to me to take Votto out of an almost certain AB. I only caught the last three innings so i assumed Votto was carrying an injury that would have stopped him running.

even against a tough schedule, starting 8-10 in a 60-game season puts you behind the 8-ball.

against bad teams? oh boy. and better get this game turned around or it's 8-11, mostly against very bad teams.

Good teams don’t give up homeruns to Pirates players.

Desclafani needs to be DFA’d immoderately, and publicly shamed before he throws another pitch in a reds uniform.

I might take it a step further and take him to court for the punitive damages caused to the emotions to the fans and rest of the players on the field.

It’s funny, this same thing happened to the pirates a few days ago against the Tigers. Holland gave up 4 home runs in first 5 batters or something. They ended up keeping him in for 5-6 innings. I was listening to the Effectively Wild Podcast and they were talking about how they had a discussion about it a few years prior “how many home runs is the maximum a manager will allow a starter to give up before taking him out.”

Maybe we are about to find out.

Like yes, this was fantastically awful by Disco. Literally the worst start I can remember.

But you realize his last 105 starts as a Red overall have been above average.

Like your a smart guy. But your takes lately come across as some of the least educated and interesting I have ever read in my life. Like you’ve been on this board forever. You know the ups and downs of baseball.

Yet you still say stuff like this. It’s embarrassing and it seriously comical for anyone here who has any clue what’s going on.

As comparison, Mike Leake allowed 6 runs in the first inning, September 4, 2014 but came away with a no decision.......Parra took the loss in a 7-9 game.

Leake was awarded a $5,925,000 salary in 2014.

Even if futile I’d like to see Reds score a bunch of runs.

Disappointing offense so far this season.

My thoughts too. I wanna see these guys put together some decent ABs and score some runs on this mediocre Pirates pitching staff. It's still an opportunity for the offense to build some momentum...

I don't think so. He's a generally good pitcher who is having a bad day. It happens. He's been frequently injured though and that should be the concern here.

If he’s healthy, the mental aspect of this is my real concern. He can’t have any confidence left.

This might be true and has been the result for the last few years, especially compared to 1st base peers.

He’s trying some different techniques this year but is resulting in insanely low quality contact.

He can keep trying new things but I just wonder if his bat speed isn’t high enough to do real damage consistently.
