9-20-20 Reds vs White Sox

[Ron Madden]

First Pitch 1:10pm


Reds
1. Shogo Akiyama (L) LF
2. Nick Castellanos (R) RF
3. Joey Votto (L) 1B
4. Eugenio Suarez (R) 3B
5. Mike Moustakas (L) 2B
6. Jesse Winker (L) DH
7. Brian Goodwin (L) CF
8. Freddy Galvis (S) SS
9. Tucker Barnhart (L) C
SP Michael Lorenzen (R)


White Sox
1. Tim Anderson (R) SS
2. Nick Madrigal (R) 2B
3. Jose Abreu (R) 1B
4. Eloy Jimenez (R) LF
5. Edwin Encarnacion (R) DH
6. James McCann (R) C
7. Nomar Mazara (L) RF
8. Luis Robert (R) CF
9. Yolmer Sanchez (S) 3B
SP Dylan Cease (R)

[Coopdaddy67]

Lorenzen against that lineup scares the hell out of me.

[mth123]

Dylan Cease ERA looks OK, but his FIP is 5.81 and he gives up 1.6 HR/9 (which is better than last year's number of 1.8). The HR Reds may have a chance to do some damage against him in GABP. This is a winnable game IMO. I don't know what the betting line is, but I'd probably take the over today.

I think Lorenzen is key. Avoid walks and blasts with men on and keep it close through 5-6. Give the club opportunity to win.

The starting pitcher is always the key, so I'd agree.

Sonny Gray threw a side session yesterday, David Bell said. They'll see how he recovers today, but he's expected to start in series vs. Brewers (maybe Tuesday). #Reds

[zigbeenuthouse]

I don't know Reds % of hits with RISP for this year, or RISP with two outs, but last night proved the difference really. Couple hits to keep it close or tie and Stephenson is not used to which he gave up the game. That being said it would be HUGE to see some clutch hits today with RISP.

[Kc61]

I’d guess if Reds finish 5-2 (or better) they will get into the playoffs.

If they finish 4-3 they’ll be .500 and it could depend on tiebreakers for WC.

If they finish 3-4 or worse I’d guess they won’t make it.

They are hitting .213. They have the fewest hits in Major League Baseball. They are near bottom in runs.

It’s not just about last night, it’s an overall failure that needs to be overcome in these last seven games.

4-3 I think they make it. That is 500 and I like the chances. Today would be huge toward that with Minnesota for 3 on road to end it. Brewers with 5 at Cards may work out to help Reds too. I like seeing Brewers play Cards more so than Pirates. SPEAKING of Pirates would love to see them win today.

[Ironman92]

I don’t like the Lorenzen vs the White Sox matchup ....but baseball could play a part [emoji16]

I think we need get back to better plate approaches that looked to leave us yesterday.

I wish Votto’s days at first base were over. I am glad he’s battled with his .812 OPS

The Reds BA RISP is better than their BA.

I heard that on the game last night as well.

.224, worst in the NL, says today’s Fangraphs.

Reds with fewest hits w/ risp in MLB.

[JarrodOnVinyl]

Of course

[Ron Madden]

Two of the cheapest hits you'll see today

[zigbeenuthouse]

Lorenzen with feet to the fire on some weak hits early....need double play here.

[zigbeenuthouse]

Sweet!!!!!!!!!!

[JarrodOnVinyl]

Lorenzen’s fastball looks good today

[NebraskaRed]

Good job by the strongman!

[50YrRedsFan]

WHEW

[podgejeff_]

Cease can be very wild when things go wrong.

But his stuff is really, really good.

That patient approach the Reds like to employ might work out for them if they can stay with it.

As I type this Shogo hits into a first pitch out.

[50YrRedsFan]

Reds go down quickly

[Ron Madden]

Clean inning for Lorenzen

[kaldaniels]

I need a cigarette after every scoreless inning.

So far so good Mr. Lorenzen.

[podgejeff_]

So far the ball isn't carrying.

That Luis Robert lineout was the hardest hit ball so far at 88.4.

[Bruce Berenyi]

wow kal that is a good prescription for alveolar cell caRCINOMA

[podgejeff_]

Lol AMAZING strike call ump

[Ron Madden]

Strike 2 was a ball

[Coopdaddy67]

Nice to see were back to yesterday's strike zone for Reds hitters...

[podgejeff_]

We are owed a walk.

[Ron Madden]

Moose walks

[podgejeff_]

A close walk, not an obvious one like that.

[kaldaniels]

Time to swing away Babe Winker.

[Coopdaddy67]

Jesse isn't happy.

[NebraskaRed]

Sounded like Winker yelled for "FUDGE"

[podgejeff_]

Let this guy walk himself into trouble.

[Ron Madden]

Goodwin walks

[Playadlc]

Don’t swing early Galvis. No bailouts.

[Ron Madden]

Freddy HBP bases loaded

[podgejeff_]

I hope the armor blocked most of that.

[JarrodOnVinyl]

Cmon Tucker

[mhs95_06]

Let this guy walk himself into trouble.

Suarez did, but the ump cheated him.

[Playadlc]

Got to make him throw a strike.

[podgejeff_]

Well it brings Cease's pitch count in line with Mikey Biceps.

[Playadlc]

Unlucky.

[NebraskaRed]

More missed opportunities.

[zigbeenuthouse]

2 outs....bases loaded....nah...sit down again.

[Kc61]

First pitch grounder right into the shift.

[jup]

Really know you have become jaded when the announcer says - a chance for Barnhart here win bases loaded - and the first thought that goes through your mind is - NO chance

[podgejeff_]

4 Ks through 2.1 for Big Lor.

[Tom Servo]

Can’t bank on a team like the Sox kicking the ball around or hitting guys in that situation like the Cards and Pirates, need a hit.

[jup]

2nd time through the order for Loren, this should tell us how the day will go

[podgejeff_]

Madrigal's strike zone on the broadcast is TINY.

[malcontent]

I'm hoping Lorenzen comes through these last couple games and earns real consideration for the 2021 rotation.

[Ron Madden]

Gunned him down!

[podgejeff_]

Barnhart's cannon on display again.

[JarrodOnVinyl]

Maybe the best throw I’ve ever seen from Tucker

[zigbeenuthouse]

Barney on the peg throw....nice.

[mhs95_06]

Votto with two bad plays this inning! Throw comes from SS well to the inside and he has his foot on the outside of the bag. Still got the out, but he was on the edge of his reach when it shouldn't have been. The the runner is picked off first and Votto takes forever to get the tag on and they don't get the out that they do a bit later on the CS at 2nd.

[Patrick Bateman]

Really know you have become jaded when the announcer says - a chance for Barnhart here win bases loaded - and the first thought that goes through your mind is - NO chance

Well he’s opsing like 1300 in September. He must have some chance.

The throw over to Votto wasn't particularly good on the pickoff.

[757690]

Tucker coming into today, was the third most productive position player on the Reds this season so far, according to fWAR. He is actually tied with Casali. Together, they have made a nice catching tandom.

[Ron Madden]

Walk to Shogo

[podgejeff_]

That's the Shogo we all know and love.

[podgejeff_]

Garbage strike call that has been a ball 80% of the time.

[jup]

Well he’s opsing like 1300 in September. He must have some chance.

More of a comment about the Reds team as a whole, and their futility with RISP than Barnhart in particular. But of course he has a chance. Ever time a hitter walks to the plate there is a chance

[RedTeamGo!]

I think that says more about the reds position player group so far this year than Tucker.

That’s 0.6 fWAR, which is fine, but whoopdy do.

In 50 games sharing catching duties it’s very fine for what is generally considered one of our weakest positions s.

Suarez due to mash one here.

That’s 1.2 fWAR from the catchers. Which translate to nearly 4 fWAR over a full 162 game season. Not too shabby.

[NebraskaRed]

Suarez might as well be wearing a blindfold.

[Playadlc]

Suarez just up there flailing.

[podgejeff_]

Agreed.

The Reds have the 6th most catching fWAR in the majors.

I think people forget the general black hole of suck catching is around baseball. Catchers are hard to find.

[NebraskaRed]

4 walks and 1 HBP in 3 innings and the Reds have nothing to show for it, so far.

[JarrodOnVinyl]

Suarez needs to be moved in the order. I’m tired of him striking out with RISP

[Playadlc]

GD shift.

[Kc61]

Reds have four outcomes.

1. K
2. BB
3. HR
4. Hit it right into the shift.

[mhs95_06]

This is another Sox pitcher that they'll take out and turn over the game to the bullpen if they get into the lead in the 4th or 5th, like last night!

[Reds Freak]

GD shift.

Sox announcers all over Moustakas for not running that out. I didn't see it but they were perplexed at how he could be jogging down line in a 0-0 game with men on base in a playoff race.

[TexasRedsFan]

Suarez needs to be moved in the order. I’m tired of him striking out with RISP

I feel the same way about Castellanos. Way too many strikeouts to be in the 2 spot. Problem is the Reds don't have many better options for those spots.

[Ron Madden]

6 K's for Lorenzen

[757690]

Anyone have any explanation for why Lorenzen is pitching so much better now as a starter than he was a reliever?

[podgejeff_]

Perhaps the preparation you have to do as a starter really benefits somebody like Lorenzen.

He seems to be a pretty into the idea of structure.

[zigbeenuthouse]

Great job for Lorenzen...7 Ks....he may be rounding into a better starter than out of the pen.

[NebraskaRed]

The strongman strikes out the side.

[Ron Madden]

7 K's as Mike fans the side

[Tom Servo]

This Lorenzen getting starts thing is truly wild, it has had absolutely NO business working out as well as it has so far.

[50YrRedsFan]

Great job for Lorenzen...7 Ks....he may be rounding into a better starter than out of the pen.

Lorenzen looking good....the question is: Will the Reds get a hit?

[zigbeenuthouse]

One thing Lorenzen is not doing is walking a lot of hitters.

[Patrick Bateman]

Ya I don’t understand it but he has been legit awesome today. I think way more impressive than last game. Didn’t see it coming.

[TexasRedsFan]

Gotta admit Lorenzen has done far better in these two starts than I imagined he would. I could see management now thinking about him in the rotation next year to replace one of the guys they'll lose.

[Ron Madden]

A Walk to Da Wink

[TexasRedsFan]

One thing Lorenzen is not doing is walking a lot of hitters.

Good point. Often that has been part of his undoing out of the bullpen.

The advantage of being a starter is you know ahead of time which batters you'll be facing and can mentally prepare.

[TexasRedsFan]

Reds have got to break through on one of these gifts they keep getting.

[Ron Madden]

Goodwin walks

[zigbeenuthouse]

Lot of times Lorenzen came in from pen with runners on, over threw and walked a hitter and then came in with a pitch in the zone...BAM...

[podgejeff_]

Dear Reds hitters,

LET HIM WALK YOU. HE WANTS TO.

[Ron Madden]

C'mon Freddy Hammer One!

[bing]

Id be up.for a bunt right here....

[Alabama Red]

I don’t blame Goodwin for getting throw out. Guy can’t throw a strike and the umpire starts bailing him out.

[Redsfan6272]

I honestly thought Senzel would pinch hit right there. But looks like Goodwin just got tossed

[Tom Servo]

Well that was nice. Still a long way to go in this one though especially with the Sox offensive capabilities.

Looooong way to go with the Sox offense. Lorenzen will be pitching the 5th inning on about 3 days rest.

Apparently we've found the formula for beating high velocity, high power, defensive shift baseball.

Just play 1900s small ball and throw shutout pitching.

We're gonna revolutionize the game folks.

[BCubb2003]

Lorenzen might just be one of those guys that is better when he can take his foot off the gas a little bit.

Good thing about keeping him a starter is he's out early if it's a bad day and not coming in late with game on the line.

[Tom Servo]

It would be very funny if, after a few years of insisting he could still start and everyone rolling their eyes at it, Lorenzen actually did turn in to a serviceable backend starter.

The White Sox have walked 10 batters through 4 innings against the Reds so far this afternoon.

That's the most walks by a team through the 1st 4 innings of a game since the Expos walked 10 Phillies through 4 innings on June 2, 2002.

[Redsfan6272]

Should have had action starting at the beginning of the inning knowing that was a long inning for Lorenzen sitting

Really!!!

You have to ask

It wasn't close to him. It was in front of the runner.

Miguel Cabrera I think

[Coopdaddy67]

Oh, Cabrera is the 4th. Duh!

[Redsfan6272]

Whew

[zigbeenuthouse]

This game may define the Reds bullpen and how good Bell can manage those arms.

[mhs95_06]

Madrigal gets an RBI and keeps the inning going with 2 strikes on a good slider a foot low and a foot outside! Sims did a great job, even if his 2 inherited runners scored.

[Coopdaddy67]

Miguel Cabrera I think

As soon as I saw the Tigers on the ticker, I realized it.

He's probably got the most RBIs of all of them.

[Ron Madden]

I don't believe any one game ever really defines anything

[HammerTime]

Hell of a job these last two starts from Lorenzen. They really needed it.

[mth123]

Miguel Cabrera I think

Forgot about him.

[Ron Madden]

Base hit for Freddy

[podgejeff_]

Galvis lines one to left.

For some reason Detwiler is still in the game.

I guess ultimately the Chisox don't care, they're going to the playoffs.
