The Indians lineup has been added to the original post

[Shondell 07]

Gotta hope that Beiber has a rare bad outing or we can scrap and claw and keep it close when they pull him and win it late again. Hoping for the Brooms today!!!

[Wonderful Monds]

Just gonna repeat what I said yesterday about being sick of Bell starting Naquin over Senzel. There’s absolutely zero reason those players should be platooned at all. I know Senzel’s been on a cold streak, but so has Naquin himself. It’s also completely inexplicable that he pinch hit both Schrock and Payton before putting Nick into the game last night.

But whatever, this is the same genius who nearly coughed up yesterday’s game with the brilliant move of letting Gray hit with RISP only to yank him a batter later the next inning.

[JFLegal]

it's why i feel yesterday's win was so huge. now even if one of the best pitchers in all of baseball gets the reds today -- i mean it will still stink -- but either way we're gonna win this series. and who knows, like you said, maybe this reds offense can get to bieber, or maybe he'll just have an off day. house money at this point and getting the sweep would be sweet.

[JaxRed]

I agree with Naquin today and Schrock today. I just wish Moose was ready at 3b.

[NebraskaRed]

Day 3 of Moose's non-Covid related illness that will keep him out for 1 day at most.

[JFLegal]

Day 3 of Moose's non-Covid related illness that will keep him out for 1 day at most.

hopefully he's at least available to pinch hit/come in as a replacement.

[UPRedsFan]

did they say Moose has a non-covid illness? Farmer will be toast against Bieber

[Ron Madden]

@CharlieG__
David Bell says Mike Moustakas’ illness is “lingering a little longer than we thought."
It’s not COVID related.

[Wonderful Monds]

Gotta say, given the fact that the flu was basically non existent this year due to covid safety precautions, it’s super weird that the Reds have already been hit with some kind of non covid illness that has kept 2 of their players out for a few days time or longer.

[WildcatFan]

Cleveland owns the Reds in the same way I own Bitcoin.

1) I don’t
2) It’s all made up anyway

Side effects of the 2nd vaccine shot?

If it's not that, it's very weird.

[Wonderful Monds]

If it's not that, it's very weird.

I could see that maybe, although Winker missed a whole week and Moose is on his 3rd day, and from what I feel like I’ve observed at least anecdotally speaking having the worst side effects lasting more than a day or two seems like it’s fairly rare.
Who knows though.

Yes, very spot on true. Reds if losing yesterday stood big chance of losing this series. That win was huge.

Today Reds need Miley to keep it close and have chance to win late in game and hopefully before there are 2 outs in the 9th and no one on.

The Saturday come back triple play grounder through the legs 2 out extra inning blast by Stephenson to win in 10th is what makes up a season to remember and one where you need those type of wins to accumulate around 90 wins and playoff berth. Excellent win.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't the side effects kind of an average?

My wife had the full-on misery for three days, felt a little better the fourth day, and fine by the fifth day (but with a headache that lasted for three weeks). Others we've talked to have had lingering flu-like symptoms for as long as a week. (Though to be fair, both of those people are hyperbolic in their illness issues.)

[Bourgeois Zee]

I'm hoping for a pitcher's duel that the Reds can pull out after Bieber is out of the game.

Or a blowout wherein every Red player hits at least one homerun.

And Votto hits five.

Because that'd be cool.

[KeefeCato]

I agree with Naquin today and Schrock today. I just wish Moose was ready at 3b.

I am with you. No problem with Naquin today. Just thought Senzel should have played yesterday. I called the Schrock start today yesterday.

[Tom Servo]

Ace vs Ace today!

[Red Raindog]

yes -- our hospital (I am a board member) normally has many many in patient flu cases -- as of a few weeks ago we have had 3 this winter......

[Larkin Fan]

Bieber-Miley sounds more like a bad concert than an awesome pitching matchup.

[Wonderful Monds]

Sadak really does love these awful batting practice jerseys. Weirdo.

[Stray]

Love how fast Miley works

[The Operator]

1-0 Tribe on a Jose Ramirez blast

[Wonderful Monds]

Well that’s not ideal

[Tom Servo]

Probably should have just thrown that one several feet outside too. Live and learn.

It's really not uncommon for symptoms from the vaccine to last up to a week to some degree.

However, Winker missed time with a stomach virus. I suspect Moose is dealing with a similar issue.

[JaxRed]

I hope the game plan is not to swing early. I hope the plan is to see a lot of pitches and get him out of there.

[Larkin Fan]

Joey is looking good.

[The Operator]

Votto aboard with a 2 out single

- - - Updated - - -

8 pitches in the first inning.

[Wonderful Monds]

Geno’s average continues to free fall

[ochoa30]

Suarez just does not look like the guy he was a few years ago. Bat speed isn’t there. Hope he can figure it out.

[NebraskaRed]

I'm not much for tinkering with lineups but Geno should not be hitting 4th. That seems obvious to everyone except Bell.

[JaxRed]

Wow... we might be looking at a complete game by Beiber if Reds swing at every first pitch

[Old school 1983]

Suarez just does not look like the guy he was a few years ago. Bat speed isn’t there. Hope he can figure it out.

He literally looks like he’s swinging for a home run every time.

[The Operator]

He literally looks like he’s swinging for a home run every time.

Was a big worry of mine when he came out in Spring Training and said “I’m gonna hit 50 home runs”.

I wish he’d focus on hitting singles, the homers will come.

[The Operator]

Homer aside, Miley looking good so far.

But man, that 1 run feels pretty big against a guy like Bieber. Hopefully this post will age poorly.

[Old school 1983]

Especially in GABP. Hopefully he snaps out of it soon.

[SomeCallMeTim]

If Cueto can stymie this team, I just don’t see a Bieber having issues.

Makes yesterday win so important.

Miley I think will do his part. A pleasant surprise so far.

[JaxRed]

At least Naquin is seeing some pitches

[NebraskaRed]

If Cueto can stymie this team, I just don’t see a Bieber having issues.

Miley I think will do his part. A pleasant surprise so far.

Cueto was off to a good start this season. Obviously, he hasn't been great the past few seasons, but he's not some schlub.

[The Operator]

Bieber is just another example of how impressive of an operation The Indians have with regard to pitching.


Fourth round pick and he becomes a Cy Young winner. And he’s far from the only example of guys they either drafted in the later rounds or acquired in trades as minor leaguers who wound up being excellent starting pitchers.


Hopefully The Reds are starting to make a name for themselves in that regard too. A guy like Tejay Antone still has a lot to prove but he’s looking pretty good and was a 5th round pick.

[Tom Servo]

nice AB by Naquin

[NebraskaRed]

Excellent AB

[membengal]

Nice AB from Naquin. I saw complaining about him over Senzel earlier in the thread, but...lefty against Bieber is not a bad thought.

[The Operator]

Naquin a leadoff walk!

Beat plate appearance of the day so far...

I wanted to trade Scooter Gennett for Double A Bieber and some people got mad at me for that idea. :dunno:

[Wonderful Monds]

Hitting 49 homers a couple years ago might’ve been the worst thing that could happen to Geno

I do hate those last minute time calls.


I still blame Cueto’s injury in 2012 on that.

Bieber has shown a couple of examples today that he can get a little flustered. Maybe step out on him a bit more?

Four pitch walk to Barnhart


Come on Farmer, hit one over the mountains...

[Coopdaddy67]

Green lighting Tucker Barnhart on 3-0 made me choke on my water.

[757690]

Bieber scared of Tucker

[membengal]

Much better inning no matter the outcome - getting his pitch count up early given Bieber had 113 in his last outing is important.

[The Operator]

Bieber missing all over the place

[Tony Cloninger]

I checked Naquin history with CLE and expected Reggie Taylor numbers. Then I see his 2 seasons with his most AB. 2016 321 AB. 296/372/514 with 14 HR. 2019 with 274 AB 10 HR. 288/325/467. This isn’t some bad hitter that’s getting playing time. Senzel may be the better prospect but he’s not doing much better then Naquin. Long term Senzel has to play when healthy.

[Wonderful Monds]

Bieber quakes in fear in the face of the mighty Kyle Farmer

[JaxRed]

Senzel's career numbers are much worse than Naquin.

[The Operator]

Well damn. Three straight strikes after the conference in the mound.

2 outs

[Wonderful Monds]

Pinch hit for Miley here


jk




unless.....

[Tom Servo]

I think he can play good defense and is alright as a pinch hitter but I really don't need many days of Farmer getting 3-4 ABs, especially in consecutive days.

[JaxRed]

Well damn. Three straight strikes after the conference in the mound.

2 outs

I think only 1 was in the strikezone.

[The Operator]

Well, at least they made him throw a bunch of pitches and they’ll turn the lineup over I guess.

[Wonderful Monds]

Senzel's career numbers are much worse than Naquin.

Senzel has also played less than a full season’s worth of games and Naquin has been a backup outfielder for 6 years for a reason.

[NebraskaRed]

Miley's swing was like a wrecking ball.

[Mitri]

I think he can play good defense and is alright as a pinch hitter but I really don't need many days of Farmer getting 3-4 ABs, especially in consecutive days.

It's a good reminder of why they moved Suarez to SS, at least.

[The Operator]

Agh Winker turns a single into two bases to start the 3rd

[Wonderful Monds]

Live by pitch to contact, die by pitch to contact

[Wonderful Monds]

Agh Winker turns a single into two bases to start the 3rd

Wink should decide to be an gold glove outfielder too

[KeefeCato]

Suarez getting a workout today.

[JaxRed]

Wow that was a low strike

[The Operator]

Miley gets a bad strike call, I’ll take it


2 down!

[Mitri]

Cy Miley

[Tom Servo]

Leadoff two base play is no problem for Ace Miley

[The Operator]

Nice recovery! 4 K’s for Miley


Now get back to work on Bieber

[membengal]

Wade Miley channeling vintage Tom Browning is a good sign for this team.

[ochoa30]

Wow, nice job Miley!

[Larry Schuler]

I’ve never doubted Miley. Not last year. Not for a second.

[NebraskaRed]

Miley trying to get that ERA back down to a respectable .50

[Wonderful Monds]

Who needs Trevor Bauer when you have Wade Miley

[Wonderful Monds]

Learned from these commercials the last couple days that Benadryl was invented at UC

[NebraskaRed]

Jessie 1-pitch

[Wonderful Monds]

Why are we playing the DBacks twice before the Cubs or Brewers once


Did I miss some division change insanity

[RedTeamGo!]

Can’t wait until Cleveland trades Bieber for 5 18 year old prospects not on any top 100 list.

Hopefully Wade doesn’t mess around with drones...

The "Winker will never hit for power" narrative was very strong around these parts.

[The Operator]

Geno nowhere close

[Tom Servo]

Man remember when you had confidence when Suarez came to the plate

[WildcatFan]

I guess Geno just doesn’t get fastballs anymore. Time to adjust.

[The Operator]

Think this might still be the shoulder injury? He’s just like a whole different player.

[Wonderful Monds]

Geno desperately needs to sit when Moose gets healthy

[Wonderful Monds]

Think this might still be the shoulder injury? He’s just like a whole different player.

Maybe the bat speed, but he’s also swinging at complete junk way too much to be an effective hitter and that would seem to be all mental

[NebraskaRed]

Votto with his third multi-hit game in a row. His OPS has skyrocketed.

[KeefeCato]

Geno desperately needs to sit when Moose gets healthy

Who plays SS? I sure don't wanna see Farmer everyday.

[mhs95_06]

Geno nowhere close

Perfect place to take that 2 out, 2 strike outside corner pitch and plink it to RF to tie the game.

[JaxRed]

So if Geno sits for a couple days who would you put at SS? My gut reaction might be Schrock.

[KeefeCato]

Bieber touches the bill of his hat every time a new ball is put in play.

[Wonderful Monds]

Who plays SS? I sure don't wanna see Farmer everyday.

I’m talking for just a game fwiw

[JaxRed]

Bieber touches the bill of his hat every time a new ball is put in play.

I'll watch for that.

[Wonderful Monds]

All kind of face mask weirdness this weekend

[WildcatFan]

Who plays SS? I sure don't wanna see Farmer everyday.

Somebody should start an ORG thread about this.

[The Operator]

These umps need to stop granting all these last second time outs

[RedTeamGo!]

When Suarez stated he wants to hit 50 home runs this year I knew it was going to be ugly.

Worst part is his value is plummeting.

[mhs95_06]

Maybe the bat speed, but he’s also swinging at complete junk way too much to be an effective hitter and that would seem to be all mental

I agree with mental, a year and a half to build up 50 HRs in his mind.

[mhs95_06]

Bieber touches the bill of his hat every time a new ball is put in play.

Didn't the ump have the catcher toss a ball that was caught by the catcher on a swing and miss in the strike zone off to the side. Foreign subbstance testing protocol?

[Larkin Fan]

Ouch.

[BluegrassRedleg]

That’ll do it for today.

Welp, had a bad feeling after the last play too. Bummer.

[Wonderful Monds]

Oh no

[WildcatFan]

Ugh the Reds never beat Cleveland.

[TexasRedsFan]

Well, that inning went off the rails in a hurry.

[JFLegal]

figured reds would likely lose this one. oh well. winning the series was huge. and this game still isn't over. wish they would work bieber like they did in the 2nd inning so eventually their gassed bullpen has to come in. too much hacking at the first pitch (other than the second inning).

[Tom Servo]

Yeah it's probably over. That's why winning yesterday was so big.

[Shatz1988]

I'm not sure sitting Suarez is going to help. We have a decent sample size of him being a big liability at the plate.

[The Operator]

I didn’t really get to watch the last two games so I’m hanging around hoping for another miracle win today.

[JFLegal]

Yeah it's probably over. That's why winning yesterday was so big.

this is correct. and what a great way to win. triple play to keep them in it. then a crazy error to keep them in it. and then winker and stephenson step up and win the game.

today was house money. and game is still not over! (ok, it probably is lol)

[ochoa30]

Maybe Bieber will pull a Luis Castillo

[Mitri]

Man you guys sure are fun to watch a game with

[The Operator]

The guys just need to be patient. Going up there hacking is just playing into his hand.

He might not be a Mat Latos or Carlos Zambrano, but Bieber can clearly get flustered out there when things don’t go his way.

[KeefeCato]

If they pull this one out it is going to be a special season.

[NebraskaRed]

You're all giving up on this game and you're going to be sorry when you miss seeing the two grand slams that Miley will hit.

[JFLegal]

EDIT: actually error on ramirez, which is a good call.

[The Operator]

Hey! A base runner!

E5? Come on give Shrocky the hit.

Schrock is unstoppable when it comes to hitting a ball under someone's glove.

Something on Biebers hat bill clearly visible. I doubt it is just dirt.

It's a shame that, according to Ohio Cup rules, a win today by the Indians will change the results from yesterday and Friday from losses to wins for Cleveland.

It is what it is.

Man I just cannot get used to these awful graphic advertisements on the mound.

I’m shocked the usual suspects of Reds suck again and always suck and their off season sucked mob is not flashing more today. Miley is terrible. See I told you. It just took longer for him to suck this year.

Hard to have faith in a comeback when you have so many black holes after the 1-3 spots in the lineup.

Probably because the Reds already won the series, they'll likely be back on Tuesday though.

cut the lead in half and now there's a really good chance the native american's bullpen will have to try and close this one out for them eventually. let's go.

Bell probably insets Senzel here and takes Naquin out. Romano will go into Naquin's spot. Double switch baby.

I don’t know why anybody would throw him anything else to be honest.

[Wonderful Monds]

Salmon Romano keeps the Indians in check

[JaxRed]

Romano ERA now is 3.86 !

[Old school 1983]

If they want to move guys...Senzel to INF. India to SS. Suarez to bench. Naquin and Shogo to CF.

[KeefeCato]

Now get Romano out of there. Off day tomorrow let Antone pitch at least a inning or two.

[mhs95_06]

Seriously why is Sal pitching right now? Should be a 4-run spread for him to get in.

It was 4 runs when the decision was made on who to warm up to come in next!

Votto is the first batter to collect 3 or more hits in a game off Shane Bieber since both Jose Abreu (3) and Tim Anderson (3) did it on 9/25/19 in the White Sox' 8-3 win at Guaranteed Rate Field.

[The Operator]

A strikeout but gets the base! I’ll take it

[membengal]

savvy from Schrock, lol.

[NebraskaRed]

Schrock is a genius at getting on base due to errors or freak circumstances.

[Wonderful Monds]

Nice strategic strikeout by Naquin there

[UPRedsFan]

Hell keep getting them until he hits the ball to RF too.

Suarez lined out twice yesterday to the right fielder

[JFLegal]

way to get them off the hook, tucker. that was awful.

[membengal]

Ah well, nevertheless.

India to SS crossed my mind too. We've already said we would go with competent at SS to get the bat into the lineup. Now Suarez doesn't have the bat

[The Operator]

And Tucker with a first pitch GIDP


Ugh

[Wonderful Monds]

booooooo

[Tom Servo]

Ah well, nevertheless.
We didn't deserve it anyway.

[mhs95_06]

Am I just noticing it more or has the camerawork been especially bad so far this season?

I think its all those new camera people that work for Bally!

[The Operator]

Man, Bieber with a super low pitch count despite the base runners.


Reds have been super swing happy today.

[NebraskaRed]

Tucker knew that a Sal Romano grand slam was in the works and he decided to thwart it.

[JFLegal]

get a lucky baserunner. chance to rack up some pitches on bieber and perhaps chase him.

barnhart: swings at first pitch and grounds into DP.

oh well, that's baseball i guess.

lol, prolly not far off from the truth.

[mhs95_06]

Suarez lined out twice yesterday to the right fielder

That's the painful thing -- they get caught so he goes back to strict pull.

[JFLegal]

leaving salvoski in there.

nice work sal

[The Operator]

Generous strike 1 call lol

Nice play Sal!

[NC-Red]

why did we roll out such a garbage lineup vs their best pitcher??

Lol

[JFLegal]

jesus

i guess it's the native americans' turn for luck.

[The Operator]

Oh for the love lol

[JFLegal]

why is romano still in in a high-lev situation?

[mhs95_06]

Another E for Winker to give 2nd base. At least their just errors that give a base, rather than those that give a free runner.

[The Operator]

Must have been a cross up

[JFLegal]

team has a day off tomorrow, i don't get having the worst pitcher on the staff in the game here.

reverse psychology! lol. strikeout for sally.

[Tom Servo]

A rare Romano strikeout in 2021.
