Glad to see Wink and Cast moved down a spot. Ultimately it will be Shogo or Senzel at leadoff.

Leadoff hitter Nick Senzel with a base hit to leadoff the game. Reds have the potential to score infinity runs.

Wow I didn't know how far behind you I am. Senzel singled close to a minute later on my end. I have to stream on the Bally APP. Thanks to a friend or otherwise I don't get the games. The Foxsportsgo app wasn't that far behind. Bally stinks.

yeah, he got lucky to even steal second. he's already in scoring position with votto coming up. just so stupid on his part. can't do that against a HOF pitcher like kershaw. only gonna get so many scoring chances.

Senzel got a little greedy there for sure but nice to see him get a hit. Dude needs to learn how to slide. That slide into second was scary.

If he has a green light to try to steal third anytime he wants they need to reconsider.

Barnes is a much better throwing catcher than Smith.

mhs95_06

Winker a bad choice to go oppo with Senzel on 2nd as the same fly to Cf or RF gets Senzel to 3rd.

KeefeCato
04-28-2021, 04:21 PM
Stop trying to steal bases, it's not 1984 anymore.

Even if he had been safe a steal attempt there was dumb. But I disagree about not trying to steal bases. If you have a fast runner combined with a slow to the plate pitcher and bad throwing catcher. You should try to steal.

They only way guys steal third without it being called is if they are told they can do it if they think they can make it. They need to do away with that.

easy inning for Kershaw

JFLegal
04-28-2021, 04:33 PM
another stupid part of senzel trying to steal third is it's kept kershaw's pitch count down. only 22 pitches through 2 innings. need to get to the dodgers' pen. it's their weakness. but at this point, looks like kershaw will go very deep in this game. reds never have a good strategy in that regard (trying to rack up pitch counts).

WildcatFan
04-28-2021, 04:34 PM
that's not how tony perez pronounces it.


Near the end of Pérez’s career in the 1980s, he requested that his name be pronounced PAY-rez, closer to the Spanish way, instead of peh-REZ, which English speakers tend to say. Although Rose was not broadcasting Mets games yet, he heard about Pérez’s change and it forever changed his pronunciations of other Perezes.

Not surprised his luck has been better today.

A gift from Angel at 3rd may spark the inning!

But neither Winker nor Castellanos could handle the breaking balls! Castellanos expected, but Winker was not.

love using a bum like sal romano in a 2-run game in the 8th. you might as well waive the white flag and take your team off the field. romano should not even be on an MLB roster. and he should sure as hell not be pitching in a 2-run game in the 8th.

Actually, Bottom of the 8th, down 2 runs the Reds "Win expecatancy " was just under 6 percent.
It makes sense to use a mop up guy and save Sims for the next game.

On a play that is not reviewed, can the agent of a player that may be wronged, but not contested during the game, appeal to get a statistical concession to help in contract negotiations?

Also now with games that are scheduled to run only 7 innings, and the pitcher throws a no hitter, shouldn't there be some kind of recognition stat for that, and negotiating purposes?

I thought that was Ray out there! LOL

Yet the other day when he came in he pitched well. Last week we watched Doolittle melt down, then look solid in the outing the other day. So what can we conclude from this? Not a damn thing! I mean you had to turn to a utlity Infer in Blandino to get the last out of the inning, which he did! Versus Justin Turner too (who homered vs Gray earlier). If they can just figure out a way to cross-bred an MVP with a CY Young winner - a guy who can hit, play the field, and close the game with a solid ERA under 2 - then they're on to something.
