Personally, I would have sat Cast the rest of the day game and played him in the 2nd game. Call me crazy.

Assuming Cast is just being given a few innings breather and will be double switched into the game at some point. At least I hope so because 5-9 of that lineup = :scared:

Over the past few years, they’ve brought in solid major leaguers to try to win, but we still seem to be in the Farmer, Blandino, Payton era.

Gray with 47 pitches thru 3, so a 7 inning outing to finish the game is still a possibility.

If Gray continues to pitch like this he will be worth a great deal at the deadline.

Not saying they should necessarily trade him, but he’ll have serious value.

Pretty affordable if you ask me. Why would you not want to keep him to tutor Lodolo and Greene, Antone? You know what you have.

Given its a day game on a get away day where they finished one game and played another 7 inning one that is going to end around 9:30ish...a rainout would be awesome.

Most Managers, Players, and Coaches really like the 7 inning games because they were used to always playing 7 inning double headers in the minor leagues.

They won behind Gray and Mahle and lost when Hoffman started. They don't hit much against anybody, so it's the Reds pitching that makes or breaks them.
