Why not wait to sit him against a lefty? The only positive about this horrendous season is Bell will be gone. This is one of the worst managers I have ever seen.

Well a lot have been asking for Shogo. You got him.

But not the Pumpkin. The Pumpkin should be sitting, he needs a scheduled day off, not Wink.

And Shogo should be batting 1st - Max Schrock shouldn't be batting 5th. Even if they win today, I am not a fan of this lineup.

i was no fan of signing Naquin, though it was low risk, but he's won me over and i don't get some of the jabs at him really. If Senzel were playing and producing like Naquin these same people would ecstatic. Also i won't ***** and moan about this lineup other than to say Stephenson should get some pitches to hit today with the threat of Schrock behind him. At least it's not Blandino.

I'm with you. Naquin's signing was the best dumpster dive move of any team this year. He's not an issue, especially considering our horrible lack of stability in CF.

The other thing that puzzles me with all of this is that they didn't want Jim Day doing play-by-play, which is fine but they just basically hired Jim Day part 2 with Sadak. He's Jim Day's personality with a better voice, I guess.

10 mil is not a bad deal for Miley on a contending team. The Reds have guys who should be up next season on the cheap to replace Miley. I think they know they won't be contending anytime soon. So if they believe that then no way should they give Miley 10 mil.
That is not a knock on Miley at all. And tell me entering this season would you have questioned how much Castillo made?

Miley is a pitcher in a game full of throwers. May the tribe of pitchers increase.

I would much rather watch him than a guy throwing a 100 with no idea where the ball is going or how to pitch. The great ones throw hard and no how to pitch.

10 mil is not a bad deal for Miley on a contending team. The Reds have guys who should be up next season on the cheap to replace Miley. I think they know they won't be contending anytime soon. So if they believe that then no way should they give Miley 10 mil.
That is not a knock on Miley at all. And tell me entering this season would you have questioned how much Castillo made?

At the start of the season no, but Castillo could be making league minimum and he’s not earning his check.

Maybe that 10M could be better spent elsewhere, and I support it if it could be used to extend Winker.

Reds are gonna play better in June. They have a paper-thin roster, a bad bullpen, and are poorly managed - but there's no way they're as bad as they .370 or whatever winning% they have since the hot start. They have two MVP candidates in the lineup, 3 above-average SP (Gray, Mahle, Miley) and one of the best relievers in the game. They can't possibly maintain a 95-loss pace.

Should be better if they get healthy. Problem is with so many injures in baseball. Wouldn't surprise me when Moose and Votto get back ,,someone else will likely be headed to the IL. Hopefully no key player.

Unfortunately Reds have a pretty tough schedule in June. They have six with the Padres late in the month.

But they will have the opportunity to do some business in the division. Number of games with Cards and Brewers. If they can actually win some of those series, it would be productive.

Suarez has made progress in the power department and some of his swings look better.

But he’s still an out machine.

I guess the next step is to see if he advances with a fuller, healthy lineup around him. Not sure why, he’s already hitting in front of top guys, but anything’s possible.

Turned into Chris Davis. Hope for 35-40 HRs and maybe hit a little above .200. That is about the best they can hope for this year. He needs to rework his swing in the offseason and forget about 50 HRs. I doubt it happens though.

Bally Sports Ohio just did a "tomorrow's probables" graphic featuring Aaron Nola and Sonny Gray. For Gray's season stats, they listed a 5-4 record, a 4.37 ERA, 38 Ks and 16 walks - which as far as I can tell, are stats they literally made up. None of them are accurate - and what's more - they don't match any other Reds players' stats either. Sounds like the stats guy called in sick and they asked Intern Ricky to make up some numbers for the folks at home to look at. Keep working on the Emmy, fellas. Nice work!

Yeah, I mean, Suarez shouldn’t need to hit leadoff to make the adjustments. If they tell him to cut down his swing, or keep his head in, or hit to right, he can do that from any spot.

But I have no objection to leading him off, maybe it helps him, it’s just not a real answer. The problem isn’t his batting order spot.

Tink has taken the cake as the #1 worst manager in team's history. He has put the worst hitter in MLB in a position where he gets the most at bats on the team and continues to pencil him in admitting "he is going to get hot soon". I can accept injuries limit his options, but not at lead off.
