[NatiRedGals]

That's something we should trade shogo at this point

[NebraskaRed]

That's one heck of a right-handed lineup

[Ron Madden]

That's one heck of a right-handed lineup

Yep, facing Kim who is a LHP

[AG Slater]

Castellano's is on some kind of ass kicking streak. Crazy yes batting in the .360's. Either the Reds re-sign him or better get a major haul if traded. His value right now is peak AMC stock

[JaxRed]

That's something we should trade shogo at this point

Shogo is hitting .189. Who's looking for that?

[SomeCallMeTim]

That's one heck of a right-handed lineup

For something so right, why does it look so terribly wrong?

I know the rules say you have to play 9, but…

[NatiRedGals]

Shogo is hitting .189. Who's looking for that?

Maybe give him some at bats that would change? He didn't even have a spring or a rehab assignment he just lost his spot for no reason

- - - Updated - - -

You guys give bell a lot of excuses

[Strikes Out Looking]

Bell has devalued Shogo's value - some other team probably would look at his late 2020 performance and be able to use him effectively. Bell would have probably managed the great 8 to a .500 record. Can't you see him giving Pete a day off and saying its because it was previously scheduled?

[Ron Madden]

The Cardinals lineup has been added to the original post

[RedTeamGo!]

Ha, I made a solid chunk of money off AMC this week, hopefully the reds sell Cast at the right time.

[Tom Servo]

I get why Shogo isn’t seeing the field much with Winker-Naquin-Castellanos all doing very well. I don’t really get how Bell hasn’t managed to get him involved beyond the occasional pinch hitting opportunity and it seems obvious he really should be getting regular ABs in Louisville until they need him.

Exactly. Instead, they've chosen to do nothing with him. Play him, try to trade him (I guess), or send him to Louisville. Any of those three options are better than the nothing that he's doing now.

[Kc61]

Shogo was never going to start against the lefty.

Go Stanford Cardinal baseball

[JaxRed]

AAA is the answer. No manager in their right mind would sit Naquin for Shogo now, and no team wants to trade for a guy hitting .189 with zero power. Give him regular at bats and see if Stella gets her groove back.

[NebraskaRed]

Kim had been pretty good until his last two starts. He was especially bad in his last start against the D-backs.

[mth123]

Bell has devalued Shogo's value - some other team probably would look at his late 2020 performance and be able to use him effectively. Bell would have probably managed the great 8 to a .500 record. Can't you see him giving Pete a day off and saying its because it was previously scheduled?

So who sits for Shogo? Winker, Casteallanos or Naquin? The team's three best hitters who basically carry the offense. Maybe Shogo could play SS. Actually being a SS doesn't seem to be one of the qualifications for the job.

[TexasRedsFan]

Again with the pitcher hitting 8th. Just don't understand it. Especially from a manager who subs multiple players every game so he can continue to push that spot back. Why handicap yourself right away ​by having the spot come up sooner?

Last night was a great win. Would be nice to get on a roll from it. Reds still haven't won more than two in a row since they were 6-1.

[KeefeCato]

I don’t really get how Bell hasn’t managed to get him involved beyond the occasional pinch hitting opportunity and it seems obvious he really should be getting regular ABs in Louisville until they need him.

I agree. I think the reason he isn't in Louisville is because of no Votto, Moose and to an extent Aquino and Senzel. Pickings are slim in Louisville and I guess they would rather have Shogo pinch hitting vs. a Louisville scrub. Maybe if 2-3 of these guys get back we will see Shogo in Louisville for 2-3 week period so he can play regular.
I still think he can be a solid bench player for this team. But you can't sit one of the OFers now for him. Other than Naquin maybe once a week.

[traderumor]

I think we have met the roster limit of Louisville scrubs

[wally post]

At first glance of the lineup I thought, Blandino is pitching?!

[757690]

At first glance of the lineup I thought, Blandino is pitching?!

If Castillo continues with the same performance he’s given in every other appearance this year, we may have wished Blandino was pitching.

[Moose Herd]

If Castillo continues with the same performance he’s given in every other appearance this year, we may have wished Blandino was pitching.

This is just flat out incorrect. Castillo was really good good in his second start.


So he’s just been bad 10 out of 11 starts.

[GADawg]

Go Stanford Cardinal baseball

outside of a totally awesome anthem standoff and a few team first sacrificial innings pitched i'm not sure why you guys get so excited

[klw]

Other option would be to have Castellanos as 1st while Votto is out and have Shogo in the OF. It would mean having Shogo instead of an infield scrub. At this point, however, he needs to go to AAA and get at bats

[NebraskaRed]

Apparently, the narrative on Kim according to Cards fans is that he gets rattled easily and can't pitch deep into a game.

It is so the red hot rbi machine, Suarez, can drive him in

i missed most of the game thread last night but wanted to mention i really enjoyed Welsh being back in the booth

Guys?

[NebraskaRed]

Good first inning for Castillo despite Geno's error.

[Tom Servo]

India! :jump:

[Moose Herd]

Two homers this inning by TySteve and India. 3-0.

[KoryMac5]

He's been hot the last 7 days...seems to be making some nice adjustments at the plate. Sometimes you have to let the kids figure it out.

[NCReds]

A little humbling to see the bottom half of this lineup produce some runs. Rather than 80% coming from Winker/castellanos

[klw]

India! :jump:

All the way from Louisville we hear RJ Alaniz sing "Thank you India"

[Bob Sheed]

Castillo hitting 97-99 on his FB, that's a good sign.

[NebraskaRed]

1 walk but nothing else for the Cardinals thru 2.

[traderumor]

Looks like it was more dead cat bounce than Bell genius with Suarez leading off.

[NebraskaRed]

Kim seems determined to come as close to hitting Winker without ever hitting him.

[Bob Sheed]

Looks like it was more dead cat bounce than Bell genius with Suarez leading off.

I just hope when Votto comes back it won't take a month "to warm the Ferrari up" or whatever the excuse was.

Castillo getting ahead of hitters.

I’m gonna Cliff Claven you and say that Sparky sat down a lot of other players in 75-76 but then again Bell has the motivation skills of Don Hefner or Vern Rapp.

[Boston Red]

That's not good.

[Boston Red]

Couple of drinks on board Friday night take with an early lead in St. Loo: the Reds are going to get hot right now, and they're going to end up winning the Central.

[DocRed]

Kim is annoying as f*** walking to the dugout on pitches clearly outside the zone..

[NebraskaRed]

Wow, Kim out of the game

[Bob Sheed]

I’m gonna Cliff Claven you and say that Sparky sat down a lot of other players in 75-76 but then again Bell has the motivation skills of Don Hefner or Vern Rapp.

Yeah I thought I read somewhere that in that 76 season, the great 8 only played together as a whole in 40 games... I know that number is wrong but something low like that.

How about a Normism for your Cliff Claven?

"It's a dog eat dog world out there and I'm wearing Milkbone underwear."

[Boston Red]

Did they just say Kim ran 28.6 mph on that play to first? That can't be right.

[Bob Sheed]

I could watch that Castellanos play a million times... never gets old.

Woodford's surprised reaction is the icing on the cake.

[redssince75]

Wow, Kim out of the game

They let Woodford warm up forever....did they announce an injury to Kim?

4 HBP this series already......

Castillo looks like the good Castillo tonight. Love to see it. This team has a different feel with a confident Luis.

[kaldaniels]

There’s “never” a time for retaliation, I know.

But after a big run of accidental HBP I understand the logic of firing one inside to get the other team to tighten it up.

Last year the Cards had 26 HBP in 58 games. This year, in 57 games, they have 46.

[Boston Red]

Glad we're playing 100 extra games this year compared to last.

[Bob Sheed]

India is a beast at 2B.

Hopefully the Reds will not do anything on the field - except to send the film to the league office and hope that a future commissioner takes the evidence against the St. Louis team and acts accordingly. This post assumes that Rob Manfred will do nothing against the Cardinals for reasons unknown to this author.

Apologies. Running late on this.

They are obnoxious and arrogant. No respect.

[Bob Sheed]

India's OPS up to a respectable .747

[TheBigLebowski]

I have no idea what tonight “means,” per se - if it’s a blip; a data point. Or he could finally turned a corner. Even if you’re bearish on this team’s prospects for winning anything of significance this season, having him
perform like he’s capable gives this team so much more flexibility and a decent outlook.

Maybe they build around him for a while. Maybe they deal him. Either way, Luis being good is great for the franchise.

[Mitri]

Babe Castillo!

[Stray]

lmao where'd that come from

[Tom Servo]

that helps!

[Mitri]

Luis has had some pretty good swings this season iirc. He's having a game.

Having lived in St. Louis, and known many Cardinal fans, I can say with confidence that after Sosa hit the HR, the Cardinal fans thought, “we better give a him a big applause if we want to be known as the best fans in baseball.”

399 feet on that for Castillo.

I'd say Cards fans are probably the second best MLB fanbase in Missouri. So they've got that going for them.

[Mitri]

I live in Yankees country. I get a lot of flak defending Yanks fans with my family back home, but hey they're passionate (and spoiled, arrogant, etc.) about baseball so I appreciate it.

[Mitri]

Luis just hit 99 with that fb.

[Alf_Red_E]

Want more scoring? Lower the mound. There is no doubt it would change the game

[Stray]

Great job by Castillo tonight

[Mitri]

Nice work Luis. Best outing of the season by a mile.

[Alf_Red_E]

Great job by Castillo tonight

his last out in the 5th was 3 straight 98 mph strikes

and he gives up a single on a breaking ball

[Boston Red]

I just noticed that the Reds' only three hits tonight are the two bombs and Castillo's double. Very efficient.

[Tom Servo]

Would feel better turning it over the pen with a few more runs here

[Stray]

And the streak continues

[Alf_Red_E]

sawed off St Louis... I like it

[marcshoe]

The Cardinals are the best team in baseball at throwing at guys and making it look accidental, maybe? Makes no sense.

[Stray]

No intent obviously, but at some point you gotta let em know enough is enough.

[Alabama Red]

Farmer usually doesn’t swing at bad pitches like that.

[Boston Red]

I don't know. I think you'd love for them to hit you with breaking pitches all night. Send them a thank you card.

[Alf_Red_E]

No intent obviously, but at some point you gotta let em know enough is enough.

For a while, the Reds had a pitching coach nicknamed 'Stanley Steamer' known for owning the inside of the plate and coached that philosophy.

Yeah, someone needs to get drilled just to remind them 'accidents happen'

I think it would break MLB rules at this point.

India on base 4 times tonight. With 2 walks.

Why not give him a leadoff shot?

[Alf_Red_E]

Bad baseball, bad base running, a Reds staple

[RedTeamGo!]

Is Missouri not allowing full capacity yet?

[Tom Servo]

Can the bottom of this rough bullpen get 6 more outs before giving up 3 runs? We shall see.

[KeefeCato]

Off Topic but I just bought a dice/ card game called inside pitch. Bought the 76 season. Played the first two Reds games of the season tonight vs. the Astros. I am using the exact same lineups as both teams did in 76. Reds won 6-4 and 5-4 first two games. Real life scores were much higher. Really liking the game.
Use charts and just roll dice for all other non Reds games. To keep standings for all teams.
Takes like 45 minutes to play a Reds game. Takes like 5 minutes to get scores of all other games that day.

[Moose Herd]

Did anyone think Castellanos was going to be this good? Not me.

I remember in the off season people praying he would opt out.

the only thing you can't afford to do here is walk guys, and yet

[The Operator]

Better get Antone warming.

Ugh


Never mind, he went 2 last night. Double ugh

[RedTeamGo!]

Yeesh

[Alabama Red]

Reds players have some awful looking tattoos but Doolittle should be embarrassed with his.

[WVRedsFan]

This bullpen is hard to watch

[VR]

Brantley hammering the decision to bring in Doolittle. Love it.

[RedTeamGo!]

What in the absolute hell Doolittle

[Ironman92]

David Bell makes things too difficult

[TexasRedsFan]

Doolittle can’t be trusted unless the bases are empty.

[RedTeamGo!]

Just awful.

[The Operator]

Lol 6-4 ballgame

Tying run comes to the plate

[Red Raindog]

Dumpster diving bullpen is keeping me up but not sober!

Did Carpenter seriously try to move over to third base with nobody noticing?

The Cardinal way

Come on Doolittle!

OK. You can’t do it.

[The Operator]

You need one out. One damn out. Just get it done.

[adkindo]

Doolittle can’t be trusted unless the bases are empty.

even then...

[Shatz1988]

Doolittle really has nothing left in the tank. Just average or below average stuff.

[Tom Servo]

Doolittle continues to let inherited runners score every time

[Stray]

Those insurance runs were huge.

[Reds Fanatic]

Ugh. This bullpen

[Roy Tucker]

Jesus.

[The Operator]

Sweet baby Jesus

[Tony Cloninger]

I’m just happy for Castillo. And is there a Moose call coming soon?

[757690]

This is why we can’t have nice things…

[RedTeamGo!]

Doolittle sucks. DFA.

[Boston Red]

Jesus

[The Operator]

Goldschmidt coming up as the winning run

How does this happen

[Red Raindog]

Blandino has a better chance

Play percentages??? It was 6-2 with 2 outs...the percentages are to let the guy in there finish it or he should be on the team

[Alf_Red_E]

So when Antone and Lucas are unavailable, who will Tink go to ??? EVERYONE

[VR]

Now Michael Feliz? Really?

[DocRed]

This bullpen is trash....does anyone think otherwise? Anyone that thinks otherwise needs to get their head examined. LMFAO

[BluegrassRedleg]

Cowboy is killing TinkerBell.

[Tony Cloninger]

Better get Antone warming.

Ugh


Never mind, he went 2 last night. Double ugh

He can’t get just 1 out ?

[Sea Ray]

Forget the dumpster diving. Let's put the monkey on the kids' backs and bring up arms from the minors. This Doolittle crap...

[Ironman92]

Goldschmidt coming up as the winning run

How does this happen

Probably walk him and then Arenado comes out of it with a bang

[Shatz1988]

The team just has no talent in the bullpen outside of Antone. Sims is solid most of the time.

[The Operator]

I honestly do not understand going to Doolittle in the first place.

Hembree was a little shaky but was getting the job done and had one out left to get.


That might go down as one David Bell’s 5 worst pitching changes ever.

[Monster Man]

Doolittle sucks. DFA.

David Bell sucks too! Just let Hembree finish the game. Stop with the over-managing!

[Roy Tucker]

Feliz earlier in the inning made sense. Doolittle did not.

[The Operator]

He can’t get just 1 out ?

He probably could, I just assumed they wouldn’t.

[RedTeamGo!]

So frustrating. This would be an all timer reds loss if they blow this.

[Ron Madden]

REDS WIN!!!

[BCubb2003]

Feliz Navidad.

[Alf_Red_E]

Now who is available for tomorrow?

[Boston Red]

Feliz is basically Mariano Rivera.

[Redsfan5]

Victory Cigar!

You're quite the Debbie Downer tonight

Reds win!

[Alabama Red]

Ugly 9th but I’ll take it.

[Tom Servo]

Had it all the way.

We're still good! :beerme:

[The Operator]

Well that was quick. Nice job Feliz!


Reds win!!!!!

[Roy Tucker]

Impressive K by Feliz. Whew!

[Tony Cloninger]

I feel dirty.

[757690]

David Bell is a genius!
