Why does freeman need a start?

Why does freeman need a start?

I know. Put Naquin at 1B. Stick Shogo in the OF. At this point Bell shows how he plays favorites and how if he dislikes a player. Buried him.

Freeman at least hit some in 2019. 2020 never happened. I count very little from that. See Nicky C for proof of that.

Not going to put Naquin at first, he doesn’t seem to play first base.

But why isn’t Tyler Stephenson playing first? He’s done ok there. He needs a rest? Not seeing Freeman as necessary for first base today.

As for Shogo, they could rest Naquin one day.

I forgot about the other Tyler. This remind me of the Moneyball movie that showed Pitt asking if Hatty was starting at 1B and being told it was still Pena. Even Beane couldn’t control Howe so he had to trade Pena.

Shogo cannot hit his weight.

06-05-2021, 12:04 PM
Ty Steve, and India, and even Senzel seem to employ a more controlled style of hitting. Not so many strikeouts, more contact. The power hitting is coming on gradually.

Reds offense has done pretty well considering the injuries and the dominance of pitching in MLB. I’m pretty excited about these younger players and hope the pitching side comes up with some good ones too.

i will give david bell credit: he can clearly see that naquin is far better than shogo, contract be damned.

like i've said, if naquin played in japan, he would hit 50 HRs per season.

I like trying India at leadoff for a stretch to see how it goes. He has been hitting. Stephenson needed a day off. He has played several days straight.

I’ll give Bell some credit for trying India at lead off as long as he gives it a week or so. Suarez continuing to swing for the fences every AB wasn’t cutting it there.

Oviedo has pitched 20 innings for the Cardinals so far this year and has walked 15. He's given up 13 runs (12 earned).

Shogo cannot hit his weight.

We have no idea if that’s true or not. Bell refuses to give him anything resembling consistent at bats. He hit pretty well for half of the mini-season last year.

Dropped a little thank you note to the Cards clubhouse for Blandino not being an option for Bell for awhile. His little heart is gonna break when he looks down the bench when he needs someone to make an out off the bench and he's no there.

No, but they had a chance.

Eventually it will pay off just having someone in front of them whether it is India or Senzel when he return. Suarez is not that guy.

traderumor

Can Naquin acquire the ability to reduce swinging at pitches out of the zone? It is keeping him from being great and makes him just a common hack who can run into one every once in awhile.

Goldschmidt has not looked good so far this series.

I have to question that pitch selection, you're blowing him away on the inner third with your fastball why go away? And if you do go away you have to go away where it can't be reached.

I haven't given up on him yet. With each passing game it is getting more bleak. At this point you would settle for a above .200 avg at seasons end. Maybe 30 HRs

Gotta admit, I didn’t see the Suarez to Rob Deer metamorphosis coming.

You keep squinting at his numbers and digging through stretches for something resembling a bounceback.

His last 15 games, eh, .705 OPS. Major improvement over his season line.

Then you look at his last 7 games, and it dips back down to .605.




He’s just not putting together any handful of games where he looks passable at the plate at all, with any kind of consistency whatsoever. I know it’s somehow only been just 2 months of this, but I don’t really see a future where his ceiling is anything but a guy who somehow hits .200 with 40 home runs for a couple years and then washes out of the game a couple more years after that.

The difference is that both the Pirates and Brewers (especially the Brewers) have some history with script motifs on their jerseys. Other than an alternate jersey in 1936 and 1937, the Reds had no history with a script front prior to these abominations. If they want an alternate red jersey, then I submit that there was nothing wrong with the previous ones they had -- basically a red negative of the regular home jersey.
