Reds are not bringing anyone up to fill Antone's spot until Santillan comes up Sunday to start.

What a "We give up" move by not filling his spot with literally anyone for two games.

They’ve done this before. I hate it. But it may be because of MLB rules, options and the 40 man roster. They might have to risk losing a player to get one up for these two game.

If Bell isn't going to play Naquin vs. a LHP. Then at least play Shogo. Can't wait for Aquino to be back. Then they will probably face 25 straight RHP and he will rot on the bench.

Shogo has done everything he can to show Bell that he can get on base and provide good defense. Bell just doesn't care.

Those last 4 in the lineup are B-R-U-T-A-L. Prolific out-makers all. Scott Heineman getting the nod today reminds me of this gem that used to pop in to my head every time David Bell pinch hit for Jesse Winker in the 5th inning back in 2019:

Last year Shogo was struggling, we could not score runs and did not matter how the pitching did we lost. Then Shogo started getting on base, we scored runs and Won games. Then the offense seemed to take off.

Youve got to play Shogo here. There’s at least some upside that I don’t see with Hieneman

NebraskaRed
06-11-2021, 05:50 PM
Yeah, if you're Shogo and Scott Heinemen is getting more playing time than you are, there's no way you don't take that personally.

06-11-2021, 05:50 PM
Last year Shogo had 183 PAs, only 23 against LH pitching.

Bell is a L/R percentages manager.

Shogo’s playing time this year vanished with the absence of a DH spot (for Winker). Otherwise Shogo would be the LFer against RHP.

Really just that one bomb was bad there. Some pretty weak contact overall for the rest of the hits there. Still a pretty good performance for Mahle.
I'm not furious at him but anytime you give up a four spot in an inning it's not a good start.

You are correct. However I agree with Larkin. They all shouldn’t be.

Depends. A breaking ball in the dirt is sometimes designed to be in the dirt, so the catcher should be ready for those, within reason. But a fastball in the dirt is the pitcher's fault. Maybe the catcher could have better mechanics, but both pitches in this game that have been ruled as wild pitches were correctly scored. Likewise, the one pitch that was ruled a passed ball was also correctly scored.

Those singles weren’t exactly obliterated.

Yes that HR pitch was up, but I dont know how we can complain much when Mahle has been the most consistent winner we’ve had all year.

That was what I was trying to say. Mahle deserved better.

Yeah, probably not. For me I can say it was a good performance because he looked really good overall while conceding it wasn't a great start overall. Still, this definitely takes it from feeling safe to knowing the bullpen could lose it so that is extremely frustrating.

There runs are not his fault, but this game is revealing how much work Stephenson needs to do on defense.

I think as a Catcher, he will make a great replacement for Votto as the next 1bman

DeGrom through 6 innings tonight against SD..10 k's with 1 hit allowed then runner caught stealing. How good can this guy be?

DeGrom pulled to start the 7th. Reliever promptly gives up a 2 run bomb. Where have all the good relievers gone?

I don’t see it. He could have an excellent bat for a catcher, or a maybe average-ish one as a first baseman.

He’s tall for a catcher. Good catchers are a little more compact.

That has to drive a manager crazy. Bring in a lefty to face a lefty and walks him on 4 straight. Better them than us.

Very possibly. As you said, he doesn't look particularly comfortable back there at times, and they don't really have a 1B prospect of any note in the minors.

They have like what, an 8 ERA without Antone? Need them to pitch 3 innings?

I won’t say the fear is unfounded or anything, but they should be able to hold a 7 run inning more often than not. Now of course when they blow it it’ll be because of this post.

Good point. Joe Oliver (6'3") was good defensively as a tall catcher. Eddie Taubensee (6'4") was average-ish at best defensively, and was somewhat stiff behind the plate, but his bat was pretty good. With work, I think Stephenson could be a right-handed hitting version of Taubensee.

"Incident free" inning from the pen. I went back early in the year and the pen had gone 22 straight appearances with allowing at least a hit or a run in EVERY outing. Would love to see the % of those innings this year. Has to be historically bad.

“It’s not in the UCL area,” Antone said of the soreness. Antone’s had Tommy John surgery before. That’s why he said he was confidence he could push through it.

The Reds aren’t going to fill Antone’s roster spot tonight. RHP Tony Santillan will start Sunday.

The team will also need to create a 40-man spot for Aristides Aquino on Sunday.

David Bell said he's "very confident" Tejay Antone will be ready to return next Thursday, which is the first day he's eligible to be activated from the IL.
