I think it is the perfect time to give him a rest. Gets Tyler another start as well. Nothing against Tucker. But Tyler needs to start 2 out of every 3 games moving forward. It is time for Tucker to pass the torch.
Win here get back to .500 heading home.

Welp, win today, move on from this road trip, and go back home at .500.

That would finish this as a 4-5 road trip. It stinks, but it's not exactly season burying.

It's just such a bummer because they were poised to make up some real ground. All well.

Bobby Nightengale @nightengalejr

David Bell said there is a "real good chance" that Tejay Antone pitches today regardless of the score. Reds used all their relievers in the 12-inning game last night.

Bell said Sonny Gray will likely make a 3-inning rehab start later this week.
He will start Thursday for Triple-A Louisville. Puts him on schedule to return to Reds on June 29 for series opener vs. Padres.

I see Santillan is scheduled to start Thur. They should skip him and move him to the bullpen with the off day tomorrow. Then put Gray in next turn.

Odd to give him the rest against a righty and not even have him DH. I guess it lets them get Shogo in the lineup but still use Winker and Naquin.

That assumes Gray is ready in his next turn. I'd assume he is going to need a rehab start or two.

Reds have just 3 position players that are on the 26 man on the bench today, and one is suspended! Just Aquino and Freeman to choose from. And to think they are also very short on the bullpen too with 8 relievers pitching yesterday.

Of course, the Reds can't be allowed the distinction of having 2 AS starters in the OF, so they are playing themselves out of that starting lineup.

Reds now with 14 pitchers, 2 catchers, 5 OFers, and 5 IFs (except for Votto suspension today).

Before the next series I assume a pitcher will go. They should add an infielder because 6 OFers is unnecessary. Someone with a bat, either Schrock if ready, or perhaps Lopez, the AAA phenom.

You would think scouts would start looking at more guys who throws strikes changes speed but maybe only top out at 88. I don't get it. I mean 100 mph is great and all. But just because a guy can't throw that hard doesn't mean he can't get batters out.

Yeah, so Sims was not available for a second inning last night, but he is available for another inning the day after a night game?

It was all about the Twins having 2 LHB coming up. Bell overthinking the situation. He is obsessed with Left on Left and Right on Right. That would be fine if Doolittle were any good. He is not. Bell has to know he is not good.
You will not find posts of me bashing Bell. He don't have a lot of good options to use in relief. But they win had Sims pitched two innings IMO. Loss was 100% on Bell. It would have been different had Sims been overused. He had not pitched last 4 days. Threw 20 pitches.

I will add to what I posted above about last nights game. I am not a Bell basher. I happen to think he has done a good job this season. For the most part. Last night he did not. Every fan of every team I am sure nitpicks the managers moves. Common nature. Bell has done more good than bad as a manager IMO.

Gimme that on June 1st all day every day.

Warren's numbers have always been good, with the exception of the walks. Fix that and we have a legit bullpen arm.

Eh, I don't know anything about that, but I was mainly referring to a habit of several Reds' players that I find mildly annoying.

I feel like a number of players are constantly jawing with the ump on ball/strikes, even when the call was obviously correct. Or it was borderline and they decided to take it with 2 strikes. Sometimes I wonder if it hurts them in the long run.

Wait, so yesterday they lost because they didn't leave Sims in, and today because they put him in? Warren started the inning and couldn't get the job done.

There is no managing around a sub-ML quality bullpen.

I just don't get why you have Sims getting loose, then you get Warren up when the Reds are scoring more runs. Put in Warren and he goes BB, HR, 3 pitch K of Cruz and then pull him? I get the 3 batter minimum and all, but I would've let him go another batter. It's not like Sims is nails, guy gives up plenty of hits and walks on his own.

And it's not enough to wait for one pitcher to come off the IL to fix this. I turned it off last night and I just did today. Just impossible to watch. And a been a reds fan for over 50 years.

Can’t win with this bullpen and if they aren’t going to trade for some help before the AS break might as well start selling. Time is running out and can’t wait until the deadline. Cast, Mikey and Barnhart my get a good return if they’re traded before the break. I hate to see Cast go this year but he’s gone this winter. He could get a MLB ready talent and more at this point.
