Bobby Nightengale @nightengalejr

David Bell said Lucas Sims could return this weekend. He's scheduled to pitch tonight, his second straight appearance with Triple-A

said Mike Moustakas may rejoin the #Reds in a day or two. Nick Senzel will play more games on his rehab assignment.

Eugenio Suárez is batting eighth tonight.

In other words, Bell preferred Tyler S and Farmer at 5 and 6 in the lineup. And then wanted to break up the RHHs, so it’s lefty Naquin seventh. Leaving eighth place for Suarez.

Or it could be just coach speak when in reality he means our worst hitter should bat 8th.

It's not an easy task to beat any team four straight, even a AAA team like the Pirates. But, guys, we really, really need to win these four games. Any loss to the Pirates at this point just seems like a double whammy. What are your odds on us getting all four?

Yeah, we always seem to slip up at least once in a series like this. 3/4 will be a pass , 2/4 will just feel like four more games off the schedule with nothing accomplished. You're right, this first one is key. Gotta have it !

Hyothetically, if we were a 75% probability to win any one individual game in this series, then we'd be at 31.64% to win all four. If we were 80% to win any one game, then we would be at 40.96% to win all four. I'll go with halfway between and give us a 36.3% chance of sweeping this series. If we see any Sean Doo doo late with any of these games on the line, then this percentage goes down.

Btw, Crowe pitched six scoreless , allowing just one hit in his last outing. I will go on record saying he won't repeat his six scoreless performance tonight. I'll eat crow if Crowe pitches six scoreless tonight.

Also, the Bucs have scored 26 runs in Crowe's last three outings.

Suarez in the 8 hole is risky. I believe its usually good to have a break between 2 auto outs. But I guess that is why I'm sitting in an IT office instead of filling out lineup cards for the Reds.

I think it’s a lottery ticket. Maybe he’ll get some AAA at-bats and get a little off his mojo back. And then, the Reds will need a backup CF (which I hope they don’t, I hope Senzel gets back). A low risk low reward move.

You could tell by his last year he had lost his real good stuff and was just getting by. Probably could have hung on a bit longer but it would have been in that up-and-down journeyman role.

Misplays(or failures to try to make a play at all) that are not errors can cost the pitcher as many, or more runs than actual errors, but they go down as earned runs, very undeservedly.

I can sort of sympathize with the notion of trading Sonny this offseason. Next year is his last year right?


I guess it’s sort of a balance if you think the back injury from last year and his various injuries from this year won’t continue to carry on and effect his performance. On the other hand, you wouldn’t lose super often betting against an injured pitcher in his 30s.


I’m not sure if they could even get much for him at this point, so I could see him just being more valuable to the Reds than what he could get in a trade. The best time to trade him might’ve been last offseason, as much as I wasn’t a fan of it then.
