Stupid David Bell

Suerez hit a HR last night

[redsfan9988]

Predictions!!

Wade Miley pitches in to the 8th and gets a hit
Moustakas doubles and reaches twice
Castellanos homers
Reds run Brubaker early - before the 4th
John Sadak mentions how positive Eugenio Suarez is at least five times - I’m going to make it a drinking game
Reds win big - I’ll say 8-2

It's Friday, I already made that a drinking game

[KeefeCato]

The top 6 in the Reds lineup is easily a top 10 lineup.

[kaldaniels]

I imagine it will be presented as “a day off” for Suarez.

That’s the Cincinnati Way.

[mgbrown66]

Such a great point about Sadaks man crush for Suarez. We get it - he’s the Justin Timberlake in your boy band.

It’s old already. And it’s only been 4 months.

[NCReds]

I didn’t realize this until I didn’t see his name in he lineup, but not having Suarez in the lineup kind of makes me wish even more that we had a DH. Yes, Moustakas will be a huge upgrade on offense in the place of Suarez and I’m thrilled to have him back. But at the same time it would seem nice to have a Suarez batting ninth in a DH spot, especially after his recent show of power. Again, excited to have Moose back and looking forward to hopefully activating Senzel and Sims this weekend! Things are looking up! Go reds!!

[CrosleyVet]

Suarez is a home run every 10 games, but 3 strike outs every game. Goodbye Geno

I think I'd rather have Miley trying to get on base for India/Winker/Castellanos. .189 average this year

RedsZone user with rose colored glasses is refreshing! But Man oh Man…. Suarez has been terrible all year.

Last night I looked at the lineup with TySteve and Suarez hitting 8th and thought to myself “when moose gets back this lineup is a freaking bon3r waiting to happen.”

And I’m old.

[mgbrown66]

Plus Miley has a mini-moose stroke. I trust him more to be less of a rally killer than Suarez.

[TheBigLebowski]

We’ve obviously had plenty of time to digest it, but I still find myself gobsmacked over the nose dive Suarez has taken.

When he hits it hard, it looks effortless. Smooth. Circa ‘19. But so many of his a-bs are baffling ordeals.

Here’s hoping you do as well as last night!

My prediction:

Shrock drives in 5 runs even though he’s in a different area code.

Regarding your Sadak/Suarez prediction you may not make it to the 4th… [emoji3061]

[WVRedsFan]

Ah, the Cincinnati Greens (!

[757690]

So are these the camp uniforms and caps for the Reds this season? Not as ugly as usual.

[Tom Servo]

hmm not good to walk a weak hitter like Nogowski here with two out

[Tom Servo]

23 pitch inning for Miley, and he worked at a glacier's pace compared to normal.

2-0 good guys (shouldn't Votto have scored too??)

Nice to have a professional hitter up in an RBI spot. How does Votto not score there?

Great read by Moose on the unstoppable Farmer's bloop.

[Playadlc]

4-0.

Really surprised Votto couldn't score on Moose's double. Alas, Farmdog has everyone's back.

[Ironman92]

16 pitches through 6 hitters and Votto walked on a deep count lol

[JP321]

So nice to see what our lineup should have been all year.

[Ironman92]

Naquin’s bat is very slow….not getting that front door down

[PuffyPig]

When the best hitter in baseball bats 6th in your lineup, you have it made.

Ball 4.

Good AB from Naquin.

I wondered where the ball would have to be for Naquin to not offer at it and take the walk. Four feet over his head was the answer.

I hate Tucker's lonnnnnnnnggggggg swing. But when he does connect, it's beautiful.

[RedTeamGo!]

If Moose bats to his career norms and the bullpen is even a little better than mediocre this team has a real shot.

[BCubb2003]

Brubaker is going to wish he’d stayed in prison.

India has been the victim of a few bad strike calls in the last week. Rookie treatment I guess. Dang his eye is good though.

I’ll take the over and say it will be on 2 Moose bombs.

That's why we have Farmer to pick him up.

[Tom Servo]

How could you not? I always thought he was fine as a bench player but stretched as a regular. And he was, right up until he wasn't.

Really his defense at SS might be the most impressive thing to me, even more than the ridiculously hot bat. This is a guy who was like a third base/catcher, he has no business being as good at shortstop as he's been.

[Red Raindog]

He got a lot of whipping on here when he wasn’t great but all we had and was solid.

Since July 1st he’s been nothing short of an all-star player and playing to his max. He’s been huge on this team.

This team has had SO many players really be big for this team this year. So many to easily cheer for.

India
Winker
Castellanos
Votto
Farmer
Stephenson

Maybe Moose now?

This remains fun. Winker!

Like someone said earlier in this thread. Naquin's bat is really slow right now. Just like Farmer's was before this hot streak. Tip your hat to Farmer. Guy is playing nearly every day. Knocking the cover off the ball and you can tell he is in pain.

[Ironman92]

For the fans still going mainly to batting average…..well, the Reds are pretty good for you now

[JP321]

If Reds are still up 9 or more, when do you start rotating guys out? Moose/India/Wink in particular. I'm thinking around 6th inning

[SomeCallMeTim]

Is it OK to say:

Go San Fransciso Giants Baseball this weekend?

I think Brubaker just said "if I were using spider tack, they wouldn't have 9 runs!"

Miley had predicted he would hit a HR into the Allegheny river.
He was corrected in the clubhouse that the river outside GABP was the Ohio.

I imagine it was his call since he was swinging a bat pretty regularly during the two weeks he was out. I think it makes sense, even when not hitting he makes the lineup better.

I certainly can understand why a fan would want to get Farmer out.

So the Pirates have a Mitch Keller and a Kyle Keller, but with no relation, and they both have an ERA over 7.00

Neat.

Not like Wade is a high max guy or is pitching stressful innings here, I'm keeping him in at least until the pitch count gets over 100.

When Senzel comes back, which of Naquin, Aquino, or Akiyama goes on the IL?

[membengal]

Barry is correct. Kal Daniels was an unreal hitter.

[Kc61]

Reds are short backup infielders with Freeman and Schrock out. I doubt they want to use Geno as mop up. Hopefully Senzel will be up soon and can help with that role on occasion.

Somewhere in MIL a fan is looking at the box score and saying... 'well yeah, playing the Pirates...'

[KeefeCato]

At least they have the Steelers to compensate…

Sad thing is nearly every Reds fan I know that is my age is also a Steeler fan . I am not nor will I ever root for that garbage Steeler team.

[JP321]

Why is Cessa warming up? Unless it's just a bullpen session, this is a perfect night for Doolittle and Hembree

[wvreds]

It’s Friday night, I’m 6 Buschhhhh deep, and watching the Reds kick the absolute crap out of the Pirates. Place my World Series bet now or??

[Tadasimha]

An even hundy pitch count. Put your feet up Wade, you earned it.

No…

I’ll never understand that. I cannot stand the Steelers. I’m in southern WV. It’s Steelers or die. Reds, Pirates, and Braves.

[membengal]

All the Moose doubles.

[Ironman92]

Moose pulling the ball well…..barrels everywhere

[NCReds]

Predictions!!

Wade Miley pitches in to the 8th and gets a hit
Moustakas doubles and reaches twice
Castellanos homers
Reds run Brubaker early - before the 4th
John Sadak mentions how positive Eugenio Suarez is at least five times - I’m going to make it a drinking game
Reds win big - I’ll say 8-2

How about double X3?!

[Kc61]

Has Senzel been practicing SS?

I don’t know but he’s the likely answer. Reds said Nick would play some short.

Reds were obviously looking ahead to the current player mix.

[JP321]

All the Moose doubles.

Geno playing days gonna be very numbered if Bell is smart

[Strikes Out Looking]

3 Doubles, 1 game>1 homer every few games, K+every game.

[VR]

Moose will make a great DH

[membengal]

what are they talking about? That is clearly not fan interference

[Ironman92]

I don’t know if fan reached over but no way can you call that an out….I mean that’s a top 10 play of the week in MLB if made

[adkindo]

that ball was not landing in the field of play

[AG Slater]

When Senzel comes back, which of Naquin, Aquino, or Akiyama goes on the IL?

Send out Aquino. I like Akiyama defense

[adkindo]

I don’t know if fan reached over but no way can you call that an out….I mean that’s a top 10 play of the week in MLB if made

he did reach, but caught it around his elbows....it would at best landed on top of wall

[KeefeCato]

Moose really doing a bunch of running on his foot tonight. Doubt he plays tomorrow.

[Ironman92]

Farmer has been an out machine the past 50 minutes

[klw]

double moose x 3

Luckily Suarez can play SS

[AG Slater]

Kyle Farmer is a hell of a story this year and player. Credit to that guy

[KeefeCato]

I have doubts that he is the answer. But they have to give Senzel a extended look in CF. Right now none of the three are starters.

[AG Slater]

I can easily say it's been 10+ years since the Reds had an offense like this. Maybe 20. 2009-2011 was nice but damn they still even have Stephenson not even in this game

[KeefeCato]

Lost in all this 10 run explosion. Another outstanding game for Miley.

[Strikes Out Looking]

I don't recall anyone ever going from the closer to the mop up guy in a week.

[Alf_Red_E]

Hembree getting the pick up yer spirits inning in a 10-0 game

[WVRedsFan]

I’ll never understand that. I cannot stand the Steelers. I’m in southern WV. It’s Steelers or die. Reds, Pirates, and Braves.
I live in Greenbrier County. Bunch of Steeler fans. They just follow a winner. Lots of Reds fans here.

[JP321]

Great call by Bell... Hembree needs a confidence boost. So he needs to pitch well here

[KeefeCato]

After tonight 11 games still to go against these Pirates.

[JP321]

And I wanna see Doolittle in 9th.

[KeefeCato]

And I wanna see Doolittle in 9th.

Yes that will do. His farewell game. Sims back tomorrow goodbye DOO.

[KeefeCato]

I live in Greenbrier County. Bunch of Steeler fans. They just follow a winner. Lots of Reds fans here.

I know why guys my age around here are Reds and Steeler fans. Both big winners at the time I grew up. Somehow the Reds got left behind the following 40 plus years. I loathe the Pittsburgh Steelers.

[JP321]

Doolittle and Hoffman days are numbered once Sims and Antone come back

[AG Slater]

Yes that will do. His farewell game. Sims back tomorrow goodbye DOO.

Doolittle is gonna come in and show these fools who they are messing up. Straight up gas. And I mean farts

[KeefeCato]

Doolittle and Hoffman days are numbered once Sims and Antone come back

Probably once Sims and Senzel come back.

[WVRedsFan]

Yes that will do. His farewell game. Sims back tomorrow goodbye DOO.

They’ll keep Doolittle. One of Bells favorites

I agree Mr Keefe. Steelers suck my balls

Originally from Boone, now Kanawha. I became a Reds fan because the only station my grandpa could
Pick up on his front porch after working in the mines was 580 which always played Reds games. Marty and Joe and a couple generations and here we are.

[Roy Tucker]

Barry is correct. Kal Daniels was an unreal hitter.

Back in the day, I saw Daniels at a restaurant by Tri-County. I forget the place. He wore a blue velour leisure suit. His date was making googoo eyes but he looked very bored. My wife said he looked like a jerk acting like that.

[AG Slater]

Louisville area is loaded with bandwagon Steelers fans. Makes me sick

I was born into Reds fandom. My father took me to a game early on. I remember listening to games on WCHS and WCKY.

He seemed like he would be a jerk. Wish he would have had two good knees though.

Yep! Makes it that much more special to me!

[SomeCallMeTim]

A 10 run lead into the 9th.

Finally!

Aren't father's the cornerstone for fandom? My dad got me into Reds, Bengals, Cats. I also teach my son's the same and hope they will follow. ��

I always thought Kal looked bored playing baseball. Ridiculous talent.

[KeefeCato]

Worst Reds LFer Dunn or Daniels?

[coryfly]

Fun game to come home to. Miley always gives up some baserunners but is quite impressive in how he takes care of business so often once they get on.

Aquino took that hit to the arm like it was nothing, lol.
