Plan A tonight should be to walk Soto every time. The guy is on fire right now and just does no good to pitch to him.

For some crazy reason the Reds seems to want to pitch to everyone, frequently letting the best hitter beat them.

I know they haven't been eliminated yet. But we all know it is over. So why on earth don't they release Cabrera and bring up Lopez? If for no other reason to reward Lopez for his fine season in the minors. And I am not one who thinks Lopez is a lock to make a big league bench either. But reward the guy for his play. Give him a spot on the team to finish out the year.
Also SS or CF just play Barrero everyday from here on out. I wanna see him play.

Juan Soto said #Reds' Joey Votto told him good AB/ swing on single: "Just to see a guy like that, like Joey Votto, one of the guys who walks more & strikes out less in the league telling me that was a good at-bat, it’s something that made me proud, & made me want more and more.”

Larry Schuler

The Reds were losing. Votto should have frowned at him and said “I can’t talk right now. My team is losing.” I’m friggin tired of this.

Poor Isdreadful Cabrera. A lot of us wanted him when we acquired him and now we want to throw him away. Maybe the Reds have big plans for him next season.

They just want to season to end. I am starting to think they may not finish over .500
Lets put ourselves in there place for a minute though. In the race till a few days ago. But just couldn't get over the hump. Go from playing very meaningful baseball down the stretch to out of it in a blink of an eye. Now they are just wanting next Sunday evening to get here ASAP. I can't blame them at this point.

Reds are trying, they’re competitors. Sonny Gray is trying to mow down the Nats.

But there’s a natural let down. The team (with injuries) isn’t very good, they are all disappointed, probably distracted.

I don’t blame them, but it’s tough to watch. I’m not sure if Reds are focused on the end of the season - but I am.

Pirates have been out of playoff contention for months and yet they have played much more inspired and showed more energy than the Reds over the last five or six weeks(and won a lot more series). In fact, in the last two Reds/Pirates series, the Bucs looked like the team playing for a postseason berth.

There is a chance of losing more than 81 games. Would be a real letdown.

OldFashionedRed
09-24-2021, 08:11 PM
I hope the pitching holds up next year. Except for Castillo, these are pretty good numbers.

Before today's game, here's the starters: Record ERA WHIP (career WHIP)

Miley 12-7 3.37 / 1.33 (1.38)
Mahle 12-6 3.66 / 1.22 (1.34)
Gutierrez 9-6 4.53 / 1.37 (first year)
Gray 7-8 3.84 / 1.18 (1.22)
Castillo 8-16 4.05 / 1.35 (1.22)

Next year could make this year's club look like a world series contender if we don't patch up the offense.

I'm a bit worried about the pitching for next year.

I would rather Lodolo and Greene pitch in the show than waste another year in AAA. The experience with the Reds next year would be much more valuable. The experience gained facing ML hitters instead of AAA hitters would only serve to make them better in the years to come.
How about a rotation of Castillo, Mahle, Miley, Greene and Lodolo. Who knows, it might work beyond expectations.

At this point, and with this collapse, they're better off securing as good a draft position as possible. Sit the starters, send Aquino, Shogo, Garett packing. Just do it. Bring up whoever that Lopez kid is. Move people around. Ticket sales are shot, they'll be worse next year IMO.

I may be disappointed about the last few weeks, but since I "predicted" 69 wins, I guess I can't complain. But more than anything, I am sad that Reds baseball is closing in on the end of the season. I am just trying to enjoy the remaining games. Disappointment aside, winter sucks more than watching the Reds lose.

The players putting on a Reds uniform every day care more about the Reds than you and me, they depend on getting chances to prove themselves in this game, a difficult game too.

The manager and coaches also care more as this is their chance to succeed in a professional capacity and prove they have not wasted their time on earth on a boys game that is hard yet so simple that guys like me can judge their decisions.

They care more insofar as it’s their livelihood, and almost all care for no other reason than their competitive nature as an athlete, but most don’t care more about the franchise than those who have followed it for 20/30/40/etc years as a passionate fan. More properly stated, it’s just not an apples to apples conversation.

But almost every person who posts here and watches this team acknowledges they’ve checked out. Most of them, anyway.

The argument can be made that fans shouldn’t care as much. Or that they should care passionately but also be in perfect command over their emotions in such as way as to turn off that microchip in all of us that makes it impossible to deal with disappointment perfectly, or to understand there’s no point in gnashing teeth over things we can’t change.

And the duality of baseball as gift and a burden is a bit prosaic and pedantic, but also the perfect explanation as to why it drives us so nuts - understanding this isn’t some sort of behavioral alchemy.

The end of the season is near. We had a decent run and we all got excited. We did incur a lot of untimely injuries. Lots of 'strains' that didn't used to occur in years passed. This season had some moments but, next year really needs to elevate to the next level. If our first 45 games are well under .500 then TinkerBell has to go. There's more than enough sample time to make this assessment.

No one looks like Greg Maddux. I remember the Maddux/Glavine strike zone. If their catcher set up a foot off the plate and they threw the pitch straight into their mitt, it was called a strike. I think MLB stopped that a few years ago... somewhat.

I'm not, and neither is any Reds fan I know IRL who knows anything about the game.

This is Reds' country down here in my neck of the woods . I talk to lots of Reds' fans. Not one that know is a fan of Bell. The only Bell apologists/fans I have ever encountered are on this board.

give me the higher draft pick than some meaningless win tonight.

It's not meaningless.

It's good to win, bad to lose.

This extends to all things.

This ends our lesson today. That will be 300 dollars. Pay the llama at the gate.

Cessa's ERA has dropped every year since 2018, his WHIP pretty much did the same thing. I like this kid.

I like that it can't just be "wow very ****ty performance by Givens" it has to be that actually he's terrible and always has been despite all the of the evidence otherwise.

But when all you have is a hammer, etc...

If we only had multiple Givens's earlier in the year...
Yeah, I know, If when how, coulda, shoulda, woulda.
