Should be able to take 3 of 4 from the Nats. Let's get these next two.

We’ll be heavily favored tomorrow with Castillo v. Corbin. Poor Patrick is throwing about $30MM worth of batting practice this year…

Yes but Corbin throws from the Left side. You know the Reds and facing LHP. Corbin did have 1 decent game this year. So he is due for another.

Mike Moustakas draws a walk on the 11th pitch of the at-bat, which ties the score for the Reds at 3 in the fifth.

On Sunday, Albert Almora hit his first home run since 2019.
Today, he crushes a grand slam.

There was also a really strong bat flip as the Reds take a 7-3 lead.

If our pitchers could stop giving up so many HRs, that would be great.

He checks in periodically. Usually post 2 of the day is always fire Bell.
I mean the best two relievers have been Diaz and Santillan. They just didn't have it today.
How about fire the incompetent front office. Need more than 2-3 good relievers.

Do you leave Detwiler in for 9th or go to Strickland?

You almost exclusively talk about Bell though and act as though most of these jabronis would be good if only anyone else was at the helm.

No kidding. Diaz has been good and he got shelled today. Bell isn't the issue 90% of time when it comes to this bullpen

[KeefeCato]

Saw Phillie fans last night. Basically say the same thing. They think the bullpen full of junk will automatically pitch better now that Giardi is gone.

[JP321]

I'm sure the front office would be thrilled to hear fans blaming Bell... I'm sure he loves never having to write Castellanos, Winker, Suarez, Gray, and whoever else we gave away on his lineup card

[KeefeCato]

Save Diaz for 9th whatever happens 7 8th is on front office

On this team saving your best reliever to pitch the 9th? So your best reliever would then get in less games than every other reliever. Because they don't often have the lead in the 9th.

Theres nothing that makes a manager look bad as much as a bad bullpen.

Worst Nats team ever and this Reds team still can’t beat them.

Embarrassing.

[Tony Cloninger]

They have 1 reliable reliever who had to have his first bad game today. The rest is inconsistent to terrible.

Oh and the pitching coach is the opposite of taking what he has and making it work or passable. The Yankees have about 3 reclamation projects who are pitching like their the nasty boys.

[cumberlandreds]

Davy Martinez tossed between innings.

I also don't know why the players can't do the right thing once the ball is hit. On the single that broke the tie, by only one run that they would have had a chance to make up, CF didn't have the knowledge when he fielded it on a hop that any play would be at 3rd and come directly up and throw it there, and the P should have known to back up there and he immediately went no where but stay around the mound!

[Redsfan6272]

The last two hitters that got hits.. why ih why throw Franco a fastball to him? His slider should have been thrown. Then Hernandez swings at two sliders down. You throw a fastball with 2 strikes right down the middle?? Ugh the pitch calling

When Bell is mercifully fired in 3 or 4 years, he’ll never again have a MLB manager job.

It’s time to move on from Stricnine. He has done nothing for them. He will do better with another pitching coach.

[TheBigLebowski]

I want them to lose every game they play for the remainder of the year and I want it to be ugly. In the offseason, clear the house. Krall. Williams. Bell. Derek Johnson. Cut the crap from this roster. Just blow this (crud) up and start over. There’s a funk inside this organization that’s been festering for 30+ years.

Lose. Every single day. Lose miserably.

Something tells me a lot of owners out there aren't going to hold the Reds not winning against him given the injuries, ownership group, etc.

Besides, it's common for guys to get multiple chances.

Obviously only time will tell. Perhaps another franchise will go the cheap route.

But his resume is not good. I get it that he’s not been given a full deck of cards to play with but he makes poor decisions with the cards he has been given.

We have been told it’s not the manager who actually makes the decisions anymore. They are being made by the binder people in the FO. So we all know how bad those people are.

His resume is actually pretty solid. Reds fans for some bizarre reason only ever looked at his Louisville Bats record but he spent several years on staff with the Cubs and Cardinals including as the Cards bench coach, and an important FO job with the Giants before coming here. Add in several years as a largely .500ish manager with a poverty franchise and he will definitely be someone who at least gets interviews post-Reds.

[WVRedsFan]

If you look at the batting averages of the lineups every day, it's obvious something is wrong. If you look at the bullpen, it's just not good. Using Strickland with the 6.41 ERA in a situation like that shows either there is no one he trusts or he's bat crap crazy. I'll be a Reds fans forever, but this game was winnable and poor decisions cost them the game. He got lucky last year with all that firepower and hitting. And it hurts to see the lowly Pirates winning and winning. Just mad as can be.

[goreds2]

Crap, I was at a wedding reception and took a peak at the score and the Reds were up 7-3. I thought all was good ! :confused:
