Minor vs Alcantra

We. In. Trouble. "


Baseball: " Hold my $20 Beer ... Reds 10 Marlins 4 ."

[jfarrell04]

Yikes. That lineup is a shutout waiting to happen. Thankfully we have Minor going tonite (;

[Ky Fried Redleg]

Over/under on #of Reds' hits: 5.5

[Tony Cloninger]

I do hope it’s Jose at SS perm. Not just Farmer day off.

[cumberlandreds]

Total mismatch in starting pitchers. Alcantara is one of the best in MLB. Minor, well you know his story. Saying that Minor will probably pitch a 3 hit shutout.

Minor beating Alcantra would be the equivalent of me as 17 y.o. acne-faced book worm nailing Bo Derek when she starred in "10."

I wish I had a positive vibe on this guy, but I'm not feeling it.

I preferred Linda Carter AKA Wonder Woman. I agree Reds have little chance tonight.

Really hope Barrero can grab the SS job and run with it.

Lynda was (and still is) gorgeous. The guy who used to cut my hair(RIP Richard) had Lynda as a client back in the eighties when he had a shop in Hollywood. He said she was a very nice woman .

Still looks great as a 70+ year old.

[TexasRedsFan]

Is Romine still not available to play yet? Reds need an upgrade at catcher bad.

[Ironman92]

That lineup looks like balls.

Very tall. Mexican descent like Raquel Welch and Rita Hayward but you would not think they were because of stereotypes. That Spain heritage throws people off.

[Ky Fried Redleg]

That lineup looks like balls.

... and smelly ass.

[Ironman92]

Castillo was solid in his first start. His catcher was working well the first two innings and the only run was the pitch after a ball was called on a definite strike 3 but catcher caught it horribly and it looked like a ball. Then with 95 pitches and 1 run after 6 it seemed like an obvious pull just watching him…Service brought him back out for the the 7th snd gave up 2 fat pitches for 2 more runs.

6 2/3, 3 ER, 8 K, 5 H, 3 BB 109 pitches

No Stanton or Judge….he looked good but not great. Good first outing though.he should get the W

[KeefeCato]

Did Barrero simply fill a open roster spot? No mention of anyone being sent down.

[LeatherPants]

Drury.

M's got to Cole for six in the first. Geno took him deep. Second straight first inning homer for Suarez. Winker went yard in the seventh. Cole was booed in the Bronx. I guess Yankee fans are still a little salty over not acquiring Castillo. Good.

Charlie Goldsmith
@CharlieG__

David Bell said Jose Barrero is going to play “quite a bit of shortstop going forward.” Kyle Farmer will likely get the bulk of his time at third.

Those 2021 Reds are looking good.

[OldFashionedRed]

I really want to see Barrero do well here! When was the last time the Reds had a true full-blown teardown? My memories of the 90's and leading up to the 2012 season, and even after that one LOL are pretty fuzzy. Just imagine for next year:

I wouldn't be surprised if the Reds sign Billy Hamilton to a minor league deal with a spring training invite this off season.

The Reds are 39-39 since beginning the season 3-22.

In that span, Cincinnati batters posted an MLB-best 26.2% line drive percentage.

Hitting coach Alan Zinter's mantra this year has been "Do Damage on the Line."

[TexasRedsFan]

With at least two more reliable bullpen arms coming into 2022, Reds could've had an outside shot at a wildcard right now. Blowing off the bullpen completely doomed this season.

Do damage on the dotted line

[Tony Cloninger]

Great news.

Now about his fascination with hitting Moustakas 3rd. Solano gets on base. Not sure again what his thought process is.

[Tadasimha]

Good start

[Ron Madden]

India leads the game off with a line drive single to RF

[TheBigLebowski]

Wait, Mousse is batting 3rd? Huh?

[SomeCallMeTim]

Clearly not speed or OBP.

[mhs95_06]

Fraley fails to move runner, LF is not the place to hit it to advance him.

Well there you go. He’s Joe Morgan.

They're facing a really good pitcher tonight .

[KeefeCato]

That might have been the Reds one and only chance to score.

[Ron Madden]

Brace yourselves Mike Minor is on his way to the pitchers mound. :eek:

[OldFashionedRed]

I think they should sign Billy, with the understanding that he comes in as a pinch-runner and plays center to spell others. The guy is a nemesis on the bases, we've left so many runners on this season.

A lot of teams have tried that. They always end up letting him go for better use of the roster spot

[KeefeCato]

As expected. Alcantara is settling in.

[QUOTE=Ron Madden;4455594]A lot of teams have tried that. They always end up letting him go for better use of the roster spot

[COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]

With so many roster spots being used by pitchers, I don't think that would work. We need 5 SS that can hit and play 7 positions!

[OldFashionedRed]

LOL, that guy literally just called time just to see where the catcher was positioned.

[Ron Madden]

I wish someone would take over play by play for me.
Anyone could do a better job than I can. I type way too slow.

[OldFashionedRed]

Minor getting it done!

Compared to previous months, he's been doing better in July/August.

Brewers just decided they have better use of a roster spot and DFA'd Danielsen Limet two days after trading for him in the Hader deal. He won't clear waiver and he better not get past the Reds.

[Ron Madden]

Who is that wearing Minors uniform pitching lights out so far?

Are you saying that you WANT him? His stats are awful.

[Ron Madden]

Base hit for Fraley!

[Ron Madden]

Moose rolls into a double play, easy for him to do since you could time him from the batters box to first base with a calendar

[Sassy Sal]

It's always defied logic as to why he never put the effort into learning to bunt. His career might have gone totally different if he had.

[Ron Madden]

First pitch to Rojos was a strike

Minor gets out of the inning stranding a runner at 3B

You Go Mike MINOR !!!

Joey forgetting he's Joey and gets thrown out by 50 feet.

[Ron Madden]

Votto out trying to stretch a single to a double by a block and a half

[OldFashionedRed]

Ridiculous. Some power left, no speed, bad decision maker on the bases. Can't we try Farmer or India at first?

[Sassy Sal]

Yes, that was something ugly. But Farmer or India at first? I don't see it.

[westofyou]

Chris quoting Little feat in response to the Votto out

[OldFashionedRed]

Aquino just under that. That's upper deck if his bat is a fraction higher.

[traderumor]

Man, Marlins park reminds me of Astrodome, ball just dies there. I thought Rojas turned on one and it was a can of corn.

[westofyou]

Aquino just under that. That's upper deck if his bat is a fraction higher.

He's a bigger tease than a hooker in Waffle House

[Red Raindog]

I can’t count how times I’ve thought what the heck are you doing when Votto pulls a dumb stunt.

I’m now getting convinced that he’s not the brightest bulb in the box.

probably shouldn't throw that pitch as a LHP to Aguilaar

[OldFashionedRed]

Look at all the mindless sheep there holding their phones up with both hands. Can't even watch the game they bought a ticket for, gotta' have those likes on social media.

Maybe there's a surgery where his shoulders are fused lol. Level swing every time. Just make him squat or jump to hit anything not chest high.

[TexasRedsFan]

Looks like they removed that goofy fish display that would pop up in CF when a Marlin homered.

[OldFashionedRed]

Minor's pitched very well today.

[klw]

He has been always best in the first go through but for his career the number s for 2nd and 3rd time haven;t been this bad. I keep hoping as he gets more work in that he will stretch out and improve. It seems to be the past couple of starts.

[OldFashionedRed]

Wonder if Hamilton bunts here.

[Tom Servo]

ready for Romine to arrive and the Paper Man to get his walking papers

[Ky Fried Redleg]

Mike Minor being the winning pitcher over Alcantra would be th equivalent of Shelley Duvall(post- "The Shining") winning a beauty pageant over Susan Oliver, circa 1960's.

His value to this club is on display right now. We’re facing a pitcher we can’t hit. Sandy is about to throw a shutout. Let Minor go 8 innings and give up 5 runs… who cares? Someone has to eat innings in these losses - and there will be plenty of them.

3 earned over 5+ should keep you in games. Alcantra is very good.

Still a series win.

It doesn't help that the lineup's full of below replacement-level guys, and you have several that are not and should not be the face of this club in 2 years or so. Votto is on his last leg standing. Moose has been outmatched for some time.
