Re: 9/1: Reds visiting the Bucs
Two nice innings from Asher W. Not sure there's room for him on the forty, but I hope the Reds keep him in the organization for next season.

Thanks. I have high hopes for him.
Re: 9/1: Reds visiting the Bucs
Vincej pinch hits and grounds to short. Got down the line nicely.

Same here. His stuff is electric but he's still just here after a short stint in AA. No need to let Price run him like a 10 yr. Cueto type vet.
Re: 9/1: Reds visiting the Bucs
Vincej makes his major-league debut as a PH for Wojo. He is the first Red to wear #12 since Dusty Baker in 2013, and the first Reds player since Edwin Encarnacion in 2007.

Of course, with some of those guys, they wouldn't miss a turn anyway. They were workhorses expected to pitch every turn.
True, but you wouldn't have a Homer Bailey or Devin Mesoraco. A lot of them would be "Whatever happened to" guys. Now, we're always talking about how he's hurt again, how badly, how long, how soon, for a bunch of guys.
Re: 9/1: Reds visiting the Bucs
Suarez makes it 6-2 with a nice base hit. Streaming working for now.
Re: 9/1: Reds visiting the Bucs
Chris asks a good question: "Who on the Pirates, position by position, would start for the Reds?"
I've got McCutchen, and that's about it.

Yep. Their pitching staff is only marginally better.
Re: 9/1: Reds visiting the Bucs
Was Winker activated from the DL today? He is listed as available on Gameday.
Re: 9/1: Reds visiting the Bucs
You don't have to buy in all the way yet but ya gotta be encouraged by Castillo, Stephenson and Romano (and Mahle) over the last month. I know I'm a lot less discouraged about staff possibilities for 2018 than I was as July ended
Re: 9/1: Reds visiting the Bucs
Wow! Nice play by Suarez and Votto!

He was, according to the transactions page. Wonder what that's about. I imagine the expanded roster factors in somehow but I'm pretty sure Winker is still banged up
Re: 9/1: Reds visiting the Bucs
Late inning rallies are the Pirates forte.
