Re: 9-17-17 Reds vs Pirates
Almost a Sunday Special lineup, but not quite. Close, though.

I don't see anything wrong with the lineup, I kinda like it.

The only non-regular is Vincej?

Re: 9-17-17 Reds vs Pirates
Today I'm watching the TV broadcast, and yesterday I listened to the radio broadcast as I was travelling home from Athens after watching the Bobcats thrash the Kansas Jayhawks.
I have to say that my preferred broadcast duos are:
TV: Jim Day & Chris Welsh
Radio: Jim Kelch & Jeff Brantley
I'm ready to completely separate from the Brennaman clan.
-
Re: 9-17-17 Reds vs Pirates
Took 23 pitches but a scoreless first for Bob with 2 strikeouts and a walk.
-
Re: 9-17-17 Reds vs Pirates
It looked like his FB was staying high and to the right consistently. I've heard people say that was not finishing. I think that means following through. Let's see if it is corrected next inning.

Re: 9-17-17 Reds vs Pirates
What's with some of the Reds wearing white shoes?
Not a fan. I think that the team shoe should be the same color. Maybe not the same manufacturer, as I realize that players have shoe contracts, but the same color (including trim).

Looking like one of those meaningless, get away day games that moves along quickly.

Re: 9-17-17 Reds vs Pirates
Great work for the continually improving Stephenson.

Jim Day is likable enough but his PBP chops need improved. Odd phrasing and pacing and a lack of smooth transitions to Welsh. I'd prefer bland Kelch to Day right now but let's see if Day can improve.

I have Kelch working radio with Brantley because he and Cowboy seem to have good chemistry. JD is inexperienced, but he comes across as sincere, and I think he will improve.

Re: 9-17-17 Reds vs Pirates
Anyone think Tucker has a legit shot at a gold glove?
-
Re: 9-17-17 Reds vs Pirates
Suarez has done a great job improving his OBP this year but he has been swinging at some bad pitches lately. Like Duvall bad. Just uncharacteristic for him.
-
Re: 9-17-17 Reds vs Pirates
I know he's not but it does feel like Duvall has been 0 for September.

Robert Stephenson ERA against the Pirates: 3.15

I think he is deserving. Far and away best caught stealing in NL and that with young, inexperienced pitchers most of the way. High on my list of extension candidates.

The Reds' TV crew only ranks about average when compared to other MLB clubs I've watched. Lots of bad ones out there. On radio, since I cannot see the action, I don't like Kelch because his voice just irritates me so much, I can't listen, and although Brantley is improving his pbp, he is best as a color man. Marty is Marty, but I really know what's going on in the game when he's not pontificating about one thing or another. I enjoy guys that entertain me because I'm only listening when I'm in the car. John Sterling of the Yankees ranks high for me too.

I've been saying this for awhile. Do not judge Reds pitching when it comes to the Pirates. They're averaging less that 2 runs offensive this month and barely 2 since the middle of August. Yes, the kids look good, but consider who they're playing.

Yeah but he's a Pirates fan and you're a pessimist.

Re: 9-17-17 Reds vs Pirates
K #8 for Bob, 4th in a row.

Re: 9-17-17 Reds vs Pirates
Winker Suarez Votto. Sounds good to me. Scott can play CF at GABP at least to make up for any pace and coverage he may lack elsewhere.
SG has a chance at 30 - 100 and .300.

Re: 9-17-17 Reds vs Pirates
Half those RBIs came on walks.
