Reds vs. Giants 5-5-19 Cinco de Castillo

[Ironman92]

MLB pitchers are MLB pitchers. Amir was so damn sharp. Wanna list the pitchers who were LH and pitching sharp and were also dominant vs RH hitters? Puig was hitting missiles 18 hours ago but comes into a right/lefty matchup and looked awful.

I can tell you right now Dietrich doesn’t care what hand the pitcher is throwing with after hitting 2 3 run HR

Amir was pinpoint....why even think of removing him? Why? Because numbers? Numbers represent his tendencies over his career but how often does he look like prime David Price? Kyle Hendricks just threw an 81 pitch complete game and fastest pitch was 88. When you are on...you are tough and that goes for every MLB player. We love to take the unknown that hasn’t been in the game and assume he’s going to be great like who he’s replacing.

Bell was 0-2 the last few games in removing the “on” players from the game

Stop it.

I’ve missed the past few games - is Robert Stephenson hurt or something?

I think he might be hurt now picking splinters out of his butt

Not trusted like Zach Duke the ace.

The RZ natives are restless.

Is this a bumped post from 2002? Or 2003. 04. 05.

THom has no concept of baseball mythos.

He was, no doubt, the kid picking dandelions in RF while the game was going on when he was a kid.

or thinking about the spring green/blue game. or the red/yellow summer football game between tech university and college state. anything but america's pastime.

The internet was down at the condo today due to the storms in the area. No cellular service either, so no MLBtv to watch the game. Finally got it back this evening and saw the score. To be frank, I didn't miss the stress of Bell's 50 moves a game. He drives people nuts. I had hoped that the Reds would do the smart thing and hire someone with experience, but no. They hired someone who had never been a manager. I had hoped for the former Yankee manager, but he must have seen the fact if you don't have Cincinnati ties, you have no chance. Dusty wins, but we get Price who had not managed. Price is horrible, but instead of learning their lesson, they hire Bell, who has no experience, but ties to the front office. It's a viscous cycle and I don't see it ending anytime soon, and it hurts.

[Sea Ray]

it is like Bell has zero natural feel for a game....and just read a book on what to do...

I'm not a fan of how Bell manages but this game is not on him. You can't go from the end of the first inning till 2 outs in the ninth between hits and expect to win. That's on the players

The game could be on both the players and Bell.

I agree the offense has to do more, but what is the reason in taking out Garrett when he is dealing without a hint of an issue? Odds are really high we win that game if he leaves Garrett in for the final 2 outs.

I am comfortably numb now and ready for the rest of the season in which I will not be disappointed if they fail to lose less than 90 games.

If you're referencing Girardi, he withdrew his name.

If you're referencing Gerardo, the Latin Pop Sensation, God Bless you.

I don’t have access to a TV or a radio here at work, but I would like to know if Marty or a TV announcer will ask Bell about benching Puig today.
“I am giving him a day off” would be an UNACCEPTABLE answer.

This is the most ridiculous post I have ever seen here.
