9/26/2019 And This One Belongs to Marty

[cumberlandreds]

Reds go out in the 4th. 4-1 Brewers.

[TheBigLebowski]

This is the only Reds game I've cared about in well over month, and they're out there being their usual keystone cop selves.

And no, Luis is no ace. Long way to go.

Marty going scorched earth on MLB turning a blind eye on McGwire Sosa.

Yeah if he were an ace VanMeter would have made that catch.

[cumberlandreds]

Yeah if he were an ace VanMeter would have made that catch.

If he were an ace he wouldn't have walked three in a row.

Its 5-1 now VM bobbles another ball but did throw out a runner at 2nd.

5-1 Brewers half way through this one.

[RedseatHR]

JVM making a strong case to play second base next year

[Tom Servo]

If he were an ace he wouldn't have walked three in a row.

He didn’t walk three in a row actually, but I’m actually not arguing that he is an ace. I actually hate the whole “ace” argument. I just see Castillo getting raked over the coals for what should have been a scoreless inning.

[adkindo]

not sure I would decide on anyone being or not being an ace based on games this week

[cumberlandreds]

He walked three in the inning. No pitcher can expect not get away with an inning like that at the big league level. No matter if an error(s) are involved.

[cumberlandreds]

After five, its still 5-1 Brewers.

[Tom Servo]

In the inning ≠ in a row. And yeah it is objectively Not Good to walk the bases loaded. But walks aren’t runs until the runners cross the plate, and they crossed the plate because JVM muffed a fairly easy play. Castillo has been responsible for some real stinkers in the 2nd half, on this one he’s a victim of circumstance.

[cumberlandreds]

Gausman into the game.

[Danny Serafini]

Gausman in to pitch, O'Grady to left in the double switch, VanMeter out

If he doesn't walk those hitters the error by VM never happens either. That's the other way to look at it too.

There were no errors involved, it has been a generous scoring day for defenders today with the exception of the one charged when the Milw 2nd baseman he didn't even touch a blooper.
