    Re: Reds vs Tigers 7-24-20 Opening Day

    Need to ask this again, because I have clearly let an important detail slip, were they calling balls and strikes electronically tonight?

    I wasn't sure they'd gotten the system in place. If they didn't, that was the best job of calling balls and strikes in history. But I feel like it must have been a gift from our new robot overlords. And I'd just like to say thank you for that.

    No automated strike zone tonight that I know of

    Pretty good for a “ margin thin bullpen”.

    I didn't think so, but then Larry Vanover didn't miss a pitch. Had it down to the millimeter.

    I think Castellanos is going to improve his defense and be just fine. He's not slow like some lumbering slugger along the lines of Mark Trumbo, Pete Incaviglia, Richie Sexson or even Jesse Winker. Senzel will end up being above average in CF. If they can limit Winker and Ervin to DH, the defense will be plenty good enough IMO.
    All my posts are my opinion - just like yours are. If I forget to state it and you're too dense to see the obvious, look here!

    I saw this quote and thought they already allowed some runs or were close to blowing the lead. Yet nothing even remotely close to that happened and you’re already whining over nothing before the bullpen even had an inning in during the first game of the season?

    Not to mention that the Tigers got to see Sims/Jones/Raley last night.

    It's not like they were seeing the best we have to offer there.

    Yet considered by fangraphs to be one of the top bullpens in the league.

    Fangraphs ranked them 15th out of 30. With 16 play-off teams, that should be good enough to make the play-offs. Of course almost every team that isn't tanking is going to make it.

    The bullpen didn't give up a hit in 3 innings.
