2020 Playoff Push

[Reds Freak]

Hopefully the fact that the Reds face a starter tonight that has thrown less than 4 innings above A ball helps get the offense humming down the stretch. Suarez coming back would also be huge.

A little odd that we're less than eight hours from first pitch and Reds haven't announced a starter for tonight, or the rest of the series for that matter.

They are a disciplined, well managed team. I don’t think the packed schedule will be a problem for them. The Reds on the other hand just swept a 4 game series against a terrible Pirates team, and they didn’t do it commandingly: the offense still looks very weak. And six out of the last 9 games are against good, well managed AL teams. I’m much more worried about the Reds schedule than the Cards.

We outscored the Pirates 17-6!!!! That's pretty commanding. The Pirates only led once at the end of any inning.

The Cards look anything like a disciplined well managed team. Their coach is an absolute clown who spends the majority of his time kissing Molina's a$$.

Sonny Gray certainly adds to the uncertainty, but I would imagine the biggest decision is around Lorenzen or DeSclafani. As I have said numerous times in this thread, I think it is an easy decision, but the Reds certainly have more data than I.

From Nightengale Twitter:

Tyler Mahle will start tonight's game vs. White Sox. Eugenio Suárez is back from paternity leave. #Reds

Pfft. That's not even 3:1.

The Reds went 7-3 against the Pirates, the disciplined, well managed Cardinals so far are just 2-4 against them.

The Cardinals special vitamins seem to have not made it to the clubhouse - yes I'm still upset over a certain slugger cheating 20 plus years ago and being made a national hero, a "young 1b" seeming to play with Bondsian ability and then leaving the middle of the country and becoming Clark Kent and a certain "ageless" catcher whom I despise. I hope they lose every single game the rest of this year and forever.

I haven't had a good anti-Cardinal rant in a few months, I feel better now.

David Bell said Sonny Gray could return from IL and start in the next series vs. Brewers. And that Trevor Bauer could start on short rest for his next start depending on how things look after this weekend. So it's possible he makes 3 more starts this year. #Reds

I don't think Disco is 100% healthy. Wouldn't mind them using him out of the bullpen for the rest of the year. His stuff should play up there.

Leadoff HR by Wong for the Cardinals in the double header against Pittsburgh. Boy the Pirates stink.

I am in central Ohio and MLB Network showing the Phillies / Blue Jays game. Just now started.

Three straight walks to load the bases in the bottom of the first by the pirates and the next hitter (Polanco) swings at the first pitch and makes an out. This is why the Pirates suck.
