Reds @ Cubs 9-10-20

Lefty coming in. Hopefully Bell can resist the urge to tinker in the 4th inning.

Here's another chance for a run that good teams will pick up with runner on 3rd and 1 out. Niko makes a good play to keep Shogo at 3rd for another pitcher to try and strand.

Historically a run scores with a runner on third and less than two outs about. 50% of the time.

I believe with the increase in K’s that number is decreasing.

But I doubt any team, whether they are good or not, does it exceptionally more than 50%.

I like the at-bats Goodwin provides. Even when he doesn't reach, he makes the pitcher work.

Goodwin has played more against RHP in his career, but has a higher OPS against lefties.

Oh no, some inside pitches to a Cub.

Prepare for whining.

[adkindo]

they are going to delay this game soon

Reds should bunt the 1st pitch back to the pitcher next inning.
If u “really” care about getting a win.

Sonny not looking like he's gonna go deep in this one unfortunately.

His extremely long stride not benefitting him on the wet mound

...what

[Ironman92]

Tough luck but also good base running

1st base was not an option?

I don’t think so and throwing that wet ball likely not going to work out well

[podgejeff_]

Well, that could have been worse, I guess.

2nd base-running mistake by Contreras!
