9-27 20 Reds @ Twins

Right, but AA has been the subject of much discussion. That discussion wasn’t about decent. It was about starting quality.

Personally, I’m disappointed with AA offensively and defensively. Given his age and extensive minor league career, I’m ready to move on.

My point is that the Reds trying to fix him is the problem. I agree it’s time to move on, but that is mostly because the Reds have handled him poorly.

I would not be surprised to see him become something like EE in a few years.

I’d like the Reds to fill every open offensive slot with a higher BA type player. Includes Galvis

I would too. Just don't know that I trust them to get such players.

[Kc61]

Reds probably assume that Garcia is the future at SS, so you don't want a long term guy. You need a transition guy. Galvis for a couple mill might work.

Not at shortstop. Reds obviously don’t think Freddy can handle shortstop now. They like Farmer’s defense better.

If Galvis comes back it will be utility mostly playing second base.

[Kc61]

I would too. Just don't know that I trust them to get such players.

Well, I think that should and will be the effort. To round out the offense.

Whether they succeed, who knows.

I don’t see Galvis as the type hitter they need, but he’s a good player so he’ll wind up somewhere, if not with the Reds.

Suarez takes a season's worth of frustration out on his bat. And knee. Hope that didn't injure him.

Gonna be quick work for the Dodgers

I look at the NL and see LA, ATL, CIN and MIL as the teams that have the best chance of going to the WS.

Milwaukee can severely shorten a game with Williams/Hader in the pen. Buehler is starting Game 1 for LA and it’s not like he has been dependable.

I do think Milwaukee has the pitching parts to contend but it will take some creativity.

1. I specifically said he wasn’t special, just possibly decent.
2. He put up solid numbers in rookie ball and single A, well over .800 OPS
3. The ball wasn’t juiced. It was the same ball they use in the majors.
4. Tie Game!

The ball they were using in the majors was juiced. Same as the juiced ball they were using in the minors.

I feel like that’s pretty much accepted as fact at this point.

My point is that the Reds trying to fix him is the problem.

And we're trying to tell you you're wrong. Reds didn't try to fix him until he had a problem. The Reds have actually handled it pretty well.

[JaxRed]

Where was that guy who complained about Antone?

[The Operator]

Garver, batting .157, with a leadoff single


AG on the hill

He had a “problem” for 10 games. The Reds overreacted, imo. And there’s no way to know who is right or wrong here, it’s all just speculation.

AG on the hill

Hopefully. in a relatively meaningless game, I was afraid it might be Amir today.

[TexasRedsFan]

Hope Geno carries that frustration into postseason as extra motivation.

[The Operator]

Ah, the old “They’re Independent Contractors” thing.

Great way for huge, billion dollar organizations like The Reds to get around providing benefits to their workers.

[The Operator]

Oh for the absolute love

Garrett can’t make the throw to 2nd, everybody safe
