On an Up Note

[Wonderful Monds]

I will dance around saying some of the new bullpen guys seem like they’re turning it around


I just don’t want to jinx it, because I know a few of us said the same thing about Hendrix and Hembree seeming like the answer a few games after they got called up, and well uh, lol

I don't think the bullpen woes need to be a fatal flaw. We've seen teams like the Braves in recent years completely overhaul their bullpen in-season, it comes down to whether the Reds are willing to be "buyers" or not come July. If they're still in the race they should be.

It feels like the offense is starting to really roll with the turn to the warm weather.

Mostly feel proud of this but to think I didn't even consider that the bullpen would just decide to stop being bad.

On an up note, my Brad Brach fan club is growing and accepting new members.

Grab a rose. Time for another "The Brachelor" watch party.

Start with the basics, I always say.

Back to back 2-1 wins on the road. Feels like it has been a quick minute or two since we have seen that from this team.

I'm in. A big league pitcher settled things down, not some unknown kid with a big arm? How is this possible?

Basic #1. Get rid of the turds.

They did start getting better when Antone hit the IL………

Tejay Antone will throw a bullpen on Friday and he could be activated as soon as Sunday, Reds manager David Bell said.

By the way, and I mentioned this in the game thread last night, many of you who do not follow the Orioles (and why would you) may not realize that for several years Brach was a fantastic late inning set-up guy for Zach Britton for the last decent Orioles teams 2014-2017. Like, a really super teriffic set-up guy. After he left Baltimore things fell apart for him a bit. But he's still just 35, he's had a LOT of success in the majors, and guys like him very often can re-find their mojo.

Here's his stats page if you need a refresher:

On an up note, we may have lucked into something with him.

On a personal up note, I might have gotten one right for once (quoted post was on June 16)

On an up note, they've matched their season high at four games over .500. Here's to hoping it goes better from here than the last time they got to four game over .500.

Ugh, I just read this and got excited...realized it was from the prior injury lol

Didn’t they start 6-1?

[membengal]

Did we? That was a long time ago. I amend my statement to since we went four over a few weeks ago and then things went henky.

Everytime i read a box score that Osich pitches in I wonder how the Reds signed an ostrich and did PETA object?

I lurk everyday folks and I work for tips.

Great. Don't go out in the rain without an umbrella.
