I wish Barrero was up and Farmer could spell guys around the IF as a utility man. /sigh

What does everyone think about Castellanos? Will we see Castellanos hit like he did before getting hit against the Brewers again this season?
Don't get me wrong he is still very good. But we need the old Castellanos back. Brewers knew what they were doing.
Vegas has Wheeler Over/Under 7.5 strikeouts
Vegas is dirty….it’ll be close. I’ll take the over
He was showing signs the game I attended last Saturday. Took a pitch mostly down the middle, a bit to the outer portion and drove it over the RF fence 20 ft from foul pole….beautiful swing. Next AB ripped a pull shot down LF line but was robbed of a double….later in game hit one hard the RF just got to. His swings were good!
Seems like teams recently have been throwing the Reds pitch after pitch that aren’t quite getting there and Reds are wailing a bit and looking bad….Nick is in this group. Not sure how the Phillies will attack us but something to watch.
I think he’s ok but pitchers are pitching him well. As is I’d like to see him a tiny bit up in the box….at least how the Braves pitched him

Didn't realize Wheeler is pitching tonight. He's been lights out lately. A true test for our Redlegs.
FWIW Castellanos, Votto, and Moustakas have all hit Wheeler well in limited appearances. This may be an upgraded model.
Phils lineup (obviously) relies heavily on Harper and Mahle destroys LHB. So there’s that. Would be nice to get this one. I don’t love the Gray v. Nola matchup on Sunday.
As for O/U 7.5 Ks for Wheeler… the only way he doesn’t get there is if we run him early. Even 6 IP 4 ER likely comes with 8 Ks against this lineup.
