    Re: 9-18-21 Reds vs Dodgers 2:10 pm

    Something that I'm seeing in replays is that the Reds are WAY out in front of pitches. As boring and cliche as Larkin is, he does talk about "staying back". If you do that, you have a better read on whether a pitch will end up in the strike zone. But, then you have to have the bat speed to still make contact. Maybe the guys are being encouraged to look at some 'imaginary spot' that's closer to the pitcher? Kinda' like in basketball when you're told to focus on something other than the front of the rim.

    Please, enough.

    This is one of the very top pitchers in baseball. Moose is a three time all star who’s been injured. Nobody else has hit him except for a walk and little dribbler that went for a hit.

    False. Not talking about the pitcher. Moose has no concept of what a strike is, at this point. It's not even about injury. He's swinging at literally everything. Yes, the pitcher is great, but a strike's a strike. Swing at strikes, and we'll go from there.

    3 innings, no hits, only 26 pitches thrown.

    Has been a three time all star is the key. Moose is not good right now and hasn't been good as a Red. Injured or not. Your man crush on Moose is strange.

    It'll be interesting to see what Gray does the second time thru the order, but he has been incredible so far.

    One of Webster's definitions of "slow" in it's new collegiate dictionary is "like or pertaining to Reds' infielder, Mike Moustakas."

    Seriously, I want the guy to be exceptional but I think the time for that has passed. As you mentioned, he's slow, undisciplined, and just seems lost and confused. I hope somehow it can turn around but it doesn't look promising. At this point, I think I would give Suarez his ABs .

    I like Gray driving up the pitch count for Scherzer.

    I assure you, Mike Moustakas has a concept of what a strike is.

    And the pitcher is not just some footnote. Scherzer makes most hitters look bad.

    This is the way tough playoff-type games go. Usually the pitchers make things very tough.

    India hit it almost where he hit it in the first inning, but a little harder and that results in a double.

    Gray out performing Scherzer and some of you can't stop posting about Moose's one AB

    Not a bad approach by Cast, hitting that to RF, just hung up there for third out.

    Reds getting a few baserunners, keep plugging away.
