Swings at ball 4 then watches strike 3 right down the middle.

The Reds really need to make Kopech pay for this early wildness, like many, many runs this inning.

Just sit him down. He’s freaking pathetic.

Well, that was disappointing

Oy, I have a feeling this inning is going to haunt the Reds later in the game.

Not getting more there is typically something that comes back to bite us later.
The middle of the lineup isn't good. Too bad there isn't any help in the minors.
Sure would be nice to see Stephenson get it going, soon. Maybe he should have a few days lower in the order giving someone else a chance to drive in Runs. He's not even coming close to handling the middle of the order.
"One problem with people who have no vices is that they're pretty sure to have some annoying virtues."
Bell takes every opportunity to sit a player so he can let everybody play. If a player gets a headache he will set for 3 days so some bench guy can get some ABs.
No excuse for letting him off the hook. He was about to walk off the field in shame.
Then Tyler does what Tyler does, our 63 year old journeyman OF sneezes on one and Senzel jumps on the first pitch and ends the inning.
It’s like they’re allergic to success.

But, if they are flying, why do they need the streets closed down?

Who's more productive?
Fraley when he's scratched, or Stephenson when he's not?

He isn’t a middle of the order hitter but is there because there is nobody else. I think he will eventually be 6 or 7 if the prospects in the minors come through.
