Ryan doesn't walk guys while still getting Ks. The reason his ERA is in the 4s is because he gives up a lot of HR. Not the Reds strong suit, but I like this line-up against him. Best hitters in the top 4 with a lot of power potential off a homer prone guy from 6 through 9. This team shouldn't be going up there to take today. If you get a pitch to drive, don't take it and fall behind in the count. I think some of these hitters aren't as much selective as they are just taking pitches no matter where they are to show that they see more pitches.

I like it to, other than CES not in the lineup with his recent power surge but obviously you can’t play everyone.Originally Posted by mth123
I think your spot on with the hitting approach vs this guy
Looks like a win to me!!

I'm far from subtle, but I'm working on it
It’s time for a winning streak at home. Reds haven’t won as much at GABP as they should. They got Twins and Pirates, 4 of 6 is a must, 5 of 6 would be excellent.
Would going 7 and 4 be enough? That would be winning 2 of 3 from Minnesota, Pittsburgh and St.louis. splitting the 2 game series with Cleveland.
Pretty good inning there

Not sure about Friedl swinging at the first pitch like that
Late enough in the year so no sunshine in LF at 6:40!
He has good stuff. Just needs expirence. Not ready yet. But they have no other options. I'd much rather see him get innings over guys like Weaver.
