    Wonder if he’s tipping pitches.

    Lodolo is a 3 in an average rotation. Abbott a 4/5. They desperately need another good starter to compete next year.

    So please join me in welcoming back Mr. Frankie Montas.

    It's not going to matter anyway if they can't even make hard contact against a dude that has been hammered all year.

    I don’t think so. He just has zero fastball command. Missing right over the plate. Curveball lacks bite. Change up is drifting away and out of the zone to RHB.

    The only pitch that looks good is the sinker and he won’t throw it. Just a bad night.

    The flatness of his breaking ball is costing him. He’s a strikeout pitcher whose strikeout pitch is worthless right now. He’s grasping.

    I think Hendricks has always had the Reds number. So this should be no surprise.

    Yeah, I’ve seen enough. This is pathetic. Those of you who want to stick around, post hard and post well.

    So far, the pitcher with a record of 2-9 and a 6.92 ERA has started the game with ten consecutive outs. But I’m being negative by stating facts. Hoping they turn this game around but things ain’t looking so good at the moment.

    That’s now 10 outs between 2nd and 3rd for Elly. I love Elly, but Jeesh. That’s unacceptable

    I’m out. Have a great night everyone!

    Yeah, not sure why you steal there with two outs. A hit scores you regardless. Maybe hoping for a wild pitch?? IDK, probably just more a case of this team having zero guidance and direction.

    Lodolo with a 1-2-3 inning. Reds need to score at least two in this inning.
