Dom Smith has done nothing. Rather they put Steer at 1st Benson in LF and Hinds in RF

And Benson has done so much?

[Ky Fried Redleg]

That could be the worst 7-8-9 in the history of 7-8-9's.

[Ironman92]

No excuses

[Tony Cloninger]

Let’s give some of these new pickups more than a few games to start doing something. We saw how little Hunter Renfroe and Harrison Bader did with not much more than a handful of AB. Now you go look what they are doing this year and you wish they could have convinced them to sign minor league contracts here.

That's nothing, look at this box score and don't retch

You have to stretch out a pitcher that is getting it done. Wasted 1+ pitcher yesterday

Alright, now I need to go look at what they ended up getting...


Bader got $10.5 million from the Mets and Renfroe got $5.5 million with a $7.5 million player option. Sheesh $23 million guaranteed for the two of them? Good for them.

Cruz Missile #1

[Ironman92]

Ok…good start. We continue to give up absolute rockets to lefties

Pretty frightful.

Fernando Cruz has been removed from consideration for YOUR 2025 CINCINNATI REDS.

[OldFashionedRed]

I say keep Cruz out there. Stop when the pitch county reaches 200. Maybe he'll learn something.

Has anyone gone from what looked the bullpen's filthiest option and possible closer to a guy that should be standing in the unemployment line as quickly as Fernando"I Can Hear the Drums" Cruz?
