Wouldn't this be a sweet spot for Pena's first HR of the year?

Jay Bruce makes me sad.
Rounding third and heading for home...
We're still bad, tough loss.

ground hog day....
1st pick of the 2023 baseball amateur draft
An excellent outing by Lamb wasted.
Horse crap
I know the game meant nothing, but I just hate to see after seeing what he has done lately (ERA up over 50 points from 1.80 to 2.30) in few innings trusting him in a one-run game. Reds lose, but it was an easy prediction. September is 5 innings, five hits, five runs, five walks, and 8 K's. ERA? 8.84, and that was before tonight. Thanks for your earlier work, JJ, but see you in February or somewhere else.

Wrong. Heck, just looking month to month (which is a poor way to break it down IMO...but it's easy).
April (8.2 ip / 5.19 era) - one bad game in Milw. did him in here.
May (12.0 ip / 0.00 era)
June (14.2 ip / 0.61 era)
July(10.0 ip / 3.60 era) - 2 bad outings, 8 scoreless games
Aug (11.2 ip / 0.77 era) - 1 solo HR only run all month
Sept (5.1 ip / 8.44 era) - not counting tonight
Outside of one game in April and 2 back to back games in July he's been fantastic this season...until September.

Oh. Negron's out too? I missed both of those DL's.
He obviously is trending downward (Hoover), but you can use statistics all you want about JJ to prove he is good, but lately you can use statistics to prove you can't trust him in a close game. It's kind of like, "it's not what you've done for me, but what haveyou done for me lately?"

Don't get me wrong. I don't trust him either. I thought he should've been dealt at the trade deadline when he was at his highest value because I fully expected him to fall off a cliff (same as Frazier).
But guys are saying he's garbage and that he's been bad this year. And that's simply not true. I don't want to see him on the club moving forward but I also have to acknowledge that up until September he's had a VERY nice season. This month has been a dumpster fire for sure.
Technically, neither is on the DL, though Negrón is out for the year. He separated his shoulder and tore his labrum in his left (non-throwing) arm on a diving catch in LF the first night he returned from Louisville. I think they said 6-8 months.
Hamilton and LaMarre are out indefinitely.
