I went to bat for the reds and they go 0-fer. Figures.

My dreams of a red vs cardinals nlcs are still alive.

Reds fans of knowledge, query me this: why did they not start Shogo, given his hot bat the last three weeks?

And the hotshot shortstop?

Tough lefty on the mound Hack and Shogo is a lefty batter.
He will lead off today v the rookie righty

Why start a young hotshot SS when you can start a seldom used backup.....Catcher there instead?
 
No more lefty stud starters for Atlanta.
Lefty starters have always been the Reds krptonite.
Castillo going today and Gray in waiting for a potential gm 3.
As frustrating an L as yesterday was the Braves will start a 22 yr old rookie righty today v the veteran Castillo and his 3.27 ERA and the lefty laden Reds lineup:

The Braves looked like a t-ball team in the box yesterday. Kudos to Bauer and the rest of the Reds' staff...really neutralized Atlanta's big bats. Braves cannot have another game like that or the Reds will take advantage of it. Gotta wake up. That being said, is anyone else surprised they pitched to Freeman? I thought for sure they were going to walk him but I guess they preferred the L/L matchup.

Not really because there was only 1 out and Ozuna the hot righty bat was on deck and as you said lefty/lefty matchup with Garrett and Freeman. Plus a walk loads the bases and puts additional pressure on AG.
Unfortunately, it was the right call.

Right, but the only runner that matters is the one on third. I guess with Freeman and Ozuna it's a pick your poison type of scenario. Just thinking out loud.

I would have had Shogo in there over Winker. Winker has batted .100 over the last month while Shogo has been .300+ over the last month. Shogo has become an on base machine while Winker is ice cold.

Also you can't start Kyle Farmer in the playoffs over your every day SS who is a switch hitter. All of our big guns at the top of the order getting on base, then we have Farmer and Casali trying to knock them in at the bottom of the order...is anybody surprised that they don't knock them in? He's playing for the home run, when any runs will do.

*11th inning bases loaded with 2 outs: no runs
*12th inning first and third with no outs: no runs
*13th inning bases loaded with one out: no runs

That's loser-ific baseball if I've ever seen it.

Sorry for the rant...my Reds haven't been this good in a while and it feels like our manager is using us as an experiment haha.

I would have started Galvis as well but not Shogo v the tough lefty.

JUST STUPID!!!!
 
Hitting will be a problem next year as well and Bauer will be gone . Shogo was not worth 21 Million In fact they have minor leaguers who are better. Hopefully Moose and Catillanos will improve Votto has aged out and does not have either the defense or offense of the average first baseman Need right handed bat of Linder for next year! Right handed 1B to platoon with Joey. Senzel must have been weakened by Covid He should improve Finally Stephenson should become a fixture at catcher over next five years!
 
Baseball is the most boring game in sports.
Soccer is highly athletic but boring.
Why start a thread you want deleted in the title?
You can post some good threads. This is not one of them.
 
Nice to see the 1st place Flubbies not win a single post season game.
The Lovable Losers strike again!
David Ross needs to stick to goofy commercials! Bwah ha ha!!!
Cards will be next tonight!
I will see to it!
Bwah ha ha ha!!!
