Reds

[mrschwump]

Senzel back in there in LF batting 5th, Friedl playing RF and batting last. No Benson or Fraley.

Yeah, SMH with Senzel and Freidl's rag arm in RF. Wow.

 

[maysvilleky]

Senzel is the worst outfielder in baseball!

 

[jameslee32]

Anyone who has Baba O'Riley intro music is okay by me.

 

[kywildcatsfannumber1]

The ump behind home plate tonight is a complete ******* moron.

 

[jameslee32]

Reds 2nd half frustrations are boiling over tonight.

 

[jameslee32]

This lefty/righty bullshit with Friedl is even more frustrating to me than playing Senzel. That guy battles his ass off no matter who pitches.

 

[jameslee32]

Williamson spotted in the dugout talking to Freddie. Looks good to go after Covid.

 

[kywildcatsfannumber1]

Votto (40 today) & India in the lineup, Fraley leading off and Friedl 3rd.

 

[kywildcatsfannumber1]

India with a home run in first AB back, Benson HR as well.

 

[cole854]

Senzel and his .220 BA "hitting" fifth?! My god!

So? EDC hits 3rd or 4th the entire second half of the season at a .185 clip. He may be the most overhyped player ever. He's truly pathetic.

 

[kywildcatsfannumber1]

7-1 Reds, Cardinals held to 1 hit. Votto also with a home run in his return. Friedl HR, Benson 3 hits. Greene was good, 1 run unearned in 6 innings, 9 K's.

OT: Who is the blonde lady floating around the Reds dugout? Figure she must be a trainer of sorts.

For those keeping score, Friedl's HR was off the lefty.

I had to look this up a few weeks ago because she looks hot. She is the nutritionist for the players.

Lefty with a 2-11 record and ERA just south of 7.00 going for Tigers tonight. Another LHP who couldn't break a pane of glass means a steady diet of Senzel.

Appreciate it, thanks!

 

[mrschwump]

Good lord, no CES/Marte and Senzel batting second. Sigh.

Wow. It never ceases to amaze me.

 

[jameslee32]

Good lord, no CES/Marte and Senzel batting second. Sigh.

Hard to envision a case for starting Senzel with India and Fraley back as well as Steer being versatile enough to play 2nd, 3rd or the corner OF positions.

 

[jameslee32]

If he sticks, I do like India batting leadoff when Friedl doesn't but it's Bell overkill batting him 9th again.

 

[maysvilleky]

1 down…13 more.

Well the Reds finally got win 2. Problem is they have to now go 12-5 to even get to 14 wins since I posted on 9/5. Looking less likely that 86 wins will get that last spot.

Really need Arizona to go on a losing streak and the Reds do their jobs finally getting some players back healthy. Hopefully Marte is back soon after EDLC hit him in the face in warmups with the ball. Marlins have the Brewers right now. D'Backs have a big series this weekend vs the Cubs. Giants opponents in the last couple of weeks are brutal but what I fear about some of these teams that have clinched are starting to rest players like the Dodgers who they face down the stretch.

 

[M4CAT]

Marte returns to score the go-ahead run in extras off a Stephenson single.
6-5 Reds victory. Former Tiger Buck Farmer with the save.

 

[jameslee32]

Reds pull out another road win while the Dbacks and Marlins are losing.

 

[kywildcatsfannumber1]

Reds bullpen did their job tonight picking up 6 innings only allowing 2 hits and no walks!

 

[jameslee32]

D-Backs and Marlins both lost while the Cubs and Giants are both losing. Right now the Reds are 1 game behind AZ for the 3rd WC spot and 3.5 games behind the Cubs.

That's a huge effort this late in the season. Need Connor Phillips to be much better than his 1st game vs Detroit. Eduardo Rodriguez going for Detroit.

 

[kybloo92]

Of all the crazy lineups the Reds have sent out there this year, I do like the gumption to throw Steer in RF for a game. With Marte coming back in late in the game, whenever McLain returns it will be interesting to see how the infield will be with India back now too.

Unfortunately, I don't think we will see McClain the rest of the season. Most reports are saying he is finished.

Yeah, his injury is the type that can linger. Best to move on, let him heal.

report I saw on the Reds Site is that he's supposed to start taking some BP on the 18th in hopes he can get back by the end of the season and maybe be available for the playoffs if they make it.

Nice extra inning win last night.

3 down…11 more at least.

 

[mrschwump]

Benson gets 3 extra base hits Sat or Sun.....and sits for 3 days. TS with game winner last night...and sits tonight. Bell managing like there's 200 games left.

 

[Crazycat68]

14-16 win range would put them at a good pace compared with the other 3 teams who are in a similar spot record wise for issues of their own while battling out for the last Wild Card spot assuming Chicago & Philadelphia aren't going to slow down. Will need some luck with the rest of those teams losing down the stretch. Marlins lost their reigning Cy Young Award winner Alcantara even though he was struggling this year. Marlins, Giants & D'Backs all have a brutal schedule compared to the Reds to finish 2023.

At least Hunter Greene will be back and need him to pitch like he did vs San Francisco. One would assume that also means Lively & Williamson are returning soon. The ones to worry about getting healthy in time are Ashcraft and need Matt McLain in the lineup. Stephenson, Marte & CES have been better at the plate recently and getting India & McLain back would be a huge boost for the depth of this team.

Cubs look like they have hit a little rut. Hopefully we can get Ashcraft and McClain back and see what happens. This team is fighting like crazy.

 

[Crazycat68]

Yeah, SMH with Senzel and Freidl's rag arm in RF. Wow.

Senzel is a singles machine 2 out of 10 lol. Gets hurt if 100 FB wind passes 3 feet by him.

 

[Crazycat68]

Yeeeess.
Why in the heck did he ever move him.

 

[assistbyhawkins]

Bell just inserted a pinch runner on a 3-2 count. In the middle of an at bat, not sure Ive ever seen that. And it was CES that he took out that was 1 for 2 with a walk and a run scored.

 

[kywildcatsfannumber1]

Antone leaving the game with an apparent injury.

Whether McLain returns this year or 2024, haven't seen anything concrete that suggests his season is done yet especially if they do make it to the postseason he could be back in time for then. It will still be interesting to see how this lineup will unfold with a full deck now that the infielders of the future have arrived. Not in the camp that believes or wants India to get traded over the offseason. His leadership qualities to this team are vastly underrated. Much better team when he is on the field.
