MLB ghost runner rule: League makes extra-innings change permanent for regular-season games, per report
Every regular season half-inning in extras will automatically start with a runner on second base

I'm old school but I understand how this can speed up the game and save your pitching staff. A 10 inning game can turn into an 18 inning game in a heartbeat, burning your bullpen for a week. This should lessen the chance of that happening.MLB ghost runner rule: League makes extra-innings change permanent for regular-season games, per report

Norris may be able to break a window pane on a good day with significant wind behind him. This guy's velo makes Minor look like Hader.

I don't subscribe to the Enquirer but saw an article about Senzel thinks he's made another change to his swing as if that is going to change his fortunes. It will be a mistake not to start Benson in CF and he has started several games in all 3 OF positions throughout his career. He reminds me skillset wise of an Adam Jones. Doubt he's as good as Jones but has the power, speed and defense to deserve opportunities over some of these guys. Not sure why people act like it has to be Friedl out there in CF. Some of his defense down the stretch, especially in Wrigley concerns me.
Agree re Freidl, he lacks arm strength to play anywhere but LF...for the Bats. '23 is going to be nothing more than a continuation of '22.
They really have no choice but to trot out Benson in CF if they want to accomplish anything in 2023 towards rebuilding for the future. Anything less with Senzel or Friedl will be a disappointment. I know back in early September I was one of them that ignorantly thought Friedl was worthy of a starting role for a team in a rebuild only but the offensive numbers declined and lack of range defensively for CF not to mention the logjam of corner outfielders. He can be the 1st guy called up out of Louisville for an outfield injury but that really is his ceiling. Would be like the Reds though to opt with Friedl in CF to start and pray for it not to be Senzel later when Votto is back and pushes Myers into RF if Wil has to fill-in at 1B if Votto misses time to start the season.
Reds pissed away an off season of winter ball by not moving at least one of their 32 SSs to CF. SMH.
It's amazing their idea of 'position versatility' was to move Marte from SS to 3B and the infield to outfield transition Rece Hinds who even blog Reds nation writers won't help solve that problem in 2023.

Yeah, I'm wondering the same where I live too. Televised ST games start in a few weeks, maybe that'll give us a clue.
So How much longer are we going to have to put up with David Bell too? How much of the 100 losses are on him? Despite the roster, are their Managers out there who could have gotten a lot more of of last years team?
I'm not a big David Bell fan but there's not a manager out there they could have gotten much more out of that roster we have. This is 99.9% on the ownership. It's just pathetic how they have let this great franchise fall.
While Bell will never be confused with Sparky, he's down the list with what's wrong with the Reds. He's been given very little to work with. It's stunning what little was done in the off season to improve a 100 loss team.
It looks like their may be hope for local cable providers getting rights to the games according to Manfred who is looking to make them available. Still no final word as to what cable channel(s) will pick them up. I'm glad to see the MLB.TV package will offer the games that are in the local market during all of this. When it comes to watching other sports and the Reds at the same time it was impossible with the garbage Bally Sports app.
Rob Manfred says MLB will handle team broadcasts if Bally Sports networks miss payments
The company that owns the Bally Sports networks is reportedly on the verge of bankruptcy.
I would keep Bell at least through the point they decide to rebuild at MLB level with the next round of prospects reach Cincinnati out of AAA/AA your ELDC, McLain, Williamson, Petty, Marte so forth. This Reds team would contend at the AAA level but will never get over the hump regardless of the manager with the lack of commitment the FO puts into building a winner on the field. Going into the 18th season with the Castellini's and no better off today than they were when Carl Lindner sold the Reds after 2005.
Agree that Bell is too often made the scapegoat and the easy one to fall on the sword with the lack of accountability the front office has for their role in the Reds decline. It's been spiraling downward since Marge Schott lost this team letting her mouth overload her ass and Carl Linder did nothing to help this team, still paying Ken Griffey Jr. $3.5 million through 2024.
TySteve plan is to catch 65 games, DH and 1B for the rest. Not sure how I feel about it. I guess my issue is we still don't have a true catcher. Casali is a stop gap option.
It's a good plan, save his knees and eventually move him from behind the plate as arguably this team's best hitter. Between him and India as the best hitters in the lineup. The Reds can't afford to see him forced into an early retirement with the daily grind behind the plate plus his shoulder held together by screws. They never planned to spend big for any one position and content with the plan of Casali & Maile as veteran catchers working with a young pitching staff than the joke MILB catchers the Reds had as the backup option for Stephenson in 2022.

Well I definitely agree Casali and Maile as our battery is better than who we've got waiting in the wings. But still not a long term solution. Is TySteve's future being Votto's replacement at 1B?
I don't think the Reds view them as long term options, just backups to Stephenson when he's not catching to help the young pitching staff with who they can afford right now until Miller, Nelson, Tanner or Vellojin arrive to Cincinnati. Long term I believe CES is the 1B and Stephenson at DH, too many infield options to keep him at 3B with Steer, India, McLain, Arroyo, Marte, ELDC. It's BS that none of them are learning to transition to the outfield right now with this logjam and drafting 2 3B in the 1st Round in 2022.
Surely one of those infielders are athletic enough to play the infield/outfield like Trevor Story, Jeff McNeill and when the Cubs used Bryant at 3B/LF. The one player the Reds are moving from the infield to the outfield, Rece Hinds is not helping the Reds in 2023 and if he ever reaches MLB doubt he's a contributor in 2024 either.

Especially with a veteran starter. When you have young pitchers with an injury history, then a flame thrower like Greene you better have someone good enough to skip a start. Can't believe some are still shitting on Overton in favor of a Luke Weaver. While he certainly regresses, the guy is good enough to start or pick up the role Hoffman had when a starter gets run out of the game in a long relief role. If Benson isn't starting in CF then add that position to the list as well.
The Reds will likely slow walk those catching prospects for at least another 2 years. It's a risky plan expecting Stephenson to stay healthy long enough to carry the load behind the plate by the time they are ready to take over. Cincinnati may be better off making a trade for another Ramon Hernandez that helped the Reds in a transition year in 2009 before winning the NL Central the following year. A catcher who was both experienced, productive and not completely washed up. I get it in 2023 the Reds couldn't afford to go after Contreras or even Barnhart but should look to upgrade slightly who will be 35 in November. No guarantee he plays beyond this year.
You still need a cheap option behind the plate in the meantime that is experienced to take the grind off your starting catcher. Hell the Astros had 3 catchers with experience, Vazquez, Castro & Maldonado all quality backstops but none on the level of Contreras, Kirk, Realmuto or Will Smith. Hanigan was the perfect catcher backing up Hernandez as well as David Ross & Paul Bako and staying on until Mesoraco broke through as an All-Star.
I say keep Bell through this ugly rebuild while wasting time with rejects like Senzel still and time for a new voice in the locker room. The FO will always be the cause of the Reds shortcomings. Every manager that the Reds have fired can all say they were given little to work with. We all know this and nothing can be done about it unless the rest of the owners hold the commissioners feet to the fire and assign someone to step in like the NBA did with Jerry Colangelo in Philadelphia.
Bell IMO hasn't really done anything exceptional during the 1 year + 2 months the Reds were above .500 to warrant keeping around for a new group of players going forward. Dusty Baker was fired for accomplishing way more here. If somehow the Reds play .480 ball then I'll consider that progress for Reds standards to keep Bell around longer but don't think the Reds get close to that as long as the top prospects are kept in the minors considering they just lost 100, .383%.

Would like to know how this helps the Reds build for the future? Pitchers like Ricky Karcher, Ryan Nutof & Pedro Garcia are way more deserving. Just more wasteful spending by pitchers who did nothing but give the Reds warm bodies in the bullpen in 2022.
