IU Scott Posted May 17, 2023 Report Share Posted May 17, 2023 Since April 24th the Reds has the 5th best record in the NL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted May 17, 2023 Report Share Posted May 17, 2023 I would hate to be a pitcher pitching in Colorado. Reds had a 5-0 lead going to the bottom of the 5th but now trails 7-5 in the bottom of the 6th. It isn't just the home run that kills you there but it is just the amount of space in their outfield. The defense has to play so deep so a lot of bloop hits fall between the outfield. It is easier to take the extra base on a routine single.

Reds lose 11-6 giving up 5 in the 5th and 6 in the 6th inning. Was had the bases loaded and 1 out I'm the 9th and couldn't score. Pitching must be scarce because the Rockies just brought up a bullpen guy who had a 7.49 ERA and walked 16 batters in 17 innings. He came in the 9th and gave up 1 run and left with the bases loaded.

Stlboiler23 Posted May 18, 2023 Report Share Posted May 18, 2023 Here’s a trivia question for folks: Nolan Arenado just became the 3rd 3B to have 1,000 RBI’s and 300 HR’s prior to playing in 1,500 major league games. Who are the other two 3B who accomplished the same feat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted May 19, 2023 Report Share Posted May 19, 2023 Reds sign firmer Cubs pitcher Alec Mills to a minor league deal. I guess he has been dealing with a bad back for a couple of years and had back surgery last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
