Been wondering what the Reds were going to do when guys got healthy. Senzel, Meyers, Fraley and Votto. I thought Hopkins and Barrero would go but after that I am not sure. Also hopefully they call up Encarscion-Strand up soon  I think Fairchild and Newman has earned a roster spot and Benson has played better lately. With them not playing Stephenson at 1st I would think they don't need 3 catchers any longer.

I am afraid you bring him back and start him he could hurt the lineup more than help it. I rather see Encarscion-Strand up over Votto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted June 17, 2023 Report Share Posted June 17, 2023 They were talking on DP this morning about what do you do with Ohtani/Angels? Right now they would be in playoffs....but from an organization standpoint what do you do? Let it play out and get nothing for him in what could be a generational haul with right organization? Trade him and ultimately white flag the season? Tough spot. If I were GM you have to say what's the number. Find out if you can do that and if you can't....you have to trade him for prospects or whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proud2BAHoosier Posted June 17, 2023 Report Share Posted June 17, 2023 Yanks and Red Sawks in a real dogfight...... Bottom 4th and the Sawks lead 10-1, German gave up 7 runs in 2 innings pitched.... Ugghhh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted June 17, 2023 Report Share Posted June 17, 2023 Reds beat the Astros 2-1 in a really good pitching dual. Abbott went 6 scoreless innings becoming only the second starting pitcher since 1901 to start the their career with 3 scoreless starts. Reds scored both of their runs in the 7th inning and the Astros scored once in the 9th off of Diaz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jv1972iu Posted June 17, 2023 Report Share Posted June 17, 2023 (edited) Reds will dump one of the lesser guys who has experience, ie. Myers or Casali/Maile. I'd prefer Myers, I think. Let Votto play 1st some, DH and pinch hit. I wouldn't mess with things too much since it's going well. Bell has been playing musical chairs and should just keep doing that while working Votto in. I like three catchers, though neither Casali nor Maile can hit much.

5fouls Posted June 17, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2023 If the Cardinals could have caught a break or two, they might have only lost by a score of 5-1 or 6-2 tonight. Definitely they type of performance that gives hop of a deep postseason run though.  2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About to take another road series, and will be looking for their 8th straight win (all on the road) tomorrow. 10-3 currently B9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted June 17, 2023 Report Share Posted June 17, 2023 Reds beat the Astros 10-3 for their 7th straight win. They started 7-15 but have went 29-20 since then. They remain .5 back if Milwaukee and they past Pittsburgh for second Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted June 17, 2023 Report Share Posted June 17, 2023 One thing I hope David Bell doesn't do is keep Senzel in the lineup to long. He comes back and was out right back in the lineup and has went 0-9 and left 15 runners on base. Today alone he left 11 men in and came up with the bases loaded twice. Fairchild has been hitting well and should see playing time. Also Benson is on fire the last two weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5fouls Posted June 17, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2023 Votto, Encarnacion-Strand, and Fraley may all be on the Reds active roster by the end of June. Who goes?  1) A backup catcher 2) Hopkins 3) Senzel or Fairchild? I probably prefer to keep Fairchild. This assumes Myers gets traded before he is activated.  I've done a complete 180 on Kevin Newman. Hope the Reds keep him to cover the infield should someone get hurt or start to slump.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myers and Maile would be two to go and I am in no hurry to bring back Votto. I am afraid they will feel obligated to play him every day even if he isn't hitting. I would see what you can get in a Senzel trade. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fell off the Senzel wagon back some time ago. But I will say that Nick adds a bunch of flexibility to the Reds position wise. But I too would prefer that he have that flexibility with another team. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
