IU Scott Posted July 9, 2023 Report Share Posted July 9, 2023 9 minutes ago, IUFLA said: Yeah, it was funny... But I have to believe he was looking for an early start to the All-Star break... There's not a whole lot that can happen in 5 pitches to get that worked up about... Appreciate what he did as a player, but his managerial skills leave a lot to be desired... It was about Hendricks getting a clock violation on the first pitch of the game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not enough to get tossed over... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rico Posted July 9, 2023 Report Share Posted July 9, 2023 36 minutes ago, IU Scott said: To me this off season the Reds will have some major decisions to make with how to balance their roster. They have to many infielders who should start than they positions to fill. To me Steer and Senzel are way better defensively as an infielder. Today Steer mis played a fly ball into a double in the first inning and that gave the Brewers their only run. To me Steer is best a first base and Senzel at 3rd base. To me it is best to have EDLC at short and McClain at 2B, Steer at 1st. I know people are sentimental but for me this would be Votto's last year and I would trade India and Senzel. To me there is better use for the 25M that Votto makes than resigning him. I would have Encarscion-Strand at 3rd or DH. Outfield Freidl should be the CF and leadoff hitter. If Benson keeps up what he is doing now for the rest of the year he should be the every day LF. Fraley is the hard one to figure out because he hits RHP great but not LHP. Might be good to keep him and platoon at RF. Will be interesting to watch this off season unfold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proud2BAHoosier Posted July 9, 2023 Report Share Posted July 9, 2023 Well, the Cubs took 2 of 3 from the Yanks to close the first half of the season. In today's game, the Yanks had a 4-1 lead going in to the 6th inning, Doming German struck out 9 allowing 1 walk with just 3 walks. The tide turned when Gleyber Torres booted a double play ball that would have ended the 7th inning. Instead, the Cubs scored 3 runs to tie the game. Why Boone took German out is anyone's guess. Hope the 2nd half is better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheWatShot Posted July 10, 2023 Report Share Posted July 10, 2023 Does anyone at ESPN do any research anymore? The Tigers took Max Clark with the third overall pick, and mentioned he was the best player to come out of Indiana since Bryan Bullington, who played for IU. Except, Bullington didn't play for IU, he played for Ball State. Probably written by someone who was multi-tasking this article and a story about what Wemby will have for breakfast tomorrow. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
