5fouls Posted July 26, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2023 The Reds are built for success beyond this season. Obviously, there is no guarantee, but the Reds may be capable of a 4-5 year Brave or Astro type stretch until this core gets too expensive. With that said, does a team like the Cubs approach the deadline that they need to get it done this season and go in as a buyer? Or, do they begin trading off their best resources and stock their farm system similar to how the Reds did it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or, do they begin trading off their best resources and stock their farm system similar to how the Reds did it? Brought it up the other day. 2003 the Cubs were in similar position but they went out as buyers and got Ramirez/Lofton to finalize the lineup. At the time they were 12 games out of WC and still made the move. I really hope they decide to add instead of just sell...because based on the last few years of moves/transactions we don't seem to have a good eye for talent.

It's like that lady at 16 at Augusta National. She's just been there for years. In terms of Reds....either the Brewers are the Reds Kryptonite or the Reds just love 1 run games. I think I heard this stat correctly. Reds have 21 or 22 1 run wins this year? No clue what all time record is but more than a third of your wins are by 1 run is living on the edge. Hope you guys add another one today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted July 26, 2023 Report Share Posted July 26, 2023 Everyone keeps saying the Reds need SP but the offense has been the problem since the AS break. Our offense today has been horrible and has struck out 15 times through 7 innings. Game was 0-0 until the Brewers just hit a 2 run homer in the 7th.

IU Scott Posted July 26, 2023 Report Share Posted July 26, 2023 Thank God this is the last game against the Brewers this year. If you take our games out vs the Brewers out we would be 5 games ahead of them for the division Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATX_sig Posted July 26, 2023 Report Share Posted July 26, 2023 Seems the problem has been the Brewers pitching. They scored vs the other teams. sometimes you gotta give the other team credit. I don't get the Brewer hex but it seems to happen to teams a lot. Rangers struggle with Toronto. I remember before the dome in toronto the Ranger announcers called the stadium the blueJays played in the VooDoo Palace. Reds don't seem to get many calls vs the Brewers.

I would have been furious if they took Lively out after 6. If our bullpen was more reliable maybe but they aren't. Also they have been over used and lately haven't been great. I can understand if you have the end of a bullpen that the Brewers have but we don't. Cruz just gave up a run after another walk to pretty much put this game out of teach. You said yourself last night the bullpen is walking to many guys Edited July 26, 2023 by IU Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jv1972iu Posted July 26, 2023 Report Share Posted July 26, 2023 (edited) Seems pretty obvious that the Reds offense doesn't match up well against the Brewers. Good pitching beats good hitting and the Reds look weak right now. The long season showing signs among this young team??

IU Scott Posted July 26, 2023 Report Share Posted July 26, 2023 With them being done with the Brewers, thank God this is some of the horrible stats against them. Record 3-10 Shutout 4 times Struck out over 14 times in 3 games and twice being 18 times. They have only done this 4 other times this year.

5fouls Posted July 26, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2023 There is literally nothing the Reds can do to improve the offense. Players go through slumps and teams have bad matchups. You can argue for benching Votto, but all that does is stop the carousel of having to rest one of the 8 you want to play (Steer today, CES yesterday). Trading for a bat does not address the biggest need, which is a quality left-handed reliever. What position on the field can they realistically expect to upgrade. Stay the course. Let the young guys work through their problems on the field. They aren't winning a World Series this year even if they got Ohtani in a trade for Curt Casali and Daniel Duarte. I hope the front office does not do something stupid. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me Votto needs to only start a couple games a week and not be in the lineup every day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted July 26, 2023 Report Share Posted July 26, 2023 I am on staycation this week so it was nice to be able to watch a day game in the middle of the week. That joy lasted a couple of minutes but when Peralta struck out the side in the first on 11 pitches I knew we would be in trouble. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope the front office does not do something stupid. Also they need to change the lineup back to what they had earlier in the season. Take EDLC out of the leadoff spot because you can't have a leadoff hitter who strikes out this much. You need to take India out of the 5th spot. Like I said in another post you take Votto out of the lineup. You also need to get back to being aggressive on the base paths by stealing bases and trying to take the extra base. Early on against the Brewers in a two game stretch we stole 14 bases but since then not much. Lineup 1)Freidl CF 2)Steer 1B 3)McClain SS 4)EDLC 3B 5)Fraley RF 6)CES DH 7)Benson LF 8)India 2B 9)Stephenson C Edited July 26, 2023 by IU Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
