Can't remember the last time we had a .330 hitter. Maybe Grace at some point by the 4th? I would have had to look it up! @5fouls was on top of it and beat me to it. I would have guessed Grace too… Edited August 13, 2023 by FritzIam4IU 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted August 13, 2023 Report Share Posted August 13, 2023 The Reds need an upgrade at the catchers position. Stephenson the last two years has been pretty bad. He just took 3 straight strikes and never took the bat off of his shoulder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted August 13, 2023 Report Share Posted August 13, 2023 Bell takes out Williamson after 5.2 innings just because he walked a guy with two outs. He is bringing in Sims which lately has been a disaster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted August 13, 2023 Report Share Posted August 13, 2023 The Reds bullpen can't throw strikes. So far in .2 innings they have walked 3 but so far the Reds still has the lead 2-1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted August 13, 2023 Report Share Posted August 13, 2023 Young just gave up a 3 run homer. Of the 4 runs the Pirates has scored 3 has been because of walks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted August 13, 2023 Report Share Posted August 13, 2023 Reds lose 4-2 I'm the first game of a DH Once again the same old thing Reds batters struck out 12 times Reds pitchers walked 5 and only 3 hits Bell another idiotic move by taking out Williamson after 5.2 innings and 1 run and 2 hits, only 79 pitches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FritzIam4IU Posted August 13, 2023 Report Share Posted August 13, 2023 Looks like Cubs will have to settle for 2 out of 3 against Toronto. Just keep winning series and things will fall into place. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proud2BAHoosier Posted August 13, 2023 Report Share Posted August 13, 2023 (edited) Stick a fork in 'em, the Yanks are done! Today's game is a microcosm of their season. Cole started the game and was rolling along against the Marlins 7-3. Get to the bottom of the 9th, and I'm feeling good. But nooo... Clay Holmes loses a 4 run lead and the Yanks lose 8-7!! I look for Cole to opt out of his contract, JMO. BTW, up next is the Braves, I look for them to score a couple of touchdowns against the Yanks. Matt Olson is smacking his chops.... You guys have fun, I'm out. Can B'Ball be far behind???????????? Edited August 13, 2023 by Proud2BAHoosier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Game tied at 3 bottom of 3rd. With Weaver pitching we probably need at least 10 runs. Also Maile needs to get more playing time at catcher.

IU Scott Posted August 13, 2023 Report Share Posted August 13, 2023 It is sad that the Reds keep putting out Luke Weaver starting every 5 days. In 20 starts he has pitched 93 innings which is horrible. He had given up 70 runs for a 6.75 ERA. He has given up 118 hits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rico Posted August 14, 2023 Report Share Posted August 14, 2023 The Reds lost the first game of a day-night doubleheader when the bullpen blew the 2-1 lead Williamson handed off.But the bigger story involving Williamson, who debuted in May, is what he’s done since getting his big-league legs under him the last six weeks or so and earning a place in the Reds’ plans down the stretch.“The way he’s trending and getting better is the most encouraging part,” manager David Bell said.With the top two starters from the Reds’ opening rotation Hunter Greene and Nick Lodolo both expected back from the injured list by the end of the month, the Reds have discussed the possibility of going to a six-man rotation over the final weeks.Williamson’s reliability since the end of June has been a big reason why; he’s earned a continued role in the starting corps until further notice.The fact that he and another rookie, Andrew Abbott, are both staring at big jumps in their career workload numbers if they go the distance as starters this season, the expanded rotation would help the club manage that issue while keeping their best starters in the rotation https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/mlb/why-brandon-williamson-big-part-of-cincinnati-reds-plan-down-stretch-in-more-ways-than-one/ar-AA1felaR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully at this point next Monday we'll be on top of the division. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually liked Franco too....but if this checks out good luck buddy in prison. Florida has some different consent laws. For example if your 23 you can date a 16 year old...but he's 22 and she isn't 16. That's called bad news...again if these allegations are proven true. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IUFLA Posted August 15, 2023 Report Share Posted August 15, 2023 Watching y'alls Reds while waiting for the Sox/Cubs game to start... I hate the advertising patches on the uniform sleeves (Reds-Kroger, India... Uh Guardians-Marathon) The home plate umpire is terrible at calling balls and strikes Not a very good crowd on hand...

IU Scott Posted August 16, 2023 Report Share Posted August 16, 2023 This Reds lineup is pretty weak with these five guys in it Newman Ramos Fairchild Stephenson Hopkins No Freidl, Benson, Votto and Fraley and India on the DL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted August 16, 2023 Report Share Posted August 16, 2023 Reds lose once again 3-0 at home to Cleveland. Ashcraft pitched really well 7IP 3 runs but two of those runs probably shouldn't have happened. A line drive to Left and Steer lost it in the sun for a double. After the first 4 batters where he gave up two runs Ashcraft was really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
