I would love to see the Yankees open the new Field of Dreams stadium when they play the Chisox!

That is true but we still have to be in good position at that time to make a run at the division. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since they were sold to Iowans only I had my buddy try. No luck. My Dad isn't in the best of health and he's a diehard White Sox fan but I had to draw the line somewhere. Really happy for the folks in Dyersville and surrounding area though....huge amount of $ already coming in and this week will help them out. Hope MLB does this game annually. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

btownqb Posted August 9, 2021 Report Share Posted August 9, 2021 Didn't know Stephenson could play 1B. The Reds should feel like they have a star in the making with him right? Knock on wood Mesoraco . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted August 9, 2021 Report Share Posted August 9, 2021 Man Bell usually takes pitchers out to early but tonight he allowed Castillo to stay until he gave up 8 runs in 3..1 innings. Thought this was going to be an easy win for the Reds with Castillo pitching the Indians pitcher coming up n with a 7.49 era Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Reds should feel like they have a star in the making with him right? Knock on wood Mesoraco . Stephenson hadn´t played 1B in his career until earlier this year. When Votto missed time earlier this year with an injury he told Stephenson he should start taking ground balls at first. He did alright there so Bell gave him some starts earlier this year at 1B. He just hadn´t played there recenlty because Votto can´t be out of the lineup. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted August 11, 2021 Report Share Posted August 11, 2021 I am starting to think Hembree must have some naked pictures of Bell. There would be no other to bring him into a tie game. Also why take out Gray after 5 innings and only 2 runs. Hembree gave up a hot and a walk to his first two batters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted August 11, 2021 Report Share Posted August 11, 2021 Well the combination of Hembree and Garrett lost the game on the 6th inning. Hembree gave up a single, a walk and got a strikeout. Garrett came in and walked two which produced the winning run. Reds lose 3-2 and now in the last 3 games in ATL they have played 31 innings and the Reds have scored 2 runs on 17 hits. There is no reason for Himbree, Garrett and Doolittle to be on a close game. Last night Bell left Castillo in the game and pet him give up 8 runs. Tonight he takes out Gray after 5 innings and he only gave up 2 runs. Those runs were scored in the 4th and it was after the first two batters were out. He walked the next batter and then hung a breaking pit h to Duvall for a HR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC2345 Posted August 11, 2021 Report Share Posted August 11, 2021 (edited) I understand why the Reds don’t want to give up on Garrett since he’s been pretty good the last couple of years. He’s having a bad year and is out of options so he’s stuck on the roster but Bell needs to be smarter about when to use him. Hembree should’ve already been replaced by Santillan and I don’t understand that at all. I also don’t get why the Reds made up an injury to keep Brach around rather than just cutting him but at least he’s not pitching anymore.

The Reds pitching development has been much different over the last 3 years since Derek Johnson and Kyle Boddy have been hired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
