Reds small favorite again tonight

[willie key]

Btw. We might not need to win 90 games to win the Division this year

[stoutdude04]

Reds small favorite again tonight

 

Yep, weird that last night I saw the Brewers as favorites. Weird.

[stalton]

Small Sample Alert but Thames is 0 for 7 with 5 k's against Tanner. Almost wants me to put Yaz at first tonight despite Thames' (Thames's?) surge lately.

[KeithStone53151]

Roark has been so good against RH hitters this year, I think you have to go Thames. I'm frankly a bit annoyed that Gamel isn't in the lineup somewhere.

[TJseven7]

Annoyed no Gamel... How about Braun and Cain batting ahead of Hiura yet again?

[sveumrules]

Looking through the lineups it does not appear as though Hiura has batted ahead of Cain or Braun in any of his starts to this point.

 

I'd imagine it stays that way until Keston goes on some kind of tear.

Because Braun and Cain have been better? In avg, or obp or ops?

 

I'm sick of treating Braun like a legacy. Took them forever to get Grandal and Moose ahead of him in the order. Hiura's next. Batting in front of the pitcher? Batting Arcia pseudo lead off? It's clumsy all around.

[Brew crew 92]

Down broadway.

[PinaMadness]

Chase Anderson in GABP. Not a good combination. This could get ugly.

[brewmann04]

Chase in Cinci is not a great fixture for a win.

[treego14]

Braun's effort in left looked strange ...

[PinaMadness]

Ervin gets an extra base due to Braun's pathetic effort to reach down for the ball.

[Brew crew 92]

Braun's effort in left looked strange ...

 

Reds broadcasters said its age related.

They're probably right; he could have slid into the ball and knocked it down, though, I thought. As it turns out, it didn't hurt us. Whew!

[PinaMadness]

I swear we have had the worst bunting pitchers in baseball for about 10 years.

[markedman5]

Pitching staff's inabilty to execute sac bunts is annoying.......it's been terrible all year.

[PinaMadness]

I'd have rather had Anderson fail to get the bunt down like they usually do than for him to bunt it right back to the pitcher. Rather have Hiura on base instead.

[PinaMadness]

Yelich sets a new team record for the second day in a row.

[Eye Black]

Tough luck on that Grandal hit that was snagged by Puig. Glad Yelich got the HR, just wish Grandal was on after what looked like a no doubt base hit off the bat.

[wallus]

Good thing we didn't trade Thames.

[PinaMadness]

Thames loves the GABP.

[PinaMadness]

I don't know why the team just doesn't put Cain down the rest of the week and let him get right physically. It's not like Gamel is chopped liver.
