I think [hopefully] everyone here is rooting for Yelich. BA prefaced his at bat with “Yelich has been looking for a signature moment all season.” Obviously it’s no secret he’s really struggling [from what he’s accomplished previously]. It’s tough watching him not meet his expectations, and I feel bad for him as much as anything. It’s a fun team, and it would be good to see him be a meaningful part of that success over the next two months.
Not just “at Night” anymore.

Yelich redemption tour starts now.

 

Maybe next year.

You do you. I'm rooting for the guy every single at bat.

 

So am I, but it’s heartbreaking watching these struggles.

Note: If I raise something as a POSSIBILITY that does not mean that I EXPECT it to happen.

Who isn't? We all want him to succeed. He unfortunately has not.

You literally just posted you've given up on him so I guess we start with you to answer your question.

 

No, I actually didn't. Don't put words in my mouth that I didn't say. I said I've given up expecting that he'll come through in big situations. Me saying that we are past the point of expecting that anything good will happen when he comes up in a big AB means I'm not rooting for it to happen?

Cousins has been great but has really struggled woth command in his last few appearances, it seems.

I'm still of the opinion that they didn't do enough at the deadline to address the pen.

but it's not like every guy suddenly forgot every piece of advice he gave

I agree with you there, but Cousins belongs in this pen regardless of what they did.

I'm just not sure you can use cousins in high leverage situations right now.

Of course, but having quality length would help in situations like this instead of having to rely on rookies in situations like this.

I guess that would really depend on what you deem “high leverage.” Coming into tonight he had pitched 18 innings and allowed just 6 hits and 0 runs. Maybe he isn’t going to be your closer, but I think you trust that guy to be able to hold a lead or small deficit more often than not. He hasn’t been completely sharp the last couple of outings, but he’s certainly earned some leash at this point.

Can't have the Reds show up in town only four or five games back.

 

The worst it could be is 5 1/2, but I don’t think anyone here wants to see that.
