Every pitch to him in batting practice tomorrow needs to be low and outside in the zone. Punch that shit into right field, not roll it to SS every damn time for a double play. Or foul it off. Lil too late to teach him that fundamental? Yeah, suppose.

These guys hit tonight like they've never seen a fastball with no movement at the knees ever before.

He should be in fucking Louisville or even Chattanooga

Mateer is undergoing thumb surgery, so...

Fuck McClain.

Batting him 4h was certainly an interesting lineup decision.

As long as the defense does what they’re supposed to do, you guys can forget all those wild passing projections lol. We’ll probably get a version of the offense we saw against Texas. Conservative. Hoping to establish the run and hit some underneath passes with one or two deep PA passes a half.

Maybe I’m wrong but we’d better not play that way vs UW or that plays into their hands I think. If the defense shuts these guys down I’d be very impressed. I still don’t expect more than 24 points against but it’s unlikely we can go for 200 total yards and win this one.

We’ll need to keep pace I think and that means staying aggressive. No room for conservative approaches in this one I think. Like I said maybe I’m wrong because I certainly am a lot but I think UW is that explosive.

Can’t afford to bottle them up for 2 quarters but only be up 14-3. Drown them early and force them to abandon their run game.

Good practice for TCUN IMO. Similar teams offensively but UW has a more experienced QB and better skill. If we play TCUN conservative we’ll be playing into their hands. For a team that wants to run the ball with their physical RB you jump them early and force them into something they don’t want to do IMO. In other words you make them play your game not the other way around.

I flipped over bott 8 and saw 1 at bat that was more clutch than anything the Reds have done all season

Cleveland pitchers combined to strikeout 19 hitters

Cleveland scores 3 in the 7th as Skubal came unglued with errors and wild pitches, ball never left the infield

Tack on 2 in the 8th and they win 5-2 and are now in 1st place

Reliever Smith comes in for 9th and hammers the strike zone...
We're tied for 1st place

For those of you occasionally ping my DM’s and ask about CMR, here he is. Still getting around pretty well and hosting an annual Parkinson’s fundraising event in Athens.

Isn't he on the ACC network?

We all knew the face plant was coming.

Just hoped maybe for once, just fucking once in 30+ years, they wouldn’t do it.

Mets just tied the game vs Chicago

And another. Fuck these jokers

The first two might actually go this year. That last one will require a lot of games and that means 100% healthy for 2 years. I hope you are right and he smashes them.

And it helps having an accurate QB. But yeah, just sharpie in his name all over the WR records.

And another scoreless inning vs worst team in Central

Just in case any of you were wondering how bad a baseball team can be, the Colorado Rockies are, through 156 games, 37 games behind the Reds in the standings and are being outscored by an average of 2.59 runs per game. My father in law, who even Cleveland Browns fans probably feel sorry for, nonetheless continues to watch them.
