Cincinnati Reds 2023 (sell the team Bob)

Just read an Athletic article that has Gray #2 and Castillo #3 in the CY voting

Fuck. I think I'm going to have to breakdown and go to the Sunday game. Possibly Votto's last home game in the midst of a wild playoff race and no other plans? I don't know how I can possibly justify not going.

It's looking like some remarkable trades that worked for both teams.

I still can't believe how they restocked the system off of them (and others).

I really like Benson but he can't hit LH pitching, even a little bit.

He's a really good strong side platoon guy. So is Fraley. I think they are going to have to pick one and trade the other.

this. plus he is awful at tracking fly balls/line drives. i love the dude dont get me wrong

I haven't been following Petty but he's having a good year. Doesn't walk very many guys and literally hasn't given up a HR all season---seems like a good combo

Petty has been absolutely dominant in the limited action they have let him see (4 IP per start).

I mean dominant, dominant.

You think he'll be pushing Diaz at some point or are they going to start him/middle relief?

Their MO is to try to make a guy a starter until he just obviously can't but now with so many arms stacking up between MLB, AAA and AA I think they will have to consider moving some guys.

Who that is, I have zero clue. I could imagine Lodolo as a high leverage, hammer lefty in the bullpen to save the wear and tear of starting (which he seems unable to take) but that's just me spitballing.

Lots of good problems to have with the roster this upcoming off season

I keep saying this with my dad, Benson is such a great hitter and intelligent at the plate. Plus just a team player that handles his business. Love Benson.

Nice win. Keep grinding boys.

Will Benson drives the same year, make, model, color, and trim package 4-door Jeep Wrangler JKU that I own. He's basically my favorite Red ever at this point.

Bell wasn’t kidding about managing it like a playoff game. Already gone to the pen.

Farmer needs to throw strikes

 

[Jaxbuck]

Walks haunt but if Elly makes the easy catch and tag on that steal attempt we are out of the inning.

Starting to get a little frustrated with him.

 

[Jaxbuck]

Maeda is going to no-hit these guys.

They are absolutely flummoxed by breaking stuff.

 

[Jaxbuck]

Another lead off walk from the pen.

Sigh

Runner is safe if they review it and they are

Not looking like it’s going to be our night. That was an easy DP of the pitcher doesn’t touch it.
