skyline Posted July 30, 2018 Report Share Posted July 30, 2018 Yep, and the Phillies coach had a lot of great things to say about the Reds afterwards. They're significantly better than their record, etc, etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COB Posted July 30, 2018 Report Share Posted July 30, 2018 The Reds took 2 out of 3 off the Indians a couple weeks back. And they didn't look like they were exactly straining to do it. Votto looked great, was completely clutch. Right now the Reds are probably the better team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted July 30, 2018 Report Share Posted July 30, 2018 The trade deadline should be interesting as well. I know Harvey will be gone and there is talk of others as well (Iglesias, etc.). Odd fact... Only the Cubs have scored more runs (527) than the Reds (497) in the NL Central. Too bad they've given up an absolute ASSLOAD more than any other team in the Central.

skyline Posted July 30, 2018 Report Share Posted July 30, 2018 I'm secretly hoping they don't trade Harvey. I know he's gone after this season, but he's fun to watch and I don't think they'll get a worthwhile return on the trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted July 30, 2018 Report Share Posted July 30, 2018 I was hoping they would find a way to resign him, but that's a pipe dream. Seeing as how they gave up Mesoraco to get him, I don't know if they get a comparable return or not. Harvey pitching well since coming over here certainly doesn't hurt that in the least. Mesoraco is right about where he always is since his time with the Mets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyline Posted July 31, 2018 Report Share Posted July 31, 2018 Duvall traded to the Braves for 2 pitchers and an outfielder. This trade makes a ton of sense. Not this season with Winker injured, but certainly for the future. While I really like Duvall, the outfield is getting crowded. With Senzel likely claiming the 2nd base position when he's called up, Scooter will probably end up in the outfield eventually. A Winker/Gennet/Hamilton or Schebler outfield looks pretty good. Then when Trammel comes up, you've got another piece out there to work with. As for the pitchers, neither look to be stars, but one of them is a 1st round pick. He's serviceable as is, but who knows. He's the kind of guy that could turn it around and become something eventually. I'm nervous that Hamilton may end up traded as well. I understand it with the lack of hitting but he sure is fun to watch and has got to be a great locker room guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted July 31, 2018 Report Share Posted July 31, 2018 Yes, definitely a move for the future. Duvall is a good guy though and I wish him luck in Atlanta. My son will be heated if they trade Hamilton and I enjoy watching him as well. Hope he sticks. Now, what gets done with Harvey ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skyline Posted August 1, 2018 Report Share Posted August 1, 2018 Annoying loss tonight. A couple of bass running blunders cost them. I'm afraid we're in for a rough stretch. Trading Duvall was the right move long term, but with Winker and Schebler both hurt, our outfield has next to zero offense. On the plus side, Bailey has put together two really strong outings in a row. It would be a huge boost if he came around to what he used to be.

BengalszoneBilly Posted August 5, 2018 Report Share Posted August 5, 2018 15.5 games behind. Last place in the division. Let's redefine disappointment. This whole organization is a shit show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyline Posted August 22, 2018 Report Share Posted August 22, 2018 This is mind-boggling. From ESPN: Quote The Reds are now 1-16 in games Homer Bailey starts, which means they're a respectable 54-54 in games he doesn't start. The worst team record in the wild-card era (minimum 20 starts): the 2010 Mariners went 3-17 in Ryan Rowland-Smith's starts. A shame since he's had a few decent starts since coming back from the minors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BengalszoneBilly Posted September 3, 2018 Report Share Posted September 3, 2018 I don't think the Reds will ever be relevant again. They get good players, then trade them to big market teams. Marge wouldn't be having that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
