Da Reds thread

[Sea Ray]

It's awfully hard to watch Reds baseball games where Fairchild is your cleanup hitter and I'm done seeing Barrero hit anywhere

 

[Burhead]

I know they want to be careful about rushing prospects and all but can you imagine how this lineup could be improved if they brought up McLain to replace Barrero at SS and Encarnacion-Strand(CES) to replace Steer at 1B?

Still haven't given up on Steer yet think he'll be a good one. Right now he has to be an every day starter but once we bring up some bigger prospects he might take that Farmer role of super utility guy that can play anywhere in the infield to give guys rest.

Ray's picked up Chase Anderson from AAA Louisville today. Pitches 3 scoreless giving up 2 hits and striking out 2 and earns a save. Thanks for contribution.

He had an opt out it was better get something than nothing for him but you are welcome I guess?

Yes I think if I remember right, Reds got some cash or future considerations. I saw him warming up in bullpen and didn't know who the heck he was so I looked and saw he was traded that am. I believe he'll be headed to Durham.

All I want to see today is Cessa going somewhere else. Trotting him out there is getting ridiculous.

Don't know why we moved him out of the pen last year and don't understand why we keep doing it this year.

 

[Burhead]

If he isn’t called up this weekend I’m going to riot.

 

[Burhead]

And CES has 3 homers tonight bring them both up.

Please Baseball Gods, please!

How did TJ Friedl go undrafted?

How did TJ Friedl go undrafted?

I agree. Idgit scouts.

That's why guys just need to keep working if they have the fire in them.

 

[Burhead]

Steer was a triple away from the cycle. Eric Davis is still the last Red to achieve that in 1989.

How did TJ Friedl go undrafted?

It's a long story but nobody thought he was eligible for the draft, including him. An agent figured it out after the draft and most teams already had their allocation pool money accounted for...except for the Reds and the TB Rays. He chose the Reds

Seems like a waste of that recently opened roster spot

The Reds have DFAd Luis Cessa and added starter Ben Lively to the roster.

 

[Burhead]

Doing everything but calling up CES and McLain.

 

[Burhead]

We're about to blow a 7-1 lead...

This home plate ump sucks

He's thrown 5 scoreless innings. I like him better than Cleavenger.

 

[tntar heel]

Elly can hit them very hard, and very far

I noticed that. 5 shutout innings and a save. Tough business

 

[Vols4us]

OK - they are 20% of the way through the season. Anybody spot a team identity yet? Who are these guys? Who do they lack to get over .500?

They definitely have an identity. It's scrappy

As for improvement they need more power and another starter. The good news it they have all kinds of power in AAA and a stud starter. The next 5-7 yrs looks bright for this franchise
