IU Scott Posted August 8, 2022 Report Share Posted August 8, 2022 Reds 5 series since the break they are 4-0-1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted August 9, 2022 Report Share Posted August 9, 2022 Reds are about to break a team record with using 57 different players this year. The record is 57 and Wednesday they will using their 57th player to start the game. Tonight Farmer was scratched from the lineup and in the 4th inning they lost India and Moose to injuries. So for the remaining game they only have Romine and Farmer on the bench and Farmer has a stiff neck.

Seeking6 Posted August 9, 2022 Report Share Posted August 9, 2022 Odd little stat to chew on this morning. Yankees will be just fine but it shows even the best teams struggle a bit during 162 games. Since June 24, the Kansas City Royals (19-22) have a better record than the New York Yankees (18-21). For anyone not familiar, the Royals aren't even trying and actually traded their best player *to* the Yankees during this span of games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC2345 Posted August 9, 2022 Report Share Posted August 9, 2022 Jose Barrero collected two more hits last night for the Reds. He’s still striking out to much but you can tell he’s working on his approach and he’s playing well defensively. Hopefully the offense continues to progress. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yanks will be fine in regular season, but they wont get past the Astros, let alone the Dodgers, come October. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of the way it looks right now. Dodgers are just so darn good. The Astros appear to be kryptonite for the Yankees as well. Call it whatever but I'm still hoping for Dodgers/Yankees World Series. PS....if you haven't watched find Edwin Diaz intro from bullpen for Mets. I just found it on Sunday night and I've watched no short of a hundred times. Only Enter Sandman by Mariano was better. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched them play Sunday and you could tell the Yankee announcers had some "urgency" in their speak. They kept reeling off recent stats and such that attributed to the Yanks woes of late. They even threw in there that NY was lucky that the Jays hadn't got hot to chip into the lead. Personally, I am skeptical of their trade deadline deals and Carpenter just broke his foot. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember when Gagne would come in to close to Welcome to the Jungle and they would flash Game Over on the score board. I really enjoyed those trumpets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted August 10, 2022 Report Share Posted August 10, 2022 When Mike Minor pitches it is like taking batting practice. This is his 12th start, 60IP and given up 17 home runs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted August 10, 2022 Report Share Posted August 10, 2022 Since the trades of Drury,Pham and Naquin the Reds have very little offense  In the two games in this Mets series they have played 14 innings with 1 run on 11 singles and 5 of them have been infield hits.

Scary thing is all it's going to take is one good week of baseball in September to win that thing. Can't believe the Sox are only 1.5 out as bad as they are.

IU Scott Posted August 10, 2022 Report Share Posted August 10, 2022 Heard a trivia question on what was the fewest amount of pitches in a complete game shut out. The answer is 58. That is amazing you can get through 9 innings with 58 pitches 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't believe the Sox are only 1.5 out as bad as they are. Going off memory here but I do believe 6 out of Chicago's last 9 games are against the Twins. Squeezed in between is 3 against the Padres. Conversely the Tribe finishes with 6 against the Royals. If none separates themselves, the last week of the season is going to be entertaining.  1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
