Miley has had injuries in the past and they can't afford to lose him at this point in the season. That wasn't an analytical decision that was the smart decision. Not every decision Bell makes is analytical contrary to popular belief. Especially with a 3 run lead. Yes, the bullpen has been bad most of the year but they've got guys that should be able to get 6 outs and they did. The Reds WON and that's what matters. They gave up a couple of solo home runs because Lorenzen was working on some pitches that haven't been effective for him this year. You manage the game and he had one at bat all night with a runner in scoring position. That was after the first two were out then gave up a single and a double so he wasn't having long innings. It is late in the season and you have to win games so put your best out there in ever circumstance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted September 9, 2021 Report Share Posted September 9, 2021 I think it is time for the Reds to stop pitching to Ian Happ. He had now hit ,83 career Homer and 23 are against the Reds. He is like s .230 hitter nut is hitting over .300 against the Reds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted September 9, 2021 Report Share Posted September 9, 2021 What David Bell did tonight is a fireable offense. In what work do you bring in Brad Beach in a tie game in the bottom of the 10th and a 6.30 eta. . You all ready have a runner on second so you need a quality pitcher to come in. HBell already missed manager the bullpen in the 8th and 9th innings. Cessa came in and had an easy right inning so he shod came back in the month. Instead he brought Givens in and he had an easy inning it he shod have been saved for the tenth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted September 9, 2021 Report Share Posted September 9, 2021 Tonight was must win for the Reds and Bell played it like is was spring training game. He too Guitirez out after 5 innings and 1 run, 2 hits and 85 pitches. Also this is the 5th straight series they have lost and ate 5-10 in those games. Those 5 series was against the Brewers, Marlins, Cardinals, Tigers and Cubs. This was supposed to be the start of an easy end the year schedule. Their hitting has went into the toilet the lady month. If your pitchers give up 1 run on 2 hits through 9 innings you shod win that game. For some reason tonight's starter for the Cubs Mills dominate the Reds. He is the definition of an average pitcher but the Refs just have trouble with his 85 mph fast ball and his 65 mph curve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many likeable guys on the team. Hoping they find something soon. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted September 9, 2021 Report Share Posted September 9, 2021 Just read an article talking about Brach and his season. I'm his first 20 outings he had an era of 2.25 but in his last 16 his era is 14.30. They have a reliever in AAA that has went 20 straight appearances without giving up a run and for the year in 49 innings his era is 0.49. Why not give him a chance over a guy like. Brach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billingsley99 Posted September 9, 2021 Report Share Posted September 9, 2021 I am happy that we are still discussing the Reds this late into the season. I will be ticked if they screw this up but I think they will get hot and go on a run and put some distance between them the Padres and Phillies. Hope its not just my Reds colored glasses I have on.
