rico Posted July 20, 2022 Report Share Posted July 20, 2022 27 minutes ago, IU Scott said: What drives me crazy is seeing selfishness in some players today. Especially late in games I see these full shifts and never see anyone try to put a bunt down. When the Reds played at the Yankees when Gallo was up the Reds actually played 4 Outfielders and 3 infielders. None of the infielders were on the left side of the infield and Gallo never tried to bunt or just hit it to the left side. It wasn't just putting the second basemen in short right field but had 4 guys all in the outfield. Chicks dig the long ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IUFLA Posted July 22, 2022 Report Share Posted July 22, 2022 Hey, @Proud2BAHoosier, you watching "The Captain"? I've watched the first two episodes. Pretty good stuff.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted July 22, 2022 Report Share Posted July 22, 2022 Not a good start for the Reds tonight. In the first inning Tyler Stephenson went out after getting hit by a foul ball and it looks bad. In the second binning the ump cost the Reds two runs. On a 3-2 count with two outs and runners on 2nd and 3rd the pitch was definitely a strike but the ump called it a ball. Next batter hit a single to score 2 runs and that should have been an easy grounder to second but they were in a shift Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted July 22, 2022 Report Share Posted July 22, 2022 That turned around quickly with Reds scoring 4 in the second. Reds just owns Adam Wainwright with him being 10-16 and a 5.28 era against the Reds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted July 23, 2022 Report Share Posted July 23, 2022 Bad news for the Reds with Tyler Stephenson having a broken collar bone. After 5 Reds up 5-4 but their pitchers haven't been pitch efficient. Ashcraft went 4.2 innings and 112 pitches 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a shame because I thought Stephenson was a good catcher. But I'd rather keep him in the lineup and lose his abilities behind the plate, than constantly worry about the next catching related injury. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TySteve is a good/great catcher depending on how you digest the stats/metrics for that position. A position change would probably relegate him to above average. He just doesn't have enough time in at the big league level to make a bona fide clear cut decision one way or the other. With that being said he is on record as saying he wants to continue being a catcher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With that being said he is on record as saying he wants to continue being a catcher. I certainly understand and agree with your statement and his feelings regarding his primary position. My reaction was a knee jerk, for sure. It came from the "the Reds can't catch a break" or better said "the Reds can break a catcher" mindset. 🙄 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
