5fouls Posted July 4, 2019 Report Share Posted July 4, 2019 The Reds are in last place, but only 4.5 games out of first. In the other 5 divisions, the SECOND place team is not that close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He brings energy. I like Puig. As you said, he brings energy. He has also been everything the Reds could have asked for as a teammate and a citizen.

IUFLA Posted July 4, 2019 Report Share Posted July 4, 2019 I just saw where Tommy LaStella has a fractured tibia. I feel bad for him. The Cubs wouldn't give him a chance to be a full time starter. I always thought after he "retired" rather than being demoted, he wore the Scarlett Letter as far as the Cubs were concerned. And we got nada for him. So he goes to the Angels, is having a LaSteller year, makes the All-Star team, and this happens...that sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fouled the ball HARD right off his leg. I've never seen anything like it at the plate. You see the foot all the time, but even many of those are glancing blows off the bat. LaStella's was almost like a line drive straight into the leg.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contreras in RF, No Bryant, and Russell starting....haha So Contreras makes a great throw to nail a Pirate at the plate, but then fans on a catch (and the scorer gave Kang a double!?!?) that keys the Pirate rally, while the best right fielder in baseball sits on the bench. Speechless. Little things sometimes win, or lose, ballgames. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They won't sell if they are in contention, yet they will be reluctant to buy because there are no really glaring holes, just stretches of under-performance and/or bad luck.

In these days of 13 man pitching staffs, and only 4 bench players, it's hard to imagine how difficult it would be to manage if you've got guys banged up. The Pirates need to knock off the high and tight stuff. They're either going to get someone hurt (Bote was lucky yesterday) by hitting someone, or starting a brawl. Good to see Maddon get fired up yesterday. Hopefully, it's contagious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to see Maddon get fired up yesterday. Hopefully, it's contagious. Maddon said afterwards the Pirates are very well known for the high and up approach to pitching. His anger wasn't at Hurdle but at someone else but he basically said his source is really good that someone on the Pirates staff is coaching this philosophy. Glad to see the offense get going. Quintana allowed 3 or less runs for the 14th in 18 starts this season and I'm thinking Robel will be our everyday 2nd baseman soon enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
