Seeking6 Posted July 31, 2019 Report Share Posted July 31, 2019 Pretty interesting numbers. Yu Darvish has been given the lead nine times in his last 10 starts. He has lost that lead eight times. The lead he had Tuesday night (1-0) lasted less than four batters. Quote Tweet Jesse Rogers @ESPNChiCubs · 7h The Cubs are the only team in baseball to hold a lead in all their games since the all-star break but they're just 9-7 in those contests, including a 2-1 loss to St. Louis on Tuesday. Up 1-0 in the fourth inning, the Cardinals quickly tied it before...

IU Scott Posted July 31, 2019 Report Share Posted July 31, 2019 Everyone knows my thought son David Bell as a manager but I have some new found respect for him after last night. He stood up for his players and went out fighting to stop all of this non sense that the Pirates has done for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Half our guys treat every day like it's just another day. Which is why I would make sure they saw it. Then maybe they wouldn't treat it like another day. I know it's kinda high schoolish to use bulletin board material, but if I'm Maddon, I'm looking for any kind of motivation I can get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching Joe after the game last night you can tell this group is wearing on him. Not sure if that's a fair word to even use but no fight at all from players.

Tribe trades Bauer for Puig, Reyes and Logan Allen (from the Padres), and the Padres get Taylor Trammell from the Reds. Tribe got some instant pop in their lineup, and I think Tito will be a good manager for Puig. I think Bauer was such a pain in the ass the Indians were going to get rid of him no matter what. They certainly got a nice return...Now, can they afford getting rid of a pitcher like that? I for one am going to miss seeing Puig in a Reds uniform. I could not stand him as a Dodger but that's one dude I would like playing for my team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference is that Puig seems to be a genuinely nice guy, good in the clubhouse and the community. Bauer, on the other hand, comes across as a jerk. I am not happy about it myself. Actually it kind of pisses me off. Aside from Puig the Reds also give up their #1 prospect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is that in a short time Puig has became a fan favorite and most were hoping and praying that the Reds would lock him up to a deal. It remains to be seen how the trade will turn out but it does give Cincy a very formidable rotation right now...but me thinks the Reds ain't done yet.
