because your a racist. you lie all the time, and when the bengals start you will have all the answers for them like you do the reds who you don't watch because of kneelers and mexicans. just saying the bengals have a lot more kneelers and are now playing a black anthem. i will say, they don't have any mexicans tho.If they get too woke and push agendas like the NBA did continuously and MLB did at first then I probably will. The question is, why do you care ??

I will agree with that. Loss today = gotta trade some players for future benefit.Disastrous two days for the Reds, if they lose today they might do a Cubs like plunge
the schedule favors the redlegs, but not if they keep rolling with this bull pen.Lots of baseball left to play but I don’t see this team catching the Brewers. Wouldn’t be surprised if they fall behind the Cubs and Cards as well.
K, good to know. You do suck when you post though ??i don't lie when i post.

A very simple answer to a complex problem. Suarez, even with his issues, is still an overall semi-productive 3rd baseman. He's also under contract. Garrett is possibly shoppable, but why sell low? Here's a guy who was supposed to be at the back end of your bullpen, and now he's in the front end. To me a change of scenery would probably do him well. I'm willing to continue on with Suarez.The Reds would be a better team without Suarez and Garrett, that’s not debatable. This team has no answer ar SS and a leaky bullpen. Not a good combo for a contender. Trading for Story and getting a couple of relievers would help this team immensely. If Lorenzen is solid and the Reds can hang on until Antone and Sims come back the bullpen may be serviceable. If the Reds got Story you could hide Suarez down at 7-8. As is, this team will not go far if it does make the playoffs
I really think the Brewers are going to come back to the pack at some point. They are simply not that good. Their offense is very spotty and other than Burnes, their starters are a bunch of 5 inning guys. The bullpen is off the charts but they've lost two key guys the last 3 days in Williams and Boxberger. Williams with the dreaded right elbow discomfort. Boxberger with shoulder soreness. As we know with pitchers, there is no short stint out. Normally it's shut down for a week to 10 days, then begin throwing program and a rehab assignment. Many times a month is minimum.Lots of baseball left to play but I don’t see this team catching the Brewers. Wouldn’t be surprised if they fall behind the Cubs and Cards as well.
At some point Winker and Castellenos were going to cool off, they both played like MVP's most of the first half of the season and we were still underwater. That said, this team has no way of creating any offense other than hitting home runs and doubles. It's today's version of baseball and I guess I'll have to just get used to it. But take yesterday for instance. John Sadak mentioned that Corbin Burns has given up the most stolen bases this season. He's got a slow leg kick and throws a variety of off speed pitches. Now I"m not saying we need to straight steal, because we have one of the slowest teams in baseball. But how about starting the runner? How about a hit and run, based on the count? We are not striking out as much as in years past, and there are certain guys who do put the bat on the ball.Such a frustrating, wildly inconsistent team. Flushed the good work and progress the last 4-5 weeks right down the tubes with that sweep. Is it possible to make up 7 games in the next 9 weeks? Sure. But not without some bullpen help, and consistency on offense from everyone. Even our best need to be more consistent.
Winker:
- .370 in April with 6 HR
- .330 in May with 7 HR
- .283 in June with 6 HR
- .127 in July with 0 HR
Castellanos:
- .305 in April with 7 HR
- .409 in May with 5 HR
- .327 in June with 4 HR
- .220 in July with 2 HR
A concerning trend. But if anyone is wondering why the Reds offense is sputtering in July, here is a big part of the answer. No Yappi posters are screaming about Winker because the BA for the year is still .290. Gotta look closer.
But even with that, the bullpen is the gaping wound that needs fixed up.

I thought in Friday's game, the Brewers looked like the team that was 4 games behind, they were pushing the narrative. They started runners, they were aggressive. We just sit back and wait for the long ball.
Yesterday not withstanding, the starting pitching was pretty good. Now the next step is for Mahle and Castillo to not walk so many guys and run the pitch counts up. Castillo should have gone 7, but he walked some guys in the 5th and 6th and ran his pitch count up where Bell had to get him. The best way to fix out bullpen is to limit their innings.

0 for 6, left 9 runners on base tonight. He’s f’n done. Either bench or DFA him.Those are great points, I mean, back in 2019, we probably thought Geno was going to hit 50 bombs a year and the contract looked like a steal for the Reds. Things do change in this game drastically. Look at a guy like Christian Yelich, signed a 9 year, $215 million dollar deal in 2019...he's not been very good the past 12 months and they owe him a pile of money. He's signed through 2029!!!
Reds front office should be embarrassed running out the rag arms they have in the bullpen. What happened to Santillan? Isn’t he a long reliever now?Any surprise the Bullpen & Suarez lost the game again? It wouldn’t be so aggravating if it wasn’t those 2 factions almost exclusively responsible for their losses.
Suarez needs to be benched, let the Lopez kid playAny surprise the Bullpen & Suarez lost the game again? It wouldn’t be so aggravating if it wasn’t those 2 factions almost exclusively responsible for their losses.
But again, where are the quality relievers on the trade block? They need to make a move but the market is thinReds front office should be embarrassed running out the rag arms they have in the bullpen. What happened to Santillan? Isn’t he a long reliever now?
He absolutely does. This isn’t a slump, it’s a new equilibriumSuarez needs to be benched, let the Lopez kid play
They should have addressed this before the season. They let Disco, Bradley and Iglesias go. Not that Iglesias was all that great but he’s light years better than the trash they have now.But again, where are the quality relievers on the trade block? They need to make a move but the market is thin
