Capn12 Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Grandal at 2 and Moncada at 5 seems odd, but...just win. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably after the parrot looked as awesome as he did. And probably someone asked him about what he was planning to do with his unemployment money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxnfins Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 (edited) The way Moncada has been swinging #5 is a good place for him, he's going to get something for how hard he's been hitting his outs.... and giving Eloy protection is ideal. Should be able to get him some opportunities with RISP as well. Edited October 1, 2020 by Soxnfins 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can be a lot more aggressive with his swing. He also provides solid protection for Eloy. Grandal has a hot bat so I'm okay with him second. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capn12 Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 On a side note, it appears that the Reds will exit the postseason, having never scored a run. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigHurt3515 Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Best lineup of the year, IMO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 So Mazara went from shouldn't be on the playoff roster to a member of the optimal line up with 2 ABs. One being a strikeout, although he was screwed. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soxfan49 Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Only way the lineup could be better is if Eloy was healthy in LF and McCann was the DH. Otherwiss, this is good as hell on paper. Go get 'em! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like this... Reds have a team that can sneak up on you and bite you it seems.... Any of those teams are more than welcome to exit said stage. A's are the same way.

Especially, dare I say, with Mazara actually looking serviceable lately. Engel in LF is excellent. Also good to see Jose get that 1st inning AB. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garcia looks so rusty and overpowered at the plate, which is expected. Not sure why Encarnacion started yesterday. With Eloy back this looks like the best group of 9 to be in the lineup. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
