Need to keep them off the board here and take our chances against their bullpen

Not an aesy chance but Keuchel should be out of the inning

Actually would have preferred to have the pitcher batting 8th.

Difficult matchup today. I was fine with a split coming in, so Sox are playing with house money as far as I‘m concerned. Just keep treading water until we acquire some OF help

I am more amazed that he managed to hit a groundball against a shoulder high fastball.

He swings at everything though, that will hold him back

.

Phrasing,

I think Hamilton would look overmatched against whatever Yermin and Danny Mendick threw

Appreciate the hustle from Mendick and Madrigal even in a blowout

So did numerous other teams. ?‍♂️

He will be fine, check out his statcast page, he is making good contact, his Babip is comically low

Reds pulling their starters already...

Let Cease hit and them take him out ?

It’s still more or less a big league lineup, the difference between the worst and the best lineup in mlb is about 1.6ish runs per game. Even shutting down the worst offense is no small feat

I am not too worried about CF if Engel can indeed be back soonish, but we need an upgrade in RF. Eaton has been brutal save for the first week or so.

Step on the brakes a little bit, dude ?

He has been improving every start. You can see he is still a project mechanically, but there have been signs all season that he is a better pitcher than last year

That was one unlucky bounce, hope Yas is alright

Romano looks like Adam Dunn up there, he is huge

110ish would be my guess

Give some credit to TLR for allowing Cease to swing

The Reds have abandoned defense completely the last couple of years. They had Moustakas play second, Castellanos as an outfielder. Why not play an overweight Suarez at SS?

That’s what I imagine how it would look like if Yermin played SS

Mendick deserves to stay on the team for good. He is a nice little player that shouldn’t be the 27th man.
