He may have tweaked something . Wasn't there an injury delay right before he came to bat ?

Just saw it was an ankle injury

Abreu bruised ankle, day to day.

Renteria is managing to lose on the margins. He’s paid to tank.

Hated him pulling Shields there, especially if you're bringing in another righty 

renteria seems on the verge of losing the clubhouse imo.

Yep, just a dumb decision by Renteria...no shock, he's an idiot

4-8 weeks for a sprained thumb?

Typical 2 degree ligament sprain is 6-8weeks. 

Reds have hit 9 grannies this year and a few during their 14 out of 18 streak.

Can Shields manage instead?

When you bring in Minaya, you are asking for trouble.i feel sorry for Shields. 

Master general Ricky R at work again!

Ricky is always managing with an eye on the 2019 draft

I don’t see the reason to have taken out Shields. You bring in the very inconsistent Minaya and get a four pitch walk

You know wouldn’t be surprised if he’s let go at end of the year. While wins and losses may not be priority development at the ML level is. Ultimately it comes how has Moncada and the other guys developed this year. Hopefully RH and KW know it too.

Renteria has proven time and again this year he has no feel for when his starters are fine or out of gas.  He let Lopez throw 30 more pitches than Shields yesterday in insane heat.

lol, wut?

Haha, thought that was gone.  Happy for Shields, Ricky still sucks 

the reds are dumber than we are.

oh man lol... i like green lights.. but not sure about that situation.

I'd be really surprised.

Phew...

Me too, Hahn will need a scapegoat if things go bad next year.

Nice.

Shields still looks pissed.  And rightfully so.

That's really dramatic. 

Is it though? Seems someone gets injured every week. As soon as we get to see progress from someone, regression happens. Has happened since spring training.

All I'm saying is it's frustrating.
