jj-cf-stlParticipantLate and close more often than I’d expect.
August 30, 2025 at 7:43 pm #291610Contreras crashes number 20 a long ways.
August 30, 2025 at 7:48 pm #291611
jj-cf-stlParticipantHold and save time for the pen.

ParticipantWell contreras gives one a ride. Might be enough. Ill be honest i expected the reds to be a little better at this point of the season wuth francona managing. Offense is a big struggle for them. Cardinals struggle that way too but i expected them to. Usually the reds issues have been pitching. Their pitching isnt terrible this year mostly.
August 30, 2025 at 7:51 pm #291613The Reds have some really good young starters Willie. But unfortunately for them, Francona doesn’t hit.

jj-cf-stlParticipantIs Alcala the arb guy we just acquired?
August 30, 2025 at 7:54 pm #2916153 really loud pieces of contact in 3 batters thus far against Alcala. One that the hitter got just under and went to the warning track. The next was a long homer. And the most recent went just foul. Then a walk. Alcala out of the game after 1/3 inning.
August 30, 2025 at 7:54 pm #291616JJ – Yeah – they picked him up off waivers about 3 weeks ago.
Good stuff. Really poor control. Kind of like Roycroft. Just gives us a depth BP arm.
August 30, 2025 at 7:59 pm #291617
jj-cf-stlParticipantTryout and tender eligible.

ParticipantYea jnevel i hear ya. Just kind of odd that their hitting would go south but i guess it happens that way sometimes. Maybe im overestimating francona. Cardinals have good arms as well. Teams are prob about even on paper as they are in standings.
August 30, 2025 at 8:03 pm #291619Pages hits one out to get us back to up 2.

jj-cf-stlParticipantPedro got a fat one and he’s on the ball good right now.

ParticipantPages doesnt really scream a baseball player when u see him but he does ok.
August 30, 2025 at 8:06 pm #291622According to gamecast, in the 8th the pitches to Church were FB 99, FB 99, FB 98, Cutter 92. FB 99. K.
Welcome to the show.
August 30, 2025 at 8:10 pm #291623Coming into today, Pages has a 191 WRC+ in August. He had been best in baseball for a few weeks but he’s dropped back to 9th. That home run helps.
August 30, 2025 at 8:12 pm #291624
jj-cf-stlParticipantHe has been handling inside pitches well.
August 30, 2025 at 8:15 pm #291625Blaze Jordan got his first Redbirds homer tonight.
Matthews also pitching well tonight for Memphis. 4 innings and 1 hit allowed thus far.
August 30, 2025 at 8:27 pm #291626I have been looking at the box JJ a double Quinn pitching well so far.
August 30, 2025 at 8:29 pm #291627Cardinals win 4-2 without striking out any Reds. Lots and lots of Reds ground balls.
August 30, 2025 at 8:29 pm #291628
jj-cf-stlParticipantLeahy save. Might as well get back to .500 since we are this close.
August 30, 2025 at 8:30 pm #291629Good starting pitching sure is fun. Really funky play in the first but the rest was good.
August 30, 2025 at 8:36 pm #291630Tanner Franklin started the Peoria game tonight after just one outing at Palm Beach. 2 1/3 innings, no hits, 3 K’s, 3 walks, 1 earned run. I didn’t watch any of it. Just looking at the box score.

ParticipantGood win tonight. Dont really understand the bunt attempt by reds there in 9th. Dowm by 1 i see, by 2, im not giving up an out. Plus the guy obviously doesnt understand bunting with runners on base.
