I like that the reds are playing good, in our 2 previous sweeps this year against Milw and LAD, our next series we came out flat in the first game against teams that werent playing well at the time… Reds and Mets. Even I think after big series wins esp sweeps, teams come out with a ho hum attitude the next game but with visits to cincy and chg this week, I dont see that being the case. Honestly the series that worries me the most is against the Marlins next week after playing the cubs and reds.
stl and gscott make very valid points. I just worry about signing a pitcher who hasn’t pitched in a game since last season without any spring training. look what happen last year with holland. As far as a starter< I think madbum would be the best choice because he has playoff exp, and being that he’s only 29, we can sign him to like a 5 year deal. Scherzer is the sentimental choice being he’s from stl and would be a great fit to our rotation, I’d still go with Madbum because he’s a lefty, has playoff experience, we can get him long term. only question is who do we risk giving up in the trade?
I’m with you rats about comparing hicks to rosenthal but I think hicks is more an 8th inning guy. Perhaps we should think about picking up Kimbrel
Good game by Waino but question is with all these pitches, how will it effect him next Saturday against the cubs?
I think there’s more pressure on the pen to hold a 1-0 lead than than letting Waino come out and at least start the 9th.
Does Schildt dare bring him out to start the 9th? I say yes as long as his spot doesn’t.come up I the 8th
I think Schildt is doing this because Waino will have an extra day of rest with the off day tomorrow.
