Is it not the braves 2nd base guy,  Albers ? 

Ozzie Albies?? Maybe…I just assumed it was Acuna when I noticed the jersey/cap!

But that would make sense…Acuna probably isn’t chasing a DQ check these days.

New member here. Sorry if I've missed this topic before.  But I have to say - am I the only one who notices that Kiriloff pulls off of every pitch?  He steps out and to the right away from the pitcher with his right foot every time.  Am I wrong?

I had to look Twice ,  Little Albers  has over 30+ Homers  

[RpR]

Is there any logical reason the Reds are sending out so much of their pitching staff?

[stringer bell]

Funderburk needs to be better on the first hitter he faces. He’s been outstanding besides that, but getting the first guy is crucial for relief pitchers.

castro 

[Aggies7]

Byron catches that. Too.

[Sutter50]

Holy cow Willie!!!

[RpR]

Castro will be back next year , if not, the Twins FO has brain worms.

[Squirrel]

Wow! Castro!

[MMMordabito]

Have a day, Willi!!

[stringer bell]

He got a big Break on a 2-0 pitch -   Changed the whole inning,

Damn. Did not hear that. Sounds like a ball during infield practice got under his foot and rolled it over ☹️

You are not wrong. I have no idea how long he has been doing that. Now watch, in his next at bat he will not do it!

He never showed the base stealing ability he has this year. He’s a below-average hitter and was never a premium defender  at up-the-middle positions. 
 

Castro has been outstanding this year in the field and on the bases.

1st Batter ,  he faced

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Radio guys saying Lewis is hurt 

[IaBeanCounter]

Since the Reds used 4 pitchers before Lively came in, it looks like his game to the end.

[Aggies7]

Lewis is hurt. I cannot believe he’s still in this game. All things considered. Terrible 

[Aggies7]

WHY CANT WE HAVE NICE THINGS FOR THE LOVE OF GOD
