  1. I'm 50/50. Was assuming Jax for the 9th but with only 12 pitches from Duran I'm good with that too.
  2. I'm reliably informed that is not possible.
  3. I'm taking personal credit for a home run call. Just as they were talking about having no pinch running options I said to myself, self, they won't need fast runners when Willie goes yard. I'm putting it on my personal scoreboard. You don't have to recognize it.
  4. They are leaning into it with all the advertisements because the media money mess is worse than anyone will admit.
  5. For some people that advertising is counter productive. They spend equal time on disclaimers as the product. I like gambling but it just serves to remind me how rigged the game is. It's going to go the same direction as online poker eventually.
  6. Interesting to take Irvin out with the lefties coming up. Feels like we are going to need some length somewhere. Noted one batter specialist. Good job Sands.
  7. Wasn't there a recent thread discussing how catchers can influence pitcher behavior?
  8. I don't know who Oris is, and I'm not going to look, but they are right up there with Bally's in businesses I will not willingly patronize. Free the kitty.
  9. Getting deep in their pen in game 1 is as good a way to start the series as possible. Methinks there will be many pitching changes in the next few days.
  10. Plenty if righties in their pen. Rocco will be a managin this week.
  11. Did Vazquez just throw it around with guys on base?
  12. I did get out to see our lovely boy king today. Walker Jenkins is an actual thing, and he is nice. He looks like he belongs. Full stop. I have no doubt he will open at AA next year. He looks comfortable, he's not overwhelmed, he is as ready for AA as anyone else in a the ballpark today. One week is not a sample to draw to, but the quality of at bat is already AA level, at worst. He hit several balls very hard, including pulling 97 on a line after swinging through 97 one pitch prior and a hard ground ball off a lefty that I scored a hit (official error). He stole 2nd twice off the same lefty after being called back on a batter interference. The run scoring double was 105 minimum off the bat, most likely more. One foul ball was hit at least that hard as well, but at a home run launch angle. He was 3-5 in my score book. I wish he had been in center field as there were a couple of balls I would have like to see how he handled but its not his defense that has our attention. Last year when Paddack came to town for a late rehab I said he looked like a man among boys. Walker Jenkins ain't that just yet, but he's barely 19. He's as good as anyone here though, already. I'll be at the ballpark many times early next year.
  13. I'm not sure we are watching the same team here.
  14. You still have to give an opening to get to the base, obstruction otherwise. In a bang bang play like that it's hard to have obvious intent to block.
  15. Did kinda feel like that blocking they were calling at second base early in the season though. Haven't heard much of that in quite a while. For good reason IMO.
  16. He didn't setup blocking it, he does get to field the throw wherever it takes him.
  17. Non sequitor much? Sim has been damn good and pitched his way out of trouble. Reds Daily has to be losing their mind right now.
  18. Great play Vazquez and SWR. Also good umpire work with the kick save on the mask and in position.
  19. Summary of mound visit. Don't throw that pitch Alcala did.
