September 5, 20179 yr Author I think we're at the time of the year where having to go to the bullpen a lot earlier in the year is finally starting to catch up. I think you can see that in Lorenzen, as well as Peralta. No question, that happened a month ago. They are severely overworked.

September 5, 20179 yr Amir Garrett, Rookie Davis, Jackson Stephens, and Cody Reed are being recalled from Louisville. Garrett recently threw a complete game, 7-inning shut out allowing only one (1) hit, one (1) walk and ten (10) K's. Cody Reed threw 3 shutout innings with 2 K's in AAA.
September 6, 20179 yr Author Stephenson with another good start. The walks are still an issue, but he's pitching around it now.
September 6, 20179 yr Stephenson with another good start. The walks are still an issue, but he's pitching around it now. In his 7 starts this season he's 4-2 with a 3.55 ERA. Still at over 6 BB/9 which has to improve, but also over 9 K/9, He's finally starting to show the stuff that made him one of the elite prospects in all the game.
September 6, 20179 yr Stephenson with another good start. The walks are still an issue, but he's pitching around it now. Enjoyed seeing him get out of the bases loaded jam early in the game.
September 6, 20179 yr Outside of the young pitching some story lines to follow in the final 23 games.... - Votto needs 6 HRs and 7 RBI to get to 40 & 100. The RBI's should be a given, the HRs will be an interesting one to follow. - Duvall needs 4 HRs and 8 RBI to get to 35 & 100. I assume he'll get there. - Gennett needs 6 HRs and 15 RBI to get to 30 & 100. I'm guessing he comes up short on both, but you never know. - Suarez needs 6 HR to get to 30. Can he do it? - Billy needs 12 SB to get to 70....Will he get there? I say yes.
September 6, 20179 yr Working the last business day special of each season always bums me out just a little.

Some very strong individual performances this year.
September 6, 20179 yr It's unreal to think about the Reds offensive production this season. Some very strong individual performances this year. Yep. It's what is getting me really excited about next season with how the young pitching has looked the last few weeks. They have the offense right now to win (minus RF). If the young arms can continue to build the foundation over the last 3.5 weeks, this team could be a legit WC contender next season.

And add in another guy that's likely going to get on base 35% of the time or better.
September 6, 20179 yr And add in another guy that's likely going to get on base 35% of the time or better. If he can stay healthy. That's been a problem so far in his young career.
September 6, 20179 yr Author If he can stay healthy. That's been a problem so far in his young career. I meant Senzel, but yeah I guess add in two guys like that.
