We’ve been after good pitching for years! Now that you have a good young pitcher under a good contract WHY would you want to look to move him??

Because he's a Cubs fan.:lol2:

The Reds are sellers.

 

I agree on Iglesias. Teams will overpay for a closer and the Reds should cash in.

 

I wouldn't be surprised to see Sonny Gray moved for the right price. Moving those two would bring a nice little haul for the Reds.

Only players I see the Reds moving would be Roark, Iglesias, Puig, Wood, Gennett, Diedrich and possibly Garrett.

It was a good try. I'm sure @LRCW can explain what went wrong. Maybe like MJ said, using the name Homer Bailey in your post took away the magic.

I have much to learn.

Well sometimes the truth hurts, but the blame falls on you @Voice of Reason. For the reverse jinx to have it's full power you can't have people bringing attention to the fact that the reverse jinx is being used. It's a very delicate and precise process.

I know there is probably pretty much no chance that we sign Puig and it probably isn't in the Reds best interest financially but I really do like him on this team. Sure he'll make a bonehead play every once in a while, but he plays hard. Loved the single that 95% of the majors would settle for that turned into a double.

The big question though is he only hustling because he's playing for a big contract?

Mahler gets a 4-0 lead and he walks the lead off hitter the very next inning. It is hard to understand.

And it’s exactly why he’s 2-10 pitcher.

Just now saw this. I pray everything went well yesterday @doomer.

I was talking about Offense. Not pitching or Bowman. Looks like I am out for the rest of the year. I got released from thread starting.

I have no idea why I quoted your post. I could have sworn I quoted @voiceofreason’s post.

Reds score and have men on first and third and Votto up. Votto and Suarez both strikeout looking. You have to swing at borderline pitches. This is why the Reds can't win. Must have your best guys produce.

I disagree with you about Bowman. He has been outstanding the majority of his outings.

Puig just showed why we are #30 in base running.

It is way more than mind boggling how stupid this team is on the bases.

Who is up against the Indians? I lost track of our rotation.

I think @sumoroyal should get the nod in honor and memory of his Dad.

I like to think @nkypete’s presence at today’s game was a big confidence boost for Castillo today.

Amir Garrett place on the DL with a lat strain. Not good. Not one lefty on the roster now.

I'll be there!

Well that certainly makes me feel worse about today's game. You're supposed to be in Chattanooga.

It seems like every time the Reds have a huge chance of gaining some big momentum it comes down to having their ace on the mound against the Brewers, and he has failed miserably the first two times. Let's see if Castillo can prove today he's deserving of being considered one of the game's best pitchers, or if he shows again he can't handle a big game.

The home plate umpire tonight is AWFUL!!

David Bell sucks as a manager.

I'll keep it unanimous.

People I know who have visited a lot of ballparks all seem to like Comerica. For thise who have been there, what stands out about Comerica?

 

In fact, not just on Comerica, I would like to hear why people like the parks they rate highly.

It's the beauty of the skyline for me at PNC.

I'll be going to Petco for the first time on Friday July 12th. I'm really looking forward to adding it to my list of visited MLB ballparks.

Josh Hancock in an automobile accident.

Thanks. He was a former Red as well. The Cardinals also had one of their top prospects (Oscar Taveras) die in the off season a few years back.

Not sure the Cardinals did, but I know the Angels had another one. I believe his name was Adenhart (sp?) and it was a car accident.

Yeah I remember that, and the Marlins had Jose Fernandez, and the Dodgers had Tim Crews die during a boating accident during spring training one year as well.

Sorry to hear this news. Being a St. Louis Cardinals fan this reminds me of Darryl Kyle.

Didn’t the Cardinals have another pitcher die mid season? His name escapes me right now.

Sorry for your loss. Praying for you and your family.

Some pecans or almonds.

@LRCW - :no: - the seat on the minor league bus next to me is open.

Thanks, but I was just given my unconditional release by @Voice of Reason.
