Good point. But given the fragile state of the team I worried his concentration or confidence would suffer. And as it turned out he couldn't finish the inning. Often a great defensive play pumps up a pitcher. This seemed to have the opposite effect. But overall it was encouraging watching him earn more starts. 

Good learning lesson for him. Yes in a season that looks like going in wrong direction he has looked good. When Silseth comes back halos may go back to 6 man rotation to limit inn.

Soriano had a really good outing. But I would have pulled him after Rengifo's error. I just had a feeling that it would be disruptive and it would be better to take him out then while things were all positive. But with this bullpen ... 

Like clockwork, inner diamond defense creates a critical error. Rengifo needs to never play second again. But his bat still is better than most everyone else. Maybe rotate him at third, RF, DH. Stay away from short and second. 

Getting shut out even when their starter is forced to leave in the first? With a Reds team with a lot of backups? 

Drifting into oblivion quickly unless the homestand is a great success. Getting close to the time Perry needs to perform radical surgery. 

First sign of trouble let him work thru it. When going gets tough the tough get going. Soriano has been a bright spot.

I was also wrong I said it would be fun watching young players develop. Not having any fun yet. Fire in Ron Washingtons belly is turning into an ulcer.

Sano hits HR today

Halos win today come home get on a roll. LET'S GO HALOS 

I feel bad for Rendon as he just started to play well. He has been injured and he cannot control that. 

I'm picking up Sano. I had Rendon after someone dropped him 2 weeks ago. I also had Schanuel at 1B and traded for Neto. I am not in first place in my league. 

Win on Sunday come home get on winning streak. 

Is it too early for list of tradeable players at deadline? Can start with BP the whole BP could go.

Dodgers lost now 7 of last 9 and 2 and 6 on homestand.

I would not lose any sleep if halos did not bring Walsh back after all halos have Sano.

This team doesn't know how to bunt.

Still think they can sweep Cindy.

No, but will get back to 500 heading home after game on Sunday. 

Sano hits first HR today

I actually kind of like Schanuel in the 9-hole. Basically like a leadoff hitters hitting ahead of Rendon and Trout but most likely gets one at bat less a game

Yeah anybody on he can bunt them over

Yep, Snell looks awful so far. Here's his StatCast profile:

Halos get him at a reduced price in off season

Dodgers lost 

Sano and Adell hit HR tonight and lead halos to win.

I commend you for always admitting when you were wrong. We could all get more practice in that.

Your right about that

I know, right? I am still waiting for at least one of the several underachievers to get sent down, benched, or waived. He can absolutely can start with Hicks. Other than his throwing arm, Hicks absolutely brings nothing positive to the team. He is worthless.

With his AARP card discount at Denny's of 10 per cent

Are the Reds a tier 6 team?

 

Asking for a friend.

After Angels sweep Reds they will be tier 6

ST 2025 Stephenson will not be ready. Perry made some dumb signings in Kolarek, Plesac, Stephenson and Cisneros. Some good ones in Matt Moore and Cimber. Garcia signing has looked better of late. Minor league signings of Strickland and Fullmer have looked good. Stephenson signing will put a bad taste in Arte Moreno mouth.

Tyler Thomas has pitched well for Bees

I wonder if Minasian got idea from ATL and SF. 

I hope this is last relief pitcher halos sign for more than 1 year.

I like this team as it is more of a team this year. Will have many ups and downs but a fun team to watch.
