tibor75 88 Posted September 30, 2020 Report Share Posted September 30, 2020 First playoff game since the Stiller debacle. Bauer pitches a gem - about 12K in 7+ innings. 2 hits allowed. tiRed bats do nothing. Bases loaded and 1 out - no runs. Lose in the 13th. I assume they got nothing for tomorrow.

Le Tigre 2,353 Posted September 30, 2020 Report Share Posted September 30, 2020 Baseball is a crazy game. Might just sweep the next two. Or, maybe not. Would say two straight in the ATL would be tough, but no one is in the stadium anyway, so no great advantage Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cricket 957 Posted September 30, 2020 Report Share Posted September 30, 2020 They certainly blew several chances to score today with both ineffective bats when needed and poor base running. [It’s something in the Cincinnati water.] Quote Link to post Share on other sites

claptonrocks 482 Posted September 30, 2020 Report Share Posted September 30, 2020 Before the playoffs started I stated in the Reds forum that this was the worst hitting team I can remember.. Hell in that little bandbox thet play in everyone could hit 25-35 homers.. Good pitching will tone down good hitting.. Good pitching will destroy bad hitting.. Reds are bad...

UncleEarl 753 Posted September 30, 2020 Report Share Posted September 30, 2020 The Reds are an awful team with great starting pitching. The lack of fundamentals in baseball is endemic, but the Reds take the cake. Can’t make contact, can’t run the bases, shaky defense, etc. First baseball game I’ve watched all season. Awful. Not the game I grew up with. Don’t blame Bell. These clods can’t execute basic plays we taught 12 year olds to do. Swing for the fences! They suck. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
I_C_Deadpeople 551 Posted September 30, 2020 Report Share Posted September 30, 2020 I have not followed baseball for years so I was a bit shocked to find the Reds in the playoffs - I thought they were annual losers these days Quote Link to post Share on other sites
|SF2| 4,216 Posted October 1, 2020 Report Share Posted October 1, 2020 That’s all hitters do now, swing for the fences. It’s all analytics just like the 15- 18 foot open jumper is the worst shot in basketball. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Reds have been anywhere between 2-5 games back all season. They have been hot at the end of this season but their slow start made them the 7th seed in the NL. The Braves are the best Offense in the NL, so shutting them down last night to the 1 run was impressive. It's just sad that the 11th, 12th, and 13th innings we left guys stranded, just sad. The team has no small ball game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Le Tigre 2,353 Posted October 1, 2020 Report Share Posted October 1, 2020 Wonder, if this were a full 162 season, and a normal playoff format, how many of the teams involved now would still be there? I could see the Reds as getting one of the “normal” Wild Card play-ins. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

UncleEarl 753 Posted October 2, 2020 Report Share Posted October 2, 2020 Every since the collapse against SF these guys have been a joke. What's the one thing all those teams have in common? The guy at first base is supposed to be their "leader." The worse he plays, the more he talks. Time for him to go. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's much harder for small market teams in the MLB than it is in the NFL. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
