absolutely floored at the lack of people at the CIN/PIT game monday night.

you expect low attendance, but wow.  cold night in PIT doesn't help, but I can't remember seeing this park this empty.

contreras back!  DH'ing, hitting 3rd.

suzuki back, but not in the lineup.

j.young optioned to AAA, hermosillo DFA'd

madrigal (IL, groin) will not return this year.  he's doing light baseball activity, but he won't progress fast enough to return.  his game relies very heavily on hauling ass any time he makes contact as well as being able to quickly move around and pivot in the IF.

alexander canario hit HR #5 for iowa today (78 PA).  he's got 36 across A+ to AAA.

righty, plays all 3 OF slots (dunno how good any of it is, though).

he came over in the SF/bryant trade with killian.

d.ross was booing schwarber (playfully) when he came to the plate at the top 1st.

baseball is fun.

j.steele not expected to return in 2022.  he's not shut down, but he's not going to be rushed to make it back before the season ends.

suzuki still not in the lineup wednesday.

    I would say also in the bright side column is Busch looked pretty good overall at the plate. Alzolay…man, that hurts but most of the time he’s not giving up a homer to that guy. To me the worst was almonte hanging that pitch to Garcia. He hung another one to the next hitter too and got away with it on an 0-1.

    amaya blocked like 6-8 of smyly's pitches in the dirt very cleanly...not even an exaggeration, smyly threw a ton of pitches bouncing in tonight.

    neris looking like his old self was a relief (no pun), too.

    In looking for bright spots the defense was outstanding tonight. The “stars” are going to need to shine quite a bit brighter than they did tonight offensively though for this to be a successful season.

    Good baseball game. Hopefully Steele is pitching again in April (but I’m not counting on it). 

  • crunch (view)

    boo.

    smyly to face the 2/3/4 hitters with a man on 2nd in extras.

    this doesn't seem like a 8 million dollar managerial decision.

    i 100% agree with you, but i dunno how jed wants to run things.  the default is delay.  i would choose brown.

    like hellfrozeover says, could be smyly since he's technically fresh and stretched.

    anyway, on a pure talent basis....brown is the best option.

  • Childersb3 (view)

    Use pitchers when you believe they're good. Don't plan their clock.

    I'm sorry. I'm simply anti-clock/contract management. Play guys when they show real MLB potential talent.

    If Brown hadn't been hurt with the Lat Strain he would've gotten the call, and not Wick.

    Give him a chance. 

    But Wesneski probably gets it

    alzolay...bro...

  • crunch (view)

    wow.  what a blown call.  go cubs, i guess.
