8/1 - Reds (Lively) vs Cubs (Steele): 7:05pm, Marquee

[Wilson A2000]

In his pregame interview on 670, Ross sounded like he and Mancini were buds and was bummed to see him get DFA’d. Ross must have his friendship could his lineup making when it came to Mancini because he kept on talking about the metrics of Mancini vs Jeimer.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

oh btw we're winning

[Derwood]

This Reds' infield is hilariously bad

[Jason Ross]

I like it when the Cubs hit the ball over the fence.

[chibears55]

That a cool way to start a game 

[UMFan83]

Extend Candelario

[Derwood]

BABIP gods are smiling tonight

[Tryptamine]

This has started well

[UMFan83]

Dammit Barnhart

[Tryptamine]

Ok fire Barnhart into the sun. More sacrifices to the baseball gods.

[WhyCantWeWin]

I was hoping they could have shipped out Barnhart to some of those catcher needy teams. Sucks to have him this year and next.

And Bellinger...

Both under 30 and can be guys they build around along with Swanson and Nico.

They can look to trade him in offseason  even if they need to add cash to the deal, it only 3 mil..

It also minimal enough to if worse comes to worse just DFA him in ST

[Y2J]

Well, this went from fun to sort of poopy in a hurry.

[Tryptamine]

Laugh, this is ridiculous.  3 wild pitches and an error, Cincy right back in it.

[UMFan83]

Quite a banner 2 innings for Barnhart (I’m not watching so not sure if the WPs were at all his fault)

[Derwood]

The Barnhart game

2 of the 3 he probably should of had considering all he brings to the table is defense. 

[UMFan83]

What was that error on Candelario like? Another guy forced into 1B action that can’t play 1B?

Ball just ate him up on a hard ground ball. Rolled up his arm and into right field.

[Tryptamine]

Tauchmann was a really good pick up. 

[Derwood]

Both catchers suck

3 wild pitches, 3 stolen bases, 2 throwing errors and we're not through the 2nd yet.

Nice AB Happ
