    This has been a very frustrating team who is clearly not living up to their hype
  2. Derwood
    Seiya is completely lost
  3. Derwood
    That's the second ball that I though was 10 rows deep off the bat
  4. Derwood
    Seiya needs a day off. The bullpen, on the other hand, has been fantastic
  5. Derwood
    Reds announcers are making a big deal about how this ump is notorious for calling high strikes but not low strikes (which helps Abbott and screws Stroman)
  6. Derwood
    Let's keep it rolling on this Jesse Plemons lookin' mu-fuh
  7. Derwood
    That looked like it was 450 feet off the bat
  8. Derwood
    Time for an IL stint for dead arm
  9. Derwood
    They're just dinking and dunking him to death here
  10. Derwood
    Morel can't lay off that down and away pitch
  11. Derwood
    Stroman is balls

    Bellinger will hit the open market, so it’s more about resigning him rather than extending him
  14. Derwood
    Do we need two threads about this? It’s diluting the discussion
  15. Derwood
    Apparently Candelario is not in the Nats lineup today
  16. Derwood
    Why is tomorrow not an option?
  17. Derwood
    Buy buy buy!

    8/9 today. Couldn't come up with CLE/3k, but don't really feel bad about it as there are only 4 correct answers.
  19. Derwood
    The Reds have more announcers rotate through their booth than the Cubs, if you can believe it. As someone who is in the Reds' broadcast area, it's confounding how it seems like every game has completely different announcers

    If you take the "Wins Above Replacement" literally, then you can argue that an elite, high leverage reliever is worth more than 1-2 extra wins in a year
  21. Derwood
    I honestly don't know enough about our prospects to argue on a per-prospect basis, but isn't the value of Bednar that he's only 24 and is under control for several years? Plus he's getting better each year (fWAR of 1.2, 1.5 and already 1.8 so far this season)? Again, I don't know that you expend top assets for him, but Bednar seems to be more than a 7th inning rental
  22. Derwood
    My bad, standing must not have been updated yet when I posted
  23. Derwood
    To be clear, I don't think anyone is 100% "hoarding prospects". I do think there is some overvaluing of what are essentially lottery tickets. Maybe it's short-sighted on my part, but I value a 24-year old with 2+ years of great MLB numbers over a 22-year old with zero MLB track record.
  24. Derwood
    Reds now in first place by 1/2 a game, Cubs 3 out
  25. Derwood
    I agree with Kyle as well, insofar as there is always a subset of fans who treat baseball operations like a video game and just want to stockpile assets and always play for 3 years in the future. Someone had a funny term for them way back in the day (some play on Democrats and Republicans).
