2016 Cincinnati Reds

(APRIL 11th)

Brandon Finnegan no-hit the Cubs through 6.67 innings before ceding a single to David Ross.

He then walked pinch-hitter Matt Szczur before giving way to reliever Caleb Cotham.

Cotham then walked Dexter Fowler. Yet another relief pitcher came in (Tony Cingrani), and he gave up a 2-run single to Jason Heyward.

Kris Bryant was retired on a groundout, and the Reds ended the inning with a 3-2 lead.

Finnegan is in line for either a win or a no-decision.

I predict that Jay Bruce will go to the Mets this year to replace whatever garbage is in LF for them. I also predict Votto is gone, maybe to New York if Mr. Wilpon gets a good enough deal, cause the Mets are almost broke.

Michael Conforto is a LHB playing LF for the Mets. His .788 OPS this season is almost identical to Bruce's career line.

    • It’s a question that can’t be answered definitively.   When will Baumann pitch again?  Maybe today.  Maybe Tuesday.   How many innings will Kremer pitch today?   How many runs ahead or behind will the Orioles be ahead in the 6th inning?   Does Hyde plan to use Suarez as the first reliever if Kremer gets tired or knocked out before completing 6?    I maybe Kremer goes 7 and Akin and Webb are used in the 8th and 9th. It’s a question that can’t be answered.  Probably today but maybe not.
    • Closers, generally come in clean in the ninth...no one on base. Do you really need K's? You need some who throws strikes, keeps the ball in the park IMO. You also need someone who can adjust on the mound if he is having trouble finding the plate. Many of you get all hot for the guy that can throw upper 90's and K's 1+ / inning. Kimbrel makes me nervous Don Stanhouse nervous...at least he had a big K against Elly last night. Oh, when do I want a K pitcher or relief pitcher?? When a guy comes in in a close game, inherited baserunners, runner on third, less than two outs (7-9 innings), good hitters up. Does anyone bring a "Closer" in in the 7th in those situations? Maybe the 8th with one out or two because of the match up. We (baseball) have stereotyped "closers".... IMO, you need a guy with balls, and guys who opponents have trouble barreling up on, have the ability to pitch around difficult hitters. 
    • The ball looked real good coming out of his hand.  It had to be said.  😁
    • He hasn’t, but since he threw 5.2 last Sunday, I wouldn’t have expected to see him until Friday.  My guess is they want to use him for long relief or a low leverage situation for the time being, and one hasn’t arisen the last two nights.  
    • It’s not a dumb question. People should be able to rely on this community for information. Sometimes life happens and you can’t scour X/twitter.
