THE DUKE Posted March 29, 2019 Author Share Posted March 29, 2019 Luis Castillo was nasty yesterday. He had 11 swinging strikes on his changeup, and his fastball averaged over 96 mph (topped out at 98.2). If he looks like that all year, he's going to be an ace.

THE DUKE Posted April 2, 2019 Author Share Posted April 2, 2019 Hunter Greene going down with TJS. See you in July 2020. Maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE DUKE Posted April 12, 2019 Author Share Posted April 12, 2019 Could new pitching coach Derek Johnson have fixed Robert Stephenson? Bob Steve has been our best reliever to start the year. 6.1 IP, 1.42 ERA, 0.63 WHIP, 8 K vs 1 BB. Granted, it's early, but he's looking much more confident on the mound and hitting his spots for the first time since Low A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beck Bristow Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 I'm surprised. I thought the only way that he would be successful is to be put in the rotation and sent out there every 5 days with no extra stress on him. He did so poorly with the erratic use as a reliever last year, I didn't believe he had the mental makeup. Glad to see him pitching with confidence.

THE DUKE Posted April 23, 2019 Author Share Posted April 23, 2019 Nick Senzel is back from injury and has been assigned to AAA. I assume he gets a week or two there to act as another bit of spring training and we see him up playing CF then. The clock is ticking for Scott Schebler to get going if he still wants to get consistent at bats. He showed some signs of life after his 1 for 20 start for about 5 games but is 1 for his last 15.

Beck Bristow Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 I'm guessing injuries or trade will open up a slot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE DUKE Posted April 24, 2019 Author Share Posted April 24, 2019 After the disastrous 1-8 start, the Reds are now 8-5 over their last 13 games. A good win over the Braves last night, it'd be big to win this series against a team most see as a contender in the NL. Bob Steve was clutch yet again bailing out Gray when it fell apart with back to back Ks. Gray was great until the 6th, but they don't only count your good innings. He's still been very good on the year though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE DUKE Posted May 1, 2019 Author Share Posted May 1, 2019 Word is Senzel is getting called up Friday. Other than the occasional day off that should have the Reds playing an every day OF of Winker/Senzel/Puig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beck Bristow Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 It was bound top happen eventually. Feel a little bad for Schebler. Okay player, horrible start probably doomed him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay player, horrible start probably doomed him. Long term the odds were stacked against him. He got a shot though, that's more than a lot of guys get. Josh VanMeter and Brian O'Grady are murdering baseballs down in AAA right now (both are over 1.150 OPS for the year so far) but aren't on the 40 man and may not get that shot. Schebler just didn't get it done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beck Bristow Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 True. He actually exceeded my expectations for him from the trade when he came in. If he ends up a backup outfielder, that's pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beck Bristow Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Senzel coming to solve all the problems. We'll probably win out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE DUKE Posted June 21, 2019 Author Share Posted June 21, 2019 Nick Lodolo started his pro career last night with a scoreless inning with 2 K's. Gave up a single but then that guy was caught stealing. His innings will be limited after a full season at TCU, i'd expect about 40 IP the rest of the season for him after around 100 IP in the college season.
