Luke is off too. Guy had a horrible year. But still like him.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Dammit I like it.

Dalyn - are you watching live or cutting yourself out from the world for a bit and watching later?

I have no idea how to feel about this lineup. They COULD be good but they could also be absolute trash like they've been most of 2020.

Senzel vs Anderson will be an interesting matchup in game 2.

 

[SJ24]

Acuna, Jr.
Freeman
Ozuna
d'Arnaud
Albies
Duvall
Swanson
Markakis
Riley

Fried

I think Sandoval is there to mainly keep the bench warm.....and he can cover a lot of bench

Castellanos hit for power, but other numbers show he had his worst season.
I don’t expect them to string together many hits and produce runs like that against Fried. What they can do is hit the ball out of the ballpark. They had the 7th most home runs in all of baseball. What does concern mean is Fried’s lack of control at times. Thankfully he wasn’t hurt by the long ball, but a couple walks and a blast is what I think will be his undoing and the only way the Reds win today.

And the Reds had one of the best walk rates in the league.

I'll be about an hour or so behind at first, but should be able to catch up before it's over.

Sandoval. Pablo. Pizza. Churros. Clutchness.

They hit way more at home in that tiny park.

Wonder how our pinch hitters will be deployed. Realistically you can only pinch hit for Markakis or Riley if they gave a same handed pitcher. Guessing we see Sandoval or Culberson for Markakis, and Camargo for Riley.

Yeah. Pinch hitting for Neck when a lefty comes in late and putting Pache out there for defense seems almost a given.

I am pretty sure Panda would pinch hit before jo-gun.

One would hope.

 

[Dalyn]

Better not see Camargo unless Riley, Panda, Culberson, and Ron Washington all die.
