Judging by the weather forecast, I think tomorrow’s game will be postponed.
Glad to see David still hasn’t quite figured out how to manage a bullpen. Hopefully we won’t need any bullpen help tomorrow.
We’ll get ‘em next time
“I’m so flipping tired of us having a kick ass bullpen!!!!”
-no reds fan in the history of baseballdom
Lucas Sims
TJ Antone
🙁
The bullshit from the bullpen coming from so many different directions is pretty disconcerting. Shades of 2021. But most the offense did well, and Cessa showed that he can be an effective starter. Let’s get the series W tomorrow.
They aren’t all going to be fun to watch but hopefully there will be less Bad News Bear vibes in the future
Our minor league pen has reached midseason form
the turning point will be when we fire bell and get someone that can lead us deep
great stuff from cessa
Classic Reds, sad thing is we probably won’t even start to be remotely good until Reds stop paying Votto and Griffey
Maybe this isn’t the year to watch every game. DirecTV is expensive…
There’s our Reds! First major bullpen meltdown out the way! On to the next.
David Bell is mediocre at best. But this shit is not his fault. The best manager in baseball wouldn’t be able to do anything with this roster.
3-159
Bullpen gonna be great tomorrow
If the Reds didn’t have the most bullpen arms used coming into today (though I think we were) we certainly are now. Bell can’t keep burning arms on three batters. He needs to get comfortable having guys go more than one inning or we’ll end up in situations where our best relievers aren’t available.
Geno is apparently tearing it up out in Seattle right now 🤦♂️
