Reds Rants with Moose

I’m sorry but Benson has to take a better route.. how are we allowing a triple on that?

ELLY

@CBoxSports Let’s go Dane. Love TJ but let’s see how Dane goes at it

Dane Myers will play center and bat second as the Reds face left-hander Mackenzie Gore this afternoon.

@metal_militia11 @UmpScorecards No I’m fully aware of that. For an umpire, all you want is consistency. Not saying CB is but that miss chart shows he was consistent. Which you can live with as a fan

@Redswith_Moose @UmpScorecards That's called accountability. Now that he can't make bad decisions and get away with it, he actually has to focus

Umpire: CB Bucknor Final: Rays 2, Brewers 8 #RaysUp // #ThisIsMyCrew #TBvsMIL // #MILvsTB More stats for this ump 👇 umpscorecards.com/data/single-um…

@kombsss @dotsonc They were in a tough spot to be fair. Based on the season he had, they had to pay him. Didn’t want a Sam Darnold to happen where you release and then he goes on to be a legend somewhere else

@Redswith_Moose @dotsonc They overpaid Pagan 😭

The Reds need a closer.

@91HyundaiScoop @dotsonc Yes. Name me one legit arm

@Redswith_Moose @dotsonc Uhhh, did you watch any transactions from this year?

@PardonMyTake Sources say CB got up and appealed to 1st base if the batter swung

What a week for CB Bucknor

@Nati_Sports Having an elite glove at 3B is a game changer… But you said it best, the rest of the squad has to produce for that trade to be judged successful On the Reds just doesn’t make sense sadly

The more games I watch, the more the KB Hayes trade just...makes even less sense. Absolutely silly. Krall thought he was COOKING. Just presented himself with another problem. He isn't winning games at 3B with the glove. And the bat is utterly useless.

@UCBarstool You’re a UC fan we wouldn’t expect you to know what good sports are Don’t listen to this guy

Reds are not a good team and it’s not an overreaction.

@BuckeyeNatty Elite fielder If the bat can stick, he should overtake Friedl even though it breaks my heart to say

Dane Meyers might need to be the everyday CF Dude covers so much ground & his arm is night & day better than Friedl’s He jus threw a 1-hop SEED from deep CF to 3B

@RedsDaily4 Tons of baseball to play so no need to overreact Pagan might be an issue but the bullpen always is and is never addressed Love to see Suarez hitting bombs in big moments again though

While it’s super frustrating to lose to the Pirates so often, I probably would have guessed a 3-3 start to the season. I thought they would have went 1-2 vs Boston and 2-1 against the Pirates. I know .500 ball isn’t the goal. But it’s not the end of the world. Lots of baseball left to play.

@Reds Disappointing year after year the bullpen continues to regress The front office never gets anybody that can be of use and it kills the team Early on though let’s hope guys can get some mojo

Final from GABP:

@CincyProblems The legend of Sal continues Big year ahead

Sal Stewart through the first 3 games: 🔴 10 times on base 🔴 7 hits / 4 XBH 🔴 1 home run 🔴 2 RBI / 3 BB / 0 K 🔥 1st in MLB in batting average (.700) 🔥 1st in MLB in OBP (.769) 🔥 1st in NL in SLG (1.300) 🔥 1st in MLB in OPS (2.069) 22 Years Old. #Reds #MVP

@UCBarstool I think he’s similar to India. He’s the heart and soul of the team Trading him would lose the identity. But points are valid he is struggling early this year

Might be time to have a TJ Friedl discussion. It’s been a downhill trend since 2023.

@RedsDaily4 You HAVE to put the damn ball in play

McLain and Elly just have to be better there. Swinging at stuff nowhere near the zone.

🚨Reds vs Pirates game 2 preview⚾️ - Williamson keep momentum from spring - Reds attack Bubba early in zone - likes fastball early - Bullpen stay strong Keep protecting the GABP and take another series

@TheSkippersView It should help umpires dial their zone in. Instead, umpires are too egotistical and view it as a negative. I’ve always stated I would rather impactful moments be decided by umpires rather than ABS. Challenges should stop in the 7th inning

I’m starting to feel bad for home plate umpires. We are watching a career evaporate in front of our eyes from ABS.

Reds bullpen is producing this year so far. Always been the reason they struggle Franco and Ashcraft come up with valuable outings
