@Soly_Reds Wholly disagree with this idea but it's a completely moot point while .400 OPS friedl is clogging up the leadoff spot everyday

Hinds should not be blocking anybody, ever. You absolutely do NOT "have to give him a shot." He's not even in the ballpark of being big league ready. He should be a depth option only and should be swapped for Bleday by tomorrow.

@bryce_spalding His 1st inning stats prior to this game fwiw

Has Friedl got on to start a game, all season? Sure doesn’t feel like it.

@Clay_sno Agreed. Wanted to look into it since it feels like he has been fishing for bunt hits a lot recently

@johnathon34646 That is still very bad, but a good point to distinguish.

TJ Friedl batted balls with an exit velocity 70 mph or under: 9 Over 95 mph: 7

Sal Stewart on the 2026 Reds

@UnderdogMLB Exact kind of player the Marlins have been scooping up. High bat speed, swing tilt, pull air rate at the expense of some swing and miss. Without a true first baseman right now too would not be surprised to see them bring him in

Christian Encarnacion-Strand designated for assignment by the Reds.

Rough night for the "Pirates are better than the Reds in every way" crowd that was so loud today

But I thought he couldn't hit velo?

@Tyler_Bowden11 @CharlesChillFFB He hasn't hit vs lefties for his entire career. 58 wRC+. They need to give him opportunities to hit vs RHP or just send him down. He is effectively useless for this team in the role they are currently using him in

@CharlesChillFFB Too early to say he can’t hit. His ceiling is higher than anybody not named Elly. Patience required.

If Noelvi Marte can’t hit lefties, it’s hard to continually play him. What exactly does he bring to the table? He’s a utility bat with some pop. And isn’t exactly great defensively.

@Soly_Reds He will never do it but I think the most optimal in this situation would be the slide Elly to 3B, McLain to SS, Sal to 2B, and then either Steer or Lowe can take over 1B

What Tito is going to have to figure out, is who the backup 3B is. You're going to need to pinch hit for Hayes in late game situations when down. Which is going to mean Stewart has to go to 3B. Yet he only played one game at 3B in the spring? Or now you burn your DH to put Geno in the field?

@baseballpro Sal Stewart 43?

Introducing the BP Top 101!

@CourtneyRCronin This math only works if the Herbert voter left Maye off their ballot which seems incredibly unlikely

Drake Maye lost the MVP because he had one less first-place vote than Matthew Stafford. That one vote went to someone - Justin Herbert - who wasn't even a finalist.

@HoboThatsFrugal @Sherman_FFB 👍

@johnathon34646 @Sherman_FFB Lmfao. Ydkb

List of TEs I would definitively rank above Colston Loveland in 2026: 1. Trey McBride 2. Brock Bowers

@RedsInFour Important to keep in mind the scoring format for UD and that its best ball vs tradition start/sit. These high K rate volatile starters like Miz have inherently more value here since UD doesnt directly punish you for walk/hits and you wont get stuck with 0s for the bad starts

Some early Underdog pitching ADP Takeaways - Dylan Cease SP10 is hilarious, I love fantasy baseball - I don't know why you'd buy Miz SP24 - Feed me Ryan Pepiot SP53's - Trevor Rogers SP54 too, sure why not - Hurston Waldrep SP74 feels like a bargain - Andrew Abbott SP78, hello?

@ringer @BillSimmons @TheCousinSal Joe Burrow led the league in both completion% and yards per attempt in 2021 and didn't win MVP btw

“I don’t know what to say anymore.” @BillSimmons and @TheCousinSal go back and forth on whether Drake Maye or Matthew Stafford should win NFL MVP.

@Jake_B30 It's misleading as it is just ignoring the reality of who they had to play where. Some of their home games included: The Rattler Saints, Giants, Browns, Mason Rudolph Steelers (which they still gave up 28 to)

Not misleading at all They gave up 52 - Lions 42 - Bengals 42 - 49ers 30 - Ravens They’ve only given up 3 games over 20 points at home in 8 tries #Bears

@GIANT49RWARRIOR @thepres1dent @Blutman27 1000 yards rushing is a volume stat. He came into this week 4th in carries but overall inefficient as a runner. That bears out in the grades as well since he is 52/54 in rushing grade but 1/54 in receiving grade

@thepres1dent @Blutman27 Is 1000 yards rushing and 1000 yards receiving good or not? The O line has sucked for most of the year.

18 of 60

@wahhill @kebryanhayesfan @YankeeWRLD Like wtf are you even talking about lmao. Not even remotely the same level of player

@kebryanhayesfan @YankeeWRLD Not true, Moustakas came off an all star appearance & 35 homeruns. Did nothing for the Reds but be bad, Akiyama was coming off a .400 obp in Japan. Couldn't hit FB. Candelario had 3 WAR season in 23. Two negative WAR seasons with Reds. Free agents dont work out here lol

I can not get over the fact that the Cincinnati Reds blatantly showed everyone that they have $125 million to spend in free agency but are now choosing not to spend it after making the playoffs with a promising young roster

@sportsdailymed @NFL_DF you have to be ragebaiting

@NFL_DF Bad ball? That’s a back shoulder throw where the defense can’t get it.

Bad ball by Mendoza gives Omar Cooper Jr. a chance to show us why he might get drafted top 50 x.com/fsh733/status/…
