Tim Adelman has tossed 4 innings of shutout baseball. Using his change-up to befuddle the Buccos lineup. And then Polanco hits a dinger while I'm typing....lol. Was going to say we're about an inning away from the bullpen blowing this game up either way.
People who don't know shit about baseball support that. Mattingly made the right call. A potential no hitter with 4+ walks isn't worth the 120+ pitches he'd have thrown to make it happen.
The Reds are destined to lead the NL in runners LOB. JJ Hoover is also begging to be DFA'd. He went from Chapman's 8th inning fluffer to shit-bag in less than a season.
LOVE the Mackenzie pick. Zimmerman knows his shit when it comes to DBs. Shift Newman to safety and Mackenzie plays the nickel with Trae & Xavier outside.
