@mcghee_gabe@dotsonc Okay man. You just said he is a much better hitter on the road than he is at GABP. That's all I needed to hear in this conversation.
Thanks and have a good day.
@mcghee_gabe@dotsonc Again, I'm not just pointing out HRs. That's why I said that he is statistically better in every offensive category on the road than he is at GABP except for doubles and OBP.
I originally pointed out HRs and RBI. Then I figured out every category but those two.
@mcghee_gabe@dotsonc Correct, he does, that's not what I am arguing. I am saying that GABP clearly isn't as much of a factor as everyone is trying to make it out to be with him being better offensively on the road than at GABP.
@DaddyFungo@LanceMcAlister Sal has better offensive numbers on the road than at home this season in every offensive category EXCEPT for doubles and OBP.
@mcghee_gabe@dotsonc The "different ballparks" argument would work, except Stewart has more HR (3) and RBI (14) on the road than he does at GABP. He has played 51 games on the road and 50 at home.
@drew_lutts@Nati_Sports Or, without needing to go to AAA, you could just move Elly up.
He has hits in 8 of 9 games so far this season. I would also rather him get more at bats than Friedl.
@JeffATrennepohl If Castillo was still in a Reds uniform then they very likely would have never drafted Lowder and/or Burns.
I'll take the rotation that the Reds have right now. It already is a top-10 and borderline top-5 rotation in all of baseball.
@WillLewis_1976@Trags Hunter knows his body. I don't question how long it took him to return from the groin issue.
As for the bone spurs/bodies, he went to the top surgeon in the game and he recommended doing the shots and not surgery.
@WillLewis_1976@Trags No. It started when the team believed he should've returned from his groin strain and he told them that he still felt it tugging when he would pitch.
@TBartels846804@CharlieG__ His first month of 2025 was rough. No denying that.
He then pitched to a 3.26era over his final 24 appearances, which included only allowing an earned run(s) in 4 of those 24 appearances. So there is clearly room to work with him and grow.
@hatfield0813@CoachCalArk@Cats_Coverage Mitch wanted him gone, the Crafts wanted him gone, fans wanted him gone.
He also saved the University millions by doing what he did.
@VegetaD69@CharlieG__ He's still a streaky player. In three seasons with the Reds he has slashed .227/.304/.433/.737 with a 97 OPS+ (3% below league average).
So both things can be true at the same time.
@tylerback99@Nati_Sports There are already escalators to get to the second and third deck.
Right behind home plate takes you straight to the third deck. On the first base side by the HOF, it takes you to the second deck and third deck.
@ahanes1@Nati_Sports I'm not against this, but I wouldn't do both. I would either keep it at its current distance and raise it, or back it up about 4-5 rows and slightly raise it.
@Nati_Sports Correct, but it is still a list of NRIs, which you said they haven't done.
I am sure (well, hopeful) that they're still working to add to the roster before they announce anyone else.
