@LanceMcAlister @LanceMcAlister what is the mlb avg of home grown talent on a club? Where do the Reds stand on thst list?

[Jim Mansfield @JimMansfield16]

@LanceMcAlister Reds hitters seem streaky, last consistent hitter in his prime? Votto? I'm sure he had hit and cold spells but less than what we are seeing now.

[Jim Mansfield @JimMansfield16]

@MoEgger @MoEgger what team would trust Brandon Sorsby. Even if he is totally clean, any mistake would and could come into question....

[Jim Mansfield @JimMansfield16]

@LanceMcAlister Another issue... is it me or do the reds except Suarez and Stewart seem tentative at the plate? Waiting on their pitch? Guessing wrong?

[Jim Mansfield @JimMansfield16]

@LanceMcAlister Bleday replaces Benson, fine how about Steer, Stephenson, Friedl? These guys might not be in a slump but just showing who they really are, even if they return to a little of who they were it's not enough. Time to trade some of family jewels for real hitters.

[Jim Mansfield @JimMansfield16]

@LanceMcAlister We are too passive, where is the Vontase B. mentality? Not one response on the field to Cheap hit on 91!!! No one seems to be fired up too worried on making a mistake. just do you job , tacked hard, be a ball hawk!!

[Jim Mansfield @JimMansfield16]

@darcangel21 @LndsPatterson @brilewerke That a lot of Badketball since last August….

[Jim Mansfield @JimMansfield16]

@LanceMcAlister @700wlw @LanceMcAlister I feel this is going to be like Barry Larkin. Went elsewhere and at the end of spring training realized “it’s gone” . Joey may try but he starts out slow usually and that won’t cut it.

[Jim Mansfield @JimMansfield16]

@ctrent Didn’t the same thing happen to Larkin, went to Soring training with the Nats, then retired!

[Jim Mansfield @JimMansfield16]

@LanceMcAlister does Benson remind you of a young left hitting George Foster…yea not the numbers, but his intensity at each at bat?

[Vince Langman @LangmanVince]

3 years ago today
gas was $2 a gallon
Eggs were $1 a dozen
Mortgage rates were 3%
Inflation was less than 1%
We had full employment, economic growth, and World Peace
What happened?

[Jim Mansfield @JimMansfield16]

@LanceMcAlister Penalties at very crucial times have given other team advantage and game winners. Not as poised as the end of last yesr. Worse case, we finish 9-8, best case? We still can win at least 11 and get into the dance.

[Jim Mansfield @JimMansfield16]

@dougdirt24 Neither should we……

[Jim Mansfield @JimMansfield16]

Send him and Minor home, play anyone else, it’s just too painful to watch…..

[LanceMcAlister @LanceMcAlister]

Oh for the day when the #Reds roster and system has enough talent that I don’t have to watch Aquino.

[LanceMcAlister @LanceMcAlister]

[Jim Mansfield @JimMansfield16]

When will they move on from Minor and for that matter Aquino….geeesch these guys are just awful.

[Bobby Nightengale @nightengalejr]

Mike Minor gave up three straight hits and loses the lead. He pitches out of more damage when Greg Allen lines into an inning-ending double play.

Reds down 2-1 to Pirates after one inning.

[Jim Mansfield @JimMansfield16]

He needs to sit…batting .208 on Aug. 15th is not figuring it out/fixing the problem …..like him but it’s time to sit him and make him a bench player, for the rest of his contract.

[Jim Mansfield @JimMansfield16]

When is time for the Reds and Joey to admit, .208 on Aug. 15th is not acceptable and it’s time to allow others to get a chance?

[Jim Mansfield @JimMansfield16]

So why couldn’t management have been more proactive with a discussion about change a few weeks ago, knowing at some point this would happen? #nottrueleadersattop

[Bobby Nightengale @nightengalejr]

Kyle Farmer waited years to play shortstop in MLB, so it's difficult for him to hear he's moved to third base for the rest of the year.

“It sucks. I love short. I’ve loved short my entire life. It’s part of the game, I guess, and they see me at third.” https://t.co/NcrVYaUmIr
