Down on the Farm: Big night for #Reds 2020
1st round pick Austin Hendrick. The 24-year old doubled, collected two hits and threw out a runner from left field.
He's batting .333 with a .906 OPS in five games since being called up for his Triple-A debut.
It's been a six year grind, with a lot of struggles for Hendrick. Really cool to see him finding some success.
Tito is obviously good in the clubhouse. Or he’d already be fired. Him and Valaika have gotten past the weird no HR thing last year too so that’s good. But he builds lineups like it’s 1996 not 2026 and his Hayes fight is killing us. Simple things to fix. But will he? No shot.
Terry Francona on not hitting for Ke’Bryan Hayes in the fourth inning:
“If we start a guy, and start hitting for him in the third or fourth inning….we probably shouldn’t have played him.”
