@RHFluffyFish @BrentRobertsLGM @TalkinBaseball_ He's out by 20 feet if this throw is the 3rd lmao

[Johnny @johnathon34646]

@yuggs513 He is hitting 240 points below his career average OPS and is -1 OAA after a +21 season last year. He is playing way worse than what they signed up for

[Johnny @johnathon34646]

@MattsTake1 I was not asking that actually because it was obviously the correct decision lmfao

[Johnny @johnathon34646]

@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

[Johnny @johnathon34646]

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

[Johnny @johnathon34646]

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

Sal Stewart on the 2026 Reds

Sal Stewart overtakes Yordan Alvarez

[Johnny @johnathon34646]

@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

[Johnny @johnathon34646]

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

[Johnny @johnathon34646]

But I thought he couldn't hit velo?

[Johnny @johnathon34646]

@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

[Johnny @johnathon34646]

@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

[Johnny @johnathon34646]

@baseballpro Sal Stewart 43?

[Johnny @johnathon34646]

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

[Johnny @johnathon34646]

@HoboThatsFrugal @Sherman_FFB 👍

[Johnny @johnathon34646]

@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

[Johnny @johnathon34646]

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

[Johnny @johnathon34646]

@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)
