@MoEgger I’d argue the bullpen is the most predictable facet of this team. Outcomes are as consistent as it gets.

[Stephen Lilly @stephenrlilly]

@MisterRedlegs Devin Mesoraco after 2014, though injuries played a key role there.

[Stephen Lilly @stephenrlilly]

@RedsDaily4 Front office. The poor signings/trades. The doubling down on a hitting philosophy that has failed. The roster construction with so many known holes.

[Stephen Lilly @stephenrlilly]

@MisterRedlegs @sf0250164 Amen. Maybe Jeimer Candelario can help.

[Stephen Lilly @stephenrlilly]

@MisterRedlegs You don’t like Will Benson in the lineup?

[Stephen Lilly @stephenrlilly]

@oldballyard2 A million percent agree! Playing him a poor decision. Hitting him lead-off? Insane.

[Stephen Lilly @stephenrlilly]

@RedsDaily4 @JamesRapien Why is will benson not the one DFA’d, let alone still starting, let alone hitting lead-off?

[Stephen Lilly @stephenrlilly]

@RedsTalkSI @JamesRapien They have bigger problems. Like Brady Singer. Like an organization that insists on playing Will Benson, let alone batting him lead-off. Like, given the bullpen, pulling a starter like Paddock after 78 pitches because it would not be fair to him to keep him in.

[Stephen Lilly @stephenrlilly]

@awfulannouncing Like him, but Greenberg’s had a rough couple of nights. Missed the Dolphins/49ers trade completely at the end of Round 1, saying Chris Johnson was staying in California. The Boston gaffe, research department error or not, was a bad look.

[Stephen Lilly @stephenrlilly]

@KelseyLConway Bonus: Logan Wilson bogus PI in SB 56 is another legit Bengals “what if.”

[Stephen Lilly @stephenrlilly]

@KelseyLConway “What if” is a false narrative that doesnt apply here. Bengals took their shot.
Here are 3 real Bengals “what ifs”
1. Greg Cook staying healthy.
2. SB XXIII without Krumrie’s broken leg, Lewis Billups INT drop and Stanley Wilson remaining sober.
3. Palmer ‘05 playoff injury.

[Stephen Lilly @stephenrlilly]

@jaron_may @WLWT There is no “what if.” The Bengals did the right thing even if Lawrence disappoints. They took their shot to win now.

[Stephen Lilly @stephenrlilly]

@ScottKacsmar Not a net negative at all. Not even close. Hendrickson is breaking down, horrible against the run and a negative locker room influence. Lawrence trade tells Burrow and the fan base they are all in. And the 10th pick is a crapshoot. Zero net negative.

[Stephen Lilly @stephenrlilly]

@ChrisTrapasso It’s the perfect message to Burrow, the locker room and the fan base. They took the big swing. Love it.

[Stephen Lilly @stephenrlilly]

@kenbroo Nope. Lawrence is a superior player.

[Stephen Lilly @stephenrlilly]

@johnditty321 @PriscoCBS Isn’t Mahomes the injured one?

[Stephen Lilly @stephenrlilly]

@PriscoCBS Great message to Burrow and the locker room. Take the swing!

[Stephen Lilly @stephenrlilly]

@DarrickMartin15 @GreggDoyelStar @UCLAMBB 514–240 (.682) record isn’t good? Please. You may not like him. Fine. He’s an acquired taste. But “not good” coaches don’t get and keep gigs at Cincinnati and UCLA. How many years is he removed from a Final Four?

[Stephen Lilly @stephenrlilly]

@BengalsTalkSI If you sre advicating this trade, why no mention of a Hendrickson tag and trade being, potentially, a part of it?

@971BFS We have a place in PCB (30 miles from Destin) right on the Gulf. From Westerville it’s a 12.5 hr drive.
