It’s still hard to address the world’s response with something beyond a wide-eyed daze but essentially we couldn’t be more thrilled. Basically, we hoped it’d do better than Puzzlejuice. Our expectations for our tiny game were well, fairly tiny. Chase Field is indoors and air conditioned.It’s been a weird and awesome couple of months. What should be the Reds immediate goal? How should the roster spots and playing time be parsed? Should the Reds focus on putting the best team on the field every night? Or, should the Reds focus on building the trade value of players like Brandon Drury, Albert Almora Jr, Schrock and Solano, not to mention Matt Reynolds, all who could be coveted pieces for contenders looking to build out their benches at the trade deadline? And are these two paths even necessarily mutually exclusive? GO REDS! Where, When and Weatherįorecast: 100° or more but who cares. This begs the question trying to hide like an elephant in the corner of the dugout. Donovan Solano and Max Schrock are also presumably on the cusp of returning to the Reds. The stage is set for Jonathan India’s return tonight. Nick Lodolo will have two or three more rehab starts to build back up. Charlie also has updates on Max Schrock and Nick Lodolo.Īristides Aquino, who injured his ankle sliding into home plate, is expected to miss about 4-6 weeks.ĭavid Bell said Max Schrock continues to be very close to returning. What looked like not much at all when it happened or even yesterday afternoon has turned into a significant situation. Word on Aristides Aquino’s injury from Enquirer beat writer Charlie Goldsmith. Caleb Smith did not pitch Monday but has a 3day pitch count over 40. Wendelkin and Ian Kennedy are likely unavailable after high pitch count appearances Monday. Reiver Sanmartin marked his return with a strong 0.2 innings requiring 20 pitches due to an extended at bat. However Strickland joins Alexis Diaz with a 3 day pitch count just over 30. Hunter Strickland needed just 12 pitches to record a 1 inning save. Reds relievers covered just 2.2 innings Monday night as Mike Minor gave the team a boost by pitching an out into the 7th inning. Right handed batters hit for a tad more power but they also strike out at a markedly higher rate. Left handed batters get on base slightly more frequently versus Davies. When it comes to handedness splits nothing really jumps out. Added together, groundballs, infield popups and strikeouts comprise nearly 80% of Davies’ outcomes. In other words, he pitches to contact and hopes to induce a high rate of ground balls. Back in the day, he would have been called a sinkerball pitcher. See anything strange? Yes, Davies has completely eschewed the use of a 4 seam fastball in favor of a mix of the sinker and cut fastball. Both those figures need to come down for Mahle to get into range of performance expected from him.īefore reading any further, glance down at the pitch usage chart for Zach Davies. He has however continued to walk about 10% of hitters and has allowed 5 homers over the last month. In 6 starts he has accrued a 3.86 ERA versus his prior 6.46 ERA. Over the last month, Mahle has looked at least a little more like the Mahle Reds fans had expected to see. However, left handed hitters reach base more often because of Mahle’s much greater propensity to walk them (13.8% vs 6.25%). Right handed hitters have slightly better batting and slugging averages against him. There is not much to choose from in Tyler Mahle’s 2022 handedness splits.

Just as with Monday’s game, this is a rematch of starting pitchers from 5 days ago in Cincinnati. The Reds Tyler Mahle is scheduled to oppose fellow right hander Zach Davies of the Diamondbacks. Nick Senzel loses the straw draw for the leadoff spot but recovers to beat Mike Moustakas in the coin toss for the #6 spot. And who can say? If they get the win tonight, they can garner a winning road trip with victory in the upcoming Wednesday matinee. Fresh off a win in game 1 of the series, the Reds can assure themselves of no worse than.
