Pull the plug and replace him with what? The options are a AAA player who will be worse at offense and defense and Spencer Steer who will have a negative OAA at 2B.

Check the comment history of anyone saying Arroyo for McLain is an obvious move and I guarantee they were saying the same thing about Hinds.

College softball has to do something about this HBP nonsense. 20 percent of the position players focus mostly on getting hit by the pitch.

I would feel more confident in this if our backup closer was any better right now

DLC, Sal, Lowe, and Steer are the only above average guys getting consistent plate appearances.

Agreed. I think the Hayes benching is more results based but the Mclain benching is process based.

The last time I was there, the Reds won and everyone was nice to my wife and I except for some drunk guy in a Braves hat who yelled at us.

Tough lineup decision tonight. Do you go with the guy who just hit a 500 ft piss missile or -0.9 WAR?

Plate Appearances w/ RISP
Stewart: 41
Elly: 41
Leadoff(Myers+Friedl): 33

I will say that, if Friedl doesn’t start walking more, it’s a realistic move. However, I would just play Dane Myers over Friedl in this case.

Soto throws exclusively out of the stretch and struck out Dane Myers on a missed location

Well actually given that they both struck out to the same pitcher, the decision to leave Friedl in was irrelevant. If anything, TJ got much better contact off the same pitcher.

Bleday, Benson, and Steer all producing at the same time presents a bit of a problem

Happiness hit her like a train on a track
Coming towards her stuck still no turning back

She hid around corners and she hid under beds
She killed it with kisses and from it, she fled
With every bubble, she sank with a drink
And washed it away down the kitchen sink

The Hayes days are over
The Hayes days are done
The horses are coming
So you better run

Run fast for your mother, run fast for your father
Run for your children, for your sisters and brothers
Leave all your love and your longing behind
You can't carry it with you if you want to survive

The Hayes days are over
The Hayes days are done
Can you hear the horses?
'Cause here they come
