Glad Lroy is working with Derek Believe it will pay dividends for Derek.

We have had a drop off offensively esp re Mazara, Profar and Des.

If all things were even semi-equal, Mazara wouldn't be in this position and Profar would have gotten regular AB in RR for most of this year.

Ironically, Holland averaged 31 starts a season from 2011-13. Over the past 3 seasons, his total starts is 31, counting tonight.

Perhaps so but both were performing at a high level so this explains some of the drop off

We have had a drop off offensively esp re Mazara, Profar and Des. We lost Choo too so there has been huge cumulative offensive hit. Hope we can regain some of that back in September

Problem is that Maz and Profar have become platoon players while Desmond never sits at all. I would rather see Maz and Profar with more ABs and Desmond get a day off once in a while. That might help.

Get your fucking shit together, offense.

True....But now the opposing teams have gotten a book on them.

Although you're correct, I hate it for Profar that he's still being "literally" jerked around from SS to 2nd, 2nd to 1st, 1st to LF, etc.

We've been complaining/observing this same thing on here for about a month now.

But it's a rock solid point.

Derek's velo looks fine. Not his best but fine.

 

[romeo212000]

Keep taking strikes right down the middle guys. Great fucking strategy.

 

[romeo212000]

Fuck NL baseball.

 

[DT LUNA]

Nice work Derek. So happy to see it

 

[donaldson79]

Derek is pulling a "Mr Hollands Opus" so far on the Reds. ha

 

[donaldson79]

Nice work Derek. So happy to see it

Absolutely! Now....can he do it the second time through the lineup?

 

[romeo212000]

That swing did it for me. Later.

 

[Duane1952]

Not good Beltre.

 

[DT LUNA]

Not good Beltre.

Sent Romeo to the liquor cabinet

 

[BULLPEN FAILURE]

Keep taking strikes right down the middle guys. Great fucking strategy.

I swear I see this happen more than once every inning (usually on first pitch).

 

[darrylgann]

It would be nice if our offense would help Derek out.

 

[donaldson79]

That was really silly of the Reds 3rd base coach to send that guy.
