Glad to hear it's not players so far though.

Is the whole coaching staff down with Covid? Kind of silly to postpone the game if the players are ok. Let the players coach the game.

Joez: Great choice!

Why was it postponed? at least in part I guess because players had not been tested and they didn't how who all may already be infected.

Besides Tito and 6 coaches Josh Naylor is out with COVID just when he was at his hottest

Palacios and Chang both back with the team. Neither is in the lineup

Willis managing
Reply coordinator becomes bench coach
John McDonald is 1st base coach
Kyle Hudson is 3rd base coach

Bieber getting today's start; need to see back on track

Bieber was about 1 mph faster but still off his "prime" and his massive strikeout numbers are no longer part of his game.

But he was effective, through over 100 pitches and kept us in a 1-1 tie.
Sandlin now the team leader with 3 wins: evidences lots of late inning rallies.

Giminez with the go ahead double, gives his 20 RBI which is more than he's had in any previous season.

Bieber looked like he was really struggling. I guess that’s a sign of a great picture when you work your ass off when you don’t have your best stuff

Civale needs to be able to do that.

Unfortuntaely Bieber hasn't really had his best stuff most of the year.

down 3-1 in the 7th; McKenzie's given up 2 solo homers and Ramirez has hit one.

Going to the game tonight. Doing research on the pitching matchup

Pitching matchups and starting times: RHP Zach Plesac (1-3, 4.68) vs. RHP Connor Overton (1-0, 1.59) on Tuesday at 6:10 p.m.; RHP Cal Quantrill (1-2, 3.93) vs. RHP Tyler Mahle (2-4, 5.89) on Wednesday at 6:10 p.m.

According to Baseball Savant, Overton is in the 20th percentile or lower in a myriad of meaningful categories. Overton's hard hit percentage, expected batting average (xBA), whiff-rate, and fastball velocity are all among the worst in baseball. Let's hope that his luck runs out

it didn't but Owen Miller dramatic homer set the stage for Sandlin's sudden loss of control

Some impressions from Tuesday

Pleasac is bigger than I thought -- He looked like a tight end. He also looked out of shape based on his body language to me.

The reds pitcher looked like Civale from 2 years ago. His fastball was around 89-91. He threw mostly fastballs and sliders with a few change ups (based on the scoreboard). In the third inning, he had 30 pitches and 26 for strikes. Being around the plate, he also go some close calls from the ump. maybe Civale is trying to throw too many pitches.

Stephenson is stud. Hits the balls hard and looked good behind the plate.

cleanup hitter Miller leads off the second with his 12th double; surprising no. 5 hitter Rosario singles him to 3rd. Former cleanup man Reyes with a chance to bring in some runs.
