Someone tweeted "I'd prefer David Ross put Fauci in to pitch at this point." ?

It's what you get trying to build a bullpen off the scrap heap

A whole lot of bitching here. For what? It's like spring training. Why is everyone getting unhinged. It will be nothing short of a miracle if MLB is able to finish this season. The fallout has barely begun....it will increase substantially as more and more start getting infected and the healthy millionaires start opting out. There's a reason why minor league baseball was shut down.....at some point there will be so many minor league players in ML uniforms that you won't know the players without a scorecard. Manfred's plan was half baked from day one.

I guess the Reds players are dropping like flies, should be 6 different guys active by the end of the series. One left for the birth of a child, guy should just stay away from that kid. Robel Garcia was claimed, so he probably gets in a game before the cubs leave.

The good news is Kimbrel threw 35 pitches yesterday so he'll be out at least 3 games before we see him again in the 9th

Theo and his scouts look to have found a gem in Nico. Another thing I noticed is when they pan to him in the dugout he's always smiling and involved with the coaching staff and teammates which is a sign he is playing relaxed and not putting extra pressure on himself as a young rook playing under the bright lights.

Baez is like a shooter in basketball. He just needs to keep shooting. 2 K's to start the day. Double, Homer, Homer to finish. lol

Happy with that effort from Mills.

Certainly we want starters to go deeper - and with this pen they can't go deep enough - but so far, the starters have done well 4 of 5 starts.
