[Official] Reds @ Astros

Sweet.

 

Nice homerun by JD

 

Lyles with a lead?

 

Yep... kind of upper-bodied the pitch up high. Hard to do without good balance. Showed some strength as well.

 

He wasn't known for his power in the minors, but it's clear that he's got some pop in his bat.

 

See that play there... Lee was out on a similar play yesterday after likely not busting out of the box.

 

More line drive power. Key for him to prove he can be more than a doubles guy at this level.

 

JD seemed to throw that to 1st effortlessly. I know the rap is that he isn't very good defensively. Any updates on that? Did he improve at all according to people that watched him?

 

Sorry, but does anyone have a link to the game? Thanks.

 

After that monster 2005 season, Willis still trying to get his form back.

Clubs still giving him a chance. Anyone else think his stint with the Reds is probably his last?

 

Pretty nice pitch there by Lyles to induce the groundout.

 

Spectacular play by Phillips to keep Altuve from a single. Fully extended superman catch.

 

Wow! Nearly b2b HRs. Thought it was gone off the bat. Inches away.

 

Lee didn't run hard again.

 

Lee, after getting to .280 on 7/28, has now gone 0 for 21 since

 

Hey, at least he's hustling and setting a good example for the young fellas.

 

curious as well. was under the impression that he's adequate in left, but can only play left.

i'm pissed that i missed his first hr.

 

Seriously, does Jordan Lyles sweat?

It's almost freaky how cool he is, regardless of what's going on. That is a legitimately huge intangible.

 

Yea, if that OremLK cat is around, he should know. He keeps pretty good tabs on that kind of stuff.

Hopefully there are many more to come. I was shocked that his 2nd hit wasn't a HR. He crushed it. I think it hit the bottom of the yellow line on the Crawfish Boxes. Arguably hit that pitch better than the first one.

 

Can we send him to AAA?
