Needless to say, a 1 run deficit ain't much for this Reds offense. It could've been worse though. At least there's a pretty good chance. Lyles at 96 pitches. Does he go back out now?
Wallace just hit a double and drive in a run in his AB down in OKC. Sure hope he doesn't turn into Chris Davis, pounds AAA pitching but, so far, not able to figure out big league pitching.
Pretty different makeups. Davis much more of a pure power hitter. Wallace has already shown a good eye at this level, something that Davis hasn't been able to do.
True that, just seen so many guys have success at AAA but never make it at this level...hope Wallace makes the necessary adjustments in OKC.
LaPorta is another example. He was considered a sure-fire bet, too. May still figure it out but no dice so far. That's why you should often temper expectations in this crazy sport of baseball. Looks like the Indians are following suit with the Pirates. Really haven't played good ball in months. Division just awful. Kipnis hit a homer in his 4th straight game. That's about the only positive right now.
