Love what I’m seeing from the Reds this season!

that reds/pirates game was ugly
mvottop
I agree it was a long one to watch that’s for sure

Man, Reds capitalized on the opportunities and the Bucs score 1 run with bases loaded with no outs…..twice ……

Thinking the Pirates did not want to wait around for Hughes this year to see if he would get the sinker working again because of his issues with it last year. Gave up more home run balls than usual last year.. Hope for his sake he keeps it going as I liked watching him pitch in Pittsburgh.

Reds are truly playing above their heads..season will end with 90-97 losses
mvottop
I think that number is a little high. They may not be contenders this year but they will turn some heads.

Thames is the real deal.

One of the finest rivers in all of Britain. But it’s really more for football, what with all that “punting” they do on it.

So far so good, but those 8 strikeouts in only 21 at-bats, that is definitely something to keep an eye on. I’m just curious as to whether or not Thames will be able to make the possible necessary future adjustments to truly “succeed.”
Which that begs the question, what would it take for Milwaukee fans to consider Thames’ season a success?? (NOT a rhetorical question)
I really am honestly curious though, would Milwaukee fans consider it a successful year for Thames, with the following stats:
1.) He continues to strike out at an ~35% clip
2.) He can still hit and maintain an ~.280 average
3.) He ends up with an ~20-25 HR’s, and an ~60-70 RBI’s
4.) He still maintains about an ~14.3% walk rate
Please, Brewers’ fans or fans of Thames, reply and let me know if you would consider that to he a successful year for Thames, or if not what would it take for you to be happy with his signing and role as a starter.
