Great win!! Keep it rolling for the next 3 series against the Jays, Padres and Marlins, and this team is great shape to wrap up the 1st half in stellar shape.

Like most of us on here I think, I was not a big fan of the KJ signing going into '23. But I have to say now, it has worked out. The guy is a pro and usually doesn't have heart-stopping appearances.

Sox had 6 batters in the lineup with a higher OPS than Cincy's highest

Said going in I'd be happy with taking 2 of 3 and keeping the momentum going. Mission accomplished there. Another good week of ball here and they'll be in a nice spot going into July.

If they hadn't scored 3 in the top half, it would be a tie game. Keller was coming in regardless of score. He has no reason to be on the team with them pushing into legitimate postseason contention. They have better options in AAA. IMO, Keller or Anderson get a DFA tomorrow for Campbell.

As soon as the Reds broadcast started talking about “a win today would give the Reds their first series win vs the Red Sox (WS not counted)” when they were leading 3-0 yesterday, DOM Smith hit a homer and the rest is history lol

Would like to get some length out of Hauck and Bello on Monday and Tuesday. Does Wink get called up?

Red Sox Bullpen Usage Last 3 Days (Pitches)
Bernardino (14, 5, -) Booser (19, 8, 12)
Weissert (22, 15, -) Kelly (33, 6, -) Slaten (17, - , -) Martin (11, 22, -) Kenley (12, 15, -)
Keller (31, - , 19) Anderson (none)
Slaten pitched once this weekend, and Chase Anderson didn’t pitch at all. Unless they are very very very emotionally and professionally attached to Anderson or Brad Keller it might be wise to DFA one of the Garbage Time guys for a fresh arm.

Agree. Great win, bur I am not a fan of bullpen games especially when you have games the next 3 days. We got a win today, but I hope getting that win doesn't hurt us during this next series. Think they need a fresh arm for tomorrow. Keller would be my choice to make room for the fresh arm since Anderson could pitch multiple innings tomorrow while don't think Keller could. Also, does anyone else think Wong deserves some All Star consideration?

The 40 is at 39 so they can claim somebody if needed. Maybe if they do that they DFA him to stay at 39. I’d be surprised if Keller goes for them to call somebody up and go down to 38

I figured that 6 game stretch against Philly and NY would be sink or swim. Well, they swam quite swimmingly.
They look more like a high 80s win team than the high 80s loss team I worried they'd be.
I think David Hamilton's unexpected emergence has played a key part in all this. Add in Duran improving upon last year and Rafaela starting to hit, the Sox create enough traffic on the bases to wreak havoc, as now their speed and athleticism has emerged.
Also, while the rotation has tapered off as expected, its still hanging in there, and it's the pen that has been solid.
No names like Slaten, Weissert, Kelly, and Booser have done the job. Having 4 unprovens pitching well is not something that always happens. Bernardino has picked up where he left off last year, which was hardly a given.
And Kenley has been nails. Hopefully Martin and eventually Hendrik provide an even bigger boost and they can dump Anderson and maybe Keller or replace him with Criswell if they pick up a starter at the deadline.
At this point their biggest need is a middle of the order slugging 1b. If Casas can come back healthy he'd be a big addition.
Just as an aside, this is how screwy baseball can be.
Grissom hits .320 everywhere yet cant hit his way out of a paper bag so far. Meanwhile, David Hamilton is a .250 hitter in the minors yet here he is hitting. 280 in the majors when the league struggles to hit .240.
Two opposite outcomes of two expectations.
I still think Grissom will eventually be a .280 - .300 hitter in the majors and Hamilton's bat will taper off, which would still allow him to be a very useful guy off the bench.
But for now Hamilton has been a difference maker in making the Red Sox go.
When the Sox play like crap I have no problem saying so but when they're playing well like they are now I certainly have no problem saying so. They have been quite exciting over the past two weeks and are playing extremely well. Get Casas back, add a starter through a trade who can slot in between Houck and Crawford if possible - a rental would be fine, and if they can improve defensively, they could become quite the handful.

In retrospect, the Reds rolled the dice by throwing their ace against the Sox pen game.
