Greg PetersonHOST
David Cruz, he's been able to give you a .20 plus on bases, .370 or so on base.
Greg PetersonHOST
But that bottom of the fold, the likes of TJ Friedel, Matt McClain, Hector Rodriguez, Cabrian Hayes, all hitting below a .220, not necessarily give you a lot of on base.
Greg PetersonHOST
That's an issue.
Greg PetersonHOST
And for the Reds, they didn't get a lot of length out of Brady Singer yesterday.
Lenny MelnickHOST
The Reds lineup is top-heavy, relying on Eugenio Suarez and Eli De La Cruz for production, but the supporting cast is weak.
Lenny MelnickHOST
Three players with at least 200 plate appearances... rank among the worst four hitters in baseball, and that includes Cabrian Hayes, T.J. Friedel, who was fired, by the way, and Noel V. Marte.
Lenny MelnickHOST
Those guys rank among the four worst hitters in MLB, so yes, the Reds lineup is top-heavy.
Lenny MelnickHOST
Now, this is the stat that got to Leonard Donaldson.
Trace FowlerHOST
It's one more thing to have to worry about going into next season of whether or not this person's going to bounce back from an injury.
Trace FowlerHOST
T.J. Friedel, I don't know if you want to blame it on injury or if he's just kind of, you know, got a little bit older and things went a little south.
Trace FowlerHOST
But it was obviously a case in point that – Nick Kroll wanted everybody to know that TJ Friedel got hurt, and that was one of the reasons as to why they didn't progress in the way they wanted to.
Trace FowlerHOST
Do you not remember those excuses? I remember them vividly.
Trace FowlerHOST
I thought you
Greg PetersonHOST
He has been incredible this season.
Greg PetersonHOST
Again, bottom of the fold with his team with likes of TJ Friedel, along with Cabrian A's, Matt McClain, Will Banfield.
Greg PetersonHOST
These have been guys hitting a 200 or lower, so that's been a little bit of an issue, but for the Reds, this is also a bottom 17 in terms of opening rate.
Greg PetersonHOST
You've had Graham Ashcraft come off the injured list, be relatively okay for this team, but likes of a Pierce Johnson, a long Tony Santini, and a rock in any area above a four.
Tim DanielGUEST
Hector Rodriguez, who I'm still really high on, has really struggled of late.
Tim DanielGUEST
Obviously TJ Friedel's not a major league baseball player anymore.
Tim DanielGUEST
And I'm trying to think of anyone else who's hit leadoff.
Tim DanielGUEST
It's not Ellie.
Scott BraunHOST
Jordan Beck, who is not a member of the Reds, but then the list just racks Reds after that.
Scott BraunHOST
TJ Friedl, Edwin Arroyo, Jose Trevino, Noelvi Marte.
Scott BraunHOST
Now, a lot of these guys are...
Scott BraunHOST
I mean, all of these guys, AJ, are sub 300 plate appearances, so that's part of this, but still, it's not 50 plate appearances.
AJ PierzynskiHOST
It hasn't been at the plate, it's been off the field where he's had some questionable decisions.
Scott BraunHOST
Mm-hmm.
AJ PierzynskiHOST
Uh, so I, I mean, you know, TJ Friedl, when we st- talked to C Trent the other day, he just had an awful year.
AJ PierzynskiHOST
And Edwin Arroyo, I mean, yeah, he had another bad year.
Tim DanielHOST
He probably played far more than he thought he was going to.
Tim DanielHOST
I can't believe he had a platoon so much with TJ Friedel.
Tim DanielHOST
Johnny, I agree with this as well.
Tim DanielHOST
I wish Brandon would have taken the last three starts from Chase as well.
C. Trent RosecransHOST
And it's just not an appealing style of baseball and obviously not exactly a winning type of baseball.
Mason EstepHOST
Yeah, and I mean, as we know, it was just yesterday, T.J. Friedel was designated for assignment.
Mason EstepHOST
And I remember last trade deadline, not this season, the previous.
Mason EstepHOST
And a couple people brought up T.J. Friedel as a potential trade candidate.
Mason EstepHOST
Are the Reds going to go for it? Are they not going to go for it? And he had a lot of value at that point in time.
Mason EstepHOST
He would have got somebody back that maybe could contribute for the next couple of seasons.

Brian GiesenschlagHOST
Here's another little opportunity for him before the season's done.
Brian GiesenschlagHOST
We'll talk more about pitching Um, and a similar opportunity in just a bit, but right now I don't want to spend too much time on this cause I feel like maybe this will be part of the final show or the season wrap show, but I wrote it down this way in the rundown.
Brian GiesenschlagHOST
Um, and I, and this is not something that I've anything other than take seriously because of how much I think of TJ Friedle.
Brian GiesenschlagHOST
But I kind of wrote down the quiet quitting of TJ Friedel this season because he was so important to this team.
Brian GiesenschlagHOST
He's been a core player for several years.
