“Those were tactical changes,” Wicky said of tweaking his lineup. “(W)e have a pretty competitive roster when everyone’s back. Everyone will be back hopefully soon besides Stanislav Ivanov, who is out for longer. But after that, this is the norm. That’s the only way a team can get better, if you have this competition and you have possibilities to change players, to rotate players.
“I remember being a rookie (in Colorado) and getting into some trouble in games, falling behind on counts, and I’d look over at Todd (Helton), and Todd would give me a stern look, ‘Let’s go,’” Brothers said. “I always seemed to respond pretty well to that, so I just told ‘Rossy’: ‘Let me know if you need more out of me. If you see me slacking, just flat out tell me I’ve got to pick it up or just be better.
“If the McCaskeys are saying, ‘This is it.’ I would say, ‘Hell, then let me go get Russell Wilson because I don’t have time to wait on the young guy.’ They may feel they’re one player away, I don’t know. If they do, then Russell was the play. He would make it better for them. Nagy, like most offensive-minded coaches, thinks he’s smarter than everyone else in the world. All of them do. Our guy does. All offensive-minded head coaches think that way. I’m not killing him. It is what it is. Now, you have to see what he can do with Fields.”
“Right now it’s when in doubt, that fastball has been good for him. At the same time, when you see a hitter cheating to it, you can throw the changeup. He’s throwing a lot of changeups for strikes, and then he has that wipeout slider. He’s getting that curveball over for strike one a lot. The way he’s going right now, there’s nothing I can do wrong almost back there.”
The Reds got a pair of singles before Clase (2-1) fielded an infield tapper and threw wide of second base, allowing Nick Senzel to score from second. Then, with runners at the corners, Clase began his windup before stopping and tried to throw to second.
“Whenever we went and played in arenas where they had fans, it was refreshing, especially to interact with some of the people and hear the crowd noise,” LaVine said this week. “Some trash talking or the cheers or whatever it is, just having that atmosphere in basketball is great. With your home fans and the city being back here, it’s going to be great. Very excited to at least play some games back at the United Center with our fans there.”

“It was actually very beneficial being able to do that,” Crochet said. “Being on the IL, nobody wants to be there, but being there and not having to worry about going into a game, just being able to get the mound work midseason I felt was awesome. I feel like it helped me nip a lot of things in the bud.”
