"Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Scooter Gennett said Monday that he will be out for a few games.

On his Instagram account, Gennett said he was reaching for a bottle of body wash in the shower after a recent game in Pittsburgh and sliced his middle finger.

He said he hoped to be back in the lineup on Wednesday. "

So I'm assuming the tub was lined with razor blades?

[RedTeamGo!]

That is such a bizarre way to cut your finger I actually believe it.

[mikesreds]

I like that lineup. I am so over Phillips. Negron deserves the chance. Come on Reds. It's still early and I will be watching tonite.

[RedsBrick]

Was hoping to open this thread and see Boesch's name in the line-up again. Hoping, not expecting.

What the hell has he got in his shower that protect the body wash? a bobcat?

[GADawg]

You're over Phillips but you're not over Bruce? Maybe actually watch a game or two or check out a few early stats for what they're worth

[dubc47834]

I like that lineup. I am so over Phillips. Negron deserves the chance. Come on Reds. It's still early and I will be watching tonite.

Why are you over Phillips? He has had a solid season so far. BP is not the reason the Reds are struggling!

[RedTeamGo!]

Marlon Byrd has 42 at bats with 0 walks and 13 strikeouts. Walt thought this was a good idea.

[CySeymour]

You're judging the Byrd acquisition after 42 at bats?

[RedTeamGo!]

You're judging the Byrd acquisition after 42 at bats?

No, I judged it the moment the trade happened. Now I am just checking to see how bad it is going and thought I would share.

[CySeymour]

No, I judged it the moment the trade happened. Now I am just checking to see how bad it is going and thought I would share.

No problems judging it when it happened, that's fine. But to judge how his whole season will go after 42 at bats is extremely reactionary.

[SirFelixCat]

The only one on RZ more reactionary than RTG is JMO! ;)

Obviously, but it's his first bi-weekly checkup and he really need to stop smoking and start eating more vegetables.

The game is the free game of the day on MLB.com.

We could take bets now on all the questionable signings if this sample size should be considered negligible or a data point. You name the stakes.

Believe it or not, Byrd is having a worse season than Gregg or Marquis.

I like to wait until left fielders pitch at least 20 innings before evaluating them.

[Kc61]

I think BP will do better if he gets more frequent rests, so tonight is a good decision.

[757690]

Everybody for the sequel to One Weekend in Milwaukee?

[TheBigLebowski]

"LOL"

[WildcatFan]

Offense-free.

[Kc61]

If somebody is trying to teach Billy H to slap the ball and use his speed, it's hard to discern.

[NebraskaRed]

That was quite a throw to second.

[Kc61]

Jay Bruce strikes out with three long swings on sinking pitches that wound up low.

[Tracy Jones]

Is it finally time to admit that Jay Bruce is terrible?

[NebraskaRed]

Come for the sausage race, stay to watch 2 slumping, offense-starved teams give it minimal effort.

[Kc61]

Is it finally time to admit that Jay Bruce is terrible?

No. He gets this full year to get back on track.

[757690]

If somebody is trying to teach Billy H to slap the ball and use his speed, it's hard to discern.

So far this year, he has more than twice as many GB as FB. His LD rate is low, and his BABIP is at .241. He keeps up that GB/FB rate, he'll be fine this season.

[Tracy Jones]

No. He gets this full year to get back on track.

Good luck with that. I've given up. I'll gladly eat a giant plate of crow if he proves me wrong.

[kaldaniels]

Thom begging Braun to hit a home run.

[BCubb2003]

Good luck with that. I've given up. I'll gladly eat a giant plate of crow if he proves me wrong.

With the right sauce, the wings are tasty.

[NebraskaRed]

I like DeSclafani.

[757690]

Disco reminds me of a thinner Harang.

[Tracy Jones]

With the right sauce, the wings are tasty.

I'll gladly let Jay himself shove them down my throat.

[paintmered]

Should be a good night for those who like quick games.

[WildcatFan]

Reds have a JayByrd problem.

[Tracy Jones]

Byrd has never seen a pitch he didn't like.

[kaldaniels]

Simon's throwing against NYY tonight if anyone wants to fire that discussion up.

[Tracy Jones]

Keep hacking at the first pitch Zack. It works so well for you.

[50YrRedsFan]

Byrd and Bruce back to back = K city

[paintmered]

Sheesh, at least see a few pitches of you're going to hit a lazy fly to shallow center.

[kaldaniels]

Keep hacking at the first pitch Zack. It works so well for you.

Sadly he is not a good hitter. That was right down Broadway and he pops it up. If he can't handle that there's no advice to give him.

Unofficial count from pre-game tirade by Cincinnati Reds manager Bryan Price in meeting with reporters...77 f-bombs. Unhappy with coverage.

I'm convinced Paralta would walk in a run if they would let him.

[Tracy Jones]

Sadly he is not a good hitter. That was right down Broadway and he pops it up. If he can't handle that there's no advice to give him.

Retire maybe?

[paintmered]

Wow, run big fella!

[kaldaniels]

Ooooooooh.........

[WildcatFan]

I just KNEW Peña was going to be out on that one. Good throw nails him.

[Tracy Jones]

Bat Disco 3rd.

[NebraskaRed]

I really like DeScalfani.

[Tom Servo]

Yay bottom of the lineup!

[kaldaniels]

Retire maybe?

As long as they keep running him out there I can't hold it against him.

[BluegrassRedleg]

He'll be safe. If we were playing STL, he'd be out by a fraction of a millimeter.

[paintmered]

Big cheer = out at home?

Yep, there's the call. Overturned.

[Rantly]

Keep hacking at the first pitch Zack. It works so well for you.

.326

[BluegrassRedleg]

Orrrrrrr, maybe not.

[Chuckie]

You've gotta be KIDDING me.

[NC Reds]

That play summed up the last week well.

[kaldaniels]

You want the front foot to hit the plate Bryan.

Nice camera shot.

[Chuckie]

It was that conclusive that it took them 30 seconds to review it? I call BS. That was too close. Call on the field should have stood.

I hate MLB.

[WildcatFan]

Unofficial count from pre-game tirade by Cincinnati Reds manager Bryan Price in meeting with reporters...77 f-bombs. Unhappy with coverage.

Does he think the media should be HARDER on him? He's been getting softballs by the local guys all year long.

Well, that sucks.

When things go bad, they really go bad.

Literally anyone else running and that's a run. Guess that's the way it's going for our offense at the moment.

[paintmered]

Yes, GM. Let's give people more opportunities to drive distracted.

[Tracy Jones]

.326

Haha yeah. Hanley Ramirez is gonna hit 80 HR's too.

[kaldaniels]

Does he think the media should be HARDER on him? He's been getting softballs by the local guys all year long.

C Trent didn't ask him about the Mesoraco situation he just tried to put 2 and 2 together without consulting Price.

[kaldaniels]

Literally anyone else running and that's a run. Guess that's the way it's going for our offense at the moment.

When they showed him huffing and puffing around third I had a bad feeling.

How legit is the source regarding the "tirade" from Price??

EDIT: Or was that just a joke?

[Tracy Jones]

As long as they keep running him out there I can't hold it against him.

This is true. Had such high hopes for him at one time.

[Chip R]

Why are you over Phillips? He has had a solid season so far. BP is not the reason the Reds are struggling!

Cause all the cool kids are over BP.

[paintmered]

I enjoy Welsh breaking down pitching mechanics.

[WildcatFan]

C Trent didn't ask him about the Mesoraco situation he just tried to put 2 and 2 together without consulting Price.

So he was pissed Trent asked him about why he didn't use Mesoraco when Devin wasn't actually in the park?

[Red Raindog]

When they shows him huffing and puffing around third I had a bad feeling.

yup --- like one of the guys I was playing golf with this morning -- second hole he starts hufing & puffing (way over weight) then he tells me he thinks he's having another heart "episode" --- we make him quit -- he doesn't argue much -- and is now in the hospital getting a stent in the morning....

talked to his wife -- he says he'll be back next week

[NebraskaRed]

How legit is the source regarding the "tirade" from Price??

EDIT: Or was that just a joke?

His twitter profile reads thusly: "Industry reporter for @WMEP_News. Contributing writer for @milwaukeemag. Stringer for @AP_Sports covering pro and college sports."

Side angle from the same moment looked like it was up. Mmmmmaybe the back of his heel brushed the plate but it didn't appear so.

[Redsfan320]

Trent didn't ask that before writing the article.

[Tracy Jones]

Remember when everybody loved the Simon trade and hated the Latos trade?

[JaxRed]

I'm watching Brewers broadcast. They had several vantage points. He was clearly out.....

[WildcatFan]

Trent didn't ask that before writing the article.

Gotcha. Whatever gets him fired up, I guess.

[kaldaniels]

Remember when everybody loved the Simon trade and hated the Latos trade?

I'm saving going back and reading the Latos trade thread for a special occasion.

[TheBigLebowski]

Can someone please explain to me how the deuce I can watch this game for free at mlb.com? Keeps telling me I have to pay.

[Rantly]

Does anybody know what the % of reviewed calls have gone in the Reds favor since inception, seems like it is about 25% if I would guess.

[Tracy Jones]

[Tom Servo]

So the Willy Peralta complete game shutout just seems inevitable, right?

[Chip R]

I didn't think I'd be saying this in April but this is the Battle of the Suck.

[paintmered]

This game needs a good brawl to liven it up.

It's on MLB.TV for free (streaming on computer, android, some blu ray players) . You still have to have an account, even though you don't pay.

[Tracy Jones]

Bruce is gonna hit one out to lead off the 4th now that I dogged him

[Always Red]

[TheBigLebowski]

I do, but it still prompted me to buy each time. My account is a simple, freebie mlb.com account and I Pay 2.99/month for the at bat app.

[Tracy Jones]

Haha he got a hold of that one!

Probably first team to 1 wins.

[dubc47834]

Haha he got a hold of that one!

Who on this team do you like?

[Tracy Jones]

Bruce hit the crap out of that one.

He more than anyone else has killed this offense the last year + 12 games.

[Tom Servo]

A 3 pitch count on Byrd before making an out. Progress!

[Tracy Jones]

Who on this team do you like?

I don't dislike Jay Bruce. He's just become a terrible player.

[50YrRedsFan]

I do, but it still prompted me to buy each time. My account is a simple, freebie mlb.com account and I Pay 2.99/month for the at bat app. Try logging out, then log in again. Go to page that lists the games. The Reds game should show a yellow banner saying free game.

[dubc47834]

I don't dislike Jay Bruce. He's just become a terrible player.

Answer the question!!!

[Chuckie]

A 3 pitch count on Byrd before making an out. Progress!

I know it's early, but I've just about given up on him. I don't see any reason to think he's going to turn it around. Old, slow bat speed. Not a good combination.

[Stray]

If the players and coaches hate Trent, then I like him.
A beat guy who is disliked by the players and coach is not a very good beat writer. Need to have some sort of professional working relationship to do that job properly.

I've never cared much for his work anyway. Wish Cincy had better guys covering the reds.

[paintmered]

Edge of the infield power.

[Tracy Jones]

Answer the question!!!

Why do you care? I like Tucker Barnhart.

[TheBigLebowski]

No logical reason to expect otherwise, sadly.

[dubc47834]

Why do you care? I like Tucker Barnhart.

Just wondering IF you liked anyone on the team. All you seem to do is complain!

[WildcatFan]

Apparently a woman in Pittsburgh was leaning up against the netting behind home plate and was hit in the head by a foul ball. Game's been delayed 10+ minutes.

Completely untrue. I'm actually quite optimistic. However, I'm also a realist.

They brought out a stretcher for that lady. Awful.

That's the baseball equivalent of banking in a three and not calling it.

And I was outraged when they clubbed the baby seals !!!

[Tom Servo]

Boy, here I was thinking Scooter Gennett was a dummy and I just came within a few centimeters of cutting myself good using a big knife.

[NC Reds]

I still think it is too early in the year to draw conclusions about the offense. I would like to see a more patient approach, but that seems to be out of vogue.

Hey, I thought this game started at 8.

Late arrival.

[Tracy Jones]

I still think it is too early in the year to draw conclusions about the offense. I would like to see a more patient approach, but that seems to be out of vogue.

I agree. I'm just tired of Bruce. He's supposed to be a cornerstone player, and was up until last year.

Looked like she was going back to her seat and was just really close to the net facing away from the field. I won't post the video here but you can search it on Twitter. She goes down immediately. Going on 25 minutes.

Best pdoc article I have read. This is a weird situation with Mesoraco. Nobody knows what is going on.

[Tracy Jones]

A hit on the first pitch will do nicely though.

[SweetLou1990]

If Mes is missing from the clubhouse, while he has a hip issue, but is reported as being available, but again, is in a different state, that is newsworthy

[FlyingPig]

Run and bunt with 2 strikes on a pitcher. At least the Reds arent the Brewers.

[KronoRed]

That play reminded me of the Reds calling a hit and run with Jimmy Anderson on 1st.

[Tracy Jones]

Wow. Votto looked out at 1st.

[Cyclone792]

Just want to point out that as of this moment in the top of the 6th Votto and the pitcher have as many hits as the collective Castro's: 2 for each group.

[paintmered]

That play reminded me of the Reds calling a hit and run with Jimmy Anderson on 1st.

Those were some dark days. On the other hand, our Snark Over Replacement Posters had never been higher.

[Falcon7]

You can't slide with your lead leg up in the air! Watch Bruce slide his lead leg is at least a foot up almost every time.

There you go Jay!

Terrible swing on a 2-0 pitch.

Byrd may not be as good as we thought he might be, but he's not THIS bad.

[SweetLou1990]

Eek

[membengal]

A run!

[Stray]

Bring back Heisey!

[Tracy Jones]

Thank the good lord!

[Larry Schuler]

Bases loaded, no outs.

Score 1 on a sac fly.

2014-2015 Reds baseball.

[paintmered]

I hope Price has some explicatives left in the tank for that Byrd at-bat.

[Kc61]

1-0 Reds but the Byrd at bat was a true rally killer.

[Trajinous]

Praise Jeeeeeeeeesus!

Bob Boone: Was that wrong? Should I not have done that? I tell you, I gotta plead ignorance on this thing, because if anyone had said anything to me at all when I first started here that that sort of thing is frowned upon...

I'll take Reds history for $100, Alex.

Boone, Miley, Narron, teh Dusty and Price.

[kbrake]

I hope Price has done explicatives left in the tank for that Byrd at-bat.

He'll be fine with the AB as long as the media doesn't report that it happened.

[Kc61]

If I'm the Reds manager I hit for Zack Cozart here.

I know he's off to a very good start. I know it's unorthodox. I hope he proves me wrong.

It might be possible for Byrd to match the fecklessness of last year's "left fielders".

[The Operator]

Cozart the mvp!!!

[Stray]

I honestly didn't think we could make our LF worse from last year.

Cozart!

[Roy Tucker]

I'll take that.

[Larry Schuler]

Wow. The pinch hitter they put in for Cozart just went DEEP!

[NebraskaRed]

Cozart for president.

[Rantly]

Cozart is back!?!

[Spazzrico]

In Cozart we trust!

[SweetLou1990]

Bryan Price would like a word with you.

[The Operator]

Brewers fans seem unhappy. Eh?

[paulrichjr]

Cozart!!!!!

Beautiful


All I can say is Thank you Barry Larkin for that advice in Spring Training

[Tom Servo]

I know that I, for one, have never said a single bad word about Zachary Cozart.

Very Nice...we needed that from you

[Sabo Fan]

Double post.

I blame Zach Cozart. He hits a home run and it crashes the internet.

[Trajinous]

Yay! At least we aren't Brewer fans!

[durl]

Cozart for clean-up!

[Todd Gack]

Uhhhhhh, . . .did Zack Cozart just hit a bomb?

Alright, two more clean innings from DeSclafani, then Gregg, then Chapman, and we go to bed.
