#Reds rotation out the break:
Leake
DeSclafani
Cueto
Lorenzen
Iglesias

Could flop DeSclafain, Lorenzen if Lorenzen’s glute isn’t 100%

Most likely replace Cueto with Cingrani here, right?

Marlins not a great offensive team, but they play to their ballpark. The Reds always seem to play to GABP, whether they are actually AT GABP or not.

I hope this process of holding onto Cueto until almost the deadline works out. I keep thinking the Reds are just tempting fate.

The Reds supposedly are going to re-shape the roster after the ASG. Well, the ASG is Tuesday, let's see if they do something to break this current cycle.

I am not able to watch the game. With Runners on in the 1st and this inning.....did Haren give him anything to hit at all or did Bruce go chasing? When he he his double ...did Haren just throw him fastballs?

If it sounds like I am going bruce bashing with this...It is not my intention. A few posters have already said with RISP Bruce has to know a pitcher is not going to give in to him and he just cannot lay off the crap.

I don't think it will cost much, but I agree. The whole idea of keeping Cueto this long, specifically related to "what will the fans think at the All Star Game" when he didn't even wind up making the damn team, has been incredibly stupid.

Tony Cloninger

And when they do get on base they have hitters who problems getting them in.....even with runners on 3rd and less than 2 outs. Too many excuses for the not getting on base enough when the not driving them in more is not exactly gold either. Even Todd has been horrible this year with Runner on 3rd and less than 2 outs this year. He was 1 for 12 at some point and with SO and pop outs being the majority of outs.

Is this hard for people here to admit that this not a SS anymore and full season trend? I know this team is OBP challenged but it is even more challenged getting them in when they are as well.

I just don't see this as an actual thing. What is the hypothesis then, that the Reds are a bunch of weak willed nancy boys who shake in their boots when there are runners in scoring position?

They simply aren't a very good hitting team, RISP or not.

The Reds are what they are - a low OBP long ball team that struggles to score if they don't get a couple homers in a game. Scoring guys from third is just part of that overall problem

Well, the Reds have the 11th best BA in the league; and the worst BA with men in scoring position. So they don't get a lot of hits, and they are even worse with men in scoring position.

I tend to think that they have too many power hitters and too few solid singles hitters. As Redleg Jake just said.

Bourgoeis' single there is more effective than the previous long fly ball out.

That's using an extreme downgrading of manhood to disparage my analysis. ;)

They are manly men who are trying to hard and end up screwing themselves by being unable to relax and realize the pitcher is the one with the pressure on not them.....and in the process become overeager and prone to try and do too much when nothing is offered to them. Or they just suck.

After last season Walt said the team needed more baserunners. He was correct.

He had LF open to add a high percentage OBP man. He added Marlon Byrd.

Byrd is a good player. But he didn't fit the need. However, the Reds are only paying him $4MM. Any superior OBP man, such as Dexter Fowler, would have cost more.

That is why the Reds need to restructure their payroll. They can't afford to meet the needs of their baseball team.

It's a crying shame that Johnny Cueto will not pitch in the ASG. The spot was available. The game is in Cincy.

All so he could pitch in this meaningless game today in Miami.

I gotta admit it's pretty funny the way the Reds screwed everything up and left everybody unhappy.


Unrelated: Justin Bour was a nice pickup by Miami as a Rule 5 pick, not a young star but a solid power hitter at 1B who can probably give them 2-3 seasons of good production. Kinda surprised the Cubs didn't at least include him in a trade instead of just letting him slip away.

The Reds lit up Max Scherzer the other night. Trying to explain it to be the fault of the pitcher is really unnecessary. Good pitchers have bad games, it doesn't always have to be an overall, regular dysfunction with the guy. I'd say teams would be more concerned and pay attention to what he does in 90% of his starts rather than the 10% bad ones.

Especially considering how many people said the Reds can't do X or Y or Z because of the ASG or until after the ASG. I didn't buy into that line of thinking, but if it was true, the Reds should have done what you suggest here.

Cueto finished second in the "final player" voting, NL. He just shut out the Nationals. I think it is highly likely he would have been asked to fill the Scherzer spot -- except that Johnny was pitching Sunday and wouldn't be able to go on Tuesday.

Had the Reds re-scheduled Johnny for next Thursday or Friday, IMO he would have been asked. Instead, Kershaw was asked.

Edit - the Reds play Friday, Cueto could have been chosen to pitch Friday. What would have been the big deal?

With the game in Cincy, with Cueto finishing second in the final vote, with the shutout of the Nationals, I am pretty confident he would have received the call.

8-1 Marlins. Could these beatdowns give Bob any ideas about big changes?

Like selling this team and buying a different one?

Capps has an advantage because he's pitching two feet closer to the plate.

today's version of Good Night Irene is by Jerry Lee Lewis and Van Morrison --- not the combo one might think of first!

We don't need to play the 9th inning. We surrender.

Glad to see Hoover getting some work in an incredibly meaningless situation.

What will the fans think if the (soon to be) 39-47 Reds start trading players, one could think they were admitting they aren't going to make the playoffs!

I guess they're saving Hoover for next Friday. Stupid is as stupid does.

Down 5-1 why would they put in their 8th inning set up man for?

You can say that Badenhop could go 2 innings sometimes but this is not the 70;s when Clay or Pedro would come in almost every other game.

Everyone has a systematic role that can't be changed. Guess he watched what Dusty was doing. Beats me, but down by 4, why throw gasoline on the fire?

Today's "Joe Nuxhall Star of the Game" is Marlins 1B Justin Bour, who was 3-for-4 with 2 2B's and 3 RBI's.

Reds on pace to be 74-88. Two year record is 109-133. Time for a change from top to bottom.

Injuries don't explain these horrible performances for the last 2 weeks. This team has quit and along with some lousy players.....it's a great combo. Bob C is smarter to think this is OK moving forward.

Watching Yorman work the count well....then swing at a ball that was high halfway there and going higher....and outside shows he would fit right in here with guys who chase at bad pitches.
Waldrop swung feebly at an 0-1 pitch and pulled it to the 2nd baseman.
Amir Garrett gives up the 1st run of the game and it could have been more without a throw out at the plate.

And we think the Phillies future looks bad.

That's frustration big time talking.

Just watched the replay.

Embarrassing performance at the plate and in the field. Games can be won from 3 or 4 runs down, but the team looks like it gives up so easily.
