[Big Klu]

So I'm assuming that Hamilton failed his concussion test? George and Chris were speculating that Billy would be back for today's game.

The said on the radio last night that Billy would probably still be out today, just to give him an extra day to recover.

[ScotlandRed]

I never like resting players when they're hot so I don't like sitting Bruce. I do like Waldrop getting AB's though.

Would have like to see Peraza in lead off again instead of Cozart

[cumberlandreds]

The game is on FSO. It wasn't originally scheduled but was added after an earlier rainout. It also is on some markets through the MLB Network. I hope its on in my area.

"Hot" may have something to do with it. The weather on this Southern road trip (Atlanta, Houston, and Dallas) is oppressively hot, with temperatures expected to be over 90° every single day. It is important to use the bench and give the regulars some rest, especially since last night's game ended only 12 hours ago.

[Ron Madden]

Cozart leads the game off with a single to LF.

Duvall just keeps going. I keep waiting for it to end, and he refuses to stop.

Danke Straily say our German friends.

[BluegrassRedleg]

Not a good call by Barnhart there. Guy would have been out by a mile at third. Cost the Reds a run.

[ThatPitchIsDunn]

Well that was less than ideal - Straily's gotta hustle over to first there.

[Chip R]

Wish BP hadn't hit into the dp before that.

It was Votto's fault for being on base in the first place.

[ThatPitchIsDunn]

On a 1-2 pitch, I'm not sure I'd throw it middle in on a tee to Freeman...

[Tom Servo]

That was sub-optimal.

[BluegrassRedleg]

There is absolutely no reason whatsoever to be pitching to Freddie Freeman like this.

Nick Marky Mark flies out to Peraza but the damage done. Barves up 3-2. The good news is now the Barves have to pitch.

[Tom Servo]

Also annoying because while I know he is good, Freeman was hitting .242/.336/.414 with 9 HRs on the year heading into this series. He's got 3 HRs in this series so far against the Reds.

[Tom Servo]

I'm a believer in Jose, but his K's going up a tick this year has me a little concerned. He's striking out more in AAA than last year and already K'd more in the majors than he did last year. Strikeouts should be a very tiny part of his profile.

[BluegrassRedleg]

This home plate ump's strike call. LOL

Reds' staff always a good remedy, but it's getting ridiculous at this point.

[ThatPitchIsDunn]

Wow - there's a stat. Reds pitchers are 0 for their last 42 at the plate.

[Kingspoint]

How bad do you have to be to go 0-12 in a series against the Braves (Barnhart)?

You could be the Reds' Pitchers at the plate. But hitless is still hitless.

His walk rate is also up however. I think the increase in k's is a reflection of the organization trying to get him to be deeper in counts and while this leads to more walks, it also increases the k's.

Skip, Ernie Johnson and Pete Van Weiren were all very good, IMO. Hard to believe they are all gone now.

For those tracking such things:

Duvall has upped his slugging % to .597 and now leads the NL. He only trails David Ortiz,.

Straily only gave up more than 3 runs in a start (5) against the Rockies in Colorado.

He snaps that run of success against the freaking Barves.

Huge question, I know, but which of the 8 positions does it like like we will "Start" at least an average NL player (as far as WAR goes) for 2018 "AND" 2019?

In addition, how many Pitchers does it look like we'll have in 2018 "AND" 2019, who will also be at least average in WAR for that year.

If anyone feels like giving an opinion on this, I would appreciate it.

[cumberlandreds]

Holt hitting for Diaz. Good effort by Diaz. If not for Cozart's error he would have had three scoreless innings.

I've just been lazy about following the REDS the last two years. It's been depressing and have spent my time elsewhere. The Bengals, Blackhawks, Timbers and Blazers have been more fun to follow.

But, I've watched the whole REDS' game today. 70% of my love of sports is stil the REDS. That will never change.
