I wonder if Price has any inkling that with Peraza following Hamilton at the top, he's simply repeating the mistakes of the father (Baker).

You would think growing up he would have noticed the utter futility and said to himself: "I'm not going to make the same mistakes."

You would like to think Price looked a Joe Maddon's lineup and thought to himself (among many other things), maybe speed-first isn't the way to go. I'm not necessarily anti-Price, but if he's half the analytics guy he claims to be, he wouldn't consistently bat two sub-.275 OBP at the top of the lineup.

To be fair, this could be mandated from the top.

And also in fairness, it's still pretty early. In mid-May if Hamilton and Peraza are still way underwater I doubt they'll be at the top of the order.

[Kc61]

Reds have scored third most runs in the NL. Reds scored 20 runs this weekend in games started by Lester, Arrieta and Lackey.

Team overall is stronger in SLG and weaker in OBP. Whatever the batting order.

Reds do have strong OBP candidates coming up, so in the future the lineup and batting order are likely to be better.

Agreed. There's no way he rides those sad OBPs through May, partially because it's indefensible. I do appreciate Price giving them a chance to "get things going," as Hamilton and Peraza represent potentially significant pieces going forward. If we are in win-now mode, they should be 7-8, 8-9. As is, get them some PA and see where the dust settles.

In hearing Williams talk, I have a hard time imagining he's committed to the traditional lineup format (speed-good bat-best hitter-masher).

[Reds Fanatic]

Leadoff hit for Hamilton

[Kc61]

Hamilton leads off the game with a single, which only happened because he was hitting first.

[Reds Fanatic]

Hamilton easily steals 2nd and goes to 3rd on a throwing error.

[Reds Fanatic]

Peraza continues to swing at anything strikes out on a pitch in the dirt

[OnBaseMachine]

Quality at-bat by Peraza. Please get healthy and hot, Dilson.

[Tom Servo]

ugh Peraza. c'mon man.

[Reds Fanatic]

Great AB by Votto as he walks

[Donder]

Great AB by Votto as he walks

Williams is probably fuming, I bet he told Votto to hit a homer there.

[Reds Fanatic]

Duvall strikes out swinging. At this point with the slump he is in he should be out of the cleanup spot

[Reds Fanatic]

Votto steals 2nd without a throw

[OnBaseMachine]

Runner on 3rd with no outs against a subpar pitcher and the Reds come away with nothing. Peraza needs to be hitting 8th.

[Red Raindog]

man on 3rd - no outs --- smh

[Reds Fanatic]

Suarez grounds out to 3rd. Big missed scoring chance there

[BluegrassRedleg]

The Peraza in 2 hole madness has to end.

Peraza and Duvall with awful at bats in that inning yet they continue to be penciled in 2 and 4.

[GADawg]

i hate Garza and his stupid goatee

[Kc61]

Keep Garza on the ropes and it will pay off in another inning. Threw 21 pitches, leverage situation.

[malcontent]

I've no problem with Hamilton leading off. It's Peraza who's killing me softly.

[Reds Fanatic]

Thames crushed that pitch

[OnBaseMachine]

1-0 Brewers

[The Operator]

STOP pitching to Thames!!!!!!!

[Tom Servo]

Thames again

[ochoa30]

Horrible pitch and here we go again with Thames

[Tom Servo]

STOP pitching to Thames!!!!!!!
I prefer to see the young pitchers go after him without anybody on.

[malcontent]

Doesn't this bring back the memories, Bluegrass?

[Roy Tucker]

Hanger in the wheelhouse at 79. Just like batting practice.

[Reds Fanatic]

Thames may hit 20 homers this year just against the Reds

[BluegrassRedleg]

Price, pitching staff strat vs Thames is bordering on epic fail territory.

Was too afraid to throw one fastball to the guy and hangs a meatball slider. Can't think of anyone who's doesn't crush that.

[Kc61]

I'd move Peraza down to seventh, but the Reds don't have enough guys going well to fill the lineup right now. It will work itself out.

[GADawg]

damn Thames makes me miss Bill Hall even

[RedTeamGo!]

Haha Thames, I guess just tip your hat to him and intentionally walk him every time.

[malcontent]

Brewers looking real smart going after Thames.

[Kc61]

Brewers usually put up lots of runs at home. Too bad they took 3 of 4 in Cincy, that's where the Reds need to beat them.

[zrt123]

When is the super two date again? I would like to see Winker in the two hole

[Roy Tucker]

Eric "The River" Thames.

[Kc61]

When is the super two date again? I would like to see Winker in the two hole

Mid-June.

And, you know, Winker may need some time to adjust before he is Stan Musial.

[OnBaseMachine]

Garrett struggling with command for the first time this season. Three straight 3-ball counts.

[ochoa30]

Personally don't care for turners game calling. He seems to call for pitches too many times in a row.

[Tom Servo]

Long first inning for Garrett.

[The Operator]

I prefer to see the young pitchers go after him without anybody on.
I'm not saying they should IBB him, but clearly they've got no idea as a team how to get the guy out.

[Reds Fanatic]

Pina singles 1st and 3rd with 2 outs

[zrt123]

[QUOTE]And, you know, Winker may need some time to adjust before he is Stan Musial.[/QUOTE
haha of course, I'm just hopeful he can take some of that patient approach and high contact swing with him up to the bigs

[ochoa30]

Hopefully the Reds will handle this Pina guy better. Journeyman catcher batting 430 is a bit crazy. Should see some regression soon hopefully. Or not I guess, jeez.

Welp.

That sucked. He was due for a stinker I guess.

[Reds Fanatic]

Wow. A long home run to center by Perez. 4-0 Brewers

[Roy Tucker]

Those home runs haven't been wall scrapers.

[OnBaseMachine]

4-0 Brewers.

Brewers score 3 runs with two outs and nobody on base. The Reds couldn't score with a runner on 3rd and no outs.

Reds making the Brewers backups look like All-Stars this season.

[ochoa30]

I guess Garrett was due. Hopefully expectations will come back down to earth a bit. He's good but he's a rookie.

[GADawg]

this catcher is unreal....i hate him and Garza's stupid goatee

[Red Raindog]

impressive blast

[RedTeamGo!]

Garrett was due for a start like this.

Also, the Brewers are to the Reds as the Reds are to the Pirates

[ochoa30]

Yep, a bomb. Guy loves the first pitch fastball and that's what he got.

[Donder]

Quick! Send Garrett to AAA for 2 weeks after this game while you have an excuse!!!

Young pitchers aren't known for consistency. Hope Garrett settles down.

Yeah, the big thing in starts like this for young pitchers is how they respond. If he can get the Reds five innings that would be nice.

Schebler swings through 92 right down the middle.

[RedTeamGo!]

Remember the old baseball adage about highs and lows.

Or maybe it was something about always wearing clean underwear.

Who cares, I'm drinking alone on a business trip. You. Won't. Ruin. This. For. Me. Amir.

[Reds Fanatic]

Cozart triples. His 4th this year

[malcontent]

Garrett walked 3.7/9 IP in the minors. His control is still a work-in-progress.

[Roy Tucker]

Cozart with the Pete Rose belly slide into 3rd.

[ochoa30]

Why can't the reds hit fastballs right down the middle? I've been noticing this recently. They seem to struggle with average fastballs over the plate at the belt. It's very odd. What Perez did with that type of pitch the Reds would simply foul off or swing through. Needs to change fast. Nice hit for cozart though. He looks fantastic.

[WildcatFan]

Also, the Brewers are to the Reds as the Reds are to the Pirates

Speaking of, they've given up 9 runs to the Cubs through 2+.

[NebraskaRed]

Frazier trade ain't looking as good lately.

Frazier has been awful this year too 4 for 37

Big Stu.

Yup, I'm in a random suburb of Chicago and it's the only thing on. It's terrible. Freese just made a great catch, though.

I'm also listening to chicagos and complain about the Blackhawks, who have won 3 championships since 2009. One a-hole just said the Blackhawks are an embarrassment to the city of Chicago.

I hate Chicago sports fans.

[zrt123]

Turner!

[Reds Fanatic]

Turner doubles to center. 4-1 Brewers

[ochoa30]

Frazier trade ain't looking as good lately.

Not like he's been great either but I still feel the Reds could have gotten more. They have/had a weird infatuation with Peraza. Let's hope the second half Peraza last year shows back up soon.

- - - Updated - - -

Nice hit for Turner!

[Kc61]

41 pitches by Garza. Just keeep working him. 42 pitches, two outs.

[ochoa30]

Major league pop up for Amir, lol.

[Donder]

Frazier trade ain't looking as good lately.

Well if you want to base it strictly on this year, Frazier is hitting .108/.214/.216 so I'd say the Reds won that trade HUGELY!

[Reds Fanatic]

A wild pickoff throw to 2nd moves Turner to 3rd as the throw hits Turner

[Kc61]

The Frazier trade was originally a disaster for the Reds. Then it was great for the Reds. Now it's bad for the Reds, unless you consider Frazier's season in which case it's ok for the Reds.

All I know is Peraza needs to get back to whatever he was doing last year. Same for schebler but perazas development means more to the Reds IMO. Don't care about Frazier anymore.

The Home Run Derby in Cinci broke Todd.

Peraza hit .343/.343/.478 in spring training. He's had a bad stretch, it happens.

[ochoa30]

Thoms secret agent thing is really stupid. Stop trying to make that work, it's not gonna happen.

[ochoa30]

Peraza hit .343/.343/.478 in spring training. He's had a bad stretch, it happens.

Couldn't care less about spring stats. Look what Alcantara did. He's been really bad this year. I know slumps happen, haven't given up, just hoping it ends sooner then later.

[Roy Tucker]

Thom clearly just learned this secret agent joke in the offseason.

I was trying to work out the math of how bad you have to be to hit .007. Pretty darn bad.

Don't walk guys in front of Thames.

Two out walk to Villar with Thames on deck. Bold strategy.

[ochoa30]

Walks Villar, hilarious

HR. 6-1 Brewers.

LOL.

[Reds Fanatic]

Thames is a bad man. 6-1 Brewers

The Home Run Derby in Cinci broke Todd.

I think pitchers just adjusted. He has a wild swing.

[Roy Tucker]

I take August and September success with a large grain of salt.

Garrett has issued two, two out walks in two innings. It's cost the Reds five runs.

[Tadasimha]

Thames with home run #10!

[ochoa30]

Another horrible pitch, couldn't put it on a tee better

The Reds should automatically give Thames first base every time he's up from now on.

Reds are gonna lose a lot of games this year. I know this isn't a surprise. But it should be becoming very obvious to anyone who was doubting it. Hopefully enough for Bryan price to go away forever and get a nice high pick. If your gonna be bad just do it, don't half ass it, lol.

[BluegrassRedleg]

Young mindset is to throw strike no matter what after those. Experienced hitters are sitting on that IMO. You need to be around the plate after a walk, but not as sweet as these guys serve it up in those situations. Learning process, I suppose.

How do you call what the Reds have been doing these last years NOT being bad??

We have to lead the league in weak pop ups this year. I bet it's not even close.

[ochoa30]

How do you call what the Reds have been doing these last years NOT being bad??

Never said that, they've been bad and they should be equally bad this year. Pointless to win 72 games and get the 10th pick. Go all out for the number 1 or 2 again.

I mean for one thing he's mostly demolishing our bad pitching so far, but I don't see the fit. There's a reason why Milwaukee has him playing first, he was bad defensively in the outfield 5 years ago. And the Reds already have a potentially crowded outfield situation even if he could play there.

Yeah, it's been Reds' pitching, but I don't think it's going to end there. He looks like a monster. With that bat speed and power, I'd put him in CF if I had to.

Be interesting as it will be his 2nd start in St. Louis already

Yep, and their bats seem to be waking up a bit unfortunately

[Reds Fanatic]

Amazed that Garrett is batting here

Saving the bullpen as much as possible. Gotta make it to Thursday.

Amazed that Billy hit a weak fly ball. /s

1-2-3 inning

Forgot that these were possible

Swell. Now I've got the Miller "if you've got the time, we've got the beer, Miller beer" song stuck in my head.

Guess I need to go get a beer from the garage.

Read that as "need to go get a beer from the garbage" and it still made sense

If you married her and I married one of your daughters we could go on the talk show circuit and make a fortune

Shades of Fritz Peterson and Mike Kekich.

What does Peraza have to not do to get out of the two hole?
Dude is an auto out.
Cozart should have been there a loooong time ago.
Price is hard headed.

On the plus side, with Thames leading off he will likely not have anyone on base when he homers.

[Raisor]

I was thinking the same thing

[Reds Fanatic]

At least they learned how to walk Thames

[ochoa30]

Never felt this way against any hitter. I don't think the Reds can get him out. Prefer the walk tbh.

Who are you and what have you done with the real PPI!

who is Ariel Hernandez again

is he an actual prospect or

9-4 as Braun doubles. Every walk has led to a run tonight

[OnBaseMachine]

Seven runs off walks.

[DocRed]

Bryan Price is smarter than all of us..

[Reds Fanatic]

Votto just saved another run at least for now

[Tom Servo]

Yes, kinda.

Pretty sure he's playing 4D chess here, let's just give him a chance and see how this plays out...

I have a fridge in my garage. Stocked pretty well. My son in law worked at Dutch's in Hyde Park so I shop there.

[Big Klu]

Maybe Amir had to learn a lesson.

[malcontent]

I mean for one thing he's mostly demolishing our bad pitching so far, but I don't see the fit. There's a reason why Milwaukee has him playing first, he was bad defensively in the outfield 5 years ago. And the Reds already have a potentially crowded outfield situation even if he could play there.
Yeah, it's been Reds' pitching, but I don't think it's going to end there. He looks like a monster. With that bat speed and power, I'd put him in CF if I had to.

[Raisor]

This is actually genius. It'll hurt Garnett's arbitration case in a few years

[PutPeteIn]

Also don't like leaving a Rookie out there to get shelled regardless of bullpen status.
Price is inept at best. Insane at worst.

[Wonderful Monds]

Yes, kinda.

Ohhhhh yeah I think I remember this guy now

Flashback to Saturday game. 8 walks, most of them scored. Yesterday's win....you guessed it, no walks.

This might mean more if you were saying this back in the winter.

[Reds Fanatic]

10-4

[DocRed]

Bryan Price exercising his Mensa status

[ochoa30]

Theres the tenth run. Great call leaving him out there price.

[Tom Servo]

I know they need innings, but it really sucks to do this to a guy who's been giving you innings all year. Not his fault that Finnegan and Reed had blow-up games.

You know things are bad when this post happens.

[GADawg]

its like an alternate bizarro type of ORG here tonight with people actually jonesing for Cozart to hit 2nd......this time last year most didn't want him hitting at all
