I'm sure he is just trying something different cause right now this offense is horrific

[Tom Servo]

4 pitch walk to start the game, that's our Finnegan.

[membengal]

Four pitch walk to start things for finnegan. Hope that is just a hiccup.

[Tom Servo]

jesus christ

[membengal]

Oh dear. That’s the kind of little league stuff that gets you to 8-25.

[Reds Fanatic]

Wow a possible DP ball turns into nothing

[Tom Servo]

That is honestly one of the worst plays I can ever remember seeing.

[Ron Madden]

Scooter! :(

[ochoa30]

Gotta feel for these pitchers. Even when they do what they're supposed to the D screws it up.

[Tom Servo]

Welsh blaming Votto despite Gennett once again being nowhere close to throwing the ball properly to first base.

[ochoa30]

Scooter needs to be DL'd if he cant throw. His bat isnt there right now either.

[Kinsm]

Scooter needs to be DL'd if he cant throw. His bat isnt there right now either.

They'd just go with an even shorter bench. Reds have always been very proficient at keeping injured players around.

[Tom Servo]

2-0 Marlins.

Drive safe everyone.

[Reds Fanatic]

Already 2-0 Marlins

[membengal]

Are we sure that they can’t threaten the 1962 Mets?

I'm tired of Finnegan throwing 90 mph fastballs nowhere close, this isn't coming close to whatever it's supposed to be accomplishing.

Finnegan is a disaster.

Agreed, he sucks really badly right now.

[Tom Servo]

That one was 94, but he's clearly not capable of starting big league games right now. So what are we doing?

[Reds Fanatic]

With every Finnegan start it is victory if he even makes it past the 1st inning

[ochoa30]

The reds aren't a big league team so they dont seem to care.

[membengal]

I remain aghast that they spent the off-season counting on finnegan in the starting staff. Just the very definition of hope as a plan.

[Alabama]

Gross

[membengal]

That sign behind home plate for $10 tickets for the reds/Cubs series? That’s gonna look great to cubs fans.

[Tom Servo]

And at least he pitched a little last year, as opposed to not at all like the similarity pencilled in DeSclafani. It boggles the mind.

[ochoa30]

An out! Only 26 more to go.

[Kinsm]

Brandon Finnegan is not good. I don't care what he did in a ten game stretch 2 years ago.

[Ironman92]

Defense is a bit sub par

Pitching not good
Defense quite bad
Offense not good

How we supposed to win?

[Reds Fanatic]

I don’t know whether to laugh or cry at this point

[BillDoran]

That one was 94, but he's clearly not capable of starting big league games right now. So what are we doing?

Why is he given the chance to dictate when he returned to the bigs? If I remember correctly, he made it pretty clear he was done in AAA after his one (really bad) start.

I don't see the Nationals or Dodgers being held hostage by an unproven pitcher. Williams needs to have a firmer hand in controlling players. Send him back to AAA until he proves he's ready. So sick of the amateur BS.

[RedTeamGo!]

Breaking News: Finnegan is trash

[Boston Red]

That ball was hammered, but it looked to me like Peraza literally jumped out of the way of the ball.

[Tom Servo]

Brandon Finnegan is not good. I don't care what he did in a ten game stretch 2 years ago.
I'm not completely down on him. I just have no idea what they think is being accomplished sending him out there to take this. He has options, and a DL stint could very easily be justified.

[Ironman92]

Tom Emanski isn’t going to use any Reds infielder for his videos.

[Kinsm]

And the lineup starts over again...only the 1st inning.

[membengal]

I don’t know whether to laugh or cry at this point

Both works for me.

[Ironman92]

This has the potential to be the worst game of the year for the Reds

[RedTeamGo!]

He’s bullpen or whatever at this point.

[ochoa30]

Only 39 pitches. Not too shabby.

[Ron Madden]

Scooter can't throw the ball right now. I don't know why the won't put him on the DL and let him get well.

[Ironman92]

Only 39 pitches. Not too shabby.

I've been attending Reds games since Crosley Field. This team is filled with could be's, has been's and never was's.

[WVRedsFan]

This is an exercise in futility. This game and this season. Wonder if Dick is sorry he didn't try to get a veteran starter in the off-season? Probably not.

[Ironman92]

I’ll translate the great Jim Mora Sr into Reds terms....

We can’t hit, we can’t field...but we make up for it by not being able to pitch

[RedTeamGo!]

Scooter can't throw the ball right now. I don't know why the won't put him on the DL and let him get well.

Because inexplicably the Reds FO does not understand how the disabled list works.

[ochoa30]

Last time Finnegan said he was really still in spring training. My reaction was to send him on a flight to Goodyear.

I have no idea about his long term future, but Finny should not be starting games for the Reds right now.

Let him get his rhythm back in minor league games.

[Alabama]

How quickly can the Reds help Straily get his ERA under 6? I doubt it takes that long

I think they'll tag him for multiple HRs.

[KronoRed]

Guy in harris teeter saw my Reds hat and we chatted about the team a bit, told me he was on his way home to watch, he's not giving up on these guys.

I'm guess he's already finished one of the bottles of wine he was holding.

Wish I could have confidence that this team will do anything positive but they've sapped that out of me this year. I fully expect them to struggle to score 3 runs in this game.

[Kc61]

if I were GM, I’d bring Keury Mella up to start from AA. Replacing Finnegan. Before his next turn.

Mella is at AA for the second year, he’s been in the minors since 2012, he’s pitching great.

He’d effectively be skipping AAA (only one game there last season), but I see nobody at AAA who should have a Reds rotation spot right now.

The issue is whether he’d be rushed, but he’ll be 25 in August and there’s precedent for bringing guys directly up from AA.

[ochoa30]

18 scoreless innings in a row against the Marlins, lol

Guess that's what a Gold Glove does for you. Mesorocco hasn't had much chance playing a couple of days a week. I'd change that to 50-50 just to give him a chance.

This is the Reds problem, their best option is in AA and would have to skip a level. Not good.

They might leave him out there to take one for the team and save the BP for the Mets series.

Hard to believe but this is only Finnegan's 8th start since his lifetime ago seven dominant innings (https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/CIN/CIN201704050.shtml)against the Phillies to start 2017.

Yes. But Mella has been around. He’s not someone who just got to AA, he pitched there last season.

Why they didn’t advance him to AAA this year, I don’t know. He’s been a very hot pitcher at AA.

I’m sure it isn’t Plan A, but Castillo handled the jump last year. That Luis started slowly this year could happen to any sophomore.

Mella needs to go to AAA and pitch well before getting the call to GABP every 5th day imho.

Really up to the scouts/managers/coaches who watch him every day. Being at AA does not necessarily mean he’s unready. But he could be, it’s something for them to consider.

I read Dick Williams et al were just down watching Pensacola play, maybe this was part of the agenda.

What a scam that is. Good for a free pizza the day after the game, so if you are not local (I have a three-hour drive each way), it's worthless.

I suppose you could camp overnight in front of the shop until it opens, depending on how soon you have to be back.

[Kc61]

If Reds lose they will be tied for worst record with Baltimore.

Orioles must really be having a tough year.

[Kinsm]

what kind of pizza?

[Ron Madden]

what kind of pizza?

LaRosa's

don't you think free pizza is worth a 6 hour drive?

[Kinsm]

LaRosa's

I used to love it, now it's meh. Every time a restaurant goes to more than a few stores they start making their food in some centralized area and send it to the stores - you can tell it's canned.

[Ron Madden]

Will Peralta finish this inning?

[membengal]

Welsh REALLY being optimistic by saying “the reds may be catching the Mets at the right time” as if teams don’t use the reds to pull out of tailspins...

Everybody in the league has the Reds circled on their schedule.

[InsaneinthBrame]

Let this sink in the Marlins are better than the Reds

[ochoa30]

Let this sink in the Marlins are better than the Reds

Right now sure, sad state for this franchise either way

[Big Klu]

Jim Day mentions that the ESPN Sunday Night game is underway, and he did not expect that the Reds would still be playing when that game started.

Chris says that the great thing about baseball is that there is no clock.

THom would would be whining and moaning non-stop about how long this is taking, and why the Reds should build a roof.

[BCubb2003]

Maybin, Maybin not.

[757690]

The Reds should have traded Peralta last deadline, when he had some value. Relievers are too erratic to depend on year after year.

[membengal]

Day description of that infield hit:

“They’re not gonna get anyone out”

That is also the motto for the Reds’ season.

[NebraskaRed]

Yadiel Rivera has been on base 3 times tonight.

Everything sucks

[Ironman92]

Just caught back up to live play....

Ridiculous that Hamilton didn’t steal 3rd with 0 outs and again with 1 out. Guerrero long and deliberate to plate. No chance with RH batter

With 2 outs Votto picked him up. If he’s not going to steal there off that guy I’m not sure why he’d ever steal

[NebraskaRed]

Wandy Peralta is late-September tired and it's May 6th

[Ironman92]

If Reds lose they will be tied for worst record with Baltimore.

Orioles must really be having a tough year.

If?

[Kinsm]

Will Peralta finish this inning?

not if he's hurt

[BluegrassRedleg]

I’m really questioning my own sanity for sitting here watching this tonight. It’s beyond comprehension how bad this team is in every aspect of baseball.

Wandy has lost his magic

[Ironman92]

I’m pretty tired and not greatly focused....but I think, I think I just saw Scooter make a straight throw to Joey’s chest.

[Ironman92]

Wandy has lost his magic

Or other teams have figured out his tricks

[NebraskaRed]

Reds just need to score 1 more run than the total amount of runs they scored in the last two games to tie it up in the ninth.

Can they do it?

No.

[ochoa30]

Or other teams have figured out his tricks

They just aren't chasing outside the zone and he's too wild to continue to throw strikes. He sucks but outside of Votto who doesn't on this team?

[Ron Madden]

We need base runners and a bunch of'em this inning

[membengal]

This couple on Lakefront Bargain Hunt really likes the house they are looking at.

[Ron Madden]

We got a break there!

[Tom Servo]

lol it's still so early that Peraza's 0-4 earlier today dropped his .717 OPS down below .700, and now went back to .712 with that double.

[Larry Schuler]

This is it, baby! This is where the Reds season turns around. They come back and win here and they ride it all the way to the postseason. LETS GO REDS!

[Ironman92]

I wonder if Votto is willing to take a walk here?

[Ron Madden]

Votto does what Votto does!

[Kinsm]

Donnie boy has seen enough of this nonsense.

[NebraskaRed]

yeah those 2 runs in the top of the 9th hurt bad right now

[Kinsm]

This couple on Lakefront Bargain Hunt really likes the house they are looking at.

maine cabin masters is a good one too

[membengal]

maine cabin masters is a good one too

It is indeed.

[Ironman92]

Find a way Scooter

[Ron Madden]

This guy throws like Scooter

[Ironman92]

Scooter should be able to hit Ziegler as he throws the same way Scooter does

[Big Klu]

Flipping back and forth between the game and MST3K.

[Ironman92]

This guy throws like Scooter

Beat me to it [emoji23]

[Ironman92]

Don’t pull that crap!

[Ironman92]

A chance!!!!

[BluegrassRedleg]

These two teams should be contracted on the spot.

[Ironman92]

Be patient!

[Ron Madden]

Damn!

[Kinsm]

wooooooooooooooooo!

[Big Klu]

On pace for 38-124.

[Rolando]

Damn!
Schebhler swings at everything

[Larry Schuler]

This team is done. I never saw any spark in them at any point this season and tonight was no exception. They're bound for a wild card berth at best.

[Kinsm]

Reds on pace to win 38.1

[Red Raindog]

Reds on pace to win 38.1

right on pace to tie the modern era's worst winning percantage

[NebraskaRed]

Hard to win when you're down 5-0 by the second inning.

Hard to win when you keep running Scooter out there with his godawful defense.

[RED VAN HOT]

Senzel to 2B is making more sense every day.

This game reminded me of game 162 between teams that had been eliminated by Labor Day.
