Peraza SS
Barnhart C
Castillo SP

Castillo (0-1, 1.42 ERA) Vs Urena (0-2, 10.38 ERA)

[Cherokee]

Great to see Dietrich in the lineup but shouldn't he bat before Kemp? Against a righthander, especially?

On second thought, why is Kemp in the lineup yet again against the RH?

[Wonderful Monds]

That lineup will change given that Puig is suspended tonight

[Rolando]

That lineup will change given that Puig is suspended tonight

I'm almost positive he'll appeal.

[Tom Servo]

I'm almost positive he'll appeal.
Nope, Bobby Nightengale says Puig isn't appealing and will begin serving it tonight.

[wvreds]

Glad to see Dietz in there today, I still don't understand Kemp over Winker. (I assume Winker will be added due to the Puig issue)

[wvreds]

Nope, Bobby Nightengale says Puig isn't appealing and will begin serving it tonight.

Smart, rather lose him for 2/3 against MIA than the two against the Cards.

[Rolando]

Nope, Bobby Nightengale says Puig isn't appealing and will begin serving it tonight.

Well i keep my streak alive of never being right. I think I should predict the Marlins win tonight:-)

[Kc61]

Have to hope that Reds win this one without too much agony. Facing Marlins at home with a 10.38 ERA starter. I mean Urena may be a good pitcher but he's not exactly on a hot streak.

[CaiGuy]

I'd like to see them send a pitcher down and bring up a position player.

[wvreds]

Updated lineup:

14758

[Kirito-Sama]

Gotta love the guy who shouldn't even be on the roster hitting third.

[UKWhoDey]

Im hyped. Lets get this thing on track! Driving up tomorrow for my first game of the season. Lets get the W tonight. Castillo has been dealin

[Alabama]

Got to have this one tonight. No excuses. Let’s get this thing back on track

[JFLegal]

looks like a winner. get this done, reds.

[RiverfrontRed]

Gonna be a sweep of the Marlins -- 3-0

[Kc61]

looks like a winner. get this done, reds.

Pitching, yes. Offense, absolutely. Defense, no comment.

Would be interested to know how many 1-8 or worse teams finished .500 or better. Or what percentage of such teams finished .500 or better.

[ScotlandRed]

I’d really like to see Winker hitting lower down the order. Struggled last year leading off and struggling this year leading off. He had a lot of success when he first came up and last year when hitting further down the order. Guess that makes too much sense though.

One issue is Reds don’t really have a lead off hitter other than Winker. Schebler did pretty well there last season, I’d use him, but he certainly isn’t a prototype lead off man. Peraza is too much of a free swinger..

[Cherokee]

Ugh...crowd looks pathetic

[NebraskaRed]

quick, sharp inning from Castillo

Gamecast just spit out a 98.4 for Luis? Very nice

[Cherokee]

Castillo is really special when he is on...3 up, 3 down with 2 Ks in the top of the 1st.

Winker going after the 1st pitch, yet again.

[NebraskaRed]

Winker really needs to stop swinging at the first pitch

- - - Updated - - -

and then Votto swings at the first pitch and gets a double

[Joeyjection19]

I don't think I'll ever say it enough: I <3 Joey Votto.

[Cherokee]

Again I ask...why is Kemp in this lineup?

[NebraskaRed]

look at the pitch that Kemp didn't swing at that was inexplicably called for a ball

then look at the pitch he did swing at for strike 3

and laugh and cry and laugh and cry

[Joeyjection19]

It's incredibly frustrating when the TV announcing crew "knows" an umpire by his biases towards the strike zone. That should be an indictment of the current system.

[Tom Servo]

not ideal there but I'll take the run

[Rantly]

Again I ask...why is Kemp in this lineup?

A LOT of early season hate for Kemp this year.

Suarez brain farts into an out but drives Votto in with line shot that about beheaded the pitcher

Diet Rich was trying his hardest to put that ball in the Ohio River.

Diet Rich was trying his hardest to put that ball in the Ohio River.

If he gets one into the Ohio River and McCovey Cove this year, that has to warrant some sort of Aquaman-like nickname, right?

[Kc61]

A few of the Reds’ hitters showing more patience today.

[NebraskaRed]

maybe one day Castillo will hit a grand slam, but not today

[HammerTime]

Tough luck AGAIN for Winker.

[Wonderful Monds]

I hate this team.

[Kinsm]

Reds Twitter:

What does that mean? Successful? He didn't die on the operating table? His arm didn't fall off?

Come on #Reds

[Joeyjection19]

Disappointing to not get any runs, but that was a good AB for Winker. Urena's pitch count is at 37 through 2 after Jesse saw 8.

[NebraskaRed]

I hate this team.

Wow

[Kinsm]

If the Reds are a ~.500 team then they should have no problem with this Marlins club.

[Rolando]

It would be nice is Winker could start hitting.

[Tony Cloninger]

Disappointing to not get any runs, but that was a good AB for Winker. Urena's pitch count is at 37 through 2 after Jesse saw 8.

At this point I would prefer run production over working counts and looking good making outs.

[NebraskaRed]

those Marlins jerseys are really cheap looking

[Rolando]

At this point I would prefer run production over working counts and looking good making outs.

me too at some point you got to start scoring runs and winning games

No you don't.

[Kc61]

At this point I would prefer run production over working counts and looking good making outs.

Still Winker has 28 PAs and 1 walk. Not his usual thing. If he works the count it’s a step toward breaking out of the slump.

[HammerTime]

Man Castillo looks really good.

[NebraskaRed]

5 Ks thru 3 innings.

That'll put you on the fast track to free pizza.

[Joeyjection19]

At this point I would prefer run production over working counts and looking good making outs.

If the offense is junk, it's better to wear the pitching out on the other side than to just hack away.

[Tom Servo]

I think they're gonna get to Urena

[Rolando]

No you don't.

With Love,

2015-2018 Reds

Well I was hoping for a different outcome this year lol

[Joeyjection19]

It's so easy to be a Puig fan. Suspended for the game today? I'd better go hang out with kids at an elementary school.

[NebraskaRed]

Kemp with a single.

[The Operator]

Following from work. Castillo's line looks great so far. How is his velo?

[NebraskaRed]

I'm actually surprised that Kemp made it easily to third on that.

[Joeyjection19]

Suarez has 2 TOOTBLANs today.

[NebraskaRed]

Suarez did not make it safely to third

[Tom Servo]

ughhhh Geno come on

2-0 Reds though

[Wonderful Monds]

First to third baserunning comes back to bite them. But at least they’re batting around on Urena.

[Red Raindog]

Suarez thrown out on the bases again
At least he’s swinging the bat

C’mon, Suarez, don’t give them outs.

[Playadlc]

Not a great decision, but I do like the 1st-3rd aggressiveness.

[Kirito-Sama]

Lookin good so far tonight.

Let's sweep this series and get back in this thing.

[Rolando]

I love Geno but come on Man

[Wonderful Monds]

I have no idea by the way why so many Redszoners were briefly obsessed with trading some of our valuable prospects for Urena, this guy sucks.

[Kc61]

Lookin good so far tonight.

Let's sweep this series and get back in this thing.

I’d suggest Reds take one game at a time.

[Wonderful Monds]

Worst time to get thrown out on the basepaths, should be bases loaded here.

[NebraskaRed]

I'm happy the Reds are up 2-0, but they should really be up more than that

[TheBigLebowski]

This is progress but we still shoot ourselves in the feet too often. Was Suarez waved or did he go full TOOTBLAN on his own?

[Wonderful Monds]

I don’t think Thom knows what the words “straight up in the air” mean

[InsaneinthBrame]

hey base running and defense do not matter. The Reds

[Wonderful Monds]

I think the Reds baserunning has been pretty good this year despite the end of last inning, they’ve been going first to third and taking extra bases a whole bunch.

[Joeyjection19]

Thom Brennaman has been to a hotel where Curtis Granderson stayed. This is important, breaking news that I wanted to make sure everyone here could learn in case you are listening on the radio or have the TV muted.

[M2]

What's the MLB record for most times being thrown out on the bases in one game? Geno's got to have a shot at it tonight.

[Larkin Fan]

What is this i see? The Reds have two runs?????

Thank god for Jose Urena man, they needed a game against a guy like this to get going.

[Kc61]

Castillo might want to watch a video on bunting.

Castillo is as sharp on the mound as he was as bad at trying to bunt there

[Wonderful Monds]

Winker has such a good eye

Winker was the only person in the stadium that thought that was gone for about 4 seconds.

[Wonderful Monds]

The marlins suck so bad lol

[HammerTime]

There we go. It was only a matter of time.

[ScotlandRed]

Happy for Jesse. He hasn't been great this year but he's also hit into a lot of back luck. Hopefully he can get going.

[JFLegal]

it's a home run. no need for replay.

[NebraskaRed]

No fan interference there

[Tony Cloninger]

See that’s what you get for taking so many pitches and making outs.

[Wonderful Monds]

Let’s have guys get suspended more often

[JFLegal]

The marlins suck so bad lol

when i saw 'we' were playing them, i was like, this is perfect for a 1-8 team to break out of their slump.

thanks, jeets.

[Kc61]

Poor Mattingly, wow, Marlins are brutal.

[Wonderful Monds]

Seriously though that wouldn’t have happened if Puig hadn’t gotten his suspension ruling today

[Rolando]

That a boy Jesse hopefully that starts a hot streak.

[Kc61]

Winker laughing in the dugout. GABP giveth.

[Wonderful Monds]

Nah BS call

[Tom Servo]

ump sucks

[Kirito-Sama]

Start Jesse Winker over Matt Kemp every single day.

[Saven]

Safe to say that the ump is not a fan favorite at all, especially with the in-depth analysis of his past history on-air lol

[Kirito-Sama]

Surprised Kemp didn't swing at that pitch 2 feet in front of home plate.

as an aside, phil ervin is now batting .136 at louisville.

"Straight up in the air" at an angle that produced about 200' of horizontal movement - that's not illogical, right?

[NebraskaRed]

honestly, there are more people there than I thought there'd be

[Joeyjection19]

Peraza has had a plus day at short so far. Covered for DD on the pick off and that double play, covered for Suarez on the weird bounce (even though he couldn't get the out), and has shown an accurate arm. He may still have range and arm strength issues, but this is at least acceptable play.

[NebraskaRed]

Castillo with an ERA under 1, if that sort of thing does it for you

[Wonderful Monds]

Damn I didn’t realize just how good Castillo has been this year.

[Kc61]

That four man outfield configuration, with the third baseman playing near second base, is wild.

Whole left side of the infield wide open.

LOL, the batter struck out.

[membengal]

He'll stare and watch the ball leave the park.

How can Castillo be tired? Lack of focus which is a Reds pitcher DNA component

Because I'm paranoid: has anyone seen Votto in the dugout since he was pulled? I'm always a tad nervous when someone gets pulled after a HBP, even if they run the bases afterwards.

Jose Urena isn’t great, but the Reds have struggled against far worse pitchers than him in the last week and a half. Jordan Lyles immediately comes to mind.
