[HammerTime]

I must say I’m shocked Senzel hasn’t had an off day yet. Pleasantly surprised.

[Tony Cloninger]

Lineups becoming more set even in the order of it. And yes Leon is still getting laaaaargggeeerrr.

[Ironman92]

Again, I like this lineup the best

[RiverfrontRed]

I’d be in favor of starting Farmer in place of Votto at 1st.

[GADawg]

I wouldn’t argue with you about that but by the same token I ain’t trying to save you from the posse when it shows either!

I must say I’m shocked Senzel hasn’t had an off day yet. Pleasantly surprised.

I feel the exact same.

I’ll be there somewhere....I’m not getting there until closer to game time. Maybe I’ll run into you.

I’m in 119.

Now for a Reds win.

[Reds Fanatic]

Leadoff walk for Senzel

[Reds Fanatic]

Votto lines a triple to right center!

[kaldaniels]

Farmer would have hit a dinger.

[Reds Fanatic]

That is really nice to see about the best swing We have seen from Votto in quite a while

[Reds Fanatic]

Suarez strikes out swinging

[Red Raindog]

okay -- did anyone have money down on Votto getting a triple tonight?

[Reds Fanatic]

Winker strikes out swinging

[BluegrassRedleg]

We got yer boos right here!!! :beerme:

[adkindo]

Puig goes DEEP!!!

[Reds Fanatic]

Puig crushed that pitch! 3-0 Reds

[kaldaniels]

Dugout loves Puig.

[mhs95_06]

Big 2 out hit to pick up Suarez and Winker!

[Ron Madden]

Puig!!!

[Ironman92]

Puig is the most exciting and likable .630 OPS guy ever

[Reds Fanatic]

Dietrich flies out. 3-0 Reds mid 1st

[kaldaniels]

I thought Puig’s ball was gonna kill the guy running up the steps for it.

[Ironman92]

I thought Puig’s ball was gonna kill the guy running up the steps for it.

Same guy was booing him 6 seconds prior

[Reds Fanatic]

Longoria homers to center. 3-1 Reds

[kaldaniels]

Too high.

[BluegrassRedleg]

Classic FSO moment. Every time they get swaggy thinking the Reds are the shiz, BOOM, opponent drops the hammer.

Just call the game and quit acting like Disco is peak Roger Clemens. They do this all they time, and the reality check hammer just crushes them.

[GADawg]

thats alright i don't think they can hit enough solo homers to beat "us"....no walks Disco!

[BluegrassRedleg]

E-BB

Rope City since declaring Disco Cy Young.

[Reds Fanatic]

This will b like every Reds game I’ve seen in the last three years

Jump out to big lead in the first, don’t score another run.

Lose by one run in the ninth.

It feels like they're on a script vs. Giants. :p

C'mon, Reds. Keep hitting.

i did not even realize that Samardzija was the receiver at Notre Dame...I recall when he was receiver, the story about him going to play baseball..but that was a while ago

You act like Jim Day and Chris Welsh actually caused the HR. I know it seems that way, but that would be superstition, which runs contrary to the christian ethic and rational thought.

[Ron Madden]

Reds 3
Giants 1

Middle of the 2nd

[Ironman92]

Votto confidently goes north of the strike zone....probably a wall scraper in GABP

Geno is Smooth

...although Barnhart leading off the innignisnt much better

[Tadasimha]

The more they all hit, the better. Runs will happen but I want to see them getting hits regularly inning after inning

[The Operator]

Tyler Glasgow missing 4-6 weeks with forearm tightness... that sounds bad.


I've really been rooting for him because I can't stand Archer and I want the Pirates to look foolish over that trade. Plus I've always pulled for the Rays since 2008.

[Big Klu]

did y'all see MadBum's no trade list? interesting strategy

I didn't see it. What was it?

[Ron Madden]

Nobody ever comments on the shift when it works

[GADawg]

Dietrich is no Robbie Alomar out there but he aint bad either...better than i expected

[Big Klu]

i did not even realize that Samardzija was the receiver at Notre Dame...I recall when he was receiver, the story about him going to play baseball..but that was a while ago

He was pretty good. Two-time All-American WR, and was projected as a possible 1st-round draft pick in the NFL.

[GADawg]

I didn't see it. What was it?

he went with all the big spending contenders...Yanks, Sox, Dodgers, Cardinals, Phillies, Braves, Brewers, i can't remember but you get the gist.....i guess he's going the leverage route....it'd be funny if they shipped him to Minnesota

[Reds Fanatic]

Nice running catch by Puig

[Ironman92]

Nice play by Puig

Jay Bruce agrees

Tyler Glasgow missing 4-6 weeks with forearm tightness... that sounds bad.

I was watching the Rays game yesterday, seemed like he was sailing along really well when all of a sudden he waved to the dugout for his manager and the trainer to come out to the mound.

I’m glad it’s just forearm tightness, was worried it might be more serious

[Ironman92]

Dietrich is no Robbie Alomar out there but he aint bad either...better than i expected

He’s quite mechanical out there

[kaldaniels]

I’d make fun of that lame Tom Gill commercial but after yesterday’s Elk and Elk remark I’m worried I’d offend his nephew or something.

No good ever seems to come out of a forearm strain.

[BUTLER REDSFAN]

I much prefer Jim Day over Thom B but the home run call of That bad boy is gone is a little old already.

Minnesota is playing really well right now - he'd love to be dropped right into a front-runner for a pennant not one of the ones he's listed

It's a bold strategy, Cotton.

[GADawg]

i'm glad you mentioned Tom Gill....I wonder if he ever got his baby girl "Arizona" back? He looks just like that dude

[BUTLER REDSFAN]

I may be in the minority but I think senzel looks a little like the young elvis.

[Ron Madden]

The Reds haven’t played many games this season where it was too warm for them to wear hoodies on the bench.

Good decoy by Senzel

[mgbrown66]

DeSclafani getting hit hard!

Didn't he used to be a groundball pitcher when he first joined the Reds?

Would not surprise me at all if the "word is out" among umpires to give him a super big zone after his ejection in New York. I wouldn't put it past any of them.

C’mon guys. Too easy.

[HammerTime]

That was excellent defensive placement. Thought for sure that was gonna be a hit. I wonder what the hit expectancy (or whatever they call it) was on it.

[Tadasimha]

In their Gameday headshots, Gott, Dietrich and Iglesias look like three of the happiest dudes in the world.

I don't even really like soccer but I enjoy watching Carli Lloyd

I still love his as a CF though.

First mistake from Senzel. Shake it off kid. I was literally just reading about how good he’s been.

In eight starts and 76 innings entering the night vs. the Giants, Senzel has caught all 13 of his chances. It’s been a small sample size for sure, but it’s clear the 23-year-old is making the plays he should be making.

With an above-average 28.2 feet-per-second average sprint speed, according to Statcast, Senzel is 2-for-2 on 3-star play opportunities (51-75 percent catch probability) and 2-for-2 on 2-star play opportunities (76-90 percent).

Overall, Senzel has added eight points to his expected catch percentage (85 percent), which means he’s gotten to more balls than originally projected.

Lol Spectrum is shooting original TV shows now?

Maybe I'm wrong but I can't imagine it being any good, especially if it's as good as their customer service.

[757690]

You can’t be serious

100% sarcastic. I forgot the emoji.

[mamell]

To be fair to Welsh it wasn't the best technique. Senzel's been playing ball long enough to know better. Probably won't make many more errors like it..

[HammerTime]

David "Hot Knife Through Butter" Hernandez

I’m sure you have to buy a package but what do you think a 30 sec ad during a game goes for on FSOhio?

I mean that 129.99 150th Anniverserary bat. I’d be suprised if they sold one a night...

[RedForLife]

Votto hit in a run and scored another...literally the difference between winning and losing in a one run game.

Votto is avoiding an out 1/3 of the time (.329 OBP) ... he is not going anywhere.

I’m turning over a new leaf. Plus I’m usually pretty fun to have around when things are going well lol.
Not to mention, Senzel brings me an abundance of joy.

He simply is no longer contributing to team victories. He doesn't matter anymore.

Aside from that being your opinion there is zero point zero chance he is replaced in the lineup right now.

It's like everyone just forgets how bad he struggled the first 1-2 months of the season in 2016 and 2017 before catching on fire and murdering the baseball for four straight months and pushing his name into MVP talks. Both years.


Yes he looks bad right now but he did then too. If there's anyone I trust to work his tail off until he figures it out, it's Joey Votto. He may be starting to enter his decline years, but he's way better than this.
