No Joey Votto in the #Reds lineup today. He’s dealing with tightness in his hamstring.



With an off day tomorrow, David Bell said he wanted to sit Votto to give him an extra 2 days rest. Expects he will be in lineup Friday. #Reds

Senzel 8
Suarez 5,
Iglesias 6,
Puig 9,
Dietrich 3,
Casali 2,
Winker 7,
Peraza 4,
DeSclafani 1

Reds have scored 5+ runs on double-digit hits in 7 consecutive games, their longest such streak since the first 7 games of the 1976 season.

Two LF today. Extreme shifting?

A 2nd Basemen playing 1st, a SS playing 2nd and a 2nd Baseman playing CF, so it seems normal.

Yeah, that looks bad.

That lineup is scary with Dietrich replacing Votto, but Peraza replaces Dietrich, so it evens out. Now, if Scooter was there...

"Reds have scored 5+ runs on double-digit hits in 7 consecutive games, their longest such streak since the first 7 games of the 1976 season."

Anytime you match a '76 Offensive Stat, that's sayin' something.

Looking at the future radar forecast they could get the game going later in the afternoon. Like around 2 or 3 pm if they are willing to wait around that long. The Pirates do come back to Cincinnati July 29-31. So we will see....

I like that he put 4 righties at the top of the order vs a lefty who gets beat up by righties. Bell is starting to get the hang of this managing thing.

Wonder why Polanco is sitting? Gotta admit, the Pirates have done a nice job getting Reynolds and Cabrera. Those guys are excellent acquisitions.

Good to see DD get the start vs. the LHP. Really wish that had been the case at 2B.

IDK. Maybe there is a nasty patch that will come through shortly, and they want to avoid playing 1 or 2 innings, hour rain delay, then back on. I strongly emphasize my "I don't know" in this instance. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Listening to XM radio during the delay. They are playing radio highlights of the 1970 season. Great to hear a 42 yr old Joe Nuxhall calling games. He really was great to listen to. To hear him yelling at fly balls to get outta here in the background while McIntyre called the game was fun too. Just like he always did with Marty.

I don’t know that it is because that’s the second time I’ve seen a Reds hitter bunt with RISP like that in the last couple weeks. I remember Puig doing it as well, so it seems like it’s a team strategy to whip that out occasionally.

And I hate it.

I probably prefer that he’s swinging away there, but it wasn’t a terrible idea. Took a phenomenal play to retire him.

Another thing to consider is you have a chance for two runs with a “normal” base hit. Playing for one there seems a bit odd.

My thoughts as well. I'd be less upset if it was just a runner on 3rd there. He could have had any type of flair hit which hes shown to be good at and you have 2 runs.

I was aware of that. An acquaintance of mine has used a media pass at Ohio Stadium for Ohio State football games in the past, and he told me that there is a sign in the press box that says, "No Cheering in the Press Box."

I’ve always heard about that sign up there, but I was under the impression it was just sort of an old traditional thing that guys pretty regularly broke more than it was a serious rule.

That really was an incredible play. That's probably a hit 9 out of 10 times. I still hate it considering how dangerous a hitter he can be especially against lefties. Live and learn. I doubt we see that again anytime soon.

I thought the bunt was a good play by Senzel. He was thinking up there, probably the infield was back. Tough pitcher for Reds, close game. Execution wasn’t too good and the pitcher made an excellent play.

I know I posted this already but I posted it before the HR. I thought it was an ideal situation to use Garrett with the LH hitters. I understand Bell's reluctance to do it since not only was there 2 outs but Garrett was the only LH in the bullpen. But this goes back to the argument about using your closer in a situation where it isn't the 9th inning but it's a critical situation earlier in the game. The counterargument is that if the time comes where you will need a closer, then you've already used him. I know Garrett isn't the closer but if you use him then, you can't use him later if you need him. But now it looks like the Reds might not need him at all since they are down 3.

I don't hold Bell personally responsible for this likely loss, but I think it's fair to say he made a mistake. Disco is the weak link and should have a pretty quick hook. Ultimately can't win if you don't score, but Bell put the Pirates in a better position to score by keeping Disco in.

Have you ever noticed some people only post in the game thread when the Reds are losing?

You might want to check out some other message boards because this is what you will see. Kind of goes with the territory.
I generally hold this board to a higher standard, lot of people know perfectly well the season isn't over but act like it is with every L.

Certainly disappointing not to take this series, it was right there for them. And that's a recurring theme so far this season, but they're still in the mix and the sky hasn't totally fallen in 24 hours.

Unfortunately both teams get to hit. The pirates likely would have 1 run today in a regularly size stadium. It does go both ways but it seems like most of the HRs the reds hit would get out just about anywhere. Hate it when the opposing team uses the park better then us.
IMO, it's a joke, either way....the eternal residue of trading for Griffey.

It IS a statistical probability, Ron.

Senzel isnt much for pulling the ball huh? I dont think hes hit a fly ball to left field more then a few times this season. Very different approach then the average kid, that's for sure. I like it but sometimes you gotta hunt a pitch and look to do some damage too.

I like this Bowman character. So far a very welcome addition.

Well, I’d argue a sports forum doesn’t need a “standards police,” provided its basic rules are being followed. And I’m certainly perplexed that you were so triggered by my benign statement. I’m entertained by these guys, I try to watch every game I can, but ultimately, they are getting last-place results. In Year 6. It is what it is.
