Yeah, I like it. Too bad he had to offset by starting Peraza, especially a position he's pretty much proven he can't play. Given the choice, I'd have started Puig and stuck VanMeter at SS.

Peraza has shown he can play short stop well. He is not great there but he is above average. Jeesh the expectations.

After you mentioned this, I was surprised to see VanMeter has played the position, and on a semi-regular basis.

I don't know what's running through Peraza's head these days, but that look he gave Dietrich after Peraza muffed the throw into 2B (after he had already thrown the DP ball past Votto) was telling.

Great Puig haircut, though.

You aren't watching the same guy I am. He's below average at best. I think he's unacceptable defensively other than on a spot basis. I guess that's what today is, but I'd rather have Puig's bat and defense in RF and than Peraza at SS.

I pronounce it that way sometimes, too. (For some reason, it seems more natural to me.)

Tanner Roark’s success this year is built on a low HR allowance rate.

He’s giving up a lot of line drives, his WHIP of 1.40 is at the top of acceptable range for starters.

He’s a veteran and crafty, does well with men on base. Knows what he’s doing out there.

But don’t be surprised if there is some regression in his ERA.

Yes exactly like everyone's high expectations of Senzel as a rookie.

And IMO Senzel is/was not ready especially on defense which his -4 drs, also his negative baserunning, plus needs improvement vs RH pitching and strikeouts too much which IMO all should have been corrected in the minors.

It is a lost season so him learning in the majors no longer bothers me.

He was also a huge upgrade compared to anyone else they had. Better on offense and better on defense. I don't get the objection to Senzel. He's the best thing that has happened this year besides maybe the absence of Bailey and Finnegan in the rotation.

Got your wish with the Reds taking the lead on a double play. However, they fell into a deficit in the bottom of the 1st, even though Senzel made a great play to get the lead-off hitter as Roark was afraid to make the hitters put the ball in play so the defenders had a chance to help him. He walked a righty batter with two out, his 2nd walk of the inning, bringing up red hot Jay Bruce and was lucky to get a bad call strike and a check swing strike for 0-2, but still couldn't get him out as he got the two RBIs with 2 out.

I wonder what David Bell's vision of what the Reds should look like is, specifically on offense, and if the front office plans to work with him towards creating it given the impending free agency of several players. We know his general philosophy on the starters and the bullpen but if he has one on hitting we haven't seen it yet because most of these guys can't get hits.

Mostly I find myself thinking about how much better they might look with Realmuto, the one who got away...

So in positions where Reds don’t have a “star” type player, I’d expect to see more platoons in the future.

Not an accident that Reds had Realmuto discussions, he would have made a difference.

Reds just need more consistent hitters. If a Puig or a Peraza gets hot now, it doesn’t do much for me. If you’re going to flunk April and May (more than once) you’ve held the team back.

I think Winker’s had a sophomore slump, teams have adjusted, he needs to re-adjust. Votto is showing age.

Beyond that, Suarez and Scooter have been solid consistent hitters last two seasons. Reds need more. Senzel should be. Reds still need more.

Barnhart is fricking garbage. His butt needs to be sent down yesterday.

I was just going to say that Barnhart is not the guy I would want at the plate in that situation.

David Bell is just a dumbass. for a guy who likes analytics he showed I'll make a lot of smart decisions why in the world would you ever want Barnhart bat in that situation

Reds within 3 outs from going to 7 games under .500. The season is sliding away very quickly.

Casali may not be Realmuto (though he's only 7 OPS points behind him at the moment), but he's a damned sight better hitter than Barnhart.

Starting the latter most games is on Bell, no one else.

Everybody said they were gonna be good offensively this season. Maybe that asssumption was based on a track record of playing from behind so much the last couple years that pitchers were just throwing strikes to get those games over with. Maybe that's also why they're losing so many close games--cause they ain't so far behind this year.

I ain't not sabermatrician, so I can't prove that theory. But it's a theory.

This offense is an embarrassment I really thought the Reds would be competitive this year boy was I wrong.

Marty says the Reds are near the league lead in losses of 2 runs or less. Sounds pretty competitive to me, just not getting over the hump too many times!

What does that have to do with being competitive is the major leagues this is not Little League either you win the game when you lose the game

Competitive to me means being in most of the games. Like Mahle is 2-6, but very competitive.

unfortunately I don't think this team really ever had a chance to be good they just didn't an enough pieces of the offseason to make it good

UGLY seems to be a consistent synonym for the REDS' games.

Officially on the fire Turner Ward train. This isnt acceptable this far into the season. Even his protege Puig has been awful. 0 walks again today.

That's the problem with a 1-8 start, you literally can't afford any more rough patches after that.


It's getting a little old watching pitchers with awful numbers have their best game of the season against this offense.

I agree and I wish would would take David Bell with him

I'm just worried about it becoming not-watchable. I'll probably still put it on the channel, but it's on the cusp of being merely background noise.

Yet again.

Fortunately we head into the heart of Summertime with a million better things to do.

I want him gone just so Senzel and Winker don't do anything he might suggest.

It’s probably a little late on that for Winker, combined with his inability to lay off changeups

This is exactly my thoughts. This is just a terrible offense so far overall. I know it isnt all on Ward but some heads have got to roll.

I come to bask in misery of reds game and you have to pour it on. I had 7 10 4 1 in a part wheel that cost me 70 bucks.

Reds have a better run differential that 3 of the 5 teams that are in current play-off position in the NL. That wreaks of being competitive to me also. Only Arizona, LA, and the Cubs have a more plus differential than the Reds!
