I like this lineup, but Senzel may need to take Suarez's place for a few days.

Suarez is struggling.

[Ironman92]

Let’s keep it going!

[Maldez]

The game is on ESPN+

[bigfoot52]

Not to question Bell after sweeping the Astros, but why Winker in the lead off over Senzel?

No better way to get going than to face a Starting Pitcher with an ERA in the four digits.

[bigfoot52]

Winker vs. RHP: .265/.342/.519

Senzel vs. RHP: .223/.298/.393

OK. But better hitter might be put in an RBI spot in the lineup.
And usually you might like to have a guy with some speed/base stealing threat in lead off.

Immature yet juvenile commentary

[NebraskaRed]

no Thom? What exactly is his schedule? He seems to be calling fewer games lately.

Maybe that's just what I want to believe.

Nelson is just a little step down from the pitching the Reds have faced this week.

Offense is gonna have to crank it up this series. The Brewers’ offense, by contrast with the Astros’, isn’t in a slump.

Senzel with a "gentleman's grand slam" aka a walk with the bases loaded.

RBI BB for Senzel

Nobody be in a hurry to swing!

Can someone translate that to Spanish?

Puig looked bad there

Puig and Philips = 2 of the hardest Reds to walk in recent history

[mhs95_06]

Puig and Philips = 2 of the hardest Reds to walk in recent history

Peraza has to be also.

[Falls City Beer]

3 runs won’t cut it. Let’s hope they don’t take a 6 inning dirt nap on offense, like they enjoy doing.

[mamell]

Puig and Philips = 2 of the hardest Reds to walk in recent history

Add peraza as well, but at least Phillips could play 2nd base like nobody's business and Puig is no slouch out in right..

[NCReds]

Great way to open up the game. The challenge for the redlegs will be efficient offense in the 2nd-9th inning.

[mhs95_06]

Even though Winker did not make the first or third, or even the 2nd out at 3rd, it was still very bad judgement to try for 3rd!

[NebraskaRed]

well, that was anticlimactic

[GAC]

Wasted effort by Winker as both Votto and Suarez K

[mamell]

Darn...wasted Jesse's immaculate slide

[ochoa30]

Nelson's got nothing. They swung through some pretty terrible breaking balls there.

[mhs95_06]

Even though Winker did not make the first or third, or even the 2nd out at 3rd, it was still very bad judgement to try for 3rd!

And justice prevails as Votto and Suarez K!

[UKWhoDey]

Seeing Jesse's hustle go to waste really ticks me off. Suarez is definitely struggling. He needs a day off.

[mamell]

Throw strikes Mr Roark..


There ye go..

[NebraskaRed]

Votto looked like he was arguing with someone (not the ump) during his AB. Maybe rattled him.

[GAC]

Not really. The play of the left fielder is what made it. A one motion scoop and throw.

He should have never taken that steal. That was stupid, and that's also on the first base coach

Terrible strike 3..Way too high, but my opinion is like my estimated net worth in the 10s of cents..

[ochoa30]

If Nelson was pitching in the AL the opposing team would have 10 runs by now. Reds really letting him off the hook so far as well which doesnt help.

[Kc61]

Reds should have two more runs. Couple of fly balls would have done it. Hope it doesn’t come back to haunt.

This offense sees an opposing pitcher’s ERA in double digits and dreams of cutting it in half. They’ve been that way for years. Beating the Coles and Verlanders yet reviving the careers of the Nelsons.

[HammerTime]

Winker has a higher OPS than Suarez now.

[GAC]

Roarke dealing!

[Ron Madden]

It’s still the 3rd inning and they’re winning 3-0 plenty of time to add on relax and try to enjoy the game instead of living and dying with every pitch

Yes.

As is obvious, one great situation in baseball is when you can score on an out.

Reds had two such opportunities and didn’t cash in.

Makes the game tougher to win.

I really like Roark. He has almost an Arroyo feel for pitching but with better velocity.

Pitching to him is absolutely the right decision. If he hits it to the moon, you still have a one-run lead.

Note to self.. Forget applying for Reds manager position..

Nice job Tanner, he’s a bulldog!

Why I want him on my team next year

[Ironman92]

How many times this year has a runner came to a complete halt at a base when we figured a runner would be going to the next base? Puig seems like he does it almost once a game. He has the most intimidating effect on baserunners that I think I’ve ever seen. He busts it every single opportunity to get to a ball and give himself a shot to throw someone out.

I love watching him in RF as much as any RF I can ever remember. Vlad was fun but Puig better. Ichiro

I wish he hit better but I love him being on the Reds.

[NCReds]

That was clutch.

Love Roark's courage.

Would anyone pull him now?

No. Only 84 pitches through 5 while only allowing 3 hits so far

Okay I've gotta know.

Was driving home from work when I heard the radio guys describe a 2-0 pitch to Iglesias that was basically in the dirt and got called a strike by the home plate ump.

Was it really that bad? It wouldn't surprise me if it was with the way umpires are these days.
