[Rolando]

it's time for scooter to step up tonight

Don’t like Senzel getting a day off after having 2 off in the last 10 days and another one Friday. Every game is huge

winker is not a leadoff guy

He has a .373 career OBP. That’ll play at leadoff.

Tonight he is.

I say he Homers.

[GADawg]

I was hesitant to go all in on Senzel and the hype but I’m a believer now and although I don’t know who I’d sit I don’t love any lineup
Without Senzel in it! Also Winker isn’t a leadoff guy in 1979 but he definitely is in 2019

likewise. i'm on the senzel train. he needs to be leadoff. you're right about winker...he would never lead off in 1979. baseball has really changed. unfortunately i havent lol. i still listen to steely dan.

[davereds24]

They are certainly all in on Scooter. Rushing his rehab stint and now starting almost every game. His swing looked bad last night. Hopefully he turns it on before the deadline.

[Alabama]

Bel needs to show he’s more flexible. His stubbornness is part of the reason we got in such a big hole. Puig and Votto weren’t performing at all yet they were always dead smack in the meat of the lineup. It cost us games.
Move Scooter back while he’s getting his timing back, then bump him back up later.

[malcontent]

And hitting him clean-up, no less. Should be dropped a couple spots for now, IMO.

[Jomama]

winker is not a leadoff guy

He's not a centerfielder either, but that doesn't stop Bell.

[elrojo]

It's past time for Scooter to step up. If he's going to bat cleanup, he needs to first prove he's back in his groove.
Otherwise, he hits 7th at best in my lineup.

[Tom Servo]

It's past time for Scooter to step up.
He's played 4 games.

I mean, jeez. I was one of Scooter's biggest skeptics the last two years, and even I'm not going to give him a hard time for not hitting in all of 4 games.

[bigfoot52]

I wonder if Puig has ever played CF.
I don't think Winker has the speed to cover much ground in CF.
Scooter needs to get going. His rehab "grace" period is over.

[woodyjoe]

I'm a big scooter fan and I'm not giving up on him, but I agree that he needs to bat further down in line up. Puig should be batting 4th the way he's hitting. I'd probably make a couple of other changes in line up also.

[woodyjoe]

I wonder if Puig has ever played CF.
I don't think Winker has the speed to cover much ground in CF.

Puig in center would seem to make sense. He has the speed. Maybe Bell knows something we don't or maybe Puig doesn't feel comfortable in cf. Balls come off the bat different.

Winker has nicely improved his jumps, angles and whereabout in the OF....Puig is a top notch RF. Keep him there. He knows how to be aggressive in RF without costing them

[North]

He's played 4 games.

I mean, jeez. I was one of Scooter's biggest skeptics the last two years, and even I'm not going to give him a hard time for not hitting in all of 4 games.

Votto was given 2 months, no?

Votto with a single, but no RBI.

Puig made a total of 67 appearances in CF for the Dodgers:
10 in 2013
53 in 2014
4 in 2016

[kaldaniels]

Scooter doesn’t need to “step up.”

I just think he is back too soon.

[Hillsdale87]

This ump's grasp of the strike zone is terrible. He's called two pitches balls that weren't even borderline

He’s not back too soon, he just needs to adjust to MLB pitching for awhile. He hasn’t faced it in almost a full year.

The whole Scooter thing is pretty funny IMO. Prominent Reds slumped their way through April and May. Reds were patient. Yet after a week there’s now a backlash against playing Gennett.

Short memories.

[Redeye fly]

Without looking at numbers and just "watching" it doesn't necessarily look bad for Casali. He gives decent at bats and he hit that ball well. Just a long out.

He never really got going against MILB pitching, I’d have liked to have seen some life down there.

I’m not impatient with him but it’s obvious he’s a tick behind.

He’ll play to the back of his playing card.

I don’t blame the Reds on this, this time of year, if he’s truly healthy, you want him re-adjusting to big league pitching. In hindsight if they knew he would take awhile to get going, they might have left him down in AAA through the ASB.

My only concern with Gennett is whether he is truly fully recovered. We’ve seen so many guys come back prematurely and that can be a very serious mistake.

I am not sure what is hard aboutr the Reds letting a guys tarting hitting before bringing him back especially when they missed a lot of time. So him struggling is not much of a surprise.

"The Battle for Ohio" fits the occasion much better.

[BluegrassRedleg]

I bet a lot of you are too young to remember Kevin Mitchell as a Red. He's the last Reds player I recall hitting homeruns as frickin' hard as Puig does. His balls are simply creamed.

One of my indelible memories from Riverfront was watching the Reds play the Giants around 1989-90ish. Kevin Mitchell hit 2 HRs in this game, including one against Rob Dibble -- PULLED to left-center, no less -- that never got much higher than 20 feet off the ground. It was an absolute laser. I wish we had the exit velo and launch angle numbers for it back then. It hit the old metal walling well beyond the fences and made this "boom" noise. My friend and I just looked at each other and gave Mitchell an ovation. I never saw anyone else turn on one from Dibble in his prime that hard.

Exactly. The ball just came off his bat...different. When he was raking for the Reds in '94, the balls that he hit would get to the deep green seats or the yellows as fast as you can imagine. And the occasional red seat home run. God could he hit a ball hard.

ETA: He slugged .681 in that strike ruined 1994 season. Friends, I and the others on here who are slightly older than some of you can attest, he was an absolute terror.

[UKWhoDey]

Am I alone in thinking that called 3rd strike on Geno was clearly outside? This home plate ump seems to be hot garbage. First time I've complained about an ump on the board. Its only the 3rd inning and Ive already had several head scratchers from this guy.

[TheBigLebowski]

Scoots probably needed more rehab games. He looks pitiful up there.

[Big Klu]

If he stays a Red thru the deadline, I could see him almost cracking the Top 10

He has an excellent chance of doing that.

What is somewhat interesting about that list is that there is only one left-handed hitter on the entire list. (There are also four switch-hitters.)

[Kc61]

I am not sure what is hard aboutr the Reds letting a guys tarting hitting before bringing him back especially when they missed a lot of time. So him struggling is not much of a surprise.

What’s hard about it is that it’s not the reason for rehab. Teams don’t generally wait for strong minor league numbers to bring a guy up. They use the rehab stint to make sure he’s healthy and get some game action.

Gennett could bat .600 against AAA pitching and it would insure nothing at the big league level.

The only question - and it is a question - is whether he’s truly physically able to play big league ball. I don’t know the answer.

[UKWhoDey]

Sonny Gray is pure filth tonight


This has been a public service announcement.

He needs MLB at bats to get his swing back so he can be traded. If he were under contact I think they would have kept him down longer. There’s just not time for that now.

[Hillsdale87]

This ump's is just closing his eyes and calling balls/strikes. The first 2 to Puig were clearly balls

I agree Derek. That second strike wasn't a strike.

Always one of my favorites (From Reds only) are balls hit hard down the foul line into the corners. That's always seemed like the most exciting hits of a game to me.. To bad Dietrich's was foul..

Kevin Mitchell's three seasons as a Red:

1994: .326/.429/.681/1.110

He usually plays with reckless abandon, frankly, watching on TV, he seems a bit tentative. But that’s on TV, I’m interested in hearing from the club on this.

I generally complain less about ump's since they added the strike zone to the broadcasts because it shows how often they get it right. Most umps are remarkably accurate, maybe missing a few on the margins. The HP ump tonight has been missing pitches 4 inches off the plate and called a pitch that was almost down the middle a ball. I'd guess he's gotten at least 10 pitches wrong tonight

Be ideal to get at least 1 this inning since Mr. Yelich will probably be making a pinch hit appearance tonight.

[Ironman92]

Puig’s swing is so much more compact than just 4-5 weeks ago. That 97 mph up in the zone he smoked last night...he couldn’t catch up with 94 above the middle, now I fear he’s going to kill a pitcher

[Tadasimha]

Thats a good start - push some runs across, Joey Igs

[Tom Servo]

Iglesias delivers! 2-0 Good Guys.

[Ironman92]

Iglesias back on track and just stays close to that .290 mark

[BluegrassRedleg]

Really need some runs right here.

Can't waste a terrific start by Gray tonight.

I always got a tad nervous myself pitching to certain players..

[Kingspoint]

He did have about three months off to heal. But if he’s still uncomfortable he shouldn’t be playing - at any level.

You're never going to be perfect with a groin injury. It's like a hamstring or plantar fasciaitis. It's always susceptible to being aggravated while it takes years to get it back to close to normal. But for first couple of years, you just have to manage it as best you can.

He just got out his Iphone to check did he?

I would let Gray hit now...feel better with him trying to get half of the six outs with a 2-run lead than putting someone else in to pinchhit and to pitch the 8th.

[Ironman92]

I want 6 more runs

[Ron Madden]

The Reds are playing good baseball.
The second half of the season is gonna be interesting. I still have hope they will surprise a lotta people

[RedTeamGo!]

It’s fantastic the reds didn’t trade Scooter last deadline or this offseason. Fannnnnntastic.

[Tom Servo]

Nice bunt, Sonny.

Pedro Strop
Chris Archer
Madison Bumgarner

[757690]

I approve of letting Gray hit. Which is why I am confident that it will backfire.

[JFLegal]

c'mon jesse. paint a picture.

[bigfoot52]

Alright Winker, let's bust it open here.

[Ironman92]

Pedro Strop
Chris Archer
Madison Bumgarner

He’d destroy two of them

[Tom Servo]

You know for all the stuff about "the Reds need to demand the best prospect and walk away if they can't get it" stuff, if they had traded Iglesias and Gennett when they should have they could have gotten something good. Now? Not looking great.

[JFLegal]

jesse flies out. but the real story is thom did not think it was a home run off the bat. you know he was tempted.

[ochoa30]

Man, that was a hanger and Jesse just missed it.

[Rantly]

CY is the all-time leader in losses

Figure of speech

[Big Klu]

They are the ones he has history with.

[onehand]

He must have been watching the monitor...

[RedTeamGo!]

Now they will get absolutely nothing. And I don’t mean that like “a C prospect lottery ticket,” I mean actually nothing. At least for Scooter. Just a wildly inept organization.

[JFLegal]

12 ks ... 5 outs to go for mr. sonny gray.

[Tom Servo]

12!

[Brisco]

Yes, and if we could all only sell exactly when a stock hits it’s peak price,
we would all be millionaires. I am not a millionaire... therefore I must be an idiot.

[Tom Servo]

Thought that was gonna be a GABP cheapie for sure

[membengal]

Puig!!! Defense me!

[Tom Servo]

uh no, Hernandez warming up

[Big Klu]

Puig has zero fear of the wall.

[RedTeamGo!]

Yes, and if we could all only sell exactly when a stock hits it’s peak price,

Yes, because other organizations never trade players when their value is at its peak. Never happens.

[757690]

Now they will get absolutely nothing. And I don’t mean that like “a C prospect lottery ticket,” I mean actually nothing. At least for Scooter. Just a wildly inept organization.

They got one of the best second baseman in the game playing for a full season, in a major turnaround season for the team, plus the ability to trade him at the deadline of that season.

You can’t blame the Reds front office for the fact that Scooter got injured.

[Ironman92]

Thom’s best call of the season

[Tom Servo]

Sonny four pitch walk to Grandal, but he wants the ball so he's staying in

[Ironman92]

They are the ones he has history with.

Lol, I’m aware

[Brisco]

Gray suddenly wild

[757690]

Something you almost never see anymore. A manager asking a pitcher if he should stay in, and trusting him.

[RedTeamGo!]

I said a month before last deadline it was the time to trade Scooter, so I can and will blame them for him still being in the organization.

[membengal]

On record - I agree with leaving him in.

[mamell]

Made the fans in the background all duck at once.. LOL

[757690]

I said a month before last deadline it was the time to trade Scooter, so I can and will blame them for him still being in the organization.

If he had stayed healthy, you would have been wrong.

[Rantly]

Maybe you should apply for the GM job next opening.

[Tom Servo]

Great job Sonny!!!

[JCM11]

A+ start by Sonny.

[Big Klu]

Lol, I’m aware

Yeah, the third one would definitely be a heavyweight championship bout.

[mamell]

He's making this one interesting..no doubt..

[membengal]

That was just old school throwback fun. Crowd noise supporting a pitcher on fire. Love it. I’ve missed this.

[ochoa30]

What a game!! Great job Sonny!

[Tadasimha]

Damn fine pitching, Mr Gray

[Redeye fly]

Love to see him come out for the 9th but I think the smart money is a reliever. He labored on those last two hitters and that curve is starting to lose its bite.

[Coopdaddy67]

Fantastic job by Sonny!

Couldn't have agreed more with Bell's decision to leave him in, even if Cain ended up hitting a 2-run HR. Gray wanted the ball and he delivered.

[bigfoot52]

Who is going to close the 9th?

[mamell]

I really hope Sonny gets the CGSO..

[Ron Madden]

Hat Tip To Sonny Gray!!!
One Helluva Job!!!

[Ironman92]

Welcome to Cincinnati Sonny

[emoji122][emoji122][emoji122]

[RedTeamGo!]

Haha, it’s never going to be open. Because nepotism.

Anyways, yay reds!

[757690]

Millennials watching this game are confused. “The starting pitcher is still pitching and it’s passed the 6rh inning. Is that allowed?”

[mamell]

Heart of the lineup with a 2 run led nd complete game shutout on the line.. It doesn't get much better than that..

[Big Klu]

Votto only able to manage a walk. No RBI.

#notelite

[mamell]

I hope Puig bats in this inning..

[Coopdaddy67]

I hope Puig bats in this inning..

I hope Winker does.

[UPRedsFan]

Is Garrett available? You’ve got Moose and probably Yelich PH and then Thames.

[Big Klu]

Meanwhile, we graybeards are saying, "Yeah, we remember this!"

[bigfoot52]

Garrett is in the dugout. I would say he is unavailable. Looks like it will be Iglasias.

[The Operator]

Really wish I could have seen this start but wow what a stat line.

[JFLegal]

geno suarez can hit a baseball.

[Tom Servo]

Great AB and double for Geno

[BluegrassRedleg]

Got something cookin'

[gagliano]

I hope Winker does.

great that the reds are winning, bur leadoff man winker is 0-4

[membengal]

Really wish I could have seen this start but wow what a stat line.

Think of as good as you can imagine - it was just about that.

[Tadasimha]

Aw, yeah. Pile on a bit, Reds!

[JFLegal]

c'mon senzii

[membengal]

Why does Thom keep pushing the thought that Gray might pitch the ninth? He’s clearly done.

[Tom Servo]

Can Puig come through again

yup, sac fly! 3-0 Redlegs

[North]

Nice sac fly.

[membengal]

That’ll do Puig. That’ll do.

[NebraskaRed]

just tuned in. Wow, Gray had a night, huh?

[Ironman92]

great that the reds are winning, bur leadoff man winker is 0-4

Would mean the Reds would have a minimum of 6 runs tho

[JFLegal]

irrational in-game take: puig alone made 'the trade' worth it.

[Kc61]

If Reds want to put Scooter on the IL following this latest injury, the schedule helps matters. Reds have days off and the ASB such that he could sit out ten days and miss only five games. Maybe that would help matters for him.

[BluegrassRedleg]

Viva Cuba!

[JFLegal]

just tuned in. Wow, Gray had a night, huh?

suck, he did not.

[mamell]

They're livin dangerous walking Dietrich with Iglesias on deck..

[bigfoot52]

Can't believe Counsel didn't intentionally walk Puig.

[Tadasimha]

Make em regret that, Jigs

[mamell]

Saw that ground ball coming as he swung.. Darnit..

[NCReds]

Alright Iglesias, this is what you were born to do.

[mamell]

Can't believe Counsel didn't intentionally walk Puig.

That was a mistake.. and they called Puig stupid? LOL

[bigfoot52]

Throw strikes !

[Tom Servo]

Well Braun deserves it but baserunners are suboptimal

[mamell]

Ohhh boy.. My confidence level just dropped precipitously..

It's getting better..slightly..

[RedTeamGo!]

Weston McKinnie!!

[Tom Servo]

Two down!

[Kc61]

Well Braun deserves it but baserunners are suboptimal

Agree. But must the Reds’ announcers turn every “free pass” into a federal case?

[NebraskaRed]

Nice changeup to K Thames

[North]

Thom seems to be itching for a MIL comeback.

[JCM11]

Good Iglesias is back(for now).

[BluegrassRedleg]

ATOBTTR! :beerme:

[Tom Servo]

We're still good! :beerme:

Fantastic win!

[North]

Bravo!

[Ron Madden]

Reds Win!!!!!

Great Game!

[Playadlc]

Huge win.

[Kingspoint]

Go, Bucs!

[Ironman92]

Another great win!

Very enjoyable watch

[NCReds]

What an outing by sonny tonight. Wow. 4.5 GB guys. 4.5 games. We have LIFE! Let’s win tomorrow!!!!

[Kc61]

2 of 3 against Cubs, 2 of 3 against Brewers with one more tomorrow.

Good homestand so far.

[mamell]

I would have rather seen Sonny get the shutout, but I'll settle for the win 100 times out of 99 times..

[TheBigLebowski]

Big win. Took the series

[ScotlandRed]

Hmmm Yelich didn’t even PH in a close game late on. Wonder if something could also keep him out tomorrow? Good win. Need the series win tomorrow.
