I'm shocked that a team with Winker and Votto at the top of the lineup is the worst base running team in baseball.

These temps are just brutal, it sucks that there is finally a lot of excitement and the heat will keep the crowds small. I'd be at both these games except my 7 and 3yr old kids wouldn't last more than half the game. Today should have been a night game.

Disco: “hey lindor, hows it going? Good to see you again. Enjoy this pitch that resembles something one would see pitched to them during the home run derby on Monday. K thx.”

[JaxRed]

I'd probably also have VanMeter at 2b.

[KronoRed]

These hats are awesome.

[ukredsfan]

Off to a good start. I seriously do like that we are all mad at Disco for mediocre pitching when mediocre pitching would've been welcomed not very long ago. He is probably not much worse than #5 starters for other teams. Unfortunately he isn't going against another #5 today.

[RedTeamGo!]

Wow. One of the best catches I’ve seen in awhile.

What a beautiful swing

[membengal]

Ahem, Puig hive, assemble!

[ukredsfan]

I don't mean that we're trying to run him out of town. I was only illustrating how far we've come. When he's slotted in at the bottom of a rotation, I'm content as well.

[membengal]

By the way, Puig going with that outside pitch and driving it ---that's the last piece of his game from past years that we've been waiting on - if that is locking in his OBP will continue to get to where it historically should be. I am so happy.

[SomeCallMeTim]

After our stellar pitching the last 2 games, I’d like to see the O do some big things for a change.

Yikes. Senzel recovers to flag down a long drive.

[Ron Madden]

That’s the way to stick with it Nick, Nice Catch!

[NebraskaRed]

Disco has been pretty sharp since that home run.

[InsaneinthBrame]

The home run was a GABP special.

[Spanky]

Senzel isn't going back to the infield any time soon.

[JaxRed]

Shame that Winker can't lay one down third....

Votto ropes one but right at RF

[ochoa30]

Bieber has had some luck and defense behind him so far. Lots of hard hit balls.

What a play by Iglesias. Defensive clinic today

[Ron Madden]

I he looked out to me

[membengal]

He was absolutely out. Glad they got that right on replay. Shouldn't have needed replay.

[malcontent]

Disco could be special with a decent change. Wonder if he's ever asked Castillo about his.

[membengal]

And now bases loaded - single, walk, single - two outs though.

[JaxRed]

Ok, we need an out very badly.....

[membengal]

Also, Puig's arm in RF is a HUGE asset - teams don't even think about testing it at this point. That is a huge help.

Yeah, I've been pleasantly surprised by the respect shown Puig. And how accurate he is.

[InsaneinthBrame]

What is sad about the Reds offense is that since June 1st they have scored the fewest runs in the majors and that is with a hot Puig and Votto

[BluegrassRedleg]

This dude is straight mashing of late.

[membengal]

Ahem, Puig double (one foot from a HR), Puig hive - re-assemble!

[JaxRed]

Have my doubts about getting him in....

[membengal]

That double from Puig was absolutely killed. Looked like it would put a hole through the top of the fence.

[Bourgeois Zee]

DeSclafani currently ranks 77th out of the top 150 starters in ERA for the season.

He's at a 106 ERA+, which means he's slightly better than league average.

In short, if DeSclafani is your team's worst starter, you have a very good starting staff.

[ukredsfan]

Bingo

[SomeCallMeTim]

Disco does not have a good approach to dealing with Lindor.

Only a LH pitcher might have a better approach. Lindor is friggin great. Disco has been sharp today except for Lindor, and even then Lindor’s HR haven’t been boat shots...

Time was, that would have been the best start in a week.

This season, it nearly gets ignored.

With every start, DeSclafani shows he's a solid contributor and worthy starter.

This gives me some hope for next season.

[Ironman92]

Wonderful defense in this game

The Puig double was Wily Mo like

[Fil3232]

Lorenzen using his changeup ~17% of the time this year per Fangraphs. It’s looked really good the last few appearances, and it makes him a much more dynamic pitcher.

[ochoa30]

Really nice inning there especially the pitch to K Lindor.

Interesting that he's almost entirely excised his slider this season.

Maybe Puig will get us there singlehandedly...

Just got home from a funeral.

My opinion on the 1939 uniforms:
Caps: Not a fan. They look like Indians caps.
Jerseys: OK. Ditch the blue highlights.
Pants: Good.
Socks: OK.

Overall: They look pretty good, but the blue is a deal breaker for me.

[757690]

Puig is a triple shy of the cycle.

Geez, I wish this was VanMeter.... do something Derek

Awful swing by Senzel. If your gonna swing first pitch at least put some effort into it. Obviously bad baserunning by Puig as well. Not good overall.

[JaxRed]

Okay that WAS kind of stupid.....

[North]

Dumb.

[Ironman92]

Be nice if they could hit

[Bourgeois Zee]

Puig is now officially a league average hitter.

But he's gotten there is as odd a way as I can remember.

Frozen to en fuego with nothing in-between.

[RR1971]

Two awful at bats. Dietrich doesn’t need to be in the lineup. I guess Scooter will take care of that after the break.

[Big Klu]

And don't get me started on Nino Bongiovanni! He must have had a daguerreotype of McKechnie's wife or something!

Just don't understand why you pitch to him there. He was 3-3 and you have to play for no runs. Just one run beats you the way the game is going so putting him on is irrelevant. Just don't give him anything to hit.

Perhaps that performance will convince Bell that Dietrich should not be playing.

he probably shouldn't be playing that much it should be nice of scooter could actually play in a game and actually do something.

Don’t hold your breathe.

Whatever. I dont think they should do anything besides selling anyways but they have assets for sure. I get no one wants to hear that but you have to have an eye towards the future. Sure they are in the race but this is not a playoff caliber team IMO and they have a buttload of free agents. They should capitalize on the fact that it is a seller's market and move Roark, Puig, and any other rental with any value at all. They can still resign them in the off season with all the money freeing up if they so choose.

I agree, we need to sell and build for the future. We probably have less than a 5% chance of getting a WC so I wouldn’t trade any controllable assets.

I think the earlier poster mis-identified which team has the scrubs...

Beiber is very good, but this Reds offense looks the same against any pitching, even the guys with 5+ eras.

They’re a lot better team than us.

It really wasn’t a bad game up until the end when things went downhill. All teams have plenty of games like this in a 162 game schedule. The only thing ya can do now is come back tomorrow and try to split the series.

Reds fall to 2-5 in throwback games.

Guess I am glad the direct tv went out after the 6th inning

Werber in front of Frey?

Fer Chrissakes, McCormick's your best hitter, McKechnie! Why are you screwin' him over with Billy Werber?

And don't get me started on Nino Bongiovanni! He must have had a daguerreotype of McKechnie's wife or something!
hey lookie loo...what's the deal with mckechnie? ah, your fathers mustache

no no no...tired of churning the roster. give puig a long term contract, keep our ss, sign a marquis twirler in the off season...you'll have your playoff team

None of what you suggest improves a terrible offense. It maintains the status quo.

[Burt Gummer]

The bullpen needs help and there's no 2b or catcher on the team that can hit,they're better off selling off the rentals that will walk anyway
