[North]

I see that the Ouija board has moved Freddy up to 5th today. :p

[UPRedsFan]

It's the rhp vs. lhp matchup. Freddy is better against rhp

[GADawg]

I’d like to see Senzel in the same spot in the order everyday....as a matter of fact I’d like to see more of a regular order all together

[woodyjoe]

I'd like to see Votto moved down. He is no longer a top to middle of order hitter. There are 3 players batting lower in todays line up that would be better options in the 2 hole.

[woodyjoe]

Bell has a player batting .297 in the eight hole. I'm not following that logic.

[Ironman92]

Bell has a player batting .297 in the eight hole. I'm not following that logic.

Easy...he batted 6th last night but struggled only getting 2 hits and a walk

So he must bat 8th

[Jomama]

Another game like that and he'll be hitting 9th.

[woodyjoe]

Other than Votto, Iglesias and Barnharts places in the batting order everything looks great!

[woodyjoe]

I don't have a crystal ball and I"m probably wrong as much as I am right, I think this is our 2020 lineup. Unless they don't bring Iglesias back, then it'll be JVM to 2nd and Winker and Ervin in lf.

[Jomama]

Hopefully we get good Disco tonight.

[mhs95_06]

Seven of the 12 position players for the Rays have faced Disco previously, and their averages all range between Castro's .313 and the .667 of Dean and Prado. In terms of numbers of ABs, Castro has the most at 16, Granderson 12 with .333, and Walker with 11 at .364. Could be some tough sledding for the Reds pitcher.

[Ron Madden]

Votto with a good AB.

[Ron Madden]

Geno single to RF.

[Big Klu]

How can there be only 2000 people at the game? Don't they know that there's a roof, so the game will still be played?

[The Operator]

Aquino!!!!!


3-0 Reds!

[Tom Servo]

The Punisher!!! :jump:

[Ron Madden]

Aquino 3 run Bomb!!!

[Tracy Jones]

So I guess Aquino is good again?

[JaxRed]

Since I'm in Florida, I'm forced to watch Marlins announcers. They were commenting that although Votto has come off the DL, watching him in BP made it seem like he's not really healthy.

[Tracy Jones]

Lol that thing was absolutely mashed

[Big Klu]

Aquino is now 204th on the Reds' all-time home run list -- tied with eight other players:

Eric Anthony
Miguel Cairo
Ike Caveney
Tommy Corcoran
Tracy Jones
Joe Nuxhall
Joe Randa
Bob Usher

I was better than all those guys. Pete held me back.

[mhs95_06]

If this years pattern is followed, the Reds lead will be gone by the 4th.

[The Operator]

I always thought you were basically a more talented Pete Rose...

[Ron Madden]

If this years pattern is followed, the Reds lead will be gone by the 4th.

How many times has that happened exactly?

[Wonderful Monds]

Welsh talking metacarpals and whatnot

[Tracy Jones]

I always thought you were basically a more talented Pete Rose...

I was a much better fighter too. Ask BJ Surhoff

[mhs95_06]

Just off the seat of my pants from following the games, I'd say about ten times the Reds have had a crooked number lead after scoring in the first and it was tied or worse by the 7th inning.

[Big Klu]

Aquino has tied Miguel Cairo for 25th place among Hispanic players on the Reds' all-time home run list.

2. Eugenio Suarez (Venezuela) - 131
3. Dave Concepcion (Venezuela) - 101

Aquino has made the Reds must see TV for me, even in the doldrums of another season going nowhere. Exciting dude.

He's certainly been a breath of fresh air.


Him being the real deal would be such a huge shot in the arm to this franchise. Van Meter, also, to a lesser degree.

Yeah. He’s got star quality too. The cool batting stance. The mammoth bombs. The arm. Of course we won’t really know anything until next year, but if he is indeed the real deal, the Reds hit the jackpot in spite of themselves. Doesn’t matter. Better to be lucky than good sometimes.

[ZakkW]

^Frankie Diamonds agrees

[Kingspoint]

Thought he was due.

[mhs95_06]

Disco thru 2 on 36 pitches with 2 zeroes. On pace for 5 innings and 90 pitches if he doesn't get in any real trouble, say more than one base-runner in an inning.

[Kingspoint]

Looking forward to my two games in Seattle. We'll be right behind homeplate for Wednesday.

[Ron Madden]

Double for Aquino!

[Tracy Jones]

Looking forward to m two games in Seattle. We'll be right behind homeplate for Wednesday.

Cool. Enjoy! I’m gonna get to GABP again in September. Haven’t been since Aquino was called up. He’s worth admission price.

Just saw that Aquino is the first Red with 13 homers in a calendar month since Greg Vaughn in 99

[RedForLife]

If what Aquino's doing now translates to similar performance for the next several years he is going to be some fun to watch. Go Reds!

[Roy Tucker]

It’s about time the Reds got lucky with somebody. It will be interesting to see how he does as the league figures him out and the cat and mouse game begins. It’s been since when Adam Dunn came up have I been this enthused about a Red hitter.

[mhs95_06]

Disco does what he should in the 3rd with the 8,9 hitters getting them out and then the lead-off, only 14 pitches in the 3rd.

[Ron Madden]

RBI double Tucker!

[Tadasimha]

Tuck em up, Barnhart!

[Roy Tucker]

I wish Thom got a little more excited when the Reds do something good.

[JCM11]

Nice two out rbi for Tucker. Iglesias may be the worst base runner on a team full of bad base runners.

[Tracy Jones]

Aquino has a different energy to me. I know Dunn was a good athlete, but he always kinda looked like an oaf out there. Aquino is smooth. Plays faster, if that makes any sense.

That said, if Aquino turns out to be Adam Dunn, color me ecstatic.

[Roy Tucker]

TOOTBLAN

[Ironman92]

With 2 out and pitcher up next was he trying to get runner at 3rd in? Since he was going back to 1st I’ll say no but would’ve liked to have seen it tried with pitcher next

No disagreement from me. Dunn was a lot slimmer as a rookie before he got to be NFL defensive end sized. But he was always donkey-esque.

[SomeCallMeTim]

Just off the seat of my pants from following the games, I'd say about ten times the Reds have had a crooked number lead after scoring in the first and it was tied or worse by the 7th inning.

I would say it is more likely 7th thru 9th if you at Rasiel’s losses and Hernandez and Peralta...

[adkindo]

50 of them?

[Ironman92]

50 of them?

Lol stop listening

[Ron Madden]

Joey base hit!

[mhs95_06]

I would say it is more likely 7th thru 9th if you at Rasiel’s losses and Hernandez and Peralta...

I'm guessing 10 leads of 2 or more runs have been lost before the 8th inning starts.

[Ron Madden]

I'm guessing that's true for most teams

[Big Klu]

It makes sense that Ozzie Smith is not at the top of the fielding percentage list. He likely got to a lot of balls that other shortstops couldn't get to, and he made a few more errors as a result.

[adkindo]

I bet Ozzie ranks #1 in on field back flips

[Tadasimha]

If this years pattern is followed, the Reds lead will be gone by the 4th.

Nailed it

[mamell]

Antny's turned into a pretty darn good starter. If he can get to pitching more innings he'll be golden..

[Ron Madden]

Thom has been trying to jynx Disco most of the game

[Wonderful Monds]

Thom just casually bringing up the death of Jose Fernandez

[UKWhoDey]

Leave it to Thom to interject a tragic death in the middle of a 4-0 Reds game

[North]

Cheap hot dogs at Marlins Park...3 bucks. Cheap beer too - $5.

[Tadasimha]

Must have driven him crazy to see Disco get through six shutout innings

[Ironman92]

Castro flashing the leather

[Tadasimha]

Disco batting? He's coming back out?

Yep

[Ron Madden]

That woulda been one helluva play!

[Redeye fly]

WOW

To even make that play close... WOW

[adkindo]

if he made that play....think I would have had to turn it off

[Ironman92]

Holy crap! Wow. Maybe the best non out I’ve ever seen

[Ron Madden]

Good Game Disco!!!

[Rantly]

What a nicely pitched game by Disco. He’s on a pretty good roll. Can we mark him down as a #4 next year?

Unbelievable accuracy on that throw to 1st!

Suarez like it there

[adkindo]

would love to see Geno stay hot for another week and catch Bellinger/Alonso in the NL. He is 4 behind them, and 3 behind Yelich.

[Roy Tucker]

Where has this version of Disco been all year?

[InsaneinthBrame]

Great start by Disco

[Ron Madden]

Nice running catch by Senzel

[Rantly]

Loved the Reds fan camping out to catch the Geno HR. “Thank you God” to quote Animal House.

[Ironman92]

Nice running catch by Senzel

Good first step

[adkindo]

Good first step

2nd step was not bad either ;)

- - - Updated - - -

I know Gausman would be expensive as a reliever, but I like him out of the bullpen lately

[Tony Cloninger]

I thought having Suarez trying to hit homers was bad since he was hitting like a Rob Deer clone these last few weeks.

Oh well. Carry on launch angels. Dismiss any situational hitting.

[PuffyPig]

What a nicely pitched game by Disco. He’s on a pretty good roll. Can we mark him down as a #4 next year?

!

He’s in the top 40 in ERA in the NL, so yes, he’s a good #4 in a good rotation.

[adkindo]

any chance they are going with Kuhnel in the 9th because somewhere in the back of their heads, they see him as a potential closer if Iglesias left?

[adkindo]

Lyles was a good pickup for Milwaukee....he has been very good for them after struggling before the break in Pittsburgh

[adkindo]

Gausman is throwing strikes....almost everything is breaking on the meaty part of the plate.

[Ron Madden]

REDS WIN!!!

Reds 5
Marlins 0

[Tadasimha]

Nice little run - Marlins were just what they needed

[adkindo]

even on the road trip at 3-3....have to get at least 2 in St. Louis...hopefully more to make up for Pittsburgh

[Tony Cloninger]

REDS WIN!!!

Reds 5

The Reds sweep someone on the road and it’s like a Minnie Vanillie concert in here.

Well I just got fact checked.

[mhs95_06]

Nice job by Disco, going 7 with no runs! Getting a DP on the first pitch after the first hit he gave up was big for getting his pitch count to look a lot better. Then after he gave up his 2nd hit, in the 7th, he got the last batter with 5 of his pitches being 93.5 to 94.1 mph. Of course I don't think this Marlins line-up is up there with the top ones in MLB.

[Ron Madden]

Tonight was Disco's 26th start.
0 runs in 4 starts
1 or 0 runs in 13 starts
3 or fewer runs in 18 starts

So, you're saying he's pitched well enough that he should have at least 13 Wins already?

[cumberlandreds]

If Aquino can hit just one more HR in the next four games he will tie Frank Robinson and Greg Vaughn for most HR's in calendar month with 14. Not bad for someone most of us knew nothing or little about just about a month ago.

It's just too bad the Reds couldn't schedule the Marlins about 90 times this season. They may have made the playoff then.
