Bring up a hot young kid and there are so many guys not hitting, it's hard to know which one to sit. I think sitting Votto is the right call. I'd sit him both games.

[Ron Madden]

The Brewers lineup has been added to the original post

[REDREAD]

Yea, given the fact that the team has done so poorly lately, it's smart to give Votto some rest to clear his head.
It's also smart to give Garcia some playing time. This "on the job training" is probably going to help his development more
than working out at Prasco, even if Garcia is overmatched at the plate (I don't know how he's going to perform). Might as well give Payton some playing time too, to see if he's worth keeping.

With Sonny on the mound, I feel good about our chances to win, no matter what the lineup is :)

I'd also like to see Shogo start the next 15 games, let's see if he can get into some kind of groove or if he's a bust.

Absolutely. Team's going nowhere, and we signed Shogo to a 3 year deal. At the very least, let's find out exactly what we have there.

I'd also love to see them trade Senzel, but I can't see any way that happens before the 31st.

[adkindo]

my understanding is Garcia will be the everyday SS for the remainder of the season?

#FreeAquino #FreeStephenson

That's what David Bell said, he also said that doesn't mean every inning of every game.

[mhs95_06]

The only change from yesterday's lineup, vs. the same pitcher, is at catcher. With the change today to Casali in the first game, I presume Bell was planning to use Tucker to start last night and tonight, but now with 2 games today, the match-ups with our pitchers and the Milw pitchers, he'd rather start Curt in the 1st game and Tucker in the 2nd game.

FYI, the #Reds can have a 29th man for the second game tonight, but they do not need to decide on who that will be until after Game 1. They can pick anyone from the taxi squad

@nightengalejr
#Reds rotation: Tyler Mahle will start vs. Cubs on Friday. Trevor Bauer will start 1 of the doubleheader games on Saturday. The rest is still TBA.

Maybe Tyler Stephenson will be the 29th man and start game 2. We can only hope.

Not a great at bat by Suarez.

Brewers go down in order

[podgejeff_]

Wow Sonny.

That's how you do it.

[JaxRed]

I just wonder with the Galvis demotion if he's a trade candidate. Or is the Votto move more than a temp thing.

I'm sure he is.

[Kc61]

Problem with the misplays is that it costs Gray pitches.

With the way Reds play defense it can cost starters an inning per game.

[Tom Servo]

Inning that should have been over already continues with a walk

[JaxRed]

Really need to get this guy

[EnglishRed]

HOF!!

If you think i'm going to get overexcited about a 22 year old kid getting a base hit and stolen base in his first big league AB....then you're absolutely right I am....Best start making space in Cooperstown.

[TheBigLebowski]

These are the kind of at-bats I wish our guys could produce

[EnglishRed]

This La Rosa's thing for the Reds Community Fund should be based on unforced errors...would be able to solve world hunger by the playoffs.

[Tom Servo]

Great snag by Garcia, didn't think he had a chance.

Gotta get out of this Sonny, come on.

[JaxRed]

Saved a run.

[mth123]

Nice job by Garcia keeping the ball in the infield to save a run

[Tom Servo]

Suarez not being able to make a low pressure throw from second to first cost Sonny an extra 17 pitches in the 2nd.

[mth123]

Castellanos!!!

[Ron Madden]

Castellanos Goes BOOM!!!

[Tom Servo]

Cast! :jump:

[TheBigLebowski]

Wow he hurt that ball

[EnglishRed]

Castellanos dents the outfield wall. HR..

[mth123]

Back to Back. Winky!!!

[JaxRed]

Suarez not being able to make a low pressure throw from second to first cost Sonny an extra 17 pitches in the 2nd.

And Galvis not snagging the first ball.

Suarez with a base hit!

[Wonderful Monds]

Damn the Brewers suck

[mth123]

Yeah. I'm enjoying these guys. Maybe its because teh Reds are showing life.

[TheBigLebowski]

Not impressed at all with Moustakas

[Tom Servo]

Moose just 3 for 21 since returning from the IL. Wonder if its rust or if the quad is still bugging him.

[Phoenix2]

Let's build on this. So far so good.

[Kc61]

Not impressed at all with Moustakas

When he hits better people will be more impressed.

[Stray]

Shogo went a long way to track that down

[TheBigLebowski]

Nice K there

[Ron Madden]

Nice K there

A 4 strike K

[TheBigLebowski]

You’re out on a pretty flimsy limb there, but something tells me you’re right.

[Ron Madden]

Reds 3
Brewers 0

after 3 innings

[Kc61]

Gray at 53 pitches. Can he get through 7 innings?

A couple of low pitch innings would help, hope he can.

[Tom Servo]

Payton can hit a little bit

[Ron Madden]

Payton single to lead off the 4TH inning

[Kc61]

Payton with a nice approach that time for a single. I’m seeing less fence swinging by the Reds.

[Tom Servo]

Fewer balls being pulled than usual.

Fewer overswings from most of them.

Some actual llne drives even if not blistering.

[mhs95_06]

Payton swipes 2B

On another pitch in the zone and called strike 3, to the dismay of Casali.

[Wonderful Monds]

The Brewers see through jerseys look like garbo

[TheBigLebowski]

I don’t see anything with Akiyama. He’s a below average hitter and flashes plus in the field. He’s Travis Jankowski-San.

[mth123]

The Brewers see through jerseys look like garbo

They vant to be alone??

[Kc61]

Shogo still not on track. He’s patient but too many strikeouts and routine grounders. Not hitting the ball with authority.

Still think he’ll come around, adjusting to big league pitching, but it’s taking awhile.

[TheBigLebowski]

Payton, OTOH, might stick. Looks like a useful bench bat/pinch runner/4th OF

[Kc61]

71 pitches for Gray through 4 innings. A tad high still.

[Ron Madden]

I think Payton showed'em enough to send Jankowski to the taxi squad

[KeefeCato]

Did anyone think Gray would be this good when the Reds got him?

[Ron Madden]

Did anyone think Gray would be this good when the Reds got him?

I thought he would turn it around but didn't expect this kinda outcome

[Tom Servo]

He’s safe, was a great slide

[podgejeff_]

Castellanos plays so hard. What a great slide and great hustle.

[TheBigLebowski]

What. A. PLAY.

[JaxRed]

Did anyone think Gray would be this good when the Reds got him?

No. I thought the immediate extension was very bold. It's paid off.

[mth123]

Best hitter and slowest runner bunting?

[mth123]

Winker again. Glad no bunt

[Ron Madden]

Da Wink 2 run bomb!

[podgejeff_]

This is the Jesse Winker we all imagined when he was drafted.

[Tom Servo]

Wink! :jump:


Is Winker elite??

[Phoenix2]

Wow. This has been such an enjoyable game.

[TheBigLebowski]

Winker is out of this world

[mhs95_06]

Jesse taking less time to get hot again. The key is going oppo!

[reds77]

Winker is the best NL DH of all time! ;)

[BluegrassRedleg]

Two oppos. Beautiful. That's like old-school Votto.

[podgejeff_]

Jesse taking less time to get hot again. The key is going oppo!

Yeah got to like seeing the opposite field power.

[Ron Madden]

That was ball 4 to Geno

[Mitri]

I was wrong about Winker. There. I feel better. Can I be his biggest fan now?

[Tom Servo]

Jeez that strike 2 call on a Geno was nowhere close

[podgejeff_]

Suarez, you were right to toss your bat there. That was a walk.

[podgejeff_]

[Phoenix2]

Winker just looks so confident too

[podgejeff_]

So are they giving Lecure a trial run for a booth job?

[Ron Madden]

Lost in the sun. Thank You!

[podgejeff_]

BWAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA Yelich

[mhs95_06]

Castellanos plays so hard. What a great slide and great hustle.

I'm against head first slides, except to go back to a base, but that slide illustrates one of the few positive points that could be argued in favor of it. That the hands and arms are usually a bit more dexterous in being able to avoid a tag.

[Phoenix2]

Ugh. David Bell time. Gotta pinch hit with Mr. .091. Tinker gotta tink.

[Kc61]

Winker hit a string of opposite field homers last year too.

This isn’t GABP, pretty impressive.

[Shatz1988]

Ervin really has no business being on this team.

[podgejeff_]

Man he was just determined to hit it down that left field line.

[TheBigLebowski]

No reason to go to Ervin there.

[JarrodOnVinyl]

We need Aquino. I don’t care of Ervin’s out of options

[Kc61]

Even if they still like Ervin, if he’d clear waivers, some Prasco time would probably help him.

Tough to end a deep slump batting so sporadically.

Might not clear, may be worth the risk of waivers given how badly he’s hitting.

[Ironman92]

Been watching last couple innings. Looks good. Winker hits it where it is pitched and is our best hitter because of that. Suarez still lost.

Lecure funny...calls it like it is. We’ll see if that can last in this day and age of hurt feelz

[podgejeff_]

The movement on that first strike. My God.

[podgejeff_]

Baseballrulesacademy.com

In case you guys ever forget.

[Ron Madden]

[mth123]

So, Castellanos looks fine in RF to me. He made a bad play early in the year and cost them a game. He's seemed fine since and actually looks pretty good today.

You’ll notice when Cast goes back on the ball, he often has to leap for the catch.

A fleeter RFer would make those catches more readily. Very hard to tell fully on TV without the context of the whole field.

Not saying it’s a disaster but I’m not surprised his UZR is a bit negative.

[Mitri]

Yeah, he's fine. A bit clunky but he hustles and has enough speed to recover from any bad angles.

[TheBigLebowski]

I don’t think the Reds will win a World Series with Garcia. I think they’ll win 8-10.

But a bit negative in RF isn't really hurting the team and his bat is pretty darned good. He's fine out there. I'd like him better in LF with Aquino in RF.

Every game somebody comments on the uniforms. I never really notice. They are on commercial right now and I couldn't tell you if they are wearing the gray ones, the red ones or the white ones (or the camo).

And the Brewers score a run.

Trolls will be here shortly

[TheBigLebowski]

Bell. ^%}}*

Gray had another inning. Easily.

[podgejeff_]

It's not really relevant right now, but I think I'd be cool with Curt Casali getting the lion's share of starts at catcher. I don't care if his average sucks, he hits the ball hard and takes a walk and can catch. That's enough for me.

[Kc61]

I don’t care that Bell removed Gray.

But this isn’t the time to use your weaker relievers.

Don’t mess around with winning ballgames.

I’d rather use them in clear losses, which Reds do have on occasion.

With the three batter rule, the use of those guys now is really a bad idea.

Just should have used Sims.

Lucky strikeout on borderline pitch, thankfully.

Biddle sure throws an “easy” 95-96.

That's a fair point, but I don't think using Sims in a six run game is the best use of him.

Suarez is dead last in batting average off the 155 qualifying players....only 10 guys below him in OPS

If Biddle had to come out, I would have just used Iggy.

It’ll likely work out, but don’t like Bell’s pen use in this game.
