.200 shouldn’t be down in the lineup, but out.

Why is Votto still batting 3rd!...just kidding, despite his low BA, he has looked much better at the plate than most years in April.

[KeefeCato]

What player is Reds fans going to cry about when Joey retires?

Every. Day.

.200 shouldn’t be down in the lineup, but out.

I wonder if the Braves are going to bench Freddie Freeman as well.

[KeefeCato]

Are we really still judging hitters on batting average?

[0-2 Count]

Why is Votto still batting 3rd!...just kidding, despite his low BA, he has looked much better at the plate than most years in April.

Of the 4 Qualifying betters in the Reds lineup (Votto, Castellanos, Suarez, & Moose), Votto has the highest average exit velocity. He truly has hit into some bad luck.

Yes, good BA still pretty important to have a good OBP etc. right?

I think it was entirely the logical move not to retain Gausman given the money he would have earned and his overall poor performance before coming to Cincy but it still leaves a bit of bitter taste seeing him flourish elsewhere.

JOEY VOTTO says SHHHH all you non believers.

Votto! :jump:

[membengal]

Votto still need to be cut or no.

[JFLegal]

he knew it right off the bat. this is 2 nights in a row he looks like the votto of old. holy crap.

Joey always seems to hit his homers in bunches.

[RiverRat13]

Moppo getting hotto.

Joey and Suarez get going and this team will score 1000 runs this year.

[JaxRed]

Have no problem moving on from Gausman. We can't afford to pay retail for many guys. At 18 million, the best you can do is break even. In the next year or so we'll have guys like Antone and/or Greene putting up the same or better numbers for 500K

[NebraskaRed]

Moooooose

[Sea Ray]

He pounded that ball

[M2]

It's a brutal beatdown in the 1st inning. They're going to need to wrap Kevin in gauze, man.

castillo wastes zero time in pissing the lead in half.

[The Operator]

Well that was less than ideal


4-2

[RedTeamGo!]

They were both ALL OVER Castillo. He’s not fooling anyone. Weird.

[JaxRed]

Ball didn't even land in the water

[frazierfan]

"Your bay belongs to us now."

All your bay are belong to us.

[JFLegal]

They were both ALL OVER Castillo. He’s not fooling anyone. Weird.

twice he's looked like a JAG (just a guy) this year.

the one time he didn't? vs pirates.

[KeefeCato]

It'll be Naquin tomorrow

I figure Senzel sits tomorrow for Naquin.

[Wonderful Monds]

It’s weird how whatever the Giants park is called these days holds more people than GABP despite basically not having RF stands. I guess they make up for it in CF?

[RedTeamGo!]

the one time he didn't? vs pirates.

I mean, he’s throwing 98 with movement. That’s not just a guy. It’s just bizarre.

Agree, especially with the return of Bauer, Gray, Desclafani, Castillo

[0-2 Count]

Well, looks like we're going to need an Antone like performance from someone other than Antone tonight.

[JFLegal]

I mean, he’s throwing 98 with movement. That’s not just a guy. It’s just bizarre.

i love castillo. just saying he's looked mediocre 2 of his 3 starts this year. and the 1 was against the terrible pirates.

[Gunner44]

Anybody else ever wonder what could have been 2018-2020 if Votto had stayed batting upright instead of that crap slouching stance? (i realize he only used it half of 2020)

[JFLegal]

wow, that 2-1 pitch was a strike. need robo umps.

[membengal]

What in the world, ump?

[NebraskaRed]

C. Trent Rosecrans
@ctrent

It's cold in SF. We know Luis Castillo doesn't like the cold

Does not bode well for any postseason play.

Where the hell did that miss?

[JFLegal]

4-4. my god.

[KeefeCato]

WOW just Wow

[Wonderful Monds]

Does not bode well for any postseason play.

Yeah he’s gotta find a way to deal with that tbh

[The Operator]

Oh for the love of god

[KeefeCato]

Where the hell did that miss?

It didn't Umps are awful and getting worse.

[Wonderful Monds]

Christ

[BluegrassRedleg]

Sigh...

[Griffey012]

Why is Castillo not throwing any sliders?

[NebraskaRed]

It was the best of times, it was the blurst of times.

[ochoa30]

Jeez

[Wonderful Monds]

Castillo is definitely not an ace kind of pitcher. He’s a strong #2 at best.

[zigbeenuthouse]

I hate to complain about calls....but that pitch before the BLAST was just pathetic.

[RedTeamGo!]

This sucks

[JFLegal]

who knows what would have happened if the ump wouldn't have missed that obvious strike. but castillo needs to be way better than this. not just better. way better. he's a headcase. great stuff, but for some reason things like this happen.

[RedTeamGo!]

Castillo in his head now. Will be shocked if he goes 5.

[zigbeenuthouse]

The cold winds of SF Bay must be BLOWING out

[mhs95_06]

Which starting pitcher will get it together will be a key to the game!

[M2]

Luis, Luis
Oh no
Me gotta throw

[JFLegal]

I hate to complain about calls....but that pitch before the BLAST was just pathetic.

why would you hate to complain about an obvious strike that was somehow called a ball? it's exhibit 5 trillion why we need robo umps calling balls/strikes.

[The Operator]

And the inning mercifully comes to an end


All tied up at 4 after 1

[JFLegal]

Luis, Luis
Oh no
Me gotta throw

M2 is partying tonight. have a good one dude.

[Larry Schuler]

It’s all good. No way Gausman suddenly pitches 5 shutout innings from here on out.

[RedTeamGo!]

The ESPN announcing team is absolutely awful

[Wonderful Monds]

I can’t believe you’ve done this

this is correct.

The (sad) thing is this is me completely sober.

The play by play guy is just kind of like “uh and then Crawford hits the ball. I think?”

Way to sap the great momentum the team had. Welp.

[JFLegal]

The (sad) thing is this is me completely sober.

lmao, with that post i just figured you were tying one on.

Home runs should count double if they’re hit into the ocean

[DocRed]

Wow...GOD Awful inning by Castillo. WTF?

[NCReds]

Just tuned in. Looks like I missed a lot

[HammerTime]

How are you guys getting this game on ESPN? Mets game is still on for me.

[JFLegal]

5-4 reds!

[membengal]

Is it just me or is EVERY check swing ruled a strike this year? I don't know that I have ever seen so many raised fists from the first and third base umps on those swings in the past as I have seen this year?

[The Operator]

Cast!!!


5-4 Reds!!

Winker speed!

One more for the good guys.

Sweet swing by Castellanos... and great baserunning to get to third.

Winker is running so much better.

They’re literally ringing everyone up this year. It’s crazy

[Kc61]

Reds are ahead. Just bring in Antone.

[Wonderful Monds]

I thought for sure that bird was gonna eat it on that cutoff throw

[membengal]

wtf was that check swing strike call

Yes. This. It has been every time it feels like. If the catcher checks w/ the umps, the umps are calling it a swing. I am starting to wonder if they have all gotten together on this to make some sort of weird point.

[davereds24]

Wink showing the legs 2 nights in a row!

That's a ballsy move taking 3rd there.

[membengal]

They’re literally ringing everyone up this year. It’s crazy

I am glad it's not just me. And I have noticed it in every game I have been watching on league pass.

[RedTeamGo!]

Wink me daddy

Winker is fast now btw.

[Tom Servo]

That was a great hit from Castellanos too the kind I feel we don't see from many Reds players in recent history.

[Wonderful Monds]

Thank you Jesse Winker for deciding to be fast now

[KeefeCato]

Reds are ahead. Just bring in Antone.

They should just use him like the Dodgers Mike Marshall was used over 200 innings as a reliever one year.

[The Operator]

I am glad it's not just me. And I have noticed it in every game I have been watching on league pass.

Even Welsh said something the other day. It’s absurd... like 80% seem to be getting rung up.

[JaxRed]

Hopefully Wink still ok after that trip. He had a calf issue...

[RedTeamGo!]

Jesse Winker looks like a dude that is obsessed with BMX

[The Operator]

Ah Joey’s bad again


5-4 Reds middle of the 2nd

[JFLegal]

we'll take that.

wait, will we take that?

yeah.

[Wonderful Monds]

Whew, Joey was swinging for the seas again on that last cut

[TexasRedsFan]

Hopefully Cast is on a tear again. Two great looking ab's so far.

If he hits two in the ocean. I hear he gets fancy coffee for life.

Anyone think Winker’s bat throw during the game’s opening at bat was to gain attention because the game is being televised nationally by ESPN? That seemed totally unnecessary.

I am halfway willing to make a stand on this hill.

I predicted a Red would win ROY but I pick the wrong Red. I picked Stephenson. I thought he would get 400 ABs. He may still get that many but I now have my doubts.

John Wick is one of the best action movies of the past 20 years.

Cowboy is a little too old for simpsons. He gets a pass.

[KeefeCato]

The Cowboy and I both have no idea what Sadak is talking about half the time.

Barnhart says I want that pitch when I’m back there.

[kaldaniels]

Lol Cowboy “we’ll watch End Game together”

I had to Google what End Game was.

I fear I just exposed myself.

[RedTeamGo!]

I fear I just exposed myself.

As someone with good taste?

This Simpson is almost as old, lol. Brantley was 25 when it debuted.

[Roy Tucker]

Seeing Brandon Crawford, I have bad flashbacks of the earlier part of last decade with these Giants.

[JFLegal]

lol, and that's not a swing from posey? jesus.

[membengal]

Oh, NOW they say a swing was checked? Horsecrap.

Family board.

Reds roulette

[JFLegal]

[membengal]

Castillo really locked in. Weird first inning for he and Gausman.

He's held my attention tonight.

I don't know if I buy the story about how he figured out the key to stopping Barry Bonds. I sense he just got lucky.

[JFLegal]

sadak/brantley is where it's at.

I dunno man, my dad was born in 1949 and our Sunday night ritual was watching the Simpsons together growing up. That and all the syndicated re-runs at times too.

Those early seasons transcend time and age in my opinion.

[Roy Tucker]

Reds announcers are better. I have no idea what the ESPN crew is talking about.

[JFLegal]

moooooooooose!

[KeefeCato]

Pen is going to have to cover at least 4 innings.

[RedTeamGo!]

This Simpson is almost as old, lol. Brantley was 25 when it debuted.

Yeah that’s too old, especially for an athlete. I feel like people around my age group were perfect age for the Simpsons. I grew up with it. I am 37.

[The Operator]

Moose! And a nice snag by Votto too

[HammerTime]

I like this team.

[TexasRedsFan]

Joey is always an adventure at first base anymore.

I would submit that Cowboy is sounding good in part because Sadak gives him some new stuff to work with.

[M2]

Brantley discovered that in 1993: play on the same team as Bonds. Barry didn't get a hit off him all year long.
