[KeefeCato]

Good to see Joey back.

[NatiRedGals]

Wish Stephenson would start over barnhart but like the lineup

[podgejeff_]

Wish Stephenson would start over barnhart but like the lineup

He could use the extra rest. He's played a ton lately.

[Kc61]

So Naquin not back in lineup after hamstring tightness. Shogo gets the nod.

[Ironman92]

Guessing the winning ways will turn to the bad for any number of reasons

[NebraskaRed]

Reds have done well against Houser in the past, so hopefully that continues tonight.

[AG Slater]

Wonder what kind of delay they will have.

[mth123]

Glad they didn't breakup the top 3 just because Votto is back. Hitting Votto 4th or 5th might be his new role anyway. The on base is down and the ISO is up.

[JaxRed]

I actually wish they had started Votto 6th, and say they'll ease him back into his regular role. Just in case. It's really hard to take a guy out of top 4 once you put him there. Votto had been in a little mini-funk before he left (.091 avg in May) and only hit .190 in AAA. And both of his extra base hits, although hit a long way, might have been caught by a better fielder.

[Far East]

I like the R-L-R batting order, and I'm picturing India as the runner on first base with the Brewers then unable to to position their infielders in the usual extreme shift against Winker.

[KeefeCato]

How is the weather in Cincy?

Looking at the other guys in the line=up, there really isn't a 4 or 5 hitter in the bunch with Naquin out

[Wonderful Monds]

How is the weather in Cincy?

Been raining lightly for about a half hour here

[SomeCallMeTim]

Looking at the other guys in the line=up, there really isn't a 4 or 5 hitter in the bunch with Naquin out

True. Beggars can’t be choosers.

The big mistake would be to bat Winker or Castellanos lower than 3rd.

Glad Bell didn’t use his preprinted Votto 3rd lineup stock.

[NatiRedGals]

He could use the extra rest. He's played a ton lately.

We're they off yesterday? Isn't he younger then Barnhart

[podgejeff_]

Three pitch filth K from Gray to start it off.

[NebraskaRed]

Urias had no idea what was happening during that AB

[podgejeff_]

How does a dude that looks like Vogelbach only have 4 homers?

[NebraskaRed]

The Michelin Man gets a hit

[TheBigLebowski]

Dan Vogelbach always makes me grin. Like Chris Farley playing ball.

[podgejeff_]

Gray racking up Ks already. Foul tip on Yelich. My fantasy team cries.

[TheBigLebowski]

Dusty Baker would hate Vogelbach. That’s the very definition of “clogging up the bases.”

Nice pitch Sonny

[podgejeff_]

This may surprise some of you, but Daniel Vogelbach has 0 SB attempts.

[WildcatFan]

Need to jump all over Houser, as good as Milwaukee’s bullpen is.

[podgejeff_]

That ball looks like a beachball to Wink.

[WildcatFan]

Those plays are why Tucker is under appreciated by a lot of Reds fans. He doesn’t let those balls through.

[Big Klu]

Larkin says that Winker isn't just swinging the bat, he's "strokin'".

[membengal]

"strike"

[WildcatFan]

Terrible call.

[podgejeff_]

Well Castellanos was robbed.

And probably angered the umps with that.

[TheBigLebowski]

That was just horrible. Come on.

[TheBigLebowski]

Joseph looked...a little less than optimal in that AB

[Larkin Fan]

Votto just missed that one. I bet he wishes he had that pitch back.

[NebraskaRed]

Votto hits a "Louisville double" (an easy fly to center)

[RedTeamGo!]

Jesse Winker bangs

[RedsLvr]

Baseball needs robo umps and fast.

[Larkin Fan]

Baseball needs robo umps and fast.

They certainly can't do any worse.

[podgejeff_]

Jesse Winker bangs

That was the substitute word you chose, eh?

- - - Updated - - -

Gray's bringing the stuff tonight.

[KeefeCato]

I really think the pitchers throw too hard for the umps to call balls and strikes. They were never this bad when pitchers topped out at 90.

[podgejeff_]

Tricky ball to field there. Shogo's still bringing the D.

[AG Slater]

NL needs the damn DH so Stephenson can be in there. Move Votto and Suarez on down. I was hoping Cast would just go to first that call was just awful

[mhs95_06]

I really think the pitchers throw too hard for the umps to call balls and strikes. They were never this bad when pitchers topped out at 90.

Yes they were, we just didn't have the box to tell.

[RedsLvr]

I really think the pitchers throw too hard for the umps to call balls and strikes. They were never this bad when pitchers topped out at 90.

I think technology made it increasingly obvious to the casual viewer when a ball is obviously out of the zone.

[WildcatFan]

Putting a shift on JBJ is like me wearing a chastity belt around J-Lo.

[RedTeamGo!]

Suarez is going to hit an oppo dinger this inning

Well hell, then by all means, shift away!

[KeefeCato]

Geno can't catch a break.

[podgejeff_]

Barnhart has put together quite the season so far.

[podgejeff_]

Farmer's got guts going for that, gotta give him that.

[WildcatFan]

Man, great hustle from Farmer.

[TheBigLebowski]

Come on shogo

[KeefeCato]

Come on Shogo hit on off your bloopers over the IF.

[Ironman92]

Sadak...Joey is back and if injury is ok will start 98 of the next 100 games, hope this helps

[podgejeff_]

Jim Day, outlining his job major job responsibilities. Mainly "taking abuse".

[TheBigLebowski]

Shogo still can’t be used on MLB: The Show. That’s part of his problem.

- - - Updated - - -

Shogo! Nice bit of hitting

[Stray]

Nice AB by Shogo

[podgejeff_]

Nice AB put together by Shogo. I still believe.

[RedTeamGo!]

Shogo bangs

[AG Slater]

Good for Farmer and Shogo

[Mitri]

Clutch AB by Shogo!

[WildcatFan]

Shogo!!!

[NebraskaRed]

Again, look what happens when Shogo gets more playing time

- - - Updated - - -

Farmer...what?

[Larkin Fan]

Farmer TOOTBLAN

[podgejeff_]

Come on Farmer do you miss Louisville or something?

[JFLegal]

oh well, i'll still take this inning for sure.

[WildcatFan]

Farmer gets one of those every single game.

[KeefeCato]

Nice job Shogo. He hit it a little too hard for Farmer to score. Idiot Farmer picked off 3b.

[TheBigLebowski]

Good Lord. These guys are the worst baserunners I’ve ever seen.

Cost us a run.

[Stray]

That had to be some sort of squeeze for Farmer to get caught leaning that hard

[JFLegal]

That had to be some sort of squeeze for Farmer to get caught leaning that hard

it was a safety squeeze. i don't blame him too much. he was being extra aggressive with his secondary lead. but that happens.

i just hate bunting. good chance sonny drives him in if you just let him hit. only one out. all it would have taken was a sac fly, well placed ground ball out ... or even a hit.

[mhs95_06]

Farmer TOOTBLAN

Sadak asks how he can get caught? The bunt was flat out missed, duh!

[Kc61]

Nice double by Farmer that inning to help Reds get a run across.

[NebraskaRed]

RobBiertempfel
@RobBiertempfel

Piratse Ke'Bryan Hayes hits a foul pole-hugging solo homer off Buehler, but is called out after replay review for not touching first base.

Ouch

[WildcatFan]

Unrelated to anything, but I’m surprised Jim Day still has to wear a mask with the Reds over the 85% vaccination threshold.

[Ironman92]

Sad Larkin doesn’t know that JBJ is one of THE very best center fielders

[TheBigLebowski]

Unrelated to anything, but I’m surprised Jim Day still has to wear a mask with the Reds over the 85% vaccination threshold.

I checked into it.

Chronic Halitosis. More of a favor to colleagues.

[Tom Servo]

Ouch
Farmer slightly redeemed

[Ironman92]

That had to be some sort of squeeze for Farmer to get caught leaning that hard

Safety or he would’ve been going full go....he needed to wait another second for actual contact

[podgejeff_]

Houser can hit a little bit...

[JFLegal]

Nice double by Farmer that inning to help Reds get a run across.

yes, he smoked that ball. and then showed great hustle and decent speed to get to second.

[mhs95_06]

it was a safety squeeze. i don't blame him too much. he was being extra aggressive with his secondary lead. but that happens.

i just hate bunting. good chance sonny drives him in if you just let him hit. only one out. all it would have taken was a sac fly, well placed ground ball out ... or even a hit.

And even more possible was hitting into an inning ending DP.

[AG Slater]

Vogelbach is an offensive lineman playing baseball.

[NebraskaRed]

Excellent catch

[Mitri]

Jesse has improved drastically in defense and baserunning these past few years, to my eyes at least.

[podgejeff_]

Yeah that's a .830 xBA on that out. Nice job Wink.

[TheBigLebowski]

I’ve always been bullish on Winker although I did feel it would be best to move him to
an AL team so he could avoid the field. And the struggles with lefties.

That dude is incredible. I can’t recall the last time I saw a player improve so much in a relatively short time.

It really seems like dudes never fully shake off their draft scouting report. Even though they spend many years training and getting top level coaching and probably improve more often than not.

[Ironman92]

Nice catch....big leaguers make that

[Stray]

man that was a nasty put away slider

[Ironman92]

Vogelbach listed at 250 on one site and 270 on another....looking for the site that has him at 318

[podgejeff_]

Castellanos is talking a lot in there.

[JFLegal]

i'm in love with castellanos.

[TheBigLebowski]

Love the hustle

[podgejeff_]

Dude plays angry. I love it.

[NebraskaRed]

Reds decided to hustle tonight, apparently

[TheBigLebowski]

i'm in love with castellanos.

He has my whole heart

[JFLegal]

Castellanos is talking a lot in there.

as he should. he was telling the ump how much he missed that 3-2 pitch previous AB.

[WildcatFan]

How in the hell did he end up on second?

[Ironman92]

Impressed by that swing....Impressed Garcia stopped that and impressed he got to 2nd

[podgejeff_]

How in the hell did he end up on second?

Rage.

Votto back.

[TheBigLebowski]

Votto back.

Suarez still here

[membengal]

sigh

[NebraskaRed]

Oh no

[TheBigLebowski]

Of course.

[Coopdaddy67]

Don't let him pitch, take him out.

[TheBigLebowski]

Why???

Why can’t we have nice things?

[AG Slater]

Looks like a groin. Now the Reds have to rely on the batting practice bullpen

[WildcatFan]

Yikes, something with his push leg.

[Mitri]

Looks like a groin. Now the Reds have to rely on the batting practice bullpen

Groin or hamstring. Hopefully not his back.

[NatiRedGals]

Hope he brings in feliz

[podgejeff_]

Antone?

[Griffey012]

Guh……

[Big Klu]

They are waiting for Goudeau.

[kaldaniels]

It looked like he wanted to reach for/rub his groin.

[podgejeff_]

Groin or hamstring. Hopefully not his back.

He was trying to shake it out there. Walking weird. I think groin.

[Griffey012]

Can’t even bring in Blandino to keep it close.

[NebraskaRed]

Doolittle in

[AG Slater]

Reds offense needs to step up cover the slack. You would assume they may need 4-5 more runs at minimum

[Tom Servo]

well this sucks!!

[Fil3232]

Not great, Bob!

[podgejeff_]

So who's up? O'Brien or Santillan?

[NebraskaRed]

Can Doolittle keep stalling long enough for some heavy rain to move in and postpone the game until tomorrow?

[RedTeamGo!]

If Gray is out for the season that’s all folks.

[TheBigLebowski]

lol...it never fails.

[AG Slater]

4-5 lol I meant 10

[REDREAD]

Dolittle sucks..

[podgejeff_]

Yet again, why does anyone throw him fastballs?

[NebraskaRed]

That didn't take long.

[Griffey012]

If Gray is out for the season that’s all folks.

Highly doubt that considering it looked like a groin and he wasn’t on the ground in pain.

[Red Raindog]

Was there any doubt the lead would vanish quickly here?

How did Gray get hurt.

[Larkin Fan]

Well, that was fast.

[WildcatFan]

Somehow this is Yadi’s fault. I just have to figure out how to prove it.

[757690]

At least Doolittle didn’t let an inherited runner score.

[Griffey012]

That’s not even on Doolittle, he threw it right to the glove.

[podgejeff_]

How did Gray get hurt.

Pitching.

[REDREAD]

Part of this is on Bell.. I don't know the exact mix Dolittle has, but he is a heavily fastball guy. Not a good matchup. Bell could have warmed up any one he wanted to.

Warming up for next inning

Really nice play

I was concerned about the back injuries with Gray.

But this seems like something else.

Hope he won’t be out long. Maybe Santillan joins the rotation for awhile.

[Ironman92]

If Gray is out for the season that’s all folks.

Seems a bit much

[podgejeff_]

Screw it, just let Vlad warm up. Figure it out later.

[NebraskaRed]

Larkin is worried that this bullpen is being overworked and they might not have anything left in the tank by the end of the season.

Because they've been doing so well so far...?

[TheBigLebowski]

It’s important to remember they could be worse.

[Kc61]

Sean has a 15% ground ball rate this year. So low it’s like a typo.

[RedTeamGo!]

At some point you have to wonder why Doolittle is still on the team.

[NebraskaRed]

Can that person in the stands pitch?

[podgejeff_]

Can that person in the stands pitch?

I think he just broke his hand.

[davereds24]

You can't be a good pitcher with that many flowers on your arm

[NebraskaRed]

At some point you have to wonder why Doolittle is still on the team.

He's been bad for sure, but he was hurried out there and ended up only giving up one run. That's pretty good considering.

I wondered that when he was signed.

[gagliano]

That elko guy needs to do something with his hair. The days of combing it forward are gone

[NebraskaRed]

Garrett for 4 innings. Let whatever happens happen. No reason to wear everyone else out.

[KeefeCato]

I would use Antone multi innings. It is 1-1 game. May be lopsided score next two days and he may not be needed then.

[NatiRedGals]

Omg good job on rbi see ya shogo

[TheBigLebowski]

Bell made a double switch? You don’t say..

[KeefeCato]

Omg good job on rbi see ya shogo

I knew he was going to double switch and I knew you were going to complain.

[NebraskaRed]

Just let Votto pitch already. I've been waiting to see it for many years.

[Kc61]

I knew he was going to double switch and I knew you were going to complain.

It was not a double switch.

Naquin was already in the game as a pinch hitter.

So, there.

[Big Klu]

I don't sweat the double switch like many others do -- in fact, I think it's often a sound strategy. But in the 5th inning of a 1-1 game, I think it's too soon and not necessary.

[podgejeff_]

I do believe Larkin and Sadak are developing chemistry.

[Coopdaddy67]

I would use Antone multi innings. It is 1-1 game. May be lopsided score next two days and he may not be needed then.

Doesn't make much sense to use him for multiple innings in the 5th. There's still going to be 2-3 afterward to fill.

[KeefeCato]

It was not a double switch.

Naquin was already in the game as a pinch hitter.

So, there.

100% was a double switch. Shogo struck out to end the inning.

[Big Klu]

It was not a double switch.

Naquin was already in the game as a pinch hitter.

So, there.

No, he was on deck when Shogo made the final out. He was not yet officially in the game.

[davereds24]

I do believe Larkin and Sadak are developing chemistry.

It might be chemistry, but it's not good

[757690]

This could get ugly

[TheBigLebowski]

Yeah, the wheels are falling off.

Why call for that pitch on a full count with a runner at 2nd, especially considering he already threw one straight into the ground?

[Alabama Red]

Garrett is going to come in with men on base. Probably won’t go well but Hendrix can’t throw strikes.

[The Operator]

Man this bullpen is 10 kinds of awful.

[Redsfan5]

There you go. Nothing but curves to Garcia.

Find someone who loves you as much as Hendrix loves throwing the ball into the dirt.

[Kc61]

Unlike a true double switch, the pitcher’s ninth spot was already just retired. So there was no threat of the pitcher hitting soon.

The purpose here was something else, i.e., to keep Naquin’s bat in the lineup. In essence, he wanted to replace Shogo with Naquin after game was tied.

[KeefeCato]

I will say it again. Goudeau must be really bad. Bell won't go to him. He is the only reliever capable of throwing 3 plus innings. This should have been his game.

[Big Klu]

The ninth spot in the order never batted -- Akiyama made the final out. Naquin is going to lead off this inning.

[RedTeamGo!]

I don’t know the specifics of what is and is not a double switch, but Tommy Thrall called it a double switch.

[Kc61]

The ninth spot in the order never batted -- Akiyama made the final out. Naquin is going to lead off this inning.

Sorry, you’re correct. I was mistaken, thought Naquin made the last out. Carry on.

[KeefeCato]

The 9th spot was not just retired, Shogo hit 8th he struck out to end the inning. Naquin is now leading off hitting 9th. Hendrix is hitting 8th spot Shogo's old spot. It was a double switch.

[Kc61]

The 9th spot was not just retired, Shogo hit 8th he struck out to end the inning. Naquin is now leading off hitting 9th. Hendrix is hitting 8th spot Shogo's old spot. It was a double switch.

OK, making a pitching change the very next inning makes the double switch unnecessary.

word on the street is shogo said "nice 2-8 record and ERA in the 6s."

Nice slider AG.

That was a nasty pitch by AG. Would love to see him become at least moderately good again. I'm not confident Doolittle's gonna hold up.

If Garrett tucks his glove and doesn’t fly open his pitches are effective. He just has to stop flailing

I’m really missing the good, lively, effective AG.

Maybe he has a fight club he goes to before games.

Nice leather from Suarez.

[Ironman92]

Sonny is out....players are stepping up

Let’s go!

[podgejeff_]

That was odd

Honestly looked like it was pissing Shogo off.

[WildcatFan]

Suarez has handled this move to third base well.

[Roy Tucker]

Just my half-assed opinion, but I think Garrett is much better when he reins in his emotions. Stays tight and compact. When he gets all fired up and emotional, his motion is all over the place and not repeatable at all.

[TheBigLebowski]

These are the games the Reds have to win. Gotta beat the Brewers when they’re not throwing Woodruff/Burnes.

Houser’s a gas can. They’d get back to .500.

Despite the circuitous path, they got a “quality start” out of Gray/Doolittle/Hendrix/Garrett. 6 IP 2 ER.

Gotta have this game.

[DocRed]

Doiolitle......is garbage

would you give Garret another inning? I would, he's the second most rested guy in the pen, and seems on top of his game for now

Perfect pitch to Stephenson, boo.

Suter is what Doolittle used to be.

Farmer isn’t the fastest of runners.

[podgejeff_]

I'm a little surprised by the lack of a challenge there.

[TheBigLebowski]

Did he or didn’t he challenge?

[WildcatFan]

Nah he was out.

[KeefeCato]

Wow Farmer is slow. This team needs to have more speed. Maybe one year. Not going to happen anytime soon.

[Ironman92]

Agree with Amir on mound again

Someone has to pitch more than an inning

[Alabama Red]

Farmer must be slower than I thought. That shuffle step at the end was the difference.

[RedTeamGo!]

Way to end Amir’s great performance on a down note, Bell. Wonderful management.

[Alf_Red_E]

Garrett setting up the double play just as Bell planned

[WildcatFan]

Brad Brach will save us all.
