Reds miss Corbin Burnes (2.27) and Brandon Woodruff (1.52) TYVM.

[SomeCallMeTim]

There has been a Punisher sighting! I’d like a 500’ suds shot.

Missing the aces is great, but they did win 2/3 in LA and DC against some pretty good arms.

[TexasRedsFan]

I'm really liking Votto in the 5 spot, especially since he's been producing there. Hope Bell resists the temptation to move him higher again.

[Ron Madden]

The Brewers lineup has been added to the original post

[JFLegal]

Reds miss Corbin Burnes (2.27) and Brandon Woodruff (1.52) TYVM.

that's huge.

[NebraskaRed]

The last time Lauer pitched was last week vs. the Reds. 4 innings, 2 ER, 4 walks, 6 Ks.

[Mitri]

Welcome back, Punisher.

[Ron Madden]

I've noticed an improvement in game threads lately.

[CaiGuy]

I've noticed an improvement in game threads lately.

They are noticeably shorter, for one.

[Ron Madden]

They are noticeably shorter, for one.

LOL yeah, no where near as much Hot Takes and Overreaction

[JFLegal]

winning will do that lol.

[WrongVerb]

winning will do that lol.

Indeed.

[davereds24]

Let’s hope AA puts it all together this stint. Can’t imagine he gets many more chances in a Reds uni.

[SomeCallMeTim]

Welcome back, Punisher.

I feel like continuing to win is the way to go

[AG Slater]

Good to see the Reds back over .500. Brewers suck!

[JFLegal]

cosign

[NebraskaRed]

Aquino is returning almost 2 months to the day since he last had an AB as a Red.

At that point, he was 3 for 14. He had a double and two homers.

[Rojo Rijo]

Lets keep this streak going!

[Big Klu]

When are the Reds going to be able to take their broadcast crews on the road?

[Reds Freak]

When are the Reds going to be able to take their broadcast crews on the road?

I'm pretty sure the radio crew has been on the last few trips. I know I heard Brantely and Thrall talking about being in Milwaukee this week. Not sure about TV.

[Griffey012]

Great baserunning by India

[TheBigLebowski]

Lauer is one of the slowest workers I’ve seen.

[podgejeff_]

Good eye Stephenson.

The day I noticed that the Brewers logo wasn't just a glove, but an MB was like the baseball equivalent of noticing the Arrow in the FedEx logo.

[podgejeff_]

Productive RBI out to first by Votto. Can't complain.

[TheBigLebowski]

There’s Vogue

[Wonderful Monds]

The radio crew is talking about how Geno is hitting back since slicing and dicing his hand open

[TheBigLebowski]

Oh Gene, Ball 4.

[HammerTime]

Better than nothing and he had to really work hard that inning.

[podgejeff_]

Better than nothing and he had to really work hard that inning.

Yeah, 30 pitches in one inning is no bueno.

[Ironman92]

Not good enough

Watch Aquino go deep to lead off 2nd

A ton of pitches but just 1 run. Harder likely out, Reds should be going after getting to the bullpen…hopefully his 31 pitches after 1 doesn’t turn into 71 pitches thru 4 and 95 thru 6

[TheBigLebowski]

I love his arm action. Very fluid; appears effortless

[Reds Fanatic]

I'm pretty sure the radio crew has been on the last few trips. I know I heard Brantely and Thrall talking about being in Milwaukee this week. Not sure about TV.

Radio crew is on his whole road trip. Tv crew I think is being dictacted by Bally who has figured out a way to cut costs is to limit travel. The crews not traveling have little to do with COVID anymore and more to do with saving costs

[coryfly]

Has to get ahead of guys. Just can't keep getting down 2-0 and live that way.

[Reds Fanatic]

Tie game on a Vogelbach homer

[TheBigLebowski]

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZoSj1GaIIsUI


I found rare footage of Vogelbach.

[JFLegal]

ugh

[Reds Fanatic]

Bad luck there on a Yelich single against the shift

[coryfly]

Down 2-0 and two hard hit balls. Up 0-2 and weak contact but the shift screwed them. Still how he needs to pitch to beat a good team.

[Kc61]

Didn’t like that last swing by Suarez. I’m wondering if that cut finger problem is bothering him.

Reds are thin in the infield right now, but when Moose comes back Geno might need a few days off.

[Ironman92]

Avisail doesn’t seem like it would have 7 syllables like Sadak says it

[podgejeff_]

That was a great curve.

[Ironman92]

Inning 1 ends in a draw….if Reds can work him again though I like our chances

[JFLegal]

nice work vlad. let's go!

[Griffey012]

Avisail doesn’t seem like it would have 7 syllables like Sadak says it

That tilde over the second "i" is almost always ignored. Sadak is probably dead on his pronunciation.

[JFLegal]

"ball is ABSOLUTELY CRUSHED TO CENTER!" -- sadak

*caught by the shortstop*

[Reds Fanatic]

Leadoff walk to Aquino

[podgejeff_]

Was it Aquino who had a problem with never walking?

[Reds Fanatic]

Farmer lines a single to left. 1st and 2nd

[coryfly]

Good AB by Farmer there.

[Reds Fanatic]

Need to take advantage of all these scoring chances

[Reds Fanatic]

Gutierrez tries a bunt. 1-5 FC

[VR]

Lauer apparently works at dial-up speed. Only following on gameday, but slowwwww

[coryfly]

Not sure what he was looking for on that first pitch.

But whatever he did on that second pitch sucked, lol. He just hit it exactly where the Brewers wanted him to. Just crappy awful fundamental baseball stuff this team always seems to suck at.

[757690]

This has the feeling of a game where the Reds have like 20 base runners, score 2 runs and lose 3-2 on three Brewer solo HR’s.

[Reds Fanatic]

India lines a double to left center! 2-1 Reds

[coryfly]

Nice. India bringing the offense so far.

[Reds Fanatic]

2 hits for India already

[Mitri]

India - impresses every frickin day.

[podgejeff_]

Lauer's approaching 50 pitches...in the 2nd inning.

[coryfly]

Good take from Winker there.

[Reds Fanatic]

Winker singles to center. 3-1 Reds

[coryfly]

Another good AB. Castellanos can really break it open here.

[podgejeff_]

We're dinking and dunking all over this guy.

[757690]

Eric “Don’t Call Me Matt” Lauer is already over 50 pitches.

[Reds Fanatic]

4-1 Reds as Castellanos beats the throw to 1st on the FC

[Kc61]

Reds team hitting approach is so much better this year.

[Reds Fanatic]

Castellanos steals 2nd

[podgejeff_]

I swear Castellanos just wills good things to happen.

[Bob Sheed]

Castellanos for president.

[Roy Tucker]

When is the last time a Red stole a base? Doesn’t happen often.

[Kc61]

I swear Castellanos just wills good things to happen.

With his improved defense, good speed, terrific hitting this year, Castellanos is becoming a top flight all around player.

[TheBigLebowski]

Go india
go florida gator baseball

[adkindo]

just turned on game.....glad to see them giving Aquino a look in CF

[VR]

Cubs losing 4-0 in the 6th. Keep it rollin' boys.

[Griffey012]

This has the feeling of a game where the Reds have like 20 base runners, score 2 runs and lose 3-2 on three Brewer solo HR’s.

Fortunately this post aged well. :beerme:

[Wonderful Monds]

It’s an absolute travesty that the Brewers don’t play in Miller Park anymore

[Reds Fanatic]

The punisher runs that down

[podgejeff_]

Well look at you Aquino.

[TheBigLebowski]

NICE catch BIG PUNISHER

[Wonderful Monds]

Damn, Punisher

[adkindo]

I knew he could cover ground

[podgejeff_]

I love Gutierrez's stuff.

Why wasn't this guy better in the minors?

[757690]

What’s the defensive equivalent for “The Punisher?”

[Reds Fanatic]

Bloop hit by Peterson

[Big Klu]

Concern about Vlad is will he miss enough bats.

Throws strikes, but could be too easy to hit. Time will tell.

Good decision by Aquino to go to 3rd with the throw.

Agree…and now would like to jinx proof this post

Not sure a bullpen battle is ideal against this team but at this rate it is headed there.

[Reds Fanatic]

Walk to Urias

[Ironman92]

No franchise has had more success with 310 lb first baseman than the Brewers

[Griffey012]

Oh I’d bet good money he’s saying it perfectly

I never noticed it until I was trying to figure out why he kept saying it that way.

[Roy Tucker]

"virtually no power, but he has 7 bombs this year....":dunno:

I had the same reaction. Whhaaaat?

[Kc61]

You can’t jinx an approach.

You can only jinx results. No comment on the Reds’ hitting results.

Lauer pitched him pretty dang well that AB. Every pitch was on the fringe.

Lauer looked really good that inning, hopefully he hasn't settled in suddenly. This ump seems to have expanded his zone a bit too...

Yeah, if he gives Vlad a few of those pitches the last inning he may have held them without a run.

[Kc61]

Suarez is helpless

I’m sure the coaches have diagnosed it. But he just seems still to be pulling off the ball.

The position of his head and body are completely different when he does make good contact. Much more contained, not flying open.

[JaxRed]

Lauer is one of the slowest workers I’ve seen.

Should have seen me before I retired.....

[podgejeff_]

Nice pick Votto.

[Ironman92]

Good play…glad Farmer/Votto sealed the deal

[coryfly]

Nice smooth inning there.

[VR]

Much better Vlad. Would be nice to see him get through 6

[Ironman92]

If they were, it would be to the 44" Waist x 30" Length crowd

Jesus had some more height to him than Prince and the current

[podgejeff_]

Let's not forget about CC. Not a first baseman but still.

Fatball.

[757690]

Was that two pitches, two outs?

[coryfly]

Man, he has not worked hard the last few innings. Less than 20 pitches combined the last two innings I think.

[757690]

Jesus had some more height to him than Prince and the current

I mean, Prince was a musical genius and legend, but comparing him to the Messiah is bit much.

[mbgrayson]

Lauer out of the inning on 6 pitches. Reds helping him stay in the game.

[podgejeff_]

Wow was that a gift strike.

Thanks ump!

[TheBigLebowski]

Nice Vladdy Daddy

[KeefeCato]

Vlad has really impressed me. I thought he would be bad. 40 MPH winds blowing in first start. I figured he would get hammered start 2 and beyond. Really happy to be 100% wrong.

[Griffey012]

Vlad has really impressed me. I thought he would be bad. 40 MPH winds blowing in first start. I figured he would get hammered start 2 and beyond. Really happy to be 100% wrong.

I was really concerned about a team seeing him for a second time, especially with this quick of a turn around.

[InsaneinthBrame]

I see our announcers trying to peddle the BS that we are the smallest market. Pushing the owners BS.
The Cincinnati maybe a small TV market/metro area, but the Reds real market is much bigger because of regional sports networks. The reds have one of the largest online followings and highest ratings of TV telecasts

[KeefeCato]

I was really concerned about a team seeing him for a second time, especially with this quick of a turn around.

He just keeps getting the job done. He has a place on this team for sure.

[coryfly]

Lauer is really hitting his spots now. He was nowhere close earlier.

[KeefeCato]

Reds are 2-4 so far vs. Brewers all at home. So they have 8 more road games with them after tonight and only 3 home games. They have yet to see Burnes or Woodruff and will not see either this series. Really need to take 2 of 3 here. Split in SD and Min. That gives them a 5-4 trip. That would not be bad at all. Of course you hope for better but I think everyone would settle for a 5-4 trip.

Sadak "getting the whole broadcasting gang to dance along to the Miami Valley Gaming in game commercial" is about as #hailcorporate as you can get.

[podgejeff_]

I really don't think Lauer's comfortable pitching from the stretch.

[Ironman92]

Let's not forget about CC. Not a first baseman but still.

Fatball.

Well also had Richie Sexson and Corey Hart…and Josh Hader can hula hoop with a cheerio

Well, he made contact.

Another nice outing so far from Vlad. Seems like once he settles down he rolls along pretty well.

[VR]

Much needed innings from Vlad. Now get through the 6th and we'll start praying.

[Big Klu]

That is probably the best of those four choices.

Actually, Sadak's answer was the best. Unless you are interacting with these guys on a daily basis, it's hard to just hang a random nickname on them.

That is a big checked swing call there. Caught a break there

[adkindo]

Jesus had some more height to him than Prince and the current

There has been a long debate on how tall Jesus was.....but the range of discussion is 4'6" (3 cubits as described in a letter to Emperor Theophilus bishops) to 5'6" (average height of males in the region at the time based on skeletal remains) ;)

I liked him leaving him in there as well. Get that batter or if not then yank him. Fantastic job by Vlad.

[Playadlc]

Nice outing.

[BCubb2003]

In Hollywood they’d be Winkellanos or Castellinker.

[membengal]

On an up note - Bell being forced to push the kid because the bullpen is a flaming pile of poo might have some benefits - especially since he keeps meeting the challenge.

[VR]

I don't think Vlad is interested in giving up his spot in the rotation.

[Larkin Fan]

Another nice outing by Gutierrez. Nice to see him gut out those last few outs.

[Griffey012]

Bearded Bombers ftw

This one is pretty solid, and the others seemed desperate

I’m not saying your wrong to point out the BS. However, where are you getting the largest online following bit?

[KeefeCato]

Need runs many runs so this bull pen doesn't blow a great start by Vlad.

[Rojo Rijo]

Another solid outing for the impaler

Really starting to like this Vlad guy. Great outing from him, Reds need to hold the fort now.

What an auspicious start to a career through 4 games.

Yeah, I know a guy with the Lookouts so hear some about their guys but not really anyone from Louisville except for what I see on Twitter. Seems from on here people weren't really that high on him. He has definitely been about as good as anyone could have hoped so far.

[KeefeCato]

If anyone haven't you should go vote for Castellanos and Winker for the all-star game.

[Ironman92]

Bearded Bombers ftw

I don’t like it for the fear they’ll start trying for HR…..like Suarez

How about Gorgeous Gappers….they can stay pretty and hitting liners

[Reds Freak]

It seems like Votto's average should be way better than .231 this season with the way he's hit.

Not a coincidence

Without looking but didn’t they have a 3 game win streak when Joey came back?

Edit: after looking they had won 4 straight before he returned….lost 2 of 3 with him and now are rolling and he’s been a big part from that 5 hole. All is good right now

[Roy Tucker]

I used to think Hembree just dawdled on the mound too much. But he has the same little routine that he goes through with every pitch. Even has a torso twist in it.

[The Operator]

That was a pretty pitch with some nice tailing action for strike 3 there by Hembree.

Unexpected guys stepping up and regardless of the reason Bell stayed with Vlad….I like it

Getting surprisingly great performances from unexpected places has a very 2010 feel to it. And I can dig that.

More insurance I hope

It was the right move and I would say it had it not worked. Need to get these starters going deeper into games. Less innings for any pen to cover is always better.

[Playadlc]

This would be such a good win.

Hold on guys.

They’ve put us in the position to remain hopeful

[The Operator]

We need someone to pitch the 8tj before we worry about the 9th, John....


:laugh:

Strickland looks like he isn't even trying and throwing 95...must be nice

[Rantly]

As good as Hembree looked I would have let him at least start the eight.

[The Operator]

That’s a base hit!!!!

[Redsfan5]

No challenge?

I thought it looked weird and maybe a trap

[The Operator]

Wow how did they not challenge that

[coryfly]

How would a challenge there work? He could have possibly thrown him out but didn't even attempt to because of the call so would he just be safe?

[Reds Fanatic]

A long foul ball by India

[AG Slater]

Is the NL central best division in baseball? Maybe AL east.

Garrett coming in for the 8th…

Feels nice to have a legit leadoff hitter again.

[Ironman92]

Sadak giving some actual thoughts and ideas about the game….I like that. Show you know the game and have followed it. When he’s with Larkin he seems like he’s just the voice guy and has no thoughts of his own

[Reds Fanatic]

3 hits for India tonight. Him batting leadoff has been one of the keys to this team

[757690]

Sadak really loves this Joel Sherman idea of only 5 time outs per game per team.

I hate it.

Who are these base stealing Reds?

[WVRedsFan]

I kept waiting for a challenge on the Naquin trap. Apparently Bell doesn’t understand the Gas can is going to pitch.

[Reds Fanatic]

India steals 2nd. How many games have the Reds had multiple steals in a game

[mhs95_06]

I think that due to the point you raise, the rule is you cannot challenge a ruling that a ball caught by an infielder in the air was trapped.

[Big Klu]

The Reds have two stolen bases in the same game?

[Griffey012]

Sadak really loves this Joel Sherman idea of only 5 time outs per game per team.

I hate it.

If it is really a combo of mound visits and challenges (pitching changes not included) I don't see it being a big deal and kinda like it.

I don’t think that was reviewable
