Farmer could have 2 broken wrists and he would still start at SS.

Considering who else is on the 26 man roster, who else should play?

[texasdave]

Sonny Gray has been scratched from his rehab start tonight due to "back issues". It has been very tentatively rescheduled on 6/26.

Sonny Gray is throwing at GABP off flat ground with high intensity. A good sign.

[JaxRed]

Farmer could have 2 broken wrists and he would still start at SS.

Over last 15 days, Farmer has a higher average and OPS than Castellanos.

[JFLegal]

saving sonny for the games that count, perhaps? and he might have a tight back. both things could be true. (he's on the IL with a groin strain not a back, which i feel is perhaps good news).

Sonny has been dealing with back issues since last year, though. I ruined my back about 6 years ago picking up a reel of industrial cable. I wake up with back pain like 10% of days. He will never be the same, it’s why I wouldn’t have been upset if they traded him last offseason.

i also have a bad back. old baseball injury where i mis-timed my steps around third base (fill in sexual joke here, but i'm serious). have been to chiropractors. refuse to get back surgery (i have an inflammed disc, one chiropractor called it a ruptured disc). i'll go weeks with it being fine. then i'll hurt it doing something like ... sleeping.

it's touch and go for sure with lower back injuries.

so, with sonny, my point is we know he's going to be dealing with back strains popping up from time to time. i'm just glad he didn't re-injure his groin.

[RedTeamGo!]

I’d go to an actual doctor, chiropractors are quacks. A physical therapist from the cleveland clinic suggested to me by a medical doctor saved my life. I tried going to a chiropractor first and I’ll say until the day I die he made it worse. My back was so bad, I couldn’t hold my infant son while standing up. Worst time of my life.

I was recommended to go to a chiropractor years ago. I wouldn't say he made my condition worse, but he didn't make it any better either. Then I went to a physical therapist, and they got me right.

The games that counted weren't on the field, they were the game of chicken the Reds lost in January when they failed to sign an actual SS and let their top 2 relievers go without any return. They also let Disco dance away. So Gray is just the icing on the cake.

[KeefeCato]

Better score a bunch of runs in this one.

[NebraskaRed]

Jeff Wallner
@JeffWallner

#Braves manager Brian Snitker said Charlie Morton will be given an extra day. Sunday's starter is TBD.

[757690]

Officially a bullpen day for the Braves. Unofficially one for the Reds.

[NebraskaRed]

So the Braves have a bullpen day for today's game and a spot starter (I'm assuming) for Sunday's game.

In theory, that benefits the Reds, but we all know how this goes.

[mhs95_06]

As someone predicted, Sims to the IL with a sprained elbow. Bringing the position player back that went down last to get an extra P.

[KeefeCato]

Never seems to go how we feel it should. I would think they should at least be able to split this series though. Hope to see Antone and Brach a bunch. That usualy means they have the lead. I would go as far to say Brach for closer spot. If they plan on using Antone for more than one inning. I trust Brach.

[Rantly]

Considering who else is on the 26 man roster, who else should play?

Yea, who currently is there as the backup SS? I guess Suarez but who plays 3rd? Is Freeman the only utility infielder and if so why was Heineken recalled.

[WildcatFan]

Give me an Atlanta series missing Fried, Morton, and at least one game of Acuña.

Go Reds.

[Tom Servo]

I saw Freddie Freeman wasn't having a quite a typical Freeman year but that didn't fool me, I know this story.

Solo HR Freeman

[AG Slater]

Bought Bats tickets to watch Sonny and of course he isn't pitching. Nice way to get a bunch of people to come to game to watch crap. Bats are already down first inning. BS move by the Reds organization. No word on why Gray isn't pitching

[WildcatFan]

Give me one missing Freeman too, please and thank you.

[The Operator]

Freddie Freeman absolutely demolished that. Ouch.

1-0 Braves

[Tom Servo]

Like taking batting practice for him facing Santillan.

I hate to break it to folks, but like some of us have been saying for years now - santillan = bullpen or whatever.

Sounds good to me!

[Tom Servo]

I hate to break it to folks, but like some of us have been saying for years now - santillan = bullpen or whatever.
I agree, but not because he gave up a HR to Freeman. I also think he could potentially be good out of the pen.

He's not nothing but he's not really ready to face the Tatis' and Freemans' two-three times in a game.

[The Operator]

Riley came pretty close to making it 2-0 but Naquin hauls it in

[Norm Chortleton]

Umps checking Santillan's hat as they go to break [emoji849]

[AG Slater]

Update...Michael Mariota is pitching he is trash. 5-0 first inning zero outs

[The Operator]

India leadoff double!

[AG Slater]

He's hurt man, chill.

Nope not gonna chill. He was slated to pitch and the park is packed because mostly they thought Gray was pitching. I brought family out and payed money. Now they are getting killed

[Reds Fanatic]

Leadoff double for India

[RedTeamGo!]

[757690]

If India didn’t have to keep his helmet from flying off, he might have had a triple

[WildcatFan]

India might be for real, y’all.

[RedTeamGo!]

Nope not gonna chill. He was slated to pitch and the park is packed because mostly they thought Gray was pitching. I brought family out and payed money. Now they are getting killed

Yes, they should have forced Gray to pitch injured

[WildcatFan]

Would you like him to have pitched anyway?

[The Operator]

Nope not gonna chill. He was slated to pitch and the park is packed because mostly they thought Gray was pitching. I brought family out and payed money. Now they are getting killed

I think you’re overestimating how many people are gonna go to the park specifically to see Sonny Gray pitch.


It’s more likely that it’s a nice night, people finally feel safe again and all that stuff.

[RedTeamGo!]

Is your family wondering why you are angrily typing on your phone?

[The Operator]

Winker walks

[WildcatFan]

[The Operator]

Wild pitch moves them over

2nd and 3rd, no outs for Cast

[The Operator]

Sac fly, tie ballgame

Winker also advances to 3rd

[757690]

When my family moved from Ohio to St. Louis in 1978, we bought tickets for an Expos/Cards game way ahead of time, right behind 1B, to see Tony Perez play. The only reason why we bought tickets. After waiting months for the game, we go and find out that Tony Perez is not starting that game (day after a night game) and didn’t even pinch hit.

[Tom Servo]

Very nice this is exactly what you need to be doing to a basically washed up guy like Chavez

[WildcatFan]

I clench up every time Winker tries to make a play on the basepaths. Good job getting to third though.

[Tom Servo]

oof Joseph, what was that

[The Operator]

Dang he paints the corner on Joey


2 outs

[DocRed]

Considering who else is on the 26 man roster, who else should play?
That's my point....it's a woefully constructed roster.

[WildcatFan]

Three perfectly located pitches.

[Tom Servo]

Dang he paints the corner on Joey


2 outs
He never took the bat off his shoulder, don’t know what he was waiting for.

[Wonderful Monds]

Yes, they should have forced Gray to pitch injured

He’s got a left arm, put him on the mound NOW :angry:

[The Operator]

Damn he suddenly morphs into Greg Maddux and paints the corners on two straight guys.

Tie game 1-1 after 1 full.

[Tom Servo]

Should have gotten that 2nd run in. Hopefully they keep the pressure on this Braves pen though

[Kc61]

Never saw Votto take three strikes like that.

[The Operator]

He never took the bat off his shoulder, don’t know what he was waiting for.

Yea I’m not saying Joey had a great AB, I was more commenting on the fact that the dude suddenly started throwing with pinpoint accuracy.

[NebraskaRed]

That was some Jekyll and Hyde pitching from Chavez

[markusarrow]

you have to score that run gheee

[AG Slater]

Your missing the point. That was a ploy from a cheap ass Reds organization knowing damn well the profits they were gonna see from misinforming people. If they would have said he wasn't going to pitch in advance wouldnt be a big deal to me. Tired of of investing into a **** hole organization

I knew Gray was missing his start tonight by noon today. It was all over the place…

[WildcatFan]

“Not trying to do too much.”

Drink!

[KeefeCato]

I keep hearing Santillan to the bullpen when Gray returns. But would he be a improvement to what is there?

[mhs95_06]

Three perfectly located pitches.

Nevertheless, a cardinal sin by Joey by taking 3 pitches in a row that were in the box when the lead run on 3rd with one one when a hit wasn't necessary to get him in and a walk wasn't going to get him in either.

[Stray]

Can't watch on mlb.tv since the Braves are the local team here. So far I'm enjoying the Braves broadcast, they're quite good.

[coryfly]

Tough pitches on the corners to Votto but two of them seemed like the same pitch. Not something you see Votto usually do there.

[Redsfan5]

Can we trade Jim Day for Kelly Crull

[NebraskaRed]

Geno gave the opposite of Votto's AB

[NebraskaRed]

Glad they're making Chavez work...

[Tom Servo]

Glad they're making Chavez work...
You don't always need good results to have a solid AB, the Reds have a way of accomplishing neither quite regularly.

[HammerTime]

I’d have to check the numbers but Freeman has to be top 10 on all time Reds killer list.

[mhs95_06]

Nope not gonna chill. He was slated to pitch and the park is packed because mostly they thought Gray was pitching. I brought family out and payed money. Now they are getting killed

That' why I like to choose going to games instead of weddings and graduations, because I'd rather be in doubt about what is going to happen!

[Reds Fanatic]

4 Ks for Santillan

[TheBigLebowski]

Samta looks better thus far tonight. Still don’t see dominant stuff but if he can improve command of his fastball he has a future as a #3/4.

[Tom Servo]

This start already turning out better than Santillan's start out in San Diego.

And now he shows them how it's done with a leadoff double!

[Reds Fanatic]

Santillan with his first hit. A double to left

[KeefeCato]

You realize Gray was going to pitch a whole 2-3 innings right? Park should be packed for Greene not Gray. You can see Gray pitch live in the majors.

[Reds Fanatic]

That is it for Chavez

[Stray]

Love how India made sure to hit that to the right side

[Kc61]

Santillan with his first hit. A double to left

It’s his third game, by now he should have hit a triple.

[Tom Servo]

boooooooo

[coryfly]

He didn't even have time to really run.

[Reds Fanatic]

He didn't even have time to really run.

Exactly Larkin is so bad at this

[membengal]

He didn't even have time to really run.

Right? Is Larkin high or something?

[membengal]

Larkin: “what if a sniper takes out freeman, what then?”

[NebraskaRed]

Winker should have started running before he even hit the ball. Everyone knows that.

[757690]

He didn't even have time to really run.

Yes he did. He was standing in the box staring at the play, before the ball even took one bounce. Larkin was 100% right on this.

[coryfly]

[Coopdaddy67]

Infield hit for Votto. Speed kills.

[coryfly]

Good things can happen when you put it in play. Nice job by Votto.

[NebraskaRed]

Votto spent the last two days pounding energy drinks.

[Tom Servo]

Still leaving too many runners on but glad they managed to get the one run there

[Reds Fanatic]

Good cutoff by Castellanos there. 1st and 3rd

[wally post]

Larken: "blah blah blah"

[Reds Fanatic]

Big K. 6 Ks for Santillan

[membengal]

That’s really good stuff from Santillan.

[TheBigLebowski]

I love that. He really stayed poised there. Good stuff. Made excellent pitches when he needed them.

[BCubb2003]

Santillan escapes the haunting walk.

[Kc61]

I like Santillan. He’s a work in progress, control can be erratic, throws too many pitches.

But the fastball and breaking pitch seem quite effective.

Not sure if he winds up in rotation or pen, but over time I think he’ll improve and eventually be quite good.

[Tom Servo]

Real nice work getting out of the jam by Big Tony

[Bourgeois Zee]

I think he's probably going to end up an effective multiple inning relief arm.

That has more value now than it ever did, IMO.

(I think that's the likely role of he, Antone, and Gutierrez, fwiw.)

[coryfly]

Yeah, that was a big play.

Could be. Might depend on Reds’ needs over the next year or so. Also might depend on how Tony holds up throwing 90-100 pitches.

Seems to have the stuff to be a MOR starter, but jury is clearly still out.

[Reds Fanatic]

Suarez to 2nd on a wild pitch

[Reds Fanatic]

Walk to Barnhart

[Bourgeois Zee]

Could be. Might depend on Reds’ needs over the next year or so. Also might depend on how Tony holds up throwing 90-100 pitches.

Seems to have the stuff to be a MOR starter, but jury is clearly still out.

I think his stuff will play up in the 'pen similarly to Antone's.

I also question whether he has enough control to keep hitters honest more than once through the lineup.

But yeah, it'd be much better if he could be a true MOR guy.

[HammerTime]

Oh good another Farmer at bat in a big spot.

[membengal]

Watching him dominate, I’m not thinking pen, fwiw.

[Bob Sheed]

Wink and Cast OPS's coming back down to Earth.

[757690]

Santillan is looking good, but this is a weak Braves lineup. The one good hitter has hit a HR.

[coryfly]

Winker hammered two balls with nothing to show for it.

[Kc61]

Santillan is looking good, but this is a weak Braves lineup. The one good hitter has hit a HR.

It’s his third major league game.

Sorry if he hasn’t perfected the art just yet.

[NebraskaRed]

Did not realize until now that Tanner Roark was with the Braves.

[WrongVerb]

I know I'm late to the party on this, but after listening to Larkin, in no way can we let him become manager. He'd be awful.

[membengal]

(A reds fan dares express some small bit of happiness)

(A warning siren blares in 757690’s house)

(With a heavy sigh, 757590 thinks “time to go to work” and fires up the computer…)

[coryfly]

That's tough there. Cruising through the inning and lose a guy you had 0-2.

[goreds2]

This inning is starting to go down hill with no brakes.

[757690]

I know I'm late to the party on this, but after listening to Larkin, in no way can we let him become manager. He'd be awful.

It’s extremely rare that a naturally talented ball player makes a good manager.

[Reds Fanatic]

Great start by Santillan

[coryfly]

Nice job getting through it. Great outing for him.

[NebraskaRed]

Sometimes Larkin offers up an interesting point of view, sometimes Larkin says stupid stuff. What are you gonna do.

[Kc61]

Quite a good night, over 100 pitches, six full innings, leading 2-1. Yay.

[Bourgeois Zee]

Great start by Santillan

Yup.

[Alabama Red]

Someone should have been waiting for him at the top of the dugout steps with an ice cold beer.

[coryfly]

After that first AB they thought they could just throw the ball anywhere and Saurez would swing. Proving them wrong.

[Bourgeois Zee]

Someone should have been waiting for him at the top of the dugout steps with an ice cold beer.

He's from Texas. He's got a beer hidden under the rosin bag on the mound.

[Reds Fanatic]

Geno beat the throw to 2nd but Barnhart out at first

[NebraskaRed]

One thing I don't like about Sadak is that he sometimes makes pronouncements about the game that he doesn't need to.

Saying that the Reds are completely in control of this game? You know that's going to lead to the Braves taking the lead.

[Reds Fanatic]

A lot of wild pitches tonight

[membengal]

He said it felt like they were in complete control but that it was only 2-1.

[coryfly]

My boy is a huge Braves fan and told me this catcher wasn't any good. Not sure if these cross ups or mistakes are on him some or all on the pitcher.

jfc. if antone isn't good, this bullpen will go from 30th in MLB to like 30th in MLB (but even worse lol)

Votto with his trademark matador defense. Should have left Garrett in with only 8 pitches in his inning.

[Larkin Fan]

Crap. This is getting uncomfortable.

[Reds Fanatic]

Hit to right. 4-3

[Bob Sheed]

Dammit Votto! Don’t give me the “olay” crap!

[The Operator]

what has happened to our antone?

I’m hoping we’re not witnessing the lack of sticky stuff here.

[JFLegal]

now even antone sucks. we are so screwed.

[mhs95_06]

Looks like the good effective periods of Antone and Sims are over for the season due to arm ailments.

[Larkin Fan]

I’m hoping we’re not witnessing the lack of sticky stuff here.

I am hoping it has more to do with just coming back.

would explain him going from no-name to lights-out ... to back to whatever he is right now.

Sadak- “what do you throw here”?

Me: up

[Larkin Fan]

Walk to load the bases. Just peachy.

[Reds Fanatic]

Walk. Bases loaded.

[JFLegal]

antone just walked a dude that is near-impossible to walk. holy hell. nothing is easy with this team.

Double play gets the Reds out of the inning with the lead

[Kc61]

Not sure why Antone is still in the game.

Looks rusty but hope Tejay comes through.

[Alabama Red]

Just going to leave him in.

[coryfly]

Really surprised he is just letting him pitch. He clearly doesn’t have it.

He's gotta throw it in the zone first.

[JFLegal]

jeez, was that first pitch like 3 stadiums outside?

[Tom Servo]

I just knew all the talk about how happy the dugout was after the Castellanos HR on commentary was gonna lead to something bad.

[Reds Fanatic]

Antone is fooling no one tonight

I don't think the sticky stuff added 6 MPH to his fastball
