Charlie Goldsmith @CharlieG__

No Kyle Farmer in the lineup today (he has started in 24 of the last 25 games). The Reds are facing a left-handed starter, and Mike Freeman is left-handed.
Suárez is the only other experienced shortstop on the roster right now, and he’s back at that position.

[Ironman92]

Obviously don’t mind Farmer out of the batting order and also don’t like Suarez at SS. Hopefully things continue well! Lineup looks strong but baseball doesn’t always care about that.

Go Reds

[reds44]

oh i like this

[Ironman92]

Wondering why Lopez is batting 14th but it’s all good

[Ron Madden]

Bobby Nightengale @nightengalejr

Joey Votto:
"I mentioned this last year, I mentioned it in the offseason, I mentioned it before coming back, I’m confident I’m going to play well. The adjustment, I think, is real.” Votto has reached base in 20 of his last 23 games.

[JFLegal]

let's go. fly another W redlegs!

- - - Updated - - -




it's real ... and spectacular. (replying to ron's post about votto above.)

[Bourgeois Zee]

That's a fun lineup, right there.

Might get no-hit, but the lineup looks really strong top to bottom.

[JFLegal]

if castellanos hits a HR into the waterfall with sadak dropping a slur on live TV, i will lose it.

[Bourgeois Zee]

Votto's last month: .295/ .374/ .534/ .908

Were he to have done that over the course of the entire season, it'd be the second-best offensive season amongst National League 1B and fourth overall (behind Guerrero, Muncy, and Chapman).

[AG Slater]

Wish this game woulda been at 4. Aren't aa lot of people off work today?

[Ron Madden]

Wondering why Lopez is batting 14th but it’s all good

Maybe David Bell thinks Lopez can get on base for the top of the lineup to drive in.

[Ironman92]

Maybe David Bell thinks Lopez can get on base for the top of the lineup to drive in.

He had like 9 hits his last game….I’d like runners on for him lol

I don’t need reasoning….just win

[KeefeCato]

Yes but Votto is overpaid and no longer elite.

[Big Klu]

Most people I know are working today, unless they have a government job or work for a bank.

The guy is playing better obviously, but you guys still thought he was Soo good when he went about a year and a half batting u der .250 and never hitting for any power

[AG Slater]

No it's not.

[DocRed]

Interesting initially they had India in the lineup and Suarez out when I checked on MLB.com earlier today

[KeefeCato]

India scratched with ankle soreness.

[Ironman92]

Hope it’s just a good decision to scratch for the day off as it’s a bit more sore than expected and he’ll be back tomorrow or next day.

On that play it looked Ike both ankles got a little bit extra movement.

He could play but no reason too if too much pain

[davereds24]

Knowing the Reds history with injuries this India thing will last til the break. Sure hope it's just 1 day. Bell needs to take advantage of the DH and get his stars some rest. Good move with Winker, hopefully Castellanos and Votto next.

[Ironman92]

Merrifield is a very good player. Santana seems to kill us. Perez has 20 HR….wow. Solver has been Suarez awful so hopefully he stays quiet. Taylor a talent but has never been very good….but he always seems to have a game or two against us.

[Big Klu]

No it's not.

It isn't? Most people I know aren't working? News to me.

[Tom Servo]

Top of the Royals order is a bit intimidating, 4-9 not as much.

[Bob Sheed]

Sadak and the Cowboy on the TV side tonight.

[Kc61]

Lineup is ok but why rest Farmer against a LHP? Reds face so few of them and Kyle has traditionally hit them pretty well.

[NatiRedGals]

Brew crew 1-0 homer

[Tom Servo]

Lopez grounds out...Bell ruined him.

[NatiRedGals]

Because they play him.all the time should have gave him rest against a rh

[Kc61]

Because they play him.all the time should have gave him rest against a rh

Tomorrow Reds face TBD. I think he’s right handed.

(Joking)

When will the TV crew get to travel with the club to road games again?

[Ironman92]

Not a HR park….it’s a big park. Hit it hard somewhere

[Ironman92]

When will the TV crew get to travel with the club to road games again?

When stadiums are full….we, when there are no hospitalizations….we um

Who knows

[Bob Sheed]

When will the TV crew get to travel with the club to road games again?

When it's cheaper to travel than to stay home.

Well considering they dress them in $12 polos….you might be right

He’s done it in his own. He refuses to go oppo and is now Johnny Gomes

[Tom Servo]

Royals gave Hunter Dozier an extension this last offseason which struck me as a very weird move. Everything about his 2019 screamed fluke and unsurprisingly he's been bad ever since.

[Ironman92]

Welsh got to travel and Brantley stayed in Cincy.

Better ice cream in Cincy

[mhs95_06]

He'll always be one of my favorite Reds personality-wise.

But he's lost up there.

He got the run in though after surviving the possibility of being called out on strikes the pitch before.

[SomeCallMeTim]

Vlad seems to be getting nice movement on his breaking pitch tonight…

[Reds Fanatic]

3 Ks for Gutierrez

[Bob Sheed]

Better ice cream in Cincy

Well, Cincinnati is the Ice Cream Capital of the world... I pride myself and think of myself as a man of faith, as there’s a drive into deep left field by Castellanos and that’ll be a home run, and so that’ll make it a 4-0 ballgame.

[Tom Servo]

3 Ks for Gutierrez
Doing a good job of taking advantage of KC's terrible plate approach.

[mhs95_06]

He has options let him go to triple a and be geno again or not..but you get the point

I don't think that will help. If he started to hit again, I don't think he'd be able to come up and do well due to the difference in quality of MLB pitching vs AAA. I92 is right, he needs to go oppo, taking pointers from Castellanos and Winker, and this is the park with all that area to get started on it.

[Tom Servo]

Naquin robbed

[Big Klu]

Better ice cream in Cincy

Yeah, but better BBQ in KC.

[NebraskaRed]

Their new podcast, Snake Talk

[Tom Servo]

I know he's only playing due to India's injury but it's still kinda strange to me that Freeman gets a start when he's almost certainly a goner with Max Schrock's impending return. Reds have done this before too, a generous parting gift to these guys?

[Reds Fanatic]

Lopez hit that well but lines out to center

No, I think it's just that India is scratched (what's wrong with him, anyway?), and Farmer really needs a day off. Freeman is hitting 9th, so no big deal.

I don't think so as Schrock is not listed on the depth chart as a SS, only the other 3 infield positions.

[Reds Fanatic]

Leadoff double for Lopez

I92 is right, he needs to go oppo, taking pointers from Castellanos and Winker, and this is the park with all that area to get started on it.

Right field will be his friend, if he'll let it.

[Reds Fanatic]

Yes radio crew is making all road trips now. But Bally is cutting costs not having the tv crews travel

[mhs95_06]

So the radio crew got to go to KC?

I think they've been traveling for a while, and TV stays home, and Larkin does not do away games from the studio.

[mhs95_06]

Castellanos didn't play that can of corn fly well, should have tried to get more momentum behind the throw.

[Tom Servo]

No, I think it's just that India is scratched (what's wrong with him, anyway?), and Farmer really needs a day off. Freeman hitting 9th, so no big deal.
Ankle pain from that play with Baez yesterday for India. Couldn't they have kept Suarez at SS like they originally penciled in and given Shogo the 9th spot in the order?


I don't think so as Schrock is not listed on the depth chart as a SS, only the other 3 infield positions.
Freeman only got the call up when Schrock got hurt, I think they switch back when Schrock is deemed healthy.

They needed someone to play an infield spot.

[JFLegal]

vlad's fastball tops out at 93. which would be fine if he was a college pitcher. but he is somehow a major league pitcher.

[Big Klu]

How are you getting Shogo into the lineup in your scenario? The opening is at 2B. With India being scratched, you have to go with an infielder -- the only options would be Farmer or Freeman.

[Big Klu]

[VR]

According to Gameday, not 1 of the 6 pitches to Winkler was in the zone. Wonder if he's pressing a bit.

[Tom Servo]

didn't realize Jesse's line against LH pitch has gone back down again so much this year, just .189/.294/.243. Still wouldn't sit him, but maybe he should bat lower against them.

At least he has three games in KC where he can just DH.

Yes, but the lead-off walk was the worst of all.

True. Vlad should feel lucky to get out there with only 2 runs over 6.

well, this is where the winning streak will likely end. reds appear dead in the water ... as there's a deep fly ball to left field by castellanos and that'll be a home run. and so, that'll make it a tie ballgame.

[Reds Fanatic]

Brewers just lost and they get DeGrom tomorrow night

[Bob Sheed]

Brewers lose, 4-2

[BCubb2003]

Even Votto didn’t think that was a ball.

Bacon?

[Big Klu]

I think he's quietly good in CF, and certainly better than Nyquil and Aqui? No!

Honestly, I think the best defensive OF in the organization is Michael Lorenzen.

[mhs95_06]

Naquin in the right place in the order if the double play can be avoided.

[SomeCallMeTim]

Votto walks. 1st and 2nd. Pitching change

Normally one should feel optimistic about our chances to take the lead.

And yet…

[Reds Fanatic]

Geno crushed that pitch!!!

Looking straight out to the middle of the diamond.

Not the wild, pull swing of earlier in the season.
