[cumberlandreds]

Votto goes for 7 in a row tonight! Be sure to tune in early. I like Suarez and Shogo at the end of the lineup. It's about time.

[wvreds]

Suarez finally in the bottom third. Need Sonny to get back on track.

Baez may be a Met before 4pm so there’s that.

Edit** He is now a Met pending medical…

[AG Slater]

Now I'm back to being confident every Castillo start and not confident in any Gray start. He has been bad lately

[Ironman92]

Reds will win despite 75% of the game thread’s posts will be negative.

[Ironman92]

I’ll say it….the Reds have been winning and great on offense BUT NOT relying on the HR. Yea Votto is cranking them but Winker lacing doubles, India, Farmer, Stephenson, Barnhart all hitting singles…..to win in NY they’ll need to keep that approach. No one is really swing for HR sans Suarez.

If they are swinging out of their shoes for HR it’s going to be a deflating series……but if they keep hitting it where it’s pitched with pretty good approaches….we could be a talked about team.

[adampad]

Really hoping Sonny returns to form. Reds need him more than anyone right now.

Baez becoming a Met is gonna be interesting. Gotta be retaliation time right? First day or second day as a Met, how will his new teammates react to Baez getting smoked in the back? Just hope none of the Reds get suspended unless we got another scrub reliever that is about to get sent down. What would really be weird is if one of the new guys hit him.

[Redsin4]

Lorenzen back for tonight.

[HammerTime]

C. Trent Rosecrans @ctrent

#Reds activating Michael Lorenzen, Tony Santillan is optioned to AAA Louisville

- - - Updated - - -

I know this team keeps hitting, but they really need Moose and Senzel back.

[Sassy Sal]

Lorenzen back for tonight.

I have a feeling he won't be used as a PH then subbing in RF this time.

[HammerTime]

Charlie Goldsmith @CharlieG__

David Bell says Mike Moustakas will play mostly third and maybe some second base on his rehab assignment.

[Ironman92]

Santillan down because of options or deemed worst pitcher in the pen?

I trust him more than a couple for sure.

[reds44]

Pretty much confirms Geno is getting benched or at best platooned

[Ironman92]

In 3 weeks we’ll play a series with the Cubs….and it’s going to feel weird.

[Ironman92]

Pretty much confirms Geno is getting benched or at best platooned

Lol who does he hit well?

[davereds24]

Pretty much confirms Geno is getting benched or at best platooned

Don't doubt David Bell's ability to put him back at short.

[Ron Madden]

The Mets lineup has finally been added to the original post


Stupid Mets

[Larry Schuler]

If you think the Reds will lose today, delete your account and never return.

Signed,
all the believers of the wishbone C

[AG Slater]

So every team it seems in the NL even the cards went out and got some players and the Reds got 2 mediocre bullpen guys? What about a 3rd baseman or another starter? No commitment. Even being over .500 this time of the year for the Reds is rare

[AG Slater]

Guess the Reds are relying on Senzel and Moustakas to come back and be good.

Kudos for coming up with a new bit so quickly after having to retire your Votto hobby horse.

[AG Slater]

New bit? Nope Votto is actually playing well. He wasn't for a long time and I was just calling what was true. He wasn't preforming up to his standards I'm sure even he would admit. Just stating the Reds once again don't seem to be quite committed. Now that Votto is elite once again I can move to Suarez or the pitching.

[KeefeCato]

Santillan down because of options or deemed worst pitcher in the pen?

I trust him more than a couple for sure.

It should have been Hoffman first for Lorenzen then Doolittle for Sims. Then if Antone ever gets back Whoever was doing worse between Brach and Santillan should have gone.
No surprise it was Santillan though like you said options.

[KeefeCato]

Pretty much confirms Geno is getting benched or at best platooned

Bad thing is if he platoons with Moose. Suarez has actually hit LHP worse than RHP this year.

[Rantly]

If you're committed to the truth, then the Reds got 3 relievers.

Then look at which NL teams didn't do much of anything despite your claim that all of them did.

And the moves the Cards made were pretty laughably bad.

Just for sake of the truth.

[KeefeCato]

Cardinal rotation has been decimated with injures. So they went out and picked up two middling starters. Some of that was out of necessity.

[Tom Servo]

India!!! :jump:

[NebraskaRed]

Well, that was fast

[757690]

Welcome to New York, Mr. Carrasco

I bet the New York crowd just finds it adorable when small market teams like Cincinnati get something right.

[KeefeCato]

I hope Gray is healthy.

[dakota42]

Well Sonny off to a bad start.

[Tom Servo]

single and an RBI double down the line and the game's already tied

[AG Slater]

Sonny Gray....more like Cloudy Gray lately

[REDREAD]

Remember when it was rumored that the Reds were going to get Nimmo for Bruce? Too bad that didn't end up being the deal. Not complaining, just one of those "could have been" scenerios.

[Red Raindog]

Less than optimal Sonny to start

I really thought he was heading for the IL

I see Hoffman throwing multiple innings. The bats better score some runs.

[Sassy Sal]

So who is going to be the long man tonight?

[TheBigLebowski]

Probably best that he walked Alonso.

[Tom Servo]

well this is going about as bad as possible

[Tadasimha]

If he really feels okay physically than he needs to get whatever is in his head cleared and bear down quickly

[Reds Fanatic]

Something is not right with Gray

[TheBigLebowski]

So who is going to be the long man tonight?

New pickup John Silver

[Larkin Fan]

Did Sonny not get the memo that we are trying to win?

[757690]

[AG Slater]

Don't worry Sonny will change his clothes after giving up 5 in the 1st.

[Sassy Sal]

Bell has to know that they cannot afford to forfeit games before they start. If he continues to get shelled I don't see how they can't IL him.

[AG Slater]

If this is the case they will need minimum 10

[TheBigLebowski]

Kinda makes you wish we would have added a pitcher.

Sounds strange to say, but you have to hope Sonny’s injured. If this is his best effort healthy, he’s dunzo.

[Red Raindog]

Lucky to get that pitch back

Same guy that plays Suarez every game. I mean every damn game

[Falls City Beer]

I think it’s time to replace Gray with Lorenzen. For the rest of the year.

Heck yeah. About as good as that could go.

[dakota42]

Double play!!

[Tom Servo]

Yesiree! Nice recovery for a guy who is crap and was going to give up 5 runs in the first.

[mhs95_06]

Mike would be on the IL after 2 starts.

[Tadasimha]

Nicely done

[podgejeff_]

Great job to get out of that Gray.

[AG Slater]

Huge DP. Just the way she likes it

[Falls City Beer]

They need a fresh, healthy arm.

[Sassy Sal]

Nice pick me up for Sonny.

[TheBigLebowski]

That’s what we needed

[Falls City Beer]

Mike would be on the IL after 2 starts.

Pick your poison. So is Gray.

[Larkin Fan]

I am afraid the world is going to end... Gray is not right and Votto did not blast a homer in the first.

[Sassy Sal]

Heck yeah. About as good as that could go.

You ain't kidding. Was getting that real bad feeling.

[TheBigLebowski]

I think it’s time to replace Gray with Lorenzen. For the rest of the year.

I don’t think Michael Lorenzen is who you seem to believe he is.

[podgejeff_]

I am afraid the world is going to end... Gray is not right and Votto did not blast a homer in the first.

And Kyle Farmer is now valuable somehow.

Everything is just weird right now.

[mhs95_06]

Yes, I think he is holding back some to protect his back.

[Falls City Beer]

I don’t think Michael Lorenzen is who you seem to believe he is.

No world beater. Obviously. But I prefer him to Santillan. Gray is one pitch away from the IL.

[Tom Servo]

Naquin will be more effective deployed off the bench if Senzel can come back.

[VR]

About 8 missiles off Gray that inning.

[mhs95_06]

Right on the seam!

[Tom Servo]

Yes, I think he is holding back some to protect his back.
That was my thought when Welsh pointed out the pitches he was trying to get up only getting to the middle, definitely seems like he might be holding back a little.

[podgejeff_]

That looked so routine until the ball just willed itself over the defender.

[Sassy Sal]

Some Jedi sh** there.

[TheBigLebowski]

Lorenzen vs Santillan? That’s a good question.

But Lorenzen v Gray is the instant discussion, and unless Gray’s injured, to me it’s a no brainer.

I’ve never been impressed about anything Lorenzen other than his pipes.

[mhs95_06]

That was my thought when Welsh pointed out the pitches he was trying to get up only getting to the middle, definitely seems like he might be holding back a little.

I remember Sonny talking 3-4 weeks or so ago that his most important thing was to stay healthy.

[TheBigLebowski]

It’ll be interesting to see the roster shuffle when Sims and Moustakas return.

I’m glossing over SenZIL as they’ve decided to save time and just roll him out to CF in a gurney.

[coryfly]

Lorenzen vs Santillan? That’s a good question.

Yeah, the best part about Lorenzen coming back is that he can simply push a really bad arm out. He isn't some ace out of the pen. He definitely will provide some value.

[Tom Servo]

don't exactly get how you foul a bunch of pitches off and then whiff on a fastball right down the middle

[NebraskaRed]

Got some Terrence Malick-esque sunset lighting going on

[coryfly]

Made him throw some pitches at least. Let's see if Gray settled down.

[Sassy Sal]

Tojo gonna get it together before the year ends, I predict.

[mhs95_06]

Because his mindset changed, as he was fouling off pitches and gaining some confidence, from staying alive to 50 hrs!

[podgejeff_]

The Cubs without Rizzo and Bryant will be weird.

Here's hoping they never do that whole "winning baseball" thing again.

[NebraskaRed]

Tojo gonna get it together before the year ends, I predict.

What's with the "Tojo" remark?

[coryfly]

His misses right now just aren't close though. If he can make them a little more enticing to these hitters he can get things going again.

[NebraskaRed]

Brewers down 4-0 at the end of the first inning. So maybe the Reds should go ahead and win this one.

[Redsin4]

Our front 4 of our lineup today is very good.

Problem is our back half of the lineup isn’t very good at all. Barnhardt hasn’t hit well in weeks outside of the big go ahead hit yesterday. Suarez and shogo haven’t hit all year. And Naquin hasn’t hit well since may.

We’re going to either have to hope gray gets it together and limits the Mets O or that our front 4 can generate a lot of O.

[Wonderful Monds]

Dang that DeGrom news is a huge bummer

[TheBigLebowski]

If Nick Senzel and Byron Buxton debated the commoditization of sub-prime mortgages, with each participant in a vacuum-sealed vinyl bubble, does either survive the debate?

[JFLegal]

sonny gets lucky to get out of the first inning with only 1 run.

starts the second inning with a hit to a bad hitter

[coryfly]

Fortunate there. Have to take advantage of it.

[JFLegal]

Krall had a pretty poor answer when they asked him on the radio broadcast why he isn’t up yet basically.

Missed it. What did he say.

[Ironman92]

Caught up to live play…

Sonny took time but he managed through snd is rolling now.

India en fuego

Sadak and the camera guy have to be related

Just a bunch of a crap about learning how to run the bases and the nuisances of the game then went on about examples that only apply to pitchers.

He isn't getting called up this year. At least I don't think so. Senzel is supposed to play some SS in Louisville. So he will take Freeman's roster spot. Moose will play 3b he will take Schrock's spot. Farmer will be and should be the starting SS rest of the season. Really no room for him now.

Not the most nuisanced of responses

[Larkin Fan]

We better get Gray out of there and replace him with Lorenzen for the rest of the season...

Still have no clue why Lopez gets zero run. He was killing it with the Bats came up had some hits then vanished into thin air. Too much damn loyalty to Suarez

I like Farmer, but this hot streak will subside and he will turn back into the super sub he likely is. They should be proactive about the situation, not after 4 weeks of him cooling off IMO.

This is history folks.

He's trying to homer now.

Loyalty = money.

And Eugene is a good defender.

I’m as frustrated as anyone, but he’s going to play.

[Tom Servo]

Votto! :jump:

[adkindo]

he does it again....Votto HR!

[AG Slater]

Damn that guy is Elite

[Ironman92]

Lol he’s trying!…and doing lol

[RedForLife]

[NebraskaRed]

Votto has been unreal

[Tadasimha]

Vottomus Prime!

[Wonderful Monds]

Gray is looking much, much better. Joey will hit a homerun later too.

I called it.

[Reds Fanatic]

Joey Votto! Amazing

[Larry Schuler]

That’s it. Votto deserves a nickname after this historic streak. From now on, I’m going to start calling him Vottomatic.

[AG Slater]

Deepest part of the park. Nice

[Larkin Fan]

Joey Votto is elite. Just sayin'

[757690]

Tomorrow Joey Votto will get a chance to tie the MLB record of hitting a home run in 8 straight game. The last MLB player to do that was Ken Griffey jr

[podgejeff_]

Only Joey Votto just decides one day "I'm gonna just start hitting home runs every game" and does it.

And then trolls the crowd.

Dude's going in the Hall.

[Ironman92]

The last 3 years he was more like Ichiro and many said Ichiro could’ve hit a lot of HR had he tried…..well Votto is trying

[coryfly]

Votto is just ridiculous. Assume he definitely heard the overrated chants with his reaction there, lol.

[Ironman92]

Look out Dale Long

[Wonderful Monds]

We might honestly owe an apology to whoever it was years ago who started that “Votto should choose to hit more home runs” thread

[KeefeCato]

Joey Votto is elite. Just sayin'

Not ELITE Over payed. Should be benched and Stephenson should be starting at 1b.

[Ironman92]

Kevin Mench lol

Largest ever helmet

[Kc61]

I can’t remember anything like this Votto streak in baseball.

This is the point when guys like Votto are supposed to be tailing off in their careers.

Really a wow performance this last bunch of games.

[podgejeff_]

Oh wow, Joey Votto matched what Kevin Mench did?

Who'd have ever thought that?
