[CaiGuy]

Want a series win really bad here, so they might as well and try and win the first one.

[KeefeCato]

This won't be a easy series. Marlins as usual have some good young talent. And there rotation isn't bad.
Reds will need to play well.
I like Naquin at 2nd. At least while he is on a hot streak.

[Ky Fried Redleg]

I predict a couple or three cans of corn from Ekim Sakatsoum. Hopefully, he accidentally runs into a hanging something that fails to slide or curve.

At the plate, he's looked like Buford Pusser clubbing the hell out the guys at the "Lucky Spot" saloon. Go EKIM!!!

[redsfan9988]

I like Aquino 8th. He will draw some walks from that spot and turn the lineup over. I’d also have Aquino in CF and Naquin in LF, but whatever.

I feel like the Reds need 3 of 4 here - even though the Padres are struggling. A losing home stand would be very disappointing against these clubs. Most of MIA’s value this year has come from their young pitching. We won’t see Pablo Lopez or Trevor Rogers. Sandy Alcantara in game 4 will be tough - especially since the Reds hit .00001 as a team in day games.

If Naquins at 2nd, where would India play? Sorry, but with the way this team shuffles positions, I had to check...

[redsfan9988]

AUGUST 19: Cincinnati manager David Bell told reporters (including Mark Sheldon of MLB.com) this afternoon the team does not expect Winker will be ready to return when first eligible next Thursday. Bell didn’t provide any specifics as to when the Reds do believe Winker can make it back on the field, although he noted that the 28-year-old hasn’t yet begun baseball activities.

[Fil3232]

It’s a shame the handling of Farmer is going to make me like him less than his very important contributions this year should merit.

[Ron Madden]

The Reds are 32-29 on their home turf. Cincinnati is hitting a collective batting average of .252 this season, led by Nick Castellanos with an average of .313.

The Marlins have gone 21-40 away from home. Miami's lineup has 122 home runs this season, Jesus Aguilar leads the club with 22 homers.

Castellanos ranks second on the Reds with 52 extra base hits and is batting .313.

Aguilar leads the Marlins with 106 hits and is batting .265.

LAST 10 GAMES: Reds: 4-6, .241 batting average, 4.67 ERA, outscored opponents by five runs

Marlins: 4-6, .262 batting average, 6.93 ERA, outscored by 10 runs

[KeefeCato]

Not good. I imagine we are looking at Sept 1 at the earliest then.

[JP321]

If the Reds hit like they are capable of I love our chances tonight

[Ky Fried Redleg]

Based on the numbers of the last ten games, it looks like a pretty even series.

I'll give our gentleman in Red about a 19% chance of sweeping these four and about a 59% of winning this series. (yes, I did some probability math)

[DocRed]

Reds are a -310 favorite...a sure win!!

[DocRed]

It’s a shame the handling of Farmer is going to make me like him less than his very important contributions this year should merit.

I like the idea of Barrero in CF and Farmer at SS so long as he continues to hit some.

That only leaves about 20% to account for a split, which I'd guess would be more probable than that!

[DocRed]

Senzel is back on the IL. More issues with his knee.

Fluid on his knee...alright this could be really bad for his career unfortunately. This leads me to believe he has some significant traumatic arthritis in his knee. Hope I'm wrong...

[Ron Madden]

C. Trent Rosecrans
@ctrent

OF Nick Senzel has had his option reversed. He was seen by multiple doctors this week and he had fluid on his surgically repaired left knee. He was optioned Sunday. That option will be reversed. He'll go to Arizona for rehab while on the (big-league) IL

"He deemed himself healthy for five days prior to coming back," Reds GM Nick Krall said. "At the end of the time, he was not healthy. He was trying to push through it and didn't want to say anything. We had him see the doctor and he had fluid on the knee."

"Our goal is to get him healthy," Krall said, "not push through this."

Basically, it's as if the option was never used. It's like the transaction never happened.

Senzel had "multiple" medical opinions, Krall said.

[REDREAD]

Diamondbacks continue to help us. They beat the Phils in a day game.

Brewers put Freddy Peralta on the IL due to shoulder inflammation. 6 man rotation didn't prevent that!

[Tom Servo]

Reds need to hammer Nick the anvil Neidert

[Boston Red]

-285 now. Uh oh!

[Tom Servo]

Jesus Aguilar with good numbers in 2019 and 2020, I thought the Brewers had prematurely given up on him because of one down half-season. But apparently Rowdy Tellez is suddenly Babe Ruth so I guess they're doing ok now at 1B.

[DocRed]

-285 now. Uh oh!
Which means there is money going to the Marlins which I don't disagree with LOL

[Ky Fried Redleg]

No, by the model I used, there is a 30% of a split in this series. Roughly, 58.5% chance the Reds win the series(win three or four); 11.5% chance the Reds lose the series(win none or one).

Was Anderson ROY a few years ago? I know he has had a lot of injures since.

[coryfly]

Saw where Senzel is back out with the knee. Dang.

[Tom Servo]

no but he got some votes, I think he started off insanely hot and cooled off as a rookie. But he's a solid player.

Cast GIDP. Really need him to start stepping up...

[KeefeCato]

Naquin on fire. Picking up where Farmer left off. That is what you need to win. Teammates picking each other up.

[JP321]

Castellanos really struggling.. need MVP Nick to re-emerge

[KeefeCato]

Saw where Senzel is back out with the knee. Dang.

Yeah. I was thinking he would get traded this offseason. Failed/often injured former prospect type of swap. Looking like he would have little trade value now though. I doubt he ever plays anything close to a full season. Not his fault.

[KeefeCato]

Castillo can look nearly unhittable to one batter. Next guy up hits rockets.

[mhs95_06]

Senzel is back on the IL. More issues with his knee.

Sounds like Senzel's not being straight forward about his knee still being a problem cost Freeman his roster spot!

[KeefeCato]

Castellanos really struggling.. need MVP Nick to re-emerge

I didn't figure he would keep up his pace even before the wrist. But any chance he had of keeping the pace was killed by the Brewers. They took off after Nick went down and haven't looked back.

[Tom Servo]

when the Reds offense is going bad they're not only not getting on base but they're making these outs with amazing speed.

[coryfly]

Great approach here. This dude has only thrown 15 pitches in two innings.

[Ky Fried Redleg]

At least Moose didn't pop it up. That's a start, I guess.

[JP321]

Reds look like a team desperate for a day off. Can't remember our last one

[Ky Fried Redleg]

Why are they so agressive against a walk machine like Neidert?

[Tom Servo]

August 2nd, it's been a long stretch. But off day Monday, got to power through and take care of business against these guys.

Not shocking, but bad news nonetheless. Intercostal strains are tricky.

Yikes. 3 weeks without a day.. that's rough. I agree they gotta find a way to plow forward, but that is definitely affecting the offense imo

[TheBigLebowski]

This group can pivot between looking like WS contenders and beer league softball rejects on a dime.

And good to see Mousse still locked in. He’s 1 for August.

The whole team is flat at the plate the last 3 games. Hopefully that switch flips in 3...2...1

[757690]

I wish Sadak would get it over with and just kiss Kyle Farmer already

[Tom Servo]

Barry clearly reading Redszone, suggesting Farmer 3B and Barrero SS.

[RedsfaninMT]

Ugly!

[Tom Servo]

man even if you're tired just go up there and rest your arms, take four pitches from Neidart and he'll probably walk you. Jeez.

[Larkin Fan]

Yeah, this aggressiveness against a pitcher like Niedert is baffling.

[Tom Servo]

all of 28 pitches for Neidart to get through 3 innings.

[coryfly]

That would be worth a try for sure. Anything other than Moose or Saurez needs to be considered for third.

He would rock that beer league, though.

Why throw the exact same pitch he rocked the first time?

That's indicative of a hitting approach travesty against this dude.

[Tom Servo]

That's indicative of a hitting approach travesty against this dude.
The Reds seem to take a once size fits all approach to hitting, which is a lot of early swinging. And it works a lot of the time. But you'd think, especially if you're going bad, that you might want to take a pitch here or there...

[Tom Servo]

Something good happens for the Marlins after they have a guy not swing at 4 balls, amazing concept.

[JP321]

Luis always seems to have an inning like this.. just loses focus

Am I the only one who thinks that hit by Farmer was going to be a triple??

[RedsfaninMT]

I thought so too. But no sense making the 3rd out at 3rd base. With acquino getting the intentional walk, they get India up to lead off. Good things happen when India leads off!

[Ky Fried Redleg]

Alright man we get it he’s fat

Career .250 hitter and career OPS in the 7's needs to come back more ready to play. I guess it's the 16 mil for those numbers that is more bothersome than the weight.

I think MLB teams over think decisions to move players up. They think they’re fragile little babies who will fall apart if they aren’t all stars their first year. He wasn’t ready last year and he didn’t do good. He didn’t quit, he realized what he needed to do and he did it. Sometimes you just have to throw them to the wolves. If he didn’t come up and fail last year he might not be where he is today.

For whatever reason The Marlins seem to play the fastest games in MLB. Under 3 hours tonight. They always seem to be under 3 hours.

JDV is a man on a mission.

He is willing this team to the playoffs. I hope we do it. [emoji120][emoji120][emoji120][emoji120][emoji120]

My first memory of the Wave was Krazy George (and his drum) leading the A's crowd in the Wave in the 1981 ALCS vs. Yankees.

First time I was in one was at Ohio Stadium in 1984. When Keith Byars ran for 274 yards against Illinois.

I watch several You Tubers. A bunch of them go to different stadiums to watch baseball games. For whatever reason the Wave is alive and well. Every one of the videos at some point the Wave breaks out.

Dusty would not approve of those base clogging walks.

I just saw him at a San Jose Earthquakes game.

I don't remember the first time I saw it. I just remember Marty calling it the dreaded wave.

Nice game all around.

I don't know. Castillo gave up a run. Might need to take him out of the rotation.

Dare I say, Cardinals currently 3 games behind the Reds pending tonight’s outcome.

[NCReds]

I live in NC and the Reds are a local team so I’m blacked out for every game on MLB.

Where about in nc?

2.5 now and just 1 game in the loss column. If the Reds don't make the playoffs, I'd say the Cards will. St. Louis is the team we need to see pile up some losses.

Agreed. Padres are teetering on the verge of done. Maybe their pitching can get right - but it hasn’t so far. Hold off the Cards and get ready for Scherzer/Kershaw.
