Nice to get the loss scheduled earlier in the day. Also fun to see the Reds facing a LHP for a change.


To be blunt, lets hope the Reds can make the Padres hopes of a sweep go up in smoke.

[RedTeamGo!]

Told you Voit wouldn't get the start today. Someone owes me $10.

Hey Ron! I merged your thread with KLW's. He beat you to it today.

[757690]

This lineup looks more like if the lockout continued and the owners started using scab players.

[NebraskaRed]

In no way do I think JT Riddle is "good" but we know what Moran is and it's really not good. Why not let him start at third?

But I guess that's replacing one bad thing with another, so what does it matter.

[Ron Madden]

#Reds make moves official:

• Place C Tyler Stephenson on the 7-day Concussion IL
• Recall C Mark Kolozsvary from the ML Taxi Squad

Kolozsvary was on the West Coast with the Reds already

#Reds manager David Bell this morning: "My only concern is our players. I don’t concern myself with anything like that. My concern right now is just Tyler Stephenson. He has a concussion. We’re going to keep a close eye on him in the next day or so."

Also: "I thought it was an illegal slide. That’s why I challenged it. To my eye, it was an illegal slide. Our catcher, Tyler, was injured on the play. That’s why I challenged it. I thought it was an illegal slide."

[mth123]

Someone I wasn't even thinking that Drury was an option. Why isn't Drury starting at third?

He's already in the line-up though. I think finding options to play in place of Moran and Aquino should be priorities number 1 and 2. When India returns, I'd play Lopez at 3B and Drury in the OF and cut Aquino.

Seeing video of Pham's comments now.

At the very least, Pham is interesting. The Reds always seem to have cornered the market on personality-free players.

Interesting the Reds are facing Gore, who was taken one pick after Hunter Greene. It will be fun to watch the two make their way through the majors in their rookie year.

Home run Castellanos!!!

I’m sorry but I feel if any of our ex-pats homer during a Reds game/broadcast it should be announced in here - just on principle.

[KeefeCato]

Should be about time for the Padres to make a error or three.

[JFLegal]

what it is, pham!

[NebraskaRed]

Pham keeps hitting. Let's hope this continues after they leave San Diego

[klw]

Wow none of the Reds hitting 3 through 8 have an average over .171!

[KeefeCato]

Pham didn't homer in the first. Only a single.
Does this mean they don't score a run today?
Or it could mean game will go different than the first two and they get a win.

Who has the better season in your opinion. Winker or Castellanos?
I'd go Castellanos. Based on home ball park and lineup. Phillies have a better more experienced lineup.
Seattle has a exciting young team though.

[JFLegal]

I would, but you didn’t say please.

Given the head start, I’d say Nick especially with the park advantage - though we can look at stats that account for the ballparks.

[NebraskaRed]

From 3-0 to a strikeout for Aquino

[KeefeCato]

Why is Moran playing against a LHP?

[icehole3]

Moran over matched.

[JFLegal]

i've never seen a player live off of one lucky month longer than aristides aquino

[NebraskaRed]

Royce Lewis, the number 1 pick that year, just started in AAA this year. He seems to be doing well, so far.

[RedTeamGo!]

The Reds are facing a LHP every game for 2 weeks and Aquino has struck out a million times and has like 1 hit.

I mean, what else does the FO need to see here?

[NebraskaRed]

Moran looked so slow there.

[JFLegal]

Why is Moran playing against a LHP?

not being sarcastic: because we have the worst roster in MLB (not if we were healthy, but right now we do ... which i suppose also answers my question about how is aquino still on this team? can't be the worst team in MLB without guys like moran and aquino getting a lot of PT)

[klw]

whoever gave Aquino the greenlight to swing on 3-0 should be fined.

even though he's left-handed, bring up ronnie dawson from louisville. former 2nd round pick by the astros. mashing at louisville.

ok, hadn't checked stats in a few days. OPS is now .820 range. was over .900 last time i looked

[LeatherPants]

When there are 13 guys on the IL and when you trade off (or allow to go as a FA) you’re going to have bad players on the roster. It shouldn’t come as a surprise.

[KeefeCato]

For all the hate Aquino gets and rightfully so. Lopez is not a major league player either. I know he seems to be the new flavor off the week. But he is overrated. The more he plays the more he will be exposed for a fraud.

[JFLegal]

even though a lot of us give him a hard time, great having senzel back. i'm still holding out hope this will be his breakout year

I think he would make contact more often than not. But mostly weak contact with zero power. Lots of weak groundouts.

[TheBigLebowski]

He’s no Joe Morgan, but I have been pleasantly surprised at the amount of solid contact he makes. You can do a lot worse for a 25th/26th/27th/28th man.

However, I happily concede that we could easily upgrade.

[JFLegal]

I think he would make contact more often than not. But mostly weak contact with zero power. Lots of weak groundouts.

yes, a lot of people got overly excited about his hot start in the minors last year. he was always a decent (not great) minor leaguer before those 2 months. he's JAG (just a guy).

[JFLegal]

love vlad's poise and moxie on the mound. if he gains more command as he gets more experience, he could be a very solid #4 starter IMO. just knows how to pitch.

I think the Reds need to make the adjustment. Just say goodbye to Aquino. Pham, Fraley, Senzel and Friedl can man the OF. Naquin should be back soon.. So should India and maybe Solano. No reason for Aquino to be on the roster after this week-end.

Obviously it can’t be that bad but everything about this season is making me think of that year where the Orioles suddenly lost like 115 games and the one two years ago in the pandemic where the Pirates hitters all had OPS’ in the .500s. Just a black swan event of monumental suck.

Didn't realize Friedl was up, Oh he K's.

[Tom Servo]

Castellanos 3-4 with a HR and a walk for the Phillies today. Must be nice having him on your team.

A legit good AB by Moran

Not as nice as having payflex.

Moran heating up.

[LeatherPants]

Just wait for 2028!

[Tom Servo]

A legit good AB by Moran
I'm convinced the guy is perfectly cromulent as a DH strictly against RHP and as a pinch hitting bench bat. So of course he's out there starting at 3B and getting nearly half his ABs against LHP. Just so stupid.

[mhs95_06]

Moran heating up.

2 for 3 and 2 feet from an RBI!

[NebraskaRed]

Garcia out. Bell really enjoys living on the edge with his catchers, doesn't he?

I think that's a bug, not a feature

[Ky Fried Redleg]

This group playing today - this specific lineup - might be the most helpless one I’ve seen.


The 1982 Reds played and lost to the Atlanta Braves on this day in '82 by a score of 4-2. The Reds dropped to 3-9 on the season while the Braves improved to 12-0.
Eddie Milner and Frank Pastore combined for 6 of the 9 Reds' hits in the game. LOL

Here was the starting lineup for the '82 Reds on that day 40 years ago:

1. Milner (OPS / 1.071)
2. Driessen (.609)
3. Cedeno(.615)
4. Concepcion(.720)
5. Bench(.544)
6. Biittner (.804)
7. Oester(.707)
8. O'Berry(.684)
9. Pastore( .500)

Today's starting lineup w/ OPS :

1. Farmer (.768)
2. Drury(.883)
3. Pham(.609)
4. Votto (.372)
5. Senzel(.278)
6. Aquino (.258)
7. Moran (.307)
8. Lopez (.393)
9. Garcia (.556)

[Mitri]

This team is absolutely atroicious.

[JFLegal]

Garcia out. Bell really enjoys living on the edge with his catchers, doesn't he?

he's probably thinking along the same lines as most of us. "hell, at this point, who even cares?"

[westofyou]

It's the best Louisville has to offer

[Tom Servo]

I think that's a bug, not a feature
I know they're scrounging for bodies but Bell was starting Moran against LHP in spring training too, I think he or the front office has got a bizarre blindspot on this one.

[JFLegal]

worst reds team of my lifetime for sure.

and buddy, that's one hell of a high bar.

[NebraskaRed]

As if this game wasn't over already, it's definitely over now.

[westofyou]

That team actually led the NL in BA and doubles by the end of May. Yes I know BA. But they actually had hitters who could make contact. They just had no power. The 1982 team is the BRM compared to this garbage.

I’m rooting for Friedl and Lopez but even these 2 are not making contact. At this point the hitting coach needs to be questioned about what type of approach or game plan is being applied to the approach here.

[NebraskaRed]

I've said this before but I'm surprised Zinter isn't getting more heat. I don't blame him, necessarily, but the hitting coach always takes heat when a team hits so poorly like this.

[WildcatFan]

Castellanos 3-4 with a HR and a walk for the Phillies today. Must be nice having him on your team.

I can’t get over how bananas that thread was.

[Boston Red]

Two hard hit balls this inning. Outs, but it's about as exciting as it gets for this bunch.

So three catchers/1b between O’berry, Driessen and Bench...Do you know who played where in this game?

In their prime, both Larry Biittner and Cesar Cedeno were pretty good hitters.

[WildcatFan]

Trying to teach this team to hit is like trying to teach cats to do your taxes.

[malcontent]

I assume he didn't report and skipped the country with his 21 million?

[Boston Red]

Baseball Reference says Bench played 107 games at 3B in '82. Caught in one game.

[WildcatFan]

I read he’s been trying to find a decent plane ticket but keeps striking out.

[Rantly]

In their prime, both Lary Biittner and Cesar Cedeno were pretty good hitters.

Cesar unfortunately really sucked when with the Reds. He was awesome in his prime at Houston.

[NebraskaRed]

If I were the Padres, I'd let a position player pitch the 9th just to see if the Reds could do literally anything. And I bet they wouldn't!

[Rantly]

Wasn't Bench playing 3B by that point?


Probably...

[Tony Cloninger]

In their prime, both Lary Biittner and Cesar Cedeno were pretty good hitters.

Cedeno looked HOF bound between 1970-77. He was only 19 years in his rookie year.

[Rantly]

Baseball Reference says Bench played 107 games at 3B in '82. Caught in one game.
Interesting! Don’t remember but guessing his range was less than ideal.

[mth123]

So three catchers/1b between O’berry, Driessen and Bench...Do you know who played where in this game?

Bench was the 3B in 1982

[NebraskaRed]

Strickland sucks

[Tom Servo]

Strickland sucks
Yeah and the Reds are going to release him and he'll go back to Milwaukee or somewhere and pitch lights out. I know it in my bones.

[Ky Fried Redleg]

So three catchers/1b between O’berry, Driessen and Bench...Do you know who played where in this game?

O'Berry caught, JB manned the hot corner , and Driessen played first. Btw, the game that I highlighted was actually April 19, 1982.

The Reds lost on the 20th to go 3-10 and the Braves improved to 13-0.

[Tony Cloninger]

This is 1989 Orioles bad.

[Ky Fried Redleg]

Trying to teach this team to hit is like trying to teach cats to do your taxes.

My cat pissed all over my taxes this year. I guess that kinda counts as doing my taxes.

[Ky Fried Redleg]

I hope this fecal matter doesn't rub off on the Bengals come September.

[Tony Cloninger]

If it works for those Billionaire business owners/CEO’s who can avoid paying on theirs

[NebraskaRed]

Strickland sucks

Still sucks

[WildcatFan]

This Padres team is dirty.

[Ky Fried Redleg]

Cesar unfortunately really sucked when with the Reds. He was awesome in his prime at Houston.

Yep, in his prime he was top notch. Seemed to always KILL the Reds when he played for the 'Stros.

[TheBigLebowski]

This is a solid baseball team. Really sound in all aspects of the game.

[Ky Fried Redleg]

Unlike those billionaires, I still sent mine in with the cat piss. LOL

[TheBigLebowski]

Got it to a very manageable 6 run deficit in the 9th. All you can do is put yourself in a good situation to win each night, and this group always does that.

"Just gotta keep doing what we've been doing" - Bell after the game, probably

[VR]

Certainly there has never been a Reds team 10+ games in that had so many pitchers with an over 5 ERA, and so many hitters with a sub-200 BA. Just plain crazy. It has to be historically crazy.

Never joke about your taxes.

"Mroszak spent one year in federal prison for tax evasion.[8] He was arrested after saying on the November 9, 2004 Howard Stern Show that he did not file a tax return in many years and would not resume filing until the U.S. government cured his Gulf War Syndrome. An IRS employee happened to be listening and reported him.[9] Mroszak pleaded guilty to tax evasion in federal court in December 2004, and was sentenced to one year in prison and ordered to pay his outstanding taxes."

[kaldaniels]

From a “baseball trade” aspect, I think I could argue that one of the weaker links (he’s a young prospect so he’ll get better) on the Padres right now, CJ Abrams, would be more valuable than the entire Reds lineup today.

[Titanicstruggle]

Someone let me know when the season is over. I can’t watch anymore of this ****.

Cedeno was accused of murdering his wife/girlfriend when he was a Astro. He was found not guilty.
Yeah Milner, a Aging Bench, Cedeno and Driessen. With Concepcion better than this turd lineup they are sending out in 2022. They better all get healthy and get healthy fast or they have a legit shot at beating those 101 losses from 82.
