[mhs95_06]

Luis Urias (R)3B with a .364 avg in 11 ABs vs. Mahle shows to be in the #9 spot in the order.

[REDREAD]

well, I guess the people that wanted to give Votto a day off , wish granted.. I'm not saying it's good or bad, just a comment.
Woodruff is a tough pitcher, but Mahle has the talent to match his effort.
Obviously, Brewers have a huge advantage on offense.

[Ironman92]

Gonna increase our win total by 33.3% tonight

[Ironman92]

Reds are a team of 7-8-9 hitters [emoji2371]

[malcontent]

Lesse...Moose at 3B and Moran at 1B, or the reverse? Though that may be rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic.

Still, I think I'd go with Drury at 3B, Lopez at 2B and Moose to the bench (or to 1B, but then you lose Moran).

Moustakas at 3B is the cherry on top of this sundae, IMO, and should no longer be an option.

[Bungles4Lyfe]

Moose really should be DH, he’s awful on D. I guess we’re going to try and hammer out our money from him on both sides of the ball, winning be damned.

[malcontent]

Yeah, he's a natural DH. If he could only hit, that is.

[LeatherPants]

Votto has been placed on the Covid IL

[Ironman92]

So if Votto had been the catcher the last few days he could play today.

[0-2 Count]

Is Moran so bad at 3rd, you put Moose there instead? That's mind-boggling.

[Ron Madden]

@CharlieG__

David Bell said Joey Votto has not tested positive for COVID, but he did report symptoms today.

“We’re precautionary as far as being able to put him on that COVID IL, which is really a day-to-day thing,” Bell said.

[KYExtemper]

Yeah, I'm also puzzled at not using him in that role. Of course, he's not doing that well at the plate either...

[Sassy Sal]

I wonder if this is what MLB had in mind when they instituted the rule.

[wlf WV]

I would rather they move Farmer to catcher than use Kolozsvary again, and bring up a minor leaguer to play shortstop.

"Small hyperbole "

Definitely DH Moustakas. Ughhh. I feel that David Bell has been dealt a bad hand, but it sometimes seems like he doesn't know how to play his cards.

[malcontent]

Moose is on the loose.

[KYExtemper]

Oh lord...Please don't let this start again.

[VR]

4 2/3 Mahle is right on track.

Moran is way better than Moose at 1B.

[NC Reds]

Two scoreless for Mahle. He’s a bit too slider happy tonight.

The last time I watched a game they won... I have a little time this evening so I guess I'll watch another.

Did I miss anything?

[Ironman92]

Don’t see much of that out of Farmer

[NC Reds]

You missed putrid Reds offense.

[Ironman92]

Moose was being timed in the 60 yard dash before the game……he’s almost done

[JCM11]

60 pitches and 6 outs so far for Mahle.

Ball game: on the bright side Mahle's contract extension is getting cheaper by the start.

[membengal]

welp. 3-20 dead ahead.

[Alf_Red_E]

Don’t see much of that out of Farmer

Mahle throws waaayyy too many balls and gets in troble pitcing from behind

and BOOM

[Red Raindog]

Chances of scoring 4?

Right

3-0 Brewers as Adames homers to center

[membengal]

error, four pitch walk and then a blast. good stuff, reds.

[malcontent]

Mahle ERA a cool 6.66.

[Red Raindog]

I thought it might have skipped low on him but he should have caught it

I've always want te Reds to play their prospects earlier...

This year I'm getting my wish

[coryfly]

Is Adames good against everyone or just the Reds? Seems he always kills them.

[klw]

Mahle ERA a cool 6.66.

He has had a devil of a season to date.

[NC Reds]

More fastballs please. Mahle is the most mismanaged pitcher on the staff.

It didn’t bounce typical but MLB SS has to make it anyways

[Reds Fanatic]

Pham homers to right!

[membengal]

Pham doing a thing. At least we won't get shutout.

[JCM11]

Pham trying to carry this hapless offense.

[BCubb2003]

Phamellanos.

[Fil3232]

Pham sticks out like a sore thumb in this offense. And then you realize he’s a career .807 OPS/119 OPS+ guy and just laugh. We’re so bad right now.

He’s just a normal, pretty good bat. We used to have those!

[Reds Fanatic]

Moustakas! Back to back!

[Ironman92]

Can’t pitch lefties there lol

[JCM11]

That's the hardest hit ball I've seen from Moose as a Red.

[TheBigLebowski]

Sorry about that, Veronica….PHAMMY

[Red Raindog]

[mhs95_06]

Moustakas! Back to back!

Got his average up to .200 with a 4 bagger!

[KYExtemper]

Pham is finding his swing recently, which is a good sign. He'll be gone at the All-Star Break if he keeps it up.

[Bungles4Lyfe]

If Pham keeps this up we might be able to get something for him at the trade deadline, assuming we don’t try to dump Moose’s salary with him like we did with Winker and Suarez.

[Alf_Red_E]

81 pitches? Who is warming up?

[NC Reds]

Home plate umpire is awful.

[membengal]

81 pitches for Mahle. We're in the 4th. I never stressed about that with him in the past assuming it would get better as he got more experience but...it's not getting better.

[Alf_Red_E]

Overall, I'll take 4 innings like this... bloop and blast aside, but yeah, I wish he were more efficient and able to hang around longer

[Alf_Red_E]

45 pitches in one inning??? That's child abuse...

[JCM11]

Mahle has been awful this year.

[Banshee]

Ace Mahle's era up to a devilish 6.66. No bueno.

[Alf_Red_E]

Mahle has been awful this year.

how many walks/hits/strikeouts this game?

[membengal]

even when castillo gets back, and assuming he's his normal self, this team will struggle to win 55 games with Mahle as it's second best starting pitcher.

[Bungles4Lyfe]

Being terrible is a running theme with the whole team this season

[Red Raindog]

If Pham keeps this up we might be able to get something for him at the trade deadline, assuming we don’t try to dump Moose’s salary with him like we did with Winker and Suarez.

I would gladly do that

A solid 3 1/3 from the ace. Just can’t expect a workhorse like that to go the full 4 2/3 every start.

what was Mahle's pitching line?

[Alabama Red]

I think the Reds would sign up for 55 wins right now.

[durl]

The Reds' team ERA is more than double the number of team wins.

[Bungles4Lyfe]

what was Mahle's pitching line?

4 hits (1 homer), 3 ER, 3 walks, 2 K

Probably not accurate, not sure MLB.com is updated yet. Regardless, it’s bad.

[TheBigLebowski]

I’d love to see him dealt. He’s a finished product and doesn’t really have a place on a rebuilding team.

And if we don’t do it soon, he’ll have no value.

[Alf_Red_E]

Not enough lipstick for that pig... I missed the first 2 innings

[KYExtemper]

Pham is doing his best to get out of here ASAP

[Alabama Red]

I’m not sure how this organization can turn things around other than a change of ownership and years of rebuilding. There’s just not enough talent and player development in the organization to win a WS on a shoestring budget.

[Ironman92]

Note to self…..make more Moose is slow jokes

[Ironman92]

Pham is doing his best to get out of here ASAP

Another good month and he might get the call up to the big leagues

[texasdave]

The Reds have a shot at the NL record for most team strikeouts in a 9-inning contest. Houston holds that with 20. Reds have 13 Ks through 6 innings. Stay tuned, folks. There might just be history in the making.

[Ironman92]

Hoffman looked like a big league pitcher

[RedTeamGo!]

Ugh, I wish I was wrong about Mahle. He’s the starter that should have been traded this past offseason. Value will never be nearly as high again.

[WVRedsFan]

Ugh, I wish I was wrong about Mahle. He’s the starter that should have been traded this past offseason. Value will never be nearly as high again.Agree. He has the stuff, but it's like he loses concentration. Regardless, e's not the ace everyone thought e was. He just doesn't ave the head for it. Sad.

[Redsfan6272]

better trade him before his bat goes cold now with this mess!!

[Ky Fried Redleg]

Can't wait til that Pirates' series that's coming up. Finally, we get to see some real big league baseball!!! Should be one hell of a series.... or is it series from hell ?!?!?

[KYExtemper]

Ugh. Just NO hope, man. This is rough.

[mhs95_06]

Shift cost a run.

[texasdave]

If you have never caught a foul ball at a game, this is your year. GABP is going to be a ghost town this summer.

[texasdave]

I have this feeling that Big Klu is not going to have to update his Reds All-Time Home Run List very often this season.

[Redsfan6272]

3-20.. just wow!

[KYExtemper]

3-20.. just wow!

I mean, we could easily be 3-22 going into the Pirates series. Pirates have to the end of the line of the losing, right? Right?!?!?

[WildcatFan]

Ah well get em next time.

[Red Raindog]

Ah well get em next time.

I can just see people sprinting 20 yards to pick up a ball.

When can we begin discussing worst team in MLB history? 47 wins is the target to beat for 162 games, so we'll see.

Currently on pace for less than half of those wins haha.

[KeefeCato]

For the first time in a long time I never watched a pitch. That makes me sad that I am losing interest.
