Had to look up and verify that Ronnie Dawson is a real player. Thought maybe he was a guy off the street inserted in the lineup for publicity.

[HammerTime]

I know things are bleak, but that lineup is disturbing. Do you think the Brewers coaches just cracked up laughing when they got handed this lineup card?

[Danny Serafini]

When Topps gave him a card this year I figured it was just another in the long line of their guessing the wrong minor leaguer to go with and winding up with a weird card in the set. Turns out they actually had some foresight on this :laugh:

I know we joke about these lineups looking like spring training lineups, but this actually might be a lineup they used early in the spring.

[JFLegal]

dawson was a really good player at ohio state and was a second-round pick by the astros. was playing well at louisville this year.

I know we joke about these lineups looking like spring training lineups, but this actually might be a lineup they used early in the spring.

For as bad as these lineups are, and as much grief the FO has gotten, anyone has to know that these were never the intended lineups or even the intended backups going into the year. 3-21 sucks, but what we’ve been watching isn’t the team as it was designed. The Dodgers have more money than sense and they’d struggle with the same amount of injuries/sickness/drastic unforeseen underperformance the Reds have dealt with. Not that it was an amazingly designed team…but come on. We have to know that what we are seeing was never the intended product.

I haven't got this years heritage set yet. That is a nice looking card actually. I enjoy the heritage sets. 1973 is one of my favorite Topps sets. I really like the 73 Bench card going after the foul pop. Heard he hates it and refuses to sign it cause you can't see his face.

Thanks Ron for taking the time to do these. Looking forward to watching Greene today. At this point I am down to just watching certain players over the team as much. I really hope when Joey gets back he turns it around. He can't go out like this.

[CaiGuy]

I know we joke about these lineups looking like spring training lineups, but this actually might be a lineup they used early in the spring.

These lineups have health more like Sept lineups to me...just paying out the string with whoever is left standing.

[TheBigLebowski]

Grabbed Adrian Houser off my waiver wire for a spot-start today, so that means Ronnie Dawson and the Queen City Creampuffs are going to explode today. YW

Some of these players were not in the plan, true. But others were very much intended. Sanmartin, Gutierrez, Minor, were intended members of the rotation, either front line or depth.

Difference is the Dodgers would go get MLB help and not even blink an eye, as the Reds would claim players released and not even have depth

[SomeCallMeTim]

MLB.TV free game of the day.

I have to ask: Is this worth it even at that price.

I’m about to the point of wanting a pay-per-view option. Meaning of course that WE get paid for watching this mess.

Houser should not be in the pool in the first place. If it's a 12 team league anyway. Unless you have a team full of stud pitchers you might wanna keep hold of him.

I mean one of these days Hunter will go 6 scoreless. And then we’ll have a 50/50 chance.

[JFLegal]

tysteve! let's go!

[mhs95_06]

3-0 pitch to Pham was low, but called a strike, 3-1 still low but a swing, 3-2 was just up into the zone and Pham whacked into center for a hit -- great AB. Moose fails but Stephenson oppo for a single to take the lead. We'll see if they can hold the lead for longer than last night.

[JFLegal]

3-0 reds!!!

I believe that. That is SO Bench!

[BCubb2003]

Get a Moran, Brains.

[mhs95_06]

Moran makes them pay for allowing a SB with a 2 run single and 3-0 lead. Great inning on no errors and no extra base hits!

Today in Hunter Greene velocity watch, his first two pitches were 97 mph and 98 mph.

solo homer

[JCM11]

Greene is going to have to throw something other than a fastball for a strike. Every hitter is sitting dead red.

Greene throwing BP back to back bombs off his fastball.

[JFLegal]

JFC another homer

[NebraskaRed]

As predictable as it comes

[JFLegal]

roidhead yelich is back on the juice

[dakota42]

Of course.

[JFLegal]

now he's gunshy to throw his fastball

- - - Updated - - -

needs to back the batter off the plate. not seeing many inside fastballs from him.

four pitch walk. he's completely rattled.

[RedsFanInMS]

Hunter Greene must throw the flattest, straightest fastball in history. If he can't learn movement then he's nothing but a pitching machine.

[NebraskaRed]

Homer, homer, 4 pitch walk

[HammerTime]

Hunter Greene must throw the flattest, straightest fastball in history. If he can't learn movement then he's nothing but a pitching machine.

This has been debunked multiple times.

[JFLegal]

he also doesn't throw inside nearly enough. if you have a 100MPH fastball, throw that badboy inside. that will give the batters pause real quick

- - - Updated - - -


This has been debunked multiple times.

correct. it's not the lack of movement, it's his lack of throwing inside IMO

[TheBigLebowski]

You just can’t ever be excited about anything as a Reds fan.

Absolutely zilch.

[RedsFanInMS]

This has been debunked multiple times.

Then it's easy to pick up out of his hand. What else could it be?

[JFLegal]

this has turned into complete effery real quick

[JCM11]

Greene getting shelled. 99 mph is nothing without an off speed pitch to keep hitters off balance.

[TheBigLebowski]

This has been debunked multiple times.

He’s faced 3 hitters, the first 2 of which debunked those heaters in the cheap seats.

[RedsFanInMS]

this has turned into complete effery real quick

Just like this entire season

[KeefeCato]

Comical.

[JFLegal]

ok, you guys were right the 3-0 lead meant nothing. why do we do this to ourselves? i was actually excited about this game.

greene looks awful.

[membengal]

What's the record for taking a lead in the top half of the first inning but having it erased before recording an out in the bottom half of the same inning?

Isn't this the third time this has happened so far this year? Twice in San Diego and now today? It's amazing, really.

[Old school 1983]

Greene really needs to learn to pitch backwards.

[SomeCallMeTim]

This would be funny if it wasn’t my team.

Pretty said when you can’t maintain a 3 spot in the first.

[KeefeCato]

Greene really needs to learn to pitch backwards.

Yeah he has no clue how to pitch.

[SomeCallMeTim]

Greene really needs to learn to pitch backwards.

Towards 2nd?

It would save the middle man of the batter having to send it back.

[RedsFanInMS]

This has to be the worst performance from a starting pitching staff through the first 25 games in MLB history. Mahle's Opening Day start and Lodolo vs the Cards. The rest of the starts have been straight arse.

[JFLegal]

juuuuuust a bit outside

Yeah he has no clue how to pitch.

He's been "developed" by the Reds system. We've got a great track record with that.

[JFLegal]

look at these idiots. how do they not make a play there?

[NebraskaRed]

Brewers taking the lead in 3...2...1

[membengal]

Comical. Can we go back to spring training to work on catching pop-ups?

[JFLegal]

the bad news reds. what a complete joke

[JCM11]

Greene is all over the place. The more I see of this the more I think he needs more time in AAA to work on the breaking stuff. Of course no one can catch a pop up now just make the Reds forfeit all remaining games.

[JFLegal]

greene gets the K at 100 MPH though

[RedsFanInMS]

greene had one good one

Against Atlanta? That wasn't good. He left with a 5.40 ERA.

[Joeyjection19]

They would look better with red noses and clown shoes.

[mhs95_06]

At least Moose is moving much better than he was! Enough to get Stephenson to back off catching the ball!

[JFLegal]

this is stuff that would piss off a high school baseball coach. these are (supposedly) major leaguers.

[NebraskaRed]

The issue with the popups is curious.

Nobody paying full attention? Apathy?

[Redsfan6272]

The Reds are using that new technology to be able to hide signs but it makes me wonder if that's been hacked already. They can't fool any hitter

[50YrRedsFan]

I used to think anyone who made it to the bigs had to be a very good baseball player. Boy was I wrong.
Reds continue to find pitchers who can throw the ball through a wall, but they don't know where it's going. They need pitchers like Drysdale, Gibson, Marichal, etc, who knew
exactly where it was going. Sometimes right at the batter.

[KeefeCato]

He's been "developed" by the Reds system. We've got a great track record with that.

Right now he is just another guy who was hyped up in high school and throughout the minors because he could throw 100 past hitters. He can't throw a off speed pitch or a breaking ball for a strike. Book is out on him. Just wait for a fastball over the plate.

[HammerTime]

Then it's easy to pick up out of his hand. What else could it be?

Lack of location and secondary pitches.

[JFLegal]

Against Atlanta? That wasn't good. He left with a 5.40 ERA.

dodgers maybe? and that ERA vs atlanta was BS because they ruled a 2-run "double" on a ball that was clearly an error by senzel in CF.

greene really only gave up one earned run in that start if a little league mom wasn't the official scorer

[JCM11]

He looked better those last two batters, but it took 32 pitches to get out of the first.

[KeefeCato]

Against Atlanta? That wasn't good. He left with a 5.40 ERA.

Hey to be fair, a guy with a 5.40 is the ACE of this mess of a staff.

[JFLegal]

pretty good composure to come back and get those two Ks to end the inning

[Strikes Out Looking]

Outside of Mahle, none of the Reds starters should be Reds starters at this point. Some shouldn't be in the organization and some should be learning their craft in AAA.

[JohnnyBench5]

I believe that. That is SO Bench!I love that card!

Overton had a good start.

[Redsfan6272]

Why of late are our starters having to throw 30 plus pitches in the 1st inning???

[JFLegal]

Why of late are our starters having to throw 30 plus pitches in the 1st inning???

cause they suck and/or are rookies?

[RedsFanInMS]

Overton had a good start.

You're right he did. Probably the best start of the year.

[KeefeCato]

Some have been clamoring for Almora. Career .692 OPS. Basically Billy Hamilton. with a little more pop and less speed.

Good Gahle Miss Mahle has an ERA of 7. He deserves no special distinction from this coterie of glorified batting tees.

[KeefeCato]

Every team seems to be able to beat the shift. Except the Reds of course.

[Kc61]

Hunter just needs to keep mixing up his pitches, relying more on secondary stuff, and the fastball will play up.

It’s a devastating pitch unless you know it’s coming.

Really think it’s that simple.

[757690]

Greene seems to pitch better at around 98 instead of at 100.

[KeefeCato]

You're right he did. Probably the best start of the year.

Figure the Pirates will put Overton back in his place. AAAA I would guess is his place.

[icehole3]

If Moose plays short on the shift isn't that the same as putting everyone on the 2nd base side of the infield he has no range.

[CySeymour]

Good Gahle Miss Mahle has an ERA of 7. He deserves no special distinction from this coterie of glorified batting tees.

Perhaps, but he has very recent MLB success...as in the last couple of seasons, so he has at least shown he can pitch in the big leagues.

[Redsfan6272]

Figure the Pirates will put Overton back in his place. AAAA I would guess is his place.

Except the Pirates are playing better than the Reds and prb very anxious to play this team!!

[membengal]

Matt Brash is an awesome pitching prospect with the Mariners. Great first start. Been a rolling disaster since. Can't throw strikes all of a sudden. Making the transition can be hard. It is why dealing away vet pitchers and relying on kids as a plan was not optimal. There's growing pains associated with Greene, Lodolo, etc. Just is.

[KeefeCato]

Except the Pirates are playing better than the Reds and prb very anxious to play this team!!

Hence why I said the Pirates will knock Overton around.

[Redsfan6272]

Wow.. getting uglier every at bat

[HammerTime]

Welp that will be enough for me today.

[JCM11]

Greene is simply not big league ready. He needs better control of the fastball and slider, and he needs to develop a change up.

[Powel Crosley]

Every time I think we've hit rock bottom, it keeps getting worse. What is there even to hope for when your best prospect keeps having poor performances?

[NebraskaRed]

I still don't think Bell will get fired, but with every loss, it seems more and more like someone is going to be the scapegoat.

[Tom Servo]

We can’t have nice things.

[Redsfan6272]

Going to be 50 pitches and only the 2nd inning.. like throwing batting practice

[Tom Servo]

I was really hoping for a Hunter rebound today but this is the full Amir Garrett 2017, sadly. He’s probably just going to keep getting clobbered.

[JCM11]

Greene is getting a similar treatment to early Homer Bailey. Now he knows 100mph with no location and weak secondary stuff isn't going to cut it.

[Redsfan6272]

57 pitches.. not even in the 3rd yet

[TheBigLebowski]

Send Hunter back to AAA before the stank & funk of this roster and this season ruins him permanently.

[Tom Servo]

It’s pretty crazy to strikeout 5 in 2 innings but also give up 3 HRs and 3 doubles.

Can't believe he is leaving Greene out there. Why waste pitches on your prized arm at this point?

[50YrRedsFan]

Game is already over an hour long...only bottom of 3rd. 58 pitches from Greene. Probably only 4 innings today.

[JCM11]

This ump has given Greene a couple of gift strike 3's.

[Redsfan6272]

When will they start winning in a really weird way per Bell???

[icehole3]

Love Pham's attitude, full of fire. Went to one of the Padre games (I know I know my wife gave me a birthday present happy wife happy life) and in between innings some beer drinking Padre fans were giving it to Pham pretty good. So after warmups drunk Padre fans want the ball and Pham throws an absolute seed right into the group and they all head for cover the few in attendence go crazy cheering.

[TheBigLebowski]

Hunter’s arm looks healthy. That’s all I care about. He’s going to figure this out. Probably better off doing it in AAA, but he’ll get there.

[Redsfan6272]

I wonder if he is tipping his pitches so bad or they know what's coming.. hacked that dang arm band

[Joeyjection19]

Good god in heaven, get Greene out of there.

[NC Reds]

Hunter has them right where he wants them now.

[Redsfan6272]

This is ridiculous. Why Bell nor the pitching coach didn't go out to talk to him.. allowing him to give up 5 homeruns!!!!

[WildcatFan]

These are some rockets.

[JCM11]

Our "prized" prospect is literally a batting practice machine. I don't see how you give him another start after this beating. This is malpractice by Bell at this point to leave him in.

[TheBigLebowski]

This is got to be humiliating. And I absolutely think he’s tipping pitches.

[klw]

Has there ever been a game where all 9 starters in a lineup all homered?


Edit: No.
Reds are only NL team with 9 homers in a game- but 8 different players.

[Redsfan6272]

Bell asking to be fired now

[Old school 1983]

They are cheating on his fastball. Winding up to hit it and swinging for the downs like a pitching machine. He really needs to learn a two seamer and to pitch backwards to make them honest. It’s wind up and swing for the downs.

[icehole3]

I wonder if he is tipping his pitches so bad or they know what's coming.. hacked that dang arm band

I think so Adames after his rocket shot went to the on deck batter and had a conversation, the batter then rocked Hunter his turn up.

[adampad]

Sadak to Welsh "he's given up four homers today, is there a reason?" Chris "Yeah, his fastball is flat". BOOOOOM another bomb. Can't script this stuff.

[BCubb2003]

It’s a little bit like Chapman though, isn’t it? No tipping or hacking needed. The chances are so high he’s going to throw the fastball.

But yeah, not flat. Just like the Earf.

Or whoever is calling the pitches could learn.

I'm like you and Keefe; I always liked that card. Not surprised that Johnny hated it.

I feel vindicated in my stance that the pitching would be worse than the offense. The offense is abysmal of course but will likely still get better once Votto isn’t hitting .100, but this pitching is worst of all time territory with little help on the way outside of Castillo.

I prefer the punch in the face (offense) instead of the kick to the nuts (pitching) too.

There's a difference between pitching poor and making John Lamb look like Sandy Koufax. Greene got his brains beat in out there today.

He did get his brains beat in and for him to grow you're going to have to give him some leash to work through it. Sometimes it will be painful. Today was one of those days

This was a John Lamb start don’t know where Koufax fits in the equation.

Lamb could usually go for 5 innings while giving up 7 or 8 runs, so he had that going for him.

No. He and Bell were watching Gomer Pyle re-runs in the dugout on their iphones.

One of my favorite old shows. Well written, great cast . Frank Sutton(Sgt. Carter) actually served in the military. He was a Sergeant in the Army and was awarded a Bronze Star and Purple Heart for his service in WWII.


Gomer Pyle episodes are a helluva lot more entertaining than this Reds' bullcrap.

Gomer Pyle would also be the ace of this pitching staff!!

[JohnnyBench5]

Agree 100% ....Gomer ftw

Umps must have received batch of the "old" baseballs for today's game. Ordered them off Amazon, free shipping with Prime.

Probably ran out of balls from yesterday.

I wonder if Gomer's best position was pitcher or catcher?:devil:

[JCM11]

Our pitchers are so bad it's actually dangerous for opposing hitters to stand in the box against them.

And it was part of the Mayberry-Hooterville-Beverly Hills universe.

I wonder what Thom would be saying about all of this if he were still in the Reds' booth? He had a penchant for being pretty negative at times. He'd have a field day with these Reds.

Probably so. I don't see the games, but am I wrong to suspect that Sadak is adept at pig lipstick application?

I knew his dad and Dick Wagner went at it because Marty was very critical in the 1980 season and I went looking for an account of what happened (HERE (https://www.cincinnatimagazine.com/sports-3/marty-brennaman-loud-and-clear/)) and they included this quote from the 1982 season that gives us a pretty good idea of how Marty would be handling this season: “To be seven games back after 10 days of the season is an accomplishment in itself.”

This may be the last time I wear this headset. And there’s a drive, deep left center, and it’s gone. Brewers extend their lead to 25-4. I am not that kind of person.

Probably a couple bigoted comments followed by "Mercy"

The bullpen always seems to do well when it doesn't really matter.

[NebraskaRed]

But really, only hit given up since the bullpen took over in the 3rd. Too bad this game didn't start as a bullpen game.

what about yesterday

Well, none of the games really matter at this point.

Just when the Brewers bat I assume?

It was framed very nice and was so different from the usual cards with the oasted on smile and a fungo bat on the shoulder. 1973 or 1974 if i recall. Good topps sets then.

[Redsfan6272]

3-22

I remember how excited I was back then when I finally had the complete set of Reds.

[texasdave]

Of all of the ugly early-season stats, this might be the ugliest: If the Reds lose tomorrow's contest, they will have endured two double-digit losing streaks in their first 26 games. That, in and of itself, is an accomplishment.

One of the things that always bothered me about Gomer Pyle, USMC was that they always referred to Frank Sutton's character as, "Sgt. Carter". In the Marines, he should have been addressed correctly by his full rank, as Gunnery Sergeant Carter -- or informally as Gunny Carter.
