Reds roster move: Phillip Diehl was designated for assignment to make room for Luis Castillo on the 26-man roster.

[Z-Fly]

I'm going to the game tonight, for work reasons. I'm somewhat embarrassed to say, I don't know half of the starting lineup. This is the first time in a long time that this has happened to me. Shewie. Hopefully, Castillo throws a gem.

[Ron Madden]

@Reds

CASTILLO BACK

The #Reds today activated from the 10-day injured list RHP Luis Castillo.

Additionally, LHP Phillip Diehl was designated for assignment and RHP Buck Farmer cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Louisville.

[NebraskaRed]

Wasn't Diehl their only lefty?

[757690]

Wasn't Diehl their only lefty?

He couldn’t get lefties out, so it really didn’t matter what arm he threw with.

[Old school 1983]

He couldn’t get lefties out, so it really didn’t matter what arm he threw with.

Wonder if we’ll see Detwiler soon.

[CrosleyVet]

Did Votto and Senzel go on a ventilator? They have been gone for at least a week?

[Tuff Nut]

Diehl had trouble diehling...guessing name was pronounced 'deal' and not 'dial'.

[Ron Madden]

Did Votto and Senzel go on a ventilator? They have been gone for at least a week?

Votto went on the COVID IL May 3rd (6 days so far)
Senzel went on the COVID IL May 4th (5 days so far)

[Tony Cloninger]

Did Votto and Senzel go on a ventilator? They have been gone for at least a week?

Senzel is Jackie Paper. He could be gone for a long time.

Joey is just old. Still handsome as hell though.

[Ironman92]

All I can see is W

[NebraskaRed]

What a quick, efficient inning by a Reds starter. Finally.

[SomeCallMeTim]

Quick, trade him!!!!

[KeefeCato]

It is really nice watching a real major league starting pitcher pitch for the Reds tonight.
Better enjoy him while he is still around.

[Tom Servo]

Luis looking good.

[NebraskaRed]

MVP Moran, as we all predicted

[Tom Servo]

Moran! :jump:

[BCubb2003]

Farmer is facing a drought.

[JohnnyBench5]

Moran....you can't stop him...you can only hope to contain him...lol

Farmer is facing a drought.

And no time table for Barrero who Bell would probably stick in LF anyway to replace by then the traded Pham.

[membengal]

My Moran hate, he thrives on it.

Scooter Gennett is one

[NebraskaRed]

Moose is the opposite of those players since he hit 25+ home runs in multiple seasons, including Brewers, but his home run power disappeared the second he joined the Reds

[CrosleyVet]

Senzel tells Almora from his hospital bed, I coulda had that one

[BCubb2003]

Scooter Gennett is one

Dave Parker.

Don't know if he hit the 25 mark with both teams or not but I know he played for both and had good power: Russell Branyon.

[Rantly]

Don't know if he hit the 25 mark with both teams or not but I know he played for both and had good power: Russell Branyon.

The question doesn’t state they hit 25 for the Brewers, just for the Reds and played for the Brewers. Don’t think Branyon hit 25 in a season for the Reds.

[Strikes Out Looking]

The pumpkin would've been safe if the throw had been good.

[Strikes Out Looking]

Is the 4th Greg Vaughn?

[Ky Fried Redleg]

Gotcha. I know Russ hit quite a few dingers while he was with us. Don't know if he hit 25 in a season or not.

[NebraskaRed]

Is the 4th Greg Vaughn?

I believe so

[CrosleyVet]

hunter Greene disease spreads to Castillo

[NebraskaRed]

Denied a walk, Narvaez hits a home run instead

[NebraskaRed]

Still thinking of that scoreboard question, it always seemed strange to me how quickly Scooter Gennett's career ended.

Branyon??? Not sure.

very strange...

[KeefeCato]

very strange...

Branyon is a no. I don't know who 4th one is though.

[Ky Fried Redleg]

Glenn Braggs played for both but I'm pretty sure he didn't hit 25 in a season. Dude had Herculean strength, though.

[membengal]

brewers should win that challenge

[NebraskaRed]

I thought the 4th answer might be Felipe Lopez, but he had that freak year with the Reds where he hit 23 home runs, not 25.

He never hit nearly as many for the rest of his career.

[mhs95_06]

Farmer making errors at a much higher rate than last season it seems.

[KeefeCato]

I may have the 4th. Ed Bailey he played for Milwaukee but the Braves not Brewers. Does that count I wonder?

[malcontent]

How hard can it be for a team to actually have some decent LHP options?

[CrosleyVet]

Castillo seems happy he's losing

[malcontent]

Castillo seems happy he's losing
Reds may be able to sign him long-term in that case. Seriously I think they should move him if they can get a decent return.

[Ky Fried Redleg]

Castillo seems happy he's losing

He acted that way during and after that STL game last season that sent us into our death spiral. I've disliked him ever since.

[Mitri]

Castillo seems happy he's losing

Always a garbage take, every year.

[CrosleyVet]

When people like Sadak tell Castillo he had a "solid" outing, that's why he can't be mad about losing

[LeatherPants]

Always a garbage take, every year.

But fans want the players to be miserable asshats just like them. Or something.

[Ky Fried Redleg]

I think Ron Madden was probably delivering newspapers and in about 6th grade when our fourth Red-Brewer guy was banging homers????

I was sucking my thumb and pooping my pants.

@nightengalejr

Reds signed RHP Walker Lockett to a minor-league deal. He pitched in Korea last year, posting a 9-9 record and 2.98 ERA in 21 starts with 112 strikeouts in 124 innings.

He pitched for the Mets and Mariners in 2020. He'll report to Goodyear and build up as a starter

Say what you want about the Brewers but the transition from the plain “M” on the their cap to their logo was the best logo/cap upgrade in the history of baseball IMO.

They don't. I thought it just said Milwaukee. But it's Brewers only.

Get us out of the inning.

It sure feels like Reds pitching has more innings this year where 4-5 singles are hit than I can ever imagine before.

I haven't checked, is babip appreciably different across the league?

I had to look it up (brute force browsing) because I would never guess it:


Mike Cameron

i know where he lives. And I sang that song every time he came to bat in April.

That’s a good question I just assumed our pitching is just so atrocious it bends BABIP to its suckitide.

[NebraskaRed]

The Brewers are very, very good.

The fact that this AAA lineup is even keeping the game close is impressive.

Reds Most Consecutive AB without a base hit since 1940 (non-pitchers)
1948 Virgil Stallcup 35

2004 Corky Miller 33
1973 Dennis Menke 33

what up pham!

[membengal]

it's nice to see a reds team that is getting basehits again.

Pirates are beating up on the Dodgers, 5-0 in the 8th.

David Bell seems a lot smarter the last few games.

I'm just stunned. STUNNED!!

Farmer HR!!

I believe the guy we're trying to think of wore the same number uniform as Barry Larkin.

[Tadasimha]

Farmer reaping runs

[KeefeCato]

Deron Johnson is the 4th guy.

[Tom Servo]

I’m not confident that even this lead can be held but this is a far more watchable product when they can actually score runs

[Ky Fried Redleg]

Ron, who is the 4th guy? It's killing me.

If I'm right, I've already posted his picture. Go back and look at the Topps Card.

It's deron Johnson can't tell by Card but I researched.

I remember him best as a Philly in the early seventies but I know he had one monster season with the Reds back when I was probably still poopin' my drawers.

Too late. Oops, I’m too late.

Whatever.

Heck of a power hitter, Deron Johnson.

[Tony Cloninger]

So the Reds are going to blow a 5 run lead it’s assumed?

I too agree that It’s more enjoyable watching a team hit good or great even if they are destined to lose.

If you have a choice between the 1930 Philadelphia Phillies or the 1968 Chicago White Sox. You go for fun losing instead of boring.

They could be up 10-0 right now and I'd still say there's a good chance they blow it.

No lead is safe. Let's hope for the best.

Check previous page. That was a great trivia.

Every Reds starter has a hit and a run tonight, the first time they've done that since 6/22/2007 against the Mariners.

[VR]

Is anyone else terrified that it may have actually been Barry Larkin's comment about hitting the ball to the right side when you are in an 0-865 slump to get your timing back? Farmer? Zinter? This is like, little league advice that Larkin gave, that is being painted as solving the riddle of the missing link. Wow.

[Kc61]

I think I like these Reds fill-ins better than the regular lineup.

At least tonight.

[JCM11]

We must be in some alternate reality because Jeff Hoffman is a beast lol.

I think we both did pretty much same time.

Your not progressive and analytical enough to understand that grip and rip and strikeouts hurt only your feelings is the only way to maximize your scoring potential. Get with the program here. Small ball is dead.

I liked him too.
When I was a kid I always wondered if they would've traded Robby if Johnson didn't drive in all those runs in '65

[Roy Tucker]

Reds had a crazy offensive year in 1965. Finished #1 or #2 in most offensive categories. I think they did get overconfident that they’d keep that run scoring rate up without Robby.

I didn’t realize Johnson has as long of a career as he did. I had a player crush on him in the 64-66 era.

[Ironman92]

All I can see is W

This.

[OldFashionedRed]

We're good again. Just kidding, but what a pleasant surprise to wake up from my nap to see this win.

Injuries aside, anyone else think the CEO's comments opening day had any effect on the way this team started?

[Mutaman]

Deron Johnson was a Roy fave back in 1964-1965.

I think he's the fellow who said hitting against Koufax was like eating soup with a fork.

[VR]

In the Reds season of futility....is 156 posts in a win an all-time low for RZ game threads?

[HokieRed]

I like this team. Far more fun to follow than last year's, IMO. I'm thoroughly tired of waiting for Nick Senzel to be able to play for two weeks in a row or wondering whether Moustakas will ever hit the ball again. I'd much rather watch the stories of Pham, Drury, Moran, Freidl, et. al. unfold. Surprise of the second half.

[cumberlandreds]

Deron Johnson was a Roy fave back in 1964-1965.

Deron Johnson had a nice career. He played in parts of seasons from 1960 to 1976. His best season was in 1965 for the Reds.

Deron was just before my time. I started following in 74 and by 75 I really started understanding the game a lot more.
He was a good hitter by have read he continued to burn bridges with club after club.

[KYExtemper]

Missed the game last night but that was a good win for the Reds. Winning this series would be a step in the right direction!
