[Ron Madden]

Reds relief pitcher Justin Wilson had Tommy John surgery today, per the team. He's on the 60-day IL.

The Reds today reinstated from the 10-day injured list LHP Mike Minor and optioned to Triple-A Louisville OF TJ Friedl.

[cumberlandreds]

The real Tommy John should get some residuals everytime his name is used in connection with that surgery.

[klw]

Sadly the Kyle Farmer v Josiah Gray showdown we have been yearning to see for 3 years is unlikely to happen unless Pham is scratched and the ensuing lineup shuffle comes about.

[KeefeCato]

I think Tommy John should be in the HOF. Jim Katt made it. John was ever bit as good plus he has a career saving surgery named after him.

Donovan Solano ran the bases at full speed yesterday. He said he will begin a rehab assignment on Tuesday.

[Ron Madden]

The Nationals lineup has been added to the original post

[traderumor]

Nat starter name sounds like a 1890's-1900 hurler name.

Reds trade Jake Bauers to the Yankees for cash

Nice clean, quick inning for Mike Minor

Drury reaches base E 6

Wham Bam Thank You Pham!!!

[Reds Freak]

Washington defense abysmal this series. Although that ball was smoked by Pham.

[Ron Madden]

Reds 2

I was excited about Gray when he was in the Reds org. Good to see him move so quickly through the system.

[OldFashionedRed]

No excuse for Moose to be that out of shape. He can't even stand correctly at the plate, and looked like he was going cross-eyed up there. The guy looked like he had his pants pulled up to his chest. Maybe next time he can try swinging backwards?

[TheBigLebowski]

Minor’s proclivity to produce fly ball outs scares me.

[Ron Madden]

Reds 2
Nats 1

At the end of the 2nd

[redsfan9988]

Looks like Robles pulled something there.

[KeefeCato]

Minor is what we thought he was horrible. Let's trade for a fly ball pitcher and put him in GABP. What could go wrong?

[RedTeamGo!]

Lol

[Rowsdower]

I was hoping Mike would be a Minor improvement over Gutierrez buttttt

[Ron Madden]

Minor’s proclivity to produce fly ball outs scares me.

I don't think Mike Minor is a very good fit for GABP

[TheBigLebowski]

Minor was such a great acquisition. 10 mil for this.

[redsfan9988]

Minor throwing BP... It's Hoffman time...

[Banshee]

Wow, Minor a major tragedy so far.

[Alf_Red_E]

Minor is what we thought he was horrible. Let's trade for a fly ball pitcher and put him in GABP. What could go wrong?

It's getting ugly early 5 - 2 Nats over Reds top of 3

[TheBigLebowski]

Ok, cut him.

[Sassy Sal]

This guy throwing belt high fat pitches.

[Redsfan6272]

Minor is what we thought he was horrible. Let's trade for a fly ball pitcher and put him in GABP. What could go wrong?

Exactly!! He has to keep the ball down in the zone. He is nothing like Ashcraft in the zone.. just watching Minor He was not a fit for this ballpark. His pitches are up and they hang in the zone that says "Hit me "

[TheBigLebowski]

So Minor in the rotation doesn’t mean no Vlad. It just means we see Vlad in the 4th every 5th game instead of the 1st.

[Redsfan6272]

Minor was such a great acquisition. 10 mil for this.

All on Krall!!

[Ron Madden]

We might have Eric Milton part two

[redsfan9988]

Fortunately, the Nats are awful, so the game's not over. That said, I don't think I'm keen on Minor facing the order a third time. One more inning if he has it in him and that's it.

[KeefeCato]

Ok, cut him.

Sorry that ain't happening. Be prepared for more of this. If they were smart (which they are not). They would do everything possible to switch around the rotation to make sure most of Minor's starts are on the road. His stuff isn't going to play at home giving up all those fly balls.

[Sassy Sal]

I really hope he is just pressing and a little nervous. I doubt he can be this bad...can he? I'll wait a few more starts before I cut him. Not like we have much to lose by letting things play out.

[KeefeCato]

All on Krall!!

I think part of the reason they got Solano, Minor and Moran if after letting all those guys leave in the offseason fans complained. So they told Krall to go spend some money so they could say we did spend in the off season.

[redsfan9988]

really nice at=bat by Reynolds... Who tf is this guy?

[KeefeCato]

I really hope he is just pressing and a little nervous. I doubt he can be this bad...can he? I'll wait a few more starts before I cut him. Not like we have much to lose by letting things play out.

Like Ron said he is a horrible fit for GABP. Fly ball pitcher. Put him in a Western division big ball park and he would be a serviceable 5th starter. Weather has warmed and fly balls are flying out of the joke of a park the Reds have. They need more sinkerballers less fly ball pitchers.

[TheBigLebowski]

Senzel is such a poor hitter he created a double play without even hitting the ball.

[redsfan9988]

Every day, Nick Senzel finds new and interesting ways to make outs...

[Alf_Red_E]

5 - 2 after 3 is a Minor miracle

[OldFashionedRed]

Minor was such a great acquisition. 10 mil for this.

They paid $10 million for him?

[Sassy Sal]

Senzel is such a poor hitter he created a double play without even hitting the ball.

That tag may have been reviewed anyway. Was closer than it first seemed.

[Ron Madden]

Way too many deep fly balls!

[KeefeCato]

They paid $10 million for him?

Traded Garrett for him and he makes 10 Mil. So many wanted Garrett gone they got their wish.

[Ron Madden]

They're teeing off on Minor

[redsfan9988]

They're teeing off on Minor

That liner by Garcia had to be 110 mph

[Sassy Sal]

Chris Welsh could pitch better than what we are seeing.

[RedTeamGo!]

Senzel is not good.

Could have just cut Garrett. Which is what many of us wanted.

[KeefeCato]

Imagine what a good lineup will do to him in GABP.

[Redsfan6272]

Very cool of Votto with the fans after yesterday's game.

[soonerforever12]

Minor I knew when we signed him it wasn't a good move, some of the threads said he's not a good SP for GABP, well he wasn't good in KC a pitchers ballpark to the tune of a 5 plus earny. Put him in the bullpen or don't pitch him besides he's not in our future plans keep letting the youngsters pitch they are our future. Hope when Lodolo comes back he's out but I'm sure our brilliant front office will not do it because we overpaid for him, STUPID!!2020 he was 5 plus in Oakland another pitchers park. Bottom line he SUCKS

You better go get the papers. Get the papers.

[TheBigLebowski]

Senzel is not good.

- - - Updated - - -


No. He absolutely is not good. Below replacement level.

[Ron Madden]

Vlad taking over for Minor

[soonerforever12]

I knew it was coming I kept hearing them talk about how happy they were that he was soon to join the rotation and I'm like I hope he has a setback, I know that's not right but man I have played fantasy baseball since 1989 and best of my recollection he's had maybe one what you would call a good year. You also know they will leave him in there no matter what since they should have never made that move anyway. Went 4 innings to this team wait till he has a go at STL and MIL!! LOL

[Ron Madden]

Vlad taking over where Minor left off

[soonerforever12]

No. He absolutely is not good. Below replacement level.

SCAB at best!! LOL

[NebraskaRed]

I mean you could have just left Minor in if this is what was going to happen

[Sassy Sal]

Blowout alert.

[malcontent]

I actually had hope that Gutierrez could be a serviceable starter.

[Ron Madden]

Fortunately only one run scored.

Gotta hold'em now for a chance for a come back

[Ky Fried Redleg]

***SCOREBOARD STUMPER***

Since the Nats moved from Montreal to Washington in 2005, there have been 5 players who have hit double digit homeruns in a season(13 or more) for BOTH the Reds and Nationals.

Two of the players had 20+ HRS in a season for both the Reds and Nationals and each tallied 200+ career HRS when they retired.

Two other players slammed 25+ doubles in a season for BOTH the Reds and Nationals and tallied between 100- 200 HRS each over their careers.

The final player slammed 15 or more HRs and 15 or more doubles in a season for BOTH the Reds and Nats.


Can you name all five ???

[Mitri]

Not sure if this was addressed, but why the hell is Senzel still batting leadoff?

[TheBigLebowski]

Nick is just boring.

I resisted thinking like this for a long time but it's hard to argue with it anymore.

Bust.

Massively, yes.

[klw]

2-4 with a walk last night in that slot.

What do they have to lose at this point?

I’m fine with him getting some starts, but I’d rather just see Reynolds leading off. Senzel should be in the bottom third.

[Ron Madden]

Lane Thomas?
Three Home runs?

[Sassy Sal]

The Hoff strikes again.

[TheBigLebowski]

Lane Thomas: New Bill Hall? Happ? Mark Hittin’ Whiten?

Only 2 teams (OAK, TB) had gone longer than the Reds without giving up a 3-HR game before *checks notes* Lane Thomas did it tonight.

Last 3-HR game allowed by the Reds was Adrian Gonzalez on 8/22/2016.

[JFLegal]

this team and organization is complete trash

[757690]

So did the Reds lose both the Minor trade and the Bailey trade in this one game?

[klw]

I see Thomas flied out, did it go deep or was it routine?

[malcontent]

Not that it matters, but I don't see the point in using their one lefty reliever tonite.

Routine

[0-2 Count]

After a 3-22 start to the season, why do I still get frustrated when the team has a disappointing game?

[KeefeCato]

Votto notelite still bangs.

[Ron Madden]

Joey Votto Still Bangs!!!

[cumberlandreds]

Votto!!!!!!!!!!

[Deepee57]

Votto!

[TheBigLebowski]

Votto’s not dead yet

[Ron Madden]

That HR by Votto ties him with Johnny Bench on the Reds all time hits list.

[cumberlandreds]

8-5 Nats going to the 9th.

[Ron Madden]

I miss Big Klu updating the Reds all time Home Run Leaders list.

[cumberlandreds]

Nice inning by Cessa. Rally time. Need three to go to fake baseball.

[Ron Madden]

I don't know about you people but I'd really like to see a Reds comeback walk off win tonight

[Ron Madden]

Good AB Lopez

[cumberlandreds]

Lopez walks.

[cumberlandreds]

Dang. Reynolds hit the snot out of that baseball.

Like to see Votto get one more chance. Need base runners to get to him. 2 outs now.

[Ron Madden]

Two hard hit balls for two outs

[757690]

So did the Reds lose both the Minor trade and the Bailey trade in this one game?

With Rainey getting the save, the Reds also lose the Tanner Roak trade.

The Reds lost three trades in one game, very impressive.

[KeefeCato]

Fine running catch

I wouldn't mind seeing the Reds get Robles. A good buy low candidate. He like Senzel hasn't lived up to the hype. A swap of the two might be good for both. Though I don't see the Nats doing that.

[Ron Madden]

Well, we can still win 3 outta 4 to win the series

[cumberlandreds]

That's it. 8-5 Nats win. The Joe lNuxhall star of the game is Lane Thomas.. Easy choice 3 HRs.

I'm terrible with newer trivia. I nail the 70s stuff. Can't remember what happened in those lost years early 2000 teams. I couldn't get them on TV here from around 2001-2009. Well I could have but at that time needed a satellite. My cable company changed in 2001 and didn't start carrying them again till 2010. Thankful now for bootleg streaming sites I don't need Cabel or Satellite.

I'll try to come up with an Old School question soon. You are very, very hard to stump on anything from the '70's. That's my sweet spot, as well.

Not sure if this was addressed, but why the hell is Senzel still batting leadoff?

His .265 OBP was by far the worst in the lineup tonight. They were trying to avoid double plays. #genius

our terrible franchise has the distinction of having two of their former draft picks get the win AND the save tonight.

against a team that is somehow worse than us.
