[KeefeCato]

Happy to see Solano in against a RHP. He should be a every day player on this team. Not at the expense of Drury though. Moose should be released . No contender wants him. He has zero value.

[Ron Madden]

@CharlieG__

The Reds put Jeff Hoffman on the IL with no injury designation and call up Jared Solomon.

The Reds currently have seven minor league position players on the 40-man roster, but they now have no minor league pitchers on the 40-man.

[Ron Madden]

Joel Luckhaupt
@jluckhaupt

Kyle Farmer had a stretch in April/May where he went 3 for 49 (.061). Since that ended, he leads MLB with a .394 AVG, leads the NL with a .450 OBP and is 2nd in the NL with 1.036 OPS.

[Redsfan6272]

Have to say he has earned being the starting SS... I can see other teams asking for him in trades

[Kc61]

Reds seriously lacking in LHH.

[Ron Madden]

The Giants lineup has been added to the original post

[Kc61]

Reds RHP faces six LHH.

Giants RHP faces two LHH.

Reds have one of the most imbalanced position player rosters I’ve seen. Only three LHH. Only three outfielders and eight infielders. Two backup catchers.

Oops - they now list Schrock as an outfielder rather than an infielder. I guess that solves the problem.

[Tony Cloninger]

I don’t care what they list Shrock as just give him a start. No one’s going to give you more than a year supply of sodas for your vending machines for him. No one cares to see him. The guy who signed him
Is no longer here so it no longer needs to be justified.

Yeah, he just doubled into the gap. So he’s a hitter.

Senzel knocks it down the line.

2-0 good guys.

[Ron Madden]

Senzel with a RBI DOUBLE!

[Kc61]

Moose and Senzel, who would have thunk it.

BTW, Cobb has allowed an .849 OPS (before today) against LHH this season.

Too bad we hardly have any.

[podgejeff_]

He was safe.

Don’t quite get no challenge. It’s not a play at first base. It’s a run.

I feel like Bell doesn’t want to challenge because it wouldn’t be polite. Untrue, but that’s the way he strikes me.

He looks an awful lot like a Hall of Very Good to my eye, but he did go to LBSU and all Dirtbags get an extra nod in my book.

[Kc61]

India's defense hasn't been too good lately

He’s been shaky but Farmer made a nice stretch on that play.

[Joeyjection19]

I wanted to say it the other day but thought better of it: India should take more time off. I don't think he trusts his hamstring yet and it's affected both his base running and defense.

How has that loudmouth in the crowd not lost his voice yet?

SF has a rough crowd. Back in the day, I took in a Giants game at Candlestick when on a business trip. I wore my wishbone C Reds cap like I always did. Sat by a couple rough and drunk characters who took exception to that and I seriously thought I was going to get my ass kicked.

Managed to slink off and took my cap off. Wasn’t worth getting beat up over.

[Ron Madden]

Since they reconfigured their ballpark it's just 391ft to CF

[Ron Madden]

Pretty Pitch! Back to Back K's

[Ky Fried Redleg]

*** SCOREBOARD STUMPSTER***

Since 1980 , there have been six pitchers who won 20 or more games in a season for either the Reds or the Giants. Three were Reds ; three were Giants . How many can you name???

[Ron Madden]

Longoria goes deep. Now 2-1 after 4 innings

[Joeyjection19]

Only a homerun in three ballparks.

Giants I’m drawing a blank. Baumgarner?

As one who has spent his life watching the Redlegs in foreign ballparks, I have learned to maintain a very low profile. I broke my rule in Pittsburgh the night Homer pitched his no-no but the Bucs' fans were nice enough about it.

Not a fan of Senzel’s catcher interferences. I think it’s reflective of his reactive plate approach….hence his loss of power.

Senzel only goes oppo 28%. I don’t think he usually swings late. He pulled a double to left earlier this game, for example.

But I do think he sometimes decides to foul the pitch off very late and the catcher’s glove is already there. It may show indecision on some pitches.

[Roy Tucker]

I looked up the Giants 20 game winners. I would have never gotten them. You’d have to be a big Giants fan to get them.

I was going to try to insult big Giants fans here but I don't think I can. Because their franchise is a lot nicer to them than ours is.

And yeah, I was just throwing out big names with some estimates based on what I do know.
