Dietrich needs to start hitting or I fear he will be a non tender next year....if he already isn't.

I mean he’s really not done a thing in 3 months to help the Reds win

Uh oh....Iglesias batting 5th [emoji2359]

Here comes 3 RBI

Depressing

but 6 HBP and 5 BB!

Since June 1st, Derek Dietrich has 14 hits in 105 at bats a .133 batting average, 2 homers and 7 rbi's. Aside from May when Derek hit .304 with 12 home runs and 22 rbi's , he has not hit over .200 in any month this season. He was pretty much a one month star. Hopefully Aquino will not be the same

The Pirates lineup has been added to the original post

Today we score 12....because baseball

Agrazal 4.1 SO9 (5.8 in minors for career)....so he's good for 10 strikeouts plus today

yeah, 1st half of the season Dietrich had to be in the discussion for most entertaining players on the roster.....

Reds lineup, on paper, is quite weak and will need to be bolstered this off-season. Some of it is injury or absence (Votto, Senzel), but generally needs help.

Having said that, looking for Reds to win today, they are better than shown so far this series.

Meat Sauce leads off with a walk

VanMeter walks on 5 pitches.

My wife is threatening to have me committed after I watched every pitch yesterday....I usually hold out some glimmer of hope right up until that elimination number dwindles to zero but these last two days of losing to the Pirates have really taken the fight outta me

6, right?

Is that C B Bucknor behind the plate?

They said there would be no math.

He steals second....

Galvis walks...2 on, no outs

C'mon Geno....

(Edit swings at first 2 pitches after 2 walks)

at one time Dietrich led the team in HR's and RBI's

RBI single Aquino!

I disagree swinging too early at least this first time through. Teams are pitching to our aggressiveness

The Punisher with a RBI single

Aquino with another hit and another RBI. He reminding more and more of Foster.

Nice insight by Chris on the grounder

Aquino with his 1st steal

JVM just got AA a hit and rbi...plain and simple

Is it just me or does Agrazal sound like the name of a demon from Lucifer?

Iglesias with another important hit

MUCH better!

They are booing Marte that ball should have been caught.

To not striking out

Dietz needs a hit

Pitcher getting a talk to.

I like it

Fixed it

Why would you hit a guy that loves to get hit and can’t hit?

Thanks

Dietrich has more HBP/Walks than hits
