6-29-21 Reds vs Padres 7:10 pm

[REDREAD]

The umps need to stop granting that late timeout to the batter. It's extremely annoying and slows down the pace of the game.

I appreciate Bell and the general Reds org for giving Geno a chance to straighten things out but it just doesn't look like it's happening this season. Might take a ton of work over the offseason to fix him. As long as the Reds are in the playoff hunt I'd start benching him consistently. Give Lopez a bunch of starts, maybe platoon Geno/Votto at 1B once Moose is back. At the very least he should be batting 7th.

The loser of this game is going to score 8 runs.

bad decision by Santiallan on that bunt.

[Big Klu]

As far as solid-color jerseys go, the Padres jersey is pretty good (especially since brown is not a particularly good sports color). They need to introduce the cap with the yellow front panel, though -- a la Chris Welsh.

just take the out. my god this team is dumb.

and larkin needs to shut up about bunting. that was just luck, just like last night.

[NebraskaRed]

Absolutely dumb play by Santillan.

[Stray]

Nice play by Geno to not let that get by him

someone on the reds was yelling "3, 3, 3!" so it's not all on him. but yes, very dumb for sure.

I don’t think another position change is in Geno’s future. As long as he any Kyle Farmer are on the 26-man roster, David Bell is going to start them 95% of the time. I’ll bet Lopez could put up a .350 OBP, play adequate defense, and be a fine non-out-maker hitting behind Naquin. We will never know. Lopez could go 15 for 15 pinch hitting to start his career while Suarez goes 1 for 65 with 1 HR, and Suarez will continue to get 100% of the starts at 3B. We could trade for Manny Machado - and he would back up Suarez… it is what it is.

Why wouldn't you platoon with Moustakas and Suarez instead? Votto looks like he's starting to get dialed in.

what a weak throw (not that they really had a chance, but man that was weak). and what a cheap run to give up by the reds due to the stupid idea to throw to third on the sac bunt. take the free out, idiots.

for sure. extremely dumb. this team is consistent if nothing else. dumb offensively on the basepaths. dumb defensively.

If you give the batter a sacrifice, it can't be an error on the throw for the pitcher, but just a fielders choice. If you give an error, it should not be a sacrifice since a normal good play would have had the runner at 3rd.
