It's been a great relief not having to watch Candelario Defensively for a long time now.

Even better not watching Candelario AND Marte.

[Dave C]

He was actually in shape as a national.

Junis throwing his name into the hat to replace Martinez?
Junis, Williamson and Suter. I don't know if Junis will be brought back. I expect Suter to be back we know Williamson will be back. I highly doubt Martinez will be.

If getting to the edge of having your career over is the motivation to "get in shape" then he's a guy who should be no where near our younger team.

[Kingspoint]

I hope he is back next year as a reserve. Easy guy to root for. More importantly I hope his daughter is healthy.

He is the definition of a Viking.

Agree 100%. I have a feeling that Marte has that attitude when it comes to fundamentals, and perhaps it's that what Don Gullett saw.

Exactly. And that looks like what happened. I know he did has a pretty severe neck injury as a Mariner. I think he had surgery. I'll cut him SOME slack. But I don't want him back in Cincinnati.

[Kingspoint]

Love the REDS Jersey, but not the gray pants. Looks great with white. Shows the hustle dirt better.

We've already got the 3 hits.

Now let's get some runs, too.

So, Junis we got in the Montas trade, right?

[Ky Fried Redleg]

Not to sidetrack the Reds thread, but just watched what many would consider one of the biggest HS football upsets in recent memory as Boyle Co. high school out of little Danville, KY stuns national power and 12th ranked St Edward of Lakewood, OH on Edward's home field 38-21.

Some saying it's Appy St/Michigan or even Centre College/Harvard level upset. Big day for KY HS football.

Bottom 3

Jose Iglesias strikes out on a foul tip. 1 out

Francisco Alvarez pops out to third baseman Santiago Espinal. 2 outs

Harrison Bader grounds out, third baseman Santiago Espinal to first baseman Ty France. 3 outs

[KeefeCato]

Reds really need 6 or 7 strong from Junis. Those bullpen games put a severe strain on the pitching staff.
They need to just start Junis, Martinez Lowder, Agular and Williamson and forget the bullpen day.
Williamson should be able to go 5 innings next start providing he doesn't have to throw a lot of pitches.
Greene can replace whoever when/if he returns.

[Kingspoint]

Man, that was way outside for Ball 4, but France swung.

Is there even one umpire that's not completely rotten at his job?

[Dave C]

Junis is pitching pretty well.
