  Well, have a nice run since losing 17-4.....have won 9 of 13

  Season is long from over. Getting some guys back from injury as well as bringing up some from minors.

  Hoping to stay within 50 games of the Cubs

  Silently having a pretty damn good year...

  LOL...the season has been over since opening day. The Braves are the worst team since the 2003 Tigers. They will be even worse once they dump Teheran, Aybar, Markakis and Freeman.
  
  I'm still bitter when wins come with guys like Blake Wood getting saves. Nice to see the rotation starting to get normal with Finnegan, DeSclafani and Lamb.

  If they are going to ever get rid of Bruce...it has to be soon. Just before the ASB it's not crazy like after the break. He is about as hot as he can get. Extra base hit machine right now.

  Reds offense plays efficient offensive baseball in the 4th, scoring 3 runs on a walk and 2 hits with none out and two good run scoring RBI outs by Duvall and De Jesus. But they still trail by 1 as Votto blew DeScalfani's 3rd inning out of the water with a terrible throw home on a force out, extending the inning for 3 unearned runs and bunches of pitches resulting in the P leaving the game.
  
  Votto has made a textbook addendum of how not to make squared-up, on balance throws tonight with two absolutely terrible ones. While the Reds rookie shortstop made an addendum on how to actually do it properly on a throw home for a tag play.

  So unlucky
  
  I have never seen a strikeout hit batter and be a dead ball. If it was a dead ball why did they let runners advance at all? Holt would've scored easily. Oh well, just going to lose.

  Simon.

  The answer to the question "Who can we put in there to wrap this up because we have to be back here for another game in 12 hours."
• wildcats20

  

  Cody Reed will start Saturday.

  Well, I'll take it
• Ironman92

  

  Good game, tough loss. Smith pitched great in relief. Very excited about Reed.
  
  Only on the Reds could Brandon Phillips bat 4th while a guy with 20 HR bats 6th
• thavoice

  Didn't get to see Reed pitch but Price was very happy from what it seemed.
  
  I like to follow up on the trades.
  For Leake: 5-4 and just over a 4 ernie.
  
  Duvall. 20 HR, nearly 50 RBIs and hitting 260.
  Mella: 22 yr old and still in single A. Decent stats this year but very far off...
  
  For Cueto: 10-1 2.1 era
  Reed. Solid first start for the reds.
  Lamb: Flaky starter, 3.24 era the last 3 starts and two of those gave up just 1 ER in both.
  Finnegan: 3.5 ERA is last 3 starts.
  
  
  Will have to check out Frazier, and Chapman later.
  
  Could see the Missile in Chicago soon...

  Given how they have performed (outside of Cueto, who is still a stud), the Reds have gotten more production out of the guys they have dealt for than the other teams are getting. Notably, Latos, Simon and Leake. Frazier is what he is, and Chapman has been pretty dominant for New York.

  Brandon Phillips has batted cleanup for the Reds 698 times in his career? SMH Dear God.
  
  Adam Dunn batted cleanup 284 times for the Reds

  Votto must be trying to sabotage DeScalfani, today with about as stupid a misplay as you can have on DeScalfani's great play on Jancowski's bunt -- trying to barehand the throw with his wrong foot on the base!

  Have to have a righty there to break up the lefties with Votto, Bruce, Dunn, and Griffey tying up the 3 and 5 spots for years!

  Yes Dusty.
  
  Play for the potential 7th inning matchup.
  
  Who batted between Ruth and Gehrig?

  Not that I agreed with splitting them up...but back in Ruth Gehrig days they didn't have all the BP specialties/matchups as they do now.
  
  but me agree, Dunnkey shoulda been cleanup more often.
• Ironman92

  

  Kris Bryant had a decent game. Is that the 2nd best game ever against the Reds (offensively)...behind Mark Whiten
• Ironman92

  

  This may be the most difficult thing I've ever had to fathom..but no pitcher in Reds history has given up more grand slams than J.J. Hoover
• Ironman92

  

  241 career innings pitched
• friendfromlowry

  JJ "we're tired" Hoover
• Ironman92

  

  Hoover is 209th in career innings pitched for the Reds.
  
  Be like Heisey being the all-time grand slams leader.
