Reds pitchers have walked 9 Angels today. They have just 2 Ks.

Nate Lowe needs to be in the lineup every single time they're facing a RHP. He's took proven in that role and the rest of the offense is simply too terrible to not have him be a part of it.

On the plus side, the Reds did not get no-hit today. They actually have two!

Reds now sporting a -19 run differential in this, their 16th game of the year.

anyone here actually old enough to remember when the Reds had an offense that didn't make you physically ill while watching it?

at some point it might be time to question the strategy of letting guys who can't hit get the most PA on the team

I wonder if PJ Higgins has a couple more innings in him for today

Back in the win column! #ATOBTTR

Seemingly the only thing keeping a couple of the Reds on the roster right now is just how poorly most every other player on the roster is playing, too

FREE NATE LOWE

a fun thing to think about is how many games we're going to get to watch Sal Stewart play for the Reds

Here's how the offense provided by Ke'Bryan Hayes since joining the Cincinnati Reds stacks up against some other notable names in recent team history. (Let's remember some guys!)

Beginning to think the Reds have two good position players and a lot of 'other'

hey there's something good that happened in this one

Sal Stewart leads all of Major League Baseball in wOBA (.510). All of it.

Sal Stewart blasts his fourth home run of the season and has driven in a run in every game of this series in Miami! The rookie is from Miami and the current players from his old high school are at the game and fired up!

Honestly feels weird to say that a game doesn't belong to the Reds, but this one sure didn't.

Tried to take 20 minutes to eat a quick dinner and SAL STEWART IS A GOLDEN GOD AGAIN

That's the best swing I think I've seen from Hayes this year. Too bad it came in Miami, as that ball just petered out at the track in left-center. 100.8 mph off the bat and elevated well, though (31 degree LA)

Not exactly Brady Singer's finest night.

A classic case of Elly Havoc gets the Reds on the board in the Top of the 1st!

Christian Encarnacion-Strand got passed on the 1B depth chart, buried on the 3B depth chart, and fell down the 'potential bench bat with pop' list in the Reds organization, too. So when they needed a roster spot for a catcher after Jose Trevino's injury, it was CES that got the boot.

BEEEF HOOOOAAAGIEEEE

The Cincinnati Reds chased Sandy Alcantara at the last and stormed back to a win over the Miami Marlins on Tuesday, with Matt McLain and Nathaniel Lowe chipping in with huge hits. #ATOBTTR

Am Grahashcraft

Tear the roof off, we're gonna tear the roof off the mother sucka!

Anyway it's Hayes that keeps Nate Lowe on the bench vs. RHP and I just don't think it's worth it. It's nitpicky, I know. I just think it's the wrong move (and it's expensive by Reds standards).

NATE LOOOOOOOWE, NATE LOWE NATE LOWE NATE LOWE

the Emilio Pagán experience

big props to Clayton McCullough for pulling Sandy Alcantara, and the Reds are heading to the Bottom of the 9th in a 2-2 game

ELLY HAVOC!!!!!! Elly scores from 3B on a pitch in the dirt, and the Reds have tied this one up 2-2!

The Reds are on the board!

Hey! That was Matt McLain's [checks notes] second extra-base hit of the season! And now an Elly walk puts the go-ahead run at the plate...in the form of Sal Stewart 👀

You can yell at me all you want about how important defense is - and it is - but you'll never convince me the frugal-ass Reds sending something tangible to Pittsburgh *and* agreeing to take on ~$39 million for Ke'Bryan Hayes was a well thought out plan.

The Reds should really do that thing where they don't have the single worst offense on the entire planet

We're goin' streaking! #ATOBTTR

TY STEVES! A solo shot gives the Reds a big-time insurance run in the 8th

if the Brandon Williamson we're seeing tonight is the real Brandon Williamson (and if Eugenio Suarez is a Cincinnati Red again, which he is) I'm going to go ahead and say the Reds won that trade with Seattle

Reds have run into a couple of outs already in this 1-0 game. Surely that won't come back to haunt them in this, a 1-0 game.

We've seen Elly hit the ball to the opposite field from both sides of the plate in the last two days. The baseball world simply ain't ready for an Elly who can take what's given to him and turn it on its head *and* do all that otherworldly stuff, too.

and it turns into a run! Mustang Sally with a laser of a single up the middle, and Elly's speed allows him to score. That's some A+ baserunning from Cincinnati's fastest player.

Just another ho-hum hustle double by Elly. Those won't ever get old.

hey, TJ Friedl hit a ball hard! It was a foul ball, but it was a hard foul ball!

After a painfully long ~28 hour break, the Cincinnati Reds are playing baseball once again

The first week of full-slate minor league action is in the books, and Austin Hendrick (!) looks like he might know what's going on at the plate again. Maybe. Maybe? Here's what went down on the Farm this past week:

so there's just, like, not a Sunday night baseball game tonight?

BROCKIN' AND A-BURKIN'
