    That could have hurt. Got away with it. The meatball from Santillan though—another wasted quality effort by a starting pitcher.
    Too many players on the offensive side just are not good enough. Steer, CES, Benson all playing positions that should be contributing power and thump in the lineup on a nightly basis and they just don’t

      You really see it playing a team like Philly. Those guys can hurt you up and down the lineup.

        We’re sorely missing a Schwarber type. I know that’s not easy to find but it’s what this team needs. Along with someone to grow into third, really counting on Marte

          At least we were dominated by a legitimate pitcher today. Several of our 2 or fewer hit games this year have been again someone’s 3rd starter with a .500 winning percentage and a 4.85 ERA and we made him look like Nolan Ryan.

          These next 2 series before the break are against weaker competition. Gotta get on a roll now or it may be another woulda coulda year 🤞

            Team needs some help... can't continue to hang our hopes on injured players coming back.

            Give me a half way decent outfielder and I'll shut my mouth.

              This time last year the Reds were 42-48 and 10 games out of 1st. This year they're 2 games over .500 and 8 games out of first. I think Tito has made a difference. Hoping Steer and McClain continue their upward trajectory and they can somehow find a reliable outfield bat before the deadline. Starting pitching is good and the bullpen has been good enough most of the time. Have to do well against the weak sisters before the break.

                Steer's bat is coming around, but why were they playing him at 1B and CES at 3B? CES should be getting the majority of play at 1B if that's his future. Steer should be in LF. Benson should just not be out there altogether. He went on a bit of a hot streak early when he came back up, but has since fallen off a cliff.

                  I love little league baseball. Don’t really want to see it when I watch the reds though. Clown defense on display tonight.

                    And getting thoroughly dominated at the plate again. Another 1 hit through 6 inning effort 😡

                        I didn't expect the Reds to go into collapse mode like this. Very surprising and disappointing.

                          Marlins continue their road win streak. Need to reel off the last 5 before the break.

                            If we can’t win this week things are pretty bleak. Can’t hit mediocre pitching. Ain’t good.

                              I thought getting Hayes, Marte and CES back was supposed to shore up the lineup. seems like it's having the opposite effect.

                                Well I guessed a good night to hit GABP and have a talk with these fellas. Seems to have worked 🤣
                                Nice comfortable evening too.
