Reds month of June game thread

[*bengalfan74*]

Well I finally got to my first game of the season and got to see the Reds smell the place up on offense. There was just no fire, no energy on the team at all, at the plate except for Puig. He had 3 solid line drive hits probably first time all season he's done so well but the rest of the team phoned it in. Senzel had a solid HR at the end but the only other hit was Votto in the 1st, bunch of strike outs !

Couple observations: They need to keep Jose Iglesias the dude is an awesome SS on defense. He had an awesome put out on a diving stop right in front of us we were just behind 3rd.

Puig is a guy that just is what he is. He had a great diving catch to steal a base hit away but there was a ball an inning or two before that hit in the gap and he was just totally jogging to get it with no sense of urgency at all ! It was probably a double anyway but I didn't like the lack of effort. I've heard it said he likes to try and bait guys and then show off his arm. Perhaps that was his thinking but I don't like it. You just never know when he's gonna turn it on and when he's gonna lollygag ?

Mahle is just snake bit or something ? He figures out a way nearly every start to screw up. Between walking guys, hitting guys, not paying attention to runners, you name it ? He's often his own worst enemy. When Wood gets back I'm not sure who should go, him or Disco it's close !

Every game that goes by I'm leaning more and more towards Peraza was just a flash in the pan last season.

Here's to hoping Wood and Scooter can give us a shot in the arm.
