Can confirm the JP Morosi report that Sal Stewart is getting called up
News from Canada: The Toronto Blue Jays have broken their single-game dollar hot-dog sales record.
What a play by Hunter Greene. Shit.
Before today's game, talked to Spencer Steer a little bit about how I thought he'd had some really good contact this series but everything was caught. He said he thought it was a combo of not getting all of some of his hits and hitting to the wrong place. He did both today with a double and HR
Zack Maxwell's 5 strikeouts were the most by a Reds reliever since Tejay Antone struck out 5 in his debut, July 27, 2020. Tyler Stephenson also debuted in that same game and homered on his first swing in the big leagues
In addition to Zack Maxwell's big-league debut, C Will Banfield is in making his big-league debut. They're the first Reds to debut in the same game since Alexis Díaz and Daniel Duarte on April 8, 2022. Earlier this year, Tyler Callihan and Chase Petty debuted on the same day, but different games
The #Reds need to hire this Diamondbacks fan. He screamed, "Hays you suck" right before Hays hit a double. This inning he screamed "overrated" at Elly De La Cruz, who promptly singled
From Reds: The Reds today selected from AAA-Louisville RHP Zach Maxwell (#78); transferred to the 60-day injured list RHP Ian Gibaut (right shoulder impingement)…when he plays, Maxwell will be making his Major League debut.
From Reds: The Reds today placed on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to 8/17, C Tyler Stephenson (left thumb fracture); selected from AAA-Louisville C Will Banfield(#49)…when he plays, Banfield will be making his Major League debut.
much easier to understand the sheer bloody intensity of the civil war when you have a good grasp on just how terrible slavery was.
The Athletic's Reds writer @ctrent.bsky.social is on to chat about the NL Wild Card race, Terry Francona, the Brewers and, most importantly, Star Wars. Do they have what it takes to overtake the Mets? Is AOTC the worst Star Wars movie? open.spotify.com/episode/5N71...

A much-publicized, multi-part documentary series by Spike Lee for ESPN Films about former NFL QB Colin Kaepernick is no longer proceeding with the company. The news comes "as a result of certain creative differences." 🔗: http://dlvr.it/TMXRtV
From the Reds: The Reds returned LHP Wade Miley from rehab assignment (left flexor strain), retroactive to August 16. Miley pitched Friday for AA Chattanooga
Terry Francona said Jake Fraley's knee checked out OK. Tyler Stephenson has a banged up thumb, which is why Trevino is catching again today after a night game. They didn't want to play short. This allows Fraley to find a place to play rather than sit the bench.
From the Reds: The Reds recalled RHP Connor Phillips from AAA-Louisville; optioned LHP Joe La Sorsa to AAA-Louisville (post-game on August 16); recalled OF Will Benson from AAA-Louisville; designated OF Jake Fraley for assignment.
I told John last night that playing the Brewers now feels like playing the Cardinals in the 2010s. Exhibit A: The last 2 times the Reds committed 6 errors is series of 3 or fewer games was vs the Brewers. In the previous 6 times before that, 3 were vs the Cards.
Thanks to some help from @jaywigley.bsky.social, I can confirm that the Reds are the first team since at least 1911 to score 7+ runs in an inning and have more than 20 batters in a row retired in the same game. Yay?
thanks Jason. I'll check it out

Christian Yelich used a bat honoring the late Bob Uecker in Friday’s win over the Reds. He had 4 hits, 2 HR and 5 RBI. You can see “Rawlings” and Manfred’s signature where he hit his first homer.
Earlier today in Lansing, Michigan, the Reds' Tejay Antone made his first full-season appearance since April 7, 2024. The next week he had his third elbow surgery. Today for Dayton, 1 IP, 1 K, 1 BB. www.instagram.com/p/DNTqkCfOjFB/
Oh, and baseball stuff... the tarp is down at GABP. Sigh.
So, I heard there was a huge podcast going up today... and darn if they weren't right. It's as big of a crossover as I can imagine. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/m...
God, I'm so, so sorry
Game suspended. 1 pm start tomorrow gates open at 10 for fans
Here comes the tarp
yep
And the rain has started coming down in the front row of the press box... again
I'm honestly stunned at the number of people who stuck through the 2-hour, 17-minute rain delay
Tito and Snitker just went inside with an official as the rain continues here at Bristol. Both teams have tomorrow off as a fallback. Although the Reds flew in today and were flying out tonight... Good thing they have the best traveling secretary in the game
Just as they got the pregame ceremonies done, the rain started coming down and the tarp is coming out
Man, if the cheers for the tarp coming off the field is any indication, it could get pretty loud here at Bristol Motor Speedway tonight
Remember that Elly is the ghost runner
what in the name of Brooks Conrad is going on here?
they call them "the twins" in honor of the only two people on the roster
I'm told the Reds are done after adding Andujar
Reds getting Miguel Andujar
I don't know if the Reds are done making trades, but I do know they're not done trying to make trades. We'll know in the next hour-and-a-half or so (a lot of trades become public after the 6 pm deadline)
Ke’Bryan Hayes has been activated for the Reds, Rece Hinds optioned to Louisville
Nick Martinez will go to the bullpen for the Reds, but could still start, serve as a swingman like he did last year
I see what you did there
Serwinowski is on the move, but will end up somewhere other than Tampa Bay, I'm told. So it's a three-team deal, but not sure about the other team. That's not my problem at the moment, for sure
The three-team deal has Serwinowski going somewhere. other than Tampa Bay, I'm told
LHP Adam Serwinowski and RHP Brian Van Belle going to the Rays for Littell, sources tell me
Reds haven't finalized the deal for Zack Littel yet, but it has been agreed to, according to sources
The margin of the game is Pages dropping this in foul ground and Outman not being able to make one of the robberies of the year.
Holy moly... Spencer Steer was saved when Pages couldn't hold onto a ball as he leapt at the left-field wall, and then has a homer turn into a triple when James Outman nearly robs him, but still good enough to get two runs in. Reds lead 4-2. What an at-bat by Steer. 11 pitches
Oh, I could throw some Fay-isms at ya....
Noelvi Marte's first career chance in RF comes with two outs and bases loaded in the 8th in a tie game against the Dodgers. He made the catch
neither are prospects, so there's that
Yes, only those two teams have budgets.
yes. for this year.
Reds position change for tonight's game -- Gavin Lux to LF, Austin Hays to DH
The cash considerations the Reds are sending to the Pirates are basically just to make up the difference between Rogers' salary and Hayes', making it a neutral money move in the books
Terry Francona said Ke'Bryan Hayes is flying from San Francisco to Chicago tonight and then well fly from Chicago to Cincinnati tomorrow morning
Luis Mey, who was recalled to fill Rogers’ spot on the roster, is here at GABP
Trade official. Reds get Hayes, sending Stafura, Roger’s and cash considerations to PIT. Luis Mey is being recalled
Was told Hunter Greene was fine despite a trainer coming out in his last inning of work in Omaha
A batter later hit a laser beam off of the wall and Pat Kelly walked to the mound to make a pitching change. Guess someone was already warmed up. Greene exits after 2.1IP, 5H, 2ER, 0BB, 6K, 50 pitches, 38 strikes, and runners on the corners.
Hunter Greene is currently being visited by the trainer and manager, but the camera cut away from the mound so we can't see anything that's going on, the body language, or anything like that. Greene is staying in the game. Bullpen remains inactive. So good news?
Think even Tommy was surprised this one got out for a tank and an early lead.
FYI, told that OF Héctor Rodríguez was just getting a regular day off for Louisville. Stand down.
TJ Friedl has gone to Las Vegas, where is wife is in labor. Rece Hinds on his way from Omaha to Cincinnati
John Cazale mid-70's type run
Oh my! This is pretty big. And, well, I guess you can mark Clase off the trade candidate list, which is much less important than the matter at hand, but wow.
Totals for rare feats: 5 20-strikeout outings in 9 IP 24 perfect games 302 no-hitters (excluding perfectos) 350 cycles (h/t @EliasSports) And now 20 four-homer games! And 9 individual 6-run games since 1900!
From Reds: The Reds placed RHP Scott Barlow on the paternity list; recalled RHP Luis Mey from AAA-Louisville.
Weird that Francisco Lindor comes up to the Skyline jingle www.youtube.com/watch?v=-10Q...
he most certainly was not
Noelvi Marte's first OF appearance in majors or minors Friedl 8 McLain 4 De La Cruz 6 Hays DH Steer 3 Stephenson 2i Marte 9 Espinal 5 Joe 7 Abbott 1
From Reds: TJ Friedl became the second Reds batter in the modern era to be hit by a pitch 3 times in a game, (Derek Dietrich 6/21/2019 at Mil), tying the Major League record accomplished many times.
this one
I mean, if you're only gonna get four hits to this point, all of 'em may as well go over the fence
Looks like Moeller's Miles McBride is throwing out the first pitch for the Mets tonight... would be cool if Moeller grad Brent Suter threw the last pitch
Seeing Dave Roberts honor my friend Scott Miller during the stand up to cancer moment kind of brought tears to my eyes. Miss him so much.
Reds take Oregon OF Mason Neville to start Day 2 of the draft with their fourth-round pick (114). The Reds drafted Neville in 2022, but he chose to go to college instead, going to Arkansas before transferring to Oregon for 2025. He led the nation with 26 HR
Reds' third-round pick is RHP Mason Morris from Ole Miss
Reds take RHP Aaron Watson with their 2nd round pick. A 6-5 high schooler from Florida. Watson committed to the University of Florida
Here's @keithlaw.bsky.social on the Reds' pick www.nytimes.com/athletic/liv...
Reds take SS Steele Hall with their first pick in this year's draft. Reds have been steadfast in their approach of taking the best player available, which is really the only way I think you can approach the MLB Draft.
From Reds: The Reds activated OF Jake Fraley (right shoulder sprain) from the 10-day IL; optioned IF Christian Encarnacion-Strand to AAA-Louisville (post-game on July 11).

Trevino’s second pitch to Heriberto Hernandez didn’t register on StatCast, so it’s possible that was slower. Of the 12 slowest pitches of the StatCast era, Trevino threw six of them Tuesday night.
So, as far as I can tell, Jose Trevino’s fifth pitch to Agustín Ramírez in the ninth inning was the third-slowest pitch of the StatCast era (since 2015). The slowest recorded pitch was 30.1 mph from Texas’ Brock Holt against Oakland’s Matt Chapman.

Interesting read about Bluesky and @theathletic.bsky.social www.niemanlab.org/2025/07/blue...
Hunter Greene will not make his rehab start tomorrow. He felt soreness and had an MRI today
One more from Reds: Additionally today, INF/OF Connor Joe (Hand, Mouth, and Foot Disease) will begin a rehabilitation assignment tonight at AAA-Louisville.
From the Reds: The Reds today activated from the 10-day injured list INF Noelvi Marte (left oblique strain); activated from the 15-day IL RHP Graham Ashcraft (right groin strain); optioned to AAA-Louisville INF/OF Ryan Viladeand RHP Sam Benschoter.
youtu.be/ZnHmskwqCCQ?...
One more… from Reds: Signed RHP Buck Farmer to the Complex League retro to 6/30.
From Reds: The Reds selected the contract of RHP Sam Benschoter (BEN-scooter, #63) from AAA-Louisville; recalled LHP Sam Moll from AAA-Louisville; optioned RHP Joe La Sorsa and RHP Connor Phillips to AAA-Louisville (post-game on June 30); transferred the rehab assignment of INF Noelvi Marte to AAA
