Brady Singer
For the most part this season, Brady Singer has pitched well. But he has had a few missteps along the way. One of those came in his last outing when he gave up seven runs in just 2.1 innings against the Nationals.
The splits for Singer are noticeable this year. Right-handed hitters have been solid, but unspectacular against him this season. Lefties have been able to hit for a quality average and have gotten on base at a solid clip. But where they separate from righties is that they are hitting for a good amount of power.
Splits

Shane Baz
Similar to Singer, Shane Baz has been good for much of the year but has had a few clunker starts along the way. In his last outing he gave up eight runs in 4.0 innings and gave up two homers.
Baz has reverse splits in 2025. Right-handed hitters are hitting .257 and slugging .481 against him this year. Lefties, though, are hitting just .233 with a .381 slugging percentage and making far less contact. Not shown below are his home and road splits, which are drastic. On the road his ERA is 2.91, while at home it’s 6.33.
Splits

We are in a playoff hunt, and Espinal should never start vs any righties.
However, maybe it’s the opposing pitchers reverse splits. I like Francona a lot, but his ‘dedication’ to Espinal seems misplaced.
Hoping he goes 4 for 4 with 3 homeruns to make me look dumb.
Steer is dealing with a Quad issue. It is either Espinal or Joe.
I have seen enough of Conner Joe.
or Stephenson. or Benson in OF and Lux at 1B.
Either would be preferable.
Or actually bring up a player from AAA.
maybe Fraley at first and Benson in right field?
agree Jim, that would work too
Marte needs to learn 1B. It makes no sense Espinal at 1B and Marte at 3B.
Espinal went 0/2 with a walk and turned a double play. Not stellar but serviceable.
Stephenson is 3 for 4 with a home run off of Baz but Stephenson is not in the lineup. (Trevino is 1 for 2 with a single and a K.)
The rest of the Reds are 1 for 19 with 7 K against this guy.
~
Baz’s career numbers show that he’s better against LHB than RHB.
Baz was really effective in April and June of this year.
The good news is that he was bad in May and he’s been bad in July.
Want some more good news?… It’s still July.
I think if the Reds were tied for the division lead with the Cubs and Brewers and the Cardinals at least 5 games arrears of the lead, the Fangraphs playoff odds would still have the Cards with a better chance than the Reds of making the playoffs.
Fangraphs system projection seems to hate Reds..
Them and Keith Law … 😉
+10,000
I don’t know what the Cardinals’ remaining schedule is but the Reds’ schedule is brutal. Only 16 of their 57 games are against bad teams.
They have to 11-5 in those games and then 21-20 against the good teams to get to 87 wins.
Fangraphs’ 18% for the Reds looks a bit optimistic if you ask me.
BBRef has them at 32% btw
Crazy. But let’s go with it!
As things stand, we can expect Baz to be very tough for the Reds today…Hopefully , the offense will come through and Singer will bounce back from his last disastrous outing
Rays career numbers vs Singer
Aranda (#3 hitter) is 3 for 6 with a 2B and a HR, 1 K
Looks like the rest of the Rays in today’s lineup are a combined 3 for 26 with 8 K
Thaiss is 0 for 3 with 2 K
Lowe (batting 5th!) is 0 for 7 with 2 K
At my house (per my personal weather station) it’s 95.2 with a heat index feel of 114.6 … 😮 I guess I’ll stay inside.
Let’s knuckle down and take the series. Here’s to Singer going 6+ and us whacking the ever-living snot out of the Rays.
Time for a Sunday Pig Kicking!!
48 degrees last night out here in the PNW. High of 64 today.
What’s for dinner Mark?
Leftovers, Lex. Probably the grilled chicken and peppers/onions from last week on a tortilla with a boatload of Mexican blend cheese. Add some sour cream, salsa, and probably homemade guac.
Getting closer to the hopeful lineup from 2023 – no CES, but Marte moving up, and the 1st 3 look fine. Like Trevino here, and at least Espy is at #9. Still need a big bat, another bat, and 2 more for the bullpen. Get a big enough lead and use the end of the bullpen.
Does Steer have a clause in his contract that says he cannot be put on DL? Didn’t think so. Also, one of our very top gloves, with absolutely no power is starting at the easiest defensive position to play, which in MLB is a power bat position. Shouldn’t happen
Well good news he is batting 357 this month. LOL
? Steer has been horrible
Espy ok. Fine in a pinch I guess, but Lux 1b and Benson OF improves us both ways
Nice peg from Trevino!!
Man, Bentley is in such a good mood. He likes winning as much as we do I guess.
I love it when the Reds are winning!
And I also enjoy it when Larkin is away from the broadcast booth.
😉
Good start to the game by Singer. Keep it up.
what it could be a struggling inning by Singer, finished quickly and unscathed
I was surprised to see only 8 pitches. If you’re going to hit a guy, do it early I suppose.
Alright, alright, nice back to back hits.
Elly’s evil twin makes an unfortunate appearance.
Just froze him on that last strike
Heck of a pitch though. Froze him
Thank you Rays for yet another run!!
Nice hustling Friedl. That worked out nicely.
OK, Lux. Just lift one a bit.
Or completely mishit one like that and still get an RBI.
Original comment is in moderation (I see why now).
Squibber off the end of the bat gets it done anyway.
A run thanks to that double steal is nice to see.
Oh yes
A double Steal!!!
Good, the offense managed to score 2 runs , now Singer have to hold on Rays hitters
That pitch started inside and then over the plate to Marte. Baz has some good break on his slider or breaking pitch there.
Baz has four games this year with 9+ Ks
But two of them were against the Royals and the Pirates.
Don’t know much about Baz, however that fastball runs up and his movement that froze Marte and Elly was very impressive.
I remember a game last year where he struck out a bunch of Reds.
He was the Pirates’ first round pick in the Hunter Greene draft.
Pirates made a bad trade even though their 2025 pitching staff is strong.
Nice start, Reds! Keep it rollin’.
Enjoying the heck out of Sam LeCure on the radio this weekend!
Tommy and Sam? If I weren’t so fond of Cowboy, I’d tune that audio feed in.
AAA Bats are off to a 6-2 lead at the middle of the third inning. CES had a home run last night and already has another one today.
Always like updates that involve positive news with CES and Hinds.
Not Hinds day so far, 0-2 with a K. He also had a HR on Saturday though and a HR and double Friday (or maybe that was Thurs).
The Bats have the bats with these recent promotions, that’s for sure.
They’re fun to watch.
Nice play by Marte.
Two really nice innings from Singer with a nice play by Marte. That’s fun to watch.
Great throw.
2 K; 0 walks
The only hit was not a hard hit ball.
Singer only pitched 2.1 innings last time but one of those WAS a 1-2-3 inning.
Excellent 2 innings from Singer. Has them guessing.
Nice job by Marte, but don’t overlook Espinal tracking it and hauling it in with a runner bearing down on first.
That was a slick glove on the part of Espy for sure.
And a good AB so far.
Yep indeed. He’s having a really good July.
His spot starts seem to be where he excels.
Whats the deal with Trevino? What used to be double is now fly out. He just missed the ball or his exit velocity dropped?
He remembered who he’s always been.
Could be. We are who we are.
Hard to believe he is who he is on the back of his baseball card. Go figure
Let’s not forget about the greatest Reds catcher ever Austin Wynns. Batting .196 since being traded to the A’s. Who would have thought it.
oh its a knuckle curve that Baz has.
Nice at bat by Espinal!!
Went to a Banana Ball game last night in Norfolk.
Very entertaining.
Hotter than Hades.
Watched the condensed Reds game when I got home.
Good stuff.
Would love 1 more win today.
The report of TJ’s demise on here has been greatly exaggerated.
On base 2 more time today already.
Welcome to Redleg Nation.
100000% agree
He’s earned my respect this season. I already thought a lot of him but he’s been pretty spectacular this season overall.
Great AB by McLain.
Great battling by Mclain here
McLain can’t come through but the Reds managed to Baz going on 52 pitches after 2 IP…it should cut down his outing today
It has a feel of we’re up by 10 doesn’t it? Trapped game.
Yep. Got to avoid that.
No runs, but really pressed Baz that inning. I’ll take that and get us into their pen earlier this game. Nice job by 9-1-2 to work counts.
Anyone else think Baz’s facial hair looks a bit “odd”. The very light around the mouth and the extreme 5-o’clock shadow … 😮
Yeah: I can’t tell whether he shaved off that part of his beard recently and hasn’t had time to tan, or he bleached it, or it’s naturally weird.
Hollywood Hulk Hogan tribute?
OK … that’s where I’ve seen the color before.
All 3 of those pitches were balls to the Walls.
Do I detect the influence of Banana Ball?
+1 to you catching it!
No walks, but two HBP … dial it back in, Singer.
Bike Helmets to the rescue once again!!
Singer is cruising even with the hit batters.
Catching the Rays at the right time, they’re not hitting anything
.660 OPS in their last 6 games
3-7 in their last 10
6-14 in their last 20
OK, Elly. We know you’ve been watching Baz. Smack one for us … 😉
Well … 😮
Knuckle curve hurts a lot Elly…
Elly’s evil twin must have locked Elly in a closet today.
Did I hear that he does have a twin?
Some broadcaster was talking and joking about a “twin” but it kinda sounded like it was actually just his brother who is not tall and athletic like Elly.
Hard to figure how he locked Elly in the closet, then. Trickery of some sort.
Elly does have a twin in real life. Pedro.
Ah ha! Now bring the run in, Jake.
Looks like a line drive in the box score 😀
Nice battle by Marte to extend the inning. Time for Jake to Rake.
More two-out hitting. Bodes well. Let’s see if we can bring at least one in.
Nice to see more aggressiveness with the stolen bases today.
+100000.
Yes. Tito must have dropped in on RLN and received an ear full.
I actually call him each night to read him the comments.
Every time I get the same response: HOW DID YOU GET THIS NUMBER?! PLEASE STOP CALLING ME! I AM NOT ABOVE CONTACTING THE AUTHORITIES!
@Doug Keep up the good work.
Better stop calling him, Doug. He might mean it.
@Doug Time for a few of us RLN guys to start pranking Tito. What’s his address?
100 Joe Nuxhall Way, Cincinnati, Ohio 45202
I don’t like the Reds wasting chances to pad the lead…
True. Would have been nice to get at least 1 in.
True, however they are making Baz work and battling running his pitch count up.
Not quite … but still made Baz work harder than he wanted to. He’s not long for this game.
Big emotions in Cooperstown today. Well earned induction for The Cobra. I’m sure his son will do him proud with the speech on his behalf.
One of my favorite players.
“The Throw” to Gary Carter is still a favorite highlight reel.
Let’s not forget him losing the ball in the lights and then grabbing it and gunning down Rice at 3rd. Rice was shocked.
Watched a lot of his playing days as a kid and he was so fun to watch.
Sad he passed away before being there in person but he had a great career.
Put a muzzle on Sadak … take a breath dude !
Even Cowboy can’t calm him down today. He must have an extra bag of words he needs to use today.
OMG, LOL@ extra bag of words!!!!
He only annoys me when the Reds are losing.
That’s really the only time I find him super annoying as well.
I was thinking same thing!!!
Singer cooking so far. Determined.
He is at that. Looking very relaxed and in control out there. Potential damage has been minimized behind him and by his focus on the batters.
Reds need to put some more runs on the board. They’ve missed a couple of chances and are still just a bloop and a blast from trouble
+1000000
Agreed. Would be nice to get to a 4 or 5 run lead.
Rays bullpen looks like they’d prefer heading to CVG.
Let Baz off the hook too easily that inning.
Back to Singer to keep shutting them down.
Should the Reds look at extending Singer?
He’s turning 29 next week, so he should still have a few good years left.
He’s not an extraordinary pitcher, but he’s about league-average and will keep his team in most games. He’s also a dependable innings eater. He could be a very nice #4 or #5 on a staff that includes Greene, Lodolo, Burns, and Abbott.
I’d offer him 4 years, $40 mil as an opening offer and negotiate from there.
Worth thinking about. Of course it was just a few days ago that people wanted dfa him.
We’re a bit fickle like that 😉
Not opposed to the idea. He’s showing us his best self today.
He’s under contract for another year. So I’d say no, not at this time.
I’m fine with him being a part of the rotation.
in 2026
Exactly. Arb 4 next year and then a FA. They still have Lowder,Williamson ,Aguilar and Petty.
I believe so. He seems reliable and healthy which is a big plus. He’s competitive.
He should be affordable which we know the Reds love.
Singer taking a page out of the Abbott and Lodolo starts. He looks really good today.
Singer is absolutely getting it done so far.
Time to start hitting, Boyos.
It apparently wasn’t time.
Time is relative … 😛
It is indeed. Perhaps now it–time–is right.
Reds need to score more runs , Singer has been good but they have to add should not rely on …
As Cowboy noted, after the break Singer was out of synch and was too strong for his breaking stuff to to work.
Baz has shown grit today.
Unfortunately, he certainly has.
Good news is that it took 100 pitches to get 5 innings in.
Baz has Elly’s number today!!
He’s thrown Elly 14 pitches and Elly only took 3 as balls.
Sometimes certain MLB pitchers just has stuff that certain players can’t lock on to.
Baz does have average 9 K per 9 innings over his career. He’s good young pitcher. Drafted #12 in a first round fwiw
3 Ks for Elly on knuckle curves… He hadn’t been struck out 3 times since a long time ago…
Elly working on a GS today. Oh, well. Hes done his part of late.
Elly swinging at trash pitches today.
That should be it for Baz.
Hope the Reds don’t rue the chances they missed against him.
Urbaez was pulled today after 3 ab’s anyone know why? He getting called up?? Lol
Injury I believe.
Correct. Didn’t seem serious, but he’s been dealing with something for the last week or so.
Doug, is Urbaez a poor fielder?
Why have we never seen him called up?
Thank ‘s guys
Baz at 100. Yay.
Maybe after 100 pitches Baz is done…He really settled after the 2nd inning not allowing much to Reds hitters
Yeah. We were lucky to get to him early. He settled in m, found his FB and curveball and been tough since.
The boys have a couple of weak infield RBI taps for their 2 runs.
Nobody really squared up Baz today.
They will either have the make the 2 stand up or do some damage against the pen.
I’d prefer the latter.
I think they’ll get hits and walks against their pen again.
And hopefully today hits + walks = insurance runs.
I hope so, but this guy is channeling a young Chapman.
Montgomery begs to differ. He said here’s my FB, hit it if you can.
Montgomery HAD been really bad in his last 20 games before today.
Singer dealing. 6 innings, no runs, pc at 76. Awesome!
Tony and Pagan pitched last 2 days.
So they might not be used.
Barlow….Moll maybe will have to get some late outs?
I would imagine Barlow and Moll maybe Suter?
Time for the offense to go to work.Two may be enough but lets leave no doubt and add on some more.
Yikes. Bring Baz back.
Montgomery had some nasty stuff. Maybe the rays will sell him to us after we sweep their butts
We’ve gone a bit flat and the Montgomery kid didn’t help in any way.
Need one more solid inning from Singer. I’d take two more, but I don’t want to seem greedy.
I dunno Mark, I think Baz settled in and gray made a great over the shoulder catch or two runs would of scored. I think its more about the Rays pitching. Yes Montgomery was lights out!!
Okay to be greedy, considering the state of the pen and the Dodgers coming to town tomorrow.
Man Montgomery has some serious heat on his fastball. WOW
Makes you wonder what happened with his ERA at 5+.That could be our lefty pen piece right there.
And it sounds like they just called him back up. Maybe he’s got control issues?
BS not dealing any bs on this fine day.
Reds will face three tough pitchers for Dodgers. I am hopeful they can take 2 out of 3 from LA.
Dodgers are batting .220 as a team in July.
Their lineup is incredible but maybe we’re catching em at the right time.
They love facing power pitchers but this the first time they’ll see Burns
Dodgers are a .500 team on the road.
7 strong with 85 pitches. Talk about a QS.
Could really use a little extra run support now. Somebody find Jobu, please.
First two game we have score late.No reason to not think we can’t do it again today.Hold em and add on.
Elly’s gonna hit a homerun his next ab. Calling it now!!
Attaboy Singer, just sinker and slider got him through 7 shut out innings.
Very impressed with Singer today. More of this please.
Them’s some angry-looking clouds 😮
Might be a solution.
Good riddance, Monty.
Maybe it’s my angle, but that wind-up and motion look a bit funky … like it would be hard to pick up the ball.
Lecure is talking a lot about the arm angles of the Rays pitchers.
He seems to think they have the Reds at a disadvantage today.
But their bullpen is usually a problem for them
The first two guys out of it have looked formidable.
Yabbut on the whole their pen hasn’t been strong this weekend
Trevino has a little “stepping in the bucket” syndrome going on.
Boring game, but their bats are dead. W is a W
I enjoy these types of games. Rays starter settled down and their bullpen lights so far. Singer pitching well. Playoff type baseball
Hope they stay dead.Reds will ride the starters until then hope we have a lead late and the pen can bring it home.The game today is just like so many we have played.Singer regardless has done his job again today.
It’s incredible how the Reds pitchers mistakes often become home runs…
I’m pretty sure it’s true of all pitchers.
Yikes…
Suddenly, it’s a 1-run game.
Sure would have been nice to get another run or two off of Baz.
Squeaky bum time.
I find it odd that it’s not raining or thunder/lightning at the game. I’m in the Mason area for a work conference and it’s been pouring here with thunder and lightning for a while now. About 30 minutes north of the stadium.
They just showed the storm clouds behind right field on TV.
They better finish this one off quickly. Definitely don’t want a weather delay in the last innings of a game.
In a more perfect world, they’d call the game after the first drop of rain. As long as the Reds are ahead, Just this time.
Gray worked Singer to 10 pitches, then struck out, but he set the table perfectly for Walls. Excellent game though, Brady.
Yep. Cement mixers will fly to pretty much any MLB hitter.
This is where they need another high leverage bullpen arm.
Santillan has been great, however…
Great until his arm falls off … 😮
Yep!!!
Rain or runs … either one works at this point.
Would Pagán be available today?
I bet he is if it’s still a one run game.
Tony not tired. Good job!
He’s been a blast to see him pitch. Even with his heavy workload he’s been so consistent this season.
I see Jim “clickbait” Bowden is proposing Collier, Petty, and Serenowski for 2 months of Suarez. I guess that’s why he’s a columnist these days he not a GM. It doesn’t feel like a move that Krall would sign off on.
Sounds good to me. If Reds are serious then you gotta trade some prospects you may not want to trade.
Pagan warming up. Got a hand it to Francona he doesn’t do something just because. I would think Moll or Suter to close.
You dance with what brought you.Tito is pushing the envelope and he knows it and we know it.Now If the GM doesn’t got out and get another arm or two then its on him.Our needs of a power bat and power arms just didn’t happen,Been there for a longggggg time.GO REDS.Add on 4 or 5 and bring in Suter to close it out.
Yes – this is a 1/2 inning we may not have seen for a while – the manager, the catcher, reliever under orders to throw strikes come what may. Setting up the situation.
Well, here we go…
If I’m not wrong Reds have 16 hitters retired in order since 3rd inning… Not good…
Your not wrong and its not good
Keep in mind this is potentially what will happen come playoff time if Reds make it. No one will ask how many Reds went down in order if they win and right now the Reds sweep the rays!!!
Kudos to the Rays pitching.
Alright, Emilio.
1-run lead to protect.
Step up and shut them down.
Done!
OK, with weather possibly moving in at GABP, let’s say this once and keep it straight.
Unless the Rays tie or take the lead in the top of the 9th, this is an official game with the Reds winning should the weather stop it before a normal ending.
The only way the Reds can lose is if they get all 27 outs and are behind after their 27th out.
If the game is stopped by weather before then and cannot resume, the Reds win if they are ahead. If the score is tied or the Rays are ahead, the game is suspended to be finished later.
Thanks for the rules clarification.
Let’s just get Caminero and wrap it.
Nice catch Friedl!
Boy, have Santillan and Pagan earned their paychecks in this series. Game ball goes to Singer, however.
Sweep!
Boom.
SWEET SWEEP!!!!
SWEEEP!
Sweep! Man that feels good. Singer with a gem.
SWEEP!!!!
Now 6 games over .500. Keep it rollin’
Bring on the Dodgers.
Great job, Pagan! And the Tiger! And Singer!
Pitching has been great this series and for the most part this season. Great job today.
REDS SWEEP! Great game by Singer-Santi-Pagán… Really good pitching by the Reds in this series… FIRST TIME this season 6 games above .500 mark…
Message sent, Mr. Krall.
It’s getting interesting.
Nice job Reds !! Krall/Meador , you 2 are
Officially ON NOTICE !!! Players have done their parts , NOW DO YOURS !!!!!
Another outstanding win by the Redlegs. Tito has them playing like a team. Now it’s Nick Krall’s job to get them some help!
Pitching is keeping Reds afloat
Need to improve hitting
I feel the 2 runs in the first inning was almost like the carry over from game yesterday
2 squibbers and a big double-steal.
At least there won’t be any “at least they won the series” posts if they had somehow lost it.
Dave Parker induction now on MLB Network
Great win.Reds relied on their strength to get it done and they did it,Tito went all in with the Tiger and Pagan Great job by Singer to make two runs stand up inning after inning and pitch after pitch.
You do remember Gavin Lux’s RBI ? Tremendous!
I love watching games with good pitching. Nice win. Bring on the next team.
Nothing more nothing less the next team upcoming is Los Angeles Dodgers… Let’s go and keep winning
This team is definitely on pace to overtake SD and it’s possible this team can overtake Philly. It will take some doing (and some luck) to overtake either the Cubs or Brewers (although I think the Brewers could collapse).
But this Reds team would be very dangerous in the playoffs. If it make one of the top two wildcard spots – that’s the key.
Cubs vs Brewers starting series tomorrow….
6 games over for the first time since 2021 (unless I missed one). No more than a game out of the WC at day’s end. It’s time for Krall to hold up his end of the deal. The team has been playing well, so they’ve done their part .
