PHILLIES lineup

8 Revere
6 Rollins
4 Utley
3 Howard
5 M. Young
7 Brown
9 Nix
2 Quintero
1 Kendrick

[50YrRedsFan]

It looked like Mesoraco was getting good swings in his last game. I don't know why Dusty won't give him some playing time. Maybe he's trying to get Hanigan out of his funk.

[New York Red]

Choo lifetime vs Kendrick: 2-3, 2 HR, 4 RBI :beerme:

[DocRed]

Will the game get started before the rain comes?

[jmac]

Will the game get started before the rain comes?

I live in KY and dont know about your area ? Is the forecast bad ?

[Red Raindog]

I live in KY and dont know about your area ? Is the forecast bad ?

Radar forecast looks ugly but they are not always accurate (meteorology major - which isn't worth much!)

[LeDoux]

Radar forecast looks ugly but they are not always accurate (meteorology major - which isn't worth much!)

If this game is rained out I think we should all hold you responsible. You and Dusty.

[RedsBrick]

Happy to see XP getting the start.

[holster10]

Obviously, Hanigan is a Dusty fav....ran or shine or prolonged hitting slumps.

[RedsMan3203]

Lets go Redz.

[DocRed]

Obviously, Hanigan is a Dusty fav....ran or shine or prolonged hitting slumps.

He needed a new security blanket after Stubbs left...

[cincyinco]

So, delayed. Any idea when or if they will get the game underway?

[DocRed]

Forecast not looking good...

[R_Webb18]

not raining for me anymore

[Reds Fanatic]

So, delayed. Any idea when or if they will get the game underway?

They are supposed to provide an update around 7:45. They are waiting on some rain just to the west

[Raisor]

Is there a banana phone update?

[malcontent]

Happy to see XP getting the start.
Me too. Dunno why no Meso though.

[Red Raindog]

If this game is rained out I think we should all hold you responsible. You and Dusty.

fair enough

[Tom Servo]

Is there a banana phone update?
Marty is not wearing a shirt.

[Gallen5862]

Some one called in on the banana phone and said that Mike Leake's nickname was plug. He asked if that was correct. Marty said that he hadn't heard that.

[Gallen5862]

The game is expected to start around 8:15 PM.

[DocRed]

Some one called in on the banana phone and said that Mike Leake's nickname was plug. He asked if that was correct. Marty said that he hadn't heard that.

LOL, I don't get it...

[RedsMan3203]

Marty is not wearing a shirt.

Just to clear things up, I didn't call. ;)

[50YrRedsFan]

Pirates have 4 runs and 6 hits off of Westbrook in 2 innings, but it is now raining in Pittsburgh.
4-2 Bucs over Cards, bot 2.

[mgbrown66]

First pitch in 15 minutes?

[R_Webb18]

nope not until at least 8:30

[DocRed]

Has it even rained down there since 7 pm???

[Billy_Bearcat]

Has it even rained down there since 7 pm???

Possibly the classic "string it out to sell more concessions before canceling" routine. Been on the end of that one a time or two before.

[reds1869]

Has it even rained down there since 7 pm???

There was lightning pretty recently.

[Kc61]

Mind reading: Dusty is using the offensive player, Paul, in LF. Giving up defense for offense.

The other "optional" position is catcher. Dusty uses the defensive man there, Hanigan. Doesn't want to give up defense in two spots.

Not saying this is right or wrong decision. Who knows? Just a view on what the thinking might be.

[Reds]

the radar, to me, makes it look like passing showers will continue until for some time... hopefully they can get it all in without a lot of delays

[R_Webb18]

starting

[_Sir_Charles_]

And this game is underway!


Finally. :O)

[foxfire123]

If they're getting the same storm system we got last night and this morning, it will be wave after wave of showers and storms.... Lucky to finish this one tonight OR get tomorrow's game in.....

[Reds Fanatic]

Hour and 20 minute delay but there is more rain to the west

[R_Webb18]

1 out

[Reds Fanatic]

Revere grounds out to 2nd.

[Reds]

A lead after 5 innings with this weather would be even nicer than usual...

[_Sir_Charles_]

Not-so-subtle dig at Devin Mesoraco by Thom there.

[R_Webb18]

check swing out

[Reds Fanatic]

Rollins strikes out swinging.

[_Sir_Charles_]

K

[Reds Fanatic]

Nice play by Phillips. 0-0 mid 1st.

[R_Webb18]

nice play by brandon. 3 out

[Gizmo]

Yawn, another play by Phillips.

[texasdave]

Looking for a big game from Homer. Make that 'hoping for a big game from Homer'.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Phillips with the leatha! There are few things more fun to watch than Brandon Phillips playing defense. It just makes me smile. :O)

[JKam]

Bailey looks to have his good stuff today, at least compared to his last outing. Fastball is moving and popping.

[Gunner44]

Votto puts one in the outfield seats for the firet time in a while tonight

[Reds Fanatic]

Choo grounds out to 2nd.

[Reds Fanatic]

Cozart singles to left.

[Gunner44]

Nm. Apparently I missed a homer in the last two games...not sure where

[Reds Fanatic]

Votto grounds out to 2nd. Cozart to 2nd.

[Reds Fanatic]

Nm. Apparently I missed a homer in the last two games...not sure where

He got one in his last AB on Sunday

[Reds Fanatic]

4 pitch walk to Phillips. 1st and 2nd.

[Roy Tucker]

I had tickets to this game but my wife and I bailed. A wet and late Tuesday night didn't sound like fun.

I'm a wimp.

[Gunner44]

Thanks fanatic

[Reds Fanatic]

Bruce strikes out swinging. 0-0 after 1.

[Maker_84]

bruce does what bruce does

[WebScorpion]

Votto puts one in the outfield seats for the firet time in a while tonightI thought he homered in his final at bat in Pittsburgh.:confused:

[Reds]

bruce is an interesting hitter. :|

[RedsfaninMT]

I had tickets to this game but my wife and I bailed. A wet and late Tuesday night didn't sound like fun.

I'm a wimp.

Ummm. It sounds like a heck of a lot fun to me.

[Reds Fanatic]

Howard flies out to center.

[Reds Fanatic]

Nice stop by Cozart but an infield hit for Young

[Reds]

Ummm. It sounds like a heck of a lot fun to me.

maybe if it wasn't with his wife it would be fun :D

[Reds Fanatic]

Looked like a DP but Brandon bobbled it. Runner goes to 2nd on the ground out. 2 outs.

[Reds Fanatic]

Nix pops out to 3rd. 0-0 mid 2nd.

[Gunner44]

Webscorpion...I realized I missed that somehow and I was listening to the game lol. My bad

[redsfaninbsg]

Any game in which dogs are allowed in the stadium is a no-go for me.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Laynce Nix....this is one of those guys I was sad to see go. He's never been very productive, but I just liked the guy. And all the "y" fun in the threads was a hoot.

[Reds Fanatic]

Frazier fouls out to 1st.

[Reds Fanatic]

Paul grounds out to 2nd.

[Roy Tucker]

I had tickets to this game but my wife and I bailed. A wet and late Tuesday night didn't sound like fun.

I'm a wimp.


Ummm. It sounds like a heck of a lot fun to me.

I'm old. I don't like getting wet. The alarm will still go off early tomorrow AM. And I've been to a lot of Reds game.

Plus I'm a wimp.

[Reds Fanatic]

According to the weather channel app rain is expected to start again around 10 PM. It would be a good night to score early.

[RollyInRaleigh]

Hannigan is an offensive black hole right now.

[_Sir_Charles_]

According to the weather channel app rain is expected to start again around 10 PM. It would be a good night to score early.

Right you are. But then again, it's ALWAYS a good night to score early. ;)

[Reds Fanatic]

Hanigan grounds out to 2nd. 0-0 after 2.

[50YrRedsFan]

Juan Francisco has 2 HR's for the Braves tonight

[WebScorpion]

Having all kinds of trouble with MLB.TV ... It keeps pausing and doing the buffering thing while the game is going on. :angry:

[Reds]

Phillies haven't scored in the first 5 innings in 4 games, hopefully 5 after 3 more shutout innings here

[Raisor]

Hells kitchen is over, and I'm here. Miss me?

[_Sir_Charles_]

Going into today, Ryan Hanigan is hitting .061. His babip is .069. He's due for a major turnaround. 5 bb's and 5 k's. He'll be fine.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Hells kitchen is over, and I'm here. Miss me?

Wait....who are you again?

[Reds Fanatic]

Quintero strikes out looking

[Reds Fanatic]

Kendrick flies out to center.

[nate]

3rd inning chat is open!

[Reds Fanatic]

Revere grounds out to Bailey. 0-0 mid 3rd.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Nice play by Homer. 1-2-3 they go.

[Reds]

homer rollin' along here :beerme:

[Reds]

oh BTW, i found a 1990 box of UNOPENED 1990 World Series Wheaties! It's badass

i got 22 year old breakfast ready for tommorrow

[MrRedLegger]

Maybe it's because it's so early into the season, but these games against the Phillies doesn't have their usual high-tension-series-feel. Anyone else feel that way?

[50YrRedsFan]

By the time Mesoraco gets into a game again, he'll have to be reminded where his position is.

[Reds Fanatic]

Bailey grounds out to the pitcher.

[_Sir_Charles_]

oh BTW, i found a 1990 box of UNOPENED 1990 World Series Wheaties! It's badass

i got 22 year old breakfast ready for tommorrow

Have the paramedics standing by....just in case. :O)

[Reds Fanatic]

Choo walks

[Tom Servo]

what Choo know bout walks

[Reds Fanatic]

Cozart grounds out to 3rd. Choo to 2nd. 2 outs.

[WebScorpion]

Choo draws a walk ... he keep his on base streak going. He's been on every game! :thumbup:

[Tom Servo]

laynce nix dance mix strikes again

[Reds Fanatic]

Nix robs Votto. 0-0 after 3.

[Roy Tucker]

Maybe it's because it's so early into the season, but these games against the Phillies doesn't have their usual high-tension-series-feel. Anyone else feel that way?

It's the wet dog smell.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Fine grab by Nix. I thought that was an RBI for sure. Crud.

[TheBigLebowski]

We've been robbed a LOT this young season.

[Billy_Bearcat]

We've been robbed a LOT this young season.

Certainly feels that way.

[Reds Fanatic]

Rollins strikes out swinging. 3 Ks.

[_Sir_Charles_]

KKK

Don't say it Raisor.

[Reds Fanatic]

Utley singles to right

[foxfire123]

Gameday giving anyone else issues tonight?

[_Sir_Charles_]

Gameday giving anyone else issues tonight?

Yeah, it crashed completely for me.

[Reds Fanatic]

Cardinals Pirates were rained out with the Pirates leading 4-2 in the 3rd.

[Tom Servo]

Nice!

[Reds Fanatic]

Hanigan nails Utley at 2nd.

[TheBigLebowski]

Strike em out throw em out!!! EOI

[MrRedLegger]

simply. beautiful.

[reds44]

Clearly safe

[The Operator]

Is anyone having trouble with mlb.tv?

I can't get it to work at all.

[Reds Fanatic]

Good job by Cozart to block the base with his foot.

Howard strikes out swinging. 97 MPH fastball. 4 Ks. 0-0 mid 4th.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Strike em out Throw em out! Love it!

KKKK

[Tom Servo]

Clearly safe
I thought so at first, but on the replay looked like he was out.

[texasdave]

How did the ump miss that call at second?

[kbrake]

Clearly safe

I thought so too live but on the replay I think it may have been the right call. At least much closer than I first thought.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Is anyone having trouble with mlb.tv?

I can't get it to work at all.

Working fine here. But Pitch f/x died.

KKKKK

Ooops. Howard only had 1 strike on him when Utley was thrown out. So only KKKK. Sorry.

[TheBigLebowski]

Homer's putting it all out there...get the guy some runs...

[Chip R]

Nix robs Votto. 0-0 after 3.

He sure was playing Votto shallow.

[foxfire123]

Yeah, it crashed completely for me.

OK, not just charter then. Had to go to Gamecast instead.

[texasdave]

Bailey looks outstanding.

[Kc61]

Juan Francisco has 2 HR's for the Braves tonight

Hoover's ERA is what again?

Sorry, couldn't resist.

On with the game, let's get some runs off this guy.

[WebScorpion]

Is anyone having trouble with mlb.tv?

I can't get it to work at all.I couldn't get it working on my Windows 7 machine, but it's working fine on the Mac...they're on the same network. Odd. :confused:

BTW, Homer hit 97mph on that last fastball! :eek:

[TheBigLebowski]

Hoover's ERA is what again?

Sorry, couldn't resist.

On with the game, let's get some runs off this guy.

We never win trades with the Braves. Ever.

[Reds Fanatic]

Phillips grounds out to short.

[Reds Fanatic]

Bruce grounds out to 2nd on the first pitch

[Tom Servo]

We never win trades with the Braves. Ever.
Almost nobody does.

[50YrRedsFan]

Making Kendrick work this inning ...3 pitches, 2 outs

[Reds Fanatic]

Latest update is it looks like there may be more rain arriving in about 15 minutes

[kbrake]

I don't think I would be ready to call a winner in the Francisco Hoover trade.

[Reds Fanatic]

Frazier flies out to the track in left. 0-0 after 4.

[50YrRedsFan]

7 pitch inning, geesh

[_Sir_Charles_]

Frazier takes one to the wall. For the life of me I have NO CLUE how Frazier gets the ball that deep with a swing like that.

[Reds]

i'm predicting run/s in the 5th.

[Reds Fanatic]

Young grounds out to short.

[50YrRedsFan]

i'm predicting run/s in the 5th.

I hope so, 1 hit through 4 isn't gonna get it done.

[Reds Fanatic]

Brown strikes out swinging. 5 Ks.

[_Sir_Charles_]

KKKKK

[Reds Fanatic]

it starts to rain again

[redsfaninbsg]

It's now raining again.

[MrRedLegger]

KKKKKK

[_Sir_Charles_]

Homer's really got some gas tonight. Bringing it above 95 regularly with nice location and movement.

[Reds Fanatic]

Nix strikes out swinging. 0-0 mid 5th.

[_Sir_Charles_]

KKKKKK

[dubc47834]

Bailey is dealing tonite! Lookin really good.

[mgbrown66]

Bailey is DEALING tonight. Wow!

[50YrRedsFan]

Bailey is DEALING tonight. Wow!

So lets give him some offensive support

[Kc61]

How about Reds score a couple of runs and then a rainstorm until tomorrow?

[Reds]

One run here PLZ, then either we'll get rain or bailey will mow them down until they submit.

[Reds Fanatic]

Paul strikes out swinging.

[HometownHero]

How about Reds score a couple of runs and then a rainstorm until tomorrow?

Its the least that could happen after the Cardinals got a bad start washed away by the rain.

[Kc61]

Not a very inspiring at bat for XPaul. Hope he can be more selective than that. Swung at everything then ultimately K'd.

Lefty, righty, whatever, not a very good at bat.

[Chip R]

Not a very inspiring at bat for XPaul. Hope he can be more selective than that. Swung at everything then ultimately K'd.

Lefty, righty, whatever, not a very good at bat.

He doesn't want us to miss Heisey. ;)

[Reds]

so, yeah, 5 straight games for Philly w/o a run in the first 5 innings. Both teams are offensively slumping right now, that's kinda why these games don't have the same flair that was referenced earlier

[Reds Fanatic]

Hanigan lines a single to left.

[MrRedLegger]

Who bets Bailey gets a base hit?

[Tom Servo]

nice AB right there for Hanigan.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Nothing wrong with Hanigan's ability to make contact. THERE WE GO! Hanny!

[50YrRedsFan]

A hit for Hanny

[Reds]

Who bets Bailey gets a base hit?

Nope. HR i'm thinking :lol:

[Reds Fanatic]

Good bunt by Bailey. Hanigan to 2nd.

[_Sir_Charles_]

What's the rule on that? Bunted ball, hits the ground and then bounces up and hits the bat again. I thought he was supposed to be out?

[Kc61]

Good bunt by Bailey.

I was worried about the DP there, Hanigan doesn't run well.

[Reds]

What's the rule on that? Bunted ball, hits the ground and then bounces up and hits the bat again. I thought he was supposed to be out?

does it matter if the bat is in fair or foul territory when it hits it the second time?

[_Sir_Charles_]

does it matter if the bat is in fair or foul territory when it hits it the second time?

I'm not sure. That's why I was asking. I thought it had something to do with being in the batters box or not.

[Reds Fanatic]

Choo grounds out to 2nd. 0-0 after 5.

[Reds]

yeah, i forget :O i was askin too

0-0 after 5. my prediction was wrong. :(

[mgbrown66]

I'm not sure. That's why I was asking. I thought it had something to do with being in the batters box or not.
As long as he is in the batters box it should be a foul ball.

[Reds Fanatic]

does it matter if the bat is in fair or foul territory when it hits it the second time?

Yes in fair territory I am pretty sure he would have been out but in foul territory it is just a foul ball.

[_Sir_Charles_]

That's what I figured. Thanks guys.

[MrRedLegger]

1 pitch. 1 out.

[_Sir_Charles_]

I still can't figure out how Quintero still has a job. He's bad at baseball. Offense AND defense. Baffling.

[MrRedLegger]

Bailey has more K's than my dial-up modem

[Reds Fanatic]

Quintero grounded out to Bailey.

Kendrick strikes out swinging. 7 Ks

[_Sir_Charles_]

KKKKKKK

[_Sir_Charles_]

Bailey has more K's than my dial-up modem

Nice. :beerme:

[Reds Fanatic]

Revere grounds out to Bailey. 0-0 mid 6th.

[bigredmechanism]

Homer Bailey is on point.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Homer is just lights out right now. GET SOME RUNS FOR THIS MAN!!!!!!!

[Reds]

can't afford to waste this start by homer. goes both ways at 0-0 right now.

[Reds Fanatic]

Cozart grounds out to 3rd.

[kbrake]

We need a quick HR.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Gameday is back up and running btw.

[Kc61]

Reds haven't hit a lot of homers lately.

No Ludwick, Votto and Bruce not hitting for power.

Need to turn that around.

[MrRedLegger]

We need a quick HR.

Paging Jay Bruce...

[kbrake]

Reds haven't hit a lot of homers lately.

No Ludwick, Votto and Bruce not hitting for power.

Need to turn that around.

I thought tonight would Bruce's night to go yard finally but I'm not sure now. No one looks very good.

[_Sir_Charles_]

I'm sorry, but that trivia question was just wrong. Most wins by MLB active manager. Leyland wasn't listed in top 4? He's number 1 isn't he?

Nevermind. Since 2000. I missed that bit.

[Tom Servo]

blergh

[holster10]

votto just had 3 fat pitches and he fouled them all off.

[Kc61]

Votto must have been fooled. Pitch looked hittable, unusual that he K'd on that.

[Falcon7]

Beg Beg Beg... hit the BALL!!!

[Reds Fanatic]

Votto strikes out swinging.

[MrRedLegger]

I'm sorry, but that trivia question was just wrong. Most wins by MLB active manager. Leyland wasn't listed in top 4? He's number 1 isn't he?

I may be mistaken, but it was since 2000. Leyland didn't manage a team from 2000-2005. But he does have something like 1600 wins

[Tom Servo]

ugh

[Kc61]

Reds seem to be in one of those stretches. When they get good pitching they don't hit. When they hit, the pitchers blow up.

Frustrating.

[_Sir_Charles_]

I may be mistaken, but it was since 2000. Leyland didn't manage a team from 2000-2005. But he does have something like 1600 wins

Yeah, I missed the "since 2000" part.

[Roy Tucker]

Kendrick looks like he's throwing harder. Like he's his own reliever.

[redsfaninbsg]

Big inning for Homer coming up.

[Kc61]

Any word on Sean Marshall?

[holster10]

i was shocked Votto missed (fouled off) those pitches he normally drives to left-left center field.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Frustrating...but a really well pitched ballgame on both sides of the ball tonight. Classic pitchers duel.

The difference...Kendrick over 90 pitches. Homer under 70.

[Reds]

i thought marshall got DL'ed?

[Reds Fanatic]

Rolllins flies out to right on the first pitch

[Kc61]

i thought marshall got DL'ed?

He did. Any word on when he'll be ready?

[_Sir_Charles_]

Mistake pitch there....got away with it.

[Billy_Bearcat]

Is Kyle Kendrick really that good?

[_Sir_Charles_]

Oh dear god...STOP THE WOOING!

[Reds]

Is Kyle Kendrick really that good?

top 10 road record in the past couple seasons. he pitches well away from home

[Falcon7]

Votto strikes out swinging.

Strikes out with a half-ass swing

[Reds Fanatic]

Utley strikes out looking. 8 Ks.

[Stray]

Man Bailey has it all working tonight.

[Tadasimha]

Nice pitch

[_Sir_Charles_]

KKKKKKKK

[Roy Tucker]

Bailey has his no-hit stuff tonight.

[kbrake]

Strikes out with a half-ass swing

He got fooled man, it happens. Even to the best hitters.

[Reds Fanatic]

Howard flies out to the wall in left center. 0-0 mid 7th.

[_Sir_Charles_]

1-2-3 yet again! Homer looking really good.

[redsfaninbsg]

SCORE A RUN

[Kc61]

I'd get the pen up. Bailey is fine, but if Reds can get a couple of guys on, may need to pinch hit.

Runs are hard to come by, if there's a chance have to go for it.

[holster10]

Is that the splitter that Bailey is throwing at 86-87 mph? The bottom is absolutely dropping out of it what ever it is.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Homer at 75 pitches
Kendrick at 94 pitches

We'll see the Phillies pen. Homer may go 9.

[kbrake]

Is that the splitter that Bailey is throwing at 86-87 mph? The bottom is absolutely dropping out of it what ever it is.

Yes. He really has it working tonight.

[P.E.R#14]

Good evening Reds Fans!


Homer looking good. Let's get the bats out!

[RedsBrick]

Bruce, Frazier, X. Let's get it done fellas!

[_Sir_Charles_]

Is that the splitter that Bailey is throwing at 86-87 mph? The bottom is absolutely dropping out of it what ever it is.

Yeah, that's the split. Really nice sharp break.

[Reds Fanatic]

Bruce lines out to Howard.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Highway robbery. A rope from Jay....right at Howard. *sigh*

[Kc61]

Philly catcher frames every pitch, trying to steal the strikes. It isn't working and it's very annoying.

[Tom Servo]

For the love of god Reds, it's Kyle Kendrick.

[Falcon7]

He got fooled man, it happens. Even to the best hitters.

No it's Joey wanting to walk 1st. O crap I better swing...

[_Sir_Charles_]

Philly catcher frames every pitch, trying to steal the strikes. It isn't working and it's very annoying.

Quintero has always done that...and done it poorly. He's just a bad catcher.

[Reds Fanatic]

Frazier grounds out to 3rd. 2 outs.

[Reds Fanatic]

Paul grounds out to 3rd. 0-0 after 7.

[WVRedsFan]

Shades if April 2012. Pitcher pitching his heart out and hitters asleep. One swing wins this either way. Hope it's our way.

[_Sir_Charles_]

1-2-3 go the Reds.

Yes it's "just" Kyle Kendrick...but he's pitching a whale of a game. It's not a poor hitting performance by the Reds....just outstanding pitching. He may be done though. 106 pitches.

[redsfaninbsg]

Whoever loses this game is going to be kicking themselves.

[kbrake]

No it's Joey wanting to walk 1st. O crap I better swing...

He chased ball 4 because he wanted to walk?

[dougdirt]

For the love of god Reds, it's Kyle Kendrick.

Kyle Kendrick had a 2.87 ERA in the second half last season after he started using his change up a lot more often. It changed everything he was doing. More strikeouts, fewer walks and more groundballs.

[RedsBrick]

Big inning for Homer! Keep mowin' 'em down.

[redsfaninbsg]

The Phillies pitching is legit, especially if Halladay gets his act together.

[Tom Servo]

Kyle Kendrick had a 2.87 ERA in the second half last season after he started using his change up a lot more often. It changed everything he was doing. More strikeouts, fewer walks and more groundballs.
Next time tell me when a career #5 pitcher suddenly and quietly decides to become good so I don't look silly. :nono:

[Reds Fanatic]

Bastardo warming up.

Young strikes out swinging. 9 Ks.
