SWEEP!!

[redsfaninbsg]

Good time to give Choo a rest with the lefty pitching.

[leeech86]

First game with no Choo...

[HometownHero]

Hope Mike Leake has a good game in him. The Phillies bats are due to breakout with just 8 runs over the 5 games on their trip. They play the Cardinals for 4 after this so sweeping them and then watching them bounce back strong would be fun even if that second part isn't too realistic.

[HometownHero]

Leake's numbers vs most of these guys looks like a nightmare. 5 of the 7 he's faced are hitting at least .500 in small sample sizes with the two who don't still dangerous in Rollins and Utley.

[Gallen5862]

Espn2 is carrying the Reds game on Time Warner Cable.

[HometownHero]

Nice top of the first for Leake working around the one out single.

[Kc61]

Nice inning for Leake. Always root for this young pitcher. Hope he gains some consistency as he matures as a pitcher.

[LeDoux]

Nice inning for Leake. Always root for this young pitcher. Hope he gains some consistency as he matures as a pitcher.

Oh I root for him. But he gives me the jitters.

[WildcatFan]

Robinson can really fly. Almost legged out a pretty simple grounder.

[WildcatFan]

Home run Cozart!

[ProfessorTofty]

Oh no, come on, ump!

[HometownHero]

The Kid looks good hitting 2nd.

[Tom Servo]

that looked like a HR!

[reds44]

That was a HR.

[WildcatFan]

They're gonna review it, but it was definitely gone.

[Wonderful Monds]

Replay time

[HometownHero]

Pittsburgh gets one in the first, McCutchen hitting into a DP killed a bigger inning as they got two hits before the DP and two behind it and stranding runners at 2nd and 3rd.

[reds44]

It hit something behind, didn't it?

[reds44]

Maybe not.

[Kc61]

Hit the top of the yellow line apparently. Double for Cozart.

[Wonderful Monds]

Hmm maybe not a HR.

[ProfessorTofty]

Well, I guess we'll take the double.

[HometownHero]

Looked like Joyce was going to call HR for a second there.

[WildcatFan]

Ooh, still disagree.

[Wonderful Monds]

Bleh

[RedsfaninMT]

With that 2B, Cozart off the interstate.

[Wonderful Monds]

Ooh, still disagree.

When they did the slow frame by frame, it seemed like it was not gone.

[WildcatFan]

DatDude is FEELIN it.

[HometownHero]

Big hit

[Tom Servo]

DatDude1B!

[ProfessorTofty]

:) There's our run.

[JKam]

Phillip is nails.

[Kc61]

MVP Phillips knocks in the run.

If not, maybe RBI king.

[OGB]

Howard was standing in the middle of the basepath and Cozart almost ran him over. He should've been awarded 3rd base. Poor umpiring job there.

[Wonderful Monds]

Damn, he made that interesting.

[Tom Servo]

That was an ugly play by Brown in LF.

[Falcon7]

1st pitch was way better but Joey says no, I don't like it. Then dribbles a bad pitch to 2nd. But BP comes through again.

[WildcatFan]

Howard was standing in the middle of the basepath and Cozart almost ran him over. He should've been awarded 3rd base. Poor umpiring job there.

Ryan Howard is never in danger of being run over.

[HometownHero]

Why can't that ball just fall in after the original misplay.

[WildcatFan]

I may have missed this answer somewhere else, but has automatic loading of posts been disabled while server issues get figured out?

[Red Raindog]

I may have missed this answer somewhere else, but has automatic loading of posts been disabled while server issues get figured out?

That is my understanding

[RedsMan3203]

So, does the "Live Topic" not work anymore???

WildCat, great minds buddy... great minds. (Or Lazy! lol)

[Falcon7]

Howard was standing in the middle of the basepath and Cozart almost ran him over. He should've been awarded 3rd base. Poor umpiring job there.

Yea, but it was a ground rule 2b so he would of had to return.

[Kc61]

Leake pitching well, but several routine fly balls. Would rather see Mike throwing grounders.

[paintmered]

Woah, Leake dialed it up to 92.

[Red Raindog]

Yea, but it was a ground rule 2b so he would of had to return.

why was it ground rule?

[WildcatFan]

Leake shoulda kept that hair he cut off and used it to fill in that beard.

[WildcatFan]

That would have been a better catch of the bat if the dude wasn't drinking a Lime-arita.

[paintmered]

I award points for catching the bat and immediately deduct them for the Bud Light Lime.

[Virginia Beach Reds]

Local Cincinnati friends. Game is not on FSO for me tonight. Anyone having issues?

[Tom Servo]

That kid doesn't know how to react when you get a bat. THIS is how you are supposed to react.

http://www.mlbgifs.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/PsychoJaysFan.gif

[WildcatFan]

Local Cincinnati friends. Game is not on FSO for me tonight. Anyone having issues?

I've got it in Lexington. Someone mentioned it may be on ESPN2. It's blacked out here.

[Kc61]

Really like Aaron Boone doing color on ESPN 2. Would love to see him as a Reds broadcaster some day. Very easy to listen to, excellent knowledge, doesn't overdo.

[Red Raindog]

Local Cincinnati friends. Game is not on FSO for me tonight. Anyone having issues?

I'm watching on Dish FSO

[Falcon7]

why was it ground rule?

Oh your right it did bounce back in play, sorry...

[Kc61]

Leake getting some Ks, nice.

[Red Raindog]

Oh your right it did bounce back in play, sorry...

I got something right today!

:beerme:

[Hillsdale87]

Leake getting some Ks, nice.

Last pitch was 93. Hopefully he can keep that kind of velocity

[dubc47834]

What's wrong with Leake tonite...he's looking good...lol

[malcontent]

Woah, Leake dialed it up to 92.
Gun must be off. Now he's at 93.

[Virginia Beach Reds]

I'm watching on Dish FSO

Thanks espn2 is showing espn news and FSO is black screen. Got to get this figured out or I have nothing to do.

[WildcatFan]

Toddfather!

[Red Raindog]

HR streak -- gone!

[RedsMan3203]

Todd, thanks bud!

[Kc61]

Todd, learning how to hit homers at GABP. Nice.

[Tom Servo]

DatDudeNJ!
:jump:

[_Sir_Charles_]

:jump: GONE! Toddfather!

[HometownHero]

Great start, Mike looking good and now has 2 early runs to work with.

[paintmered]

Edit: I guess the automatic Youtube code doesn't work any more.

[HokieRed]

Great that Frazier got this HR, but I want to ask about Leake. Gameday had him throwing sinkers at 91-93 last inning. Is he really getting significant sink at that velocity? If he is, we're not going to have to worry about him much this year.

[WVRedsFan]

Heisey. What a mess.

[Tom Servo]

Nice double for Mes!

[Red Raindog]

Mes makes a statement

[paintmered]

Two-bagger for Mes.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Great that Frazier got this HR, but I want to ask about Leake. Gameday had him throwing sinkers at 91-93 last inning. Is he really getting significant sink at that velocity? If he is, we're not going to have to worry about him much this year.

It's not a sinker. It's one of his fastballs. All of his pitches have excellent movement.

NICE DEVIN! Shot to the wall!

[Gizmo]

Mes just guaranteed himself a week off.

[Kc61]

Double Mes.

Where Mes gives you hope that he will succeed is his eye at the plate.

He rarely swings at bad pitches. He doesn't get fooled on pitch location. That at bat was a perfect example.

[New York Red]

Mes just guaranteed himself a week off.
Haha ... yep.

[Red Raindog]

It is fun watching Leake hit

[Chip R]

Mes just guaranteed himself a week off.

Man's got to stay fresh. ;)

[HokieRed]

It's not a sinker. It's one of his fastballs. All of his pitches have excellent movement.

NICE DEVIN! Shot to the wall!

I know he's got movement but he hasn't had that much movement at that velocity. Is the 93 moving down?

[HometownHero]

Lannan is going to give a rope to Mike if he keep throwing that slow pitch.

[_Sir_Charles_]

It is fun watching Leake hit

Pun on purpose? If so...nice.

(his walkup music was to FUN. "some nights")

[Gizmo]

LEAKE!!!

[Kc61]

That was great.

[RedsMan3203]

He just smashed that!

[Tom Servo]

A triple!!!!

[Red Raindog]

Leake in LF on Thursday?

[ProfessorTofty]

Whew! Nice hit. Nearly out of the park, but the triple will work.

[Stray]

That is one heck of an at bat

[Chip R]

He's Leakeing triples.

[dabvu2498]

John Lannan is not long for this game.

[_Sir_Charles_]

WOOHOO!!! Three bagger! Take THAT!

[WildcatFan]

He can flat hit.

[Tom Servo]

Interesting defense by Revere. :lol:

[Red in Chicago]

that ab was a beaut

[Gizmo]

Revere has looked real bad out there today. hehe

[Kc61]

As Boone points out, pitcher kept coming in with pitches, even at 0-2. He must not realize how good a hitter Leake is.

Really poor pitching to Leake there.

[reds44]

I think those catches in Game 1 went to Revere's head because he's been playing like a drunk ever since.

[_Sir_Charles_]

I love how Revere played THAT one. LOL.

[redsfanmia]

Kelly Leake may be the best overall baseball player on the Reds

[Red Raindog]

Pun on purpose? If so...nice.

(his walkup music was to FUN. "some nights")

Can't lie ---no

[New York Red]

If Mike Leake ever becomes a solid starter, he'll be one of my favorite Reds. He does everything else really well -- hit, run, field, etc. Just needs to find his groove on the mound.

[757690]

DH to the NL, my behind :p

[Chip R]

The Reds have hit for the cycle tonight.

[Tom Servo]

Robinson!

[Kc61]

This team that's up now seems good at hitting with men in scoring position. Who are they?

[Stray]

Nice

[Tom Servo]

The Reds have hit for the cycle tonight.
Just need a double now to do it in this inning. :thumbup:

[HometownHero]

Giving Choo a day off and getting production from his replacement is nice to see.

[Falcon7]

What's wrong with Leake tonite...he's looking good...lol

Well maybe if you like WT power, he needs to go yard in that situation...

[_Sir_Charles_]

Keep it rollin' boys! Robinson with the Ribbie!

[Always Red]

Love DRobby!

[757690]

Would love to see DR try to steal here.

[Gizmo]

I wanna see a steal here, more RISP!

[jhiller21]

Just need a double now to do it in this inning. :thumbup:

They've done it in this inning, Mes had a double

[Red Raindog]

Cozart is seeing the ball

[WildcatFan]

That woulda scored Robinson easy.

[Tom Servo]

They've done it in this inning, Mes had a double
Damn my short term memory.



Damn my short term memory.

[paintmered]

Chat is open. :)

[_Sir_Charles_]

They are tatooing the ball off Lannan this inning. Even that foul ball was smoked.

[WildcatFan]

Leake's batting .500 this season.

[Kc61]

Larkin on ESPN 2 talking about Cozart.

He really likes Zack.

Pick off.

[reds44]

I think he was going to be safe until he overslid the bag.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Damn my short term memory.



Damn my short term memory.

Damn it Tom! I just shot coke out of my nose. That burns! LOL.

[Chip R]

Looks like they got him when he slid over the bag.

[WildcatFan]

Cozy not getting fooled today.

[Always Red]

Robby had the pickoff beat until he overslid second base.

[Gizmo]

He outran the pickoff throw, then slid too hard!

[paintmered]

I think he was going to be safe until he overslid the bag.

I think Robinson did it because he assumed he was toast.

[Red Raindog]

need Votto's power stroke to come back

[50YrRedsFan]

Lannan throwing batting practice..we like it:)

[Chip R]

My mind has been blown. Cowboy said that batting average isn't that important and getting on base was a better way of showing how a player (Mes) hits. :eek:

[paintmered]

New rule: Votto starts on first.

[Falcon7]

Damn it Tom! I just shot coke out of my nose. That burns! LOL.

But not going in?

[Kc61]

Joey hit by pitch. He is on base virtually all the time.

[mbgrayson]

Reds have hit for the cycle this inning:
single: Robinson:
double: Mes
triple: Leake
HR: Frazier

[_Sir_Charles_]

Votto taking it upon himself to fill in for Choo. HBP.

[_Sir_Charles_]

But not going in?

Soda falcon....SODA. :O)

[HometownHero]

Cozart looks like a stud when in front of Votto came in with a .321/.361/.500/.861 lifetime line hitting second and has added a pair of hits to that.

[kaldaniels]

Joey hit by pitch. He is on base virtually all the time.

They are paying him to be a slugger. He can't let himself get hit there.

[Kc61]

One thing about tonight, the Reds' entire bullpen should be available. Chapman would be three in a row, but he didn't work much on Monday. I think he could close.

Everyone else should be available, as far as I know.

[50YrRedsFan]

One thing about tonight, the Reds' entire bullpen should be available. Chapman would be three in a row, but he didn't work much on Monday. I think he could close.

Everyone else should be available, as far as I know.

Hopefully we will need few.

[Gizmo]

Time for Bruce's first long ball?

[Kc61]

They are paying him to be a slugger. He can't let himself get hit there.

Assume you are joking.

Phillips walks, bases loaded.

Manuel will probably leave in Lannan for one more hitter, the lefty Bruce.

C'mon, Jay.

[11larkin11]

By the way, for people asking earlier, the game is on locally on the FSO alternate channel.

[kaldaniels]

Assume you are joking.

Phillips walks, bases loaded.

Manuel will probably leave in Lannan for one more hitter, the lefty Bruce.

C'mon, Jay.

I was joking, but was trying to make it look real. :D

[WVRedsFan]

Lannan at 63 pitches

[_Sir_Charles_]

Lannan has GOT to be gassed. He's like approaching 50 pitches this inning I think.

[Tom Servo]

Complete hitter!

[Red Raindog]

Bruce --- nice AB

[WildcatFan]

Joey Votto doesn't get paid to trot home.

[reds44]

This is fun.

[WVRedsFan]

6-0 on Bruce single.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Way to go Jay! 2 RBI single to right.

[50YrRedsFan]

Lannan gone

[jhiller21]

Terrific at-bats in this inning

[ProfessorTofty]

Wow, loving this game, and it's only the bottom of the second.

[RedsMan3203]

LMAO - THe music in the background "So, you had a bad day"

[Kc61]

This game is screwing up RedsZone.

The Reds batting with RISP will look good after this. What will there be to discuss?

And the beat writers -- they will be out of business!

[HokieRed]

Bruce on the verge of a big breakout.

[Gizmo]

Please don't blow this game.

[paintmered]

It's a shame we don't get the Phils again tomorrow against a wasted bullpen.

[WildcatFan]

This game is screwing up RedsZone.

The Reds batting with RISP will look good after this. What will there be to discuss?

And the beat writers -- they will be out of business!

Sorry to be the one to tell you this, but beat writers are almost out of business anyway.

[cincrazy]

For all the early-season consternation regarding Bruce, he looks as good as I've ever seen him. If he can keep this approach and start drilling the ball over the fence regularly, he will be in the MVP discussion (assuming Upton doesn't continue his 100 homer pace lol).

[New York Red]

Joey OBPing at .514 now. If he ever starts to hit ... :laugh:

[50YrRedsFan]

This is amazing....we've scored 6 runs in 2 innings.

[nemesis]

Sorry to be the one to tell you this, but beat writers are almost out of business anyway.

Not soon enough...

[New York Red]

For all the early-season consternation regarding Bruce, he looks as good as I've ever seen him. If he can keep this approach and start drilling the ball over the fence regularly, he will be in the MVP discussion (assuming Upton doesn't continue his 100 homer pace lol).
He's wearing out LH pitching. Lots of good signs for Jay so far.

[Kc61]

That pitcher had Frazier completely messed up. He was obviously having trouble picking up the ball, he swung way late.

[LeDoux]

Who is the official longman on this team? Simon? I haven't noticed a pattern yet.

[WildcatFan]

Not soon enough...

Hey now, I used to be one!

[_Sir_Charles_]

Who is the official longman on this team? Simon? I haven't noticed a pattern yet.

Yes.

[cincrazy]

Gotta be honest, I was looking down at my laptop when they said "Valdes is now in for the Phillies," and I had to do a double take. I thought Wilson was on the mound again, which assuredly would've stopped the damage ASAP.

[jhiller21]

That Skyline commercial is starting to get annoying.

"If I could only eat one thing for the rest of my life, it'd be Skyline"

Enjoy spending the rest of your life on the toilet.

[LeDoux]

Yes.

Merci.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Hey now, I used to be one!

Really? For what paper? Just curious if I'd recognize something you've written.

[50YrRedsFan]

Gotta be honest, I was looking down at my laptop when they said "Valdes is now in for the Phillies," and I had to do a double take. I thought Wilson was on the mound again, which assuredly would've stopped the damage ASAP.

Wilson Valdez didn't make the Marlins team this spring...he's at AAA.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Wilson Valdez didn't make the Marlins team this spring...he's at AAA.

That says LOADS imo.

[WildcatFan]

Really? For what paper? Just curious if I'd recognize something you've written.

You wouldn't. A weekly in Jessamine County, Ky., and I was news, not sports.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Really poor communication there by Robinson & Heisey. That should've been caught...EASILY.

[cincrazy]

Wilson Valdez didn't make the Marlins team this spring...he's at AAA.

Yeah, I remembered once the fog cleared from my brain a bit :).

[_Sir_Charles_]

You wouldn't. A weekly in Jessamine County, Ky., and I was news, not sports.

You're right. Oh well. Just curious.

[50YrRedsFan]

That's Heisey's ball...the kid was a little anxious.

[_Sir_Charles_]

WHAT?!? Ruled a double?!? That's horrible.

[cincrazy]

Outside of one inning against Pittsburgh, Leake has looked great this year. If he and Homer continue to progress, I feel a lot better about Cueto's absence.

[50YrRedsFan]

Misplay by Robinson, no harm done.

[_Sir_Charles_]

*whew* I thought that was gone off the bat. Loud out to Bruce at the wall.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Misplay by Robinson, no harm done.

Just to Leake's WHIP.

[WildcatFan]

You're right. Oh well. Just curious.

I mean, a paper out of D.C. and I had a little story with my partner about the president and a hotel in the '70s.

[50YrRedsFan]

WHAT?!? Ruled a double?!? That's horrible.

Home field scoring

[Kc61]

Outside of one inning against Pittsburgh, Leake has looked great this year. If he and Homer continue to progress, I feel a lot better about Cueto's absence.

Leake allowed two homers that game. IMO, Leake's problems have been 95% attributable to homers allowed.

He's not the kind of pitcher who can allow homers.

[DocRed]

Honestly that official scorer should be flat out fired....is he blind, dumb or biased?

[paintmered]

You know things are going right when Heisey gets in on the action.

[50YrRedsFan]

AJ Burnett with a perfecto against Cards thru 5, 1-0 Bucs

[_Sir_Charles_]

Wow. I keep hearing the Twilight Zone theme music in my head. Heisey rips a double down the line. Bizzaro-Reds. :O)

[Tom Servo]

Mes!

[New York Red]

Mes with another two-bagger! :beerme:

[50YrRedsFan]

How can Dusty keep Mesoraco on the bench after tonight?

[dubc47834]

Tatooed

[_Sir_Charles_]

Second missile by Devin. That ball is just JUMPING off his bat. I love it!

[Kc61]

I wouldn't be upset if the Reds score 20 tonight.

Of course, assuming a win, that is.

[DocRed]

Hey look more gap power from the catcher! Think Duhhhsty will take notice??

[Tom Servo]

This is awesome!

[Gizmo]

Mes must really hate playing ball if he's going to continue to hit like this. DOesn't he pay any attention to catcher the 6 days a week he's not playing?

[50YrRedsFan]

Save some for the upcoming series

[WildcatFan]

Sure am glad Leake is picking up Votto's slack.

[_Sir_Charles_]

IF single by Leake. Mes advances. Nice baserunning.

[dubc47834]

How can Dusty keep Mesoraco on the bench after tonight?

My guess would be the way he calls a game...at least perceived way.

[New York Red]

We now have 11 hits in 16 ABs so far tonight. :eek:

[Mutaman]

Chance to get Broxton a little work?

[DocRed]

How can Dusty keep Mesoraco on the bench after tonight?

Did you watch last year? Duhhhsty kept Stubbs in the lineup for an ENTIRE year....pathetic but true.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Chance to get Broxton a little work?

LeCure needs some now too.

[OldRightHander]

Well, this is fun.

[paintmered]

Every time Thom waxes poetic about Tim Tebow, God kills a kitten.

[LeDoux]

Chance to get Broxton a little work?

I think he and Hoover could use a low-pressure inning.

[dubc47834]

Chance to get Broxton a little work?

Yeah in the 4th inning...lol

[50YrRedsFan]

Are the Phillies really this bad?

[_Sir_Charles_]

Every time Thom waxes poetic about Tim Tebow, God kills a kitten.

Thom's version of John Madden's Farve man crush?

[ProfessorTofty]

Are the Phillies really this bad?
Maybe, but I think it's more that the Reds on fire.

[WildcatFan]

Votto's not gonna get walked!

[RedsMan3203]

They have to pitch to Votto here, don't they?

[50YrRedsFan]

Hey, they can't walk Votto, no where to put him.

[_Sir_Charles_]

So...will they give Votto the IBB here? :O)

[ProfessorTofty]

Walk in the run? No way. Certainly not walked intentionally.

[jhiller21]

Well, they can't pitch around Votto now, let's see.

[50YrRedsFan]

Is that the "WOO" I hear?

[dubc47834]

They have to pitch to Votto here, don't they?

Ya never know...1 run is better than 4...lol

[Falcon7]

You wouldn't. A weekly in Jessamine County, Ky., and I was news, not sports.

Kinda like a Les Nessman but on the print side? Farm news and Hog reports... ;)

[_Sir_Charles_]

WHOA! Chin music

[redsfanmia]

Dumb thought.....if Bill Belichick was the manager of the Reds would he find a way to get Mike Leake more at bats?

[jhiller21]

Two very ugly swings by Joey. He's not looking good right now.

[Falcon7]

Not real pretty...

[_Sir_Charles_]

He really made Votto look bad there. Just messed up.

[RollyInRaleigh]

Votto with some ugly swings.

[Falcon7]

Dumb thought.....if Bill Belichick was the manager of the Reds would he find a way to get Mike Leake more at bats?

Can he play first?

[Tom Servo]

that bum Votto finally earning his paycheck

[_Sir_Charles_]

I'm used to seeing all of the Reds struggle to hit EXCEPT for Votto. Seriously...it's Bizzaro-world night at the ballpark. I blame the leftover dog poop from yesterday.

[BluegrassRedleg]

This is the best stretch I've ever seen of Brandon Phillips at the plate. Complete command.

[ProfessorTofty]

Well, that's the inning, but three more? Excellent!

[_Sir_Charles_]

Phillips! Wowsers!

[cincrazy]

Votto isn't quite Votto yet, Bruce is homerless, Cueto is on the shelf, the pen has struggled... and yet after tonight we'll be over .500. I'll take that.

[BluegrassRedleg]

Dumb thought.....if Bill Belichick was the manager of the Reds would he find a way to get Mike Leake more at bats?

They'd certainly steal enough signs to infuriate the entire league.

[Brisco]

Ya never hear complaints about the Reds swinging at the first pitch when they are winning... Why is that?

[Kc61]

If Votto is in a slump, it's the best slump in the history of baseball.

Guy isn't hitting up to normal standards but has a .500+ OBP.

Hope he starts to hit soon.

[Wonderful Monds]

At this point the Reds might need to worry about beating potential rain rather than the Phillies.

What inning do we have to get to before its official?

[_Sir_Charles_]

If Votto is in a slump, it's the best slump in the history of baseball.

Guy isn't hitting up to normal standards but has a .500+ OBP.

Hope he starts to hit soon.

The rest of the league doesn't.

[Wonderful Monds]

Did you watch last year? Duhhhsty kept Stubbs in the lineup for an ENTIRE year....pathetic but true.

"Duhhhsty" should be a bannable word. Can we please keep that kind of nonsense off of here? RZ is a better board than that.

[WildcatFan]

At this point the Reds might need to worry about beating potential rain rather than the Phillies.

What inning do we have to get to before its official?

Middle of the fifth.

Granted they still have the lead.
