[Kcbuckeye22]

Someone gets hit tonight and its not Choo. They'll hit BP. Too they won't hit Votto because Cleveland to close to Canada. They wouldn't want to lose 7 outta the 10 people who watch Indians baseball.

[malcontent]

Not a game thread issue, but I'd like to see Felix Perez (.306 .376 .492 .867) up and Lutzie optioned.

Maybe the Reds could tell him that it wouldn't kill him to take a walk every now and then.

[osuredleg24]

If the Indains pitcher plunks someone I hope he is tossed right away. Chappy didn't even hit Swisher, no retaliation should be needed


If Chap hit him, then it's game on

[New York Red]

Somebody is definitely getting plunked. I don't think there's really any reason for it, but I think it happens regardless.

[PuffyPig]

It's time to take another drive with another BABIP darling down Reality Highway, like we've done with Scott Feldman and Travis Wood.

McAllister is currently sporting a .260 BAPIP. which is one of the reasons why his actually ERA is about 1.75 runs below his 4.50 xFIP.

[powersackers]

Yes. It will happen. No doubt in my mind. Brawl will ensure.

If they're gonna do it I hope they get it outta the way in the 1st inning so we can get to baseball after that.

[NeilHamburger]

I'm hoping for a good old fashioned bench clearing brawl. I wanna see fists thrown, jersey's torn and ACL's blown!

[osuredleg24]

I'm hoping for a good old fashioned bench clearing brawl. I wanna see fists thrown, jersey's torn and ACL's blown!

no thanks

[NebraskaRed]

I'm confused by Cleveland's lineup. The catcher is NOT batting 8th?? What is that, some weird AL rule? Craziness...

Wait, neither is Mesoraco....I don't even know what to think anymore.

[foxfire123]

I'm hoping for a good old fashioned bench clearing brawl. I wanna see fists thrown, jersey's torn and ACL's blown!

Um, no. Yelling, screaming, in each other's faces jawing,ok. but injuries? No.

[malcontent]

no thanks
Agreed. I'll be fine with just a couple F-bombs. Even if Baker won't be.

[malcontent]

I wouldn't be too surprised if Latos gets shelled tonight.

Hopefully the Reds can get to McAllister.

[ProfessorTofty]

I just wanna see some baseball. I'm not interested in any fighting.

[NebraskaRed]

Not a chance of rain, is there? Looks a little dark

[ProfessorTofty]

It's been looking dark in Dayton most of the day, but rain isn't predicted, at least for the next few hours. Just warm and humid.

[osuredleg24]

thank goodness that quit carrying

[klw]

Looks okay

time to see if anyone gets plunked..


doubt it

Discovered something new and I love it. I bought the kids a xbox 360 a few weeks back...I'm able to watch mlb.tv on this baby. Since that's the only way I can watch the Reds (mlb.tv) I've been anchored at my computer desk to watch the Reds on my little 20 inch monitor. Well what do you know, this works perfectly. :O)

[ProfessorTofty]

Choo with a ground-rule bouncer to start things off.

[osuredleg24]

lol, Choo needs some glasses thinking that was a HR

Nice. I use a Roku box to watch mlb.tv thru my tv.

[osuredleg24]

great bunt from Cozart!

[NebraskaRed]

Choo wanted to see if the umpires were paying attention.

[ProfessorTofty]

Yeah, sweet bunt there to make it first and third.

[osuredleg24]

well, if they were planning on plunking Votto or BP, not gonna do it now

[Wonderful Monds]

Nice bunt hit there by Cozart

[_Sir_Charles_]

lol, Choo needs some glasses thinking that was a HR

Maybe he was hoping nobody would notice. :O)

Fantastic bunt! Single.

[BluegrassRedleg]

Head Rake.

[Wonderful Monds]

Reds are rolling!

[ProfessorTofty]

Votto with a blast to center makes it 1-0. Another of those long singles like the one the other day.

[osuredleg24]

I thought that was going all the way to the wall

[_Sir_Charles_]

This xbox is my new good luck charm. :O) This start to the game will work. *grin*

[ProfessorTofty]

Votto to second now on a wild pitch.

[Wonderful Monds]

I don't think there was a tag

[ProfessorTofty]

Batter called out at first after a comebacker to the pitch, argument on the call here.

[Wonderful Monds]

Votto with some Sierraesque base running as well.

[Gainesville Red]

I don't think he got him.

[osuredleg24]

he was safe


is instant replay here yet?

[ProfessorTofty]

Me neither, but the call stands, it seems.

[Wonderful Monds]

Human element strikes again!

[Kcbuckeye22]

Snap we're hitting pitchers again.

[Wonderful Monds]

Is it just me or has the umpiring this year been exceptionally awful?

[osuredleg24]

Is it just me or has the umpiring this year been exceptionally awful?

it has, some of the worst calls i've ever seen throughout the leauge

[NJReds]

Human element strikes again!

That's what makes the game great! :rolleyes:

[osuredleg24]

maybe just me, but that's twice I thought cozart could have went to score

[ProfessorTofty]

Jay Bruce strikes out on a disputed check-swing call.

[BluegrassRedleg]

Jay Bruce gets himself out. Made up his mind he was swinging no matter what on last two pitches.

[OGB]

Votto with some Sierraesque base running as well.
Ruben?
I forgot he was a Red.

[osuredleg24]

the day Bruce quits striking out so much is the day the Reds win the WS

[BluegrassRedleg]

Inning is panning out in classic Mr. No Decision fashion.

[Stray]

Only giving up 1 run would be a huge win. Tough break with the Phillips liner, but Bruce couldn't put the ball in play.

[ProfessorTofty]

Or maybe not a good strike on that first pitch. Eee.

[Blitz Dorsey]

Man I love Xavier Paul.

[BluegrassRedleg]

Hey hey. Mr. Paul. 3-0 Redlegs!

[krm1580]

the day Bruce quits striking out so much is the day the Reds win the WS

Why I keep hearing strike outs are no different than any other type of out.

[osuredleg24]

Paul to the rescue!

[Stray]

Woohoo!! Way to pick em up, Paul.

[ProfessorTofty]

Alright! Single on a 2-0 pitch for 2 runs! And the score is now 3-0.

[New York Red]

X-Man!

[Tom Servo]

X gon give it to ya!!

[NeilHamburger]

Take note Mr. Bruce. It is possible to shorten your swing.

[RedLegsToday]

Xman!

[PuffyPig]

A bleeder that was deserving for the Reds.

Makes up for the bad luck on the Phillips hit.

[NebraskaRed]

What's the stat now on games where Paul starts? It was something crazy like 16-1, but I'm pretty sure that it's changed.

[osuredleg24]

A bleeder that was deserving for the Reds.

Makes up for the bad luck on the Phillips hit.

double bad luck, not only hits pitcher, but was called out when he was really safe

[OGB]

This guy is a lousy pitcher. Poor control, serving up 91mph fastballs with no movement...

[ProfessorTofty]

Did I hear at the top of the broadcast that three runs is the most this pitcher has given up in any game all year?

[Kcbuckeye22]

This guy is a lousy pitcher. Poor control, serving up 91mph fastballs with no movement...

His ERA must reflect the poor AL batters.

[osuredleg24]

Did I hear at the top of the broadcast that three runs is the most this pitcher has given up in any game all year?

yep, hasn't had more than 3 ER all year

[malcontent]

X gon give it to ya!!
We can only hope that he's still the starter (at least against RHP) when Heisey returns.

[ProfessorTofty]

Nice play by Phillips there for the first out.

[Wonderful Monds]

X gon give it to ya!!

You know, I'm really kind of disappointed that X-Paul doesn't hit to that song.

[New York Red]

Bruce on pace for 25 HR and 100 RBI, while having no peers as a defensive RFer, but some of you guys talk about him like he's garbage. I'll never understand that.

[Tom Servo]

You know, I'm really kind of disappointed that X-Paul doesn't hit to that song.
I seriously just looked it up and was really disappointed to find out the same. It would be perfect.

[Norm Chortleton]

Choo wanted to see if the umpires were paying attention.

Choo's double was closer to being a HR than BP's play at first was an out.

[Red Raindog]

you can buy a Roku box and watch lots of stuff -- much of it free.

[Wonderful Monds]

I seriously just looked it up and was really disappointed to find out the same. It would be perfect.

Someone needs to get this idea to him pronto.

ALL REDSZONE FRONT OFFICE INSIDERS: please forward this to Mr. Paul ASAP. Thank you kindly.

[Wonderful Monds]

Did Drew get booed at all yesterday when he hit? This crowd seems pretty ambivalent.

[Wonderful Monds]

Drew Stubbs Drew Stubbs(...es?) to end the inning

[Red Raindog]

There's the Stubbs we've loved to gripe about.

[Gallen5862]

Thanks for the Pbp.

[Norm Chortleton]

Bruce on pace for 25 HR and 100 RBI, while having no peers as a defensive RFer, but some of you guys talk about him like he's garbage. I'll never understand that.

I've accepted that he's probably never going to change. He is what he is. But I think what BluegrassRedleg said is correct: he guesses a lot and makes up his mind he's going to swing before the pitch is delivered. Doesn't mean I have to like it though.

[Kcbuckeye22]

Happy for Drew, he's having a ummm...better season?

[ProfessorTofty]

Hannahan flies to left, one out.

[osuredleg24]

I just realized Choo's walkup song is Gangnam Style, LOL

[BluegrassRedleg]

Bruce on pace for 25 HR and 100 RBI, while having no peers as a defensive RFer, but some of you guys talk about him like he's garbage. I'll never understand that.

He'll finish with really good numbers and, seemingly at equal rates, frustrate and thrill me.

Like Norm said, he is what he is.

[BluegrassRedleg]

Amazing stat there: only 4 losses for Latos in 40 starts as a Red.

[ProfessorTofty]

Choo runs down one at the wall, two out.

[Red Raindog]

Choo is starting look more comfortable out there :)

[Chip R]

And a three-pitch strikeout to end the inning.

Cabrera likes to run his jaws, don't he?

[ProfessorTofty]

Zack Cozart to the wall for a leadoff double.

[New York Red]

Wow, Cozart again. En Fuego.

[BluegrassRedleg]

Nice to see Cozart coming around.

[RedLegsToday]

cozart is suddenly en fuego

[Kcbuckeye22]

Zack playing like a stud. Should we DFA him?

[ProfessorTofty]

Votto takes a walk, now two on.

[Kcbuckeye22]

Gnats getting to Votto.

[RedLegsToday]

there goes Joey, clogging up the bases again. Not what the Reds pay him to do! ;)

[_Sir_Charles_]

there goes Joey, clogging up the bases again. Not what the Reds pay him to do! ;)

The least he can do is RUN to first. Show some hustle for cryin' out loud! Sheesh! :p

[PuffyPig]

Cozart's OPS up to .645. HIs BABIP has risen to .249, still a ways to go.

[ProfessorTofty]

Phillips takes a strikeout. Now two on, one out.

[BluegrassRedleg]

Good test for Bruce here. Don't get yourself out. A walk is OK.

[ProfessorTofty]

No joy there with a flyout. It's up to Paul now.

[New York Red]

Pretty nice piece of pitching there by McAllister.

[PuffyPig]

McAllister rediscovered control of his curve ball, and suddenly became tough to hit.

[osuredleg24]

those types of innings frustrate the crap out of me

[smith288]

Love how thom seems to think 2 on with no outs = HUUUGE innings.

Baseball's hard man.

[Kcbuckeye22]

McAllister rediscovered control of his curve ball, and suddenly became tough to hit.

YESSIR he did. He was in a heap of trouble, unfortunately he recovered. He may have worked around Votto and pulled a quick one on BP.

[Tony Cloninger]

those types of innings frustrate the crap out of me

Phillips had a fat 2-0 pitch that he took.....Bruce had a 2-0 pitch that he swung at...that was a pitcher's pitch. It was like the pitcher was guessing better than the hitter each time. He got away with it on BP.... as I do not think BP thought he was crazy enough to throw him that 3-2 pitch as well.

Frustrating indeed.

[BluegrassRedleg]

Love how thom seems to think 2 on with no outs = HUUUGE innings.

Baseball's hard man.

Nobody can hex like Thom.

[OGB]

If I ever meet Jim Day, I'm going to ask him, "where can I get all these great deals?"

[RedLegsToday]

He may have worked around Votto and pulled a quick one on BP.

But... BP is leading the league in RBI

[ProfessorTofty]

Strikeout there, and the Indians at two down.


And another, there. Three up, three down for the Indians.

[RedLegsToday]

Nasty

[BluegrassRedleg]

Filthy, Latos. Filthy.

[Kcbuckeye22]

But... BP is leading the league in RBI

A case of picking his poison. He didn't look like he was fighting Votto. He was fighting BP for sure.

[ProfessorTofty]

Mesoraco with a single to start the bottom of the fourth.

[OGB]

I expect all of the haters on Redszone to accurately predict when Latos is about to give up a run, since they were all so critical of Dusty last week and his inability to do so.

[ProfessorTofty]

Choo gets a base hit. It's now first and second with two out.

[RedLegsToday]

This Choo guy is pretty good.

[Kcbuckeye22]

Why not bunt with Jack Han? The have Latos hit for contact or bunt as well? I'm not the smartest cookie in the jar, so feel me in....

[OGB]

I'm going out on a limb and saying the trivia answer is Drew Stubbs, as unlikely as that seems.

[OGB]

Zach's hitting has improved of late, but he needs to learn to take a walk.

[nate]

Chat is open!

[OGB]

Paul isn't a butcher out there, but an even slightly above average defender makes that play

[OGB]

Well on the way to free pizza again.

[ProfessorTofty]

And there's Cleveland's first run on a base hit, and it's 3-1.

[osuredleg24]

one of those games it feels like this game should be over already...but nope

[osuredleg24]

man Latos has thrown a lot of pitches in a game where he hasn't given up a lot of hits

[RedLegsToday]

just another lousy single for Votto.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Such a sweet swing. Ma-CHINE!

[_Sir_Charles_]

SB for Votto.

[osuredleg24]

come on BP, rbi chance here

[ProfessorTofty]

And Phillips gets hit. First and second.

[_Sir_Charles_]

3 straight inside to Phillips. And now he's plunked. That was intentional.

Okay, it's done. Now let's play ball.

[BluegrassRedleg]

And here we go...

[osuredleg24]

and there's the plunk

*don't think it was on purpose*

[ProfessorTofty]

Announcers seem to think it might be. In any case, it would seem things aren't going to get ugly for now.

[Norm Chortleton]

Who had BP in bottom of the 5th?

[New York Red]

McAllister throws the first pitch at Brandon's head, then plunks him in the ribs with the third pitch. Yet no reaction from the ump. Interesting.

[osuredleg24]

FFFUUUUUUU, so close

[_Sir_Charles_]

Bourn's in some pain. Heck of a catch btw. That had double written all over it.

And Votto with some really bad baserunning.

[New York Red]

I expect all of the haters on Redszone to accurately predict when Latos is about to give up a run, since they were all so critical of Dusty last week and his inability to do so.
Except that isn't what the debate was about. It was about Dusty not having anyone warming in the bullpen in case the wheels came off.

[Brutus]

Once Votto stole the base, with a base open, it made sense to plunk Phillips if you're going to do it.

[RiverRat13]

Dag. Nice catch.

[BluegrassRedleg]

He ALMOST overran that, amazingly. Almost hurt himself because he had to stop and plant his leg.

[The DARK]

Definitely intentional. You don't throw three straight balls well inside.

[Kcbuckeye22]

BP smiling about it. Class Act.

[osuredleg24]

wtf are you doing Votto?

[ProfessorTofty]

And Votto that time, thrown out, and now we just have one on first.

[Norm Chortleton]

"Boy, oh, boy..." --Joe Nuxhall

[BluegrassRedleg]

This game has bad loss written all over it.

[osuredleg24]

This game has bad loss written all over it.

that's what i've been thinking

[ProfessorTofty]

Great hit for Paul there, outruns the throw, first and second.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Paul got all of that one. It's deep, it's...low, and pretty slow. Single. :O)

[Kcbuckeye22]

that's what i've been thinking

I third that.

[RiverRat13]

What a weird half-inning.

[osuredleg24]

worst 3-0 hit ever lol

[krm1580]

This game has bad loss written all over it.

I was sort of thinking that early on. Its like the Cubs game they lost. They score a couple early and take the rest of the game off.

[kbrake]

Keep getting guys on and eventually someone will make it hurt Cleveland.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Devin Mesoraco's walkup music is Huey Lewis and the News "If this is it"? Hehe. I like it.

[osuredleg24]

Mes's walk up song is seriously Ke$ha?

SMH, we gotta get these guys better songs



ok, maybe i heard it wrong, sounded like Blow

[OGB]

Votto goes back to the dugout and punishes himself by eating a fruit rollup

[Kcbuckeye22]

Votto goes back and has some maple syrup favored bacon to think about his base running blunder.

[ProfessorTofty]

Long fly to Stubbs, and the weird inning is over with no score for us.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Mes's walk up song is seriously Ke$ha?

SMH, we gotta get these guys better songs

Oh, I heard Huey Lewis. Okay, I'm hearing things apparently.

He gave it a ride, caught at the wall. 2 stranded.

[New York Red]

It seems we've had McAllister on the ropes all night. This is why LOB is indeed an important stat.

[The Operator]

So many wasted opportunities.

[RiverRat13]

That's a huge inning for the Reds against a lot outfields.

[Stray]

Hit some balls well and not much to show for it tonight.

[osuredleg24]

Oh, I heard Huey Lewis. Okay, I'm hearing things apparently.

I may have heard it wrong as well LOL


two completely different bands lol

[NebraskaRed]

I twas Huey Lewis while Cleveland's pitching coach went out there to talk to him. Mes's song sounded like some sort of dance/rap song.

[NebraskaRed]

http://ramsey.mlblogs.com/category/at-bat-music/

If anyone is really interested :laugh:

[OGB]

Except that isn't what the debate was about. It was about Dusty not having anyone warming in the bullpen in case the wheels came off.

Not true at all. Several people in that thread got all self righteous about the fact that Latos shouldn't have been brought back out that inning at all.

[osuredleg24]

y u no fast like Bourn, Choo?

[mikdavrut]

I twas Huey Lewis while Cleveland's pitching coach went out there to talk to him. Mes's song sounded like some sort of dance/rap song.

This. They play "If This Is It" quite often when the other team is/might be taking the pitcher out of the game.

[ProfessorTofty]

Santana now with a base hit to make first and second for the Indians.

[osuredleg24]

come on Latos, hang in there

[Larkin Fan]

Mesoraco's walk up song is actually Gary Allan's "Right Where I Need to Be"

[osuredleg24]

good job Mat

[ProfessorTofty]

Force out at second and out of trouble.

[BakoTheTako]

Mesoraco's walk up song is actually Gary Allan's "Right Where I Need to Be"

Greatest rap/dance song of the 90's

[Kc61]

Latos gets out of the sixth, but Mat sometimes has trouble the third time through the lineup. He's not like Bailey who gets stronger in the late innings, or at least that's how it seems to me.

Reds have blown a ton of chances tonight, if they're going to win, the bullpen will likely have to help.

If Dusty just sticks with Latos I fear trouble. Lecure might be someone to use in this game.

[NebraskaRed]

Greatest rap/dance song of the 90's

hah, hey I thought that's what I heard

[Wonderful Monds]

At least tonight, you can file running the bases under "things Joey Votto is not paid to do." Ugly game base running wise for the MVP.

I think Hannahan hit that as far as you can while keeping it in GABP.

[osuredleg24]

must get bunt down.

[ProfessorTofty]

Yeah, they just don't seem to be leaving the park tonight.

[osuredleg24]

one sac all year?


gross

[RiverRat13]

Ha. Nicely done.

[OGB]

Does Clv have a lefty ready?

[ProfessorTofty]

And Latos advances the runner to third.

[osuredleg24]

lol, somehow got it done anyways

[ProfessorTofty]

And Mcallister is outta there.

[osuredleg24]

just want the guy form 3rd to score, just gimmie that and i'll be happy

[Tony Cloninger]

Pitcher did not impress me. The Reds ran themselves.....out of innings...and refused to take walks when they were going to be given.

[Wonderful Monds]

In comes former Next Big Thing, Rich Hill.

[Wonderful Monds]

Rich Hill is not paid to throw strikes.

[osuredleg24]

just barely making contact...come on Choo, just get a wee bit more

[ProfessorTofty]

Choo really working this at-bat.

First and third now on the walk.

[osuredleg24]

great AB from Choo after going down 0-2

[Wonderful Monds]

Choo walks on pitch 11, does not get paid for it.

[osuredleg24]

alright cozart, don't do the thing I wanna say but don't want to jinx you

[ProfessorTofty]

Another pitching change.

[RiverRat13]

Choo walks on pitch 11, does not get paid for it.

I'm sure they'd say leadoff hitters get paid to walk. Then again, there was an RBI opportunity so maybe he wouldn't get paid there. Does anyone know these pay-out rules?

[OGB]

There's only one out, shy of a double play, is Francona not concerned about having a lefty face Votto?

[Kc61]

There's only one out, shy of a double play, is Francona not concerned about having a lefty face Votto?

He'll walk Votto if he gets Cozart. Either intentionally or semi-intentionally.

If you're Dusty, do you use Lutz here? Nah, but it's a thought.

C'mon Zack.

[RiverRat13]

There's only one out, shy of a double play, is Francona not concerned about having a lefty face Votto?

Joey hits either well while both Cozart and BP have bad RHP splits. I think it is a good move. Plus you might get the DP here.

[RiverRat13]

Unbelievable.

[Wonderful Monds]

wat

[OGB]

Wow wow wow

[osuredleg24]

just wow


make them pay Votto

[Wonderful Monds]

Why the hell was Cozart bunting for there anyway? The amount this team bunts is infuriating.

[mikdavrut]

Why the hell was Cozart bunting for there anyway? The amount this team bunts is infuriating.

Squeeze play

[kbrake]

I don't have a problem with the squeeze....poorly executed by Cozart.

[Wonderful Monds]

"****!"

- Joey Votto, inside his head

[CySeymour]

What happened?

[osuredleg24]

Why the hell was Cozart bunting for there anyway? The amount this team bunts is infuriating.

yea it was a suicide squeeze

[PuffyPig]

Why the hell was Cozart bunting for there anyway? The amount this team bunts is infuriating.

It's called a suicide squeeze, and no one complains when it works.

[BluegrassRedleg]

Why didn't Votto puff out his chest and stare at the pitcher for 6 seconds there???

[Hillsdale87]

Cozart is hot. I don't know why you would have him bunt...

[Kc61]

Why the hell was Cozart bunting for there anyway? The amount this team bunts is infuriating.

Dusty is enamored with the squeeze since it worked the other day.

But I agree, I wouldn't have gone there with Cozart. Zack has been hitting well lately, let him hit the fly ball.

Reds getting thrown out all over the bases, leaving men on. Now Votto Ks.

Unreal.

[osuredleg24]

FML, im about to break something, so frustrating

[ProfessorTofty]

And Votto strikes out. Still 3-1.

[OGB]

I thought the squeeze was a great call; just poor execution.

[Wonderful Monds]

It's called a suicide squeeze, and no one complains when it works.

Not a fan of the suicide squeeze, like almost ever. Just swing, at the very least in this situation.

[Tom Servo]

Well this is just getting silly now.

[Wonderful Monds]

Dusty is enamored with the squeeze since it worked the other day.

But I agree, I wouldn't have gone there with Cozart. Zack has been hitting well lately, let him hit the fly ball.

Reds getting thrown out all over the bases, leaving men on. Now Votto Ks.

Unreal.
Yeah I know the squeeze worked recently, but they need to stop going to well on that.

I believe Votto is the only guy who's got thrown out on the bases tonight.

I think they've tried it twice this year.

Drew Stubbs flies out to start the Indians's inning.

[BluegrassRedleg]

If this was anyone but Latos on the mound, the Reds would have 8+ runs right now. :p

[osuredleg24]

I don't think Mes ever called for the appeal lol

[ProfessorTofty]

I have to agree about the squeeze. The call wasn't bad, it was just the execution that didn't work.

[osuredleg24]

take him out

[mikdavrut]

If he had executed & gotten the run in, no one would be complaining about it.

[New York Red]

Looks like Dusty learned from his screw-up last week. This time he had someone warmed and ready to go.

[osuredleg24]

uh oh, I think Mat just talked Dusty into keeping him in

you better not screw this up Mat

[ProfessorTofty]

Well, here we are again. Latos is staying in; let's see what happens...

[redsfaninbsg]

Dusty lets Latos talk him into staying in the game.
