[Brutus]

I want to make sure I'm recognized as the first person to say "wish Cozart and Paul were swapped," since inevitably someone will say it.

[Red Raindog]

I want to make sure I'm recognized as the first person to say "wish Cozart and Paul were swapped," since inevitably someone will say it.

I got to be the first one to "like" it!

[Australian Red]

Hopefully more of the same from yesterday

[50YrRedsFan]

I want to make sure I'm recognized as the first person to say "wish Cozart and Paul were swapped," since inevitably someone will say it.

I'm not going to say it.
I wish we had a #4 RH power bat so Paul and Cozart
could stay down low in the lineup.

[Red Raindog]

Bailey looks like a pitcher === I like it

[RedsfaninMT]

Sean Casey says Votto has so many errors because he tries to make plays nobody else can. You all have seen more games than I have, but dropping a foul pop doesn't seem to match this claim...and I saw at least a few more boneheaded errors that were not due to an amazing attempt.

[NebraskaRed]

Chooooooooooooooooooooo

[CySeymour]

Choo!!

[Tom Servo]

Choo :jump:

maybe

Casey throws spaghetti at walls and sees what sticks -- IMO

[redhawkfish]

Probably a double! But certainly a nice start!

[CySeymour]

Where did it land?

[Tom Servo]

damnit, a double

[Red Raindog]

Where did it land?

hit the heel of Pence's glove & bounced back on the field

[NebraskaRed]

Upon further review, I retract my "Chooooooooooooooooooooooo" and replace it with "Choooo...got a double"

[scott91575]

Really, bunting in the first against a guy with a high ERA?

Worked out, but still an awful call.

[Stray]

Nice

[Red Raindog]

Upon further review, I retract my "Chooooooooooooooooooooooo" and replace it with "Choooo...got a double"

half homer -- & I think Cozart was out

[dsmith421]

Cozart dogged that a little bit and I'm not so sure Scutaro didn't get his foot back down.

[Tom Servo]

Giants helping make up for the stupidity of trying to give up an out.

[Red Raindog]

start Cozart?

[50YrRedsFan]

Reds lead the majors in sacrifices with 42 now. Many outs given away. That doesn't include failed attempts.

[Red Raindog]

bullet to LF'er --- run scores!

[dsmith421]

Reds lead the majors in sacrifices with 42 now. Many outs given away.

Good lord. That ball was scalded right at a guy.

[50YrRedsFan]

Good lord. That ball was scalded right at a guy.

Sacrifice bunts only.

[EMAW]

I love how the Reds score first and the chorus of complaints already starts
If Cozart does not advance the runner, the same folks would want him bunting

[NebraskaRed]

I love how the Reds score first and the chorus of complaints already starts

It's the internet. Someone will always complain about something.

[50YrRedsFan]

I love how the Reds score first and the chorus of complaints already starts
If Cozart does not advance the runner, the same folks would want him bunting

I wouldn't bunt this early in a game, unless it was against a dominating shut down pitcher. Lincecum is far from that now.

[Tom Servo]

Thom cannot stop talking about runs batted in, my god.

[Tom Servo]

Homie on a roll so far.

[NebraskaRed]

Well, that was some good pitching that inning.

[50YrRedsFan]

Frazier K's on 3 pitches.

[scott91575]

I love how the Reds score first and the chorus of complaints already starts
If Cozart does not advance the runner, the same folks would want him bunting

You will never see me state someone should bunt in the first inning, no matter the outcome, unless it's the pitcher.

[50YrRedsFan]

And now Paul K's

[Gizmo]

You will never see me state someone should bunt in the first inning, no matter the outcome, unless it's the pitcher.

If we're batting well enough that the pitcher spot comes up with less than 2 down, I say let him swing away, this pitcher has nothing.

[50YrRedsFan]

Hanigan K's; Lincecum strikes out the side.

[Stray]

That manufactured first inning run looks good now. That's a good changeup he has tonight

[Brutus]

Homer is inconsistent at times, but man when he's on, the last two years he's looked especially good.

[50YrRedsFan]

Bailey looking great.......why does he lose it for 1 inning like the last few games?

[scott91575]

This umpire is struggling.

[50YrRedsFan]

This umpire is struggling.

When aren't THEY?

[scott91575]

pitching coach coming out to let him know "they are going to give away an out here, so just relax, throw strikes, and let them give you one."

[scott91575]

Uh oh! Not bunting! Dusty playing mind games.

[50YrRedsFan]

Cozart swings at 2 out of the zone.

[smith288]

Doesn't the book say to bunt? Who switched dusty's book???

[scott91575]

Cozart swings at 2 out of the zone.

Gotta stay aggressive man! Even if the pitcher can only throw a strike if the umpire gifts one to him, gotta stay aggressive!

[50YrRedsFan]

Cozart with a force out at 2nd, Bailey moves to 3rd. Can't Cozart hit to the right side?

[Stray]

Terrible at bat by votto. Maybe Phillips can get him in

[Billy_Bearcat]

That at bat is not a typical Votto AB, but seems typical of 2013.

[scott91575]

Nice block by the ump.

[DocRed]

It's no coincidence that Votto's RBI's are down this year.

[Kc61]

Homer is inconsistent at times, but man when he's on, the last two years he's looked especially good.

I've spent some time lately looking at the stats for Reds starters. Bailey has the highest ERA of all of them. His won lost record isn't very good.

Yet, I would argue that overall this year he has pitched as well or better than any other Reds starter.

One very interesting stat is "pitch value." Bailey's fastball is valued this year at 14.4. This is by far the highest value of any pitch of any hurler on the Reds. This is only one of many interesting, mostly favorable stats for him.

[50YrRedsFan]

2 on, 2out, can we score?

[Stray]

Wasted opportunity. Those come back to haunt.

[50YrRedsFan]

2 on, no out, and we leave em on again.

[RedTeamGo!]

Apparently the middle of the Reds lineup forgot that Tim Lincecum sucks. How do you have two check swings in one at bat? That was terrible.

[Billy_Bearcat]

2 on, 2out, can we score?

Errrrrrr!

[Kc61]

Cozart with a force out at 2nd, Bailey moves to 3rd. Can't Cozart hit to the right side?

I kinda thought that Choo was safe at second on that play, guess not.

Votto looked like the sun was in his eyes in that at bat. Too bad, big chance there.

[RedTeamGo!]

It's no coincidence that Votto's RBI's are down this year.

Runs Batted In's?

[HokieRed]

Runs Batted In's?

Do they matter?

[Australian Red]

So frustrating!!!

[RedTeamGo!]

strike 3.

[50YrRedsFan]

The Giants are struggling to hit almost as much as the Reds are.

[texasdave]

Someone looks locked in tonight.

[klw]

Someone looks locked in tonight.

Choo?

[texasdave]

Choo?

Two somebodies look locked in tonight. :)

[texasdave]

Lincecum mowing them down as well.

[texasdave]

Sandoval, actually, is in the best shape of his donut-eating life.

[RedTeamGo!]

Nice play by Cozart

[50YrRedsFan]

Homer Bailey is #74 out of 98 pitchers in offensive support at 3.53 runs p/g.
In contrast, Latos is #11 at 5.18.

[Tom Servo]

Homie on a roll.

[texasdave]

I love Hunter Pence as a ballplayer.

[New York Red]

Tidy inning by Homie there.

[50YrRedsFan]

Can we get some runs, please.

[smith288]

I love Hunter Pence as a ballplayer.

Can't stand watching him. Ugly technique in all aspects.

But he's in the MLB. Imagine if he was actually technically sound?

[WebScorpion]

Homie on a roll.6 pitch innings are nice...Homer at 54 pitches after 5 innings can go all the way. :thumbup:

[WebScorpion]

Manigan with the looong single. :clap:

[50YrRedsFan]

Hanigan with a single.

[WebScorpion]

Can we get some more runs, please.
Fixed that for ya! :thumbup:

[Tom Servo]

ugly

[Kc61]

Homer Bailey is #74 out of 98 pitchers in offensive support at 3.53 runs p/g.
In contrast, Latos is #11 at 5.18.

Homer leads Reds starters in FIP and xFiP and is just behind Latos in WAR, a cumulative stat, so Homer could take the WAR lead tonight.

What was that?

[50YrRedsFan]

Well, what can you say? That's the way things have been going.

[WebScorpion]

Homer bunts on top of the plate and Posey tags him out and throws out Hanigan at second. ugh. :(

[50YrRedsFan]

Our hitters are terrible guess hitters.

[Kc61]

Bailey's K/BB ratio is 4.08, tops on the Reds staff by a pretty fair margin.

[Tom Servo]

Well, the good news is that Lincecum probably only has about another inning left in him at nearly 90 pitches.

[50YrRedsFan]

Cozart K's. C'mon Dusty, gives the Reds a chance and get Cozart out of the #2 position.

[mbgrayson]

After five innings, Reds 1, Giants 0.

Bailey at 54 pitches, 37 strikes.
Lincecum at 88 pitches, 55 strikes.

[texasdave]

Can't stand watching him. Ugly technique in all aspects.

But he's in the MLB. Imagine if he was actually technically sound?

You are absolutely correct. He does everything ugly. But somehow he gets the job done.

[50YrRedsFan]

Bailey is pitching a great game, but of course, has no room for a mistake because our offense just can't get going. I knew we would pay for scoring 8 runs yesterday.

[Australian Red]

Really Dissapointed with Fraizer thought he was going to start hitting some form especially after last night.

[Kc61]

Bailey is pitching a great game, but of course, has no room for a mistake because our offense just can't get going. I knew we would pay for scoring 8 runs yesterday.

You can't compare the opposition pitching to last night. Lincecum is dealing too.

[oregonred]

Six page thread. Must be a boring game ;)

Paul maybe should have had that foul ball...

[scott91575]

looks like he didn't even need to slide there.

[Tom Servo]

nice K!

[50YrRedsFan]

Crawford swung at ball 4....good for Homer.

[oregonred]

Onto the bottom of the 6th

[RedTeamGo!]

Homey don't play

[Tom Servo]

Homie on a roll.

[RedTeamGo!]

Crawford swung at ball 4....good for Homer.

Was a good pitch, 95 at the letters. Not much time to react.

[BluegrassRedleg]

Homer is dealing.

[RedTeamGo!]

Homer is so freaking intense

[smith288]

Could use more runs.

[50YrRedsFan]

You can't compare the opposition pitching to last night. Lincecum is dealing too.

I think we are making Lincecum look good. Most other teams this year have handled him with little problem.

[texasdave]

Cherry Dr. Pepper and a moon pie here.

[The Operator]

Watching Homer absolutely mow down the Giants just makes the pain from last year's playoffs come back for some reason.

Am I the only one?

[RedTeamGo!]

I kind of don't want the reds to score any more runs, I feel as if Homer is feeding off of how close this game is.

[Brutus]

The upper end of his game is as good as most any pitcher in the league.

[Brisco]

Evening all. Great game so far.

[Brutus]

Watching Homer absolutely mow down the Giants just makes the pain from last year's playoffs come back for some reason.

Am I the only one?

Had that exact sensation in the 5th inning.

[reds44]

Had no idea Homer had a 9 K/9 and a 2.2 BB/9 this year. That's elite.

[RedTeamGo!]

I think we are making Lincecum look good. Most other teams this year have handled him with little problem.

My God, enjoy this game.

[reds44]

I kind of don't want the reds to score any more runs, I feel as if Homer is feeding off of how close this game is.
Uh, yeah I'll take like 70 runs. Win the game.

[RedTeamGo!]

That was a nasty pitch right there to Votto for strike 2

[50YrRedsFan]

Uh, yeah I'll take like 70 runs. Win the game.

Exactly.....I would feel better with a 6 run lead.

[RedTeamGo!]

Uh, yeah I'll take like 70 runs. Win the game.

haha, I know - Homer is just pitching so well I don't want anything to mess it up

[BluegrassRedleg]

Watching Homer absolutely mow down the Giants just makes the pain from last year's playoffs come back for some reason.

Am I the only one?

Buddy of mine is a SF fan. While I was happy for him, I remind him frequently that I consider that our championship. We just didn't accept it. :(

[Tom Servo]

Am I the only one?
If they had just pushed across a one more run...

[RedTeamGo!]

Exactly.....I would feel better with a 6 run lead.

I don't know if you would feel better with a 100 run lead

[Stray]

Lets just go ahead and get a few here.

[reds44]

Buddy of mine is a SF fan. While I was happy for him, I remind him frequently that I consider that our championship. We just didn't accept it. :(
That team wasn't winning it all without Cueto and with Votto on 1 knee.

[Tom Servo]

I don't know if you would feel better with a 100 run lead
He'd blame the opposition for having such lousy pitchers, and say he knows the Reds will get shut out tomorrow.

[smith288]

Brandon!

[Tom Servo]

DatDudeBP!!!! :jump:

[The Operator]

AWWWWW YEEEEEAAA BP!

DatDude 3-0!

[reds44]

Dat Dude.

[Stray]

A GABP Special I'll take it!

[RedTeamGo!]

That was a smaaaaoked.

[Brisco]

Datdude be back!

[RedsBaron]

Lets just go ahead and get a few here.

We did!

[gilpdawg]

Can't believe that went out.

[RedTeamGo!]

Ok, ok - I am glad that happened.

[50YrRedsFan]

My God, enjoy this game.

This isn't a knock on anyone, but I am very intense when it comes to the Reds. If you want to sit back and relax, go for it. I will sit in my chair, bite my nails, and check my blood pressure. Enjoy.

Phillips just took a little stress off of me. 3-0 Reds.:thumbup:

[Billy_Bearcat]

That was the most line-drivey homerun I've ever seen.

[The Operator]

Did I hear that right?

"AND VOTTO..... Watches his teammate Bruce hit one deep..."

[RedTeamGo!]

You are aware Homer is doing something, right?

[LexRedsFan]

I'm at work. I was during yesterday's game too.

I need to work more.

[smith288]

Did I hear that right?

"AND VOTTO..... Watches his teammate Bruce hit one deep..."

Yea. That's what you call mopping up your own goof

[Australian Red]

About time!

[gilpdawg]

You are aware Homer is doing something, right?

I'm going to go on Twitter and "jinx" it. Just so everybody gets mad when/if he loses it. :D

[Brisco]

You are aware Homer is doing something, right?

Homer's pitching well.

NUFF SAID.

[oregonred]

An actual stolen base!!!

[RedTeamGo!]

I wonder how much money Lincecum spends on pot annually

[50YrRedsFan]

You are aware Homer is doing something, right?

That's another reason I'm stressed. I want the Reds to win every night and blow the opposition away. I know it will never happen, but I can hope, and dream, and stress.

[WebScorpion]

An actual stolen base!!!That was a bold theft...Frazier went as soon as the lefty moved his foot. He was safe by about 6 feet. :D

[Roy Tucker]

Willie Nelson potency.

[oregonred]

That's another reason I'm stressed. I want the Reds to win every night and blow the opposition away. I know it will never happen, but I can hope, and dream, and stress.

I think that happened in 1869. You only missed it by 144 years.

[Redhook]

It's not 'X' avier Paul Mr. Thom. One of my pet peeves. At least Brantley pronounces Xavier correctly. Thom sounds like a baffoon.

[smith288]

Homers gonna make em pay

[Australian Red]

Anyone else keeping an eye on the Pirates game, hoping Philly can finish them off.

[50YrRedsFan]

Good news, Phillies up on Pirates 3-1, 7th inning

[Brutus]

I wonder how much money Lincecum spends on pot annually

I dunno, but he seems like a guy that would be a heck of a lot of fun to hang with at a party lol

[WildcatFan]

I'm ok with Homer not swinging here.

[Brutus]

Good news, Phillies up on Pirates 3-1, 7th inning

I know you're lying. You have to be.

[RedTeamGo!]

I dunno, but he seems like a guy that would be a heck of a lot of fun to hang with at a party lol

Haha yep

[50YrRedsFan]

Homer takes better swings than some of our position players.

[50YrRedsFan]

I know you're lying. You have to be.

Fact

[RedTeamGo!]

I dunno, but he seems like a guy that would be a heck of a lot of fun to hang with at a party lol

I bet Homer is the complete opposite haha

[texasdave]

It's not 'X' avier Paul Mr. Thom. One of my pet peeves. At least Brantley pronounces Xavier correctly. Thom sounds like a baffoon.

Same here. But he sounds like a buffoon. Unless you are saying that he sounds like a cross between a baboon and a buffoon. :)

[wheels]

I can't believe the inactive nature of tonight's game thread.

[texasdave]

Heisey must still be hurting. He has only DH'd since coming back, I believe.

[reds1869]

Same here. But he sounds like a buffoon. Unless you are saying that he sounds like a cross between a baboon and a buffoon. :)

Mr. Paul himself said his name is pronounced "X-avier," so I'm going to trust him.

[WildcatFan]

70 pitches. All of them good.

[RedTeamGo!]

come on homerrrr

[50YrRedsFan]

It's really gonna be hard to choose who to keep when contract time comes around for Bailey, Latos, etc.

[oregonred]

Ball 4

[RedTeamGo!]

damn

[The Operator]

Damn!

[Redhook]

Same here. But he sounds like a buffoon. Unless you are saying that he sounds like a cross between a baboon and a buffoon. :)

Lol. I wasn't but maybe I should've. Hard to type on the phone sometimes.

[smith288]

I don't hate walking him. No need to tee one up for him

[RedTeamGo!]

It's really gonna be hard to choose who to keep when contract time comes around for Bailey, Latos, etc.

come on man, really? live in the moment here, trust me.

[Billy_Bearcat]

Bah

[50YrRedsFan]

Bailey walks Torres to lead off the 7th.

[texasdave]

Mr. Paul himself said his name is pronounced "X-avier," so I'm going to trust him.

Duly noted.

[oregonred]

Long half-inning messing with Homer's command. Hannigan out to calm him down. Good move. 1 down on a chopper to third.

[oregonred]

MLB showed a graphic that Homer is one of only four pitchers that averaged 90MPH+ on his fastball last season to increase his fastball by 1MPH or more this season.

[RedTeamGo!]

Long half-inning messing with Homer's command. Hannigan out to calm him down. Good move. 1 down on a chopper to third.

That's what I meant by being ok with the game at 1-0! :laugh:

[Tom Servo]

Joey is a genius!

[RedTeamGo!]

So, is that a fielders choice or a hit?

[oregonred]

FC to nail the runner at third. Two down. Votto's head saves...

[The Operator]

WOW VOTTO

[wheels]

Joey did a heck of job there....not bad for someone who reportedly has no head.

[50YrRedsFan]

Bailey with a brain fart and doesn't cover 1st, but Votto bails him out and nails Torres at third.

[smith288]

Meeeeee likey

[RedTeamGo!]

There we go Joey....This game might give the Reds their mojo back.

[gilpdawg]

Where was Joey's head there? :D

[50YrRedsFan]

I think Bailey is throwing harder now than when the game started.

[WildcatFan]

I'm impressed Sandoval can stand upright.

[New York Red]

So, is that a fielders choice or a hit?
FC

[smith288]

I'm impressed Sandoval can stand upright.

Expect a "best shape of my life" from him next spring training when he hasn't lost a lb

[Larkin Fan]

Joey sure looked disinterested there.

[WrongVerb]

Where was Joey's head there? :D

I came here to wonder the same thing.

Sarcastically, of course.

[RedTeamGo!]

Sandoval will spoil some pitches

[wheels]

Phillies still lead the Pirates 3-1, headed to the 8th.

[50YrRedsFan]

Stressful inning for Homer..

[Roy Tucker]

Pablo does make contact

[BluegrassRedleg]

LOL. Hanigan looked like he was behind Panda's leg there.

[RedTeamGo!]

Ump has been consisitenly calling that a ball all night

[WildcatFan]

Where was that?

[The Operator]

This ump is giving Homer no love at all.

[RedTeamGo!]

Wooooooooo

[Tom Servo]

Homie on a roll!

[jhiller21]

Sit down, fatso

[WildcatFan]

97. Ninety seven.

[smith288]

Pablo is guessing on those outside pitches. Total luck the umpire didn't feel the moment and pull the trigger on them. Oh well. Homer got him in the end.

[RedTeamGo!]

That was a big boy pitch. COME GET SOME

[gilpdawg]

They are running his pitch count up unfortunately.

[The Operator]

Hoooommmeeer!!!

Onward we go...

[Roy Tucker]

The high cheese

[Billy_Bearcat]

Throw em the heater, Ricky!

[Raisor]

Are we talkinging about it?

[New York Red]

Stressful inning for Homer..
And me. :scared:

[smith288]

They are running his pitch count up unfortunately.

Time to yank him. 100 is too many. :p

[Brutus]

I know all is not lost, but I lost my sense of nerve once the walk happened lol

Now it's just... if things shall be, they will be.

[50YrRedsFan]

Pablo is guessing on those outside pitches. Total luck the umpire didn't feel the moment and pull the trigger on them. Oh well. Homer got him in the end.

and Pablo has a BIG end.:laugh:

[WildcatFan]

Are we talkinging about it?

WildcatFan doesn't know what you're talking about.

[New York Red]

Are we talkinging about it?
:nono:

[oregonred]

I thought RZ crashed a few minutes ago.

[Captain Hook]

This has probably come up for obvious reasons but who was the last mlb pitcher to toss a no hitter?

[jhiller21]

Thom can't shut up about the you-know-what. Doesn't he know the rules?

[Roy Tucker]

thom sure is.

[RedTeamGo!]

This has probably come up for obvios reasons but who was the last mlb pitcher to toss a no hitter?

Notta gonna say his name.

[50YrRedsFan]

This has probably come up for obvios reasons but who was the last mlb pitcher to toss a no hitter?

They just said it on the MLB network broadcast.

[The Operator]

This has probably come up for obvios reasons but who was the last mlb pitcher to toss a no hitter?David Dewitt Bailey

[gilpdawg]

Thom can't shut up about the you-know-what. Doesn't he know the rules?

Sigh.

[WildcatFan]

David Dewitt Bailey

Spoken like a true Homer.

[wheels]

Phils get nada in their half, Buccos about to bat. Still 3-1.

[Kc61]

thom sure is.

Thom's job is to get people to watch and tell their friends to watch the game.

[Brutus]

Spoken like a true Homer.

I admit I was looking for a Homer pun earlier, but couldn't find a way to work it into the conversation. Well done.

[50YrRedsFan]

I hope Homer has the gas to go 2 more .

[WildcatFan]

I admit I was looking for a Homer pun earlier, but couldn't find a way to work it into the conversation. Well done.

It wasn't great, but I didn't see an alternative.

[RedTeamGo!]

I hope Homer has the gas to go 2 more .

Last pitch was the hardest thrown pitch of the game so far

[50YrRedsFan]

Cozart...grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[WildcatFan]

Haha, Votto was mad he didn't let that curveball hit him.

[RedTeamGo!]

Nasty pitch to K Cozart there, filthy.

[oregonred]

Intentional walk to Datdude. Interesting.

[50YrRedsFan]

Intentional walk to Datdude. Interesting.

lefty to lefty match up with Bruce

[The Operator]

Here we go...

[Gunner44]

I could be way off here, but does it seem Joey slices that ball more to left than driving it like he use to?

[Roy Tucker]

I texted my wife about it. She said "what's that?"

[WildcatFan]

I just learned that Nolan Ryan is the only player in baseball history to have struck out seven pairs of fathers and sons. That has nothing to do with anything we're discussing here.

[PumpFak3First]

Bailey wouldn't be the first Red to have 2 in a row in terms of all time, a number less than one hitters

1938 John Vandermeer did it twice within 5 days!

Bumpus Jones tossed one in 1892 for the Nati, that name could rival Homer Bailey

[smith288]

I just learned that Nolan Ryan is the only player in baseball history to have struck out seven pairs of fathers and sons. That has nothing to do with anything we're discussing here.

I now am that much more knowledgable. Thanks

[50YrRedsFan]

Last inning was tough for Homer..hope Dusty is awake and has someone warming up lightly
now.

[RedTeamGo!]

Last inning was tough for Homer..hope Dusty is awake and has someone warming up lightly
now.

You're pulling my leg, right?

[oregonred]

lefty to lefty match up with Bruce

Yeah, I got that...

[WildcatFan]

Last inning was tough for Homer..hope Dusty is awake and has someone warming up lightly
now.

This is silly.

[50YrRedsFan]

You're pulling my leg, right?

Not at all...it's the 8th inning. If Homer has trouble, we still need to win the game.

[oregonred]

2 quick outs for Homie on 94 pitches...
