[ProfessorTofty]

Let's dodge some Dodgers and snag another series win!

[texasdave]

Dodgers is short for 'trolley dodgers'. LOL.

[westofyou]

Dodgers is short for 'trolley dodgers'. LOL.

No trolleys in LA since the 40s too

[mth123]

I guess it makes me old, but I look at a Dodger line-up and see Crawford and I automatically think of Willie Crawford who was a mainstay for LA during the BRM era and usually did well against the Reds. I barely remembered that Carl Crawford played for LA since the Reds play them so infrequently. Times have changed.

[Kc61]

I guess Cozart still has a sore hip.

[kaldaniels]

Latos is due for a monster 8-9 inning outing. Hope it's tonight.

[Ironman92]

6614

[klw]

I still cringe thinking about Ron Cey.

[Ironman92]

If George Grande finds a way to mention that Tim Flannery did the wedding service for Chris Welsh and his wife....and it's only good in California.....I will stab baby koala bears.

[Red Raindog]

Cards win - need to keep pace!

[Reds Fanatic]

Choo grounds out to Greinke

[Reds Fanatic]

Paul crushes a pitch to right center. 1-0 Reds!

[ProfessorTofty]

Gonnnne!!!! XPaul with a solo blast, and we're quickly up 1-0!

[kbrake]

Great start.

[Australian Red]

Good Start

[Reds Fanatic]

Votto lines a single to left

[ProfessorTofty]

Votto on with a single. One on, one out.

[reds1869]

Got in a few minutes late and saw a 1-0 score. Great start!

[Ironman92]

It's odd to me that below average speed Andre Ethier plays CF and 2 of the fastest guys in baseball play RF and LF

[Red in Chicago]

your most hated dodger infielder from the '70's:

a) garvey
b) lopes

e) all of the above

my answer is e :D

[Reds Fanatic]

Phillips grounds into a 6-4-3 DP. 1-0 Reds mid 1st.

[ProfessorTofty]

Inning ending double play, but not before the longball puts the Reds on top early.

[ProfessorTofty]

Their pitcher has a .406 average? How many at-bats does he have?

[Reds Fanatic]

Their pitcher has a .406 average? How many at-bats does he have?

32. He is actually 7 for 10 this month

[Red in Chicago]

i purposely excluded the outfield ;)

[Ironman92]

Dodgers crowd is kinda rowdy already

[Reds Fanatic]

Nice catch by Votto on a hard hit liner by Puig

[ProfessorTofty]

32. He is actually 7 for 10 this month
Wow. That's quite a number for a pitcher. Thanks for the info.

[Tadasimha]

Siddown rook

[Ironman92]

Votto robs Puig of a double

Like a cat

[EMAW]

If George Grande finds a way to mention that Tim Flannery did the wedding service for Chris Welsh and his wife....and it's only good in California.....I will stab baby koala bears.

Will take George of Thommy Boy any day

[Ironman92]

Reds pitchers are awesome...in case you were wondering

[Tadasimha]

Chocco Pie?

[Ironman92]

Will take George of Thommy Boy any day

Meh...George just cheesily always finds a way to speak of the past.

George Grande paired with Sean Casey is ....well it shouldn't be allowed.

[Kc61]

Good at bat by Gonzalez here. Dodgers have some powerful hitters.

Now he singles.

[Reds Fanatic]

Gonzalez singles

[Reds Fanatic]

6-4 FC. 1-0 Reds after 1.

[ProfessorTofty]

Dodgers get one hit, but no score for them after 1.

[Ironman92]

I thought AGon hit that about 450

[powersackers]

No trolleys in LA since the 40s too

Now Giants fans have to Dodge Dodger fans :(

Too soon?

[hebroncougar]

What was up with all the hand gestures by Gonzalez after the hit. Watching Reds TV feed, listening to Scully is good stuff!

Bruce flies out to left.

[ProfessorTofty]

Frazier easily in with a double.

[Reds Fanatic]

Frazier doubles to left. I think that his 6th double this road trip

[Ironman92]

Todd knows doubles.

[Ironman92]

Frazier easily in with a double.

No Frenchy....but if he hits one to right

[Tom Servo]

Frazier es en fuego

[Reds Fanatic]

Mesoraco grounds out to short. Frazier to 3rd.

[Ironman92]

Frazier es en fuego

He's really hitting well too

[Reds Fanatic]

Izturis bloop single to left. 2-0 Reds.

[Matt700wlw]

Izturis :)

[Red in Chicago]

ribby for cesar

[Tom Servo]

all hail cesar

[Reds Fanatic]

Latos strikes out swinging. 2-0 Reds mid 2nd.

[reds1869]

Maybe the Reds should play every game on the west coast. This offense is rolling.

[Ironman92]

We
Got
This.

[Reds Fanatic]

Looks like Alfonso Soriano is about to be traded to the Yankees. He was pulled from the Cubs lineup tonight as the deal is almost complete

[Tadasimha]

Reds starting to build a nice picket fence tonight

[ProfessorTofty]

Maybe the Reds should play every game on the west coast. This offense is rolling.
Something in the west coast air certainly seems to have put a spark in their bats.

[Red in Chicago]

magic still isn't missing many meals

[Reds Fanatic]

Ethier grounds out to 2nd.

[Roy Tucker]

Kareem!

[redsfaninbsg]

2-0 lead, Reds really need a great outing from Latos tonight. He's due and winning this first game would take a lot of pressure off this club with Kershaw toeing it up tomorrow.

[Reds Fanatic]

Ellis grounds out to short

[Roy Tucker]

I didn't know Izturis had a GG.

[ProfessorTofty]

Dodgers go down 1-2-3 in the second.

[Reds Fanatic]

Schumaker grounds out to short. 2-0 Reds after 2.

[Ironman92]

magic still isn't missing many meals

Considering we all thought he was going to die 20 years ago....he looks amazing.

[Ironman92]

That would be my luck....pay a high price for prime seats and have Kareem Abdul Jabbar sit in front of me.

[Tadasimha]

What was up with all the hand gestures by Gonzalez after the hit. Watching Reds TV feed, listening to Scully is good stuff!

He's about to start repeating himself ad nauseum. That's his schtick - he gets a couple of facts about a player and every couple of innings will mention it again.

[Reds Fanatic]

Choo grounds out to 1st.

[Ironman92]

Keep scoring....the Dodgers trailed by 1 with 2 outs in the 9th and won by 5 yesterday and on Sat they trailed 8-3 in the 6th and won.

[Reds Fanatic]

Paul strikes out swinging

[WildcatFan]

Maybe the Reds should play every game on the west coast. This offense is rolling.

You would've been shot for saying that in 2008.

[Ironman92]

He's about to start repeating himself ad nauseum. That's his schtick - he gets a couple of facts about a player and every couple of innings will mention it again.

George Grande does that....and most of his stories suck.

[Tom Servo]

He's about to start repeating himself ad nauseum. That's his schtick - he gets a couple of facts about a player and every couple of innings will mention it again.
It's true, but as long as he calls the action in between, he could be reading the phone book for all I care.

[Reds Fanatic]

Votto check swing ground out to Greinke. 2-0 Reds mid 3rd.

[Magdal]

To say that a win tonite vs. the pistol hot Dodgers would be big would be a gross understatement. I'm getting the LA feed and they speak very highly of this Reds team.

The Cards have the toughest road trip possible ahead with 11 games vs. Braves, Reds and Pirates. (5 in 4 days w/Bucs) An excellent opportunity for the Reds to make up significant ground on somebody.

[Tom Servo]

So Votto's defense...

[Ironman92]

Jerry Hairston....only played a handful of games in CF for the Reds but he made the best play I've even seen by a Reds CF going 22 strides (Willie Mays WS catch was 21) and then did a full extension dive on the warning track going into the bottom of the wall....I think it was his 2nd game playing there.

[Tadasimha]

So Votto's defense...

Nicely on display tonight

[WildcatFan]

"He's got an idea" is a Grandeism I've never understood.

[Red Raindog]

So Votto's defense...

is very strange this year?

[Ironman92]

So Votto's defense...

Great skill pick...not taught by Tom Emanski

[Reds Fanatic]

Greinke strikes out swinging.

[Roy Tucker]

I talked to Grande for a couple innings up at the old Metrodome in Minneapolis in '99. Couldn't have been a nicer guy and took a lot of time for me. His best days may be behind him, but I just can't say anything bad about the guy. A true gentleman and you'll never find a more friendly guy.

[ProfessorTofty]

Long flyout there, and that's the end of the Dodgers's 3rd.

[Kc61]

Joey's like a politician electioneering for a Gold Glove. He knows he's behind in the polls this year but he's campaigning in states he can win.

He hasn't faced LA in a long while, so he's trying to get some votes there.

[Reds Fanatic]

Crawford flies out to center. 2-0 Reds after 3.

[Ironman92]

Yeah....everyone agrees he's a very nice guy.

Too much cheese for me but 15 games a year doesn't bother me,

[Ironman92]

Joey's like a politician electioneering for a Gold Glove. He knows he's behind in the polls this year but he's campaigning in states he can win.

He hasn't faced LA in a long while, so he's trying to get some votes there.

I think they are pretty happy with A Gon's defense.

[WildcatFan]

Who likes baseball less, Zach Greinke or Adam Dunn?

[Reds Fanatic]

Phillips flies out to left

[Reds Fanatic]

Bruce flies out to right. Running catch by Puig

[New York Red]

Just got home (thanks to me playing taxi for my 14-year old and her boyfriend ... grr). Good to see the Reds up, but the runs were driven in by Paul and Izturis? Really, haha. Best stat I see so far is Latos at just 39 pitches after three innings. That's huge for him. Hope I don't jinx it. :)

[WildcatFan]

ESPN has made everybody tired of Puig, but he does really look like a ballplayer.

[Ironman92]

Man...thought Puig was to have to lay out for that and sped through it easily.

He's got that rare gear.

[Reds Fanatic]

Frazier grounds out to 3rd. 2-0 Reds mid 4th

[Kc61]

Watching the Dodger feed. Scully still has it.

So well prepared, learns all about the opposition's players.

A pleasure.

[WildcatFan]

Man...thought Puig was to have to lay out for that and sped through it easily.

He's got that rare gear.

He looks just like Mike Trout with his size/athleticism combo.

[Ironman92]

Who likes baseball less, Zach Greinke or Adam Dunn?

Yeah....Dunn has played over 1800 games, rarely missing a start. He clearly hates it.

[reds1869]

Man...thought Puig was to have to lay out for that and sped through it easily.

He's got that rare gear.

He is a special player. A lot of people dislike the hype, but he is worthy of it.

[WildcatFan]

Yeah....Dunn has played over 1800 games, rarely missing a start. He clearly hates it.

That was really a joke.

[Roy Tucker]

Looks a bit like a young Sammy Sosa pre-PEDs.

[Ironman92]

He looks just like Mike Trout with his size/athleticism combo.

I think his speed is the same as Trout....I think he's a bit bigger and a bit stronger....his arm is HOF elite---right there with Frenchy and Ankiel

[Ironman92]

That was really a joke.

Sorry

I was really defensive. Lol

[MillerTime58]

Who likes baseball less, Zach Greinke or Adam Dunn? Wouldn't be surprised if Zack Greinke doesn't like his own mother.

[Tom Servo]

ugh

[ProfessorTofty]

Ouch! Shoddy defensive move costs us two bases there.

[Red in Chicago]

Looks a bit like a young Sammy Sosa pre-PEDs.

he's about as annoying as sammy was

[Reds Fanatic]

Puig singles to center. Choo tires to throw behind him to 1st and throws it into the stands sending Puig to 3rd.

[WildcatFan]

I think his speed is the same as Trout....I think he's a bit bigger and a bit stronger....his arm is HOF elite---right there with Frenchy and Ankiel

Trout's a big dude, but you're right about the arm. And as we talk about it, Puig weasels his way to third.

[Ironman92]

Puig seems to force a lot of those....he had that happen yesterday in the 9th

[kbrake]

Could have done without that...

[redsfaninbsg]

Unreal, throw the damn ball to second base.

[New York Red]

ESPN has made everybody tired of Puig, but he does really look like a ballplayer.
I avoid ESPN, unless it's a live game I really want to see, so I can't relate to the Puig overkill. I'm looking forward to watching him the next four games. Probably more than I've looked forward to watching any player in years.

[Ironman92]

Wouldn't be surprised if Zack Greinke doesn't like his own mother.

Greinke is a piece of work for sure.

[Reds Fanatic]

Gonzalez grounds out. 2-1 Reds.

[ProfessorTofty]

Puig scores on a groundout and that error costs us.

[New York Red]

Wow, what the heck was Choo thinking?

[Roy Tucker]

Perfect DP ball. Jeez.

[Ironman92]

Trout's a big dude, but you're right about the arm. And as we talk about it, Puig weasels his way to third.

Only about 5'10? I know he packed on a lot of weight (around 230 lb now)

[Reds Fanatic]

Infield hit for Ramirez

[WildcatFan]

How did BP even get to that ball?

[Ironman92]

Puig scores on a groundout and that error costs us.

The young sensations really draw attention and guys yearn to show them up.....but it was bad

[redsfaninbsg]

This Dodgers team is loaded. If this team stays healthy, they are going to be scary good for a long time.

[Reds Fanatic]

Ramirez steals 2nd

[Red in Chicago]

devon with another bad throw...

[WildcatFan]

Only about 5'10? I know he packed on a lot of weight (around 230 lb now)

He's listed at 6'1" 230, but we know how those are.

[Ironman92]

How did BP even get to that ball?

He was very shaded towards second....like when Cozy gets those balls on 2B side...good 1st step

[Reds Fanatic]

Ethier lines out to right

[Ironman92]

He's listed at 6'1" 230, but we know how those are.

6'1 lol

[Roy Tucker]

Davey Lopes. Bah.

[New York Red]

Grrr ... anybody else ever hit 'pause' on DVR to take care of some things for a couple minutes and come back and hit 'play', and then forget you're a couple minutes, or more, behind? I'm glad I've never done it. :D

[Roy Tucker]

Latos is getting that "I'm getting squeezed" look.

[Reds Fanatic]

Ground out to 3rd. 2-1 Reds after 4

[WildcatFan]

Latos is getting that "I'm getting squeezed" look.

He normally doesn't respond well to that.

[New York Red]

Good job by Mat. He didn't let it get to him like he sometimes does. That shouldn't have even been an earned run, though officially it is. Still on a good pace pitch count-wise.

[Reds Fanatic]

Mesoraco singles to center.

[Red Raindog]

Mes has the O part of his game going!

[MillerTime58]

Does Vin Scully not do the whole game? I'm listening to the Dodgers radio feed and it's some other guys now, but a couple innings ago it was Scully.

[toledodan]

Does Vin Scully not do the whole game? I'm listening to the Dodgers radio feed and it's some other guys now, but a couple innings ago it was Scully.

maybe he goes tv to radio?

[Reds Fanatic]

Izturis ground out to 3rd Runner to 2nd.

[Australian Red]

Great to see Mes continue his good form with the bat

[Reds Fanatic]

Does Vin Scully not do the whole game? I'm listening to the Dodgers radio feed and it's some other guys now, but a couple innings ago it was Scully.

I believe they simulcast part of his TV broadcast on radio and then they have other announcers for part of the game. Scully does the whole game on TV I believe.

[Tadasimha]

Latos grinning about something as he comes to the plate

[Reds Fanatic]

Latos strikes out swinging.

[MillerTime58]

I believe they simulcast part of his TV broadcast on radio and then they have other announcers for part of the game. Scully does the whole game on TV I believe.Ah ok. Hopefully he comes back on because I spent a lot of time syncing the radio feed up :P

[Reds Fanatic]

Choo grounds out to 3rd. 2-1 Reds mid 5th.

[Reds Fanatic]

Ah ok. Hopefully he comes back on because I spent a lot of time syncing the radio feed up :P

I looked it up and it is only the first 3 innings is simulcast. Charley Steiner and Rick Monday do the rest of the game on radio

[Roy Tucker]

They should have made the Vin Scully bobblehead a bobble-microphone.

[Reds Fanatic]

Schumaker grounds out to short

[VR]

I looked it up and it is only the first 3 innings is simulcast. Charley Steiner and Rick Monday do the rest of the game on radio

A major part of the legend of Vinny.....doing all the games, by himself. Puts me off that Marty takes so many innings off (partly because Brantley is so horrible on pbp)

But a one man show in the booth is nothing short of amazing....and the dude is always on his game.

[Reds Fanatic]

Hairston singles to left

[Reds Fanatic]

I really wish they would let us see the other team's feed on Extra Innings so I could watch with Scully calling the game.

[Reds Fanatic]

Greinke sacrifices the runner over

[Red in Chicago]

matt forgot how many outs there were:D

[Reds Fanatic]

Nice grab by Latos on the line drive. Then he throws to 2nd for out 4 of the inning. 2-1 Reds after 5.

[Ironman92]

Did Izturis ever touch 2nd?

Great stab by Mat

[Ironman92]

Did Izturis ever touch 2nd?

Great stab by Mat

I guess not lol

[VR]

64 pitches through 5 for Latos, only 2 K's.

I wonder if Pryce encouraged a little more pitching to contact to Mat to keep him in games longer?

[redsfaninbsg]

Dodged a bullet there. That's a huge play in this game.

[Red Raindog]

watched most of the game last night -- got up at 5:00 and played 36 holes of golf -- I can see you people will have to bring this one home without my tired carcass

[ProfessorTofty]

Xavier Paul on with a leadoff walk.

[kbrake]

Sure hope that walk will haunt.

[kbrake]

You can't bail because playing golf wore you out.

[ProfessorTofty]

Understandable! Good night, and here's hoping you'll be waking up to good news.

[Red Raindog]

You can't bail because playing golf wore you out.

failed to note we're on our 2nd bottle of wine & wife is making goo-goo eyes

:D

[Reds Fanatic]

Votto grounds into a 1-6-3 DP.

[ProfessorTofty]

Sure hope that walk will haunt.
I hope that double play just now doesn't haunt us.

[Red Raindog]

Understandable! Good night, and here's hoping you'll be waking up to good news.

not bailing yet -- but soon === hope 2 runs is enough!

[kbrake]

failed to note we're on our 2nd bottle of wine & wife is making goo-goo eyes

:D

Hahaha OK now I'm sold. Enjoy your evening.

[RedTeamGo!]

Ugh, hate these Votto half swings, seems like he does it a lot.

[ProfessorTofty]

Phillips plunked in the leg.

[Roy Tucker]

Nice play by Greinke.

[kbrake]

Ugh, hate these Votto half swings, seems like he does it a lot.

Definitely has looked like Greinke has had his number tonight.

[MillerTime58]

Ugh, hate these Votto half swings, seems like he does it a lot. Seems like he outthinks himself sometimes. Not that his overall approach to hitting isn't working in spades lol

[Gunner44]

Let me preface this by Votto is far and away my favorite player, but does he seem to be hitting more comebackers than ever this year? It just seems like pitches he use to foul off before driving one, have become rollers to the infield

[Reds Fanatic]

Wild pitch moves Phillips to 2nd

[dsmith421]

Can we get Paul Daugherty's opinion on Votto "expanding the strike zone" on ball 3 there? I mean, he's such a sage of the game.

[ProfessorTofty]

Gone! One of those patented Bruce blasts, and it's 4-1!

[MillerTime58]

BRUUUUUCE!

[BluegrassRedleg]

BOOM! Oppage for Bruce! 4-1 Redlegs.

[Reds Fanatic]

Bruce homers to left center! 4-1 Reds! Great AB.

[dsmith421]

O YES.

[Gunner44]

BOOM!

[New York Red]

Hello, Bruce haters.

[kaldaniels]

Bruce brings Greinke to his knees!

[RedTeamGo!]

In honor of an excellent movie that takes place in LA:

Jay, you're all growns up, and when you're all growns up, you're all growns up

[westofyou]

Nice play by Greinke.

That's what made the DP, very nice spread

[BluegrassRedleg]

Takes a strong dude to do what he just did. He had already finished his stride with the front foot. Muscled that thing out.

[kbrake]

Hell yes! That was awesome.

[Roy Tucker]

Big big HR by Bruce. Huge.

[ProfessorTofty]

Nice to see production with two outs, RISP.

[Red Raindog]

you people have this one now --- later!

[Reds Fanatic]

Frazier grounds out to 2nd. 4-1 Reds mid 6th.

[Gunner44]

Takes a strong dude to do what he just did. He had already finished his stride with the front foot. Muscled that thing out.

And that's all besides the fact that it was oppo in cavernous dodger stadium

[toledodan]

some breathing room for matt.

[Roy Tucker]

Hope that is Collinsworth's wife.

[reds44]

We gotta have a talk with Jay about that hair.

[Brutus]

Hello, Bruce haters.

Would you stop with that? There's not a single person on this forum that "hates" Jay Bruce. You have beaten that tired narrative to death.

[Big Klu]

Congratulations to Jay Bruce, who has passed Brandon Phillips for 13th place on the Reds' all-time home run list!

I had the same thought. What should he do?

[reds44]

Would you stop with that? There's not a single person on this forum that "hates" Jay Bruce. You have beaten that tired narrative to death.
I disagree. I can think of one poster in particular....

[Ironman92]

Chris Collinsworth....state 100m champion in high school....in Florida!

[reds44]

I had the same thought. What should he do?
He's 26 and he's balding. As a balding 23 year old, I feel his pain, but whatever that is isn't the solution.

[Reds Fanatic]

Big 4-6-3 DP.

[Roy Tucker]

BP would make a good point guard.

[Ironman92]

I had the same thought. What should he do?

You only look stupid if you suck

[toledodan]

marty being quiet about puig tonight after all his comments about him and the all-star game.

[toledodan]

Big 4-6-3 DP.

that would have been twice if not for the choo error. latos dealing!!!

[reds44]

Latos is pitching like a pissed off SOB tonight.

[kaldaniels]

Chris Collinsworth....state 100m champion in high school....in Florida!

But he's..............never mind.

[Reds Fanatic]

Ramirez strikes out swinging. 3 Ks. 4-1 Reds after 6.

:D
What about that hole-in-one? Not looking so good now, is it?

Wait ... goo-goo eyes? Ummm, ok.

[reds44]

But he's..............never mind.
This reminds me of when Bob Brenley said "Brandon Phillips isn't as fast as he looks."

Okay Bob lol

[Ironman92]

But he's..............never mind.

Yeah....I know...hard to believe

Sans strikeouts, this is an extremely impressive start by Mr. Latos. 74 pitches through 6, shutting down a smokin hot Dodger team in their house.

It's not 2008 anymore.

Mesoraco flies out to left

[New York Red]

Chris Collinsworth....state 100m champion in high school....in Florida!

It's Cris ... youngster. :)

[Reds Fanatic]

Izturis grounds out to 2nd.

[Brutus]

I disagree. I can think of one poster in particular....

OK maybe I'll give you one lol

But that's the extent of it.

[Reds Fanatic]

Latos strikes out looking. 4-1 Reds mid 7th

[Roy Tucker]

Corky looks like Pancho Villa.

[Reds Fanatic]

Ethier flies out to left

[Ironman92]

It's Cris ... youngster. :)

I know....too lazy to fix autocorrect.

A special kind of lazy.

[Ironman92]

Latos is so intense.

[Reds Fanatic]

Ellis grounds out to 3rd.

With Big Mac being the hitting coach, I wouldn't hold it against MLB if they found a way to send a few more drug tests the Dodgers way. :D

[Reds Fanatic]

Schumaker singles to center on a ball Izturis probably would have had but it hit off the bag

[redsfaninbsg]

Is Hanigan going to be back before we are all subjected to another Corky start?

[oregonred]

Bad luck there but would have been a tough play. Mes goes Mes on us by dropping a borderline 2-1 pitch.

[MillerTime58]

Fire up the bullpen.

[Reds Fanatic]

Walk to Hairston. 1st and 2nd. Punto pinch hitting

[VR]

squeezed?

[oregonred]

Tying run on base. Bad walk there. Arrrghhh.

[Australian Red]

Bruce brings Greinke to his knees!

Not the first time Greinkes been on his knees i bet

[Roy Tucker]

Hang in there Mat.

[oregonred]

No not squeezed, just a bad sequence for Latos. Looked like Latos was going to roll into the 8th at 85 pitches, now need to find that third out.

[New York Red]

Would you stop with that? There's not a single person on this forum that "hates" Jay Bruce. You have beaten that tired narrative to death.
I have no clue what you're talking about. What "narrative" are you're referring to?
