Ludwick LF
Bruce RF
Frazier 3B
Cozart SS
Hanigan C
Cingrani P


Castro SS
Barney 2B
Rizzo 1B
Murphy 3
Lake LF
McDonell RF
Castillo C

Jackson, E P

[cumberlandreds]

Breakin' up the lefties again. Ludwick hitting 4th and Bruce 5th.

[klw]

Mesoraco's hammy must still be giving him issues. Hopefully he can get it healed up soon.

[MillerTime58]

I would enjoy us getting a win tonight. I know we were facing a good pitcher last night but that game felt like a big letdown after our amazing week.

[NebraskaRed]

John Fay tweeted that Mes is "OK" (interpret that however you want) and that he'll be catching tomorrow.

[RedlegJake]

Castro starts with a single through the hole between 2d and 1st

[RedlegJake]

Just stated Dusty does not want to use Mes in day after night game that is why he isn't in today - he is fine

[Red in Chicago]

hope tony settles down quick

[remdog]

Mesoraco's hammy must still be giving him issues. Hopefully he can get it healed up soon.The fact that Hanigan is hitting .500 against Jackson may have something to do with it.

Rem

[RedlegJake]

now a 4 pitch walk to Barney

[Red in Chicago]

nice dp

[RedlegJake]

Rizzo DP, Castro to 3B

[Tom Servo]

Donnie Murphy - cleanup hitter

[Red in Chicago]

nice come back, tony....

[NebraskaRed]

Bad start, nice finish.

[RedlegJake]

after an 0-2 count hitters are 1-78 against Cingrani....lowest in baseball

[RedlegJake]

1 for 79

[RedlegJake]

that's ridiculous

[Red Raindog]

talking heads said Cingrani has allowed one -- count them one hit to 79 hitters after he got them down 0-2 in the count -- that is obscene

[OnBaseMachine]

after an 0-2 count hitters are 1-78 against Cingrani....lowest in baseball

I just came here to post that. Now it's 1-for-79. Wow! Are you kidding me?

[New York Red]

Hitters are now 1-79 this year against Tony Cingrani when he gets ahead 0-2 in the count. That's an .012 BA, the lowest in MLB since 1988.

That's ridiculous. :laugh:

[RedlegJake]

hitters are disadvantaged and avg are lower on 0-2 count but 1 for 79 is still just ridiculous

[New York Red]

It looks as if we're all impressed with that stat. :beerme:

[powersackers]

I am here. I brought the W with me. We can enjoy it later.

[RedlegJake]

It looks as if we're all impressed with that stat. :beerme:

If it was a video game I'd adjust something to make it more realistic

[RedlegJake]

9 pitch fly ball 1 down

[scott91575]

Votto letting it hang out.

[Tom Servo]

Luddy with a nice double. 2nd and 3rd with 2 out.

[RedlegJake]

for those without media access it is reported that Marshall threw a simulated game today and looked very good...Cueto tomorrow

[RedlegJake]

scoring opportunity!

[RedlegJake]

Tom and scott have faster feeds - let you guys do pbp

[Tom Servo]

Bruce grounds out to first, nothing doing in the first.

[Chip R]

Jay grounds to Rizzo. The drought continues.

[ThatPitchIsDunn]

Hitters are now 1-79 this year against Tony Cingrani when he gets ahead 0-2 in the count. That's an .012 BA, the lowest in MLB since 1988.

That's ridiculous. :laugh:

Anybody know the 1 btw?

[OnBaseMachine]

Not a very good atbat by Bruce. Tried to pull a low and away pitch.

[LeDoux]

It looks like the Cubbies are determined to lay off Cingrani's high fastball.

[Red in Chicago]

is tony's velocity down? i wasn't paying attention in the first.

[RedlegJake]

Lake is a decent young player.

[Tom Servo]

3-2 pitch crushed by Castillo. 2-0 Cubs.

[Red in Chicago]

he got all of that one...

[OnBaseMachine]

2-0 Cubs.

If the Reds are going to win the division, they can't lose this series at home against the Cubs.

[Red Raindog]

Reds can't beat bad teams -- :p

Just wanted to be the first to get it out

;)

[Red Raindog]

is tony's velocity down? i wasn't paying attention in the first.

91 'ish is what I've seen

[Tom Servo]

Trainers out to look at Cingrani. Not good.

[Red in Chicago]

91 'ish is what I've seen

are you watching on chicago's comcast? he's mostly in the upper eighty's from what i've seen...

[MillerTime58]

uh oh

[_Sir_Charles_]

Crap. Trainer out....again.

[Tom Servo]

Cingrani out, Reynolds in.

[RedlegJake]

He looks like he is throwing it right down the pike a lot...without a lot of zip

[Red Raindog]

are you watching on chicago's comcast? he's mostly in the upper eighty's from what i've seen...

no -- fox Ohio

Now he's gone ---

[Red in Chicago]

oy vey...tony c out of game

[Kc61]

Reds can't beat bad teams -- :p

Just wanted to be the first to get it out

;)

Reds are 13-4 against the Cubs this year.

Too bad about Cingrani.

[Tom Servo]

He looks like he is throwing it right down the pike a lot...without a lot of zip
Pretty much. His bread and butter is the high fastball, but everything was inside/middle.

[tomnuetten]

Reds can't beat bad teams -- :p




our record against the cubs isn´t that bad...

lots of baserunners, some bad pitches, 2-0 down because of the long ball and still early in the game

sounds familiar altough I miss some comments about the poor cingrani outings ;)

[Kc61]

our record against the cubs isn´t that bad...

lots of baserunners, some bad pitches, 2-0 down because of the long ball and still early in the game

sounds familiar altough I miss some comments about the poor cingrani outings ;)

No, 13-4 isn't that bad.

[MillerTime58]

So now 2 starting pitchers have had to come out of games very early multiple times this year for a recurring injury - what is going on? Just bad luck?

[George Foster]

boy, it does no good to sweep the Dodgers if we just give the games back to the cubs.

[Tom Servo]

boy, it does no good to sweep the Dodgers if we just give the games back to the cubs.
Lotta this one left to be played.

[Red in Chicago]

i don't have the sound on. what's the word as to why they took him out?

[Tom Servo]

i don't have the sound on. what's the word as to why they took him out?
Announcers seem to think it's the back.

[tomnuetten]

boy, it does no good to sweep the Dodgers if we just give the games back to the cubs.

as far as I know, this game isn´t over yet...

2nd inning?

[RedlegJake]

yeah - he is pointing to his back in the dugout...right side just above the kidney are...same place as before

[_Sir_Charles_]

Come on guys. Red Raindog was JOKING. Sheesh. The constant complaint about us not being able to beat the good teams...it was sarcasm. Apparently over a few heads. *grin*

[Red in Chicago]

Announcers seem to think it's the back.

thanks, that's what i figured...

[Tom Servo]

Reynolds retires the pitcher to end the frame.

[RedlegJake]

We just have to get Tom and vote Red Raindog into our club Charles...then he can get picked on with our whole happy group

[Tom Servo]

It's too bad we don't possess 'The Cardinal Way' otherwise Reynolds could easily add those long lost miles back to his fastball.

[tomnuetten]

Come on guys. Red Raindog was JOKING. Sheesh. The constant complaint about us not being able to beat the good teams...it was sarcasm. Apparently over a few heads. *grin*

I´m foreigner who doesn´t understand english => I´ve got an excuse ;)

[_Sir_Charles_]

Are we basically at the point where we just say "hang 'em up kid" for the season with Cingrani? He "might" be back, but the season is nearing its end, not much time to heal and rehab.

[scott91575]

Well, if there is one plus it's that the Reds have every Thursday off the rest of the year. 4 man rotation with maybe one spot start in there is very possible.

[RedlegJake]

We do possess "the Redleg Way" but we switched all our mojo to the pitching staff which used to lie in our hitters exclusively - so Reynolds should be just fine - but we need a witch doctor to voodoo up our bats

[_Sir_Charles_]

I´m foreigner who doesn´t understand english => I´ve got an excuse ;)

Huh? I'm American and I don't understand foreigners. No clue what you just said. :p

[Tom Servo]

Frazier kills his bat on a single.

[RedlegJake]

Tonight I have the slow feed...Reynolds just finished the inning.

[LeDoux]

We just have to get Tom and vote Red Raindog into our club Charles...then he can get picked on with our whole happy group

I wouldn't do that if I were you. Red Raindog has had so many surgeries to his limbs that he is now more machine than man. Twisted and evil.

[scott91575]

Frazier ended up with a cricket bat.

[RedlegJake]

Huh? I'm American and I don't understand foreigners. No clue what you just said. :p

Offer him some beer Tom - he'll darn sure understand you then - even in hobbitt

[Roy Tucker]

Hmmm.. I guess its never a digital hurt-well state with a player

I just wish they'd let them get a little more well before bringing them back.

[_Sir_Charles_]

I wouldn't do that if I were you. Red Raindog has had so many surgeries to his limbs that he is now more machine than man. Twisted and evil.

Cool! A cyborg!

I vote yes!!! :O) (and yes, I got the movie quote)

[RedlegJake]

The shouldn't his name be Red Rainborg?

[RedlegJake]

Frazier just got a hit - I predicted that!

[Red Raindog]

i don't have the sound on. what's the word as to why they took him out?

back

[_Sir_Charles_]

Nice. :O)

[RedlegJake]

back

where did you go?











:laugh:

[Tom Servo]

Cozart with what amounts to a song sac bunt in the form a FC up the middle as Frazier was running. Hannigan flies out to right.

[Red Raindog]

I wouldn't do that if I were you. Red Raindog has had so many surgeries to his limbs that he is now more machine than man. Twisted and evil.

definitely twisted -- ask my wife :D

[Tom Servo]

Reynolds grounds out to short, Castro bobbles but still has just enough time to throw Reynolds out.

2-0 Baby Bears after 2.

[_Sir_Charles_]

definitely twisted -- ask my wife :D

Should we take her opinion over Obi Wan's? ;)

[Roy Tucker]

Am I just a cranky old fan or does it seem like Reds aren't really busting it down to first?

[_Sir_Charles_]

Stopped at Panda Express on the way home tonight. Really fast & friendly service. Drove away thinking, wow, that was great. Got home, food tasted like garbage. I guess it was fast for a reason. :(

[MillerTime58]

Maybe the best course of action at this point is to get Cingrani healthy enough to be a bullpen arm for the playoffs. He and Cueto could be good weapons if a starter falters.

[RedlegJake]

Am I just a cranky old fan or does it seem like Reds aren't really busting it down to first?

Yes...you are definitely old...and definitely cranky...and you are definitely a fan

[MillerTime58]

Stopped at Panda Express on the way home tonight. Really fast & friendly service. Drove away thinking, wow, that was great. Got home, food tasted like garbage. I guess it was fast for a reason. :(Never been there - what did you get?

[LeDoux]

With Cingrani vs Jackson, I had this already in the W column. Too bad they bothered to actually the play the game.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Never been there - what did you get?

Didn't you read my post. Garbage. :O)

Chow mein, Orange chicken & bejing beef. Burnt & dried out. Fortune cookie tasted decent I guess. Yea! :(

[Tom Servo]

Ugh, Donnie Murphy.


4-0 cubs.

[OnBaseMachine]

Donnie Murphy. Wow.

Reds are laying an absolute egg at the worst time.

[RedlegJake]

Ramona made me fajitas. a couple Fat Tire Amber Ales served in an ice pack. took the daughter to the mall and said "enjoy the game, we'll be back later" B-L-I-S-S

[Krawhitham]

Team seems to play better when Thom is out of town

[RedlegJake]

Now if they'd just win this stupid game!!!

[Tom Servo]

5-0 Cubs

[Red in Chicago]

bad play by bruce, followed by bad play by choo...

[Matt700wlw]

This is embarrassing

[OnBaseMachine]

The Reds starting pitching isn't going to dominate every night. The offense has to pick them up time to time. Tonight needs to be one of those times.

I recall the Reds knocking the Cubs out of the playoffs years ago with a late season series win in Chicago. I guess this is their payback, though the Reds still have the Wild Card to fall back on.

[westofyou]

Stopped at Panda Express on the way home tonight. Really fast & friendly service. Drove away thinking, wow, that was great. Got home, food tasted like garbage. I guess it was fast for a reason. :(

Panda Express the Astros of Asian food

[Red Raindog]

Should we take her opinion over Obi Wan's? ;)

she's been with me for 41 years

might know me

[Red Raindog]

Am I just a cranky old fan or does it seem like Reds aren't really busting it down to first?

yes --




to both

[Roy Tucker]

Yes...you are definitely old...and definitely cranky...and you are definitely a fan

Thanks for the data points.

Get off my lawn, punk.

;)

[RedlegJake]

Nothing like a 2 out beat down to humble ya a bit

[dubc47834]

I'm usually the positive one around here, but man this depressing!

[texasdave]

I wouldn't do that if I were you. Red Raindog has had so many surgeries to his limbs that he is now more machine than man. Twisted and evil.

Not to mention the fact that Red Raindog is likely to abscond with your clubhouse dues and venture off to Tahiti at a moment's notice.

[RedlegJake]

I have 4 Amber Ales then I am into the Coors. It will Coors by the 5th inning tonight.

[MillerTime58]

We should just petition MLB to play all future Cubs/Reds games in Wrigley.

[Kc61]

If it make anybody feel better, the Cubs don't pitch badly on the road. Fourth best away ERA in the NL. Reds are second.

[Roy Tucker]

C'mon boys. Jackson isn't that good.

[Tom Servo]

Well, this game sucks.

[RedlegJake]

Thanks for the data points.

Get off my lawn, punk.

;)

Curmudgeon....I now have mental image of Walter Matthau in Grumpy Old Men when I see your name Roy...:lol:

[OnBaseMachine]

If it make anybody feel better, the Cubs don't pitch badly on the road. Fourth best away ERA in the NL. Reds are second.

Jackson has the fifth highest road ERA in the NL.

The Reds offense can be maddening at times.

[RedlegJake]

If it make anybody feel better, the Cubs don't pitch badly on the road. Fourth best away ERA in the NL. Reds are second.

That gap closed a bit tonight so far

[Red in Chicago]

joey with a birthday single and double today

[Falcon7]

That was a routine catch for any decent HS centerfielder, Choo!

[Roy Tucker]

Votto does like his opposite field.

[Red Raindog]

Not to mention the fact that Red Raindog is likely to abscond with your clubhouse dues and venture off to Tahiti at a moment's notice.

shush

[RedlegJake]

On our clubhouse dues he might get to Tahiti on his computer

[Kc61]

Jackson is the slowest pitcher I can remember. I mean it's the Reds offense, Edwin, nothing to be afraid of.

[RedlegJake]

Jackson is about as slow a worker as any pitcher in the game

[Kc61]

Show of hands. When the Reds scored the walk off run Sunday night - how many thought that would be their last run of the homestand?

[RedlegJake]

I still don't think its the last run of their homestand

[klw]

0 for 14 with runners on scoring position so far in this series for the Reds.

[RedlegJake]

Today is the late Teddy Klu's birthday (89) along with Joey Votto and Paul Goldschmidt (26) and Randy Johnson (50)

[Red in Chicago]

apparently, the cubs have confused the red uniforms thinking they're playing the cardinals...

[Kc61]

I still don't think its the last run of their homestand

I agree. I think in the next 15 innings the Reds will score at least one.

[George Foster]

Welsh said if the game gets close that play at 3rd might be big...HAHAHA!!!

[klw]

My prediction is that if the Reds get out of this half inning without giving up any more runs that they comeback and win.

[George Foster]

So it looks like Cueto will get a chance to start after all.

Reynolds not exactly fooling anybody..

[George Foster]

My prediction is that if the Reds get out of this half inning without giving up any more runs that they comeback and win.

If that happens, it will be the biggest win of the homstand...seriously.

[Roy Tucker]

Thanks, Dusty. I was afraid he was going to let Reynolds pitch his way out this pickle.

[Red in Chicago]

Thanks, Dusty. I was afraid he was going to let Reynolds pitch his way out this pickle.

i'm not sure christiani is really a better option...

[Kc61]

So it looks like Cueto will get a chance to start after all.

Reynolds not exactly fooling anybody..

In Reynolds defense -- I think he's been sitting for ten days. He was supposed to backup Cingrani five days ago, and wasn't needed.

Now suddenly he's thrust into action. Some guys don't handle that too well.

I wouldn't be against giving Reynolds another shot next time around.

[Red in Chicago]

and the spanking continues...

[Roy Tucker]

i'm not sure christiani is really a better option...

I looked upafter typing that and thought the same thing.

[Kc61]

Nats leading Mets 4-1. Bucs over Rangers 1-0. Cards and Brew are scoreless.

[Roy Tucker]

Rizzo turned into that pitch. How does he get first?

[Red Raindog]

On our clubhouse dues he might get to Tahiti on his computer

TexasDave is referring to the old fan clubs for Cozart & Ludwick -- was treasurer - took the money & ran

;)

[Kc61]

If I'm Dusty I give this game six innings. If the Reds aren't back in it, I pull Votto, Phillips, Choo and Bruce and let them rest for the remainder of the evening.

[NJReds]

After such a great weekend, it's disappointing to see such a lackluster effort from this team.

[George Foster]

In Reynolds defense -- I think he's been sitting for ten days. He was supposed to backup Cingrani five days ago, and wasn't needed.

Now suddenly he's thrust into action. Some guys don't handle that too well.

I wouldn't be against giving Reynolds another shot next time around.

I agree but he had to be told before the game that he was the long man.

[George Foster]

Has anybody ever won that darn toyota? It might as well be in Newport...

[Tom Servo]

All parties involved need to remember that the Cubs are the Cubs.

[Red in Chicago]

13 innings of futility

[texasdave]

Was that Cozart humping it down the line? LOL. Nice.

[Roy Tucker]

Golly. Someone want to tell the Reds this game counts.

I'll give them last night, but there isn't any good excuse for this.

[Kiko]

If I'm Dusty I give this game six innings. If the Reds aren't back in it, I pull Votto, Phillips, Choo and Bruce and let them rest for the remainder of the evening.

If that happens then it will be worth to stick around and see Billy Hamilton.

[George Foster]

0-0 3rd innings Cards and Brewers....we are all Brewers fans tonight..

[OnBaseMachine]

After Sunday night, I thought the Reds were poised to win the division with the next nine games being against three of the worst teams in baseball. Instead, the Reds are facing two consecutive losses to begin this stretch.

Assuming a loss tonight, it's probably going to require at least a 11-5 finish to win the division. Probably 12-4.

[George Foster]

Golly. Someone want to tell the Reds this game counts.

I'll give them last night, but there isn't any good excuse for this.

even if we have scored 4 runs in 4 innings we would be down 2....it's the pitching tonight...

[Roy Tucker]

even if we have scored 4 runs in 4 innings we would be down 2....it's the pitching tonight...

True. But let's start seeing some more quality ABs. Grind out some pitches. Show a little concentration and intensity. They're acting like this is a B spring training game.

[Tom Servo]

Reds have yet to score at home against the Cubs coming off a sweep of the Dodgers , the Pirates have yet to allow a run at the Rangers coming off a thrashing against the Cardinals.



Baseball don't make no sense.

[Ironman92]

Get him outta there. He doesn't want to play.

Complete crap.

[Red Raindog]

All parties involved need to remember that the Cubs are the Cubs.

look like Murderer's Row the last 2 nights.... :(

[OnBaseMachine]

I definitely think a 12-4 finish to the season is doable. 8-2 vs Cubs/Brewers/Astros/Mets. 4-2 vs Pirates. They have to play better than they have the first two games of this series though.

[toledodan]

Get him outta there. He doesn't want to play.

Complete crap.

who??

[The Operator]

Checking in from work. Ugh.

Go 6-1 against StL and LA then get knocked around by The Cubs? Sounds about right. :(


The injury bug has not been nice to us this year.

[OnBaseMachine]

Two on, no outs for Choo. Need at least two here to make this a game.

[New York Red]

Reds have yet to score at home against the Cubs coming off a sweep of the Dodgers , the Pirates have yet to allow a run at the Rangers coming off a thrashing against the Cardinals.
One of those teams doesn't belong with the others.

[OnBaseMachine]

Of course. Double play.

Choo got two great pitches to hit.

[OnBaseMachine]

4-0 Pirates now.

[Roy Tucker]

Two on, no outs for Choo. Need at least two here to make this a game.

He got the wrong 2.

[RedlegJake]

Hope the Brewers help us out

[Magdal]

Hope the Brewers help us outTheir pitcher has the Cards mystified....1 single after 5 I think

Edit: no hits

[Ironman92]

who??

Phillips

[Norm Chortleton]

Get him outta there. He doesn't want to play.

Complete crap.


who??

Phillips I'm assuming. Hotdogged a possible DP ball.

[Red Raindog]

Their pitcher has the Cards mystified....1 single after 5 I think

Edit: no hits

no mystery here for the Bashing Bruins

[Tom Servo]

Donnie



Murphy

[Red Raindog]

Cozart is still playing the game

[Ironman92]

Two things could happen to excite the crowd.....ridiculous comeback (they are teh Cubs) or let HAMILTON PLAY!

[Magdal]

Get him outta there. He doesn't want to play.

Complete crap.Why do you say that?

[Tom Servo]

Two things could happen to excite the crowd.....ridiculous comeback (they are teh Cubs) or let HAMILTON PLAY!
Why not both?

[KittyDuran]

Phillips:ughmamoru: just when I opened up RZ and saw your post - the ad at the top went to Northland Volkswagen (who have BP as a spokesperson)... :D

[Kc61]

In the only other game that has REAL meaning for the Reds, Nats 4-Mets 3 in the eighth.

[Roy Tucker]

I got about 3 outs left in me unless something good happens.

[Ironman92]

Phillips I'm assuming. Hotdogged a possible DP ball.

Complete pouted during the play and added hot dog and then the batter hustles and beats it out. I rarely agree with pulling a player and maybe best handled in the dugout.....but I'd had pulled him. Then to end that same inning he made sure to do it the right way and quickly played on the ball with an immediate crisp toss and ended the inning.

[Red Raindog]

I got about 3 outs left in me unless something good happens.

I suggest ice cream --- that looks like the most likely good happening here

[Red Raindog]

Dusty as an enforcer?

:jump:

[Always Red]

I think the wild card is close to a wrap.

The most important thing at this point is staying out of the one game American Legion championship playoff.

[RedsBrick]

Peculiar game, this baseball. Sweep one of the best teams in the game with incredible play and then lay an egg against one of the worst. :dunno:

[toledodan]

Dusty as an enforcer?

:jump:

DARN RR i saw the jump faces and thought we scored lol

[Roy Tucker]

I suggest ice cream --- that looks like the most likely good happening here

Already had one of my wife's Weight Watcher 100 calorie ice cream bars.

Not bad. Have to watch my svelte figure. Hah.

[BluegrassRedleg]

Reds wave white flag. The Louisville Bats are on the field.

[powersackers]

Baseball is hard. Explains everything. /End thread

[BluegrassRedleg]

Billy Hamilton at least gives us reason to watch this thing a little longer. :)

[RedlegJake]

I'm pretty well looped. Into the Coors. Rocky Mountain High. Soto at first, Izturis at 2nd, Hanahan at 3d, CF Billy the Flash. I must be seeing things....

[Roy Tucker]

Dusty throws in the towel.

[RedlegJake]

It's ST already. What the heck happened? I pull a Rip Van Winkle??

[Magdal]

Cards 1st hit a 2 run homer by Holliday

[RedlegJake]

C'mon, c'mon - hit it to CF. Knock one to the wall. I wanna see Billy fly

[Roy Tucker]

Anything good on at 10?

[RedlegJake]

well I didn;t mean over the wall!!!!!

[Kc61]

I think the wild card is close to a wrap.

The most important thing at this point is staying out of the one game American Legion championship playoff.

If Nats hold on tonight they will be six back, but only five back in the loss column.

I take nothing for granted in this race.

Home run Castillo, 8-0 ballgame.

[Roy Tucker]

Thom has his "I am being patient" big boy voice going tonight.

I predict a major Thom diatribe and rant before the game is over.

Where's my Woodford Reserve?

[RedlegJake]

now I am just watching to see the new guys play. Don't often say its over but its over.

[Ironman92]

I applaud Dusty for getting Hamilton and Robinson in....but I'd replace the entire lineup quite honestly and go for the win tomorrow. I'm a little worried he's going to put a crap lineup out there.

[kbrake]

Anything good on at 10?

Season premiere of Sons of Anarchy.

[Red Raindog]

DARN RR i saw the jump faces and thought we scored lol

have another drink -- that's my formula

[Ironman92]

Oh Billy....run up that wall and excite us.

[Red Raindog]

Thom has his "I am being patient" big boy voice going tonight.

I predict a major Thom diatribe and rant before the game is over.

Where's my Woodford Reserve?

too slow -- higher proof needed here

[Kc61]

There is absolutely no way Baker will be playing a lot of backups tomorrow.

[New York Red]

Embarrassing.

[Tom Servo]

See now this is the night I wish there was a football game on, not two nights ago.

[toledodan]

There is absolutely no way Baker will be playing a lot of backups tomorrow.

never say never with dusty.

[BluegrassRedleg]

There is absolutely no way Baker will be playing a lot of backups tomorrow.

Maybe the only positive thing that comes of this.

[RedlegJake]

Reminds me of something from the lost decade except they could at least score


Cozart hit streak at 15 games! Great day in the morning Zack is hot

[RedlegJake]

Corky the Mustache breaks it open!!!! Reds just needed the stache!

[toledodan]

corky!!!!!

[Ironman92]

15 games....decent

He's pretty much halfway to DiMaggio

/Dustymath

[RedlegJake]

Votto, Bruce, Choo, Ludwick....it takes Corky Miller to break the long, long, long RISP hitless streak


baseball IS a funny game

[toledodan]

maybe the cubs can cub up about 8 more runs. that was awful defense.

[Ironman92]

What a horrible play by Lake lol

Corky has knocked in Cozart 3x in his last 4 AB with doubles.

Corky Miller is pretty much Tris Speaker his last 5 AB

[RedlegJake]

Only need 7 boys - Hi-C will start us on the path

[RedlegJake]

BHam looks like a deer in headlights...my gosh he looks nervous

[SporkLover]

This is one of the more frustrating aspects of baseball for me. Crush some of the top teams, get silenced by one of the worst. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot!!!

[WVRedsFan]

Woo-ers should be fined for being a public nuisance.

[RedlegJake]

lines out, made decent contact...got it over with.

[Kc61]

Hamilton lines out. That's out of the way.

No shut out, Reds got a run.

Can't think of any reason to continue watching. Can you?

[Ironman92]

Corky at 2nd....Hamilton inside the park HR....might be interesting! Lol

[RedlegJake]

soft liner...wish it had hit the ground and given a chance to see him run it out

[WVRedsFan]

nothing else on, unfortunately.

I'm a big Reds fan....something good will happen over the 2 innings.

I'm watchin.

[Red Raindog]

new math?

[RedlegJake]

Duke on the mound. Do they have anyone else new left to throw out on the mound? I mean we might as well see every new face tonight.

[Ironman92]

It was well hit going that direction. Well worthy of some more opportunities when these opportunities arise.

[Always Red]

Anything good on at 10?

Person of Interest is good.

[Ironman92]

new math?

Dusty Math

[RedlegJake]

new math?

LOL. Then they get another 2 next inning. I was thinking 8-1. Remember...I'm as many beers into this as the Cubs have runs. Affects my calcalatin.

[Ironman92]

Ugh....Ondrusek coming in, might as well get Simon warming up.

[toledodan]

why is dusty burning through the pen down 8 and the starters pulled?

[RedlegJake]

Low-gun Awn-Droo-Suck funetically. My personal least favorite reliever. Well, maybe next to Al-fray-doe see-moan before he became Al-fray-do Sigh-mahn

[Ironman92]

why is dusty burning through the pen down 8 and the starters pulled?

He's really not used anyone that you'd want to pitch in a close game. Duke can go tomorrow if he needs.

[WVRedsFan]

Tonight, we've seen Reynolds (bombed), Christani (not so great), Partch (horrible), and Duke (amazing). What happened to the Reds bullpen we knew and loved. When Tony left, we were only down 2-0. The scrubs pitched 6.2 innings and allowed 12 hits and 7 runs? What was Dusty thinking?

[Norm Chortleton]

And he's double-switched twice down 9-0 and 9-1. :laugh: He just can't help himself.

[Ironman92]

Heisey gets his inning and is subbed out. Lol
