[DocRed]

Awesome Skip and Bernadina starting today....our worst 2 OF'ers by far IMO. Come on Price..

[PepperJack]

Awesome Skip and Bernadina starting today....our worst 2 OF'ers by far IMO. Come on Price..

If Hamilton is getting a day off, that is a much better choice than Heisey and Ludwick against Greinke.

Hopefully.

[NebraskaRed]

Awesome Skip and Bernadina starting today....our worst 2 OF'ers by far IMO. Come on Price..

Bernadina is 4 for 9 against Greinke.

And Schumaker has been pretty good against Greinke in the past.

[DocRed]

Bernadina is 4 for 9 against Greinke.

And Schumaker has been pretty good against Greinke in the past.

Heisey has the same ave against him and Skip is at the end of his career. And Heisey is a far better OF'er than Skip. Its clear to me that Price prefers Skip in the OF to Heisey for some reason.

[Ironman92]

Bernadina is 4 for 9 against Greinke.

And Schumaker has been pretty good against Greinke in the past.

Skip was also a pretty good player in the past.....right now his .532 OPS is getting WAY too many starts.

[Ironman92]

Heisey has the same ave against him and Skip is at the end of his career. And Heisey is a far better OF'er than Skip. Its clear to me that Price prefers Skip in the OF to Heisey for some reason.

Price's wife thinks Heisey is cute.

[DocRed]

Skip was also a pretty good player in the past.....right now his .532 OPS is getting WAY too many starts.

Skip may be the only player who gets more starts the worse he plays...must be nice.

[Ironman92]

If Hamilton is getting a day off, that is a much better choice than Heisey and Ludwick against Greinke.

Hopefully.

Heisey is 2/7 with 2 doubles off of Greinke

[NebraskaRed]

Heisey has the same ave against him and Skip is at the end of his career. And Heisey is a far better OF'er than Skip. Its clear to me that Price prefers Skip in the OF to Heisey for some reason.

That is incorrect.

Bernadina lifetime vs. Greinke: 444/.444/.444/.889

Heisey: .286/.286/.571/.857

[DocRed]

That is incorrect.

Bernadina lifetime vs. Greinke: 444/.444/.444/.889

Heisey: .286/.286/.571/.857

I was referring to Skip.

[Ironman92]

Skip may be the only player who gets more starts the worse he plays...must be nice.

He's gritty! Like Ryan Freel without the speed

[NebraskaRed]

Unfortunately, I'm not sure it matters who the Reds put out there today if Greinke's slider and changeup are working as they have been. Those two pitches have been kryptonite to the Reds. They're 1.37 weighted runs created below average per 100 sliders (3rd worst in baseball behind the Pirates and Red Sox).

[DocRed]

Skip has started 9 of the last 16 games going 5 for 36, BA .139 with ZERO XBH
Heisey has started 2 of the last 16 games going 2 for 14, BA .143 with 1HR and 1double.
Ludwick has started 7 of the last 16 games going 6 for 27, BA .222 with 2HR and 2double.

Clearly both Heisey and Luddie aren't lighting it up but Skip has been poor both offensively and defensively. At least Heisey gives you good D and Luddie has some pop. Even though all 3 have been not great you still weaken your team by continually starting the worst of the 3.

[bucksfan2]

Every year we he clamoring for Heisey to start more and every year he disappoints.

[WrongVerb]

I like Heisey and Schu on the bench. Neither should start with ANY regularity.

There's a HUGE hole in LF and it's not being addressed. That falls on Walt's shoulders.

[dsmith421]

Every year we he clamoring for Heisey to start more and every year he disappoints.

In fairness, that's because the alternatives to Heisey get progressively worse every year.

[DocRed]

Every year we he clamoring for Heisey to start more and every year he disappoints.

And a disappointing Heisey is still better than Skip.

[Tom Servo]

1-0 bad guys lead

[Ironman92]

Every year we he clamoring for Heisey to start more and every year he disappoints.

I'm clamoring for Schumaker to start once a week and be a bench player because he's been statistically terrible.

[VR]

Concerned about Simon hitting the starter's wall......

[malcontent]

I'm clamoring for Schumaker to start once a week and be a bench player because he's been statistically terrible.
I think we see a different Schumaker if he doesn't lay out for a ST ball.

[RedTeamGo!]

Schumaker/Heisey/Bernadina = all terrible. It doesn't matter.

It is like being upset a dog pissed on your right leg instead of your left.

[VR]

Skip reads RedsZone

[NebraskaRed]

Skip singles slyly...or something

[kbrake]

Awful lineup, Price. Hahaha

[Ironman92]

Lol....how did that go out? I'm going to have to replay that, off the bat looked like a blooper???

[NebraskaRed]

Frazier!!

[tomnuetten]

and skip with a single :D

skip isn´t playing good baseball so far, heisey isn´t and has never been as a starter, bernadina has a terrible year

and frazier is good :beerme: :jump:

[Ironman92]

Totally baffled by that Frazier HR lol

[NebraskaRed]

Votto with a double

[Raisor]

Around goes Frazier

[VR]

Great sassy molassy, the Reds brought their sticks today

[Ironman92]

Votto!

[Larry Schuler]

What sorcery is this???

[Raisor]

Awful lineup, Price. Hahaha

Perfect timing

[RedTeamGo!]

Votto with 3 doubles in 4 games. Where has the power gone? :evil:

[villain612]

A couple things....

When I was growing up, we'd eat Skyline everytime dad took us to see the Reds play, which was a 2 hour drive from our home in Ohio.

In my mid-20's I moved to Florida and I haven't been to a game at GABP since at least 2005, which with that, haven't had Skyline in about a decade.

The other day I was driving around and luckily spotted one tucked away in a shopping center not too far from my house. I've been waiting for a special occasion to partake since I'm trying to watch the calories. Anyway, today is my 30th birthday, so I felt some Skyline was necessary as I watch the Reds today. I feel like a kid again.

[VR]

Frazier is OpS'ing well over 100 points from the next closest NL 3b, yet isn't even in the top 5 for voting.

Huh?

[SlimJim11]

BP was out.

[Ironman92]

He's out

[Ironman92]

Good hustle though

[tomnuetten]

should be out...

[kbrake]

Perfect timing

Sarcasm. Lot of people upset Heisey isn't playing and after 2 batters Reds are up 2-0.

[Tom Servo]

No Thom today to say "That's not going to get the job done".

[SlimJim11]

Votto stayed at 3rd instead of running on contact. Nice!

[Ironman92]

Pretty cool to post on the same site as John Fay

[Tom Servo]

"Mesoraco out of Rhode Island"


wat

[Ironman92]

Greinke is stinky

[Tom Servo]

Should have gotten Votto in. Oh well. Simon needs to be better.

[Ironman92]

Big Pasta...like a cat

[NebraskaRed]

The Dodgers really know how to work the count.

[Ironman92]

The Dodgers really know how to work the count.

Their doing it yesterday did not work at all but it probably keeps Broxton from being available today.

[villain612]

Good job Alfredo.

[VR]

43 pitches so far for Simon.....may be an early bp day.

[VR]

I feel like Bernazart seeing a combined 9 pitches is a victory. #lowexpectations

[villain612]

Having Bernandina, Cozart, and the pitcher's spot in order is a literal black hole for 1/3 of our lineup.

[50YrRedsFan]

Having Bernandina, Cozart, and the pitcher's spot in order is a literal black hole for 1/3 of our lineup.

I hope this game isn't another 'score early, then die' offensive game.

[RedTeamGo!]

I hope this game isn't another 'score early, then die' offensive game.

Spoiler Alert:

It is

[Raisor]

I hope this game isn't another 'score early, then die' offensive game.

Take runs when they get them.

[Ironman92]

Simon was a great pick up a few years back

[SlimJim11]

Having Bernandina, Cozart, and the pitcher's spot in order is a literal black hole for 1/3 of our lineup.

don't worry, schumaker is the next one up. Cozart has a higher OPS than 3 people in our lineup. YEAH!

[757690]

Spoiler Alert:

It is

I agree, but only because it's Greinke on the mound.

[RedTeamGo!]

I agree, but only because it's Greinke on the mound.

That is what I meant

[villain612]

It really irks me that baseball broadcasts still stick to the "AVG - HR - RBI" stat lines for players.

[NebraskaRed]

That Votto guy is pretty good.

[villain612]

That Votto guy is pretty good.

Yeah..it sucks that we're stuck with him for a decade.

[VR]

Plane to Milwaukie is apparently leaving early.

[NebraskaRed]

Simon: 43 pitches in the first two innings, 16 in the next two.

[50YrRedsFan]

Plane to Milwaukie is apparently leaving early.

They're taking the bus:laugh:

[VR]

Simon: 43 pitches in the first two innings, 16 in the next two.

Very good turnaround....would like to see him get into the 7th or 8th today.

[Tom Servo]

Thought Rock had himself a dinger.

[WrongVerb]

Thought Rock had himself a dinger.

Warning track power. :D

[malcontent]

Why is Bernadina bunting?

[villain612]

Why is Bernadina bunting?

YOLO

[Chuckie]

It's weird listening to a game on radio. And I used to listen to tons of games on radio each year. But now, even the weekday "business day specials" are usually televised. It's a rarity when radio is the only option for me.

Brantley has improved a little as a PBP guy, but he's still awful for the most part. The game is much easier to follow when Marty is on the call. Brantley doesn't "paint the picture" of what is happening ... unless you count abstract art. On the other hand, Marty makes you feel like you're watching the game.

[RedTeamGo!]

What did Votto do? What is the score?

[reds1869]

Rants and obsessions aside, Marty is a master. He is one of a small handful of truly elite pbp men.

[Ironman92]

2-1 Reds

Votto double and single and nice scoop on a tough hop on a throw to first

[reds44]

What did Votto do? What is the score?

2 for 2

2-1 Reds

[Tom Servo]

What did Votto do? What is the score?
2-1 Reds off of a Frazier HR. Votto is 2-2 with a double.

[villain612]

As bad as Cozart is at hitting, he's really solid on defense.

[50YrRedsFan]

Why is Bernadina bunting?

Why is Bernadina playing?

[RedTeamGo!]

thanks everybody

[malcontent]

Why is Bernadina playing?
He's like 23-32 against Greinke. So why the bunting?

[kbrake]

So nice listening to an announcing team actually call the game and sound like they enjoy baseball. Really nice change of pace from an announcer sounding as if every slip up from a player is a personal insult to the announcer.

[villain612]

Rants and obsessions aside, Marty is a master. He is one of a small handful of truly elite pbp men.

Even though Marty has evolved into the "get off my lawn" guy, I still enjoy listening to him on the radio. He's great on the radio and it's hard to think of Reds baseball without him.

[50YrRedsFan]

He's like 23-32 against Greinke. So why the bunting?
Are you saying we should give players IQ tests before signing them?;)

[reds44]

I'm watching on gameday and the Reds are 30-34.

Why does it feel like they're 20-44?

Not that 30-34 is great or anything, but it's not a disaster with all the injuries.

[kbrake]

They might not have got the 2nd out but that turn was insane. Holy cow.

[malcontent]

Are you saying we should give players IQ tests before signing them?;)
Maybe just a Wonderlic.

[WrongVerb]

They might not have got the 2nd out but that turn was insane. Holy cow.

Sounds like Cozart's had a few highlight worthy plays today.

[malcontent]

I'm watching on gameday and the Reds are 30-34.

Why does it feel like they're 20-44?

Not that 30-34 is great or anything, but it's not a disaster with all the injuries.
Because there are some Chicken Littles around here?

Without Simon we would be 20-44.

[RedTeamGo!]

Without Simon we would be 20-44.

how do you figure that?

[villain612]

Because there are some Chicken Littles around here?

Without Simon we would be 20-44.

Yeah... Johnny Cueto has a 1.85 ERA and his record is 6-5.

That's Cubs-esque.

[Ironman92]

Nice throw....

Gonzo struggling

[reds44]

Because there are some Chicken Littles around here?

Without Simon we would be 20-44.
He's the runaway MVP then haha

[Tom Servo]

I'm watching on gameday and the Reds are 30-34.

Why does it feel like they're 20-44?

Not that 30-34 is great or anything, but it's not a disaster with all the injuries.
That's what I've been saying. I know it feels bad but man, people act like it is 20-44.

[villain612]

Awesome double play. What a throw by Mesoraco.

[reds44]

Yeah... Johnny Cueto has a 1.85 ERA and his record is 6-5.

That's Cubs-esque.
Doesn't Samardjza have like a 2 ERA and 1 win?

[reds44]

That's what I've been saying. I know it feels bad but man, people act like it is 20-44.

Shoot I remember the days I'd be happy with 30-34 lol

[Ironman92]

Cannot wait to get Simon back in the bullpen pitching in the 6th and 7th innings...

[villain612]

Doesn't Samardjza have like a 2 ERA and 1 win?

2.54 ERA and he's 2-5. LOL

- - - Updated - - -

Given the backend of our lineup, this could be our last shot at some runs for today.

[Tom Servo]

Thought for sure Votto had his third hit off the bat, instead a nicely turned double play.

[Chuckie]

That's what I've been saying. I know it feels bad but man, people act like it is 20-44.

Good point. And can you make Mesoraco your avatar again? He was raking the last time you had him up there. (I blame you for his slump, Tom.)

- - - Updated - - -


He's the runaway MVP then haha

He is a 10 WAR player. Haha.

[_Sir_Charles_]

I must say, the Dodgers broadcast team is kinda refreshing. I recognize Hershiser, not sure who the other is....sounds like that guy from ESPN.

[Tom Servo]

Good point. And can you make Mesoraco your avatar again? He was raking the last time you had him up there. (I blame you for his slump, Tom.)

That's a good point, plus I have been looking it to change it since the Lutzstache left this world.

[Ironman92]

I must say, the Dodgers broadcast team is kinda refreshing. I recognize Hershiser, not sure who the other is....sounds like that guy from ESPN.

Charley Steiner (sp)

[757690]

Big inning here.

[Ironman92]

I must say, the Dodgers broadcast team is kinda refreshing. I recognize Hershiser, not sure who the other is....sounds like that guy from ESPN.

Steiner is very upset over the Frazier HR....he's mentioned it a dozen times.

[VR]

Need a strikeout here.

[Tom Servo]

Uh oh, wheels coming off.

[reds44]

oh boy

[Ironman92]

I hope they get Federoividivovich to GIDP

[JMO]

The situation when Votto was on 3rd with 1 out and Bruce couldn't get him in, that could be huge. Reds would be up 3-1

[Tom Servo]

Not trying to run on Bruce's (or, to Charlie Steiner, Votto's) arm.

[Ironman92]

Looked out

[757690]

Big decision for Mattingly

[Ironman92]

Once he got hung up Kemp did pretty good getting him to 3rd

[_Sir_Charles_]

Are they challenging this? They should IMO.

[Tom Servo]

"This really has been the problem for the Dodgers, getting that run in from third with less than 2 outs."


Someone tell the L.A. announcers that the Reds are the only team in baseball who don't do that. Redszone told me so.

- - - Updated - - -


Are they challenging this? They should IMO.
Yeah I would have challenged that play at third.

[Ironman92]

If Frazier's ball doesn't carry like that in the first Greinke would be hitting still

[Tom Servo]

Big Pasta delivers! Great job! :clap:

[kbrake]

BIG PASTA.

[villain612]

Wow.

Simon deserves his spot as a starter just for that inning alone.

[Ironman92]

Simon says....no soup for you!

[SirFelixCat]

Great job getting out of that inning, Alfie!

[JMO]

BIG OUT HERE. I would go Marshall vs Gordon to open the 8th. LeCure for the next 2 outs. Chapman for the 9th. Reds win 2-1

[757690]

If Frazier's ball doesn't carry like that in the first Greinke would be hitting still

If Greinke's parents never met, the Reds would be facing Paul Maholm today.

[RedsBrick]

OK, that was great!

[_Sir_Charles_]

Nice escape job.

[NebraskaRed]

Alfredo "Houdini" Simon

[reds44]

Leave him in for the 8th. Get it to Chapman.

[Ironman92]

Wow.

Simon deserves his spot as a starter just for that inning alone.

If not then the 81 innings with an ERA under 3.00 will suffice me.

[JMO]

Simon, what a year so far. The Big Pasta getting it done.

[Ironman92]

Leave him in for the 8th. Get it to Chapman.

I'd start him and have Cingrani ready to face AGon and Ethier...

[villain612]

Glad to see Grienke gone.

[VR]

Great job 'fredo! :clap:

[50YrRedsFan]

Glad to see Grienke gone.

Ditto...........2 base runners since the 1st inning.

[reds44]

I'd start him and have Cingrani ready to face AGon and Ethier...
On two days rest?

[JMO]

Simon coming back out for the 8th? I would be warming up Chapman right now, the Reds NEED THIS GAME.

[Ironman92]

CarGo's injury called fatty mass of testicles.....

[Ironman92]

On two days rest?

It was a "wink wink" post as to who should be sent to the pen....but yeah he could pitch an inning today and live

[reds44]

Simon coming back out for the 8th? I would be warming up Chapman right now, the Reds NEED THIS GAME.

They're playing their division leader tomorrow. Chapman for two innings pitching a back to back would all but assure he's unavailable tomorrow.

Not saying you shouldn't do it, but just saying.

[kbrake]

Simon coming back out for the 8th? I would be warming up Chapman right now, the Reds NEED THIS GAME.

I agree with you but this is a huge weekend coming up too. I'd really try to not burn Chapman for tomorrow.

[Tom Servo]

CarGo's injury called fatty mass of testicles.....
tentacles, not that that is any less disgusting

[JMO]

That is a good point, but we can't afford to lose this game. Splitting the 4 set against the LAD would be good. LeCure and Chapman finish the game

[reds44]

CarGo's injury called fatty mass of testicles.....
Tentacles

[villain612]

LeCure is coming in.

With Puig coming up, this could be it.

[malcontent]

Nice to give Felix Perez a shot at this point (see other thread).

I like Bernie, but he's underwhelmed.

[Big Klu]

CarGo's injury called fatty mass of testicles.....


tentacles, not that that is any less disgusting

He's got an octopus growing inside him?

This is kind of like Alien!

[JMO]

Huge first out.

[Big Klu]

An observation I've made about Bryan Price:

He doesn't like to pinch-hit for position players.

[VR]

Who's up in the pen?

[malcontent]

96 on pitch 98. Guy has endurance like Bailey.

But why does Turner hate the Reds so much?

[JMO]

Man, who else wanted to sign Justin Turner this offseason instead of Santiago?

[reds44]

Man, who else wanted to sign Justin Turner this offseason instead of Santiago?

can't play SS

[Ironman92]

tentacles, not that that is any less disgusting

Mine is funnier and I read it twice lol

What are tentacles? (No response needed)

[JMO]

2 outs. Mattingly seriously argues on EVERYTHING.

[villain612]

One thing I've learned from this series is that the Dodgers sure are crybabies.

[keeganbrick]

Bring in Cingrani to face Gonzalez:devil:

[Ironman92]

2 outs. Mattingly seriously argues on EVERYTHING.

It's arguable!

[RedsBrick]

Caught a break there.

[JMO]

Simon- 8 IP of 1 R baseball. What a steal of a waiver claim he was.

[malcontent]

2 outs. Mattingly seriously argues on EVERYTHING.
Whats' going on?

[reds44]

Hell of a job.

[Tom Servo]

Simon- 8 IP of 1 R baseball. What a steal of a waiver claim he was.
Dumb sleepy Walt.

[JMO]

Kemp, Either, Hanley due up in the 9th to face Chapman. DEF going to have to earn this win.

[malcontent]

Simon- 8 IP of 1 R baseball. What a steal of a waiver claim he was.
ZERO walks. His WHIP has to be close to 1.00.

[Ironman92]

Whats' going on?

Frazier's throw to BP was high with runner coming in and Phillips looks to be just off the bag at the time of his catch and then he was going up into the air.....

Dodgers have been on the short end of a lot of close calls yesterday and today

[Ironman92]

League sucks...we win

[RedsBrick]

Whats' going on?

Grounder to third, Frazier's throw was high to Phillips at 2nd and wasn't on the bag when he caught it but blue still called him out. Not reviewable, 'neighborhood play'.

[malcontent]

Dumb sleepy Walt.
I loved the move from the start.

I just watched one highlight clip. STUFF.

[JMO]

Leadoff 2B, Cozart. Bunt him to 3B. We need an insurance run

[RedsBrick]

Certainly wouldn't mind a run here.

Nice job Cozart.

[Ironman92]

Cozart is awesome...we win

[reds44]

Cozart's numbers are going to end up where they always are by the end of the year. .250's, no walks, some pop, good defense.

[malcontent]

Not reviewable, 'neighborhood play'.
Didn't know that. Thanks all.

[kbrake]

I always feel dirty when I think bunting is the right move.

[757690]

Gotta bunt Hamilton here

[JMO]

Get Chapman a 2 R lead, come on.

[VR]

ZERO walks. His WHIP has to be close to 1.00.

1.12 coming into today

[Ironman92]

Nice play

[JMO]

OK Schumaker, your turn buddy. HUGE AB HERE.

[Ironman92]

I always feel dirty when I think bunting is the right move.

Skip will make you feel clean

[villain612]

Everyone here supported the bunt.

I've seen it all now.

[JMO]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Didn't need Schumaker. 3-1 baby

[RedsBrick]

Oh Yeah!

[VR]

Way to go Skip! The savvy vet gets the run in!

[reds44]

Wild pitch offense!

[WrongVerb]

Cozart's numbers are going to end up where they always are by the end of the year. .250's, no walks, some pop, good defense.

I could easily live with Cozart being Cozart if the Reds would do ANYTHING about the gaping offensive canyon in left field.

[Ironman92]

League sucks...we win

C'mon people...might be the only time I'm right today

[villain612]

Thanks League.

[757690]

Billy seems to be doing at least one good thing a game lately.

[JMO]

LOL, yep.

[Tom Servo]

Way to go Skip! The savvy vet gets the run in!
A truly clutch AB.

[reds44]

Skip will make you feel clean
Skip cleans like a cat

- - - Updated - - -


I could easily live with Cozart being Cozart if the Reds would do ANYTHING about the gaping offensive canyon in left field.

I think if they're in striking distance in July, this is the year you'll see Walt make some sort of move.

[757690]

League was still frazzled by Hamilton ;)

[WrongVerb]

I support the bunt. I don't support burning a PH in a close game to get it down.

[villain612]

SKIP

[reds44]

I support the bunt. I don't support burning a PH in a close game to get it down.
I would imagine Billy was going to come in for Schumaker for defense anyways.

[JMO]

Cozart is acceptable at SS, no one would notice him if we had a Cespedes in LF. We took a chance on Chapman, we should of taken a chance on Cespedes. Very team friendly contract, RH # 4 to play LF for 6 years in his prime. Imagine this lineup

Hamilton, Frazier, Votto, Cespedes, Bruce, Phillips, Mesoraco, Cozart

[tomnuetten]

skip with a good game today

[Ironman92]

I'm calling ELIAS to see the last time a relief pitcher allowed doubles to two guys in the same inning with an OPS below .575

[Tom Servo]

skippidy doo da skippidy day

[WrongVerb]

I think if they're in striking distance in July, this is the year you'll see Walt make some sort of move.

That's what they always say.

[Ironman92]

The unbelievable flight of Frazier's HR has been the difference in this game about 5 different times today.

[Red Raindog]

Simon has convinced me
Keep him in the rotation and TC to the pen

[Ironman92]

Phillips hurt?

[RedsBrick]

Wow, didn't see that one coming. Ludwick PH for Phillips?

[villain612]

Offense is down amongst all SS so if Cozart ends up where he normally does and continues to be solid defensively, I'd take it.

Completely right about the massive hole in LF though.

[reds44]

Cozart is acceptable at SS, no one would notice him if we had a Cespedes in LF. We took a chance on Chapman, we should of taken a chance on Cespedes. Very team friendly contract, RH # 4 to play LF for 6 years in his prime. Imagine this lineup

Hamilton, Frazier, Votto, Cespedes, Bruce, Phillips, Mesoraco, Cozart
That team would also go long stretches struggling to score runs lol

[JMO]

BP hurt?

[malcontent]

Time to turn a season around, Luddy.

[WrongVerb]

I would imagine Billy was going to come in for Schumaker for defense anyways.

Yeah, and my criticism isn't really of Price per se. Many managers do that. I'd have preferred seeing Cingrani or Leake or Bailey up there trying to put that down.

[Ironman92]

Hurt himself on the neighborhood play?

[reds44]

Ludwick PH for Phillips?

Phillips hurt?

[JMO]

4-1 Reds.

- - - Updated - - -

If you guys hear anything on BP please let those of us following gameday know!

[Ironman92]

Frazier's HR later on forced Mattingly to PH for Greinke when he had 1 or two more innings in him......League is terrible and this one belongs to the Reds!

[Red Raindog]

League was carrying an empty :)3 gallon gas can back to the dugout.

Really hope BP isn't hurt bad. I've enjoyed the 3 games we've had the team healthy.

Everyone calm down - just saw this on mlb.com:

Somebody trip him

[JMO]

Reds blew game 1 of this series against Haren. Easily could have won 3 of 4. I will take the split though. Come on Chapman.

Wearing a wife beater and carrying a 20 oz bottle of Mountain Dew

[RedsBrick]

Opponent average against Chap: .091. That's comical to me.

[villain612]

BP hasn't been stellar offensively this season, but he's been pretty great on the defensive side of things. Hope he's alright. The team is finally healthy.

Me too but Skip can dominate 2nd

[Sea Ray]

Cozart and Ludwick deliver.

This is our day.

Nice to see Ludwick improve over his last face-off with League (tap back to the mound DP)

[JMO]

How big are those 2 runs? Come on Chapman.

[VR]

Andre got the Ether from Chappy

[villain612]

C'mon Chappy. You got this

[JMO]

Just get outs, who cares about the runner on 3B. Get Rojas out.

[50YrRedsFan]

nothing comes easy for the Reds these days.

[toledodan]

[RedsBrick]

Glove in the face!

[toledodan]

Well enough for Rojas...
