8/10/14 Reds vs Marlins

[Ironman92]

Best lineup of the year.

http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/08/10/aveze4y5.jpg

Reds go for double digit runs.

[Ironman92]

Sorry WVRedsFan

When it rains, it pours.

[Red Raindog]

I'm sickened that Heisey is in the lineup -- I understand BH is struggling but Heisey is the LAST person I want to see on the field today -- except maybe Hoover ;)

You'd prefer Schu in center? It's a small bench. Heisey has to play some time.

[reds1869]

Hamilton will benefit from back to back days off. Heisey screwed up big time last night but he is the best defensive option in CF if Billy sits.

[Red Raindog]

I hold grudges
Negron in CF
Heisey out of here

[Ironman92]

Stanton #29

Some dumb fan just threw the ball back on the field....what a moron.

[Larkin Fan]

Stanton strikes again.

[Larkin Fan]

1-0 now. An insurmountable lead for the Reds today?

[Tom Servo]

Rocco! :jump:

[toledodan]

Rocco

[DocRed]

Wow....Mes "powdered" that ball LOL.

[Larkin Fan]

Haha, I tried Ironman's trick and it worked! 2-1Reds on a HR by Rocco!

[NebraskaRed]

I like the part where Mesoraco murdered that ball.

[Superdude]

Wow....Mes "powdered" that ball LOL.

I'm not sure why that happened, but it was awesome. I say we powder the bats from here on out.

[Ironman92]

Haha, I tried Ironman's trick and it worked! 2-1Reds on a HR by Rocco!

Don't get cocky and don't admit to early

[Ironman92]

Gotta keep hitting Hand. Santiago had a nice hit, Cozart just missed one, Heisey and Cueto both were hit good enough for hits but to no avail.

Hopefully they hit even better next time around. Let's score 10+

[Ironman92]

Cueto gives up a hit to 0-14 John Hand

[Ironman92]

Cueto gets hit in the tricep off the bounce. Poor fielding position

[Ironman92]

Thru 3 for Cueto

Need to open this game up and give Cueto an easy win.

[Tom Servo]

Cueto gives up a hit to 0-14 John Hand
Brad Hand's brother?

[757690]

Time to take it to Mr. Hand.

[Ironman92]

Brad/John/Mike/Bill/Steve

[Red Raindog]

Thru 3 for Cueto

Need to open this game up and give Cueto an easy win.

what are you smoking and do you have any extra? ;)

[Tom Servo]

Johnny victimized by the gopher ball. Tie game.

[Ironman92]

Johnny victimized by the gopher ball. Tie game.

He was pristine in pitching to Stanton....loss of focus

[Ironman92]

what are you smoking and do you have any extra? ;)

I don't smoke and no.

[Ironman92]

He has got to get the ball own....really hanging a lot of pitches

[KittyDuran]

He was pristine in pitching to Stanton....loss of focus

That ball kept carrying ... Landed about 8 rows in front of me.

high bat speed ignites end of bat -- amazing!

[Ironman92]

Cueto getting frustrated with Meso but without him and the Reds are scoreless.

[Larkin Fan]

Brad Hand equals the revenge of Richard Hand?

[Ironman92]

Brad Hand equals the revenge of Richard Hand?

I guess at least his name isn't Jack

[Ironman92]

Ok.... Now Reds are sucking against Hand. Great, going to get swept

[Larkin Fan]

Cueto is really letting things get to him today. A very unusual day for him.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Nice quick play by Cueto on the sac bunt attempt.

[Ironman92]

Nice play by Cueto....who is hard to watch uncomfortable today

[Tom Servo]

Great sac bunt by Cueto. 2nd and 3rd for the top of the order.

[BCubb2003]

Cueto uncomfortable because of Mesoraco?

[Tom Servo]

Negron flies out, not deep enough for a sac fly. Blergh.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Wait a second....did Smith really decide to NOT send someone?!?

[Red Raindog]

I think Bill Hands could hold this team down -- today at 74 years old

[Tom Servo]

Nice AB by Jay.

[toledodan]

Bruce walks. Todd father time

[Ironman92]

Bruce walks on the 6th ball

[RedsManRick]

That's one of the better Bruce plate appearances I've seen all year. Sure, he may have flailed twice, but he adjusted and worked the walk. At this point in his career, I would hope that he'd be better at recognizing those pitches, but I'm glad he was able to figure out in this situation.

[Tom Servo]

That looked like ball 4 to me boooo

[Larkin Fan]

That was a ball not a strike.

[_Sir_Charles_]

That was ball 4 IMO.

[JMO]

Horrible horrible call

[RedsBaron]

That was a ball not a strike.

Yep

[Tom Servo]

There's ball 4!

3-2 Redlegs

[JMO]

Good AB Frazier

[toledodan]

Todd father walks a run in

[Ironman92]

Fish don't know what to do

[RedsBaron]

Home plate ump finally got a call right

[BCubb2003]

Productive OBP.

[Ironman92]

Walks led to the run.... Now a gapper to open floodgates

[JMO]

Be patient Mes, make him throw strikes.

[Larkin Fan]

I'm totally okay with getting bases loaded walks.

[AmarilloRed]

Gameday has a injury delay-who got injured?

Grand Slam-all right!

[Tom Servo]

Rocco! :jump:

OMG!!

[JMO]

Wooooooooooooooooooo baby

[_Sir_Charles_]

Has Rocco been checked for PEP's on his bat?

:jump: GRANNY! 7-2 Reds!

[Larkin Fan]

Holy crap grand slam #3 for Rocco!

[Ironman92]

Gotta HAND it to Meso

[RedsBaron]

Boom!

[toledodan]

Rocco! We would fire somebody if price would have pulled this stunt lol. Can't believe the fish left him in.

[BCubb2003]

Has Rocco been checked for PEP's on his bat?

:jump: GRANNY! 7-2 Reds!

Powdered Flubber?

[Tom Servo]

2 HR, 6 RBI

And Pena would be starting today if not for his hamstring.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Performance Enhancing Powders. A new fad catching on. :O)

[JMO]

2-3 with 2 HR and 6 RBI. Not bad at all Mes. 3 GS in 2014.

[Larkin Fan]

Hand gave us a hand that inning. Love it!

[KittyDuran]

Rocco! We would fire somebody if price would have pulled this stunt lol. Can't believe the fish left him in.

Well considering how anemic this Reds offense has been so far in this series ...why would they?

[JMO]

2 HR, 6 RBI

And Pena would be starting today if not for his hamstring.

No kidding, good point.

- - - Updated - - -

2 HR and 6 RBI all with 2 outs. ALL 7 runs have come with 2 outs.

[KittyDuran]

2 HR, 6 RBI

And Pena would be starting today if not for his hamstring.

Not to worry he'll be back for Johnny's next start... ;)

[Larkin Fan]

Cueto has to wonder what has happened the last two starts? The Reds have scored him more runs than he ever thought was possible!

[villain612]

My man crush on Rocco continues...

[Ironman92]

Cueto has to wonder what has happened the last two starts? The Reds have scored him more runs than he ever thought was possible!

I'll share what it is in 10 min

[Tom Servo]

haha oh man, Johnny was not running in the slighest, and the Marlins still throw the ball away.

[_Sir_Charles_]

That'll work. Tapper back to the pitcher, Dyson throws it away. Cozart to 3rd, Cueto to 2nd.

It was a poor throw, but Jones should've had it IMO.

[Ironman92]

Cueto has to wonder what has happened the last two starts? The Reds have scored him more runs than he ever thought was possible!

The last 4 games that Skip Schumaker HASN'T started

won by 7
won by 5
won by 4
today winning by 5

Last 3 Skip starts....losses scoring 3 or fewer runs. Not a good hitter, no range and also now bad karma lol

[Tom Servo]

C'mon Ramon, you're supposed to be a defense first guy.

[Ironman92]

That hurt...error by Santiago

[Ironman92]

C'mon Ramon, you're supposed to be a defense first guy.

Errors happen

[_Sir_Charles_]

C'mon Ramon, you're supposed to be a defense first guy.

Not at third. Middle infielder by trade.

[Ironman92]

Cueto needs to pick up Santiago

[Ironman92]

Way to battle all day Johnny

[Gallen5862]

What is the score? What Inning is it in?

[_Sir_Charles_]

IMO that should be it for Cueto. 102 pitches with a 5 run lead. 117 last time out.

7-2 Reds, 7th inning stretch time.

[Gallen5862]

Thanks Sir Charles.

[_Sir_Charles_]

NP Gallen

- - - Updated - - -

Jay just missed one. Oppo shot to the wall.

[Tom Servo]

What is the score? What Inning is it in?
Our fellow UNCW alumni Chris Hatcher is now in for Miami.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Very quick 1-2-3 for Hatcher. What was that 4 pitches?

7 pitches.

[Ironman92]

Predicting 464 ft Stanton bomb

[Tom Servo]

Bruuuuuuuuuuuuce defense

[Ironman92]

Lol...caught it!

[WVRedsFan]

No. Bruce takes care of this.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Not a fan of this move. Cueto back out. He's struggled a bit today, he's battled, but still not a smooth and easy game. 117 last time out, no need to push this IMO.

WOW!!!!!! Jay ROBS Mike Stanton!!!!

[Tom Servo]

Not crazy about Johnny still being out there after the heavy work load last time out and given the lead today.

[Larkin Fan]

Wallophobia? I don't think so.

[WVRedsFan]

Sometimes I wonder about our former pitching coach.

[Ironman92]

Wallophobia? I don't think so.

Different type play. Let's enjoy the catch

[Larkin Fan]

Different type play. Let's enjoy the catch

I'm pretty sure I was enjoying the catch...

[Ironman92]

Sometimes I wonder about our former pitching coach.

He's been clear and consistent all year long... He pushes the starters. We'll see if it affects them in Sept.

[Roy Tucker]

Bruce has some hops.

[_Sir_Charles_]

1-2-3 go the Fish.

Please tell me that NOW Cueto's done? Please. :pray:

[Ironman92]

I'm pretty sure I was enjoying the catch...

Good, it was a great timing play with excellent execution. Fun stuff

[Ironman92]

Heisey will strikeout on 2 pitches

[WVRedsFan]

Gotta wonder who they will bring in. Five run lead so far.

[Ironman92]

Gotta wonder who they will bring in. Five run lead so far.

Contreras maybe

[WVRedsFan]

Heisey will strikeout on 2 pitchesHe would make the record books. Only chance he has...

[Ironman92]

Luddy not looking good today

[_Sir_Charles_]

Parra, Hoover or Contreras. No way I use one of the main guys.

(This is who I THINK will be used...Personally I'd use Contreras or Parra...I have Hoover sweeping the sunflower seeds off the dugout floor)

[Ironman92]

He would make the record books. Only chance he has...

Actually he's already in the record books with 3 pop outs to first base in one game

[WVRedsFan]

Heisey gets a cheap base hit. Man, this guy has a way to get stuff out of the dumpster so someone will say, "he got a hit and that's important." What a joke.

[50YrRedsFan]

LAD (Kershaw) 2 - MIL 1, bot 5; SD 5 - PIT 2, bot 6; STL 3 - BAL 2, top 6

[_Sir_Charles_]

Actually he's already in the record books with 3 pop outs to first base in one game

Janish gets that.

Evened out getting robbed his first AB

Lol....I've just watched to cruddy losses to this Fish team where the Reds just tease you....today they win handily....ENJOY

THOUGH if Pena wasn't hurt we may have a 3rd straight

[_Sir_Charles_]

Nevermind. Inning over.

Hoover in for Cueto though. *shudders*

[50YrRedsFan]

Hoover in..

[WVRedsFan]

Evened out getting robbed his first AB

We are winning 7-2 enjoyI am. listening to Marty and Doug--he should be in the booth replacing Kelch if you ask me--and enjoying. God bless MLB At Bat. Perfect timing--it's raining at the beach.

[Larkin Fan]

Crap, this lead isn't big enough for Hoover.

[Ironman92]

Why not Contreras?

Price trying to get fans their free pizzas?

[Ironman92]

Looks like cruddy weather until Thursday

WVRedsFan enjoying the beach in West Virginia. Yeah, I remember my first time getting drunk too. :O)

[Ironman92]

Crap, this lead isn't big enough for Hoover.

Calling your reverse

[Larkin Fan]

Calling your reverse

Sadly, I was dead serious.

[Red Raindog]

Got to see the two players on the field that did not want to see today -- Heisey & Hoover -- the horror twins

[Ironman92]

Shouldn't tease a guy at the beach with cruddy weather.

I bet his wife is looking through pics like this

http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/08/11/uvurepub.jpgThe missus doesn't know who Jay Bruce or anyone is. But I'm convinced that JJ and Skip have pictures and Ludwick does not. At least I hope because their play defies any normal human being from playing them regularly.

[_Sir_Charles_]

And this one belongs to the Reds! Game ball to Devin Mesoraco.

[50YrRedsFan]

Final Score: Mesoracos 7 - Marlins 2

[Roy Tucker]

Fried fish.

[WVRedsFan]

Two over an it should have been a sweep, but that's life. I'm not over served today :)

Luddy struggled mightily today....that scares me into Skip getting more chances
