[Red Raindog]

The Reds are certainly Walking Spanish -- (the walk to the executioner)

[Gallen5862]

Reds game on MLB network.

- - - Updated - - -

I see alot of empty seats .

[Gallen5862]

First pitch basehit by Heyward.

[50YrRedsFan]

First pitch is banged to left for a single by Heyward.

[Gallen5862]

3-6-3 DP

[Red Raindog]

nice 3-6-3

[50YrRedsFan]

Reds better win some games soon. The Cubs have already beaten the O's today and are creeping up on the Reds.

[50YrRedsFan]

Braves get two hits, but no runs in the 1st.

[50YrRedsFan]

Reds down in order in the 1st.

[Tom Servo]

Ugh. That was your ball, Ludwick.

[Tom Servo]

So after Ludwick lets a fly ball drop, they intentionally walk the 8 hitter to face the pitcher and now he walks after Latos gets squeezed. But other than that, things are going great.

[50YrRedsFan]

Reds having a bit of trouble keeping their minds on the game.

[Red Rover]

Looks like that ball was dropped on purpose. Both Ludwick & Hamilton had smirks, like don't call out our defense.

[Tom Servo]

Latos narrowly escapes the disaster.

[reds1869]

Looks like that ball was dropped on purpose. Both Ludwick & Hamilton had smirks, like don't call out our defense.

I don't buy that for a second.

[50YrRedsFan]

Latos at 44 pitches after 2 innings.......

[Gallen5862]

It thundering here in the distance,

[50YrRedsFan]

Reds with 6 up and 6 down after 2.

[Gallen5862]

It's been over a hundred degrees here last couple days. It's raining and thundering in distance will try to stay online as long as I can.

[50YrRedsFan]

Latos not fooling anyone. 5 hits and 2 walks in 2+ innings

Now 6 hits

[Tom Servo]

Latos not fooling anyone. 5 hits and 2 walks in 2+ innings
Well, one walk was intentional and one of those hits was an easy fly ball that should have been caught.

1-0 Braves.

[Red Raindog]

The Reds are getting manhandled by Minor ---- sigh

[hebroncougar]

I know Morgan has got kind of a bumbling reputation as an announcer, but I could listen to him all day.

[LeDoux]

The Reds need a change. Grow beards, shave their heads, install vampire teeth. Something.

[Tom Servo]

Reds without a hit through 5 innings.

[KronoRed]

Getting no hit would be a fantastic addition to this season.

[BCubb2003]

I don't suppose they still have Kangaroo Courts. Agents and collective bargaining probably killed them.

[Tom Servo]

BP with one of his patented over the shoulder catches on a Heyward bloop to end the inning instead of add to Atlanta's lead.

6 innings of 1 run ball from Latos. Too bad we're getting no hit.

[RedsBrick]

...on the other hand, the Braves with NINE hits and only 1 run? Ouch.

[BCubb2003]

...on the other hand, the Braves with NINE hits and only 1 run? Ouch.

OBP-heavy.

[Norm Chortleton]

I know many younger fans hate Joe Morgan the broadcaster and Joe Morgan the not-so-SABR-friendly guy, but I could listen to this guy 24 hours a day. Used to love the guy on ESPN broadcasts.

[BCubb2003]

I know many younger fans hate Joe Morgan the broadcaster and Joe Morgan the not-so-SABR-friendly guy, but I could listen to this guy 24 hours a day. Used to love the guy on ESPN broadcasts.

Yes, and I like the way he says vee-hiccles in the radio ads.

[Tom Servo]

No hits for the Reds after 6.

[KronoRed]

Monorail episode of the Simpsons is on.

[Kc61]

Reds bats really asleep.

No runs in this series through fifteen innings, no hits tonight. Only scored in the ninth Wednesday, after eight scoreless for them.

Lot of zeroes.

[Tom Servo]

Monorail episode of the Simpsons is on.
I call the big one 'Bitey'.

[jojo]

Some jackbutt started a thread about the no hitter. It's probably ruined now.

[LeDoux]

Nice inning turned in from Diaz.

[KronoRed]

Some jackbutt started a thread about the no hitter. It's probably ruined now.

Only works if it's a braves fan, someone call Raisor.

[Ironman92]

***Clearing my throat***

Just one of those days. Reds are fortunate no only be down 1-0 but just unfortunate to be facing a guy that is clearly going to finish off this no-hitter. Reds will need multiple errors by the Braves to score because the no-hitter is imminent and I'm quite confident in saying there is no way in hell they get a hit.....so sit back and enjoy the no no.

[BCubb2003]

At least they aren't going to blow a big lead tonight.

[Big Klu]

Win or lose, the Joe Morgan episode of the Reds broadcast tonight has been one of the most entertaining and enjoyable of the season. He is welcome in the booth anytime!

[Tony Cloninger]

A guy with a 5+ ERA..... of course he is pitching a no hitter. Ken Holtzman. Rick Wise. Blake Minor. At least the 1st two I could understand.

[Ironman92]

Late to the show but was Luddy playing Rock, Papers, Scissors with Billy when Upton tripled? It took him over 7 seconds to get to the ball hit down the line????

[Tony Cloninger]

Excuse me. Mike Minor. His name is Mike Minor.

[Roy Tucker]

Just when I thought it couldn't get much worse.

[Norm Chortleton]

Win or lose, the Joe Morgan episode of the Reds broadcast tonight has been one of the most entertaining and enjoyable of the season. He is welcome in the booth anytime!

Too bad they made him stay longer than he wanted. May hinder his wanting to come back.

[Tom Servo]

Reds without a hit through 7 innings.

[Ironman92]

Told you this guy is going to finish this off. You knuckleheads keep thinking a Reds player is going to get a hit....get with the program and just admit you're wrong.

[Roy Tucker]

I'm wrong. The Reds will go hitless for the rest of the season. They suck.

[RedsBrick]

5 - 8, 4.85 ERA and a WHIP of 1.47. That wreaks of no-hit material...

[Roy Tucker]

5 - 8, 4.85 ERA and a WHIP of 1.47. That wreaks of no-hit material...

Maybe the Reds ought to try Holmberg again. He might pitch a no hitter too. Really. Honest.

And pigs might fly out of my butt.

[Redsfansince72]

did i hear correct earlier as i just caught part of it? Joe Morgan said he asked Votto if any player has come to him for hitting advice and he said "none"?? To bad Joe couldnt be the hitting coach, but it seems he sees what we see with Bruce pulling off the ball so much, but he said something to the fact its execution.. looking fastball first then adjust to the breaking ball or curve.. Why dont these players use this same advice??

[Larkin Fan]

Heisey will get the Reds in the hit column.

[Red Raindog]

When the Reds have had this group lose interest to the point of 55 posts -- wow

[Ironman92]

Heisey is the type to break this up....he is kinda due.

[toledodan]

Bunt

[RedsBrick]

Maybe the Reds ought to try Holmberg again. He might pitch a no hitter too. Really. Honest.

And pigs might fly out of my butt.

Maybe in an intra-squad game...

[Roy Tucker]

Hope to see Heisey the PH.

[Ironman92]

Heisey will get the Reds in the hit column.

Obviously

[Ironman92]

Bunt

Maybe....he's due to catch one

[Ironman92]

Enjoying hearing Skip root on his team lol.

[LeDoux]

So who pitches the 9th? LeCure? Corcino?

[Reds Fanatic]

Close play at 1st but Heisey is out

[Ironman92]

Sad....but closest thing to a hit lol

We are a 4 hopper thru the middle from a tie

[KronoRed]

4 to go.

[Tom Servo]

So who pitches the 9th? LeCure? Corcino?
Schumaker

[Larkin Fan]

Sigh.

[Ironman92]

So who pitches the 9th? LeCure? Corcino?

Watch us tie it then give up 5

[Roy Tucker]

Billy will do it

[Larkin Fan]

Billy is da man.

[Tom Servo]

Billy! Base hit! Tie game!

[Reds Fanatic]

A hit and a tie game

[toledodan]

Billy clutch

[Ironman92]

Whew....took some extra effort on my reversie

[Tom Servo]

Braves announcers complimenting the class of the Reds fans. Sorry, I still hate you guys.

[Ironman92]

Classy in Cincy!

[Larkin Fan]

Braves announcers complimenting the class of the Reds fans. Sorry, I still hate you guys.

We hate you too, buddy. ;)

[Roy Tucker]

Trouble is now, we're into a good Braves bullpen now. But, I'll take my chances.

[RedsBrick]

I can only conjure up Judge Smails: "Oh Billy, Billy, Billy, Billy..."

[George Foster]

Billy clutch
glad we got a hit but not to optimistic.

Is Chapman available?

[Roy Tucker]

Weird motion by Walden.

[757690]

Braves announcers complimenting the class of the Reds fans. Sorry, I still hate you guys.

So this game is being played in St. Louis? I thought only Cardinal fans were classy enough to cheer for opposing players.

[Tom Servo]

I hate Chris Johnson.

[Roy Tucker]

Out by about 3 inches.

[Larkin Fan]

Chappy's shoulder is feelin' gooooooood tonight.

[Tony Cloninger]

The 3B Johson looked like a fat bear out there.....yet somehow managed to throw Frazier out.... of course.

I have a hard time believing that no hitter has come up to Joey and asked him for some tips. I think he is being coy.

[Roy Tucker]

When Chapman has his slider working, he is extremely tough.

[Ironman92]

This has the makings to be THE turnaround time.

Let's do this. We've lost enough games in August....Here we come!

[LeDoux]

Free baseball!

[757690]

If only Hoover hadn't been sent down. Perfect opportunity for him to close in on Garber's record.

[Ironman92]

Chappy still in....I like it. We trying to freaking win. May not work but Price has done a great job managing tonight.

[LeDoux]

Wow. Chapman out for another. Price must really want to snap the losing streak.

[Roy Tucker]

Price is going for the W.

[757690]

Price is going for the W.

So a new approach?

[Ironman92]

Someone barking at Chapman...guessing Chris Johnson

[Ironman92]

Did no one else catch the cussing at Chapman? C'mon people.

[malcontent]

So a new approach?
Seems like it.

[Red Raindog]

Did no one else catch the cussing at Chapman? C'mon people.

I just almost always mute the tube rather than hear Thom --

[Red Raindog]

So a new approach?

start stretching him out for next year!

[Roy Tucker]

So a new approach?

A novel concept.

[Roy Tucker]

Was Gosselin on Jon and Kate plus 8?

[Strikes Out Looking]

Price is going for the W.

Probably need a refresher on what to do with that piece of wood held up on the shoulder when the pitch comes.

[Larkin Fan]

Who pitches the 11th?

[Ironman92]

Who pitches the 11th?

No one.

[Larkin Fan]

No one.

That's what we hope. But realistically... ;)

[Redsfansince72]

i like Negron at the plate... much better than Cozart :)

[Roy Tucker]

I think Negron said sorry to the ump for starting to first.

[Redsfansince72]

dang i thought that was gone!!

[Magdal]

Well struck. Come on Cozart!

[Redsfansince72]

if Cozart had Negrons approach at the plate he would be WAY better a hitter

[Larkin Fan]

if Cozart had Negrons approach at the plate he would be WAY better a hitter

Nah, it's far better to watch a pitch come all the way in at shoulder level and then swing at it.

[Redsfansince72]

well at least Hoover isnt here to loose it..:)

[Roy Tucker]

So, is there really a big market for beef jerky?

[Billy_Bearcat]

The bad news is they only have one hit thru 10. The good news is they have a hit!!!

[Redsfansince72]

Nah, it's far better to watch a pitch come all the way in at shoulder level and then swing at it.

oh and drop the back shoulder=popup

[Larkin Fan]

Oh good lord. Lecure?

[757690]

And into the soft underbelly of the Reds bullpen.

[Magdal]

Oh good lord. Lecure?He looks pretty good.

[Roy Tucker]

Sam throws junk. Little wrinkly pitches and an 89 mph fastball.

[Larkin Fan]

That was a gift out by Laird. Wow.

- - - Updated - - -


He looks pretty good.

He will this inning. But next inning? Look out.

[Magdal]

Domit is immense!

[Roy Tucker]

Sam wanted nothing to do with Doumit.

[Larkin Fan]

I'm liking Price with the quick hook.

[Magdal]

That was a gift out by Laird. Wow.

- - - Updated - - -



He will this inning. But next inning? Look out.Looks like we won't find out.

[LeDoux]

Except Simon, I think we have seen all the pitchers likely to be a part of the 2015 bullpen. I have my doubts that anyone else currently on the roster will make it.

[Roy Tucker]

Interesting. Cozart out on the double switch and Negron to SS. Can't say I don't like it.

[LeDoux]

I'm liking Price with the quick hook.

For sure. But the chamber is empty now.

[Redsfansince72]

wow he took mr pop up out..well it worked so far.. lets see them finaly find a another hit or two in a bat in that dugout

[757690]

Interesting. Cozart out on the double switch and Negron to SS. Can't say I don't like it.

Thom is confused by it. But then again, Thom is confused by the slurpee machine at 7-11.

[Ironman92]

Here's maybe the most impressive oppo of the seasons.....just a quick glimpse before the Reds follow suit.

http://m.mlb.com/video/v35575389/pitmil-mccutchen-blasts-solo-homer-in-the-5th?partnerId=as_mlb_20140823_30335856

[Roy Tucker]

Thom is confused by it. But then again, Thom is confused by the slurpee machine at 7-11.

I had to ask my kids how to work the Coke Freestyle at Wendy's.

[Ironman92]

So close

[Tadasimha]

Thought Pena had walked it off there!

[Ironman92]

STEAL!!!! Now

[Magdal]

Woo hoo! Another hit for the kid!

[Larkin Fan]

Billy is the only guy that can hit.

[Magdal]

The Braves' announcers are cracking me up!

[Ironman92]

Phillips will win it. Momentum amuck

[Redsfansince72]

Billy is showing why he deserves ROY

[Tom Servo]

DatDude either ends it here or grounds into a BP. I don't see any in between.

[PepperJack]

http://i.minus.com/ivIgQUo4CIuUr.gif

[Tom Servo]

DatDude either ends it here or grounds into a BP. I don't see any in between.
The in between always gets ya.

[Magdal]

DatDude either ends it here or grounds into a BP. I don't see any in between.OH! You were in between.

[Larkin Fan]

If only Billy had been on third...

[Magdal]

Steal home Kid! What the hell?

[Tadasimha]

base hit, devin - doesn't need to go over the fence to win the game

particularly with Billy now on 3rd!

[Ironman92]

Skip near the mic on the far end of the dugout cheering em on...love it!

[Tadasimha]

drat dang darn

[Redsfansince72]

sure shows this team can not get a 2 out hit.. i wonder what their average is in this situation all year

[Magdal]

base hit, devin - doesn't need to go over the fence to win the game

particularly with Billy now on 3rd!He rolled over on it.

[Roy Tucker]

Poo.

Seems like Friday fireworks games always go long.

[Red Raindog]

sure shows this team can not get a 2 out hit.. i wonder what their average is in this situation all year

feels like .000

[Roy Tucker]

feels like .000

-.200

[Roy Tucker]

Moving my youngest in at OSU tomorrow for her senior year.

Where has the time gone?

[Red Raindog]

Moving my youngest in at OSU tomorrow for her senior year.

Where has the time gone?

with the money?

[Redsfansince72]

this isnt shocking about the reds with 2 out this season with men in scoring position they are batting .214 what shocks me look at the teams below them?? i would never guess the Giants Dodgers/Mariners and Nationals are below them.. That just doesnt make sense...

Move my oldest into Marshall tomorrow....her sophomore year

[Roy Tucker]

with the money?

Been making tuition payments for 8 years.

Last tuition payment in December and last house payment in January. I won't know what to do with all the money.

[Tom Servo]

Whoops.


Well, at least we didn't get no hit.

[Ironman92]

That.
Was.
Far.

[Redsfansince72]

goodness.. the Reds sure showing they are not good enough and might be swept by the Cubs next..!!!!

[Chuckie]

That 2015 draft pick(s) just keeps looking better my friends.

[PepperJack]

Man this bullpen right now.

It's like 2007 bad right now.

[Magdal]

This is bad, but there is a chance (as long as the Braves don't score more)

[LeDoux]

Parra vs. Upton was not a good matchup, but what are you going to do?

[Ironman92]

Man this bullpen right now.

It's like 2007 bad right now.

6 innings and 2 runs? Pretty darn good tonight.

[Red Raindog]

Been making tuition payments for 8 years.

Last tuition payment in December and last house payment in January. I won't know what to do with all the money.

Send it to me -- I'll invest it for you -- write the checks to me -- Ken Lay at Enron

[Redsfansince72]

That 2015 draft pick(s) just keeps looking better my friends.st do not trust Walt with any pick.. we need offense badly!!!!

[Roy Tucker]

Parra vs. Upton was not a good matchup, but what are you going to do?

Bring in Holmberg? Call up Hoover?

[KronoRed]

Been making tuition payments for 8 years.

Last tuition payment in December and last house payment in January. I won't know what to do with all the money.

Invest in plastics.

[PepperJack]

6 innings and 2 runs? Pretty darn good tonight.


Tonight, up until that point, yes.

The last calendar week or so, not really.

[RedsBrick]

The dumpster fire continues to blaze in all its glory.

[Redsfansince72]

we have a 2014 pitching staff and a 1982 Offense.. NOT GOOD!!!

[LeDoux]

Bring in Holmberg? Call up Hoover?

Someone mentioned Skip on the mound. Probably the right call. How can you go wrong with pure grit on the mound in extras?

[Redsfansince72]

i am actually tired of hearing Price say "they played hard blah blah blah" statements

[Magdal]

Someone mentioned Skip on the mound. Probably the right call. How can you go wrong with pure grit on the mound in extras?Amen to that. ;)

[Redsfansince72]

what blows me away? we have a hitters park and our own hitters mostly cant hit here.. whats up with that??

[Billy_Bearcat]

What's the Reds record in extras?

[Roy Tucker]

Nightlinechat.com? They can put ads like that on tv?

[Magdal]

what blows me away? we have a hitters park and our own hitters mostly cant hit here.. whats up with that??Nobody could answer that question.

[WVPacman]

Smart move Price letting a left hander pitch to upton!!:laugh:

[Redsfansince72]

i bet Dusty is laughing his butt off

[LeDoux]

If Luddy and Hamilton swapped jerseys, do you think the Braves would notice?

[Tom Servo]

Smart move Price letting a left hander pitch to upton!!:laugh:
Funny thing is a few days ago posters here were lamenting that Price didn't keep Parra in to face a big righty bat.


Damned if you do...

[Redsfansince72]

Bruce is getting worse and worse.. like he is guessing at everything..

[LeDoux]

what blows me away? we have a hitters park and our own hitters mostly cant hit here.. whats up with that??

El nino.

[Red Raindog]

i bet Dusty is laughing his butt off

I doubt he could have helped Bruce this yeah though

[50YrRedsFan]

Bruce swings at a 57 foot breaking ball. He might as well close his eyes.

[Redsfansince72]

El nino.

LOL thats a good one

[Red Raindog]

Bruce swings at a 57 foot breaking ball. He might as well close his eyes.

what makes you think he had them open?

[Redsfansince72]

maybe if they loose 30 in a row? Bob and Walt will stop pretending this can get turned around???? GRRR

[WVPacman]

Funny thing is a few days ago posters here were lamenting that Price didn't keep Parra in to face a big righty bat.


Damned if you do...

lol im glad i was'nt the one who wrote it or seen it lol. Any smart manager would know you can't leave a lefty like Parra on the mound to face a power hitter like upton.

[Ironman92]

i bet Dusty is laughing his butt off

To me this is the most perfect game Price has managed all season.

[Magdal]

In Skippy we trust?

[KronoRed]

What's the Reds record in extras?

3-9 if they lose this one.

[Redsfansince72]

i really love Negrons plate approach.. Wish the rest of this team besides Billy had it

[LeDoux]

lol im glad i was'nt the one who wrote it or seen it lol. Any smart manager would know you can't leave a lefty like Parra on the mound to face a power hitter like upton.

With who was left in the pen.... it was a crap-shoot.

[Roy Tucker]

maybe if they loose 30 in a row? Bob and Walt will stop pretending this can get turned around???? GRRR

Easy does it.

- - - Updated - - -

Schu will homer.

[Ironman92]

Rooting for Skip....he's been cheering on his teammates all night. Go Skip

[Ironman92]

With who was left in the pen.... it was a crap-shoot.

Parra threw an unacceptable pitch. Keeps it down and walk him if he doesn't chase.

[Magdal]

Rooting for Skip....he's been cheering on his teammates all night. Go Skipsigh

[Redsfansince72]

lousy pitch to swing at, goodness

[Ironman92]

maybe if they loose 30 in a row? Bob and Walt will stop pretending this can get turned around???? GRRR

Loose

[Tom Servo]

The beatings will continue until morale improves.

[50YrRedsFan]

And the streak goes on.................

[Red Raindog]

Easy does it.

- - - Updated - - -

Schu will homer.

Thought that was Bruce sneaking in the box again with that K in the dirt

[Ironman92]

Reds haven't won since the water main break

[malcontent]

Funny thing is a few days ago posters here were lamenting that Price didn't keep Parra in to face a big righty bat.


Damned if you do...
Probably because Parra forgot what a RHH looked like.

[Red Raindog]

The beatings will continue until morale improves.

I have a shirt with that on it -- might break it out the game on Saturday

[WVPacman]

With who was left in the pen.... it was a crap-shoot.

It does'nt matter who is in the pen.. you can't let a left handed pitcher like parra pitch to upton. I said when i seen he was staying in there to pitch that this is going to be bad and it was.

[Redsfansince72]

time to hire George Foster as hitting coach.. maybe he can show this team his World Series Rings and tell them.."You dont prepare and adjust you never will see one of these"..

[Roy Tucker]

The vortex deepens.

[LeDoux]

Parra threw an unacceptable pitch. Keeps it down and walk him if he doesn't chase.

If the Red's bullpen formed a band, they should call it "The Unacceptable Pitch."

[Red Raindog]

The vortex deepens.

Cubs closer to Reds than Reds are to Pitt

[Red Raindog]

If the Red's bullpen formed a band, they should call it "The Unacceptable Pitch."

not the "High and Deep and Good-Bye Pitch"?

[LeDoux]

It does'nt matter who is in the pen.. you can't let a left handed pitcher like parra pitch to upton. I said when i seen he was staying in there to pitch that this is going to be bad and it was.

I guess I would be no more comfortable with Ondrusek, etc. coming in. LHP vs. RHH is bad. So is reanimated corpse vs. RHH.

[Redsfansince72]

Cubs only 5 games back.. bet they can make that up more easier than the Reds trying to win 2 in a row!!

[WVPacman]

I guess I would be no more comfortable with Ondrusek, etc. coming in. LHP vs. RHH is bad. So is reanimated corpse vs. RHH.

When it rains it pours

[Roy Tucker]

Wow. Reds bullpen is 0-11 since the AS break.

Ouch.

[Mutaman]

I guess I would be no more comfortable with Ondrusek, etc. coming in. LHP vs. RHH is bad. So is reanimated corpse vs. RHH.

Logan pitched 2 innings yesterday.

[Mutaman]

Wow. Reds bullpen is 0-11 since the AS break.

Ouch.

I bet there are some other really ugly post AS break stats. I'm afraid to look.

[CrackerJack]

Wow. Reds bullpen is 0-11 since the AS break.

Ouch.

Yeah the fact they scored 1 run in 12 innings...meh

[villain612]

time to hire George Foster as hitting coach.. maybe he can show this team his World Series Rings and tell them.."You dont prepare and adjust you never will see one of these"..

Do we get the same roster as the 75-76 teams after the showing of the ring?
