According to this document that leaked, if the Reds lose a 10th game in a row, they'll all get a free sandwich!

The Reds are so bad this is the Free Game of the Day for MLBTV. :) Its also a Bark in the Park night. (Insert joke here.)

I'm guessing DatDude asks for extra mustard.

[Kilgore_Trout]

Meh. Hate seeing Cozart leading off. Not sure who else you put there with BP getting the day off, though.

[NebraskaRed]

Phillips is out after reaggravating his turf toe issue. And I noticed Iribarren is not in the Bats' lineup tonight. Coincidence?

[androosh]

At least we can't lose if we don't play?

[villain612]

At least we can't lose if we don't play?

Cueto's elbow is okay.

Reds already won today for me.

[westofyou]

At least we can't lose if we don't play?

Unsure, but you might want to ask Chuckie, he's pretty darn sure about everything else.

[Gallen5862]

The game is the free game on mlb.com.

[757690]

Reds going with three man bench today. Not that it matters.

[villain612]

I'm feeling a Joey Votto bomb at some point tonight.

No backup 1st baseman?

[villain612]

No backup 1st baseman?

We have a backup 1st baseman. They're just illegitimate.

[Gallen5862]

The stands look very empty tonight.

[Big Klu]

We have a backup 1st baseman. They're just illegitimate.

We picked up J.T. Snow?

[757690]

BABIP.

Plus, we get to see what a real 3B coach looks like.

[Chip R]

We picked up J.T. Snow?

Let the winning begin!

[Slippin'Jimmy]

Really...who cares if their parents were married.

[villain612]

Crap. When we come back from commercial, I wonder if Thom will talk about....

[Razor Shines]

I enjoy watching Jay hit doubles.

During a losing streak like this you just gotta point out the small parts of the game that you do enjoy.

[villain612]

There were more people at the Halloween party I threw at my house last year than are at the ballpark tonight.

[Big Klu]

We picked up J.T. Snow?


Let the winning begin!


Really...who cares if their parents were married.

Come on gang, it was a Game of Thrones joke.

(J.T.'s dad was Rams WR Jack Snow. I'm pretty sure J.T.'s folks were married.)

I'm picking up what you're putting down.

[Slippin'Jimmy]

Is it me or does it look like someone went through and corralled all 12 people sitting in the Diamond seats to the front 2 rows? I swear in the first inning you could only see about 3 people in the seats from the CF camera.

[westofyou]

Is anything more worthless than Marty's interview with Sheldon was?

What a waste

[Roy Tucker]

I've been away for a week or so. How have the Reds been doing?

[Larkin Fan]

Did anyone know that Jim Day and BP are close?

Only a half game behind the Rockies in the standings.

[Slippin'Jimmy]

I think I'm one 8 people that don't watch GOT. Though my joke about illegitimate back up first baseman was kind of stand alone anyway.

[villain612]

Byrd with penguin speed.

1-0 Reds.

[Stray]

Sharply hit single, well executed sacrifice bunt, and a two out rbi hit? What's going on here?

[757690]

Riggleman auditioning with strong 3B coaching skills.

[Roy Tucker]

A Grand Funk Railroad song for the U.S. Open ad?

How hip.

Well all you have to know is the name "Snow" is given to all bastards in the GOT universe. Enjoy. It was pretty brilliant.

[mbgrayson]

Hamilton further improves his RH hitting with that hit.

Hamilton's slash lines before today's game:
As RH batter (vs. lefties): 46 ABs, .261/.271/.478 for an OPS of .749
As LH batter (vs. righties): 110 Abs, .191/.250/.255 for an OPS of .505

My dog would prolly run on the field and chase a baseball. I don't think he'd be up to 3 hours of good behavior.

If he replaces Price he can still coach 3rd like they do in the minors.

Nice to see Joey field a grounder without falling down.

[Big Klu]

Well all you have to know is the name "Snow" is given to all bastards in the GOT universe. Enjoy. It was pretty brilliant.

Well, not all of them. Only those born in the Kingdom of the North, ruled by House Stark.

[Slippin'Jimmy]

If the Reds win this game my prediction of a 6th inning HR for Joseph tomorrow still stands.

[westofyou]

Details?

He opened with questions about Marks family having a barbecue, covered who came and if it was Byob, then covered Stephen Curry falling, Ripped the NHL talked about Phillip's toe, somehow ended up back on the subject of that BQ

It was epic in its nothingness to do with the game or the state of the Reds

It was almost as good as Grandpa Simpson story

[villain612]

Let's go Lightning.

[westofyou]

Let's go Lightning.

I'm leaning For 7 in the east and going Ducks in the west, after that I just want 7

Not exactly, just bastards from the North.

[Slippin'Jimmy]

Lorenzen has some decent ups

[malcontent]

Eh, they have Leake and Marquis to PH.

And anybody can win with a full roster.

[Razor Shines]

Well, not all of them. Only those born in the Kingdom of the North, ruled by House Stark.

Oh, really? After I praised you, you're gonna chastise me in front of all these people? Ok, ok.

[Big Klu]

Jon may or may not be Ned's son, natural or otherwise.

Not a spoiler, just a guess

Yeah, I didn't want to go there, but I think that's possible, too. It would be in character for Ned to claim him in order to protect his sister's honor.

I didn't want to throw the rookie in the deep end of the pool with too much information, though.

[Chip R]

Joseph with some poppin' and lockin' to get out of the way of that pitch

Very selfish of him not to get hit by that pitch.

I've watched every episode and I was vaguely aware of the different names but I couldn't name another one besides Snow. I told my wife I kinda thought they were all Snows and she said I should get checked for ADD. I don't appreciate any of this.

[RedTeamGo!]

When was the last time Votto hit a home run?

I know it's not everything, but it seems like he hit a bunch close to each other early in the season and he has been at 7 forever.

[ukredleg]

I just love hearing Taylor Swift as Jay Bruce's walk-up song

[RedTeamGo!]

Personally I think he's a Targaryan


This is certainly the most popular theory. I agree with it.

[Slippin'Jimmy]

I just love hearing Taylor Swift as Jay Bruce's walk-up song

I don't. Taylor Swift just makes me feel bad....about me.

[Roy Tucker]

Nice AB by Bruce but all for naught.

Frazier just hit one into the Ohio and Price punched the Home Plate ump, but no, not much.

Man..this team is boring to watch

[Larkin Fan]

A nice rainbow.

Wish I had seen that. That would have been a high point of this season.

[miamiredskin]

Why is it that every time a Red's starter turns in a good performance it turns into a pitcher's duel?

[RedlegJake]

Lorenzen, Iglesias, Disco - we may have to endure some shaky pitchin while they mature but the good games are a lot of fun to watch

[Tracy Jones]

Very encouraging outing

[Stray]

That same storm that's hitting Cincinnati is also raining on me in Tampa.

Because we can't score.

[Red Raindog]

Why is it that every time a Red's starter turns in a good performance it turns into a pitcher's duel?

umm -- because the Reds offense is suspect --- so it's either get blown out or lose a squeaker ---- well it feels that way to me tonight

[Stray]

Wow Frazier

[Tracy Jones]

Lorenzen, Iglesias, Disco - we may have to endure some shaky pitchin while they mature but the good games are a lot of fun to watch


In this low/no offense era, it shouldn't take these guys long to become solid, established pitchers if they have the ability.

[westofyou]

Man..this team is boring to watch

You sound like you've never listened to Marty interview Mark Sheldon

[Slippin'Jimmy]

My satellite is out. Am I missing anything?

If it's still out you just missed a GREAT play be Frazier/Votto...fo' realz.

[RedlegJake]

Tell me again why Frazier doesn't have gold glove?

[Roy Tucker]

Did I just see Price bat the pitcher bit then take him out again? What in the.....

No RH bats on the bench.

Who would you rather have hit? Boesch?

[Red Raindog]

Did I just see Price bat the pitcher bit then take him out again? What in the.....

short bench I guess

[Stray]

Did I just see Price bat the pitcher bit then take him out again? What in the.....

Lorenzen has as good of a chance to get a hit as our available bench guys at the moment.

[Tracy Jones]

Tell me again why Frazier doesn't have gold glove?

That throw to 1st yesterday

[westofyou]

In this low/no offense era, it shouldn't take these guys long to become solid, established pitchers if they have the ability.

Hit your spots, be consistent, there's a Gary Gentry everywhere in a no run era

[RedlegJake]

Did I just see Price bat the pitcher bit then take him out again? What in the.....

Because converted college OFer Lorenzen is a better hitter than anyone on the bench?

[Larkin Fan]

If it's still out you just missed a GREAT play be Frazier/Votto...fo' realz.

It came back about a minute before that. That was a great play on both sides!

[RedlegJake]

That throw to 1st yesterday

Yeah and no other 3rd baseman in the league ever does that, do they

[Larkin Fan]

I can think of a number of things Price does wrong, but letting a pitcher that can hit bat for himself before pulling him isn't one of them.

It's the majors. You can't make errors. Ever. ;)

[faffy42]

Can't say I have..I'm out west too, and no post or pre game stuff. Just mlb extra innings.

[Stray]

I can think of a number of things Price does wrong, but letting a pitcher that can hit bat for himself before pulling him isn't one of them.

If we had a halfway decent bench I'd hate it, even with a good hitting pitcher, but yeah with our bench it's a no brainer haha. Especially since we're always playing short.

[RedlegJake]

Jumbo will Jumbo

[KronoRed]

Tell me again why Frazier doesn't have gold glove?

It would weigh a ton and be hard to use.

[malcontent]

Votto with the 0.638 OPS for May (0.308 SLG).

Not exactly intimidating anyone these days.

Looks like he's lost 25 pounds.

And then he chokes up four inches.

[Tracy Jones]

Yeah and no other 3rd baseman in the league ever does that, do they

Nope. Nobody. Ever.

[Chip R]

Good play by Negron.

[CWRed]

I'm going to go with, "because Price is a damn idiot."

[Slippin'Jimmy]

Frazier.....great play in the field/game winning HR in the 8th. Calling it.

[Roy Tucker]

You sound like you've never listened to Marty interview Mark Sheldon

If the idea was to hold onto stars to attract fans, well, looks to me like time for Plan B.

[Kc61]

No way would Chapman succeed as a starter.

Can't consistently throw strikes.

His control has been off recently. Also he suffers when teams are patient.

Like that Tulo strike out. Chappy benefits from guys swinging at bad ones. They don't have time to wait and see the pitch.

[Slippin'Jimmy]

Either it's muggy in GABP or Chapman has started applying fire retardant gel before he comes in to games.

[miamiredskin]

Nice finish, Chappy!

[westofyou]

Either it's muggy in GABP or Chapman has started applying fire retardant gel before he comes in to games.

[Kc61]

Looked pretty good on those last two batters.

Chapman really has to stick to that fastball, with a slider thrown in very occasionally.

Let's try and win a ballgame already.

[Tracy Jones]

His control has been off recently. Also he suffers when teams are patient.

Like that Tulo strike out. Chappy benefits from guys swinging at bad ones. They don't have time to wait and see the pitch.

I think he'd be a disaster in the rotation. 100 pitches in 5 innings, then hit the showers.

He's an elite reliever. I'm happy with that. He's best just going in for 1-2 innings and firing bullets.

Chapman averages 17.9 pitchers per inning. Good for 49th among relievers in the NL.

WIth that said, the 48 in front of him. . . . . are not good.

For comparison sake, Craig Kimbrel is 81st with 16.5

Woohoo!

[villain612]

lol skip is the hero. The streak has ended.

Also, can someone wrap Cueto in bubblewrap when he's jumping around out there?

[Slippin'Jimmy]

When it says "FINAL" above the score and the number beside "REDS" is a bigger number than the number beside "ROCKIES".....what does that mean?

[NebraskaRed]

lol skip is the hero. The streak has ended.

Also, can someone wrap Cueto in bubblewrap when he's jumping around out there?

haha, I was thinking the same thing. "Stop lifting your arms so carelessly!"

[Roy Tucker]

Nice start by Lorenzen.

[Kc61]

Tomorrow there will be 10 columns written about Negron's bunt.

[miamiredskin]

"Our offense is good." = Skip Schumaker.

[Razor Shines]

I've long been the lone champion of Schumaker on this site. I've said he really needs to play more and tonight totally justifies extended playing time for Skip.

Skip may be finding a niche as a pinch-hitter.

[MilotheMayor]

So the fire sale is off?

[Banshee]

So the fire sale is off?

Nope. But it is awesome to see Lorenzen pitch so well, so let's leave him off the hit list. For now... Once he gives up 4+runs, off w/ his head/trade his behind!:evil:

Just to put this win into perspective:

The Reds scored one run against a guy who had a 6 ERA in AAA, and win it 2-1 with a Skip Schumaker soft bloop over 3B that just barely fell fair. Hooray?

Just to put this win into perspective:

The Reds scored one run against a guy who had a 6 ERA in AAA, and win it 2-1 with a Skip Schumaker soft bloop over 3B their just barely fell fair. Hooray?

A mark was made on the left side of the tally board under the W column, so yeah, hooray!
