6/9/2015 Phillies at Reds

[cumberlandreds]

We have a Boesch Siting. Good enough to hit 8th too! Hamilton gets the day off and DeJesus earns another start.

[Raisor]

I expect nothing but praise for Price from the usual suspects for starting Boesch

Hey OPS+'s of 1 don't grow on trees.

I'm glad to see DeJesus get run out there again after his big night last night.

[757690]

I expect nothing but praise for Price from the usual suspects for starting Boesch

Now that I know that Boesch was injured, I understand why he wasn't starting.

[Tracy Jones]

I expect nothing but praise for Price from the usual suspects for starting Boesch

There are 3 or 4 posters here who do nothing but show up at the end of games the Reds are losing to bash Price. You know who they are.

With that being said...Boesch?

[757690]

Now that I know that Boesch was injured, I understand why he wasn't starting.

For the record, I come to the game threads early, just to bash Price as well :p

[Tracy Jones]

For the record, I come to the game threads early, just to bash Price as well :p

Yeah, but you contribute other things all throughout. The one's I was talking about contribute literally nothing else.

[reds1869]

Disco is probably more likely to get on base than Boesch, hence Price hitting him 9th. :D

[Kc61]

With Hamilton out, Boesch becomes necessary.

Which is undoubtedly Price's fault, LOL. He should have anticipated this and given Brayan Pena some reps in CF.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Now that I know that Boesch was injured, I understand why he wasn't starting.

I do too. And it wasn't that he was injured. :)

Hang on. The way you phrased that "with Hamilton out"...he's not hurt is he?

[reds1869]

Hang on. The way you phrased that "with Hamilton out"...he's not hurt is he?

Yes, he banged up his hand and wrist last night.

[klw]

C. Trent Rosecrans ‏@ctrent 3h3 hours ago

#Reds Billy Hamilton 'banged up' a little, Price says. Wrist/hand issue

[_Sir_Charles_]

Crud. I'm assuming day-to-day for Billy?

[Big Klu]

Why did they not challenge that? He was clearly out!

[Banshee]

Really enjoy watching Disco and Lorenzen pitching, both seem unflappable despite their rookie warts.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Herrera singled off Cozy's glove. Stole 2nd. But otherwise clean inning for DeSclafani.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Why did they not challenge that? He was clearly out!

Brantley said the throw beat him, but a good slide by Herrera got his fingers in there.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Brandon on an 8 game hitting streak (longest of the season by a Red)

Lead off BB for BP

[Tom Servo]

I always forget that Harang was on the 2010 Reds, seems totally out of place in retrospect.

[_Sir_Charles_]

"So, when do I get to catch Chapman." ~ Tweet from Tyler Stephenson (our 1st round pick: HS catcher) yesterday. :O)

[Tom Servo]

Reds clogging up the bases.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Back to back BB's. 2 on, no outs for Toddfather

[Tom Servo]

Frazier smokes one to RF but it's caught, BP advances to third and is a little shaken up.

Also someone should ask Thom who "Revair" is.

[JaxRed]

I think he was clearly safe

[Stray]

That was an awful slide. Hope he's alright.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Dinner just arrived. PBP break for me. ;)

[Banshee]

Bruuce double, 2nd/3rd one down, 1-zippy redlegs!

[Tom Servo]

Bruuuuuuuuce.

Bruce 2B scores BP, send Votto to 3rd.

1-0 Redlegs

[_Sir_Charles_]

:jump: COZY!!!!

[Red Raindog]

Votto is not the best base runner in the league

[Banshee]

Zart' 3 run HR, 4-0 redlegs!

[Tom Servo]

Cozart!!!!!!! :jump:

4-0 Redlegs!

[Big Klu]

Zack Attack!

Cozart!

Looking forward (hoping, of course) to seeing DeJesus forget we lost Byrd for the season.

[_Sir_Charles_]

I like seeing the Reds do well...but I must admit, I don't like seeing Harang getting tattooed.

[Banshee]

Jamie Ramsey ‏@Jamieblog 2m2 minutes ago
Cozart is now tied with Flores (NYM) and Peralta (StL) for most home runs this season by a NL SS (9)

Pretty awesome bounce back yr. from the disaster that was 2014 for Zach. He can see those arb. numbers going to the sky.

[757690]

Even on the strike out, DeJesus looked better than Dominquez or Negron ever did. Why the Reds choose those two over him out of spring training, I'll never understand.

[757690]

"Franco keeps on whacking it." Thom with another Tobias Funke-seque quote.

[Tom Servo]

I liked Mackanin alright, but the lovefest he has received since 2007 always baffled me. That team's improved performance was a dead-cat bounce, pure and simple.

[_Sir_Charles_]

KK

[JaxRed]

I liked Mackanin alright, but the lovefest he has received since 2007 always baffled me. That team's improve performance was a dead-cat bounce, pure and simple.

He also did the same thing with Pittsburgh. In both cases he was significantly better then the guy he replaced.

[Chip R]

I liked Mackanin alright, but the lovefest he has received since 2007 always baffled me. That team's improved performance was a dead-cat bounce, pure and simple.

I agree but he probably wouldn't do any worse than some others currently managing.

[Tom Servo]

Please don't give up base hits to Aaron Harang.

[Slippin'Jimmy]

base hits to opposing pitchers haunt

[Big Klu]

"Franco keeps on whacking it." Thom with another Tobias Funke-seque quote.

Chris: "Thom, who's your favorite Little Rascal? Is it Alfalfa, or is it Spanky?"

[BCubb2003]

They horrify.

[Tom Servo]

I agree but he probably wouldn't do any worse than some others currently managing.
No argument there.


He also did the same thing with Pittsburgh. In both cases he was significantly better then the guy he replaced.
His Pittsburgh stint was only a month's worth of games and a 12-14 record, really nothing to gleam from it. The Reds 41-39 indicated a solid performance, but I just never got the idea of "Ooooo 2 games over .500, gotta keep this guy around for good". I did feel as though he had earned himself a look somewhere and was surprised he never got one, but I don't blame the Reds at all for finally putting an end to the Miley-Narron-Mackanin interim carousel and hiring Dusty.

Plus he unleashed the 'Phillips batting cleanup, Dunn bats 5th' monster on us.

[Big Klu]

I wonder if the fan who's picked to help deliver the lineup card ever slips in one of his own.

[Roy Tucker]

Greetings from a GABP box. We're behind a screen.

[JaxRed]

Harang was pitching Votto outside first time up. Can't believe people still do that. He's likely to slice a double or better to left side if they keep that up.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Greetings from a GABP box. We're behind a screen.

Should I give you the play by play seeing as how you clearly can't see the game with that blocking impediment. :p

[Roy Tucker]

BP is out.

[_Sir_Charles_]

BP hurt again :/

I'm assuming on that horrible slide into third.

[Banshee]

Snakebitten. At least we get to see SKIPPY! Hope BP isn't hurt bad, horrible slide or toe..?

[JaxRed]

Looks like groin pull to me.

[Big Klu]

Skip replaces DatDudeBP, playing LF.
Ivan Jr. moves from LF to 2B.

At least Skip isn't at 2B.

[Raisor]

Looks like groin pull to me.

Stop looking at BP's groin

[Tom Servo]

Disco not fooling them much tonight so far, hoping for a similar outcome as Leake last night.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Looks like groin pull to me.

This is a family board.

[JaxRed]

I'm nearly a professional. My brother is a doctor.

[Tom Servo]

To be fair, that is a good line by Marty.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Disco not fooling them much tonight so far, hoping for a similar outcome as Leake last night.

He's throwing strikes. That's all I'm concerned with. Trust his stuff and attack hitters. 40 pitches, only 10 balls.

[Tom Servo]

Yesiree!

[_Sir_Charles_]

Yessirree! 6-3 dp to end the inning.

[JaxRed]

Nice snag by Votto, that was a tough hop.

[Tom Servo]

Rocco is 1-1 with a BB and an outfield assist in Louisville now, btw.

[Raisor]

To be fair, that is a good line by Marty.


What did he say?

Activate him mid-game

[NebraskaRed]

Once again, Louisville hotels have let me down. No Reds on tv.

On the plus side, I get to see Mesoraco play Thursday (and possibly Friday).

[_Sir_Charles_]

8 game hitting streak comes to an end for Brandon.

:jump: VOTTO! Lack of XBH a concern? :O)

[Tom Servo]

Votto! :jump:

[Banshee]

Vottomatic HR! 5-1 reds. Lack of XBH's indeed!

[Chuckie]

Joey goes yard! Yessir!

[Tom Servo]

What did he say?

After Thom teased that they have a Reds draft pick who broke one of Chris Welsh's records in college, he came back and said that Marty's guess was "Most HRs allowed".

[JaxRed]

Harang was pitching Votto outside first time up. Can't believe people still do that. He's likely to slice a double or better to left side if they keep that up.

Shouldn't pitch Votto outside, that is where he does his damage.

[Tom Servo]

Frazier! :jump:

[Chuckie]

Flava Fraz HR!

Angry Canadian Murder Bot.

[Banshee]

Fraze-shuh HR! Can Harangatang pitch against the reds every series?

[Big Klu]

Rocco is 1-1 with a BB and an outfield assist in Louisville now, btw.

At the very least he will provide one of the strongest LF throwing arms in the league.

[Tom Servo]

Is Marty on tv? He's not on WLW.
Nah. I missed the setup, it might have been a text Marty sent to Thom with his guess.

[Raisor]

Back to back jack, Mack

[Tom Servo]

Those were some brutal strike 2 and 3 calls on Bruce, ump.

[Chuckie]

Who was the guy on here that said "Frazier hits a lot of GABP-aided HRs"? I mean, yes, he does get some skimmers. Everyone does. But the Toddfather has more than his fair share of no-doubters.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Jay got screwed on that one IMO. 2 of those strikes were balls.

And now he's tossed for arguing balls/strikes. :(

[Big Klu]

Jay just got tossed.

[Stray]

I don't know about you guys, but I bought mlb.tv premium to watch the umpshows.

[Chuckie]

Bruce channeling his inner Votto ... gets tossed.

;)

[Tom Servo]

So who plays RF? Guess Negron comes in for more shuffling. We're running out of players.

[_Sir_Charles_]

I assume this means Negron has to play. With Billy out, it leaves only Barnhart on the bench. Yikes.

[Raisor]

Jay just got tossed.

Like in prison?

[Big Klu]

They might have to.

[NebraskaRed]

I guess Negron will come on to the game. HAPPY NOW, JAY?

[Big Klu]

Do not pass GO. Do not collect $200.

[Banshee]

So who plays RF? Guess Negron comes in for more shuffling. We're running out of players.

Put in Lorenzen, former CF'er, better avg./arm/wheels/slugging, obp. etc, etc. than Negron.

[Larkin Fan]

It truly would be nice if teams could toss umps from the game.

[Big Klu]

I assume this means Negron has to play. With Billy out, it leaves only Barnhart on the bench. Yikes.

There's still Lorenzen and Leake. ;)

[Tom Servo]

I was hoping 'Stone Cold' Jay Bruce would make an appearance before retreating into the clubhouse

http://i.imgur.com/bYQmtTm.jpg

[PXShaman]

Is it just me or does a good chunk of the Reds lineup seam to be heating up? If not just ignore me, but frazier and Phillips are on career tears, and Votto is coming back around. I enjoy these Reds again.

[_Sir_Charles_]

There's still Lorenzen and Leake. ;)

That's actually possible tonight.

[Larkin Fan]

I'd rather listen to the Cincinnati USA lady!

[Kingspoint]

There is Billy who could play in a pinch.

I thought that his injury was bad enough that he can't run or hit?

That's good that he's getting better. We need him badly, (and need him getting on base).

Nope. If people are too thin-skinned to handle 3 K's in a row when it's CLEARLY referring to the game...they can bite me.

[ukredleg]

Ah, here's the usual meltdown from FSO where Thom completely stops talking about the game and goes off on all kinds of unrelated subjects. My favourite part of the broadcast.

[Chip R]

I thought that his injury was bad enough that he can't run or hit?

Who told you that, Dr. Chuckie?

[_Sir_Charles_]

1-2-3 go the Reds.

[Kingspoint]

Great first four innings for DeSclafani. Hope he can go three more and give up only one or two runs.

So there's an entire inning in which Thom and Chris said nary a word about any baseball action on or off the field. :thumbdown:

Didn't Hamilton play yesterday?

[_Sir_Charles_]

Yep. He's given up some hard hit balls, but he's POUNDING the zone. I love it. 55 pitches. 41 strikes, 14 balls. That's bringin' it.

Sliding into the ump's foot no less. The ump should've moved...but at the same time, SOMEBODY needs to tell Billy to start sliding feet first.

[Raisor]

I wouldn't know. Didn't watch.


He went 1-4 with a couple of stolen bases. He's out today with a minor hand thing.

[Tom Servo]

Great turn by De Jesus.
Keep him at 2B until BP is healthy.

Sliding into the ump's foot no less.

I thought that's what Thom was referring to with the whacking talk earlier.

That still would have been a HR.

Angry Canandian Murder Bot II

[Chuckie]

How is Thom saying this is "Too close to call"? Clearly a HR, whether the fan was there or not. Definitely over the wall. The fan didn't reach over.

[Slippin'Jimmy]

No, Thom that's not too close to tell. No way that ball was hitting the fence below the yellow line.

[Kingspoint]

If we were only fully healthy with Bailey and Mez (and now Hamilton and BP), they could try to pull off a New York Knight's type of comeback, with Votto playing the role of Hobbs ("I could have been the best there's ever been."...of course, the Knights didn't start playing better until "Bailey" went through the wall.)

[Chuckie]

HR, confirmed. 7-1.

To be fair to the ump, I don't think he realized what was going on until Billy was sliding home. He was telling Ruiz it was ball 4.

Didn't he only pitch a few games in 2007? Wasn't really counting it...though all the memories still remain.

Votto has definitely been "La Machine" this season.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Franco & Herrera. Really?

[50YrRedsFan]

Howard went from MVP caliber to really bad real fast.

[JaxRed]

Meanwhile one of my toes is cramping

Could be a groin pull......

[Kingspoint]

KKKKKKK

Who is the last Rookie REDS' pitcher to have 10+ K's in a game?

[_Sir_Charles_]

Howard went from MVP caliber to really bad real fast.

Personally I was surprised to see he's got 11 dingers this year.

[Tom Servo]

I do like that Disco's 'mistake' pitches so far have all just been sharply hit ground balls and not gopher balls.

[_Sir_Charles_]

2 hits and a punch out but no damage done. 7-1 Reds heading to the bottom of the 6th. 83 pitches for Anthony (58 for strikes) Harang at 99 btw.

[Raisor]

Votto has definitely been "La Machine" this season.


He's not Spanish!

Every time I see a Joe Pesci movie all I can think about is the Family Guy bit about "this is what passed for tough in the 90's." It's pretty much ruined every Pesci movie for me.

Coming this weekend...Groin Pull 2015!! Get your tickets now!!!

[Kingspoint]

I'm giving applause to DeSclafani now for his six innings of work. Everything else will be a bonus.

:clap:

If I had to guess, I'd say Cingrani

[50YrRedsFan]

He's not Spanish!

LeMachine...(French Canadian)?

[Kingspoint]

He's not Spanish!

"La Machine" is French (according to an English to French translator).

[Raisor]

Coming this weekend...Groin Pull 2015!! Get your tickets now!!!

I'm not going to that.

[Tom Servo]

It's weird that Harang is still in.

[Raisor]

"La Machine" is French (according to an English to French translator).

It's Chinese!

[Kingspoint]

If I had to guess, I'd say Cingrani

It was more of an I-don't-know kind of question. Thanks.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Zack flied out to center. Pena singles to center.

DeJesus with a single too (to left)

[Banshee]

Mez still bouncing the ball on his throws..:p

No hurry. Those theaters don't usually have a rush on tickets.

[Big Klu]

Thom, Mesoraco is a better athlete than Alonso.

[Raisor]

Rocco

[_Sir_Charles_]

I don't know either. That's a guess.

[50YrRedsFan]

Mesoraco didn't look real good on that catch attempt.

[Raisor]

Now my left foot is cramping

[Larkin Fan]

My guess for most HRs was Eric Milton, even while knowing he only pitched 2 years here.

That was pitching?

[Raisor]

No hurry. Those theaters don't usually have a rush on tickets.

Rush?

Tom Sawyer?

[Kingspoint]

Now my left foot is cramping

You'll have to paint with your right.

[Raisor]

That was pitching?

So you're a doctor, a lawyer, and a pitching coach?

[Larkin Fan]

Thom, Mesoraco is a better athlete than Alonso.

Now don't let facts get in the way of a good (bad) Thom Brenneman rant.

[Big Klu]

Every time I see a Joe Pesci movie all I can think about is the Family Guy bit about "this is what passed for tough in the 90's." It's pretty much ruined every Pesci movie for me.

And every time I see Family Guy I think, "This is what passed for funny in the 00's."

[Raisor]

You'll have to paint with your right.

I'm better looking than Daniel Day Lewis

[Larkin Fan]

Rush?

Tom Sawyer?

In the Spirit of Radio

[Big Klu]

So you're a doctor, a lawyer, and a pitching coach?

Pitching coach, Indian chief...what's the difference?

I'm a man of many talents.

[Raisor]

You should listen to him, he's pre-med

[50YrRedsFan]

And every time I see Family Guy I think, "This is what passed for funny in the 00's."

I liked "My Cousin Vinny"......and Marisa Tomei:D

[_Sir_Charles_]

So you're a doctor, a lawyer, and a pitching coach?

He's a TRIPLE THREAT!

[Raisor]

I'm a man of many talents.

Or you can't keep a job

Molina beating out Posey and Norris. Gross.
