Might as well let Boesch go if he can't start one game in LF after Byrd gets injured.

[villain612]

Johnny Biesbol on the mound. Get me a birthday win, AAAReds!

[cumberlandreds]

Johnny Biesbol on the mound. Get me a birthday win, AAAReds!

Happy Birthday!!!

[cumberlandreds]

Fay tweeted that Phillips was available for pinch hitting today. He said he was gingerly (Mary Anne if you prefer) taking ground balls earlier today. So we may see him back in the lineup soon.

[klw]

John Fay ‏@johnfayman 19m19 minutes ago

Price said Phillips was fine taking batting practice. “Gingerly” took ground balls. He’s available today, probably pinch-hit. #reds

[villain612]

Happy Birthday!!!

Thank you!

Only 1/3 of Raisor's age now.

[cumberlandreds]

Cubby Bears lineup:

I see we have dueling eight place hitting pitchers today.


1. Dexter Fowler (S) CF

[Raisor]

Thank you!

Only 1/3 of Raisor's age now.


Damn, you're old.

[Raisor]

The Reds are on the radio

[villain612]

Cubs gonna Cub.

Haven't been able to say that in a while.

[Tom Servo]

Scrappy way for Schumaker to get on - a fielder's error

[ScotlandRed]

Scottish TV showing this one so settling down to watch is this evening. De DeJesus ripped that!!

[Raisor]

Ivan. De. Jesus. Junior.

[Tom Servo]

Ivan freakin De Jesus Jr! Run scoring double!

[villain612]

Really hoping this isn't a small sample size special from De Jesus.

[ScotlandRed]

Joey angry he missed that one.

[Tom Servo]

Guy in Reds hat behind home plate was texting while Votto was batting. That's a paddlin'.

- - - Updated - - -


Really hoping this isn't a small sample size special from De Jesus.
Unlike Negron he has actually been a good hitter throughout his minor league career. I don't expect him to keep hitting like this obviously but it is possible all he needed was an opportunity.

[villain612]

Guy in Reds hat behind home plate was texting while Votto was batting. That's a paddlin'.



Maybe he was posting on redszone.

[villain612]

Our Todd is an awesome Todd!

[Tom Servo]

Frazier with a run scoring double!

2-0 Redlegs

[Tom Servo]

ooo those runnin Reds Frazier swipes 3rd

[Tadasimha]

Guy in Reds hat behind home plate was texting while Votto was batting. That's a paddlin'.



Maybe he was posting on redszone.

It would not shock me if it's Servo - he'd be willing to threaten himself with corporal punishment as a cover story!

[Raisor]

I've noticed this year that Marty has been getting confused with names a lot.

[Chuckie]

3-0! Pena!

[villain612]

Brayan Pena for President.

[Rantly]

I've noticed this year that Marty has been getting confused with names a lot.

If he is calling Pena Price and visaversa, he's been doing that all year and last

[villain612]

The offense shows up for Johnny!

(saw this on Red Reporter)

[Tom Servo]

Kris Bryant is good.

[ScotlandRed]

Kris Bryant is good.

True, but that was a bad pitch, lucky it ended up a single.

[Raisor]

If he is calling Pena Price and visaversa, he's been doing that all year and last

Not just them

[miamiredskin]

I'm watching "live" for a change. Prepare yourselves, because I may post to this thread.

[miamiredskin]

We waited all this time to watch Billy pop-up? Seriously?

[Big Klu]

Maddon is wearing sunglasses?

He's just too cool for school.

[villain612]

Wow. Great play.

[ScotlandRed]

Schumaker probably did have a really big jump. He is just slow as hell.

[kaldaniels]

Not just them

I believe Welsh called Starlin "Juan Castro" last night.

[Tom Servo]

Damn, I thought Votto got more of that.

[villain612]

Damn. Thought Joey parked that one.

[miamiredskin]

had him at a 58 pitch count and Joey pops out on a 1-0 pitch? Maddoning.

[kaldaniels]

Damn. Thought Joey parked that one.


Damn, I thought Votto got more of that.

Damn it feels good to be a gangster.

[Chuckie]

Everything about Skip is a complete disaster. Man he stinks.

He's not still talking about that is he?

[Chuckie]

Stupid Schumaker costs us a run with that error. Jeez.

Nice throw Bruce. He wouldn't have thrown out Bartolo Colon there.

[BluegrassRedleg]

C'mon, Johnny. Gotta make a little bit tougher pitch there. "If you swing the bat, you're dangerous." Especially if it's in the zone.

[Tom Servo]

Stupid Schumaker costs us a run with that error. Jeez.

Nice throw Bruce. He wouldn't have thrown out Bartolo Colon there.
Or maybe Johnny could have thrown a better pitch or gotten a little better luck. It happens. Chill bruh.

[Big Klu]

Damn we're in a tight spot!

[Chuckie]

My goodness. 3-2 now.

[Larkin Fan]

Yikes.

[ScotlandRed]

How the hell has he not been thrown out there? What a pathetic throw from Suarez.

[kaldaniels]

Stupid Schumaker costs us a run with that error. Jeez.

Nice throw Bruce. He wouldn't have thrown out Bartolo Colon there.

Nope. On Cueto now. Jeez.

[BluegrassRedleg]

Suarez = Arm of a 12 y/o girl

[Tom Servo]

Damnit. I didn't think that was hit that well.

[Chuckie]

DeJesus with one of the worst relay throws home you'll ever see. He burned some worms with that one.

- - - Updated - - -

Schumaker makes up for it with a great catch!

Suarez = Arm of a 12 y/o girl

Incorrect.

[Big Klu]

How the hell has he not been thrown out there? What a pathetic throw from Suarez.

I'm sure that throw was Schumaker's fault.

[ScotlandRed]

Great catch by Skip, but how bad did he play that ball? He's not reading the ball well at all out there.

[Chuckie]

How the hell has he not been thrown out there? What a pathetic throw from Suarez.

Not Suarez. Was DeJesus.

[Tom Servo]

Johnny needed to get Hammel out there and he didn't, and it ended up costing 2 runs. Score more runs, Redlegs.

[Chuckie]

I'm sure that throw was Schumaker's fault.

It was probably the guy who actually threw the ball.

- - - Updated - - -

Cubs are somehow right back in this game. This season has been wonderful.

[ScotlandRed]

Not Suarez. Was DeJesus.

Apologies. It was Thom who said Suarez.

[Chuckie]

Toddfather! No. 18! 4-2 Reds.

I no longer blame Bob Boone.

I blame Raisor.

[Tom Servo]

Frazier! :jump:

[Larkin Fan]

That ball was hammered by Frazier. Nice!

[ScotlandRed]

How the god damn hell does Todd Frazier do that? I thought it was a bloop single off the bat.

[Chuckie]

A laser from Frazier.

That was pretty good, Thom.

[BluegrassRedleg]

Apologies. It was Thom who said Suarez.

50 push-ups for us folllwoing Thom's lead. :(

[villain612]

Frazier is a bad man.

[Big Klu]

Great catch by Skip, but how bad did he play that ball? He's not reading the ball well at all out there.

It's a strong wind in the OF. Think the Open at Royal Troon.

[ScotlandRed]

It's a strong wind in the OF. Think the Open at Royal Troon.

Well I suppose we can forgive Skip that one.

[50YrRedsFan]

Unusual for Pena to K...............

But maybe not for Suarez

[miamiredskin]

"Welcome to the real world, Thommy"

Chris despises Thom. Almost as much as RZers.

[Chuckie]

Got a break there. Ball was outside.

Screw Rizzo though.

[Raisor]

How the god damn hell does Todd Frazier do that? I thought it was a bloop single off the bat.

You have a potty mouth

[Chuckie]

"Welcome to the real world, Thommy"

Chris despises Thom. Almost as much as RZers.

What was up with Thom talking up Rizzo as "such a nice guy" during his first AB? Rizzo strikes me as "complete jerk" a lot more than "such a nice guy." Is Thom doing his best George Grande impersonation where he gives verbal fellacio to opposing players, specifically ones that Reds' fans hate?

[Raisor]

I no longer blame Bob Boone.

I blame Raisor.


Well I never!!!

[Big Klu]

"Welcome to the real world, Thommy"

Chris despises Thom. Almost as much as RZers.

Chris despises RedsZoners?

Welcome to Scotland.

[miamiredskin]

Doesn't everyone?

[Raisor]

Johnny strikes out the side. Boom.

I think you might be bipolar

[50YrRedsFan]

Cueto taking matters into his own hands.....not letting fielders touch the ball......K's the side.


And hits too.

[Raisor]

Johnny Beisbol

[ScotlandRed]

I do not want Cueto running over the bag like that after what happened to Cozart. Laced to centre!!

[villain612]

Johnny can't be denied!

[ScotlandRed]

When Hamilton is making contact with the ball he is basically on one knee. How can he be surprised the ball is popping up?

[Raisor]

I do not want Cueto running over the bag like that after what happened to Cozart. Laced to centre!!

It's center over here euro!

[50YrRedsFan]

Billy...you have to learn to hit the ball on the ground.

Kris Bryant is good.

Frazier is a Todd

"Canadian Murder Bot" will make a great metal song.

I just think of the Irn Bru adverts

The banned ones

[klw]

Angry Canadian Murder Bot is intentionally walked to get to Frazier

How much respect does that show for Votto when he gets intentionally walked to load the bases for the guy with a homer and double in his first two AB's

[ScotlandRed]

2nd ball hit very hard by Bruce today.

[Chuckie]

LOL at the "genius" Maddon letting Hammel hit for himself ... and then leaving him in the game to pitch the 5th.

Well done Joe! Was obvious this guy was gassed and should have been yanked after 4 innings. Not a good look for the "genius" there.

[Chuckie]

C'mon Gene Suarez, we need better than that.

[ScotlandRed]

Poor 3-1 call there should be 2 on 1 out.

[Mutaman]

There have been about 5 calls on WFAN today with Met fans begging Mets to try and make a deal for Frazier.

Are they to Francesca? Does he even know who Frazier is?

Starlin Castro went all Reggie Jackson on that swing.

Cueto not locating today.

[Tom Servo]

Cueto not locating today.
on cue plunks Denorfia

[Mutaman]

Why would he care? The New York media couldn't find Cincinnati on a map. Have to win to get their attention.

[Banshee]

After nature time w/ tHommy, not sure if he's going into moping mode or full on disgust. I think it's the latter.

[villain612]

I leave for ten minutes and it's a tie game. Feck

[Tom Servo]

Why would he care? The New York media couldn't find Cincinnati on a map. Have to win to get their attention.
"Lemme tell ya, this Todd Fraza, he's a real ballplayer, m'kay? I never seen him play before but 18 homers and 39 runs batted in? If you're the Mets, you find a spot for that in your lineup. M'kay?"

Why is Cueto still in the game?

[Tom Servo]

Why is Cueto still in the game?
Price is too busy watching a compilation of Dusty Rhodes promos on Youtube.

Why is Cueto still in the game?

Brian Price is managing.........and most of the bullpen sucks.

[KronoRed]

Why is Cueto still in the game?

Won't be here next year, use that arm up.

[Chuckie]

Why is Cueto still in the game?

We're trying to set the new record for most injuries within a 2-season span?

It's the only thing I can think of.

[Chuckie]

Won't be here next year, use that arm up.

After that elbow injury scare, I say it's prudent to keep his trade value high.

Cheap shot. Mike knows his baseball. Why would he care about the Reds? In any event he wants Mets to target Prado. Makes sense. marlins are ready to pack it in. Prado is versatile, can play in New York, and wouldn't cost the Mets one of their studs.

[KronoRed]

After that elbow injury scare, I say it's prudent to keep his trade value high.

Won't be trading him, sends a bad message to the fans.

You can do all the renovations you want, but the seagulls signify that Wrigley is still a dump.

Welsh jinxed Cueto hard

[50YrRedsFan]

Runner on first, no out, and Montero allowed to hit away. What a novel idea.

[Kingspoint]

How about Bruce with the go-ahead RBI in the 9th?

[NebraskaRed]

Runner on first, no out, and Montero allowed to hit away. What a novel idea.

But how did that work out for them?

[Mutaman]

In years past if you just hung with the Cubs for awhile they would eventually beat themselves. Now its different.

[50YrRedsFan]

Skippy Cobbler grounds out.

[50YrRedsFan]

But how did that work out for them?

It didn't, but at least the hitter got a chance. Unlike what Price would have done.

[50YrRedsFan]

Reds down in order in the 9th.

[Chuckie]

DeJesus is a hack defensively.

[ScotlandRed]

Wow DeJesus has a really poor arm. That's twice today.

[Mutaman]

I thought we learned last year that we don't want JJ to go 2 innings.

[Red Raindog]

Last year we didn't want him going one inning

[miamiredskin]

Angry Canadian Mental Bot strikes again. Had the out at 2nd and passed it up.

[Mutaman]

Did Maddon just bunt?

[Ironman92]

DeJesus bobbled it but he has shown often that he doesn't get much on despite the reason

[50YrRedsFan]

Bruce saved the Reds bacon there.....great catch.

[50YrRedsFan]

Free baseball today

[Boston Red]

The Cubs have used up 5 pitchers to our 2. That's got to be advantage Reds, right? Right? Why am I not that confident about this?

i was totally in favor of cutting Hoover based on last season. Boy was I wrong. Glad Bryan showed patience with him. Not that he had a lot of options.

Doesn't want to win anymore than Price does.

I wasn't paying anyone for it as it was.

Frazier reach on error, Bruce single, Frazier to third. 1st and 3rd with no outs, ah love it maggle.

Another ump with a roving zone

[Tom Servo]

Good AB by Pena, bad ending.

lol Thom is the only guy who keeps track of how each player does with "a runner on 3rd and less than two outs".

[Stray]

Love the call. Suarez did a good job just to get a bat on that.

[Banshee]

Well, the Missile will have to earn this one. Rizzo-Bryant-Montero and only a 1-run lead.

Maybe Hoover can get 10 wins this year to even out last year's losses.

[BluegrassRedleg]

Good job there by Suarez. Nice to see him bear down and get the job done. Frazier was pretty fired up for the kid.

[Chuckie]

Yeah, Boesch is awful. One day teams will learn not to put any stock into spring training stats. Or maybe not.

[ScotlandRed]

Good job there by Suarez. Nice to see him bear down and get the job done. Frazier was pretty fired up for the kid.

I love what I see out of Suarez. Even when he fouls the ball off, he hits some hard shots. Solid defensively too.

[Red Raindog]

Bad when Skip is your good option

[Chuckie]

C'mon Pena, you have to have that. (Because I definitely would have caught a 100 MPH pitch that was foul tipped.)

Boom! Doesn't matter as the Missile blows Rizzo away with a 101 MPHer.

[Wonderful Monds]

Oh yeah, I personally despise Rizzo. Forgot about that and the stupid joke of scrum that comes from.

[Wonderful Monds]

Suck it, jabroni. K for out one.

You better hope you get a hit off Chapman when the fastball is 'only' 98, cause you ain't touchin it at 101.

[Chuckie]

Oh yeah, I personally despise Rizzo. Forgot about that and the stupid joke of scrum that comes from.

You missed Thom earlier in the game talking about what a "great guy" Rizzo is. Rizzo probably said hi to him or something and Thom was flattered.

The cloud from the headlining performance Sunday at Bunbury Music Fest has somehow ended up at Wrigley.

[ScotlandRed]

He was drooling a little in that AB which set off a mental alarm and then he brought up the history between them and that's when it all made sense.

If he gives up a bomb here it's over, which is bad.

But Thom and Marty will be PISSSSSSSED, which is good.

Yessir! "And this one belongs to the Reds."

Nicely done boys. Only the second extra-inning win for the club this year (with 5 losses).
