[Chip R]

Lot of range out there in center and left.

[Red Raindog]

So Price is not expecting this game to be played -- or does he thinks Byrd and Grit are the mudders for this track?

[powersackers]

The radar looks bleak.

[texasdave]

So Price is not expecting this game to be played -- or does he thinks Byrd and Grit are the mudders for this track?

Maybe Price is hoping to pull a rabbit of his own out of his cap.

[Red Raindog]

Maybe Price is hoping to pull a rabbit of his own out of his cap.

A Byrd would be better

[emoji48]

[texasdave]

The radar looks bleak.

The Louisville game at Lehigh Valley has been postponed already. FWIW.

[Tom Servo]

Rain is only getting worse here in midtown.

[Tom Servo]

More of the same from yesterday in today's 1st inning.

[kaldaniels]

Ha! Welsh calling Grande out on calling Mr. Toms River a "hometown guy" playing in NYC.

[757690]

Smart move by Granderson, I'd run all day on anything hit to LF-CF.

[Tom Servo]

Great sequence by Lorenzen to get Duda swinging.

[Big Klu]

In my mind, the soundtrack for rainy afternoon Mets games at Citi Field (or old Shea) is always Simon & Garfunkel.

[Banshee]

Perfecto/no-no gone, Byrd line drive single, woohoo!

[Tom Servo]

Skippy crushes a double

[Banshee]

Gritty Skippy double.

[Tom Servo]

Man, De Jesus hit that on the screws but not deep enough.

[Big Klu]

Gritty Skippy double.

[Stray]

Good thing he slipped cuz he'd have been out.

[Banshee]

Lucky slip by Byrdman, would've been dead by 10 feet if he'd gone.

[Tom Servo]

Oh man, I thought Lorenzen had that one off or over the wall.

[Banshee]

Lorenzen needs to PH more, kid can hit.

[Big Klu]

Lorenzen needs to PH more, kid can hit.

And maybe an outfielder's glove, too. ;)

[Big Klu]

The Reds hit Harvey pretty hard last inning, though they have nothing to show for it.

[Banshee]

And maybe an outfielder's glove, too. ;)

I was thinking the same after I posted, and Billy does have the Servo hex on him..

[villain612]

Rats. Forgot it was a 4pm game.

[Big Klu]

Chris, the process of encasing a business card in plastic is called "laminating".

[Tom Servo]

Granderson again. 1-0 Metlegs.

Now a cookie down the middle doubled to the wall. Settle down, Mike.

[Big Klu]

"The Stevie Miller Band"?

Is that a tribute to the Steve Miller Band?

[Tom Servo]

"The Stevie Miller Band"?

Is that a tribute to the Steve Miller Band?
I got the Mets announcers, is that George?

[757690]

On a side note, I want to sue Panara for false advertising. Impossible that anyone actually enjoys eating Kale.

[Banshee]

The Grandyman is killing the reds. Might be time to burn their scouting report on him.

[Stray]

Gritty at bat there

[Big Klu]

I got the Mets announcers, is that George?

Yes.

George is also a fan of Steve Ray Vaughan and Steve Wonder.

[Tom Servo]

Yes.
Stevie Miller Band
Walt Jockerty
Tony Cingranny
Anthony DeSclafanny

[Kc61]

Keith Hernandez opines that Lorenzen has good stuff. He liked that curve ball to get the first out on strike three.

I missed last night's game and am finding this one depressing.

[Big Klu]

You didn't miss much. Second verse, same as the first.

[kaldaniels]

That may be it for a while.

[Big Klu]

I don't know, but that woman is going to choke on her salad if she doesn't slow down. Hopefully the guy knows the Heimlich maneuver.

[Tom Servo]

Reds need to do something here because it's an official game after this frame.

[Tom Servo]

Granderson with a weird route to a Barnhart flyball and then winds up dropping it, Barnhart to 2nd. Scored a double for some reason.

[Banshee]

Grandyman taketh and now giveth.

[kaldaniels]

Reds need to do something here because it's an official game after this frame.

Yep the grounds crew really went at the field in between innings. Someone really wants this to be an official game.

[757690]

Can Lorenzen play CF?

[Tom Servo]

And DatDude ties it with an RBI double!

1-1

[Banshee]

BP double, need to get him in and win this thing post haste! 1-1

[Kc61]

Nice RBI hit by Phillips. Lets get him home and then hope it rains harder after 5.

[757690]

Harvey doesn't want an easy win.

[kaldaniels]

Grande lets his fanboy out. 1-1.

[50YrRedsFan]

Granderson with a weird route to a Barnhart flyball and then winds up dropping it, Barnhart to 2nd. Scored a double for some reason.


Definitely should be E-9

[villain612]

[BCubb2003]

"The Stevie Miller Band"?


Is that a tribute to the Steve Miller Band?

He's known by many names.

[Big Klu]

Granderson with a weird route to a Barnhart flyball and then winds up dropping it, Barnhart to 2nd. Scored a double for some reason.

He dropped it while trying to make a sliding catch. Most scorers will give a hit on that play, especially when considering the playing conditions.


And DatDude ties it with an RBI double!

1-1

George is legitimately excited about that hit!

[Banshee]

He's known by many names.

Space Cowboy
Gangster of Love
Maurice

[Tom Servo]

joey and todd y u do dis

[Kc61]

BP has had some big hits lately. Deserves credit, he's played well this season.

[kaldaniels]

George is legitimately excited about that hit!

"YES!!!!!'" said Grande, throwing professionism to the wind. I dunno, it was actually kind of cute.

[Tom Servo]

Not a good location on that pitch to Duda, gotta give him one low.

[Mutaman]

Before my time but legend has it that Miller fronted a great frat band called the Ardells in Madison Wisconsin in the early 60s. Boz Scaggs, Tim Davis, Ben Sidrane. Supposedly did a nasty cover of "Ooh Poo Pah Doo".

[Tom Servo]

Granderson doing his Will Venable impression in the outfield.

[Banshee]

Grandy giveth part deux.

[Stray]

That was the worst played flyball that I've ever seen. Or maybe the camera angle was weird...or the wind idk.

[Tom Servo]

Byrd GIDP

[Big Klu]

George is a poet!

"That would have been trouble,
at least a double."

[Tom Servo]

Mets announcers not impressed by BP's barehand grab, deeming it unnecessary.


Nice defense by Lorenzen!

[Big Klu]

Mets announcers not impressed by BP's barehand grab, deeming it unnecessary.


Nice defense by Lorenzen!

They would freaking love him if he were wearing blue and orange.

[Tom Servo]

The damn walks ruin an otherwise nice Lorenzen start.

Parra coming in to face Granderson with the bases loaded and 2 outs.

[Banshee]

The reds never like to do anything the easy way..

[Assembly Hall]

The damn walks ruin an otherwise nice Lorenzen start.

Parra coming in to face Granderson with the bases loaded and 2 outs.

I just dont understand it. Hell, did he forget where the plate is?

[Tom Servo]

I just dont understand it. Hell, did he forget where the plate is?
Hasn't been a pitcher for very long, figure it's just got to be a fatigue thing. He'll learn.

[Tom Servo]

Nice work Handy Manny, he gets Granderson to fly out to left to end the threat.

[Banshee]

Blooped to left. 10 feet from warning track.

[Big Klu]

Whew! Routine fly ball to Schumaker in LF to end the inning!

[Ironman92]

Great job Parra

[KronoRed]

Looked like ball 4.

Why are they insisting on playing in this rain?

[Banshee]

Hasn't been a pitcher for very long, figure it's just got to be a fatigue thing. He'll learn.

Not to mention he's soaked to the bone, pitching in mud, wet ball, etc. It happens, not just to young guys. See J. Cueto yesterday.

[Tom Servo]

Rain Delay time.

[villain612]

Never doubted Parra.

[Big Klu]

I have a feeling that this one will be completed before tomorrow's regularly scheduled game (provided that tomorrow's game isn't rained out).

[Eric from NC]

Never doubted Parra.

I was curious about the rules. If they cannot play this game tonight, can they play it as a suspended game tomorrow?

[Banshee]

Bring it back Marty!


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJTH5qIT-UI

[Stray]

So did they wait for Harvey to finish his start to delay the game for rain, or did it start raining harder?

[Tony Cloninger]

I miss the Tie games. You play an extra game and get to pad your stats for one more day. Plus I was always confounded why Pete Rose showed 163 games played in 1974 and Willie Montanez in 1976, I think.

[OnBaseMachine]

Lorenzen cost himself a really good outing by trying to get a pinch hitter out with his 4th best pitch. Puzzling pitch selection.

[Tom Servo]

today’s game has been suspended. it will be resumed at 1:10 tomorrow. 53-minute delays

[Chip R]

Dammit, Servo!

[WVRedsFan]

Thanks, guys, for the game thread. I was stuck in a driving wicked rainstorm from Asheboro, NC to Myrtle Beach and couldn't figure out why I couldn't get the game on Sirius. Finally realized it was a late start and then cellular service went out and, well, I was lost. Lost power too and when power came back on, I headed here. Did Marlon actually play CF and Skippy LF?

[Big Klu]

Yes, it was Byrd's first start in CF since May 2013 with the Mets. He has now played all three OF spots for the Reds in the past week.

[WVRedsFan]

Yes, it was Byrd's first start in CF since May 2013 with the Mets. He has now played all three OF spots for the Reds in the past week.How did he do? I have been saying he does a good defensive job. For a guy of 37, he's ageless.

[Big Klu]

How did he do? I have been saying he does a good defensive job. For a guy of 37, he's ageless.

I thought he was similar to Choo. He doesn't have the range we are used to seeing with Hamilton, and I wouldn't want him out there on a long-term basis. But as a fill-in, he wasn't horrible.

[Kc61]

Suspended game about to get underway.

DeJesus fouls off the first pitch on a potentially long Sunday.

0-2 on DeJesus.

[Kc61]

One out as DeJesus grounds to short. Barnhart coming up.

Barnhart singles to right.

Parra due up, he finished yesterday's game on the mound. But Pena will come up and Parra is out of the game.

[Kc61]

Mattheus up in the pen, will pitch the seventh.

Pena lines a single to right.

Two on, Phililps up, two catchers on the bases.

Hamilton now runs for the lead catcher, Barnhart out.

[757690]

I'm liking how Price is managing this inning. It's a very unique situation, and he's being very aggressive about it.

[Kc61]

Phillips out at first on smash back to pitcher. Ball was deflected but pitcher made the play.

Runners move up.

Lefty to come in for Votto, second and third, two outs.

[JaxRed]

What the hell kind of a hat is this new guy wearing?

[OnBaseMachine]

Tucker Barnhart has an .862 OPS as a LH batter.

[NebraskaRed]

Mets replacing Torres with Torres

- - - Updated - - -


What the hell kind of a hat is this new guy wearing?

Protective padding.

Torres is wearing a hat from the Endor collection.

[OnBaseMachine]

Votto walks. Bases loaded for Frazier. Two outs.

[kaldaniels]

If I were a manager watching a pitcher come out of the pen and do that would make me blow my gasket.

[NebraskaRed]

LOWGY - left-handed one walk guy.

[Kc61]

2-2 on Frazier. Bases jammed.

Pop up, out, behind the plate.

[texasdave]

Hell hath no fury like a Negron scorned, as he goes yard in his second time up for Louisville. A drive of Jim-Coombsian measure.

[Big Klu]

The Mets' mascots are poseurs.

[NebraskaRed]

It's raining again. They should suspend this game until tomorrow.

[Big Klu]

Schumaker with a great catch in LF!

[Kc61]

Schumaker with great play in LF robbing Tejada of an extra base hit.

[NebraskaRed]

Skippy with the catch of the day.

[HalMorrisRules]

I thought that was extra bases off of the bat.

[Stray]

all this grit

[Kc61]

Schu then throws out Duda at second.

Great defense by Schumaker suddenly in LF this inning. Wow.

[Big Klu]

Schumaker throws Duda out at 2nd!

[HalMorrisRules]

Oh my!

[NebraskaRed]

LOL Duda

[Big Klu]

"Camptown ladies sing this song,
DUDA, DUDA!"

[Kc61]

Mattheus with a K. Nothing for the Mets in the seventh, two big plays in LF for the Reds.

[faffy42]

SCHUMAKER came to play today

[OnBaseMachine]

Skip Schumaker. Great defensive left fielder in baseball history.

[NebraskaRed]

Umps should just give the Mets the L for that inning and end the game.

[reds1869]

Skip may be generally bad, but I do love watching how the guy carries himself. Those were two tremendous plays by a gritty professional.

[Kc61]

Bruce just misses. One out.

[Tom Servo]

Bruce just misses a HR.

[Stray]

So close

[OnBaseMachine]

Bruce robbed of a go ahead HR.

[Kc61]

Nothing accross for the Reds. The unusual road hot hitting from Pittsburgh did not follow the Reds to NY.

[Kc61]

Mattheus continues in the eighth. Would have expeced Hoover.

[Tom Servo]

Mattheus continues in the eighth. Would have expeced Hoover.
Methinks Price is going to be careful with the bullpen because he isn't expecting much from Smith.

[Kc61]

Flores safe as DeJesus can't make throw from deep in hole. High throw, runner safe.

[Tom Servo]

miss you cozy

[Kc61]

Methinks Price is going to be careful with the bullpen because he isn't expecting much from Smith.

Yeah, but you gotta win one of these games.

If Smith gets knocked around early in game 2, I'd rather have the first one in the bag.

One out, bunt pop out by Lageras.

Mets catcher up, one out, tie game, bottom eight, man on first.

[Kc61]

Mets have hit some shots off Mattheus including a massive foul by Flores.

Now Votto with nice play on pop out in foul territory.

Two outs.

Pinch hitter grounds out, on to the ninth inning.

[Kc61]

Mets closer in, full count on DeJesus.

Dominguez on deck.

Wonder if Reds brought in a 26th player since this counts as a doubleheader.

Slow grounder, one out.

Dominguez Ks, two outs.

Hit, Pena. Opposite field single.

[OnBaseMachine]

Both Reds batters this inning got ahead 3-0 in the count. Both batters made outs.

[Tom Servo]

Single for Pena

Up to DatDude

[50YrRedsFan]

Mets closer in, full count on DeJesus.

Dominguez on deck.

Wonder if Reds brought in a 26th player since this counts as a doubleheader.

Slow grounder, one out.

Dominguez Ks, two outs.

Hit, Pena. Opposite field single.

Reds brought up Bourgeois for the 26th man.

[Tom Servo]

Hoover in for the 9th.

[50YrRedsFan]

2 days of baseball and neither of these offenses can muster up a run to win .

[Kc61]

Reds brought up Bourgeois for the 26th man.

Thanks.

Bottom ninth, JJ Hoover in.

Mets announcers pointing out that Hoover has had a lot more success with fewer strikeouts. Point is, throwing grounders, guys.

[Kc61]

Herrera the batter, 2-2 count.

Flies to left. One down for JJ.

Granderson up. He's hit the Mets last four homers.

JJ falls behind. Granderson walks, close pitch for ball four.

Tejada coming up.

[Big Klu]

Wonder if Reds brought in a 26th player since this counts as a doubleheader.

Jason Bourgeois.

I'm shocked that they didn't add a 14th pitcher.

[Tom Servo]

hoover y u do dis

[PuffyPig]

Thanks.

Bottom ninth, JJ Hoover in.

Mets announcers pointing out that Hoover has had a lot more success with fewer strikeouts. Point is, throwing grounders, guys.

Point is, .185 BABIP, 0% HR/FB rate. Luck does make a difference.

[Kc61]

Wild Pitch fastball way outside and in the dirt.

Mets now with man in scoring position with one out, tie game, bottom nine.

[Tom Servo]

Hoover uncorks a wild pitch

[Tom Servo]

Mets batters not fooled by Hoover's breaking stuff.

Another walk. I'm having flashbacks to the walk off grand slam for the Mets last year.

Duda with a soft tapper that works as a bunt. 2nd and 3rd two out for Cuddyer.

[Tom Servo]

Cuddyer with an infield popup to 2nd, Hoover escapes. On to the 10th.

[Kc61]

Two outs, second and third, Cuddyer up.

BABIP does not mean luck. BABIP means batting average for balls in play. Hoover is no longer an extreme fly ball pitcher allowing lots of long hits. He has learned to induce grounders. That's the main difference.

1-2 count on Cuddyer now. Pop up. BP catches it. Extra innings.

I'll back off the play by play, maybe Reds are better off without it today.

[RedsfaninMT]

I wish BP wouldn't do that when catching a popup. Sixty is just 6.5 years away for me, and I'd like to make it.

[50YrRedsFan]

The Mets are bad at hitting the ball.

[Tom Servo]

Votto with a leadoff walk

[OnBaseMachine]

Lead off walk for Votto.

[Tom Servo]

Todd can't get anything going against the Mets. Obviously doesn't want to hurt his next team ;)

[Tom Servo]

Bruce fielders choice, Votto out at 2nd.
Byrd with a broken bat infield single

2 on, 2 out for Skippy.

[Stray]

Love the hustle this inning.

[Kc61]

Familia, the closer, with a high pitch count. Presumably won't be available in game two.

- - - Updated - - -

Darn it, liner caught.

[Tom Servo]

Ugh. Skippy with a line drive but grabbed by the third baseman to end the frame.

[BluegrassRedleg]

Weird-looking ball off Bruce's bat. Haven't seen many fool an infielder like that.

[Boston Red]

Familia, the closer, with a high pitch count. Presumably won't be available in game two.





Grande reads the game thread!

[Tom Servo]

Burke Goodenhop in.

[villain612]

Burke Goodenhop in.

He's pretty good but he's no Legendhop.

[NebraskaRed]

Persnickety with a base hit

[Stray]

They've burned some good relievers with another game later today. Would love to hurry up and win this one.

[Big Klu]

Todd can't get anything going against the Mets. Obviously doesn't want to hurt his next team ;)

How does that hurt the Tigers? ;)

[Kc61]

Going to bottom eleven tied.

When the Reds hit so well in Pittsburgh, I figured it was a correction to the poor road hitting numbers.

This series is a correction to the correction.

[50YrRedsFan]

This game may never end.

[Kc61]

This game may never end.

As a Reds fan, that may not be a bad result.

[OnBaseMachine]

The Reds never win this low scoring extra inning game, do they?

[faffy42]

Two below average offenses battling it out in extra innings of a suspended game. ...gee whiz beev does anyone want to win this game?!

[villain612]

On a long enough timeline the survival rate for the Reds bullpen reaches zero.

[faffy42]

The Reds never win this low scoring extra inning game, do they?

No..I don't think they do.

[faffy42]

Well...I guess votto wants to get this game over.

[villain612]

"Behind the bag!"

[Boston Red]

That was a very bad defensive effort to not even touch it.

[Big Klu]

Votto was caught flatfooted on that one.

[villain612]

Votto pulls a Buckner against the Mets. lol

[villain612]

This is a heck of an at bat by Tejada.

[Tom Servo]

Danger. Walk to Tejada now Duda up with 2 on, 1 out.

[villain612]

Danger. Walk to Tejada now Duda up with 2 on, 1 out.

Nothing could go wrong here.

[Kc61]

Decision not to use Chapman here is debatable. He did warm up earlier. The meat of Mets' order up. On the other hand, another game to go. Chapman was shaky last time out.

Let's have a 300 post thread on it.

[Tom Servo]

Nice K of Duda.

[Kc61]

Baseball. Game of inches.

[Tom Servo]

Nice work Contreras.


The Mets - showing Reds fans that other teams are futile too

[Kc61]

Contreras came up big that inning. He's had control issues, but he throws pretty hard and has a nice cutter.

Hope he continues to improve, Reds could use some good young arms in that pen.

[villain612]

Never doubted Contreras for a moment.

Let me page Chuckie.

[Boston Red]

Phillips drilled that ball? Not exactly how I would have described that pop fly foul ball.

[BluegrassRedleg]

Hate these parks where you crush one, and it's a routine out.

[faffy42]

Just zero luck today...ball cannot find the green.

- - - Updated - - -

Flava gets his first hit

[Boston Red]

Kinda funny that Votto is out and Frazier gets a hit given how hard the two hit the ball, respectively. Funny game!

[faffy42]

Hate these parks where you crush one, and it's a routine out.

Versus parks where you can hit it lunging off the end of the bat for a hr? : )

[Kc61]

Mid-twelfth.

Reds with two runs this series in 21 innings.

If Reds want to win road games, they will need to add steady OBP/BA men to this lineup.

The home run hitters have less impact outside of GABP.

Contreras still on the hill.

[villain612]

The long slow march continues.

[Tracy Jones]

Never doubted Contreras for a moment.

Let me page Chuckie.

Chuckie is busy.

Mensa meeting.

[faffy42]

Wonder who will catch the next game... I'm guessing barnhart?

[50YrRedsFan]

The 2nd game will end up 14-13.

[Kc61]

Wonder who will catch the next game... I'm guessing barnhart?

Chapman will catch the high leverage innings.

[RedTeamGo!]

And the offense is terrible again

[Kc61]

And the offense is terrible again

Reds offense simply struggles on the road. The Pirates series was an exception.

Need more hitters who get on base. As Walt said after last season.

[Tracy Jones]

And the offense is terrible again

That's generally what happens when the heart of your order goes 2-16

[BluegrassRedleg]

Versus parks where you can hit it lunging off the end of the bat for a hr? : )

Not sure which is worse. But, yeah.

[faffy42]

Okay. I'm calling it. Reds win 3-1. Your welcome.

[Tracy Jones]

Not sure which is worse. But, yeah.

The extreme pitchers park is far worse. At least with the other, you get some excitement.

[Kc61]

Power hitting is going to be less successful in bigger stadiums.

So you need to score runs another way.

It's very simple, Walt knows this, but they haven't done much about it.

I know, Winker gets on base.

[NebraskaRed]

To give you an idea of how long this game has gone on, this team photo was taken right before the game started yesterday:

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c1/1869-cincinnati-red-stockings.jpg

[Kc61]

Okay. I'm calling it. Reds win 3-1. Your welcome.

I could see a 2-1 prediction.

But three runs?

Kind of extreme, but ok, I'll buy it.

[Tracy Jones]

Has anyone told Byrd that it's not mandatory to swing at every pitch?

[Tom Servo]

lol this game sucks

[Kc61]

Has anyone told Byrd that it's not mandatory to swing at every pitch?

Byrd waiting for a lefty pitcher.

DeJesus with a hit. Be still my heart.

[50YrRedsFan]

Okay. I'm calling it. Reds win 3-1. Your welcome.

How many innings?

[NebraskaRed]

Suarez will save us all

[villain612]

http://www.travelfreak.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/sleeping-gif-13.gif

[Tom Servo]

That was a horrible idea.

[50YrRedsFan]

Skip better start warming up.

[Tracy Jones]

That was a horrible idea.

Every idea that doesn't work is a horrible idea

[Kc61]

That was a horrible idea.

To say nothing of the execution.

[Banshee]

DeJesus is speed challenged.

[Tom Servo]

Adcock, the human white flag, in to pitch.

[NebraskaRed]

Ad**** on to pitch the bottom of the 13th.

[faffy42]

How many innings?

14

[RedlegJake]

Dilson Herrerra - if only his name was Dilrod - he'd become my favorite non red

[Kc61]

I was thinking that Lorenzen could play outfield if necessary.

LOL, but he was the starting pitcher and can't come back into the game.

This has been a long one.

[Kc61]

Reds need some luck this inning.

[villain612]

Adcock will save us all.

From a longer game.

[Tracy Jones]

Reds need some luck this inning.

They need more than kuck

[faffy42]

Okay I'm calling it. Mets win 2-1. Your welcome. Game 2...your up!

[NebraskaRed]

Adcock

Subtract a win

[Raisor]

This is the game that never ends, yes it goes on and on my friends.

Some people started playing it not knowing what it was, and they'll continue playing it forever just because....

This is the game that never ends....

[Tom Servo]

Adcock makes me long for Curtis Partch.

[Tracy Jones]

lol Suarez sucks

[Tom Servo]

That's our Eugenio :/

[Banshee]

That's our Eugenio :/

I wonder if that's spanish for "error"?

[villain612]

Adcock getting 3 outs is already a stretch.

Cool defense, Reds.
