[TheBigLebowski]

6.0 ip, 4 er

[WrongVerb]

This Miami guy's fastball is straight as an arrow.

[Reds Fanatic]

Reds go down 1-2-3 in the first

[Chip R]

The catcher is now singing soprano.

[50YrRedsFan]

The Reds haven't scored a run since Tuesday.:D

[Reds Fanatic]

Nice easy 6 pitch inning for Leake

[50YrRedsFan]

Nah. 8 innings with 2 runs tops.

Reds will win this one 4-2. Mark it down.

[Reds Fanatic]

Upper deck homer for Bruce. 1-0 Reds!

Laser HR by Bruce. 1-0 Redlegs

JAY!

What in the world is Thom talking about???

Not to worry. He'll repeat it 854 more times tonight whatever it is.

[50YrRedsFan]

What in the world is Thom talking about???

Talking just to hear himself talk. mumble mumble

[Reds Fanatic]

2 Ks for Leake

[Reds Fanatic]

3 Ks for Leake who looks really good tonight through 2.

[Raisor]

I take full credit for Bruce.

[Reds Fanatic]

Reds go down 1-2-3 in the 3rd. 1-0 Reds mid 3rd

[50YrRedsFan]

Quick innings.......they must want the ASB to start now.

[50YrRedsFan]

http://pixel.nymag.com/imgs/fashion/daily/2015/05/06/06-hamburglar-old.w529.h352.2x.jpg

I'd gladly pay you Tuesday for a 'hamburgler' today.

[WrongVerb]

I take full credit for Bruce.

I give you full credit for everything Raisor.

[Reds Fanatic]

4 Ks for Leake through 3 on 32 pitches

[Tom Servo]

Leake tho

[50YrRedsFan]

Big crowd here tonight.......zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[Reds Fanatic]

Leadoff hit for Votto

[Tom Servo]

Man, I'm actually with Thom on something. 20+ years of MLB in Florida has not been a success, though I think Miami could still work if not for the fact that Loria is literally the worst.

[WrongVerb]

Frazier looks like he's out in front of everything.

[Raisor]

I give you full credit for everything Raisor.

Damn straight

[_Sir_Charles_]

Jay having himself a game thus far. 2 for 2. Dinger, Double.

[Reds Fanatic]

Big night for Bruce as he follows up the homer with a double to left center

[Reds Fanatic]

Man, I'm actually with Thom on something. 20+ years of MLB in Florida has not been a success, though I think Miami could still work if not for the fact that Loria is literally the worst.

Yes the fact Tampa can't draw crows despite having good teams the last several years really points out how bad Florida is for MLB. Miami's ownership is a joke. I also hate both the parks in Florida especially Tampas

[Chip R]

Need this to stay 1-0 so Leake doesn't get bored.

[Reds Fanatic]

First baserunner of the night for Miami as Yelich walks

[Reds Fanatic]

6 Ks for Leake. 1-0 Reds after 4

[faffy42]

Leake probably won't make it out of the 4th inning.

Still standing by this one?;)

[Reds Fanatic]

Suarez lines a single to left

[faffy42]

Nah. 8 innings with 2 runs tops.

Spot on...:clap::clap:

[WrongVerb]

Suarez with a nice line drive on a pitcher's pitch. Wither Wally Cozart.

Or is it Zack Pipp?

[faffy42]

Hey thanks Thom for the marriage updates and geography lessons! Amen!

[Roy Tucker]

Billy's future is not with balls hit in the air.

[Reds Fanatic]

First Marlins hit by Dietrich

[Reds Fanatic]

Nice play by Frazier

[WrongVerb]

Billy's future is not with balls hit in the air.

Seems like everyone knows that but Billy.

[Reds Fanatic]

Leake is rolling through 5. 1-0 Reds.

[WrongVerb]

Nice play by Todd. I know this sounds strange but I wonder if that might get him out of his mini-slump.

[Chip R]

What in the world is Thom talking about???

https://sp.yimg.com/ib/th?id=JN.ww482cxaHKAd1LI1uOwFpg&pid=15.1&H=193&W=344&P=0

[Reds Fanatic]

Infield hit for Brandon

[Chip R]

Nice play by Todd. I know this sounds strange but I wonder if that might get him out of his mini-slump.

Todd has a tendency to cool off in the second half of the season.

[Reds Fanatic]

Bruce on base again with a walk. 1st and 2nd

[WrongVerb]

Todd has a tendency to cool off in the second half of the season.

Yeah, but it's not a huge decline. About .110 in OPS in his career. Last year was about .150 difference between first and second halves.

I still think the Reds should cash that chip in while it's hot. Frazier would bring a nice return this year from a team needing offense like the Mets.

[Reds Fanatic]

Ichiro with a pinch hit leadoff single

[Roy Tucker]

A classic Ichiro hit the other way.

[WrongVerb]

Watching Ichiro hit is what I imagine it was like watching Shoeless Joe hit 100 years ago.

[Reds Fanatic]

Close play at first ends the inning. 1-0 Reds after 6

[Roy Tucker]

Suarez has settled down nicely in the field.

[Reds Fanatic]

7 Ks for Leake

[Tony Cloninger]

Jay having himself a game thus far. 2 for 2. Dinger, Double.

Wouldn't a Jay Bruce month where he carries the team be nice?

[Reds Fanatic]

8 Ks for Leake

[Reds Fanatic]

Another 1-2-3 inning for Leake. 1-0 Reds after 7

[WrongVerb]

Suarez has settled down nicely in the field.

Not to worry. His next error and there will be another 20 page thread in the ORG forum.

Sigh

Wouldn't a Jay Bruce month where he carries the team be nice?

Not July, where that might convince management this team still has a shot.

[villain612]

I'm late to the party.

Get Mike some runs!

[WrongVerb]

Anyone think Price is confused as to why the Marlins' relief pitcher is out there for 2 straight innings?

[Reds Fanatic]

9 Ks for Leake

[Reds Fanatic]

2 out pinch hit double to left center by McGee

[villain612]

Do you bring Leake on for the 9th?

[Reds Fanatic]

10 Ks for Leake. 1-0 Reds after 8

[klw]

Good thing they can't use Chapman to get 1 out in the eight.

[Reds Fanatic]

102 pitches for Leake. I would bring him back out for the 9th

[BCubb2003]

Is it too late to #VoteLeake?

[klw]

Do you bring Leake on for the 9th?

no, I predicted he would go 8 so they need to pull him to preserve my prediction

[Big Klu]

Leake probably won't make it out of the 4th inning.


Nah. 8 innings with 2 runs tops.

Winner, klw!

[R_Webb18]

I'd use Chapman

[Reds Fanatic]

Byrd reaches on an infield hit off the shortstop's foot

[WrongVerb]

Chapman hasn't pitched since Monday, so why not?

[Reds Fanatic]

Good bunt by Suarez

[Reds Fanatic]

Chapman coming in.

Great start by Leake: 8IP, 3H, 0ER, 1BB, 10K

[WrongVerb]

I still can't believe the Tigers gave up Suarez+ for Simon. Loving that trade more every day.

[Banshee]

What a pitcher's paradise pitching at Marlin's field. Cavernous as Yellowstone. Which makes Stanton's HR's look even more impressive. No cheapies in that building. Great night by Leake, now finish 'em Missile!

[WrongVerb]

Apparently the mlb.tv stream is a few minutes behind the thread.

[Reds Fanatic]

Apparently Latos has been scratched from starting for the Marlins tomorrow

[757690]

Chapman doesn't pitch as well in the road as he does at home. #fingerscrossed

[Kc61]

Apparently Latos has been scratched from starting for the Marlins tomorrow

So has DeSclafani.

[Reds Fanatic]

Yelich strikes out swinging

[Kc61]

Chapman doesn't pitch as well in the road as he does at home. #fingerscrossed

True. I think it was 2013 when the difference was serious.

But he's capable of being Chapman on the road too.

Two lefty hitters for the Marlins in this inning. Lefty hitters have some problems with Aroldis.

[Banshee]

Chappy's loose, 103!

[Reds Fanatic]

103 MPH. 2 Ks for Chapman

[gilpdawg]

I swear Chapman has more movement of the FB than usual, but maybe it's the camera angle.

[Kc61]

The two lefties had no chance. The righty had a chance.

Two outs, one on, 1-0 game.

Morse up, c'mon Aroldis.

[Kc61]

Another lefty on deck. Nothing too good Aroldis.

2-2 count on Morse.

[Banshee]

That'll do it, and that's a winner!

[Kc61]

K, game over.

Chapman with 3Ks.

Guy is something else.

[Reds Fanatic]

103 MPH again. Chapman strikes out the side. 13 combined Ks for Leake and Chapman tonight. 1-0 Reds win.

[Roy Tucker]

Yay!

[MilotheMayor]

Good night for our favorite team's trade assets.

[Big Klu]

Tonight's "Joe Nuxhall Star of the Game" is Mike Leake, who pitched a three-hit shutout through 8 innings with 10 K's!

[emoji3]

[WVRedsFan]

102 pitches for Leake. I would bring him back out for the 9thDusty? Is that you?
