[klw]

Phillips 4,
Votto 3,
Frazier 5
Bruce 9,
Byrd 7,
De Jesus 6,
Barnhart 2,
DeSclafani 1
Hamilton 8

[Ironman92]

DeJesus seems to hit a lot of solid shots....would like Suarez in there everyday

[Red Raindog]

Pedro Alvarez just hit one in the river off of Scherzer

[Ironman92]

Pedro Alvarez just hit one in the river off of Scherzer

I was watching when he hit it....dumb announcer was talking about perfect games and no hitters in the 2nd inning

[Red Raindog]

Reds up & down with no threat in the first

[Tom Servo]

I just knew that George would be the announcer in Colorado.

[WrongVerb]

Is it me or is Thom's penchant for man-love rubbing off on Chris? He's started slobbering over LeMahieu already.

[KittyDuran]

Is it me or is Thom's penchant for man-love rubbing off on Chris? He's started slobbering over LeMahieu already.Hey! This is a family board! ;)

[WrongVerb]

George: "Nice pick by DeJesus." Uhhhhh...

Hey! This is a family board! ;)

[Gandalf the Red]

Thom and George should battle it out at WrestleMania next year with the loser forced to retire.

[757690]

So Reds fans hate both Grande's folksy optimism, and Thom's cynical rants? Tough crowd.

[Tom Servo]

George: "Nice pick by DeJesus." Uhhhhh...

De Jesus is white. He just is.

[WrongVerb]

Battle to the death, and the winner has to retire. :D

[Tom Servo]

So Reds fans hate both Grande's folksy optimism, and Thom's cynical rants? Tough crowd.
That's why I like Kelch, he's the middle ground and just calls the action.

Really my only problem with George is just his excitement when the other team does something well. I can handle the niceties and cliches.

[Chip R]

Reds left their bats in Cincinnati.

[WrongVerb]

So Reds fans hate both Grande's folksy optimism, and Thom's cynical rants? Tough crowd.

It'd be nice if George would interrupt his folksy optimism by letting the viewers know, for instance, that there's a shift on. Or even pay attention enough to realize it himself.

[WrongVerb]

Honestly, I think some announcers who weren't on the wrong side of the retirement age would be a nice change of pace. Don't we all agree?

[Gandalf the Red]

Reds left their bats in Cincinnati.

Can we send Price back to look for them?

[Tom Servo]

26 pitches for Butler through 3 innings.

[The Operator]

26 pitches for Butler through 3 innings.Gotta be aggressive against a guy who came in with more walks than K's.

You know he'll be pounding the zone.

[757690]

It'd be nice if George would interrupt his folksy optimism by letting the viewers know, for instance, that there's a shift on. Or even pay attention enough to realize it himself.

To be fair, that's Chris's job. But you're right, the really good play by play guys notice stuff like that.

[Tom Servo]

George and Chris also in favor of the slippery slope to a nanny state.

[Kc61]

Reds left their bats in Cincinnati.

All season.

[The Operator]

Uh oh, George is also in favor of the slipper slope to the Nanny State.

[The Operator]

George and Chris also in favor of the slippery slope to a nanny state.http://treasure.diylol.com/uploads/post/image/516292/resized_y-u-no-meme-generator-y-u-no-stop-reading-my-mind-259c32.jpg

[Ironman92]

Happy to hear Grande as Thom is just awful.

Then sure enough Welsh brings up some crap when LeMahieu came up. I get so sick of the battle every time the Reds face someone with a good 2nd baseman....which is basically everyone since Dan Uggla. Quit insulting everyone.

[Tom Servo]

Disco looking pretty good so far.

[Ironman92]

Disco looking pretty good so far.

I would like to jinx proof this post.

[Sabo Fan]

Anybody else think the cameraman didn't give a rip about showing the folks who got the foul ball from Byrd? I'd say he was focused elsewhere based on the time they stuck with that shot.

These are the things I notice during games in a lost season.

[The Operator]

Disco looking pretty good so far.http://i.imgur.com/uU392Px.gif

[The Operator]

Did you guys just hear about Frazier's jersey sales?

That's awesome.

[Ironman92]

Good job by Phillips to stay on the base....bad job by not knowing how good of an athlete Blackmon is. Many around baseball don't realize how fast and what kind of arm he has.

[Chip R]

Yay! A run!

[Tom Servo]

Frazier RBI double after BP had doubled

1-0 Redlegs

[The Operator]

Frazier! 1-0 Reds on the RBI double.

"Boy did he rope that one!"

[BluegrassRedleg]

Frazier is an XBH machine this season.

[WrongVerb]

Did you guys just hear about Frazier's jersey sales?

That's awesome.

Too bad Thom isn't announcing, or I'm sure we'd hear about it another 582 times tonight.

- - - Updated - - -

We got a run, though, so that's good!

[The Operator]

Too bad Thom isn't announcing, or I'm sure we'd hear about it another 582 times tonight."Brother let me tell ya, you know who sells some jerseys? FRAY-ZHA! Those sales are UNBELIEVABLE!"

[Ironman92]

Too bad Thom isn't announcing, or I'm sure we'd hear about it another 582 times tonight.

Nah....he'd start talking about Darwin Barney undeservingly being in Middletown.

[klw]

Do the Reds know they are allowed to take a strike?

[Banshee]

So Reds fans hate both Grande's folksy optimism, and Thom's cynical rants? Tough crowd.

When the reds are/were good, I prefer Grande and his sunny attitude. When they're bad...? Just mute the TV and put on some tunes, both are tough to handle imo.

[Ironman92]

"He hits it...it's going kinda far (yawns) it's deep and it's gone....Todd Frazier hits a grand slam (yawns again) and the Reds win in the 13th.

[WrongVerb]

What this team really needs is a different personality. It doesn't feel like they're a team, but rather a collection of players. I mean, I love the guys, but I hope more than just trades are made to change the team.

[The Operator]

Byrd just made Butler throw more pitches to him in one AB than any of the first three entire innings, or at least it seems that way.

[Ironman92]

I like when the Reds play in Pittsburgh and they pair up Grande with Sean Casey and they spend the whole game tickling each other.

[Tom Servo]

Nobody (messes) with De Jesus! 2 run double!

3-0 Redlegs

[The Operator]

De Jesus is just alright with me, De Jesus is just alright!

3-0 Reds on Ivan's 2-run double

[Ironman92]

DeJesus hits everything hard...I like

[WrongVerb]

Byrd just made Butler throw more pitches to him in one AB than any of the first three entire innings, or at least it seems that way.

Butler:
26 pitches to get 9 outs
27 pitches to get 2 outs

[Ironman92]

Frazier in the last few games has returned to his better defense that he played most of last year

[WrongVerb]

Loving this Frazier guy. He can play a little bit.

Now, that Kyle Schwarber, he's a baseball player, let me tell you!

[Banshee]

Disco is a raging inferno through 4 so far.
9497

[Tom Servo]

Loving this Frazier guy. He can play a little bit.

Now, that Kyle Schwarber, he's a baseball player, let me tell you!
And between innings we had a chance to meet his father. What a great guy.

[Ironman92]

Nomar?

[Ironman92]

Hey George watch Jose Iglesias....I think he can maybe throw sidearm SMH

[The Operator]

Nomar?I remember when he was the dude.

Too bad he didn't have the longevity of Jeter or A-Rod.

[WrongVerb]

Grande: "Other than a guy who retired 10 years ago, have you seen anyone of this era..."

[WrongVerb]

Nomar?

You know Nomar, a shortstop of this era.

[Tom Servo]

Nomar?
I preferred the line before the play of "When Billy gets the ball on the ground, the chances are better than 50/50 that he'll get on"

>Billy grounds to short
>is thrown out

[Razor Shines]

Discnofani looks pretty sharp out there tonaught.

[Kc61]

Just don't let Hoover pitch to Drew Stubbs, assuming he's still a Rockie.

[Ironman92]

I remember when he was the dude.

Too bad he didn't have the longevity of Jeter or A-Rod.

Ran out of teh roidz

Um, I'm absolutely positive that Grande doesn't have a clue that he can actually look that up:

[Razor Shines]

Looks like I'll be getting some more McDonald's coupons (as per our arrangement) in the mail from one Homer Bailey.

[Tom Servo]

Damn, mistake pitch to Hundley and it's an RBI triple.

[The Operator]

Oh Georgie...

Ball is already to the wall - "Did he? Did he? Oh no, he didn't!"

[Razor Shines]

Oh Georgie...

Ball is already to the wall - "Did he? Did he? Oh no, he didn't!"

"Did he? Did he? I assume John Woo's here and that's just a dove bouncing around behind him, where in the H is the ball?"

LOL Reds

[Tom Servo]

well that didn't work

[Tom Servo]

And now a Blackmon RBI single

3-2 game

[The Operator]

LOL Rockies

[Tom Servo]

aaaaand crap

[Gandalf the Red]

Should be the official title of the 2015 season

[The Operator]

aaaaand crap

Not so fast

[Razor Shines]

Haha

[Ironman92]

Communication issues no bueno

[Tom Servo]

Not so fast
I'm embarassed, but at least I'm not Eddie Butler

[Kc61]

Disco getting hit hard. Rockies pitcher falls down - twice - and thrown out at home.

Strange things.

[SirFelixCat]

Don't see a guy stumble and fall twice. Whew. Be smart here!

[Ironman92]

That was as lucky as Frazier's ball was unlucky the other day

[Razor Shines]

Disco getting hit hard. Rockies pitcher falls down - twice - and thrown out at home.

Strange things.

Like Buzz Lightyear realizing he's just a toy.

[The Operator]

Generous call on strike two to Tulo.

[Red Raindog]

Don't see a guy stumble and fall twice. Whew. Be smart here!

if he was a Red he would be hurt and out for the year

[Ironman92]

Batter reaches 2nd before Butler made it to 3rd???? He should've been able to jog home with a scratch of instincts. Lord that was a huge huge break

[WrongVerb]

if he was a Red he would be hurt and out for the year


But only after spending 13 days on the active roster being "available."

[Ironman92]

Yes....OUTSTANDING job by Bruce????????

[The Operator]

But only after spending 13 days on the active roster being "available.""He can't pitch right now, it hurts his arm too bad. But we think he's still valuable as a pinch runner."

[Ironman92]

Scored it a single? A ball off the wall that the batter reaches 2nd easily is a single.

[WrongVerb]

Ramon Santiago was released from the Blue Jays AAA club.

[Gandalf the Red]

if he was a Red he would be hurt and out for the year

Then spend the next year getting rehabbed on the Reds' dime before signing with the Cardinals for his career year.

[Kc61]

Disco v. Tulo.

[Tom Servo]

so that inning could have gone better, but it also could have gone worse.

[WrongVerb]

"He can't pitch right now, it hurts his arm too bad. But we think he's still valuable as a pinch runner."

And when they finally were no longer in need of his pinch running skills, they'd place him on the DL, send a bench player down and bring up 2 pitchers. For Price's comfort, of course.

[Chip R]

I don't think 3 runs will win this game.

[The Operator]

And when they finally were no longer in need of his pinch running skills, they'd place him on the DL, send a bench player down and bring up 2 pitchers. For Price's comfort, of course.I think Price is slowly working his way toward being the landmark manager to pioneer the 17-man pitching staff.

[WrongVerb]

so that inning could have gone better, but it also could have gone worse.

I've had the same thing said to me in bed.

- - - Updated - - -

18. Lorenzen and Cingrani can split time in the outfield when they're not pitching. It would have been 19 but Leake is about to be traded.

[Ironman92]

so that inning could have gone better, but it also could have gone worse.

They were so fortunate

Is that a single for Bruce?

[WrongVerb]

Well, I was trying to keep it family friendly. :devil:

[Gandalf the Red]

Is that a single for Bruce?

If Hal Morris is honest with himself, he's saying he wouldn't have done any better.

[The Operator]

Well, I was trying to keep it family friendly. :devil:LOL. I always have to be "that guy" at work.

Someone will make a double entendre and I of course have to jump in with "So that we're all on the same page, you're implying that..."

[Tom Servo]

How happy is George to have outlived the Best Damn Sports Show Period?

[Kc61]

The patented lead off double, man left on base, no runs scored Reds half inning.

[Red Raindog]

so that inning could have gone better

fixed it for you for the Reds' half inning

[Big Klu]

How happy is George to have outlived the Best Damn Sports Show Period?

Man, I forgot all about that show!

[Tom Servo]

now it's a tie game

[Ironman92]

So lucky last inning....Disco throwing BP a bit

[SirFelixCat]

Disco has become a piñata in the last inning. Glad he only gave up one. BP time in the 7th on, IMO.

[Ironman92]

Corey Dickerson with a rare out against the Reds

[mbgrayson]

Five pitch inning there for Disco. Too bad that included a CarGo HR....

[Tom Servo]

[Ironman92]

I'm still having trouble....can someone explain to me (so I can disagree wholeheartedly) about how LeMahieu was only given a single on that crazy play where the pitcher fell down? Replay shows pitcher wiped out on ground, Blackmon on 3rd and LeMahieu 1 step from second when the throw hits Phillips' glove.

[The Operator]

I didn't realize The Rockies had "The Dude" hidden away in their bullpen.

http://chssoccer.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/dude-hands.jpg

[BCubb2003]

Maybe he's more of a jabroni.

[The Operator]

Boy, Rockies bullpen numbers even worse than The Reds.

Movable object, meet stoppable force.

Could the fact that no one covered first have something to do with it?

Coors Field double?

[Tom Servo]

Don't know about leaving Disco in after that 2 out hit.

[WrongVerb]

Coors Field double?

Yes, because a grounder through the infield and into the gap with a fast runner running never turns into a double in any other ballpark.

[Ironman92]

That is so dumb. So if a runner on 3rd holds on a bunt hit....it's not a hit? If Billy Hamilton hits a gapper and Cueto doesn't score from 1st....Hamilton can't get a triple.

Stupid

[Tom Servo]

chess match between two loser managers on two loser ballclubs

[WrongVerb]

Don't know about leaving Disco in after that 2 out hit.

What do you mean? Disco has at least 35 pitches left in that arm. No need to take a starter out before he reaches 120 pitches, especially when you only have 8 relievers in the pen.

[The Operator]

Nice play BP.

[Tom Servo]

DatDude tho

Fortunate he was covering and skillful that he made the play cleanly. Thank God no Thom though.

And a lefty hitter. Much harder to execute, the catcher can see everything, not that that matter that time.

[corkedbat]

Hamilton needs to go. If you can't bat any higher than ninth, at least be able to bunt a fastball.

They are going to win it in the 9th silly wabbit

I'm trying to keep perspective on Hoover, he was great until these last two outings...but it seems the mirage of the low K/9 rate and absurdly low HR/9 rate were bound to lead to trouble.

[Ironman92]

Gonzo looked horrible on the 2-0 curve and then you throw a meat pitch. Why? Who calls the pitches?

Hoover throws way too many fastballs...always has

[Roy Tucker]

It's just one of those years. I've seen this movie before.

[Ironman92]

I'll bet -$1,000 that we win this game.

Hoover throws way too many fastballs...always has

A fast ball with no movement....straight cheese.

[Ironman92]

It's just one of those years. I've seen this movie before.

Yeah....definitely not suitable for kids

On paper, the Reds should have been a competitive team. They just seem to choke under pressure.

But only during baseball games. Otherwise, no problem.

[George Foster]

I'll bet -$1,000 that we win this game.

/Claven'd Pete rose ain't walking through that door!!!

[Ironman92]

A fast ball with no movement....straight cheese.

Well....his first 100 career appearances it was at least deceptively fast.

CarGo not impressed

[Tom Servo]

Well, we did always do well against Axford.

[The Operator]

Let's go all Opening Day 2011 on Axford here.

[Banshee]

Vottomatic laughs at the Axe, HR!

[Ironman92]

Hey guise....we have two really good glove men at 2nd

[The Operator]

JOEY!

Tie ball game!!!

[George Foster]

The Rockies have a Hoover too

[Ironman92]

Lol at Ax

[Chip R]

That was a non-elite, selfish HR.

[Roy Tucker]

Someone wake up George.

[Tom Servo]

That Votto is so hot right now! :jump:

[Banshee]

That was a non-elite, selfish HR.

Rally killer.

[WVRedsFan]

Amazing Joey. It's obvious we have three or four good players on this team. None of them are named Hoover, Hamilton, or Barnhart.

[Ironman92]

Who pitches the 9th? Go!

[The Operator]

The look on that Rockies fan's face when the ball bounces right in front of him was great.

Kinda "Oh god, here we go again." I've seen that a lot at GABP too.

[Kc61]

Amazing Joey. It's obvious we have three or four good players on this team. None of them are named Hoover, Hamilton, or Barnhart.

Barnhart got three intentional walks tonight. Very unusual. So, there's that.

[George Foster]

Lol at Axdoes Ax have a cut of the 1000 bet?��

[The Operator]

That Votto is so hot right now! :jump:Agreed. He is quite an attractive man.

[Ironman92]

Cueto
Chapman
Frazier
Votto

Is that all you're giving? And you said "or"....which one of those are you debating?

[Ironman92]

does Ax have a cut of the 1000 bet?��

I'm going to have to google the Cliff Claven on Jeopardy it looks

[Chip R]

Who pitches the 9th? Go!

Depends on if it's tied or the Reds are winning. If it's tied, you could theoretically send Hoover back out there.

[WVRedsFan]

Cueto
Chapman
Frazier
Votto

Is that all you're giving? And you said "or"....which one of those are you debating?:)
Neither. Exaggerating...

[Tom Servo]

All these years and George has no idea what 'blooped' and 'nubbed' mean in a baseball context
