When's the last time the Reds won a series in St. Louis?

[Ironman92]

When's the last time the Reds won a series in St. Louis?

I think they said they haven't won one since 2011

[NebraskaRed]

I think they said they haven't won one since 2011

2011 was a bad year. This is a bad year.

They win this game, and win the series.

Or not, whatever.

[villain612]

When's the last time the Reds won a series in St. Louis?

I'm not sure but here was the victory celebration:

[Ironman92]

Go Reds!

[Bourgeois Zee]

It'd be nice if this series marked the date in which the Cardinals collapsed, lost the pennant, lost the wildcard, and generally lost the Cardinal Way.

[_Sir_Charles_]

It'd be nice if this series marked the date in which the Cardinals collapsed, lost the pennant, lost the wildcard, and generally lost the Cardinal Way.

And their car keys, don't forget the car keys.

[villain612]

It'd be nice if this series marked the date in which the Cardinals collapsed, lost the pennant, lost the wildcard, and generally lost the Cardinal Way.

I kind of want the Cardinals to continue their winning ways. Beat the 2001 Mariners for best record ever.

Then get bounced in the first round of the playoffs with a sweep by the wild card winner.

He's dreaming if a Servo/Votto/Fay three way.

Like all of us.

Hopefully, he's just looking down into a dictionary or his phone's spell-checker. Unfotunetly, he prolly aint.

Is that what they mean when they talk about Skyline three way?

[villain612]

Since the Reds don't have a true leadoff hitter....I say screw it, put Votto there.

[Tom Servo]

DFA Votto

What did the crappy Canadian do this time?

[_Sir_Charles_]

What did the crappy Canadian do this time?

He put down Nibbles. The bastard.

[Raisor]

He put down Nibbles. The bastard.
Nooooooooo

[Tom Servo]

Kelch, it's Holliday who is hurt, not Carpenter. And you just said before Carpenter walked on 4 pitches when it was 5. Get it together, man.

[757690]

Holliday looks hurt.

Cue Piscotty to go on huge tear and win the ROY on his place.

[_Sir_Charles_]

LOL. I was so busy playing around with the rumor thread and Votto/Nibbles I didn't realize the game started. :O)

[BCubb2003]

The Cardinals do have a lot of Matts. Maybe we should get us some.

[Banshee]

BRUUCE HR!

[villain612]

I hope Chris Carpenter's son is okay.

[Tom Servo]

Bruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuce! :jump:

1-0 Redlegs

:jump: BRUUUUUUCE! Tuned in JUST in time. :O)

[BluegrassRedleg]

Boom. Trade value week!

He hit it too high..(flashback of Major League)

[Raisor]

Bruce homers.

You're welcome.

Bruce promised he'd hit two homeruns for him before the game. Halfway there.

[BluegrassRedleg]

We gotta get Bruce to 200 on Big Klu's list before he's dealt.

[Big Klu]

We gotta get Bruce to 200 on Big Klu's list before he's dealt.

He's not going anywhere, at least not this year.

[_Sir_Charles_]

He's not going anywhere, at least not this year.

I agree.

[BCubb2003]

I like Kelch OK, but he's having a bad night tonight.

[757690]

Kelsh keeps messing up. That DMT must have kicked in a little too early tonight ;)

[_Sir_Charles_]

I don't think I've ever seen that play where Holliday got injured before. They failed to turn the double play...but Matt failed to touch first base as he went straight into the dugout limping. Umps called him out.

[Banshee]

Bunt Billy Bunt.

[Big Klu]

I like Kelch OK, but he's having a bad night tonight.

He's had a rough time tonight. We might have to go to the pen early.

George or THom?

[kaldaniels]

That really is a bunt double, if not triple...right?

[WrongVerb]

Best bunt I've ever seen Billy put down.

[NebraskaRed]

I liked that faker leg kick Hamilton did there before he bunted.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Billy swipes #47

[Banshee]

He's had a rough time tonight. We might have to go to the pen early.

George or THom?

They'll have to play through the slump.

[NebraskaRed]

I like watching Hamilton steal in general, but there's something special about watching him steal against Molina.

[villain612]

Eat it Molina.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Votto 0-2. Clearly Nibbles' passing is bothering him.

[Raisor]

Eat it Molina.

Maybe the neck tat screws up his throwing motion

[_Sir_Charles_]

[Tom Servo]

nice bat flip on strike 2, Carpenter

[Banshee]

Nice job by Disco so far, despite a couple walks.

The matrix is calling:

I mention "neck tat" and google ad shows a tattoo removal ad with a guy with a neck tat.

[Tom Servo]

Ugh, that MLB.com list is trash. Please don't pay it much heed, Reds fans.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Time for #200 Jay.

[Tom Servo]

Time for #200 Jay.
Looked like it was just off the end of the bat.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Looked like it was just off the end of the bat.

Yep. It was the 200th time in his career he's done that.

[NebraskaRed]

Lackey with 6 K's in 4 innings.

[_Sir_Charles_]

I was going to post the list of Reds 100-Fly Out Off The End Of The Bat Club but I was afraid Big Klu might take offense.

[Tom Servo]

Lackey with 6 K's in 4 innings.
I'd say he looks in line for a CG, but I thought that last night with Garcia and then he got tagged by the angry Canadian murderbot.

Just as in football... in acting, Eli is no Payton

[villain612]

He's also no Peyton either.

[Tom Servo]

Will Brayan Pena ever hit another HR in a Reds uniform?

I feel like the answer is no.

[NebraskaRed]

Will Brayan Pena ever hit another HR in a Reds uniform?

I feel like the answer is no.

With the way he runs, I'm thinking he might not ever get another double.

[Tom Servo]

Has Billy gotten so bad that they just plan to have him bunt every time up now?

[_Sir_Charles_]

With the way he runs, I'm thinking he might not ever get another double.

Who was it that he had those races against? Simon?

[Banshee]

Yikes. Completely torn?

I'm sure they don't know yet. A "strain" according to what I've read IS a tear, just depends on the severity of it.

[BluegrassRedleg]

C'mon, man. Neighborhood play. That's weaksauce. :thumbdown:

[ac084c]

I'm sure they don't know yet. A "strain" according to what I've read IS a tear, just depends on the severity of it.

Same quad he strained earlier in the year. Wouldn't rule out a complete tear.

[villain612]

C'mon Suarez.

[Raisor]

Has Billy gotten so bad that they just plan to have him bunt every time up now?

I'd like to see this for the rest of the season. No one would believe they would do it.

[Tom Servo]

C'mon Suarez.
Probably more on Votto with the throw that pulled him off. I never knew the subtle nuances of the neighborhood play before the last few weeks.

[757690]

I think Welch and. Kelch are wrong. The throw did not take him off the bag.

[Ironman92]

Same quad he strained earlier in the year. Wouldn't rule out a complete tear.

Yeah...I think he might be done this season. To not even touch the base to save an out...must've been bad

[villain612]

Probably more on Votto with the throw that pulled him off. I never knew the subtle nuances of the neighborhood play before the last few weeks.

Yeah, after watching the replay, was not a great throw.

[BluegrassRedleg]

I think Welch and. Kelch are wrong. The throw did not take him off the bag.

Agree. On second glance, he could have stuck on the bag. Not sure he would have turned 2 if he did, but at least Lackey would have been running.

[Ironman92]

Yeah, after watching the replay, was not a great throw.

No...but with Lackey running I feel he could've stretched more like a first baseman and still threw out Lackey

[_Sir_Charles_]

I'm sure they don't know yet. A "strain" according to what I've read IS a tear, just depends on the severity of it.

Oh. Well, still not pleasant. I know he's a cardinal and all...but I never like to see a guy get hurt.

[Ironman92]

Since the Reds don't have a true leadoff hitter....I say screw it, put Votto there.

Working for the Jays and Tulo tonight

[WrongVerb]

I've got 15 300 games in the past 7 years and couldn't sniff the PBA.

That said, good luck Brandon.

Also, every time you bowl a 300 you get an entry at the Bowling Hall of Fame. So I'm IN there. :D

Humble brag

[Tom Servo]

Lackey has certainly kept Votto and Frazier in check. No hits, no walks, 2 Ks on both of them.

[NebraskaRed]

scoring only 1 run isn't going to win this game

Foul outs are the worst.

Worried about this spot here after the 2 out HBP. Disco can struggle with lefties and Heyward is already 1-1 with a walk.

Frank Briell, John Burkett and Tom Candiotti played in MLB and PBA.

[Ironman92]

I don't have the foggiest idea what Welsh was talking about with Adam Dunn hitting his 40th HR in game 163 of 2012 for the Reds.

His last flipping season was 2008 with Reds and he was traded during the season.

In 2007 he had exactly 40 HR for Reds but didn't play final week of season.

Really nice outing for Disco (so far) against a tough team.

I think he missed the part where Kelch said 2012, and thought he was referring to a time Dunn almost broke the record as a Red.

[Tom Servo]

Barnhart usually catches Disco, right? Despite the results it looks like Disco and Pena have been on different planets most of the night.


7 shutout frames for Disco, though I don't think Bryan Price knows to leave well enough alone and will have him out there in the 8th.

[NebraskaRed]

Hoover in 8th, Chapman in 9th.

But it'll probably be Disco who will walk someone and then serve up a 2-run home run after.

[Ironman92]

Bryce Harper hit two monster shots in Miami...2nd one went halfway up the upper deck.

So they're saying that Bruuce's HR was an inside the parker, was in play the whole time. Go figure.:thumbup:

No doubt. First time shutting out the Cards in consecutive games on the road since 1937

A doubleheader sweep on July 11, 1937.

6-0 in the first game. Peaches Davis pitched a nine-hit shutout.
7-0 in the second game. All Hollingsworth pitched a six-hit shutout.

**** you cardinalsI got warned and nearly banned for that back in 2011. This board has loosened up. By the way, I agree!!

Really?

Really?

That's what Bruuce and the reds talking heads affirmed after the game. Said the ball stayed on top of the wall and was "in play". About time for a little luck for the redlegs.

The fact they haven't won a single series in STL in 4 years/seasons until tonight's 2-hit epic win seems just as newsworthy.

I thought that watching live...that coupled with the crazy Holliday not touching the base...got a couple breaks

I thought Grichuk should have had it but it sure looked like the ball touched the grass behind the wall. Fences shouldn't be made so that a ball can "roll" on top of one.

Yes, the ball definitely rolled around in the grass. Meaning, they may have called inside the park HR, but if they did they would be wrong. No reason to replay it either way, I guess, since he ran all the way around the bases.

I wondered about that when he hit it. I never saw the umpire give the signal for a home run. Good thing Bruce ran all the way. But it would have been overturned if called a double.
