The roof is open, Bernie the Brewer decreed it so.

[Banshee]

Votto didn't walk last night, said w/ such pride from tHommy. *sniff*

I agree with you, and disagree with Razor in this discussion.

[Raisor]

He's an imposter.

I have to say I like the high socks better than stirrups.

I tell my teams "you only look stupid if you suck"

[Tom Servo]

Lamb gets Lucroy to flail at strike 3, not easy to do.

But Braun swings at the first pitch over the plate and homers. 1-0 Milwaukee.

[757690]

Very Lamb like inning. Looks great except for one poorly placed pitch. He just needs more consistency.

[OnBaseMachine]

That changeup to Lucroy was nasty. It's a true plus pitch. He should probably scrap the curveball vs RH batters, though.

[Ironman92]

Frazier having some good BABIP....good to see him back a bit

[Ironman92]

Might be a matchup to get Suarez going again

[Tom Servo]

Frazier double, Suarez groundout, and Pena hopper up the middle ties up the game 1-1.

[Ironman92]

Infield in....would love an in depth analysis of if it works enough to be used so much.

[WVRedsFan]

Skippy is the strikeout King. Glad when they take him out of the lineup

[Tom Servo]

Yesiree!

[Ironman92]

You guys don't have a lot to say. Kind of strange for being on a message board.

Actually we were sexting. Luckily we didn't get too far before we realized we were actually on RedsZone.

Just shell shocked over the board's epic failure last nught :)

[Ironman92]

EE doesn't seem like a 25 game hit streak GUY

[Ironman92]

Votto on his way to being the new age Andre Dawson of 1987

[Tom Servo]

Votto on his way to being the new age Andre Dawson of 1987
Dawson is in the HOF, but was he elite?

[WVRedsFan]

Lamb appears to be a thrower and not a pitcher. Much potential but not ready for prime time.

Proven himself in AAA, nothing left but to learn at the major league level.

[Raisor]

We want a pitcher, not a belly itcher.
We want a batter, not a broken ladder

[Tom Servo]

Lucroy with a jam shot line drive over Frazier's head to drive in the run with 2 outs. 2-1 Milwaukee.

[Tom Servo]

Out of trouble by getting Braun to flail at the same changeup he got Lucroy to flail at.

I stay patient with Lamb, the talent is there.

[OnBaseMachine]

Another nasty changeup to K Braun. Unfortunately he made a bad pitch to Maldonado.

[Razor Shines]

Please don't get back to this after the break.

[Tom Servo]

The downside of the departed Byrd's influence on Suarez rearing it's head of late, he's swinging a lot and not just the balls he should be swinging at.

[Tom Servo]

Yesiree!

[Raisor]

I'll just leave this here

@JoeyNOTto: @MsgandDataRates @PSR1973 Brandon Phillips has been the Reds best player this year. Best in baseball on D, very good hitter

[Tom Servo]

Nice 1-2-3 5th inning for Lamb, 7 strikeouts on the day.

[Tom Servo]

Votto robbed of a 3rd single by Herrera.

[Raisor]

Votto robbed of a 3rd single by Herrera.

Doesn't he have a double?

[Tom Servo]

Doesn't he have a double?
Nope, the 2nd one looked like it had double distance but he was held to a single.


Frazier doesn't miss putting the Reds ahead by much after a two out BP double.

[RiverRat13]

Lamb with 28 K's to 5 BB's in four starts thus far.

[RedTeamGo!]

I like lamb. The meat and the pitcher.

[Tom Servo]

omg Chris got Thom started on anti-sabermetrics

[Razor Shines]

Mercy

[wolfboy]

Junior Brenneman sounding like an idiot as always bashing statistical analysis.

[ukredleg]

Chris must've fancied 10 minutes without talking

[WVRedsFan]

Lamb appears to be a thrower and not a pitcher. Much potential but not ready for prime time.

Maybe I was a little hasty in my earlier analysis.

[Tom Servo]

Another strong inning from Lamb. 6 innings, 5 hits, 0 walks, 8 Ks, 2 ER so far.

[OnBaseMachine]

Lamb gets squeezed then K's Braun on a really good breaking ball. I didn't know he had that in him. 0 BB/8 K in six innings.

[OnBaseMachine]

Thom, I'm going to need names of those who completely dismissed Josh Donaldson as a MVP candidate. I think you made that up.

[BCubb2003]

I dream of a day when Chris doesn't have to apologize for bringing up sabermetrics.

[Tom Servo]

Suarez puts a charge into one caught at the wall.

[WVRedsFan]

By the way, the new Col Sanders is step up from the creepy one. Strange they changed that so soon. Maybe he made the little kids cry. Back to baseball.

[Tom Servo]

Lamb done after a two out hit by Skippy means a PH spot for De Jesus. Guess it makes sense in a one run game, but Lamb sure looked like he could go for a 7th.

[Big Klu]

The old one was Darrell Hammond. The new one is fellow SNL alumnus Norm Macdonald.

[BCubb2003]

Thanks, Walt.

[Ironman92]

Dawson is in the HOF, but was he elite?

I just know he was scary as hell

[Ironman92]

Not sure of his season innings total or if he is on the watch list.....but I would have liked for Lamb to pitch the 7th

[Tom Servo]

Nice pick and throw deep in the hole by the error prone Suarez.

[Razor Shines]

Well Lamb clearly still has a lot to learn about pitching in the Major Leagues. And he could learn it from Sampson. Lamb need to be more of a leader to the offense and inspire them to score more than one run in 6 innings.

[Fil3232]

29K/5BB now in 22.1IP for Lamb after today.

It's the hair.

[Ironman92]

For you guys when Thom tries to talk sabermetrics it's the same for me as when Suarez makes a nice play but credit is given to taking infield balls along with Phillips.

It's idiotic. Ryan Klesko used to take OF flies with Andruw Jones....but it's just moo.

[Ironman92]

I give Lamb a C- for today.

[Tom Servo]

Bruce just missed a HR, double off the wall instead.

[Red Raindog]

Like I didn't say last night
Meet the new #2 hole hitter
[emoji3]

[Ironman92]

Clutch Joseph?

[Tom Servo]

Clutch Joseph?
He'll "hand off the responsibility" to BP, because he's selfish.

[Razor Shines]

He'll "hand off the responsibility" to BP, because he's selfish.

What a ridiculous comment. Sure he should have rolled over on one of those breaking balls outside and moved Bruce to third because a productive out is better than a walk.

[Big Klu]

He'll "hand off the responsibility" to BP, because he's selfish.

I was wondering if I was the only one who caught that backhanded compliment.

The whole Votto-Phillips dynamic in a nutshell.

[Raisor]

I'm so glad I'm blacked out from getting Thommy

[Tom Servo]

Thom couldn't stop bringing up the double play Votto hit into in the first game against the Brewers when they were down 3-0, somehow I don't think that will be the case with BP's today.

[Big Klu]

"If Votto could have advanced Bruce to 3rd with a ground ball, then Brandon wouldn't have grounded into a double play!"

[Big Klu]

We've just entered the metaverse, people. THom is talking about people talking too much and sounding like fools.

[_Sir_Charles_]

:( And Sam is no longer unscored upon. 3-1 Brewers

[Tom Servo]

This one looks ovah.

[BCubb2003]

Thom is at the bargaining stage of sabermetrics. He's on his way to acceptance.

[Raisor]

This one looks ovah.

Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

[Raisor]

Stop the madness

Does Baseball Prospectus still do the stupid quote feature? Maybe they can do an all Thommy edition

Does anyone even go to that site anymore? They lost their mojo some time ago, I say this as a former member too

I don't, which is why I was asking :)

[WVRedsFan]

Game over. Reds lose again. Score 12 one night and 1 the next. Another nail in the coffin of last place

[Tom Servo]

We're bad again.

[Razor Shines]

Well I blame the loss on Votto for walking with Bruce on second in the 8th and obviously Lamb for not being a leader and not doing what he had to do to win.

[westofyou]

Thom Brenneman "The Enunciator" never utters a fact without injecting a dramatic highlight in his diction.

It's exhausting

We need a team of 12 Brandon Phillips' and 13 Alfredo Simon's.
