[Wolves198921]

That lineup should be capable of not only ending our losing streak but our blowout loss streak as well.

[Tom Servo]

Another tough test for Finnegan, the Cards tagged him pretty good last year, Carpenter in particular.

No Frog on Frog violence this year.

Cozart grounds out to Jerk-o

I hate the stupid cardinals and their stupid fans.

Eugene grounds out to one of the other idiots.

Votto flies out to some cardinal player that I don't even care to name.

[Tom Servo]

lol I forgot about George and 'overshifting'.

[RedlegJake]

aaargh...I hate walks

[OnBaseMachine]

At this point I would rather see the pitchers throw the ball underhanded to get the ball over the plate and give up 15 solo home runs compared to this.

[Tom Servo]

Scoreless first for Finnegan, two walks though to one strikeout.

[Raisor]

Finnegan walks a couple of the evil ones but gets out of the inning without giving up a run.

Lets call it a victory.

[RedlegJake]

Good thing is I don't believe they'll hit Finney if he gets it over the plate. Bad thing is he's heading for 5 innings then it'll be back to the pen

[texasdave]

Reds hitters make Wainwright work hard in the first. 6 pitches. :p

[RedlegJake]

BP made Wainwright throw as many pitches to get him as he threw the whole first inning. That's bad facing a guy who has had control problems so far

[RedlegJake]

1-2-3 for the Reds in 2nd

[Tom Servo]

Oh Schebler...

[OnBaseMachine]

Maybe don't play guys out of position with a young pitcher on the mound? Just a thought.

[Tom Servo]

I have no idea why the Reds think guys like Schebler and Boesch can play CF. But then this is the team that had Choo there for an entire year.

[Big Klu]

I'm glad Hamilton isn't out there.

[Big Klu]

I have no idea why the Reds think guys like Schebler and Boesch can play CF. But then this is the team that had Choo there for an entire year.

George Foster played quite a bit in CF in the early and mid-70's, even after he locked down the LF job.

[Tom Servo]

Two on, two out for the dreaded Matt Carpenter.

[Tom Servo]

Carpenter strikes again, little single to center. 1-0 Cardinals.

[OnBaseMachine]

Unearned run. But don't pitch behind in the count to every batter and you won't have to throw pitches right down the middle.

[Gandalf the Red]

Schebler's punishment may be to pitch a few innings.

[Tom Servo]

HR Piscotty. 4-0 Cards. Sigh.

[The Operator]

Unearned run. But don't pitch behind in the count to every batter and you won't have to throw pitches right down the middle.
Growing pains for sure, but I'm also going back to why Finnegan had to throw another 25-30 pitches in his last start. Stuff doesn't look as sharp today.

Getting more annoyed the more I think about this. What a smart man that Bryan Price is.

[Tom Servo]

Finnegan's previous career high in pitches was 88. Let's have him throw 111! Nothing could go wrong when his next matchup is one of the most patient teams in baseball currently in the midst of their own personal HR Derby.

[marcshoe]

This is just a suggestion and probably wouldn't work, but has anybody considered just not giving up three-run homers any longer? I'll hang up and listen to the answer. Thanks.

[membengal]

Nods head.

Some of those unearned runs were less unearned than others.

[Tom Servo]

Finnegan with the best at-bat and only hit for the Reds so far.

[Ron Madden]

I'd rather watch Finnegan hit than Tyler Holt..

[Tom Servo]

I'd rather watch Finnegan hit than Tyler Holt..
Agreed, though I'd rather have Tyler Holt playing CF than Scott Schebler.

[Wonderful Monds]

George Foster played quite a bit in CF in the early and mid-70's, even after he locked down the LF job.

Didn't Johnny Bench play a handful of games in CF?

[OnBaseMachine]

Finnegan hit his spots that inning and went 1-2-3.

[Tom Servo]

Quick scoreless inning for Finny, exactly what he needed.

[Donder]

Getting more annoyed the more I think about this. What a smart man that Bryan Price is.

I think Price is in a tricky situation. He has to figure this is his last chance to win some games and prove himself a capable manager. Knowing what he has in his bullpen I'm afraid he's going to stick with good young starters longer than may be wise. So what's the answer? An improved bullpen would be the ideal answer obviously.

[Raisor]

Votto double-matic.

His name is Joe.

And HE IS CANADIAN!

[marcshoe]

Selfish Votto, doubling with nobody on base. Should have struck out in that situation, when it wouldn't have meant much.

[Knightro28]

Agreed, though I'd rather have Tyler Holt playing CF than Scott Schebler.

I like Schebler. Just not the best day to have him in CF. Billy needs rest, but why is Holt on the team then?

[Wonderful Monds]

Growing pains for sure, but I'm also going back to why Finnegan had to throw another 25-30 pitches in his last start. Stuff doesn't look as sharp today.

Getting more annoyed the more I think about this. What a smart man that Bryan Price is.

I'm starting to believe the "magic" that made Bryan Price a "guru" in hindsight is that he just happened to join the club at the same time the team was starting to call up its most talented young pitchers. And they had all already been developed in the minors, I think maybe it's possible the most he did was just stay out of the way.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[marcshoe]

Votto only scored one run there. BP would have scored twice.

- - - Updated - - -

Seriously, this could be a nice rally, led by the vets.

[BCubb2003]

Mr. Oppage Jay Bruce

[PXShaman]

I like this Jay and Zach. They are sure starting this season hitting.

[Raisor]

Votto's no out double led directly to him scoring later.

[Raisor]

Nasty Ned Pepper grounds into a fielder's choice.

Phillips walk leads to another run.

Evil A-holes 4
Reds 2

[marcshoe]

I want to see the Reds come back in this one. It's early, and it's only two runs now.

[Knightro28]

It looked like Carpenter's high throw took the 2B off of the base. I didn't see any contact.

[Raisor]

Jerk-O up.

I assume that's the correct spelling.

[marcshoe]

Now you guys are saying that Schebler can't play a decent center. No sweat on that one. Didn't even need to lift his glove.

[Larkin11]

Cards announcers being a bunch of Jerk-O's piling on Suarez for his defense.

[Raisor]

I'm at work.

I'm bored.

I took a non-non drowsy allergy pill.

This should be fun.

That was Euge.

[The Operator]

Lolz Finnegan again showing the regulars how to hit.

[Raisor]

Brandon Finnegan is better than you.

[Tom Servo]

lol Finnegan is our best hitter

[Gandalf the Red]

Finnegan's bat may help secure his place in the rotation.

[The Operator]

Hey hey! 4-3

[Big Klu]

It would appear that Finnegan can hit a little bit.

[Raisor]

Grande going out of his way to fawn over Larussa and Dave Duncan, oh and now Molina.

"3 Professors" he calls them. BARF.

[Tom Servo]

Win or lose, seeing the Reds tag Adam Wainwright for several runs always makes me feel good.

[Big Klu]

http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2014/01/Screen-shot-2014-01-21-at-11.47.18-AM.png

And like any good band, a member (in this case, the keyboardist) just got released from jail.

[Tom Servo]

Brandon Moss is a jerko.

[BCubb2003]

It's not an overshift unless the third baseman is on the second-base side of field.

[Raisor]

Brandon Moss is a jerko.

I should probably trademark "jerko" and all derivatives.

[Tom Servo]

Hoping for at least this 5th from Finnegan.

[Raisor]

BF over 90 pitches.

I'd pull him after this inning.

[Tom Servo]

I figured to myself it will be nice after this Cardinals series to not have to face another monster offense again like the Cubs or the Cards for a little bit.

I just looked at the schedule. The next series is against the Rockies. Then it's the Cubs again.

[Big Klu]

I should probably trademark "jerko" and all derivatives.

I don't know. "Jerko", especially when referring to a Cardinal, would be kind of like "Kleenex", "Band-Aids", or "Xerox"...trademarked names that entered public domain due to overuse.

[OnBaseMachine]

Two out walk to Molina. The walls have gotten old really quick.

[Tom Servo]

Well, good job by Finnegan to power through on a day where he didn't have his best stuff. I'm worried about how hard he is being ridden to start this season.

[Big Klu]

Two out walk to Molina. The walls have gotten old really quick.

Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!

Nice swing by Mesoraco, much needed.

Duvall single to center, 1st and 3rd with no outs.

[The Operator]

Reds take the lead!!

[Big Klu]

Take that, jerko!

[Raisor]

Goody Goody Two-Shoes doubles

[PXShaman]

I hope what Finnegan takes from this start, and his other 2, is that first pitch strikes are the difference between a 3 or 4 pitch Ab or a 7 to 8 pitch Ab

[Raisor]

Finnegan pulled.

Marty is aghast.

Not sure if he's on board for the rebuild.

[BCubb2003]

Yea but I heard you were only leaving me an old set of doilies anyway.

Plus I'd have to die first.

Not likely.

[OnBaseMachine]

Nice job by Finnegan today though. His stuff is real. Three plus pitches. You have to love his upside.

The Reds are crushing Wainwright. How many hits has Schebler been robbed of this week?

[Big Klu]

Finnegan pulled.

Marty is aghast.

Not sure if he's on board for the rebuild.

Nah, Marty's just seen the bullpen in action one time (or maybe five or six) too many.

[CySeymour]

Finnegan pulled.

Marty is aghast.

Not sure if he's on board for the rebuild.

Fun began was at 98 pitches. Probably the right move.

[The Operator]

Reds up 8-4 thanks to BP!

Boy those best fans in baseball sure are quiet.

[BCubb2003]

The Cardinals must be rebuilding.

[Tom Servo]

The Cardinals must be rebuilding.
They should have signed John Lackey.

Would have been nice if Phillips coulda made that double play

Umm. hmm. Interesting.

[Big Klu]

Missed hit & run sign by Schebler.

[Tom Servo]

Missed hit & run sign by Schebler.
Schebler isn't exactly a high contact-rate hitter, that had bad idea written all over it with Mesoraco as the runner.

[Tracy Jones]

Throw. Strikes. Please.

[Big Klu]

Looks like a double switch:

Cotham in to pitch, batting 7th
Hamilton in CF, batting 9th (leading off next inning)

Also, Schebler moves from CF to LF

[RedTeamGo!]

Nickname just came to me.

Gyro

Shanks

[Ron Madden]

Looks like Cotham has no control right now

[OnBaseMachine]

Mesoraco with four walks to only two strike outs this season.

[Tom Servo]

Shanks
Baseball Prospectus went with "The Illustrated Man" due to his tattoos, I kinda dig it.

[The Operator]

lol wow

[BluegrassRedleg]

Is this Major League Baseball? Why would you do that with two outs in the 7th inning and a three-run lead?

[The Operator]

Here comes the meltdown.

[Big Klu]

Got to hit the cutoff.

Pretty sure Moscot is Jim Edmonds's father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate.

2 more runs would be really nice here

[PXShaman]

George is really hyping this Moscot debut, I don't think it's really warranted.

I am hyped for him. He kept the ball down in his few starts, and you can't sell him short on his effort. Him and Lorenzan are pitchers that really bring a nice spark to that rotation

I wish Walt & Dick would take a cue from Mozeliak and if he's going to sign ex-members of the other team, make sure they're still capable of contributing.

[Big Klu]

Cingrani is due up 4th this inning. If the Reds go down in order, do you send him back out for the 9th inning?

If his turn actually comes to bat, do you pinch-hit, or do you let him hit for himself?

I think Moscot could slot in a BOR arm, but I don't think he's there yet. He's only made 10 starts in AAA, and the results haven't been great. Not horrible either, but I don't think he's ready to fulfill his MLB innings eating potential right now without getting knocked around.

True, I just think Josh Smith could fill that role as completely fungible arm. Like I said, I think Moscot has the potential to be at least halfway useful, throwing him to the wolves now could prevent that from ever happening.

Understatement of the year by George (master of the obvious) Grande, it's likely to be a challenging 9th for Hoover.

LOL. Same exact thought crossed my mind. Dude signs wiht STL and turns into Cap'n Web Gem.

[Tom Servo]

Great hustle from Holt

[marcshoe]

Hoover's coming in, but let's avoid a great depression.

[Tracy Jones]

Hoover in to pitch to the middle of the order to close out the game.

What could possibly go wrong?

[PXShaman]

I think Moscot could slot in a BOR arm, but I don't think he's there yet. He's only made 10 starts in AAA, and the results haven't been great. Not horrible either, but I don't think he's ready to fulfill his MLB innings eating potential right now without getting knocked around.

I expect him to get hit, I am fine with that get him more reps in the bigs. Look at how much the bigs helped lorenzan, and he was kind of in same boat. We sent him back to Louisville and he pitched a 9 inning shut out.

Let him pitch, let him learn. He at least pitches around the knees, that is a huge skill which is why I fell so in Love with him.

My only concern about Moscot is health. I hope they aren't rushing him back.

I think he has ample minor league experience, in 2014 he pitched 166 innings. Last year he was in the bigs when he got injured.

He's a solid pitcher with excellent control. He's not a huge K rate guy so he's a tough sell to some.

But I think he can be a major league pitcher and I'm glad he's getting the start tomorrow.
