[marcshoe]

I'm interested in seeing Adelman's second outing. He actually looked as if he might be competent, what with him throwing strikes and all. I haven't seen either of the last two games because the semester is ending, but I just turned in my last bit of work, I think, and I'm ready for a game.

[757690]

If Adelman, Simon and Straily can all average 5-6 IP a game for awhile, that would be a big help for the Reds in terms of protecting the pen and the young prospects. I am cautiously optimistic that they can.

[Ron Madden]

Adleman pitched far better than I expected last time out. Lets hope he spins a gem tonight.

[RedTeamGo!]

May the Sith

[PXShaman]

Is the Reds broadcast buzzing for anyone else? It stops when it goes to commercial it is only broadcast, it hurts my ears so bad.

[Red Raindog]

1-2-3 for our new hero on the mound

[RedTeamGo!]

Is the Reds broadcast buzzing for anyone else? It stops when it goes to commercial it is only broadcast, it hurts my ears so bad.

No, it's just you.

[Tom Servo]

Quick 1-2-3 first for Adleman with 1 K

[Ron Madden]

1-2-3 first for Adleman..

[757690]

I don't know if I am more impressed that the Reds saw something in Adelman that no one else did, or disappointed that they thought that Melville was ahead of him.

[Reds Fanatic]

Cozart hit that hard but right to Carter

[Tom Servo]

Norris Hopper reference

[Reds Fanatic]

Votto homers to center! 1-0 Reds!

[Ron Madden]

Joey goes deep!!!

[Tom Servo]

Votto! :jump:

1-0 Redlegs!

[tomnuetten]

I like good Joey :)

[Red Raindog]

doesn't Votto still only have one double?

:p

[Tom Servo]

I need a gif of the Votto/BP HR celebration

[androosh]

Can we say he's Vottomatic again, yet? Or is this still a small sample size for the year?

[Reds Fanatic]

Phillips grounds out. 1-0 Reds after 1

[Tom Servo]

Votto OPS alert: We've broken .700.

It's .724 right now.

[Reds Fanatic]

Votto goes down trying to field the throw from Suarez. His hand got caught kind of strange trying to tag Carter. But I guess he is ok

[Reds Fanatic]

That really looks like he should be out on the tag

[DocRed]

Wow...terrible call from the fat umps

[Tom Servo]

Is there a rule for how long you need to keep possession of the ball? Cause Carter was out for a good several seconds before the ball came loose.

Nice play by Suarez btw, he muffed one of those bare handers earlier in the year.

[Gainesville Red]

Looked like a good way to sort of tear something in his shoulder or something.

I was concerned.

[Ron Madden]

Looked like he kept his foot on the bag to me, then droped the ball when he hit the ground.

[Reds Fanatic]

Call stands he is safe

[DocRed]

Wow....can't wait till we get rid of umps altogether.

[Red Raindog]

wow --- MLB gets it wrong - again

[Big Klu]

Looked like a good way to sort of tear something in his shoulder or something.

I was concerned.

Cliff Floyd suffered a major injury on a play just like that while playing 1B for Les Expos early in his career.

several seconds of slowmotion video.. real time it was most likely not even a full second ;)

[Reds Fanatic]

Nieuwenhuis walks. 1st and 2nd

[Tom Servo]

Looking like that play at 1st could haunt Adleman, could really use a DP.

[Reds Fanatic]

Hill grounds out to Adelman. Runners to 2nd and 3rd

[RiverRat13]

Reds starters with the third worst BB rate in MLB.

[Reds Fanatic]

Walsh strikes out swinging

[Tom Servo]

Walsh strikes out swinging
And then he said a naughy word.

[Reds Fanatic]

Intentional walk to Maldonado

[Ron Madden]

I like this move.

[tomnuetten]

come on ump, that was a k....

[Tom Servo]

Where did that miss?

oh nm way in lol

Adleman escapes tho

[Reds Fanatic]

6-4 FC to end the inning. 1-0 Reds mid 2nd

[Reds Fanatic]

Infield hit by Bruce into the shift

[Reds Fanatic]

Suarez strikes out

[Reds Fanatic]

Duvall lines a double to left center. 2-0 Reds!

[mbgrayson]

[Ron Madden]

Double for Duvall Bruce scores from 1st

[Tom Servo]

Love me some Duvall

[Reds Fanatic]

Barnhart lines a single to right. Duvall is out by a mile at home

[tomnuetten]

why? I don´t get it

needed a terrible throw to score...

[Tom Servo]

why? I don´t get it
Was very well played by Milwaukee. Still a somewhat questionable send though.

[Ron Madden]

Not sure why Hatcher sent Duvall home on that play

[Reds Fanatic]

Adelman strikes out looking. 2-0 Reds after 2

[Reds Fanatic]

Villar grounds out to 1st

[Tom Servo]

I wouldn't recommend walking Alex Presley, especially in front of Ryan Braun.

[Reds Fanatic]

Braun singles to left. 1st and 2nd

[BUTLER REDSFAN]

Trying to watch the game but the white haired morticia to the right of home plate is too distracting

[Reds Fanatic]

3 Ks for Adelman. 2-0 Reds mid 3rd

[Ron Madden]

BIG K right there

[Tom Servo]

Nice tight-rope walking by Adleman.

['69]

Heh. "Morticia"

[marcshoe]

Alternative explanation for the stat they just showed: those other teams are over .500 because they've played the Reds, Braves, and Diamondbacks.

[Reds Fanatic]

Cozart continues to rake. Double down the left field line

[Ron Madden]

Zack whacks a double down the LF line

[Tom Servo]

That's not a Jedi, that's a Pilot in the Alliance, Jim, you clod.


And as always, if you don't believe in the Cozart Revolution, you can get out of my damn face. Walk on 3-2? Hell no. Double.

[Reds Fanatic]

Hamilton grounds out to 2nd. Cozart to 3rd

[Red Raindog]

Barnhart lines a single to right. Duvall is out by a mile at home

I measured it at 1.15 miles

[Reds Fanatic]

Phillips homers to left!!!! 5-0 Reds!

[tomnuetten]

playing the brewers is nice :)

['69]

BP!

[Red Raindog]

I was hoping for a deep fly ball to get Cozart in -- BP exceeded my hopes!

[Ron Madden]

HR #4 for Phillips!

[Tom Servo]

Bruh look at DatDude! :jump:

[Reds Fanatic]

Bruce grounds out to 1st

[Kilgore_Trout]

BP looks like he's poised to silence his fiercest critics.

[Tracy Jones]

Adelman actually looks like a major league pitcher. I think he's gotta stay up and be in the pen at least

['69]

It'd be great if he stays hot and gets 200 as a Red.

[Kilgore_Trout]

Adelman actually looks like a major league pitcher. I think he's gotta stay up and be in the pen at least

I agree. I realize it's only two games, but I'll be pulling for him. He's had a long and interesting road to the majors and it doesn't look like he wants to leave.

[Tracy Jones]

It'd be great if he stays hot and gets 200 as a Red.

He's got until next year to do it. I'm sure he'll get there.

[Kilgore_Trout]

It'd be great if he stays hot and gets 200 as a Red.

I was thinking the same thing. He's already in some fine company.

['69]

Adelman actually looks like a major league pitcher. I think he's gotta stay up and be in the pen at least

He does, he and Lamb seem to have that look, imo.

[Reds Fanatic]

Walsh singles to right

[Reds Fanatic]

Maldonado barely hit by the pitch

[Tracy Jones]

I agree. I realize it's only two games, but I'll be pulling for him. He's had a long and interesting road to the majors and it doesn't look like he wants to leave.

Yeah it is only two games, but like Welsh said, he appears unafraid to throw strikes. That by itself puts him ahead of the curve when compared to most of the rest of this staff.

[Reds Fanatic]

Cravy sacrifices the runners to 2nd and 3rd with 2 outs.

[Reds Fanatic]

Another K for Adelman ends the inning. 5-0 Reds mid 4th

[Tracy Jones]

He does, he and Lamb seem to have that look, imo.

Yeah him too. Still think Lamb is best suited for the pen though. I think he could end up being a dominant reliever.

[Reds Fanatic]

Barnhart lines out to center

[marcshoe]

Weird to hear Chris talking about how Maldanado's gear resembles a storm trooper; that's what I always thought about Eli Marrero when he was catching for the Cards, and now he's a Reds' employee.

[Reds Fanatic]

Adelman grounds out to short.

Reds announcers should just stop discussing Star Wars they are completely clueless

['69]

Yeah him too. Still think Lamb is best suited for the pen though. I think he could end up being a dominant reliever.

Same here. I think right now he's a slow warm-up guy, for what that's worth.

[Reds Fanatic]

Cozart flies out to center. 5-0 Reds after 4

[Reds Fanatic]

Presley homers to right. 5-1 Reds

[Tom Servo]

Alright I know we're winning, but stop making Alex Presley look like a good hitter. He's not.

[757690]

It seems this series, the role of Billy Hall is being played by Alex Presley.

[Reds Fanatic]

Braun grounds out in front of the plate

[Ron Madden]

Nice Grab Votto!!!

[Red Raindog]

doesn't Votto still only have one double?

[Tom Servo]

doesn't Votto still only have one double?
Two

['69]

Nice play by Votto, wonder if his left wrist is barking at all.

So, who's ready for 4 innings of reds bullpen tonight :laugh:

[BCubb2003]

doesn't Votto still only have one double?

On his next home run, he should stop at second.

[Tom Servo]

Maybe Moscot makes his relief debut tonight?

[Reds Fanatic]

Ground out to 1st. 5-1 Reds mid 5th. 101 pitches for Adleman

[Ron Madden]

Nice Job Adleman..

[Tom Servo]

Nice Job Edleman..
Nice outing from Entenmann's.

[ThatPitchIsDunn]

Nice outing from Entenmann's.

I keep looking for the old Sacramento Kings coach.

[Reds Fanatic]

Votto strikes out swinging

[Red Raindog]

Two

thanks --- I'll modify my posts in the future

:evil:

[BCubb2003]

Nice outing from Entenmann's.

Good work, Edelweiss.

[Tom Servo]

3 True Outcomes for Votto

[Reds Fanatic]

Phillips strikes out looking. 5-1 Reds after 5.

[Tom Servo]

I'm thinking I might be well served not watching the last four innings left up to the bullpen

[Reds Fanatic]

Here we go. Will the streak cotinue. Cotham in

Wood in for the 8th

Think the streak will live on tonight?

[Reds Fanatic]

Carter lines a single to center

[Tom Servo]

Wood is gonna keep the streak alive, I can feel it.

[Reds Fanatic]

Strike out swinging by Santana

[androosh]

Wood is gonna keep the streak alive, I can feel it.As long as it doesn't cost the game, I hope you're right.

[Reds Fanatic]

Hill singles to right. 1st and 2nd

[Gandalf the Red]

Wood is gonna keep the streak alive, I can feel it.

If he doesn't, Hoover is the fail-safe.

[Reds Fanatic]

Here comes Cingrani

[Red Raindog]

Think the streak will live on tonight?

10729

[androosh]

If he doesn't, Hoover is the fail-safe.Yeah but I don't want it to cost us the game. Hoover surely would.

[Ron Madden]

We need a double play

[Tom Servo]

We need a double play
We need a miracle

[androosh]

Tony Cingrani will save us all.

[Reds Fanatic]

Nice play by Cozart on a 6-5 FC

[Ron Madden]

Lucroy always scares me.

[Reds Fanatic]

LuCroy walks. Tying run coming to the plate

Perez flies out to left. Bases left loaded. 5-1 Reds mid 8th

[ThatPitchIsDunn]

Had em the whole time.

[Ron Madden]

Cingrani gets out of it..

[androosh]

Well, there's always the 9th to root for!

[klw]

Ohlendorf for the ninth?

[Ron Madden]

Am I the only one that wants that terrible streak to end?

[Red Raindog]

Am I the only one that wants that terrible streak to end?

so it seems

[Kc61]

Cingrani made the move to full time reliever last spring, March 2015.

Last year all but one of his Reds outings was in the bullpen.

It seems to me that now, finally, he seems comfortable in the pen. Hopefully he can build on this and become a good reliever.

In Cingrani's case, the transition to the pen was not automatic.

Didn't he pitch pretty much the same way as a starter?

On to the 9th. 5-1 Reds

[Tom Servo]

ark Sheldon ‏@m_sheldon 48s48 seconds ago
Cingrani returns to mound for top 9th and a 5-1 #reds lead.

[Kc61]

Didn't he pitch pretty much the same way as a starter?

Not sure what that means. He had a great 2013 as a starter. He had an injury riddled 2014 as a starter primarily. He had a bad year in 2015 primarily as a reliever. Now he is having a much better year in 2016 as a reliever.

[Reds Fanatic]

Villar singles to right center

[Reds Fanatic]

Nice Villar is picked off first. 1-3-6-1

[Ron Madden]

Not sure what that means. He had a great 2013 as a starter. He had an injury riddled 2014 as a starter primarily. He had a bad year in 2015 primarily as a reliever. Now he is having a much better year in 2016 as a reliever.

I meant he had control problems as a starter and he's had control problems outta the Pen.

[Reds Fanatic]

1st base ump got stepped on in the run down and had to leave the game.

[Tom Servo]

He had a bad year in 2015 primarily as a reliever. Now he is having a much better year in 2016 as a reliever.
Other than not allowing any HRs yet, there's not a huge difference.

I like Cingrani, but he's still firmly on the bubble. Not really a success story yet.

[Reds Fanatic]

Presley flies out to left

[Reds Fanatic]

The streak is finally over. Reds win 5-1!

[Ron Madden]

Good Pitching tonight Reds Win!!!!

[androosh]

RIP streak 2016 :(

I liked that game.

THE STREAK IS OVER

[Gandalf the Red]

Stay tuned after the game and watch Carrie Fisher put a medal around Tony Cingrani's neck.

[Kc61]

Other than not allowing any HRs yet, there's not a huge difference.

I like Cingrani, but he's still firmly on the bubble. Not really a success story yet.

Ok, but the full year to transition to the bullpen appears to have helped. His ERA is down over two runs per nine compared to 2015. His FIP is down over one run per nine. He seems more confident now as a reliever.

Very fine outing tonight for him.

[Stray]

Lets play the Brewers more often.

[Ron Madden]

To everyone who wanted the streak to continue..
Don't worry we can start a new one tomorrow.

[BluegrassRedleg]

Stay tuned after the game and watch Carrie Fisher put a medal around Tony Cingrani's neck.

Cotham will be like Chewie... nothin for his efforts.
