5/18/16 - Reds vs. Cleveland

[Stray]

Cozart has been fantastic this year.

[MinnesotaRed]

What is that from? I'm guessing Major League, but I don't remember it.

Major League II

[Reds Fanatic]

Brandon hit it hard but lines out to Kipnis. 6-5 after 7

[Tadasimha]

What is that from? I'm guessing Major League, but I don't remember it.

Major League 2

[_Sir_Charles_]

CRAP. Laser shot snagged by Kipnis.

[Tracy Jones]

What is that from? I'm guessing Major League, but I don't remember it.

Yep. The 2nd one. When Jack Parkman played for the Indians, his schimmy drove the women in Cleveland wild. When he was traded to the White Sox, it made them puke.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Major League 2

Oh. That was crap, so nevermind. :O)

[Reds Fanatic]

Ohlendorf in for the 8th

- - - Updated - - -

Ramirez pops out to 3rd

[Tadasimha]

Oh. That was crap, so nevermind. :O)

Agreed. I actually liked the 3rd one better than the 2nd

[Reds Fanatic]

Gomes strikes out swinging

[_Sir_Charles_]

Agreed. I actually liked the 3rd one better than the 2nd

Never even bothered with the 3rd one. Loved the original.

['69]

Good call Jake on Brett and Carew. Growing up watching those guys is the reason I'm still fascinated by batting average hitters. I know, I know...BA is a poor stat. Sorry, I like what I like. :O)

Those guys, especially Boggs and Brett had quite a few monster OBP seasons over .450 if I recall correcty.

[Tracy Jones]

Oh. That was crap, so nevermind. :O)

It was, but I liked Parkman.

[Reds Fanatic]

Another K. 6-5 Reds mid 8th

[Ron Madden]

We need some more runs..

[_Sir_Charles_]

Those guys, especially Boggs and Brett had quite a few monster OBP seasons over .450 if I recall correcty.

You're probably right. But back then...I'd never even heard of OBP. BB's were a consolation prize for someone who didn't get a hit in my mind. I know better now, but that was still my train of thought back then.

['69]

Ross O's sub-1 whip coming soon.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Nice inning from Ross. Refreshing.

[_Sir_Charles_]

BRUUUUUUCE! :jump: ON FIRE!!!

[MinnesotaRed]

We needed that.

[Tracy Jones]

Good grief

[Reds Fanatic]

Bruce homers again!! 7-5 Reds!

[Chuckie]

2-HR night for Bruce.

Shake it off, Tribe.

[Tuff Nut]

You're probably right. But back then...I'd never even heard of OBP. BB's were a consolation prize for someone who didn't get a hit in my mind. I know better now, but that was still my train of thought back then.

I thought BBs were what was thrown at your head, after showing up the other team?

[Tadasimha]

A fine example of batsmanship!

[Ron Madden]

Stop Drop & Roll Jay Bruce!!!!
You're On Fire!!!!

['69]

Home runs have ripples...

[BCubb2003]

Bruce is in his Player-of-the-Month mode.

[_Sir_Charles_]

@ Tuff Nut

Nice. :thumbup:

[WVRedsFan]

What is that from? I'm guessing Major League, but I don't remember it.As spoken by Bob Uecker.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Jay...11 for last 19

That'll do

[Reds Fanatic]

On to the 9th. Manship, Chisenhall and Davis due up

[Tuff Nut]

@ _Sir_Charles_

Thanks. I do have my moments

[Tom Servo]

Yesterday I took a break from the game and Delabar came in and did his thing. Today I took a break from the game and the team came to life. Game threads have ripples I suppose.

[Reds Fanatic]

Cingrani in.

Santana pinch hitting

[_Sir_Charles_]

A fine example of batsmanship!

I don't think this post has gotten enough love. Did people overlook that Jeff was pitching? :beerme:

[Tom Servo]

Tony don't do this to me

[Reds Fanatic]

Santana grounds out to short

[Tadasimha]

I don't think this post has gotten enough love. Did people overlook that Jeff was pitching? :beerme:

It's a weeknight - kids are still in school

[Tracy Jones]

10826

[_Sir_Charles_]

Heck of an AB by Chisenhall.

[Reds Fanatic]

Chisenhall walks

[Tom Servo]

I want 2 die

[MinnesotaRed]

Cingrani probably isn't long for the closers role if he can't get this walking guys thing under control.

[_Sir_Charles_]

This would be a nice time for a Cingrani pickoff

[MinnesotaRed]

And, you know, doing that.

['69]

Are you kidding me

[_Sir_Charles_]

Cingrani probably isn't long for the closers role if he can't get this walking guys thing under control.

Chapman: 4.3 bb/9

I think THAT is his bigger problem. :( 7-7

[RedTeamGo!]

LOL

[Red Raindog]

inevitable -- that's a good word

[Ron Madden]

NOoooooooo!!!!!

[WVRedsFan]

We are doomed. Why do I put myself through this?

[Tracy Jones]

Good thing he was so focused on keeping Chisenhall close at 1st

[Tom Servo]

http://data.whicdn.com/images/73028786/original.jpg

freaking Rajai Davis

[Reds Fanatic]

Ugh. This bullpen is exhausting. Another homer by Davis.

[Tom Servo]

I like how Cingrani didn't give up any HRs all year until he was put in save situations.

[MinnesotaRed]

Chapman: 4.3 bb/9

I think THAT is his bigger problem. :( 7-7

Well, Chapman also paired it with striking out 15 guys per 9 lol.

But, yeah, the home run issue is really worrying.

Actually, his HR/9 is respectable. NVM

[Tuff Nut]

I blame Tom. He shoulda stayed in the Minor League game thread.

[Tom Servo]

I blame Tom. He shoulda stayed in the Minor League game thread.
Fair enough, but that's why I noted the Delabar thing incase I was invariably blamed!

- - - Updated - - -

[Reds Fanatic]

Duvall, Cozart and Hamilton due up

[BluegrassRedleg]

Advanced scouting on Davis and subsequent pitching to said hitter has been fantastic.

[Tracy Jones]

I like how Cingrani didn't give up any HRs all year until he was put in save situations.

Pitching the 9th inning is different. People can dispute it all they want, but it is. Some guys just can't do it.

[MinnesotaRed]

Rajai Ruth

[Reds Fanatic]

Amazing thing is Davis came in this series on something like an 0 for 18 slump and he has killed the Reds 3 days in a row. Our pitching staff will break any slump

[Reds Fanatic]

Duvall grounds out

[Tadasimha]

Cozart walks it off

[Kc61]

Cingrani with his 48.9% fly ball rate and his 5.5 walk rate per nine innings.

[Reds Fanatic]

Cozart strikes out swinging

[MinnesotaRed]

We need Billy OBP to get on and give Votto a chance

[Tom Servo]

Remember the game where the Reds gave up a million runs in extra innings to the Brewers to make the game look like a total blowout? I feel like we're gonna see it again.

[MinnesotaRed]

Cingrani with his 48.9% fly ball rate and his 5.5 walk rate per nine innings.

Good combo for GABP

[Tracy Jones]

Has there been a more disappointing recent Red than Tony Cingrani? The dude has fallen a loooooong way since 2013.

[Tadasimha]

Cozart strikes out swinging

Okay, I was wrong! No need to rub it in!

[BluegrassRedleg]

Amazing thing is Davis came in this series on something like an 0 for 18 slump and he has killed the Reds 3 days in a row. Our pitching staff will break any slump

Dim lights, loud music, cold beer... SLUMP BUSTER!

[Reds Fanatic]

Remember the game where the Reds gave up a million runs in extra innings to the Brewers to make the game look like a total blowout? I feel like we're gonna see it again.

Yes I have a feeling we are headed there. If the bullpen can somehow have a decent 10th the perfect end to this game would be a Bruce walkoff on his 3rd homer of the game

[RedTeamGo!]

I hate watching Billy Hamilton bat.

[Tom Servo]

Has there been a more disappointing recent Red than Tony Cingrani? The dude has fallen a loooooong way since 2013.
Despite his defense the guy who just struck out looking is probably right there with him.

[Reds Fanatic]

On to the 10th

[RedsBrick]

It really isn't a matter of if, just how.

[Tracy Jones]

Despite his defense the guy who just struck out looking is probably right there with him.

Touché.

[757690]

Silver lining. Free Baseball :)

[Tracy Jones]

JC is pretty nasty when he's on. Too bad he's very inconsistent

[MinnesotaRed]

Has there been a more disappointing recent Red than Tony Cingrani? The dude has fallen a loooooong way since 2013.

Billy

[Reds Fanatic]

Napoli struck out swinging.
Ramirez flies out to left

[Ironman92]

On this team...when the reliever looks good and has the lead, he needs to pitch the next inning.

Ohlendorf was fooling them, each new reliever increases the odds of one of them sucking

[Tracy Jones]

Suarez...

[Reds Fanatic]

Suarez's defense is brutal

[Ron Madden]

E5 Now that was worse than the first error.

[Tom Servo]

Eugenio...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07So_lJQyqw

[MinnesotaRed]

Walking Marlon Byrd is interesting

[Reds Fanatic]

Intentional walk to Byrd

[50YrRedsFan]

Suarez's defense is brutal

OLE

[Reds Fanatic]

Martinez pinch hitting

[Ironman92]

Ugh...Ramirez should be out of this. He's low fastball HR prone

[Tracy Jones]

Billy

Debatable. Many thought Billy would struggle at the plate (not to the level he has) but still struggle nevertheless. Cingrani was dominant all through the minors, then here in 2013, and has since fallen off a cliff.

[Ironman92]

Nasty

The Suarez walk off will be great fun

[Tom Servo]

Nice work JC Superstar

[Reds Fanatic]

Big K! Votto, Phillips and Bruce due up

[Ron Madden]

Here we go Walk This Baby Off!!!

[Tracy Jones]

Walking Marlon Byrd is interesting

It got Shaw out of the game. That's probably a good thing.

[Tracy Jones]

He gets some air on that thing, and that's ballgame.

[Ironman92]

I liked that by Joey. Wish it would've worked

[Ironman92]

I like Phillips going oppo

[Reds Fanatic]

A long foul down the right field line by Brandon

[Ironman92]

Walk Bruce! Walk him!

[Reds Fanatic]

Phillips grounds out. Cmon Jay lets end this

[Reds Fanatic]

Bruce grounds out. On to the 11th

[Ironman92]

C'mon Bruce. Swing at that on 2 and 1???

[RedlegJake]

There is a level of bad that becomes magnificent....majestic...entertaining. The 62 Mets, 2003 Tigers, 1916 As.....and just imagine - the Reds pitching is worse than any of them. Historic.

[MinnesotaRed]

awful lot of money for good contact

[Tracy Jones]

Cotham is Davis repellent

[Reds Fanatic]

Davis strikes out swinging. 2 outs

[westofyou]

awful lot of money for good contact

Thanks!!!

[Ron Madden]

Somebody got Davis out!!! We're gonna win this game!!!!

[RedlegJake]

awful lot of money for good contact

Yeah we get it junkhead

[Reds Fanatic]

A 1-2-3 11th for Cotham.

Suarez, pinch hitter and Barnhart due up

[757690]

Funny, some fans complain about Votto for being paid so much and not driving in runs. Then he drives in 2 runs, and they find another reason to complain.

[Tuff Nut]

Suarez needs to atone for his ole's.

[Reds Fanatic]

Suarez grounds out to short

[Tracy Jones]

Funny, some fans complain about Votto for being paid so much and not driving in runs. Then he drives in 2 runs, and they find another reason to complain.

Are you saying that Votto is above criticism? And that his play this year doesn't deserve it?

[Reds Fanatic]

Suarez grounds out to short

De Jesus strikes out looking

[MinnesotaRed]

Are you saying that Votto is above criticism? And that his play this year doesn't deserve it?

Can't imagine why anyone would be upset when a guy making 25 million a year is hitting .210

[Reds Fanatic]

Barnhart strikes out swinging. On to the 12th. Sampson coming in

[Tracy Jones]

Can't imagine why anyone would be upset when a guy making 25 million a year is hitting .210

It's a strange phenomenon here. Joey Votto can do no wrong. Ever. I've never seen anything like it other than Jeter in his heyday.

It's like you're disparaging their child for some.

[Reds Fanatic]

Lindor homers to center.

[kaldaniels]

Can't imagine why anyone would be upset when a guy making 25 million a year is hitting .210

If you are in fact new here, learn to get your facts straight.

20 MM this year.

Now you may say it doesn't matter, but you have to be accurate.

[Tom Servo]

Ahem, TRF...

[Tracy Jones]

Lol good to see Sampson back

[kaldaniels]

Welcome back Kevius.

['69]

Welp, Cinderella

[BluegrassRedleg]

Today's call-ups: :laugh:

This organization is run by the government. It has to be.

[Tom Servo]

Hey but remember, Jumbo and Sampson were doing really well in AAA!

[Roy Tucker]

Bam.

[MinnesotaRed]

If you are in fact new here, learn to get your facts straight.

20 MM this year.

Now you may say it doesn't matter, but you have to be accurate.

Fair enough

[Tom Servo]

Bringing back Sampson after outrighting him off the roster is the same solid thinking that got us Alfredo Simon back.

[kaldaniels]

Fair enough

You passed your first test. :D

Welcome to the forum.

['69]

Hey but remember, Jumbo and Sampson were doing really well in AAA!

It's like it's a whole different level of baseball or something.

[Roy Tucker]

There just aren't any good options. Nowhere to turn. There will just be a lot of beat-downs.

[Reds Fanatic]

One last chance, Duvall, Cozart and Hamilton due up

[MinnesotaRed]

This inning might expose why having Billy hit 2nd is a bad idea (having him make the last out of the game.)

[Tracy Jones]

Maybe the guy who said Somsen being in the minors was to ensure tanking was on to something...

[Tom Servo]

Sampson and Jumbo have now allowed a combined 6 HRs in their combined 12 innings of work.

[BluegrassRedleg]

Behind the scenes shot of the Reds front office tonight planning tomorrow's bullpen adjustments:

10829

[Ironman92]

You cannot miss there to lefties!

[Reds Fanatic]

Duvall pops out

[BluegrassRedleg]

Sampson and Jumbo have now allowed a combined 6 HRs in their combined 12 innings of work.

And still gainfully employed by an MLB organization.

[Tracy Jones]

Behind the scenes shot of the Reds front office tonight planning tomorrow's bullpen adjustments:

10829

Nah. They'll bring Hayes back up. Problem solved.

[Reds Fanatic]

Kipnis makes a great catch to rob Cozart

[Ironman92]

I still contend that nearly every 2nd baseman is excellent defensively

[Ironman92]

This inning might expose why having Billy hit 2nd is a bad idea (having him make the last out of the game.)

Billy didn't pitch, not the problem

[MinnesotaRed]

Well, it's up to Mr. Moneybags

[Reds Fanatic]

Good AB by Hamilton. Single to left

[Ironman92]

I still think it's a cruel joke that one of the main advertising board sponsors seen nearly every pitch is Ollie's Bargain Outlet

[Tracy Jones]

Yeah Billy

[Ironman92]

Billy!

[Roy Tucker]

I'd be content with just a mildly bad bullpen. This historically bad pen thing makes being a Reds fan a miserable exercise in self abuse.

[Ron Madden]

Alright Billy!!! base hit...

[Tom Servo]

Well, it's up to Mr. Moneybags
You must be fun at parties.

[MinnesotaRed]

You must be fun at parties.

Why do you take personal offense every time I say something slightly disparaging about Votto?

- - - Updated - - -

Good PA

[Reds Fanatic]

Walk to Votto. 1st and 2nd

[Ironman92]

PR for Votto

[RedTeamGo!]

You must be fun at parties.

It's so strange how offended people are at how much money Votto makes.

Anyone that doesn't think it's because of Marty and/or pDoc are crazy.

[Ironman92]

Swing for a base hit Phillips!

[Ron Madden]

I hope Brandon doesn't ground out to SS

[Tom Servo]

It's so strange how offended people are at how much money Votto makes.

Anyone that doesn't think it's because of Marty and/or pDoc are crazy.
But see, I'm the one with a problem for pointing out how weird calling a player 'Mr. Moneybags' is.

[Roy Tucker]

I'm fun at parties.

[Ironman92]

NICE!!!!!

[757690]

You passed your first test. :D

Welcome to the forum.

Instead of the Touring Test, maybe we can call this the "Junkhead Test." ;)

[Reds Fanatic]

That is it. Another loss 8-7

[Ironman92]

Nuck Fuggets

[Tom Servo]

Well, the Braves won tonight, so we gain a game on the race to the bottom.

[Tracy Jones]

It's so strange how offended people are at how much money Votto makes.

Anyone that doesn't think it's because of Marty and/or pDoc are crazy.

Oh absolutely, because everyone who isn't satisfied with Joey Votto's play is an idiot who can't think for themselves. So much easier to let Marty and Paul do the thinking instead.

[Roy Tucker]

Even Jim Day is downcast.

At least we didn't have to endure the Thom scorn and disdain tonight.

[Ron Madden]

Joey Votto is Not the reason the Reds lost this game.

[MinnesotaRed]

Outside of that hot HR streak 2 weeks ago, BP has been mostly mediocre this season too (OBP below .300 for the year.) Don't mistake me as one of his fanboys. He's got to get it together too.

[Stray]

I'm borderline intrigued to watch this bullpen based on nothing other than to see how bad they might be. Expectations are gone, emotional investment is minimal. Love em but I'ma just embrace this ride. I don't think I could sit on the other side for the next however many months it'll last.

[RedlegJake]

Outside of that hot HR streak 2 weeks ago, BP has been mostly mediocre this season too (OBP below .300 for the year.) Don't mistake me as one of his fanboys. He's got to get it together too.

I've been waiting for that

[Tracy Jones]

I don't see how calling one of the most overpaid players in the league 'Mr. Moneybags' is weird at all. But to each their own.

Agree it's weird to get upset about it. Disagree that he's one of the most overpaid players in baseball. Way too early for that.

[kaldaniels]

Instead of the Touring Test, maybe we can call this the "Junkhead Test." ;)

I was defienetly sniffing around on that. As I said he/she passed the first test.

But then came the Mr. Moneybags remark....back to square one.

[Roy Tucker]

Joey Votto is Not the reason the Reds lost this game.

Joey Votto is fun at parties with his Mounties hat. He also does great obscene shadow puppets.

[RedTeamGo!]

Oh absolutely, because everyone who isn't satisfied with Joey Votto's play is an idiot who can't think for themselves. So much easier to let Marty and Paul do the thinking instead.

Where did I say anything about being satisfied or dissatisfied with Votto's play?

I am simply referring to the offense people have for Joey's income. I think it's weird.

[kaldaniels]

It will be funny to see BP request a trade later this season...

[WVRedsFan]

Maybe MinnesotaRed is Gallagher? I mean, same gameplan, right?

[lnn6574]

Can we find Arthur Rhodes and David Weathers? Even if they are in wheelchairs.

[Roy Tucker]

It will be funny to see BP request a trade later this season...

Trade him to the Braves.

[Tom Servo]

I was defienetly sniffing around on that. As I said he/she passed the first test.

But then came the Mr. Moneybags remark....back to square one.
He's getting more clever though, peek that generic name (I'd have gone with AlaskaRed) and avatar. Like when The Terminator uses someone else's voice to trick people.

[Ron Madden]

It will be funny to see BP request a trade later this season...
I hope he does..

[Tracy Jones]

Fair enough - hopefully he can get it together

History says he will. I don't think he's done. Not even close. But again, this is what you open yourself up to when you sign that kind of deal as an athlete. He's fortunate in that he plays in a place like Cincinnati, and that there's no expectations for the team this year. If he was a Met? Or in pretty much any other big market? He'd be getting skewered far worse by both fans and media than what he gets now.

[Tracy Jones]

Where did I say anything about being satisfied or dissatisfied with Votto's play?

I am simply referring to the offense people have for Joey's income. I think it's weird.

Ever hear of Bernie Sanders? All people do is complain about what others make, and for athletes, it's been going on since the first million dollar contract was signed. Weird huh?

[RedTeamGo!]

Ever hear of Bernie Sanders? All people do is complain about what others make, and for athletes, it's been going on since the first million dollar contract was signed. Weird huh?

Yes, I have heard of Bernie Sanders and I see zero reason why you brought him up.

And, yes, being offended by the income of one particular athlete is weird.

[Roy Tucker]

Jeez. I think Price is about to cry in his post game interview.

[Ron Madden]

Jeez. I think Price is about to cry in his post game interview.

I can't say that I blame him..

Sometimes I feel like crying too

[Tom Servo]

Jeez. I think Price is about to cry in his post game interview.
I'm not a fan, but I hope he treats himself to a nice vacation in Hawaii once he is no longer the Reds manager.

[Tracy Jones]

Yes, I have heard of Bernie Sanders and I see zero reason why you brought him up.

And, yes, being offended by the income of one particular athlete is weird.

So you know that lots of people complain about the income of others. It's not just Joey Votto.

And it's been going on with athletes since at least the 80's. I can remember Dave Winfield getting raked over the coals for a deal that paid him less than $2 mil per. Again, this isn't a phenomenon exclusive to Joey Votto, conjured up in the deep caverns of Marty's brain. It's been a part of sports since Moses wore short pants.

I have never heard Bernie complain about the income of individuals. Who has he complained about?

Are you referring to him saying banks should pay taxes?

Oh good lord. Good night.

Oh sorry, I forgot he's a commie and hates all capitalist pigs that make more than minimum wage.

I'll watch a couple hours of Fox News to catch up.

Goodnight.

80s.. It was going on before then.

Were they even getting paid in the 1880's --in dollars? Lol

More fun than a box of snakes, as clever as a baby bunny

Just finished the game thread. Glad I took the night off (though I did still watch the game).
