6/1/16 - Reds at Rockies

[Reds Fanatic]

Reds Lineup:

1. Zack Cozart (R) SS
2. Billy Hamilton (S) CF
3. Joey Votto (L) 1B
4. Adam Duvall (R) LF
5. Jay Bruce (L) RF
6. Eugenio Suarez (R) 3B
7. Ivan De Jesus Jr. (R) 2B
8. Ramon Cabrera (S) C
9. John Lamb (L) P

[Ron Madden]

I have very little faith in Lamb right now..
Hope he changes my mind.

[Tom Servo]

I have very little faith in Lamb right now..
Hope he changes my mind.
Like Moscot, I think between Lamb not missing bats so far this year and giving up HRs like a pez dispenser that this could get ugly fast.

[Kc61]

A lesson from following the Reds is how long it takes pitchers to come back from a meaningful injury.

It takes some guys until the next season. Some guys arguably never get back to form. I say "arguably" because we can't be sure why they are diminished, but they are.

I've never thought Lamb would wind up in this rotation, but give him a chance. He was out for quite awhile. Last time he didn't look like Lamb from last season. One of these outings he'll start striking guys out again. Moscot will get back to his form as well, will be a contributor in some role.

Takes time.

[Reds Fanatic]

Rockies:


1. Charlie Blackmon (L) CF
2. DJ LeMahieu (R) 2B
3. Nolan Arenado (R) 3B
4. Carlos Gonzalez (L) RF

6. Mark Reynolds (R) 1B
7. Trevor Story (R) SS
8. Dustin Garneau (R) C
9. Tyler Chatwood (R) P

[Wonderful Monds]

Gonna go ahead and break open the sauce in anticipation for this one :alcohol:

[cumberlandreds]

If you thought last night was bad then next two nights could be very very ugly. I predict that run differential will grow by a boat load.

[RedlegJake]

Look at that Rockies lineup - in Coors - then look at who is pitching for the Reds. I hope our boys brought their sticks....

[The Operator]

Trevor story s batting 7th, behind Mark Reynolds?

Mmmk, Walt Weiss.

[Reds Fanatic]

Hamilton with a bloop double between the left and center fielders. 2nd and 3rd

[Wonderful Monds]

Rockies gonna rock! Infield single off Reynolds glove, 1-0 Redz!!

- - - Updated - - -

Review coming. :|

[Reds Fanatic]

This is probably getting reversed it looks like the pitcher beat Votto to the bag

[Wonderful Monds]

Joey not happy about it, lol

[WrongVerb]

Votto is out.

[Reds Fanatic]

That is pretty clear he was out.

[Wonderful Monds]

Votto out, run stands

[Reds Fanatic]

Duvall strikes out swinging

[Wonderful Monds]

Lamb nibbling around the zone

[Reds Fanatic]

Blackmon singles off the diving Duvall's glove

[Wonderful Monds]

Singles off Duvall's glove at 3B

[Wonderful Monds]

First pitch ball to Lemahieu, and things bout to get rowdy.

Lamb can't find the zone, 2-1 to Lemahieu.

[Kc61]

Two on with no one out and the heart of the order coming up. Sure wish the team could have done all it could do to get a crooked number there.

Not sure Duvall is being helped hitting clean up. I know BP is out, but Duvall may be pressing in that spot.

Some guys feel that, hitting cleanup, too much is expected of them. Duvall may not be ready for that.

I'd try to get him back to the sixth spot if possible.

[Ron Madden]

Two on with no one out and the heart of the order coming up. Sure wish the team could have done all it could do to get a crooked number there.

Bruce was robbed of extra bases and a RBI..

[Reds Fanatic]

The batting practice has started already. LeMahieu doubles in a run.

[Wonderful Monds]

Not sure Duvall is being helped hitting clean up. I know BP is out, but Duvall may be pressing in that spot.

Some guys feel that, hitting cleanup, too much is expected of them. Duvall may not be ready for that.

I'd try to get him back to the sixth spot if possible.

And in LF. Keep him one place.

Lemahieu RBI double to the RCF gap, ugh. No outs runner at 2B

[Red Raindog]

welp -- lead gone before there is an out

[Reds Fanatic]

Arenado against Lamb is an ugly matchup

[Wonderful Monds]

Thank god I have a beer open already

[Kc61]

Lamb Lamb, the fly ball man.

[Ron Madden]

Not sure Duvall is being helped hitting clean up. I know BP is out, but Duvall may be pressing in that spot.

I'd try to get him back to the sixth spot if possible.

Gee can't we give him more than one game hitting 4th?

[Wonderful Monds]

The only strikes Lamb is getting are foul balls, he can't find the zone at all.

[Red Raindog]

Thank god I have a beer open already

just got back from dinner -- will need more alcohol it seems

[Wonderful Monds]

FO to Duvall who is actually in LF despite what Grande said earlier. :|

Welsh speculating an injury to Lamb, says his velocity is noticeably down.

Another 1-0 count to Cargo

Nice swing and miss on the breaking ball to get Gonzo to chase, then he fouls one back to even at 2-2

[Kc61]

Gee can't we give him more than one game hitting 4th?

His one game was yesterday. Tonight, results please.

[Wonderful Monds]

John Lamb has a serious case of pinkeye or "something" :lol:

CarGo fouls one back to hang on

- - - Updated - - -

Walks him on a full count, runners on first and second with one away. :alcohol:

- - - Updated - - -

Wow, I thought Raburn sucked

- - - Updated - - -

Raburn: Son of a Preacher Man, 2-1 as John Lamb can't find the strike zone with a GPS.

- - - Updated - - -

He is seriously getting strikes exclusively on foul balls. That's not gonna cut it.

[Ron Madden]

His one game was yesterday. Tonight, results please.

He's had ONE ab tonight

[Reds Fanatic]

1st K for Lamb

[Wonderful Monds]

And as I say that, foul tip for strike 3, Raburn sits down for out 2.

- - - Updated - - -

Nice breaking ball on the lower inside corner for strike 1

Gets Reynolds to wave at strike 2. 0-2

Literally I have no idea catching up now, takes a first pitch ball then grounds one foul 1-1

Whoever has a decent eye, watches one on the black low and away ball two. RBI FC at second, Reds go up 2-1!

H A V O C

[Reds Fanatic]

Hamilton's 2nd double of the night and he is literally the only player in baseball that gets a double on hit to shallow center. 4-1 Reds!

[Red Raindog]

I love speed

[Wonderful Monds]

WP ball one to Votto, Billy Havoc to third.

['69]

Not sure Duvall is being helped hitting clean up. I know BP is out, but Duvall may be pressing in that spot.

Some guys feel that, hitting cleanup, too much is expected of them. Duvall may not be ready for that.

I'd try to get him back to the sixth spot if possible.

I was thinking the same thing, he may start pressing. Bruce traditionally slays from the 4th spot, and 12 pts better BA. I guess the earth would spin right off it's axis if two LHB batted back to back in the order.

[Wonderful Monds]

Full count to Joey

[Tuff Nut]

MAKE IT A DOUBLE

Don't mind if I do

[Wonderful Monds]

Votto walks to put the Reds 1st and 3rd again with Duvall digging in. :drink:

[Wonderful Monds]

Agree. With this crazy Reds season, what's the difference if you hit two guys lefty lefty?

It's not like a lefty reliever is going to come in and steal the pennant away.

At least until BP comes back.

[GADawg]

Thank god I have a beer open already

we should be able to save our alcohol receipts and get reimbursed by the Reds.....would probably hold up in court

[Wonderful Monds]

Best year for Hamilton, I hope he keeps growing.
He had a couple 8+ pitch ABs last night, two 2Bs tonight. He looks like he's taking a step forward.

Quick FO to Billy, one away

['69]

I wish I drank. :( Occaisional beer, and then a local IPA

[Wonderful Monds]

[BCubb2003]

Hamilton's 2nd double of the night and he is literally the only player in baseball that gets a double on hit to shallow center. 4-1 Reds!

Billy Hamilton is mortal, but no mere mortal.

Also this

[PXShaman]

Suarez walks again. HE'S HEATING UP...

The best thing you can take from a season like this.
Hamilton is doing good for his career stats. Suarez is in a Sophomore slump, but he is walking :P

But love u all for watching this season, it is hard.

[Wonderful Monds]

Blackmon continues to terrorize, singles through the hole at SS.

[GADawg]

why doesn't Grande know the difference between a line drive and the ball being "looped"?

[Rantly]

I misread that as you would drink vigorously for him!

Same here

[Chip R]

At this rate, the game will last more than 4 hours....

Tomorrow is going to be a bear. 8:40 game with a night game in Cincinnati on Friday against the Nats.

Surprised it's not an afternoon game, the Rockies must be staying home.

[Kc61]

Lamb with strikeouts and grounders that inning. Ok, the grounders were hit pretty hard.

Still, that's the way to be a Cincinnati Reds pitcher. Good work tonight so far, John.

[Wonderful Monds]

Lamb leading off, looks at 2 strikes go by quickly lol

Glad he didn't offer at strike 3, given that it was ball 1. :/

[OnBaseMachine]

Garbage strike three call on Hamilton.

['69]

Lamb drilled on the hip by a come-backer

[Wonderful Monds]

Oh damn, hard liner off Lamb's hip, he takes a knee on the 3B line. That was scorched. Fffffffffffff

[Raisor]

Love it or hate it, BH has a better approach.

The results has him back to his 2014 numbers, nearly exactly.

Definitely an improvement over last season, but then last season was a disaster

['69]

Just a lil' looper, shake it off

Good to see Lamb looks ok

[Wonderful Monds]

Looks like Lamb might stay in, stretches it out, throws a couple warm up pitches. Classy applause from Coors. :drink:

[Wonderful Monds]

GO to Suarez, who throws out the runner despite slipping on the pick up.

[marcshoe]

I had thought that Lamb had come back too soon or needed more seasoning in the minors, but it turns out he was just waiting for a challenge. Coors Field it is.

105 mph off the bat.

[marcshoe]

We are seeing a little bit of what made me like Lamb last season. He's changing speeds with nice movement and location. Looks better than he has since he came back.

[Wonderful Monds]

105 mph off the bat.

Lamb: :alcohol:

You earned it, gyro.

[GADawg]

damn they drive fast in Denver

[Big Klu]

Not sure I understood why the #7 hitter would sacrifice bunt with one out.

[Wonderful Monds]

Not sure I understood why the #7 hitter would sacrifice bunt with one out.

Story was bunting for a hit after Lamb took that one to the hip, it was a bang bang play too so it almost worked.

[Ron Madden]

We could use a few more runs..

[GADawg]

Votto may be having a down year to this point but he is at the very least consistent in his odd behavior and mannerisms so he's got that going for him

[Raisor]

We could use a few more runs..

Speak for yourself. I'm too fat to run.

Nice job by Lamb tonight, threw those grounders, polished performance in a tough stadium.

If Cingrani can pitch effectively to home plate, I'll forgive his throw to centerfield.

[CincyDave]

So Lamb doesn't completely suck?
I'm confused.

[Wonderful Monds]

Good lord, that was NO WHERE close.

It was so off if you look at the replay, DeJesus didn't even have his eye on the ball he missed so bad lmao :lol:

Poor Duvall, he finally TRIED to walk and it just wasn't meant to be.

[Reds Fanatic]

Adam Rosales just hit a mammoth HR deep into the 2nd deck in San Diego and rounding 3rd had to slow down his trot as he was catching the runner in front of him

Do we have a dorf on Basball gif to go with this.....lol

[Tom Servo]

We're good again! :beerme:

Missed most of it, but looks like a strong performance from Lamb and a very nice game from the offense.

[Wonderful Monds]

Reds win(?)!

Quick game too

[Ron Madden]

Thank You Sir...May I have another?

[VR]

I love that Billy broke the mobile version of gameday......it didn't credit the Reds with the 7th run until there was one out in the bottom of the 9th. The computer just can't compute what Billy did!

[kaldaniels]

Lamb looked the part but there's that whole 2 K in 7 IP thing. But hey, progress!

[Wonderful Monds]

I finally realized who Billy sounds like when he talks and it's freaking Jimbo from South Park :lol:

[Big Klu]

On pace for 55-107.

[Rantly]

I finally realized who Billy sounds like when he talks and it's freaking Jimbo from South Park :lol:

Funny you said that, I was just thinking he could be a cartoon/movie voice after baseball career is over

[Tom Servo]

Yeah I deliberately chose the word solid for that reason. Don't love the line, but love the 7 innings part.

I think he sounds like Ruby Rhod, the Chris Tucker character from The Fifth Element.

[ThatPitchIsDunn]

I want him to be the Mets backup to d'Arnaud

And get Justin Morneau as the emergency.

[cumberlandreds]

If you thought last night was bad then next two nights could be very very ugly. I predict that run differential will grow by a boat load.

This guy obviously had no idea what he was talking about. At least for last night anyway.

I was pleasantly surprised to see that the Reds won and that they got a good pitched game. That's the reason you watch sports. You never know what may happen.

I just came in to see Tom's accolade at the game's conclusion. Thank you, sir.
