[Strikes Out Looking]

Dusty sits Trea Turner

Dusty being Dusty. He hasn't changed at all this year.

[Tom Servo]

He got it! Revere nearly hit his yearly HR but Billy runs it down at the wall.

[Ironman92]

1st play of the game and Billy makes the play of the month. That is the highest difficulty catch for a CF going full speed over head and into wall on the catch in the air.

Simply A+ outstanding.

[Tom Servo]

Scoreless first for Straily with one K.

[Knightro28]

Can't wait to see Statcast on that one.

[Tom Servo]

Reds go down 1-2-3 at the hands of Strasburg in the 1st.

[The Operator]

I really want a win today. I don't know why, but something has always rubbed me the wrong way about Strasburg. I've never liked him.

Ramos doubles

[The Operator]

Ugh 2-0 Nationals

HR Rendon

[Tom Servo]

I was just wondering why Rendon hasn't been the same player since 2014. Ugh.

[Tom Servo]

Nice plays by Votto and Straily after the HR tho.

[The Operator]

BRUCE!!!

Oppo field HR!

2-1

[Eric from NC]

I have to admit that I find George Grande kind of hard to take, when we have to spend 10 minutes talking about every player has had child in the three months. I know he's a nice guy, but is too much to ask to actually focus on the game?

[Tom Servo]

Strasburg strikes out the side after the Bruce HR.

[The Operator]

Strasburg always reminds me of a weird combination of Ferguson Darling from Clarissa Explains It All and "The Shermanator" from American Pie.

[The Operator]

Barnhart guns down Revere at 2nd. 2 outs

I think everybody in the park knew he was going but it still took a great throw.

[Strikes Out Looking]

Nice throw by Barnhart to catch Revere stealing.

[The Operator]

Straily K's Werth.

2-1 Nats

[Strikes Out Looking]

Nats TV guys slyly giving it to Dusty at every opportunity over Turner sitting this one out.

Barnhart guns down Harper.

2-2 throwing runners out today!

Votto hit one deep but Harper pulls it in on the warning track.

[Chip R]

My girlfriend would like to know why Votto is wearing gold on his shoes. Anyone?

Phillips with a 1-out double.

[MikeS21]

There's just something about watching Joey Votto take Strasburg to school like that.

[Ron Madden]

Jay Bruce scalds one back up the middle for a hit.

[OGB]

I thought for a second they were going to let Strasburg stay in and hurt himself because Stras didn't want to leave with only the possibility of taking his first loss.

[OGB]

Strasburg out btw, with a cramp.
Wild pick off attempt sends Jay to 2nd.

[Ron Madden]

No Win for Strasburg Today!!!

[Raisor]

Attention major league pitchers. Joey Votto spent the first two months of the season lulling you into false sense of security.

He has awaken.

You have been warned.

[WVRedsFan]

Strasburg not too happy with the turn of events. Lots of immature players on that team

[Big Klu]

That was the most beautiful HR I have seen all year. Start to finish, it was perfect, I think only Suarez and Jay can pull off better ones.

Does anyone know were Thom is? I kinda miss him a little maybe.

[Raisor]

Great start by Straily!

Amazing late spring pickup

[Big Klu]

Does anyone know were Thom is? I kinda miss him a little maybe.

Medical leave of absence. He's likely out for the rest of the summer. I wish him well, but I don't miss him.

[Ron Madden]

Having throat surgery

Waldrop hits for Straily

[The Operator]

Waldrop singles to right, awful play by Murphy though. Should have been an out.

[PXShaman]

Medical leave of absence. He's likely out for the rest of the summer. I wish him well, but I don't miss him.

I am just glad he wasn't here for the Gorilla, I had to watch the visiting teams station this whole time. I don't want Thom's 2 cents on that topic.

Edit: You know this will be the first thing he talks about when he comes back.

[Ron Madden]

First MLB hit for Waldrop

[Tom Servo]

I'm kind of shocked that a team willingly signed Daniel Murphy to keep him at 2B. The Mets had him there only because 1B and 3B were occupied.

[Big Klu]

Seriously? Ugh

I get why Tucker ran there, but dang.

- - - Updated - - -

Waldrop hits for Straily

Just bad luck for Barnhart. The ball caromed right to Ramos.

[Red Raindog]

That's the trouble with having BH on the team -- guys like Tucker forget they aren't fast

[The Operator]

LOL Waldrop gets picked off.

[Ron Madden]

What was that?
Wish this club was a bit better running the bases.

[Red Raindog]

double TOOBLAN for the Reds

[Tom Servo]

Waldrop fitting right in, picked off of 1st.

[The Operator]

Talking about great defensive outfielders.

George just had to drop in "I mean, how many times did we see Jim Edmonds do that against The Reds?"

[WVRedsFan]

LOL, George just said that Dusty Baker was now using Ohlendorf as the regular 8th inning pitcher...

[Big Klu]

Just because a player is out on the basepaths doesn't automatically make it a TOOTBLAN. Barnhart attempted to advance on a wild throw from the shortstop that sailed wide of first base. If it doesn't take a perfect bounce to Ramos, he's on second base standing up.

[The Operator]

Tie game, HR Espinosa

Bullpen gonna bullpen

[Ron Madden]

Damn! 3-3

[Mutaman]

I am just glad he wasn't here for the Gorilla, I had to watch the visiting teams station this whole time. I don't want Thom's 2 cents on that topic.

Edit: You know this will be the first thing he talks about when he comes back.

It just hit me that the Cincinnati involved in the Gorilla affair is the same Cincinnati where the Redlegs play.

[Tom Servo]

Welp, that was a bad mistake behind 3-0. Should have walked him instead of given him a cookie.

[The Operator]

Just because a player is out on the basepaths doesn't automatically make it a TOOTBLAN. Barnhart attempted to advance on a wild throw from the shortstop that sailed wide of first base. If it doesn't take a perfect bounce to Ramos, he's on second base standing up.Agreed, I wasn't criticizing Barnhart. Just in disbelief of the bad luck involved.

[WVRedsFan]

Russ is good for a run each inning he pitches. At least it seems that way.

[The Operator]

Walk to the .173 hitting Stephen Drew

in my best Maxwell Smart voice -- would you believe I typed TOOBLAN meaning thrown out on bounce like a nincompoop?

nah -- didn't think so --- ;)

My point was Tucker ain't fast

[Big Klu]

I was talking about the pickoff

Yes I know, but there was another post referring to a "double TOOTBLAN" in the inning after Waldrop was picked off, implying that Barnhart also had made a bad decision.

[Raisor]

Chip is at the game. Best part is we can make fun of him and he won't know until later

Robby's career was epic, in 67 he took a knee in the head that some say accelerated his demise, Aaron and Mays came in the league before Robby but he fell off a little sooner, some say it was the concussion

I came to age as a Tiger fan, they never traded anyone, and they had a core of ten guys who played in the same season as each other 10 years in a row.

But break my heart?

Duvall looks like a keeper. Coming into today he was 3rd in MLB in slugging.

[Tom Servo]

I was pretty optimistic that guys like Straily and Duvall could be solid producers in a rebuilding year. I didn't think in early June they'd have a 3.34 ERA and 16 HRs, respectively. Even if they regress (and I expect they will), they'll still likely out perform my best guesses.

[westofyou]

Totally agree. I was 14 and I couldn't believe that the Reds were that dumb. Robby caught the devil too for some reason.

Dewitt was s Rickey man, he also a was old school owner with a small margin for error. Add in the civil rights movement + DeWitts background as a shoe string owner and Robby's issues in a town that is on the border of the South., Gun, vocal etc... And you get what happened

A decision that was based on incorrect data in some cases and assumptions + Reds lack of something (Pitching)

Lost in all of this is that Ace Straily pitched 7 innings of two hit ball. It's a shame he didn't get the win.

[PXShaman]

If only he would try to hit less homers and walk about 6 more times...sigh

He is in the prime as a power hitter. I don't know about his control, but if Reds control him till his age 31 season, he can be one of the best bats that can be traded on the market, if I was a team that needed an OF I would actively go after Duvall harder then Bruce. His walks will go up with more time.

[paulrichjr]

Honestly he doesn't deserve to go to the pen in the next few weeks. Walt is about to get a chance to earn his last few paychecks as he deals arms for bats.

I know, was more of a thinking while typing (How much control do we have on him?). I did misread a little bit, missed the sarcasm I am so bad at that. But I don't think anyone can be as bad in walks as Duvall is now.

I really wanted to hang the L on Strasburg, but a win is a win.

Anorth enjoyable game to watch. Straily pitched a nice game and deserved the win. The least deserving pitcher got the win. Go figure. Duvall is turning into a very nice player. He's a player who may benefit by changing teams. He would never hit for power in SF but in Cincy he could flourish and have a nice career. Still early for him but so far so good.
