[Big Klu]

Mike Leake with a rarity among pitchers, wearing a single-digit number for the Cards (#8).

[Reds Fanatic]

What a start by Lamb. 1-2-3 inning. 9 pitches, all strikes

[Ron Madden]

Lamb off to a good start..

[MikeS21]

Mercy! Who is this guy impersonating John Lamb?

[Reds Fanatic]

Votto lines a double to center

[Ron Madden]

Double for Joey Votto!

[Big Klu]

Mike Leake, meet Joseph Daniel Votto.

[WrongVerb]

Talking draft, I think the odds on favorite to reach the majors first is Logan Shore, the Friday night starter at the University of Florida. But he'll be selected in the teens because he's very much like Leake in that the stuff is there to get major league hitters out but it isn't likely to get much better than it is now.

[Reds Fanatic]

Phillips grounds out to short.

[Reds Fanatic]

Votto easily steals 3rd with the shift on

- - - Updated - - -

Bruce flies out to center. 0-0 after 1

[Reds Fanatic]

Leadoff hit by Piscotty

[Tom Servo]

You guys, John Lamb discovering the advent of video and advanced scouting may be the single biggest moment in baseball history.

[Reds Fanatic]

Peralta strikes out swinging. 2 Ks

[Reds Fanatic]

Piscotty picked off by Lamb

[Reds Fanatic]

Infield hit by Adams. That is a total shift single that was barely hit

[Tom Servo]

Lamb hitting 91-93 so far tonight, worth noting considering he was 89-90 generally this year.


Adams ALWAYS beats the shift.

[Ron Madden]

Suarez playin the shift had to go a long way for that ball.

[WrongVerb]

You guys, John Lamb discovering the advent of video and advanced scouting may be the single biggest moment in baseball history.

Early results are positive. Let's see how he is the 2nd and 3rd times through the lineup.

[Reds Fanatic]

Molina strikes out swinging. 3 Ks for Lamb

[Tom Servo]

Molina has 666 career RBIs, which is too perfect.

[WrongVerb]

Molina has 666 career RBIs, which is too perfect.

More proof that the Cardinals club, at some point in the last 20 years, made a pact with the devil.

[Kc61]

This is why I also thought Lamb would be a terrific reliever. The ability to have two innings like that.

Last year, as a starter, he would get bogged down in the middle of the game. Maybe he's beyond that, we'll see.

[Reds Fanatic]

Duvall continues to roll with a hit to center

[Ron Madden]

Base Hit Adam Duvall!

[Reds Fanatic]

Molina has 666 career RBIs, which is too perfect.

It is so perfect for him he should just retire now

[Hillsdale87]

Lamb hitting 91-93 so far tonight, worth noting considering he was 89-90 generally this year.


Adams ALWAYS beats the shift.

Hopefully this means he's fully healthy now. He's gone from 10.5 K/9 last year to 4.7 K/9 this year. 10.5 is unrealistic, but he'll see his strikeouts rise and could be an effective starter if he can maintain 91 - 93

[Reds Fanatic]

Suarez fouls out to Adams

[WrongVerb]

Leake is leaving a lot of hittable pitches out there.

[Tom Servo]

This is why I also thought Lamb would be a terrific reliever. The ability to have two innings like that.

Last year, as a starter, he would get bogged down in the middle of the game. Maybe he's beyond that, we'll see.
I'm not counting any chickens, I tend to agree he profiles as a reliever. But the velocity tonight is very encouraging. When he can throw a 93 mph fastball to go with his breaking stuff instead of 89, it makes a difference.

[Reds Fanatic]

Hamilton singles to left. 1st and 2nd

[Kc61]

Interesting at bat by Duvall. Didn't jump on the first pitch. Took a couple of pitches. But didn't delay very much, jumping on the third pitch for a nice single up the middle.

Something about Duvall I like. Just get the feeling he knows what he's doing up there.

[11larkin11]

Guys, make me stop getting excited about Billy's improvement at the plate. It's not real right?

That's what Mike Leake usually does

Questions for Lamb are fly balls and control/pitch count.

[Reds Fanatic]

Should have been an easy out but another throwing error by Suarez. 11th error on the season.

Leake bunts the runner to 2nd

[Tracy Jones]

Edwin Suarez

[Tom Servo]

Edwin Encarnacion-like

[BluegrassRedleg]

Not used to seeing a pitcher wear a single-digit number like Leake's 8 tonight. Looks so odd.

Please, God, make the Phillies take this guy. :help:

[Reds Fanatic]

Carpenter flies out to right. Runner stays at 2nd

[Tom Servo]

I was so happy when the Cardinals put Diaz on waivers last year because it seemed they had finally made a mistake. Cardinals devil magic is the worst.

[Reds Fanatic]

4 Ks for Lamb. 0-0 mid 3rd

[Tom Servo]

Looking good Johnny Boy

[OnBaseMachine]

John Lamb looks GREAT tonight. His velocity is finally back to where it was last season, effectively making his change-up and curve better.

[Tracy Jones]

Not used to seeing a pitcher wear a single-digit number like Leake's 8 tonight. Looks so odd.

Please, God, make the Phillies take this guy. :help:

I don't know. There could be more of a risk by not taking him. He really could be dominant. Then 5 years from now we'll be cursing the FO for passing on another Lincecum and Scherzer.

I think if he's there, they gotta take him.

[Reds Fanatic]

Reds go down 1-2-3 in the 3rd. 0-0 after 3

[Reds Fanatic]

Not used to seeing a pitcher wear a single-digit number like Leake's 8 tonight. Looks so odd.


This is an old article but it shows how rare it is for a pitcher to wear a single digit number: http://www.wsj.com/articles/SB111595287095932687

[Reds Fanatic]

Great diving catch by Bruce

[BluegrassRedleg]

I don't know. There could be more of a risk by not taking him. He really could be dominant. Then 5 years from now we'll be cursing the FO for passing on another Lincecum and Scherzer.

I think if he's there, they gotta take him.

Be afraid. Be very afraid.

[Ron Madden]

Man He Sucks in RF..

[Tom Servo]

Nice effort by Jay

[OnBaseMachine]

I would love to know where that 2-1 pitch to Piscotty missed.

[Reds Fanatic]

Piscotty walked

[Tracy Jones]

Be afraid. Be very afraid.

You could say that about everybody in this draft pretty much, but at least with Puk, the possible ceiling is a Cy Young winner.

[Reds Fanatic]

Peralta in his first game of the year doubles to left center. 2nd and 3rd

[Big Klu]

Not used to seeing a pitcher wear a single-digit number like Leake's 8 tonight. Looks so odd.



Stroman in Toronto (#6) is the only other active pitcher I can think of.

Edit: I see that Julio Urias is wearing #7 for the Dodgers.

[Reds Fanatic]

Adams lines a single to left. 1-0 Cards

[Tom Servo]

I hate Fat Adams.

[BluegrassRedleg]

You could say that about everybody in this draft pretty much, but at least with Puk, the possible ceiling is a Cy Young winner.

Indeed. But I want no part of him. If I'm wrong, I'll be the first to admit it 3-4 years from now, but I'd avoid him like the plague.

[Tracy Jones]

I hate Fat Adams.

Lol I was just about to say that. Guy kills us.

[Reds Fanatic]

Big 6-4-3 DP to end the inning

[Tom Servo]

Yesiree!

[Tracy Jones]

Indeed. But I want no part of him. If I'm wrong, I'll be the first to admit it 3-4 years from now, but I'd avoid him like the plague.

I'd be hard pressed to pass on a guy that size with that talent, regardless of what my organizational needs are.

This is where scouts and GM's earn their money. It's a tough gig.

[Tom Servo]

I thought BP was a dead duck. Might have been.

Nope, BP beat the tag. Nice baserunning.

[Ron Madden]

Base hit Bruce runners first and third no outs

[Tracy Jones]

I thought BP was a dead duck. Might have been.

Nah. He was in there. Crappy tag.

[Raisor]

Boom

[Tom Servo]

Duvall! :jump:

3-1 Redlegs!

[Ron Madden]

3 run HR Adam Duvall!!!

[Tracy Jones]

Still waiting on that Duval regression...

[WrongVerb]

Adam Bomb!

[Tom Servo]

Leake must have gotten bored on the mound ;)

[Larkin Fan]

There's the Mike Leake we all know and love.

[androosh]

Adam Duvall will save us all.

[BluegrassRedleg]

The Louisville Slugger! (As USA scores a goal in Copa, too.)

[androosh]

There's the Mike Leake we all know and love.One of my buddies is a die-hard Cardinals fan, and last inning texted me "So how do you like Leake in another uniform?" and I replied with "Fine with me, he's guaranteed to give up one or two long balls at GABP". Perfect timing :D

[CarolinaRedleg]

Peralta in his first game of the year doubles to left center. 2nd and 3rd

Good to see his PEDs are in midseason form.

[Raisor]

Still waiting on that Duval regression...

If you jinx him you're Permaband from RaisorZone

[Reds Fanatic]

4-1 Reds after 4.

[Tracy Jones]

So Duvall is the likely Reds all star rep right?

If he is, what a great story

[Elam]

Suarez hustles home on a Cabrera fly ball, determined not to get thrown out on a SF like earlier this season. Seriously, hardest I've seen him run.

[Larkin Fan]

If you jinx him you're Permaband from RaisorZone

You're still here?

[Ron Madden]

Sweet Play by Cozart

[Elam]

If you jinx him you're Permaband from RaisorZone

If you jinx him into jinxing him does that untra-Permaband you?

[Reds Fanatic]

So Duvall is the likely Reds all star rep right?

If he is, what a great story

Might be in the home run derby too. He is 2nd in the league in homers right now

[ThatPitchIsDunn]

So Duvall is the likely Reds all star rep right?

If he is, what a great story

Agreed, and deserving. Cozy might sneak in though - SS is pretty watered down in the NL.

[Reds Fanatic]

5 Ks for Lamb

[WrongVerb]

Found this humorous tweet from a Cardinals fan. I swear we all could have tweeted the same thing about pitchers against the Reds:


Paul Cobb
@PCobb72

Another no name pitcher, this time with the #Reds, looking like Cy Young against the Cards. #STLCards
4:24pm · 7 Jun 2016

[Tracy Jones]

Might be in the home run derby too. He is 2nd in the league in homers right now

Duvall would be a HR derby monster.

[Big Klu]

Agreed, and deserving. Cozy might sneak in though - SS is pretty watered down in the NL.

Jay Bruce is making a case for All-Star rep, too.

[Elam]

Agreed, and deserving. Cozy might sneak in though - SS is pretty watered down in the NL.

Seager, Story have to be locks at this point. Crawford, Cozart definitely in the conversation

[Tracy Jones]

Edwin Suarez

[OnBaseMachine]

I like Adam Duvall.

Time to move Suarez to second base after Phillips is traded.

[Reds Fanatic]

Suarez is a nightmare in the field

[Tom Servo]

Eugenio just trying to get Lamb to rack up more K's, clearly.

[Reds Fanatic]

Another 1-2-3 inning for Lamb

[Ron Madden]

Two fine plays by Cozart this inning

[Reds Fanatic]

78 pitches through 5 for Lamb

[Cannon]

Adam Duvall just crushes the ball.

[WrongVerb]

Can we just call Suarez "The Great American Butcher?"

[Big Klu]

Seager, Story have to be locks at this point. Crawford, Cozart definitely in the conversation

Russell may get voted in. Diaz playing well, too.

[Ron Madden]

Can we just call Suarez "The Great American Butcher?"

Neither error hurt us this game.. We can thank the Baseball Gods for that

[Reds Fanatic]

Reds go down 1-2-3 in the 5th. 4-1 Reds

[Tracy Jones]

I can understand why Lamb was averse to film study. He looks like the kind of guy that still has a VCR.

[Reds Fanatic]

Another 1-2-3 inning for Lamb.

[Ron Madden]

Lamb is turning me into a believer these past two games.

[Raisor]

You're still here?

Go lance a boil, pill popper!

[Reds Fanatic]

Reds go down 1-2-3 in the 6th. 4-1 Reds after 6

[Ron Madden]

Lamb looks like a member of the Allman Brothers Band

[OnBaseMachine]

That change-up is so good.

[Tom Servo]

John freaking Lamb! :clap:

[Reds Fanatic]

Another 1-2-3 inning for Lamb. 99 pitches through 7. 2nd straight good 7 inning start by Lamb

[Cannon]

John Lamb looking real good. Hope he can keep it up...he does have the pedigree.

[Reds Fanatic]

Lamb is due up 3rd so they may pinch hit but other than that I would send him out there for the 8th

[WrongVerb]

After the Cueto and Leake trades last year, I said the pitching was going to be ugly for awhile, probably the next 162 games. But do you feel it? Starting to click for Lamb and a few others.

[Reds Fanatic]

Hamilton homers! 5-1 Reds!

[Ron Madden]

BILLY!!!

[WrongVerb]

Billy ball!!!!

[BluegrassRedleg]

I <3 Mike Leake

[Reds Fanatic]

Cabrera doubled off the wall in right and Lamb is staying in

[Tracy Jones]

Leake is bad. Really bad.

[Raisor]

John Lamb hitting for himself.

[The Operator]

Looooove The Reds hitting well against Leake.

Go steal some shirts, punk.

[Ron Madden]

Cabrera is S-L-O-W

[Big Klu]

For those interested, USA is up 3-0 at halftime vs. Costa Rica.

[Tom Servo]

People here wanted to see the Reds give Leake $80 million plus.

[Reds Fanatic]

After the Cueto and Leake trades last year, I said the pitching was going to be ugly for awhile, probably the next 162 games. But do you feel it? Starting to click for Lamb and a few others.

If you look at Lamb and some of the pitchers starting to figure it out plus the injured pitchers finally getting ready to come back and the improvements coming to the bullpen this team may have a pretty good pitching staff in the 2nd half

[Red Raindog]

Still waiting on that Duval regression...

after he plays in the all star game

:D

[Tracy Jones]

People here wanted to see the Reds give Leake $80 million plus.

Lol I was in the 4/$40 camp, and even that looks foolish

[Big Klu]

Nice stop by the LF ball girl!

[Tracy Jones]

after he plays in the all star game

:D

Raisor will hurt you after he reads that statement

[Reds Fanatic]

Wood warming up

[Cannon]

Leake hasn't been nearly as bad as some of our pitchers let's not get too crazy here. We're swinging the bat well, too.

But giving up a lefty homer to Billy Hamilton...lol

[Reds Fanatic]

Cozart singles to center. 6-1 Reds

[The Operator]

hehehehe 6-1!

[Raisor]

I almost forgot:

I hate the cardinals and their stupid fans

[Tom Servo]

Mike Leake is no Dan Straily.

[Tracy Jones]

Leake hasn't been nearly as bad as some of our pitchers let's not get too crazy here. We're swinging the bat well, too.

But giving up a lefty homer to Billy Hamilton...lol

No he hasn't. You could say that about most pitchers though. Leake is what he is....the very definition of an average major league pitcher.

[Ron Madden]

Mike Leake got his a$$ whooped

[lollipopcurve]

the very definition of an average major league pitcher.

Given a 5 year 80 million dollar contract at the age of 26? 27? by one of the premier organizations in the game. Totally average.

[The Operator]

They do realize that Bruce hits well against lefties, right?

[Tracy Jones]

Given a 5 year 80 million dollar contract at the age of 26? 27? by one of the premier organizations in the game. Totally average.

A career 101 ERA+

The very definition of average

(Credit to Norm Chortleton for bringing it to my attention.)

[The Operator]

Bruce *just* missed that.

[OnBaseMachine]

Pull him. Give him confidence going into his next start.

[Tom Servo]

Lamb looks fatigued.

[Tom Servo]

well that was a strange looking play

[Raisor]

Jerko makes it to second on a BP error

[WrongVerb]

I'm not understanding why he's still pitching. Even going out for the 8th, it should have been with the edict that he wasn't going to pitch from the stretch.

['69]

I still like Leake. Underrated imo, even if "average", he was consistently solid and always good for 200 IP, which in itself is underrated.

[Tracy Jones]

Phillips gets the error, but Edwin Suarez gets the assist.

[Big Klu]

Pull him. Give him confidence going into his next start.

No, we have to teach him a lesson.

[The Operator]

fielders choice and BP throws the ball past Votto, runner to second.

In Phillips' defense, Suarez's throw to him was awful. 1 out

[OnBaseMachine]

Inning should be over. Wow.

[Tom Servo]

I'm not understanding why he's still pitching. Even going out for the 8th, it should have been with the edict that he wasn't going to pitch from the stretch.
Price gonna Price. Gotta learn to pitch when you're ineffective, or something.

[The Operator]

Seriously Phillips?!?!?

Brutal error. 1st and 3rd.

[Ironman92]

Phillips geesh

[Tom Servo]

Thanks, BP.

[The Operator]

This inning should be OVER but Lamb exits with 1 out.

Great start no matter what.

[Cannon]

Poor Lamb. :( Errors.

[Tom Servo]

Heckuva start Lamb.

[Ironman92]

And now that I'm in and watching maybe Reds can blow this

[The Operator]

That's honestly one of the worst errors I've ever seen BP make. Was he trying to pimp it or something?

[Tom Servo]

And now that I'm in and watching maybe Reds can blow this
I'd be annoyed, but honestly Lamb's start was much more important to me than if the Reds win or lose.

[Cannon]

I still like Leake. Underrated imo, even if "average", he was consistently solid and always good for 200 IP, which in itself is underrated.

Yep, Leake was one of my favourite players. Really tough to see him pitching for scum.

[Mutaman]

Was he trying to pimp it or something?

???

[The Operator]

Sac fly, 2 outs. 6-2 Reds

Chris went out of his way to jinx Wood on that "Doesn't let inherited runners score" thing.

[BluegrassRedleg]

Cue J. Giles

WOOD STINKS (Wood stinks)

YEAH YEAH (Wood stinks)

[Tom Servo]

extremely cool and good how Price managed this inning and how the defense played and how Wood pitched

[BluegrassRedleg]

Why am I sitting here watching this?

['69]

Cingrani in...

Hopefully Good Tony...

[The Operator]

Cingrani coming inn to face Fat Adams. He'll represent the go-ahead run.

[Cannon]

lol...this bullpen.

Cue J. Giles

WOOD STINKS (Wood stinks)

YEAH YEAH (Wood stinks)

He gives me the blues
And the Reds sink
All I can say is...
Wood stinks (Wood Stinks) Yeah Yeah (Wood Stinks)

[Ron Madden]

A big K would look good right about now

[BluegrassRedleg]

Fatso might as well go ahead and ding and put us out of our misery.

[Tom Servo]

I'm trying to remind myself that I don't mind losing this season, because I really don't, but these meltdown innings always take an emotional toll.

[Big Klu]

Price with a double switch.

Cingrani in to pitch, hitting 4th.
Holt to RF, hitting 9th.
Bruce out of the game. (Don't know about that move.)

[The Operator]

Good work Cingrani! 6-4 good guys after 7.5

Leake still on the hook for the L!

[Tracy Jones]

Good job Tony C

[BluegrassRedleg]

Send Cingrani back out for the 9th?

[TheBigLebowski]

Love beating the cards. REALLY love beating the cards when Leaky pitches.

[Ron Madden]

C'mon Adam!!!!!

[Big Klu]

Send Cingrani back out for the 9th?

I think so. Price wouldn't have made a double switch if that weren't the plan.

[WrongVerb]

Send Cingrani back out for the 9th?

Yes.

[Mutaman]

Love beating the cards. REALLY love beating the cards when Leaky pitches.

Bad game for leake so that would mean an appearance by labowski. Its like Pavlov's dog.

[The Operator]

Strike two to Billy was bs

[The Operator]

Billy hanging tough against Brox

[Ron Madden]

Billy hangin in there

[BluegrassRedleg]

Hold the phone. Let's see this replay.

[The Operator]

oooooo I thought he was safe.

[Ron Madden]

Review!

[TheBigLebowski]

I think there is hope for BillyHam.

[BluegrassRedleg]

Horrific call. Hamilton is safe. Infield hit.

[The Operator]

Oh yea he's safe. No contest.

[Tracy Jones]

Lol what a terrible call

[DocRed]

MLB umpires.....worst embarrassment in sports. Fire those overpaid and overweight clowns and bring on the computers I say...

[Tom Servo]

I like this Billy

[The Operator]

This is why replay exists. To get rid of brutal calls like that.

They just need to fix the problems with the way they implemented it.

[WVRedsFan]

Billy is so fast out of the left box

[Cannon]

Billy Hamilton is so fast hahaha.

[The Operator]

Billy Ball! SB

[BluegrassRedleg]

Love how Hamilton flat-out owns Molina.

[TheBigLebowski]

Hard to believe he's stolen so few bases

[The Operator]

Billy takes 3rd as Cabrera walks!!!

C'mon boys, insurance runs!

- - - Updated - - -

Most SB against Molina of any player. YEESSS

[Ron Madden]

2nd and 3rd

[The Operator]

Now CABRERA takes 2nd against Molina. Love it.

- - - Updated - - -

Holt K's

[The Operator]

If MLB is really worried about speeding up the game, they should talk to Broxton. He makes Steve Trachsel seem quick.


On the bright side, 32 pitches for Broxton in Game 1 off the series is a good thing.

[Mutaman]

With Wright possibly out for the year, and the Metises having offensive problems, wouldn't it be worth making a call and seeing if they would give us something for Suarez?

[The Operator]

Molina singles leading off the 9th

[Tom Servo]

leadoff single. it's happening.

[The Operator]

Eric Fryer runs for Molina

[Tracy Jones]

And here we go...

[The Operator]

Grichuk flies out to Holt. 1 out!

[Ron Madden]

Good time for a DP to wrap this baby up.

[Tracy Jones]

Saving grace: bottom of the order

[The Operator]

Jerko singles.

Runners 1st and 2nd, 1 out

[The Operator]

Cards pinch run for Jerko as well.

[BluegrassRedleg]

Duvall!!!! WTH

[The Operator]

Lol lol lol lol lol lol

[Ron Madden]

DAMN IT!!!!

[The Operator]

I hate this bullpen. Hate it with every fiber of my being.

[Big Klu]

Just as surely as the Sun rises in the East...

[Tom Servo]

i want 2 die

['69]

Of course.

[WVRedsFan]

It was too good to be true, I guess. I watch these Cardinals do the same thing against Pittsburgh the other day.

[Ironman92]

Unfortunately I've been spot on so far

[Tracy Jones]

Remember when the Reds had a great bullpen and great defense?

[Tom Servo]

A freaking 6-1 lead in the 8th at home, man. For god's sake.

[BluegrassRedleg]

This is a tough call. Can make a case that his hand is on A. Hugh's foot/ankle. Not really sure. My hunch is it stands as safe.
