I, for one, appreciate that we're getting through this series and this umpiring crew without having to deal with C.B. Bucknor behind the plate.

[malcontent]

Why is Hamilton sitting?

[Raisor]

Why is Hamilton sitting?

He's on the 7 day concussion DL

[Tom Servo]

Oh no, not John Lamb in the camo uniform again.

[Tom Servo]

Lamb gets the big yesiree DP to get out of the inning after a bloop hit and walk

What was I doing 40 years ago? Pretty much the same thing...http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160612/8f721b9b07e475dcb2f309f45b6b7abf.jpg

40 years ago you still had 19 years before you were born.

[KittyDuran]

40 years ago you still had 19 years before you were born.

Thanks sweetie... But that game was a belated 17th birthday present, so you're way off. [emoji79]

[Reds Fanatic]

2 run homer for Semien. 2-0 A's

[Tom Servo]

Lamb not looking like the guy from his last start in terms of pace and location. Single and a HR to start the 2nd.

2-0 A's.

[Reds Fanatic]

Another 2 run homer. 4-0 A's

[Reds Fanatic]

Selsky singles to left

[Raisor]

Marty once again says that he is a member of the national baseball hall of fame.

He isn't.

[Reds Fanatic]

Cabrera doubles to left. 4-1 A's

[WrongVerb]

Marty once again says that he is a member of the national baseball hall of fame.

He isn't.

Isn't that what the Frick award is? He won in 2000.

[Tom Servo]

Great defensive play by Suarez to turn the DP, he has a few of them today.

[Big Klu]

I thought Zack was safe on the stolen base attempt.

[Tom Servo]

Another damn good defensive play by Suarez at 3B.

[Ron Madden]

Suarez making some nice defensive plays today

[Tom Servo]

Lamb pulled for a pinch-hitter after four, probably the right move as I don't think he was going to get any better. Waldrop up with two outs and runners on the corners.

[Big Klu]

Quick hook for Lamb today. Waldrop pinch-hitting in the bottom of the fourth with two outs and runners at the corners.

[Tom Servo]

Nice AB by Waldrop, works a walk. Bases juiced for Cozart.

Zack grounds out, nothing doing.

[Big Klu]

Weak grounder to second by Zack. Inning over.

[Tom Servo]

Josh Smith in for the 5th. Hitting 93 mph in relief, I recall he was 89-90 last year starting.

Good clean inning from the man with the generic name, two strikeouts.

Is that like a good, clean salad from Panera?

[Tom Servo]

Two singles for Votto today

[Tom Servo]

Well, Selsky isn't a CFer.

[Big Klu]

Alonso in as pinch-runner!?

Wow, Billy Butler! That says a lot about you.

[Big Klu]

Smith picks up Selsky. No harm done.

[Tom Servo]

Another good inning from Smith.

[Raisor]

Isn't that what the Frick award is? He won in 2000.

It's not the same as being inducted into the HoF

From the hall of fame website


The Ford C. Frick Award is presented annually during the Hall of Fame Weekend. Each award recipient (not to be confused with an inductee) is presented with a calligraphy of the award and is recognized in the "Scribes & Mikemen" exhibit in the Library of the National Baseball Hall of Fame.


Three times this season I've heard Marty mention that he has been inducted into the National Baseball HoF

He hasn't

I was two weeks ahead of you 40 years ago.

[WrongVerb]

That's at least 3 double plays today.

I was 6 years old 40 years ago. My first memory of a game isn't until 1977 or 1978.

[Big Klu]

I'm guessing that Cowboy's memories of Omaha start with the barbeque.

[Big Klu]

Reds go down in order in the seventh.

[Tom Servo]

HR Valencia, 5-1 A's

AJ Morris isn't very good.

[Big Klu]

HR Valencia, 5-1 A's

AJ Morris isn't very good.

I figure he's next to go back to Louisville when the Reds need to open up a roster spot for a pitcher.

[Big Klu]

A's add on. Reds now trail 6-1 headed to bottom of ninth.

[Ron Madden]

Well at least the Reds won 2 outta 3.
Now on to Atlanta!

[Big Klu]

Ryan Madson (who stole a boatload of money from the Reds in 2012) on to pitch for the A's.

Duvall K
Suarez K
DeJesus PH for Ramirez (Has anyone seen Pacheco lately?)
DeJesus groundout 4-3

A's win 6-1.

[Big Klu]

On pace for 62-100.

[Wonderful Monds]

40 years ago you still had 19 years before you were born.

Screw you and the math you rode in on!
