[Wonderful Monds]

Peraza is a DH now

Neat.

[CWRed]

Peraza is a DH now

Neat.

The one guy who should be getting experience in the field is the DH. Bryan "Brain damage" Price strikes again.

Meanwhile the one guy who most could use a breather in the field and still have a chance to maybe swing the bat starts at third still today.

[Strikes Out Looking]

Is Votto still "sick" or is he getting the Dusty treatment from Price "He said he was fine but you know I wanted to give him another day."?

[TheBigLebowski]

I wish someone would ask Price what the hell he is thinking having Peraza DH.

Votto still sick. At the park today but no baseball activity. He's just eating crackers. #reds

[Raisor]

Votto isn't paid to eat crackers!!!

[Tom Servo]

Cozart and Hamilton retired on 3 pitches.

BP walked and Bruce flew out on the first pitch.

[Tom Servo]

Barnhart guns down Odor trying to steal 2nd.


Ya boi is the only one in this thread right now.

[RedsfaninMT]

Thanks for the PBP...even if it's only me.

[Tom Servo]

Barnhart tried to steal a HBP, good effort. He gets punched out though on a high strike, probably the ump's way of telling him "don't do that again".

Suarez single and stolen base all for the Reds in the 2nd.

[RedsfaninMT]

Down in AAA Amir is shutting them out, despite 3 BB...only 1 hit given up helps.

[Tom Servo]

1-2-3 2nd for Straily.

[Tadasimha]

Fancy crackers?
Or fish food?

Billy singled with two outs, but he didn't have time to go anywhere before DatDude struck out.

[Tadasimha]

Hope that's a sign Billy is getting his groove back to continue building his BA up again

Fancy crackers?Fancy French crackers?

[Big Klu]

I'm sorry for the death in Jeff Brantley's family, but it's a good thing the Cowboy isn't there tonight, because he would be all over that 2-ft.-long hot dog monstrosity.

[Big Klu]

Choo wearing a single-flap helmet. (Noticed it last night, too.) Any story on what happened to the double-flap helmet he wore in Cincinnati and Cleveland?

[Big Klu]

Straily with 2 BB's sandwiched around a HBP to start the 4th. Beltre then with an RBI single. Bases still loaded.

Prince follows with a 2-run single. 3-0 Rangers. Still no outs.

[Red Raindog]

this game is falling away quickly

[WrongVerb]

Straily's second shaky game in a row. Sell high, Mr. Williams. Sell high.

Oh, and I'll take the hit for this. Things were apparently going fine until I put the game on this half inning.

[Big Klu]

Cozart with a nice catch on a bloop popup in no man's land beyond second base!

[Tom Servo]

Straily's strand rate is regressing, the walks are haunting.

- - - Updated - - -

De Jesus remains a butcher in the field.

[Big Klu]

Another run scores on a fielder's choice. The runner at second advances on an E3.

Flyout to RF to end the inning.

[Tom Servo]

Jose Havoc singles and steals second base.


Funny that Welsh remembers the hype around Hamels debut, I just remember Redszone being deflated that our strong offense was being blanked by a rookie.

[Big Klu]

Peraza tags up and goes to 3rd on a nice sliding catch by Choo.

Billy K's to end the inning.

[Big Klu]

Easy 1-2-3 inning for Straily.

[Tom Servo]

Can't Spruce the Bruce, hits a double in the 6th.

[Big Klu]

Bruce with a one-out double into the RF corner.

[Big Klu]

Duvall with an RBI bloop single to CF!

[Red Raindog]

The Reds got a run off of Cole tonight -- I'm happy (and a little drunk)

[Big Klu]

Another easy inning for Straily.

[Tom Servo]

2004 1st overall pick Matt Bush now pitching for the Rangers.

Isn't this the guy who was in prison for drunk driving or something?

~edit~ Yes. Hit and run. What a waste of a young career. :(

[Tom Servo]

Isn't this the guy who was in prison for drunk driving or something?
Yeah, he almost killed a guy.

Yeah, I found it. It's a sad story...but I refuse to feel bad for the guy as he did it to himself. Still...such a waste.

[Tom Servo]

Hoover in for the 7th.

[_Sir_Charles_]

JJ does what JJ does.

5-1 after the Ian Desmond dinger

[Tom Servo]

That's our JJ!

[Big Klu]

There's the J.J. Hoover we know!

What is that, the 15th time this season a reliever has given up a homer to the first batter he has faced?!

[Tom Servo]

About 7 of those had to be Hoover alone.

[Big Klu]

Bruce with a one-out double to LCF, his second two-bagger of the night.

Duvall follows with a walk.

[Tom Servo]

Another double for Bruce. Dude is amazing this year.

- - - Updated - - -

How much longer can Price justify batting Phillips ahead of Bruce in the lineup?

[Tom Servo]

Duvall with two walks tonight!

[Big Klu]

Geno!

3-run HR, and the Reds are down 5-4!

[Tom Servo]

Genooooooooooo! :jump:

3 run shot! 5-4 game!

[Roy Tucker]

It's a ballgame again.

[Roy Tucker]

Reds not happy with home plate ump tonight.

[Tom Servo]

Mr. Choo burns the Reds with a solo HR

[Big Klu]

Choo homers against Cingrani. 16th first-batter HR vs. a Reds reliever.

I'll bet there's a fight at the opposing team's bat rack every time the Reds go to the pen.

[WVRedsFan]

Thanks to Hoover and Cingrani, we can't buy a break with this game. The dramatic 3-run HR by Geno is probably going to be just an asterisk. Hoover of the 9.72 ERA is lucky to be on a MLB roster, but according to many and we need him on the roster.

[WVRedsFan]

Reds lose 6-4.

[Tom Servo]

We're bad again.

These kind of loses are fine with me though. Bruce with some doubles, Duvall with a good game, Suarez with a nice dramatic HR. Pitching wasn't god awful, just poor, and they didn't meltdown in spectacular fashion. Sign me up for 30 more of these.

[WVRedsFan]

In a season where it doesn't matter, the Reds gave the second best team in the majors two good games. Now, it's on the San Diego for four games and hopefully a 3-1 series.

[Wonderful Monds]

About 7 of those had to be Hoover alone.

Jumbo gotta be in contention too.

[Tom Servo]

Jumbo gotta be in contention too.
Jumbo prefers to allow a runner on first though, he's the king of the 2 run shot.

Good point, good point.

[WVRedsFan]

Jumbo gotta be in contention too.JJ has given up 6 HR in 15 innngs and Jumbo 5 HR in 11 innings! Pick your poision.

[Big Klu]

On pace for 63-99.

I think San Diego comes to us. I'm pretty sure I have tix for Friday's game.

[WVRedsFan]

I think San Diego comes to us. I'm pretty sure I have tix for Friday's game.Even better! I mis-read the schedule. Hope you guys miss the severe storms we are supposed to get.

[Ron Madden]

I think San Diego comes to us. I'm pretty sure I have tix for Friday's game.

I missed the game tonight for the first time this year.
Went to the Willie Nelson concert in Huber Heights but the Reds and You (guys) Were Always On My Mind.

I'll be at the game Saturday
