At the conclusion of tonight's game we will be at the mathematical halfway point of the season.

Votto singles

BP bunts Votto over to second, was attempting to bunt for a base hit apparently

[Raisor]

Votto just about had third stolen but Bruce fouls off the pitch.

Bruce then flies out

Harper singles into RF. runners first and third.

I remember when Phillips used to make that play.

Sac Fly Cf

Marty giving Harper the business because he has a 256 batting average (ignoring the fact that he has a 900 OPS).

"A 256 batting average is a 256 batting average."

I could (most definitely am) be going insane, but it seems like Phillips has had more balls get by him this year, than he would have had routinely in years past.

To be fair, Chip is just old.

"A 256 batting average is a 256 batting average."

It fits his ranting narrative against Votto, so he has to bash Harper too.

[redsfan4life67]

Oh how I hate the sac bunt.

Good quick inning by Disco. That will help the ole pitch count. It goes without saying need him to go very deep into game. Pen is taxed.

True. 35 happens.

[Ron Madden]

I've never seen a ground out quite like the one Cozart just hit into. That ball acted weird

[redsfan4life67]

Klu, I think it really cool you been here since 2000. 16th season. I been on various boards since 07. Most are now gone or almost gone. I am happy I found this place. It is by far the most active board that I know of. In terms of game threads and general topics.

Fans at the Cleveland-Toronto game got a old fashioned DH. Plus a Inning all for one ticket price. Chisenhall 5-8. Crazy game.

[Raisor]

1.000 OPS.

Try to keep up sunshine

[Ironman92]

Indians win in 19 but used tomorrow's starting pitcher (was going on 4 days for tomorrow) and he threw 83 pitches at maximum effort from 15th-19th innings with no breaking ball.

This might set them back but was cool to watch.

Barney losing pitcher but he looked good facing the meat of their order and k'd Napoli on a nasty breaking ball.

When Price leaves I hope the new manager stops the steal attempts with the slow base runners. Every game there is at least one it seems. I like the SB but lets face it there should be very few SB attempts by Reds not named Hamilton,Peraza and possibly Holt.

[Tom Servo]

Nice job by Disco to win the battle against Harper for out #2 after a walk to Werth. But now has to deal with Murphy.

[Tom Servo]

Ah, Murphy wins this battle. Double to right field to tie the game.

4 straight balls to Rendon. Two walks in the inning. Very unlike Disco.

Disco with K #7 to open the 7th inning. Just shy of 100 pitches, Iglesias warming up in the bullpen.

[Tom Servo]

K #8 for the second out of the 7th.

Disco is good. I remember Mike Leake was the comp last year. I think he's more like Homer Bailey.

He does still need to improve against lefties though. Clint Robinson PH ground rule double.

[Tom Servo]

Ugh. Disco didn't break to first on a groundout, Votto had zero chance to beat Revere to the base.

Disco's night is done. Hopefully it stays tied with Iggy.

Just have to comment that Billy Hamilton is becoming a valuable player for the Reds. Nice catch in that inning. Great defense, excellent baserunning (improved), and starting to hit respectably.

If there was a doubt this is the stupidest team on the planet, that cinched it.

[Big Klu]

I thought Price made a tactical blunder with his substitutions. He should have used Peraza as a PR for Barnhart, and the switch-hitting Cabrera as the PH for Iglesias.

[redsfan4life67]

Ugh. Cozart swings 3-0 with Votto on deck. Dribbles one back to Kelley and doesn't run hard to 1B.

[Kc61]

In that inning Peraza was called out on ball 2.

And the decision to let Cozart swing 3-0 was horrible.

[CWRed]

That had to come from the bench. Just awful. Lazy, dumb team. Please just get rid of Bryan "the guys are playing hard" Price now.

[CWRed]

[QUOTE=Kc61;3500850]In that inning Peraza was called out on ball 2.

That was a strike all day and three times on Tuesday. Caught all of the outside zone.
