No Duvall again but just like yesterday's plan.

[Raisor]

No Duvall again but just like yesterday's plan.

Looks like they were trying to find a way to give him a day off.

[Ironman92]

Looks like they were trying to find a way to give him a day off.

I don't disagree with the idea (Price probably knows he is going to make the all-star team and not get a break there) but as a Reds fan he's one of the few good things to watch.

The manager in me though says that if Votto had to sit out yesterday with a sore shoulder then IMO Votto may benefit more from the day off today more than Duvall.

Go Reds, score 20.




Hopefully that's enough.

Last time Duvall didn't appear in a game was April 29.

[WrongVerb]

Phillips batting 6th. Better.

[Raisor]

two days in a row too

[Ironman92]

Last time Duvall didn't appear in a game was April 29.

Yeah, 5 days off in that span (no games scheduled) and 3 of those were 1-3 innings later in the game

In that span of 59 consecutive games played he hit 20 HR (lead all of MLB), 54 RBI (2nd in MLB) and .905 OPS

I smell a PH 3 run HR

JJ Hoover?

[Tom Servo]

11 pitch AB by Jose Havoc, ends with a flyout though.

[Tom Servo]

Votto walked too but Bruce and Suarez couldn't deliver.

Lamb time.

[Raisor]

Votto walked too but Bruce and Suarez couldn't deliver.

Lamb time.

Well, Clarice - have the Lamb(s) stopped screaming?

[mth123]

JJ Hoover?

Maybe, his job performance has started many great depressions. Family tradition?

[Tom Servo]

Wilson Ramos went deep to leadoff the 2nd. 1-0 Nats.

[Ironman92]

Hopefully Lamb gets through this 2nd inning better than Jon Lester just did

[Tom Servo]

Lamb allowed a walk and a hit after the HR, but a sac bunt and groundout to third end further damage.

[OnBaseMachine]

Suarez has made two nice plays through two innings.

[Ironman92]

Lester in the 2nd inning:

HR
K
HR
2B
2B
1B
BB
1B
1B
1B

Mix in a wild pitch and he gone.

/Hate to hear that

#miserylovescompany

[Ironman92]

Lol, Harper was looking for a curve and Lamb threw a 66 mph frisbee and Harper couldn't wait. Hit the next curve 74 mph hard but harmlessly to BHam

[Ironman92]

The shift works perfectly with the 67 mph curve to Murphy

[Red Raindog]

JJ Hoover?

that would be the whiplash head doll

[jojo]

I know Votto sucks and he's pretty much toast at this point in his career. But while it was a selfish walk, that was a great at bat.

[Tom Servo]

Looking at the schedule, the Reds have this upcoming Thursday off. Makes the decision to sit Duvall today curious.

[Tom Servo]

Lamb walked Wilson Ramos to start the 4th. Seemed perhaps somewhat intentional given the HR he hit earlier. But then he walked Ryan Zimmerman on 4 pitches. Not good.

[Ironman92]

Lamb with 2 straight walks and all of a sudden isn't even close. Needs to get curve in there or I fear long grooved HR soon

[Ironman92]

3 straight walks

No need to give in now...make a good pitch man

[Tom Servo]

Another walk to load the bases, no outs.

Every time I think Lamb is turning the corner to a back of the rotation stalwart, he goes and does something like this :/

[Ironman92]

Lamb with 2 straight walks and all of a sudden isn't even close. Needs to get curve in there or I fear long grooved HR soon

Um...yeah

[Tom Servo]

Espinosa grand slam. Again. 5-0 Nats.

[BluegrassRedleg]

Gawd awful. Both the pitcher and the manager. Inexcusable.

We gotta get Price under contract for the next two seasons, can't afford to lose out on his valuable pitching insight.

Not a Price fan but how was it his fault?

[Tom Servo]

Maybe don't load the freaking bases on walks next time Lamb, thanks.

[BluegrassRedleg]

Not a Price fan but how was it his fault?

His guy walks the bases loaded and no one is throwing in the pen.

Hard to believe he's still managing this team. Utterly inept.

Lamb closes the barn door after the horses get out, as he retires the next three batters after the grand slam.

[CincyDave]

Yeah, we really fleeced KC on that Cueto deal.
Hmm... let's see: Finnegan with 4.50+ ERA, Reed gawdawful, Lamb a homerun giving-uping machine ...

[traderumor]

Danny Espinosa, lol, playing out of his mind, well on his way to folk hero status.

Are the Nats currently making the deal with the devil? Espinosa at short is working, Dusty was Plan B and he seems to be the right man for the job, they don't get Phillips and the consolation is Daniel Murphy, who is leading the league in hitting. Today, Strasburg, questionable up until game time, pitching a no-no.

PS Cueto isn't a Royal anymore.

Great at bat by Billy but a great leaping grab by Rendon

[Ron Madden]

Gotta believe the Reds have to be among the league leaders in Grand Slams given up by a pitching staff

I only feel bad for any remaining Reds fans out there (maybe that includes you).

So what's your favorite team now?

And Lamb continues his season of suck amidst the season of yuck (are we allowed to say that in a game thread?).

[Tom Servo]

Harper HR. 6-0 Nats.

His bullpen has been worn out over the last week. Time for Lamb to take one for the club.

[Ironman92]

Not sure what made Lamb or Cabrera feel like they could get an 86 mph fastball by Harper

[CincyDave]

(are we allowed to say that in a game thread?).

No. Some people take great offense at truth-speaking on this board.

[westofyou]

He's taking it from Marty currently

Waiting for the PED crusher to catch up with Espinosa. Unfair? Maybe. But I'm not buying what he's doing.

Reed has made 3 whole starts in the major leagues, you jamoke.

[jojo]

Well at least with Lamb around, there probably aren't may people missing Leake.

[Tom Servo]

single, double, 7-0 Nats.

Honey... I think the Lamb is done

Understand that, but you typically don't have a young prospect "taking one for the club."

[Ironman92]

This has potential to look like the Twins or Angels games yesterday.

[Ironman92]

50/50 on a position player pitching for Reds before this one is over

PS Cueto isn't a Royal anymore.

To be fair, the Royals won a world series.

[CincyDave]

Reed has made 3 whole starts in the major leagues, you jamoke.

Yeah, I'm sure he'll come around, just as he's hitting free-agency. A low-spend team like the Reds needs these guys to produce from Day 1.

BTW what's a jamoke? and why the name calling? Are you really reduced to that? Sad.

[jojo]

Uh no. Glad to know after three starts you know that he won't be any good for 5 years. If you want guys who produce on Day 1, they are likely mediocre role players. Prospects are not always major league ready immediately. What you would have done, CincyDave, resigned Cueto to a massive contract extension and then turned around and start bashing him for making so much money?

You are a jamoke because you're trolling under the guise of "truth telling", and bashing people here for being Reds fans. You weren't even telling the truth either, Finnegan's ERA isn't 4.5+, it's just under that, and of course it was in the 3.00s before that disaster outing last time out.

[jojo]

Oh, so you miss Leake? You (everyone) should.

He's been his usual below average for the Cards. I'm liking him a lot more now.

I stopped listening, but I can guess.

I bet the word "unacceptable" was used at least four times.

That's OK. More dollar hotdogs for us! Woohoo! :p

[Ironman92]

No, that is so dumb.

Yeah the guy a week short of his 26th birthday and his career high in wins for a season is 1 and career ERA+ in the 70's. Same thing as Leake.

[Tony Cloninger]

And people say or seem to want Finnegan to move to the bullpen or go back down to the minors.....as someone posted he might be going down in July after yesterday's performance.

Lamb needs to be the one going down and learn his craft a bit more.

[BluegrassRedleg]

Cubs beaten senseless prior to both of their last meetings with the Reds. Marty: "Boy, they're going to be spittin' fire when the Reds come to town."

[Tom Servo]

Can they please just fire Price (and Riggins) already? Riggleman for interim manager, roving pitching instructor Jeff Fassero to Reds pitching coach. I have little doubt that there would at least be modest improvement the rest of the way.

[Tony Cloninger]

Oh yeah? Well the jerk store just called and they're outta you!

[Tom Servo]

There's 0 chance that happens.

Not trolling and not bashing anyone for being a Reds fan (or fan of any other team FTM). And yes, you are right, Finnegan's ERA isn't 4.5+, it's 4.48. That's a HUGE difference. Sorry.

Also, not saying, nor ever said the Reds should have resigned Cueto (for $30 mil per?). Never said that. Where do you get that idea?
Saying that management did poorly on that deal. This is consistent with their doing poorly on most other deals in the past year.

[Tony Cloninger]

Understand that, but you typically don't have a young prospect "taking one for the club."


What vet should be the one doing this then? Simon took one for the club more times than a pinata.

[Ironman92]

Too bad for Strasburg he has too many pitches to finish this

[CincyDave]

Oh yeah? Well the jerk store just called and they're outta you!

Why are people such hostile a-holes on this board?

I said feel bad for Reds fans. It's called empathy. Try it.

[BluegrassRedleg]

All signs in place for a no-hitter, if they let Stras stay for the long haul.

[mth123]

IMO, Lamb is trying to be too cute with the 60 MPH pitches and and other stuff he does out there. He may make a guy look foolish once in a while, but it's something he should pull out once every three or four games, not as a part of his regular pitch assortment. Those pitches are the baseball equivalent of a flea flicker. Do it all the time and no one is fooled.

[Ron Madden]

Nats are flashing the leather!

[Ironman92]

Well, Reds helping him with pitch count now

[Raisor]

Can they please just fire Price (and Riggins) already? Riggleman for interim manager, roving pitching instructor Jeff Fassero to Reds pitching coach. I have little doubt that there would at least be modest improvement the rest of the way.

I have little doubt it wouldn't matter a bit.

If it did improve a bit Riggleman gets a three year contract. Does anyone want that?

[BluegrassRedleg]

Espinosa vs Reds: Lovechild of A-Rod and Ozzie Smith.

They got a 2014 first-rounder who has skipped the minors almost entirely and is now in the Reds rotation. Reed flat out dominated in 2015 for three different teams (Royals A+, Royals AA, Reds AA teams) and pitched very well in Louisville this year. Both of them are just 23. Lamb was a wild card. He showed some good stuff last year. This year not so much. Far as I'm concerned, he was always a throw-in.

You're bashing Reed for three major league starts, you have no credible argument.

[Tony Cloninger]

Is humor not part of your diet? Did you miss the 90's and Seinfeld? Do you poop out at parties? Not enough pep in your step?

You stated the Cueto trade was bad after barely a year. I sure hope the Reds give up on Reed too just like the Astros gave up on Curt Shilling after a year or 2 after that Davis deal with the Orioles.

[Ironman92]

Votto the peskiest power hitter

[BluegrassRedleg]

Are you pinch hitting for '75?

:laugh:

[Ironman92]

After a long AB Votto hits a Janish

Or for you guys with a shorter memory we can call it a Heisey

[jojo]

Just so everyone knows, I reported redszone to the FCC.

[Raisor]

After a long AB Votto hits a Janish


He really HAS turned heel.

Did he hit him with a chair or brass knux?

[Tom Servo]

Well, on the plus side, thanks to Votto's ABs today and Peraza's AB in the first, Strasburg is already at 90+ pitches through 6 AND coming off injury, so it doesn't seem too likely Dusty lets him stay in to complete the no-hitter.

I enjoy most of his routine when they go off-topic but I see why many don't. This game sucks, at least he's trying.

But I'm not sure I've heard any announcer/analyst/pitching coach speak about pitching and I agree with them more than I do with Brantley.

[BluegrassRedleg]

Giving up early, once in a blue moon, backfires (see also: Arrieta). Usually it is the right call. But no, there's no point in giving up on any of the three, after all, what's the risk? what's the alternative?

[chicoruiz]

Strasburg is officially gassed. Be nice if we could take advantage of it...

[Tom Servo]

Strasburg done at 109 pitches. We may (probably will) still get no hit, but it won't be a "no-hitter" in the traditional sense.

So we got that going for us, which is nice.

[Ironman92]

I rarely ever did...but totally agree with Dusty here. Hopefully he brings Juan Castro in to pitch now.

*** I know Dusty didn't do the Castro for Hamilton debacle decision***

[BluegrassRedleg]

Marty's said some dumb stuff today, but he hit the nail on the head re: recycling pitchers from AAA who have proven repeatedly that they can't pitch at the MLB level. At some point you've got to try something else or admit that you just don't have options.

[Ironman92]

Heisey out hitting the Reds now

[traderumor]

If you ever wondered how a AAA pitching staff would fare in the Bigs, watch and learn.

[Banshee]

Wow. Back to the BBQ.

[chicoruiz]

You know, if there was a "mercy rule" in the big leagues, at least the Reds bullpen wouldn't be so overworked...

Marty's said some dumb stuff today, but he hit the nail on the head re: recycling pitchers from AAA who have proven repeatedly that they can't pitch at the MLB level. At some point you've got to try something else or admit that you just don't have options.I think everyone knows they don't have options, including the Reds. Have they been trying to hide that? I mean, honestly, what are they going to do about this right now?

I was ticked about it at one point, early in the season, but I've moved on to acceptance. My current perspective is that the only thing worse than the Reds sucking is that it could be 1994 and a great team gets screwed by a strike and there is no baseball to watch in the summer, which also happened to forever change the economics of the game that left the Reds on the outside looking in.

Jumbo done in the middle of an at-bat. Hope you feel okay, big man, but don't come back.

Good to see Votto still in there

Oliver Perez still in MLB?

His first year he was teammates with Ray Lankford and Ron Gant

Perez has given up home runs to Doug Glanville and Chris Stynes

Another day of cleanup from the flood, so I stop by to see the score. Listed to Marty and he is correct on one thing. The poor roster management is old and has been going on for ages. Whoever thought that knowing Leake and Cueto were leaving and didn't consider some pitching acquisitions that were solid instead of trading for prospects was foolhardy. Bad contracts and not looking toward the future has resulted in this embarrassment on the field which will hurt more than losing ball games. We are in the second lost decade.

Like the jersey. Hate the cap. No thanks.

[Big Klu]

The 2010 4th of July cap was the best of the series, IMO. (I bought one on clearance in 2011 after that year's model was unveiled.)
