No more games against the Cubs until late September after this, thank god. 1916 throwback uniforms today.

[cumberlandreds]

I saw the uniforms on Twitter. They look pretty nice.

[Z-Fly]

If possible, I'd appreciate if someone posted a picture of them here.

Thank you very much

[Chip R]

I like the uni better than the hat.

[cumberlandreds]

:jump: Home Run Cozart to start this bad boy!

[Wonderful Monds]

Cool, game's not televised. Awesome.

In some parts of the country the MLB Network will be picking it up at 4 pm.

1-0 Reds after half an inning.

[TheBigLebowski]

Those hats make me want to punch a scarecrow.

[cumberlandreds]

Cubs get a hit but that's it. 1-0 Reds after one.

[Tom Servo]

We've said it about Bruce, but Cozart really is a case where the Reds shouldn't just trade him to trade him. Between his defense and this power, he is a very good ball player right now.

(still would like the trades to happen tho)

[cumberlandreds]

1-0 Reds in the middle of the 2nd.

[NC Reds]

Brandon's defense has left much to be desired this past month.

[Tom Servo]

Not even Disco is immune to the Cubs. 2-1 bad guys thanks to a La Stella single, Rusell double (he needs to send the Reds a gift basket for his All-Star appearance), and Montero single.

[Wonderful Monds]

Brandon has left much to be desired this entire season.

[TheBigLebowski]

Brandon's defense has left much to be desired this past month.

[Tom Servo]

Disco wins the 10 pitch Italian battle against Rizzo, striking him out.

[Ron Madden]

The Reds game is now on MLB Network

[Tom Servo]

Disco through 5 now. 8 hits and 3 runs, but no walks and 5 punchouts. Zobrist touched him up for a solo dinger to make it 3-1 Cubs.

Cubs going to their bullpen now.

[Big Klu]

The Reds game is now on MLB Network

Not here. Blacked out.

[Wonderful Monds]

Not here. Blacked out.

Better get a cab lined up to Denny's....

[Wonderful Monds]

Huh. The pitching has actually gotten worse every month.

[Wonderful Monds]

Game is finally on. These uni's are SIKK.

[Tom Servo]

Disco through six at 92 pitches with a quality start, which is about what you hope for against the Cubs. 6 innings, 8 hits, 0 walks, 6 strikeouts, 3 earned runs.


Time for the offense to show some life.

[Ron Madden]

I like the 1916 uniforms.. I don't like the red band around the hat though.

[Wonderful Monds]

I like the 1916 uniforms.. I don't like the red band around the hat though.

I actually think that's a nice touch, haha.

..

Wow, I thought Bryant was strictly a 3B? He's played a good amount of CF???

[Wonderful Monds]

I thought Brandon was definitely going to get gunned down at 3rd there for sure.

1st and 3rd with only one away tho

[NC Reds]

Tucker!!!

[Wonderful Monds]

Barnhart!!! 3 run donger!!!! Reds up 4-3!!!

[Tom Servo]

Barnhart! :jump:

[Ron Madden]

3 run Homer Tucker Barnhart!!!!
4-3 Reds

[Wonderful Monds]

Hahahahaha Cahill's reaction

Holt! \o/

- - - Updated - - -

Wow, didn't realize how far Clonezart has fallen off the cliff. Why is Holt still on the roster again, lol

- - - Updated - - -

Dock Ellis mention!

Drink! Or, drop acid! Either way!

[Tom Servo]

Pretty surprised Price isn't keeping DeSclafani in, he's had less restraint with sending out the younger, more inexperienced guys for another inning.

[Wonderful Monds]

The blank hats for the Cubs are the dumbest thing ever.

[Tom Servo]

Wow, didn't realize how far Clonezart has fallen off the cliff. Why is Holt still on the roster again, lol

To be fair, when you play so little, a few 0fers will take the whole line down. Clonezart is a great nickname though.

[Wonderful Monds]

True that. I'm down for hanging on to him just so I can keep making Steve Holt references. :lol:

[Ron Madden]

I'm not very impressed with Tyler Holt's hitting.

[Wonderful Monds]

I'm not very impressed with Tyler Holt's hitting.

His jawline is pretty impressive though.

[Wonderful Monds]

LOL @ that hilariously tanned shirtless dude out in the bleachers during the stretch.

He is Cubs Fan Patient Zero.

[Wonderful Monds]

I only realized recently Lorenzen is now wearing #21 - so he obviously didn't have that last year with Frazier on the team.

What was his old number? I wanna say like...30, right?

[Wonderful Monds]

WHOA. Lorenzen just snagged that one out of the air going roughly a billion miles per hour.

[Tom Servo]

I only realized recently Lorenzen is now wearing #21 - so he obviously didn't have that last year with Frazier on the team.

50

[Wonderful Monds]

50

I literally typed that first and went "wait, no I think it was 30" lol

[Wonderful Monds]

Kris "I Hit A HR Everyday Against The Reds" is on deck, says WGN guy.


He's....not wrong, lol.

[Tom Servo]

I literally typed that first and went "wait, no I think it was 30" lol
The only #30s I can think of are Junior, Norris Hopper, and Jason Bourgeois :laugh:

[Tom Servo]

That 3-2 pitch from Lorenzen looked good to me

[Wonderful Monds]

The WGN color guy says some of the most bizarre stuff in between the usual banal commentary lmao

[Wonderful Monds]

SUCK IT BRYANT!

SUCK IT WHINY HOMER WGN GUY!

Seriously, the WGN crew are pathetic. As bad as the Reds' broadcasting team is, I'd take them 8 days out of the week over these clowns.

[Doc. Scott]

Lorenzen is going to get whooped if he keeps falling behind good hitters 3-0. Got pretty lucky in this frame.

[Tom Servo]

That 3-2 pitch from Lorenzen looked good to me
ump makes it up for it lol

[Wonderful Monds]

Carl's Jr. in to pitch.

Kate Upton in a bikini eating a bacon quadruple cheeseburger on deck.

[Ron Madden]

Thanks home plate ump for the called strike three to get the Cubs out in the 7th

[Wonderful Monds]

Literally any other Cubs team any other year, and not only do all three of those fielders chasing that one down collide with a each other, somehow a fourth would run in at last second and trip over the pile.

[Wonderful Monds]

Error. Cannot compute.

The Cubs last won a World Series before they started wearing these throwbacks as regular uniforms, lol

[Ron Madden]

I like how everyone of the Reds are wearing their pant legs pulled up to their knees.

[Big Klu]

The only #30s I can think of are Junior, Norris Hopper, and Jason Bourgeois :laugh:

Ken Griffey Sr.
Clint Hurdle
Guy Hoffman
Lloyd McClendon

We now get a light hearted story about hanging an elephant to death. :lol:


They should have had a patch on their unis celebrating the 8th anniversary of their World Series win.

[Tom Servo]

Gotta give him props, a 3 hit day for DatDude (even if they are all singles).

[Wonderful Monds]

Cubs finally Cub! WP scores Duvall! 5-3 Reds!

THIS IS WHAT YOU GET WHEN YOU PUT A SINGLE DIGIT JERSEY NUMBER ON A PITCHER.

[Big Klu]

We now get a light hearted story about hanging an elephant to death. :lol:

That had to be a strong rope.

[Tom Servo]

wild pitch makes it 5-3 Redlegs!

[Chip R]

I like how everyone of the Reds are wearing their pant legs pulled up to their knees.

That offends me. I'm going to write the Commissioner and see if I can have them fined.

[Ron Madden]

WP Duvall scores
5-3 Reds

[Z-Fly]

We now get a light hearted story about hanging an elephant to death. :lol:

What are they talking about that for, it happened in Tennessee?

[Chip R]

What are they talking about that for, it happened in Tennessee?

Vin Scully would have a way to bring it around to baseball and/or the game he's calling.

[Wonderful Monds]

What are they talking about that for, it happened in Tennessee?

It was a thing that happened in 1916, so therefore.... :lol:

[Wonderful Monds]

Lorenzen didn't dominate the last inning...

BETTER LEAVE HIM IN FOR ANOTHER!

[CySeymour]

Lorenzen didn't dominate the last inning...

BETTER LEAVE HIM IN FOR ANOTHER!

Considering the usual choices of relief pitchers, who else did you want the Reds to bring in?

[Ron Madden]

3-6 DP!!!

[Wonderful Monds]

Considering the usual choices of relief pitchers, who else did you want the Reds to bring in?

I don't know who's available actually, so idk. :lol:

STILL THO.

[Wonderful Monds]

Giordano's is good stuff for real though

Screw you behind the plate ads.

[Wonderful Monds]

Jay walks

I think this dude on the mound thinks the plate is in the RH batter's box, and is also floating 3 ft off the ground. :lol:

[Ron Madden]

Jay Bruce walks with one out in the top of the 9th

[Wonderful Monds]

Thought Cozart was gonna Gozart again there, just died on the track.

[Wonderful Monds]

"They didn't have TJ surgery back in the day, they just sent injured pitchers to the glue factory."

[Wonderful Monds]

Jay was safe on that SB, btw.

Even though he slid stupidly and tagged with his rear foot instead of his lead one AGAIN. :|

[Ron Madden]

he was safe his foot hit the bag before the tag

[Big Klu]

This is awkward.

[Wonderful Monds]

A challenger is not you, Reds. Call stands, Jay's out.

[Ron Madden]

WOW They Blew that call!

[Wonderful Monds]

I'm surprised Cingrani's ERA is that good tbh.

His K/BB is so bad right now. And his K rate itself is kinda concerning too, seeing as that's kind of his "thing"

[Wonderful Monds]

Cingrani is really in the throwback spirit, with the beard matching the rest of the uniform to boot.

[Ron Madden]

Reds Win!!!
Reds 5 Cubs 3

[Wonderful Monds]

2 in a row to remind the Cubbies that they are still..the Cubbies...and on their field.

Booh-yah!

[NC Reds]

Take that Cubs!

The pen was good for two days in a row. Stop the presses.

[Tom Servo]

We're still good! Suck it Cubs! :beerme:


Missed some earlier parts of the game, that ruling of a hit by Monteronin the 2nd that drove in a run was generous to Montero and BP and tough on Disco.

[Ron Madden]

Red Win The Series !!!
Reds 2 Games
Cubs 1 Game

[Big Klu]

On pace for 60-102.

[GADawg]

2 games to 1 series win on the road....proves what we all knew all along....Price is a far better manager than Maddon

[Raisor]

That's a damn good looking goat.

Not that I'm into goats, but still....

[cumberlandreds]

At least the Reds have one good starter to watch. Disco is very solid and I hope the other young guys are taking notes when he pitches. Another nice outing by him. When he pitches you feel like the Reds have a chance that day.
