Going to be hot and I'm going to be there! My 42nd birthday. Go Reds!

[Ironman92]

Woo Hoo

[Wonderful Monds]

Time to randomly flip flop Cozart and Hamilton!

I mean, I think that makes more sense anyway but...eh whatever.

[Raisor]

This was the lineup yesterday too.

[Wolves198921]

Not a bad lineup. I wish they were pitching a better pitcher for Saturday prime time but Sampson may play well. I expect a high scoring affair.

[cumberlandreds]

Reds offense better be on top of thing tonight. They are going to need a lot of runs to win this one.

[Big Klu]

Are the Diamondbacks out of their minds? They actually think that Segura was hit on purpose in a one-run game with nobody out and 2-3-4 following in the lineup? Chip Hale is talking about "retribution"? Maybe their jerseys really should read, "D-Bags".

[Tom Servo]

What a catch by Billy, that ball was hammered.

[mth123]

Billy saved SAAAAmpson there.

[Tom Servo]

God can't this boring inning just end already.

[Raisor]

I went with Sampson on my Draft Kings team today. Cheapest starter in the 6pm games. That way I could spend more on other positions.


I might have made an error.

[mth123]

Struggled but only 1 run. Josh Smith will see some innings tonight. Sampson probably only has a couple more innings in him after tat. After going 4 in relief of Lamb, I'd hoped we'd get 6 out of Sampson.

I'd give you 4 A's for that decision.

[Big Klu]

Billy Hamilton doing what a leadoff hitter does.

Hale and the Snakes are preaching retribution for that.

I shouldn't be surprised at anything they do, since they put Mephistopheles in charge.

[Tom Servo]

Billy steals 2nd and seems in some pain from the slide. His durability is a real issue, IMO.

[Tom Servo]

Robbie Ray can throw 96? I had no idea.

- - - Updated - - -

Ray throws behind Votto up near the head. Apparently unintentional.

[Wonderful Monds]

The D-Backs collection of uni's all look like some horrible arena football abominations.

Though, they did bring back the purple/green uni's from the 00's back as their alternates. I wouldn't mind if the Reds did the same with the 00's vest uni's like they did the other day. They still looked perfectly modern, and would be perfect with just a few minor tweaks (all red caps, remove the drop shadow on the letters, basically all the black trim.)

There will be retribution against Votto for daring to get out of the way.

[Wonderful Monds]

Second time this week Joey has Jedi Mind Tricked his way out of a run down. :lol:

[Tom Servo]

That, uh, happened.

[Wonderful Monds]

That, uh, happened.

Again.

[Wonderful Monds]

Diamondbarves.

2-1 Reds. :lol:

[Big Klu]

There will be retribution against Duvall for hitting a ball to someone who might commit an error.

[Tom Servo]

Reds score a pair of runs thanks to a groundball at 3B from Duvall that the D'bags botch!

[Raisor]

Draft Kings update:

Things are going well.

[Tom Servo]

DatDude2B!

3-1 Redlegs.

[Big Klu]

Retribution against DatDude2B for hitting an RBI double!

[Wonderful Monds]

I will concede: 11 game hitting streak with injuries abound considered, it seems like BP may be on a Haterade fueled hot streak. :laugh:

[Wonderful Monds]

They should have called up John Lamb and see if any wacky J. Lamb-Freaky Friday craziness occurred with Jake.

[mth123]

Wow. Still only the starting the second inning. Gonna be a lot of pitchers. Sorry Raisor. Not sure how draft kings scores, but if a win from Sampson is needed, I don't see any way he gets to 5 innings given his first. Need a 5 pitch inning for you.

things are working pretty good right now.

[mth123]

9 Pitch inning. Good for Sampson.

[Raisor]

9 Pitch inning. Good for Sampson.

Better for Raisor

[mth123]

Better for Raisor

Bottom of the order. Next inning tells the tale IMO.

Not a joke: Source says Sale blowup was because he didn't want to wear throwbacks, so he cut the jerseys up so no one could wear them.

[Big Klu]

Segura was so furious that DatDude fielded his routine grounder that he had to be restrained.

Retribution against Phillips for that one!

[Big Klu]

Better for Raisor

How ya lookin'?

[Tom Servo]

Seeing some good things from Sampson tonight, nice K of Lamb.

[Tom Servo]

John Travolta and his beard- I mean, wife, in attendance tonight.

[Tom Servo]

Single and a walk for Votto tonight so far.

[Big Klu]

Retribution against Votto for hitting the ball too hard for Segura to get to it.

[Big Klu]

Retribution against Bruce for hitting a three-run homer!

[Tom Servo]

Bruuuuuuuuuce! :jump:

3 run shot!

[mth123]

Bruce!!! Cue Klu!

Damn dude just request a trade if you want one. :eek: :lol:

Panera doesn't believe in dirty food. They wash their lettuce before serving it.

[TheRedScare]

Suarez...man.

[Wonderful Monds]

Suarez Edwin's one a bit.

[Big Klu]

This is revenge for Adam LaRoche's son.

14 year olds gotta stick together man. It's a rough world out there for a mere boy.

[Wonderful Monds]

Sampson - not a tire fire so far. :thumbup:

[Kc61]

Game seems much easier when you get good pitching. Way to go Keyvius.

[Big Klu]

Well, as Roger Daltrey reminds us, "A young man ain't got nothin' in the world these days!"

According to reports, he didn't want to wear them because they weren't comfortable.

If you look at pictures of them, they are designed to be worn untucked! How much more comfortable can you get?!

[Wonderful Monds]

Robbie Ray, grow a last name, SCRUB.

[Wonderful Monds]

Whoa, foul ball just knocked the home ump's mask off after bouncing off Tucker's. :lol:

[Wonderful Monds]

Keyvius out after a solid spot start. Still like his upside as a potential MR pen guy.

Butthead in. Err, Lorenzen.

[Big Klu]

Price with the hook, pulling Sampson after 4⅓ innings.

Lorenzen in to pitch.

[Wonderful Monds]

Bourn got screwed there admittedly lol.

[Big Klu]

Retribution against Lorenzen and umpire Rob Drake for that K.

[Mutaman]

Well, as Roger Daltrey reminds us, "A young man ain't got nothin' in the world these days!"


Actually that line was written by a fellow named Mose Allison.

[Wonderful Monds]

Bruce comes in from deep RF to snag out 3.

THERE WILL BE BLOOD.

[Wonderful Monds]

Bruce with his second donger seemingly, ruled a 2B, reviewin' it.

[Tom Servo]

boooooo stands as a double

[Big Klu]

Double for Bruce. He thought about going for three, but put on the brakes.

[Mutaman]

Actually that line was written by a fellow named Mose Allison.

Roger and the boys gave him credit on Live At Leeds. Very un-Zeppelin like,

[Wonderful Monds]

Wasted time on the review.

Someone will pay.

[Wonderful Monds]

The D-Backs do suck. I wonder how much Segura would cost...

[Mutaman]

I bought tix to go see Cueto in the Bronx tomorrow. So today Bochy flips his rotation and pitches JC. Says he decided to do it a few days ago but forgot to tell anyone. Plus Chapman pitched two innings today so i won't see him either.

[Big Klu]

That's at least the second time Jim Day has dropped a "Stayin' Alive" after a Reds player has fouled off a two-strike pitch.

Coincidence? :D

I don't think I could handle a day at the park this weekend, I'm sweating through t-shirts just going a few blocks outside.

[Ironman92]

Nice free hats!

[Big Klu]

Retribution against Barnhart for making that play in front of the plate.

[Wonderful Monds]

Hello, crickets.

[Mutaman]

I don't think I could handle a day at the park this weekend, I'm sweating through t-shirts just going a few blocks outside.

Could be a problem. Doubt I'll get in to the Stadium club. if its get too bad I adjourn to the ac at Stan's or the Yankee Tavern. Then i'll eat my pastrami from the Court Deli.

Firing gas warming up in RF right in front of us

[Big Klu]

Retribution against the official scorekeeper for scoring that play, "defensive indifference", instead of a stolen base.

[Raisor]

How ya lookin'?

Having a big night on Draft Kings but we will see

[Ironman92]

Reds going to be 5-0 in games I attend....

I heard once that wearing an untucked jersey on the baseball field is like wearing a tank top to a job interview....I believe that to be true

[cumberlandreds]

Reds going to be 5-0 in games I attend....


We need to buy you season tickets.

[Ironman92]

We need to buy you season tickets.

I must add all 5 games in sun/moon deck or Reds dugout side in the bottom bowl.
