August 2, 2016 - Cardinals @ Reds

[androosh]

Here it is - the first post Bruce lineup :(

[Z-Fly]

I see Batdude is climbing up the lineup.

[Sea Ray]

Have we heard much about Duvall putting in work in RF? That transition's not as easy as just walking across the OF

[Z-Fly]

He'll be aight

[Chip R]

Have we heard much about Duvall putting in work in RF? That transition's not as easy as just walking across the OF

What are you going to do, sit him on the bench until he can play it perfectly? Might be a little easier in the 1st 3-4 innings since LF is the sun field.

[RedsBrick]

I hate the Cardinals.

[TheRedScare]

Ctrent tweeted that Price says Schebler/Duvall will start every day in LF/RF. Good.

[Wonderful Monds]

Ctrent tweeted that Price says Schebler/Duvall will start every day in LF/RF. Good.

He tweeted the opposite actually position wise, but Duvall the better fielder makes sense in RF which is what I think he meant anyway.

[RedlegJake]

Duvall has a good arm while that's the weakest of Schebler's tools. Duvall in RF makes sense, just might take a bit to get used to the different angles

[Sea Ray]

Hey, given this year, I throw him out there, no question. I'm just wondering what I can expect to see from him as I watch Reds games the rest of this year.

[BluegrassRedleg]

Duvall has a good arm while that's the weakest of Schebler's tools. Duvall in RF makes sense, just might take a bit to get used to the different angles

That's the main key with LF/RF decisions. They'll adjust to the other stuff. Pro athletes.

Pete on Fox Sports touting Bruce's RBI's & defense while saying he doesn't know what the FO is doing.

I'm going to miss Bruce - which comes as a surprise to me after the last couple years when I couldn't wait to see someone try it in RF...

[Big Klu]

No red jerseys for Straily tonight.

[TheRedScare]

Votto apparently had a take about the Jay Bruce trade on Cincy TV today, but I can't find what he said

[Elam]

Tough audio options for MLB.tv tonight:

These FS1 guys, not impressed so far
Marty
Or the empty sounds of the ballpark

[Tom Servo]

Lot of camera shots of the Cardinals dugout of possible future Reds manager David Bell.

(Okay, it came from Furman, but it does make some sense.)

[Tom Servo]

Long first inning for Straily, 26 pitches, but no damage.

Good ab by Billy so far

[Tom Servo]

10 pitch AB and walk for Billy against Wainwright, very nice. I vividly remember Wainwright making Billy look foolish back in April 2014.

[Puffy]

10 pitch walk. That's good, no?

Joey Votto, once again, not driving the ball. Where's Ghost of 90 to pontificate more for us. Damn non driving ball doubles!

[Big Klu]

Franchester doesn't know what to do, as Joseph Daniel comes through with an RBI extra-base hit with RISP.

Quick six pitch inning by Straily in the 2nd, much needed after the long first.

Found out today that the odds are pretty good that I'm going to be staying here in KC for the foreseeable future. I'm only contracted to be here another month, but it looks likely they will extend my contract, possibly until the end of next year.

Which means KC BBQ!

[Knightro28]

Despite his recent uptick, Wainwright doesn't look nearly as dominant as years prior.

[Big Klu]

CJ Nitkowski on color, don't recall the name of the PBP guy.

C.J. is pretty good.

[Tom Servo]

Announcers talking about Wainwright's velocity not being what it used to. ESPN announcers talked about it with King Felix the other night.

Makes it more incredible to me recently watching 'Fastball' that Nolan Ryan was still throwing mid 90s into his 40s, especially when his average workload was so much more than guys today.

Mouth guard. Similar to what football players wear.

Two out double by Holliday but no further damage. Still, giving up a HR to the pitcher is sub-optimal.

So much for Votto not getting hittable pitches, I guess.

[WrongVerb]

Schebler is right on these pitches. Nice!

[Tom Servo]

Schebler with a solid single to right in his 2nd AB

Suarez missed that by an inch or two outside the sweet spot. Next time around the Reds are going to rip Wainright.

Geno just missed that one.

Barnhart has really turned out to be a solid MLB catcher. Hopefully Mesoraco comes back healthy and the Reds will have a nice 1-2 punch there.

More likely that Barnhart has usurped the position from Mesoraco.

I look for Devin to be included as a sweetener in an offseason trade with an AL club.

Selling low on Mesoraco would be in line with the Reds' M.O., but I hope they let it play out. See if Devin can come back healthy.

[Big Klu]

C.J. Nitkowski to the defense of Votto's approach. Says that people should not be expecting him to "expand the zone" because he has demonstrated that he already knows the strike zone.

[Chuckie]

Duvall looks pretty much like Bruce when going back on balls in right.

[Z-Fly]

Maybe it's the park

My family stopped in KC for lunch two weeks ago on our way to visit family in Denver. Ate at Gates. It did not disappoint.

[Big Klu]

Schebler with his second hit!

[Donder]

Since the Bruce trade:
Bruce .000 OPS
Schebler 1.333 OPS

This front office is genius.

[Tom Servo]

That should help buy Scheb at least a little goodwill

[Donder]

Tough call on whether or not to pull Straily there. This bullpen recently has definitely made that call easier for Price.

[Big Klu]

Barnhart walks.

Holt pinch hitting for Straily.

Holt walks on four pitches! Bases loaded.

[Ironman92]

Like what I'm seeing of Schebler...getting his front foot down quicker.

Did he play LF or RF in the minors? If he played RF then I really don't like Duvall being moved.

[Ironman92]

Reds worked (Billy) Wainright and he's gone early forcing middle relievers.

[Tom Servo]

Billy nooooo

[Ironman92]

Darn it Billy...you aren't Joey. You have to protect there. Cannot take that pitch.

[AlaskaReds]

Ball 4 called strike 3

[Z-Fly]

Played LF the couple games I watched.

[Big Klu]

Well, who didn't see that coming?

[Tom Servo]

First pitch HR yet again

3-2 cards

[Ironman92]

Whew...kinda bull**** Joey. He missed it then pulls on the fans shirt chastising him.

[Big Klu]

lol Joey

Joey looks "intense" right now.

[Ironman92]

The fan is like...WTF?

[Big Klu]

The fan is like...WTF?

So is Joey.

[paulrichjr]

That was Joey's fault completely. He should have caught the ball and he for sure shouldn't have pulled on the guys shirt.

[WildcatFan]

Dude hit Joey's arm, but which one of us wouldn't be thinking about catching that ball in the moment? That stuff happens fast.

[Tom Servo]

Ohlendorf has given up 9 HRs in his 40 something innings, I really don't need to see him pitching in close ballgames this summer.


Although I am in favor of draft positioning, so maybe I do.

[William]

I think we're seeing the frustration of another losing season wearing on Votto. I personally thought that was hilarious

[Big Klu]

That was Joey's fault completely. He should have caught the ball and he for sure shouldn't have pulled on the guys shirt.

He'll probably end up getting fined and suspended for it.

[TheRedScare]

Wouldn't be surprised if Votto is fined for that, worth it tho

[Tom Servo]

I read it as yeah, he's annoyed he didn't catch it, but the shirt thing was joke like "Dude, c'mon, you're supposed to be with us!" I don't think he was legit pissed at that guy.

[KYRedsFan]

Whaaaa, Votto. That was bush

[Brutus23]

I read it as yeah, he's annoyed he didn't catch it, but the shirt thing was joke like "Dude, c'mon, you're supposed to be with us!" I don't think he was legit pissed at that guy.

He grabbed the logo... That is def what I believe he was trying to say

[reds44]

Votto is good

[Big Klu]

3-for-3 with a walk.

That's not bush.

[Donder]

I think we're seeing the frustration of another losing season wearing on Votto. I personally thought that was hilarious

I'm usually a fan of Votto's antics, I think that one was a little much though. I think he was legitimately upset. If he'd had a little grin at the end I would have thought it was all in fun.

I'll take 3-3 with a walk every night though.

[Ironman92]

So is Joey.

If the fan grabbed the Reds logo on Joey's uniform he'd be escorted out and maybe charged with something minor.

It was 100% heat of the moment and Joey probably could've caught that ball regardless and that fan could've assisted him letting him know he had room and he'd catch him or whatever....but that literally never happens. I don't care that Joey chastised him, I like that passion and fire....but would like to see a slight nod, point or whatever to the fan saying it's all good. That fan paid $100 for that seat and wouldn't be surprising if Votto was his favorite player.

On another note...Marty is sucking on some good good OB% lol

I'm as big a Price hater as anybody, but at some point you need to use these other jamokes. Wood HAD been pretty good of late.

Losses don't bother me much, but at home...to the Cardinals...when you had a lead late in the game. c'mon.

[_Sir_Charles_]

I cannot believe how bad Price is. Iggy rested and ready and who pitches the 8th?? Blake Wood. What a joke.

Come on guys. Wood has been throwing the ball quite well of late. Heck, the whole bullpen has been VERY good since the ASB. Crappy inning however. :(

[CarolinaRedleg]

Never fails. Even when this was a good team - they see the birds on the bat in the other dugout and inevitably wet themselves.

[Strikes Out Looking]

Why the hell is Broke Wood pitching? Iggy not available?

Now that Pereza's back in AAA, Price needed someone he isn't going to be pressured to play.

[Ironman92]

Two chances to pitch Iggy but nope, gonna lose this game for ignorant reasons. Ridiculous and no excuses.

[reds44]

I cannot believe how bad Price is. Iggy rested and ready and who pitches the 8th?? Blake Wood. What a joke.

He pitched three innings Saturday. Not sure he's rested.

Also not going to get on price for not pushing it with a valuable young arm on a bad team

[Donder]

So not watching the Mets game, but a couple people on twitter are saying they're booing Bruce. I wonder if they're actually "Bruuuuce"ing him. Hopefully the latter because the former would make me sad.

Votto currently has pulled ahead of Kris Bryant by OPS, btw.

We commoners make mistakes all the time and so do superstars....it's typically very easy to make it right. I commend those that do.

Come on guys. Wood has been throwing the ball quite well of late. Heck, the whole bullpen has been VERY good since the ASB. Crappy inning however. :(

But honestly when you have the Cards down you have to try to put them away. Period. Maybe I still think we should try to win games like this.

[_Sir_Charles_]

You don't know that. For all we know, Iggy has the flu and puking his guts up. All conjecture on our part. But regardless, prior to that inning...who exactly was complaining about the job Wood's done of late?

Or not...bunting

C'mon Joe Randa!

...didn't he have a 5 hit game for the Reds?

[TheRedScare]

Holy crap Renda is tiny

[Big Klu]

Tony Renda making his major-league debut, sporting the #49 previously worn by Rawly Eastwick and Rob Dibble.

(I'm a little surprised by that, as I have always thought of #49 as a pitcher's number. I expected him to wear #15.)

[_Sir_Charles_]

Bunt base hit!!! Nice! Welcome to the bigs Mr. Renda.

[Tom Servo]

We win the Chapman deal!!

[reds44]

Just so we're clear on some math here.

Relievers usually pitch an inning. If a pitcher pitches three days in a row, that would be considered a lot.

Iglesias threw 3 innings Saturday.

You'd be throwing him out there on two days rest off 3 innings. With a young arm with shoulder issues, I don't see how you can do that.

[Ironman92]

Great job Renda!

Great athleticism Adams!

Reason #889 on why having the worst hitter on the team bat in the 2 hole

[WildcatFan]

If Selena Gomez showed up whenever i played her song, I would never turn her music off.

She looks 15 and it bothers me. Clearly you've worked through it.

lol

Bryan Price batted De Jesus 2nd because he's such an intellectual

[Elam]

Well that wasn't ideal

[RedsLvr]

I was hoping for a squeeze from Bully. Too bad he doesn't know how to bunt.

[Ironman92]

Did Price have to leave DeJesus in the 2 spot? He just completely fell into the double play trap...perfectly scripted by the Cards. I was praying for a strikeout

[RedTeamGo!]

Billy K, ughh.

[BluegrassRedleg]

Ri-freakin-diculous.

I was hoping for Billy to lay a squeeze down. He really needs to learn how to bunt.

[WVRedsFan]

Batting Dejesus is really stupid, but pitching Diaz is worse.

The average is 2.2 bases loaded no out. We strive to bring it lower each opportunity we get.

Glad Jumbo finally got glasses so he can see where his pitches land.

(I haven't been in a game thread in months; I'm certain that joke has been made.)

A time-honored tradition passed down from Reds manager to manager.

Billy cannot K there and DeJesus can do anything but a DP. DeJesus should've only had 1 goal....get Votto to the plate

[Rantly]

Just started watching but this pbp guy seems like a Cards fan

[Big Klu]

I wonder if Garcia thought he was going to be stampeded by a herd of elephants on that play.

[Ironman92]

Nice play by Votto/Jumbo

[50YrRedsFan]

Jumbo jiggles to first for the out.

[RedTeamGo!]

This is what happens when Ivan Dejesus bats 2nd in your lineup. Hahaha.

[WVRedsFan]

Board freezing again

Have watched whole game....I think he's been good

[klw]

Is my Redszone broken or has no one posted since Billy k'd?

[Raisor]

Redszone is eating posts

[Ironman92]

Jumbo sucking...too bad Lorenzen or Iglesias might be dead for all we know.

[Big Klu]

I figured that the backup catcher (Castillo?) Was in the on-deck circle as a decoy.

[Ironman92]

Let's go boys....would love a surprising Phillips HR to win it

last chance

4-for-4 with a BB.

[Tom Servo]

Nothing can stop the Votto.
