With the trade deadline past, I'd go ahead and move Cozart down in the lineup if only to get Schebler more PA's.

Sure but can he handle being the newest Redszone whipping boy?

[TheTimeIsNow]

Pirates come into this series after two embarrassing series losses in Milwaukee and Atlanta. They have struggled against bad teams for a few years now. Last night's game was pathetic. Guys not running hard down the line (Jaso grounded into a double play without even leaving the batters box. Yes, that really happened.) a bunch of unearned runs because of terrible defense, and the offense was nonexistent against terrible pitchers. This is a big series for Pittsburgh. Either they will get back on track, or loss yet another series to a bad team. The Bucs have sucked against the Reds the past few years.

[Ironman92]

1. Billy
2. Joey
3. Duvall
4. Schebler
5. Cozart
6. Phillips
7. Suarez
8. Barnhart

I just really want Joey after Billy. If you want Cozart to lead off or Schebler once he cooks off fine.

I do not like virtually anyone else behind Billy if he's up in the lineup

[Tom Servo]

P(Jaso grounded into a double play without even leaving the batters box. Yes, that really happened.)
Boy has his line plummeted, rather predictably. Why isn't Josh Bell up and playing?

It wouldn't be fair to the rest of the league. And it would tire me out.

[TheTimeIsNow]

That's the million dollar question. It appears that the only person that doesn't think he should be called up is the GM.

[Chip R]

I'm going to set the over/under for total players hit in this series at 8.

[ScotlandRed]

Reds got 2 on 2 out. Taillon looks like he's got good stuff and knows how to pitch.

[ScotlandRed]

1-0 Reds on RBI single by BP after singlesby Cozart and Votto

[marcshoe]

Suarez threw the ball high. His improvement has ended. Cut him.

[ScotlandRed]

Another E by Suarez at 3B. Seems like when he tried to go even slightly side arm with the throw he can't locate it properly, which was always be the case when he's on the move.

[marcshoe]

I'm happy the Reds didn't trade Disco. I think he's going to be solid for a good while.

[Kc61]

Error cost Disco an additional 7 pitches to get out of that inning.

1-0 Reds.

[Red Raindog]

first mention of Harrison being a Cincinnati product -- or did I miss one already?

[redhawkfish]

As good as that play was, they should have given his home address!

[ScotlandRed]

I really like Descalfani but seems like he lacks a proper put a way pitch when he gets 2 strikes on hitters

[redhawkfish]

If you guys get the chance, you should check out a couple Reds games at PNC park sometime. I took my daughter for a series in April. It is a great park.

[marcshoe]

Grande mentioned it when he introduced the lineup.

[Red Raindog]

Harrison ends up in his Cincinnati dirt when gets picked off

[ScotlandRed]

Schebler still prone to swinging at the high fastball

- - - Updated - - -

Up got a big zone inside to RHH and outside to LHH a lot of balls getting called strikes there.

[Big Klu]

I've been there about 15 times over the years. As a Reds fan living about halfway between Columbus and Wheeling, driving to Pittsburgh is a much easier drive than going to Cincinnati.

It's a great ballpark!

[TheTimeIsNow]

The Pirates offense has gone a span of 79 plate appearances and counting without back to back hits.
Haven't had back to back hits since the first inning, two games ago.

[TheTimeIsNow]

I see that the Hit King, Billy Hamilton, has made the trip to Pittsburgh, yet again.

[WrongVerb]

New drinking game: every time Cozart fouls off a pitch from Taillon, you take a drink.

[RedsfaninMT]

:beerme:

[RedlegJake]

walks Freese on 4 straight after getting a strike. If they can't hit you just give them a base, c'mon Disco

- - - Updated - - -

wow - where did that fastball miss?

[RedlegJake]

challenging the Jaso fly out. Hurdle says he dropped it

[WrongVerb]

That ball never hit his glove before hitting the wall.

[kaldaniels]

It hit the wall boys. Get back in the dugout Price. It's a bad look.

[RedlegJake]

It's overturned. Drat darnnit. Now its tied on a sac fly

[WrongVerb]

I wonder if coaching in the future will include continuing the play until you know all possibilities are taken care of. If Cozart had stepped on 2nd and chased Jaso down as he trotted back to the dugout, then they could have gotten a double play there.

[Big Klu]

Saw that coming.

Squeeze bunt. 2-1 Pirates.

[RedlegJake]

2 runs on a walk, a double that Billy could have had (although I'm not calling him out - it was a difficult play, a can of corn sac fly and a bunt. Disco dinked to death.

[WrongVerb]

This Taillion guy is pretty good. Guessing he's out of the game soon.

[WVRedsFan]

Pirates have 2 hits--2.

[Tom Servo]

Lorenzen coming in for the 7th.

[RedTeamGo!]

Disco is wonderful.

[Tom Servo]

Two singles but no further damage against Lorenzen.

2-1 to the top of the 8th.

[Tom Servo]

One out walk to Votto.

Duvall nearly hits into a DP but legs it out.

[Tom Servo]

DatDude walks, big two on, two out spot for the Scheb.

[Tom Servo]

Schebler goes down swinging for his 3rd K of the game. There will be nights like that.

[lnn6574]

I'd like to see a not so "I'm hitting this one in the river" cut with two strikes.

Scoreless inning for Wood with a hit, 2 Ks and an intentional walk.

[Banshee]

Speedo Geno!

[Big Klu]

Ramon comes through! Sac fly!

[Big Klu]

Ross "Duck and Cover" Ohlendorf in to pitch. :eek:

[Big Klu]

Who didn't see that coming?

[Banshee]

Very Coffee'esque yr. by Ohlendorf. Just amazing to give up that many HR's while throwing 95. Must be straight as a stick.

[Red Raindog]

number 329 -- by my drunken count

First batter HR. So typical. Iggy,, where are you? Oh, yeah. Last night.

[Roy Tucker]

Welp.

[Red Raindog]

absolutely everyone // er no one

told you I was drunk ----

[RedsLvr]

Lol.

[Tom Servo]

HR number 10 allowed on the season by Ohlendorf. I salute him for helping out the draft pick cause, but they need to send him on his way because this is Hoover and Jumbo-esque.

[Banshee]

Lol.

George said 24, but he's been wrong before.

He was needed last night in a 7-0 game. Why would you want Iggy for 2 or 3 innings in a game like tonights?

[lnn6574]

Ole Faithful. Send him to Yellowstone.

On pace for 66-96.

[Big Klu]

Sean Rodriguez has a man bun. He should be beaten with a sock full of dimes for that alone.

[Tom Servo]

Ross would be a solid reliever this year if he could keep the ball in the yard. But he can't, so he isn't.

[RedsLvr]

He was needed last night in a 7-0 game. Why would you want Iggy for 2 or 3 innings in a game like tonights?

A 7 run lead wouldn't be large enough for Ohlendorf. At least this prevent us from another 4 hour loss.

[RedTeamGo!]

Lolz

[Tom Servo]

Cubs DFAed Joe Nathan today. His first choice would probably be a contender, but if he'd come here I'd pick him up to mentor the youngsters and munch some relief innings.

[kaldaniels]

I can't believe this guy beat us.

[WVRedsFan]

He was needed last night in a 7-0 game. Why would you want Iggy for 2 or 3 innings in a game like tonights?I felt like he should not have been used in a 7-0 game knowing how the Pirates play us so hard. Just an observation.

[Big Klu]

Jim Day asked Price if he has ever seen anything like the number of first-batter HR's given up by the bullpen. He said that has a really good answer for that question but it probably wouldn't be able to be broadcast on the air, so he would leave that question alone.

[Mutaman]

Mutaman yesterday:

"Tomorrow night when Ohlendoroff comes in for the 8th inning and blows a one run lead we should both man up and not say a word. its "rebuilding". "

Nuff said.

[GADawg]

just finished the recorded game.....who didn't know that was gonna happen? I feel like Lorenzen HAS to walk the leadoff guy(but not tonight, thank you) and Ohlendorf thinks it's a rule to give one up to the leadoff hitter
