[Ironman92]

Go

Fight

Win

[Banshee]

Billy single on first pitch. Need you on 3rd BH!

[Big Klu]

As good as last night's Brewers uniforms were, tonight's are the worst.

[TheRedScare]

Hamilton has been a machine at getting on base since the break

[Ironman92]

Billy vs Davies....lightest matchup in a decade I imagine. Carter could stuff one in each pocket.

[Big Klu]

The red jerseys don't look bad on the road. I'm sure Straily is happy about them.

[TheRedScare]

Thom really wants us to think that Votto isn't having a good year

[Tom Servo]

Thom bashing Votto again.

[Ironman92]

Oh my GOD Thom stfu

[Big Klu]

THom: "OBP and walks are the only categories in which Votto ranks in the top ten in the NL. He moved into a tie for tenth in runs scored last night, but he only ranks in the top ten in OBP and walks."

[Raisor]

Thom bashing Votto again.

Should I even ask?

[Ironman92]

Davies won the battle. Didn't allow a steal and didn't give Votto a cream puff or a walk

[Raisor]

THom: "OBP and walks are the only categories in which Votto ranks in the top ten in the NL. He moved into a tie for tenth in runs scored last night, but he only ranks in the top ten in OBP and walks."

:bang:

[Big Klu]

I didn't realize that Votto sucked when Jim Kelch, Jim Day, and George Grande were handling play-by-play. They should have told us. I'm glad THom has set us straight on this.

[Tom Servo]

Barnhart comes up just shy of gunning down Villar at 2nd but gets him at 3rd.

Brewers challenging the call.

[Big Klu]

I think that when a player is called out, he should have to leave the field until the challenge is completed. If he's declared safe, then he can return to the field.

[Big Klu]

THom really is bad at math. He commented that Suarez is hitting in the .230's, but hit .179 in May. He then said that if Geno had hit .209 in May, then his average would be around .265.

Raising your average 30 points in a month doesn't raise your average 30 points in a year unless that month is the only month in which you played.

[Big Klu]

I'm still getting used to Jim Gantner...er...Scooter Gennett hitting 4th for he Brew Crew.

[Tom Servo]

Thom doesn't even try to make conversation on Chris' BABIP point.

[TheRedScare]

Thom doesn't even try to make conversation on Chris' BABIP point.

Welsh is a former 80s major leaguer, Thom is..uh..the son of a broadcaster. You wouldn't think Welsh would be the more progressive baseball guy.

[Big Klu]

Thom doesn't even try to make conversation on Chris' BABIP point.

It's over his head. It might as well be astrophysics or quantum mechanics as far as he's concerned.

[Banshee]

Billy is fast.

[Tom Servo]

Billy with a hustle triple

[TheRedScare]

too bad Votto isn't top 10 in any important categories. /s

[Banshee]

Joey V. rbi single! 1-0 redlegs! And tHom gushes..

[Tom Servo]

Votto finally makes Thom happy with an RBI single.

"SoooOo delicate"

weird

[Big Klu]

Votto finally makes Thom happy with an RBI single.

"SoooOo delicate"

weird

It was "only" a single.

#notelite

[Tom Servo]

5 strikeouts for Straily the first time through the order

[Tom Servo]

Nice play by Geno

[Tom Servo]

That's the way it's going for Schebler right now, hammers a line drive but snagged by 1B Chris Carter.

[Tom Servo]

Hernan Perez RBI double, Gennett called safe at home on a close play. I don't knowwwwww.

[Banshee]

I think he's out.

And he is, great relay by BP and tag by Tucker. Shebler the weak armed looked OK w/ that throw as well.

[Tom Servo]

Reds win the challenge, out at home! Nice play by Schebler to Phillips to Barnhart to get the runner.

1-0 Redlegs to the 5th.

[WVRedsFan]

Through four innings, 1-0 Reds. Protested play at the plate and the Reds won the challenge. Stairly looked a little shaky that inning.

[Big Klu]

That was a great overhead camera angle, the kind you can only get in a domed stadium.

[redsmetz]

Dan, when you're the leadoff batter, just go up there and swing hard. You might actually run into the ball.

[WrongVerb]

The future Mrs. Verb (and confirmed Giants fan): These [Reds] announcers are something else. (She didn't mean it in a positive sense.)

:luvu:

[Larkin Fan]

It would have been better to have Thom do the broadcasts while he was still on full vocal rest.

[Big Klu]

I think it might be Hat Night at Miller Park tonight. I see a lot of people in the crowd wearing the road cap from the 80's.

[Tom Servo]

Scoreless 5th for Straily, 6 strikeouts.

[Tom Servo]

Votto singles off of the 150lb body of pitcher Davies.

[Big Klu]

Votto singles off of the 150lb body of pitcher Davies.

#notelite

[Tom Servo]

Duvall with another single, he's swinging a hot bat the last few games

[Tom Servo]

BP singles to right to score Votto

2-0 Redlegs

Wild pitch scores another one

3-0 Redlegs

[Larkin Fan]

BP singles to right to score Votto

2-0 Redlegs

Wild pitch scores another one

3-0 Redlegs

Is Votto now in the top 10 in 3 categories? #notelite

[Banshee]

Genio HR, beats the suicide to death!

[Tom Servo]

Suarez! :jump:

6-0 Redlegs

[Fil3232]

BP has been really, really good over the last month or so.

[WVRedsFan]

Sometimes I just think that the Reds need to play lesser competition more often.

[Banshee]

The Brewers really don't want to finish ahead of the reds. Comedy of errors tonight.

[WrongVerb]

Sometimes I just think that the Reds need to play lesser competition more often.

They'd do quite well playing the Bad News Brewers every night.

[Big Klu]

Two errors on the play. E2 allows Barnhart to take 2nd, and E6 allows Straily to reach 1st and Barnhart to take 3rd. No SAC.

[Banshee]

More good news down on the farm for Senzel:

Doug Gray ‏@dougdirt24 4m4 minutes ago
Right on cue by @TomNichols02 who was talking about all of the XBH for Nick Senzel, he hits his 3rd double of the game. #stud #Reds

[Tom Servo]

Cozart finally gets a hit on the night to make it 7-0 Redlegs

[Banshee]

Votto double. tHom will gush.

[Kc61]

This inning is great. I hope it never ends.

[WVRedsFan]

Votto on fire.

[Tom Servo]

Votto RBI double (single if they didn't have an infielder playing the OF out there)

8-0 Redlegs

[WrongVerb]

The camera held on Counsell for a second in the dugout and the look on his face was a mixture of pain and disbelief. Almost feel sorry for him. Almost.

Votto over .300 now. #notelite

[Tom Servo]

Duvall sac fly makes it 9-0 Redlegs

[WVRedsFan]

Duvall SF. 9-0

[WrongVerb]

Remember kids, no lead is safe with some of the guys the Reds have in their bullpen right now.

[Banshee]

Another GREAT start for Straily btw. Becoming a trend.:thumbup:

[Tom Servo]

Still a month and a half of baseball to play, but I'll just throw this out there about Suarez:

His line in age 24 season, first full season as the regular 3B: .239/.302/.420

Frazier's line in age 27, first full season as a regular 3B: .234 .314/.407


Biggest difference of course is the defense, but Geno is looking like a totally different player in that regard of late.

[Strikes Out Looking]

Is Bham out due to the lead or some other reason?

[Tom Servo]

Braun solo HR ends the shutout.

[WVRedsFan]

Long layoff seems to have bothered Straily's effectiveness. It's only the 6th and Jumbo is warming up. Uh Oh.

[Tom Servo]

Votto is in top 10 in OPS as of right now lol

suck it Thom

[Strikes Out Looking]

Votto is in top 10 in OPS as of right now lol

suck it Thom

Average sitting at .299

[WVRedsFan]

Dear God, let Staily finish this inning well. Jumbo can tie this game quickly.:)

[Tom Servo]

Alright, probably need to take Straily out

[WVRedsFan]

Holt is not BHam

[Tom Servo]

Reds gonna Brewer

[Big Klu]

Where was THom going with that Call of Duty question? Jim Day derailed him pretty quickly.

[WVRedsFan]

This might get ugly.

[Banshee]

I(and the loooong inning/8 runs) jinxed Straily.

[Tom Servo]

Where was THom going with that Call of Duty question? Jim Day derailed him pretty quickly.
Think he just wanted to make fun of video games.

- - - Updated - - -

Yumbo!

[Mutaman]

As usual Bryan is too early or too late.

[Tom Servo]

As usual Bryan is too early or too late.
Only thing I can blame him for here is taking out Billy, assuming he wasn't injured. A bit early to be putting the B squad.

[Big Klu]

YUMBO! needs a little skull and crossbones to put on the bridge of his glasses, like Ricky Vaughn.

[Tom Servo]

Cozart soft tossed a possible DP ball and they only get one out. 9-2 game.

[RedsBrick]

Baseball's a funny, funny game. Straily gives up 10 hits and only 1 ER. Other days 2 hits can surrender 4 or 5.

[Powder River]

What the heck was with Cozart on that one?!?

[Mutaman]

Does Jumbo ever throw inside?

[Powder River]

With those new glasses all Jmbo needs is one of those little propellers for the top of his hat - the complete look.

[Mutaman]

The slider ant 3-2 to a .200 hitter was a heck of an idea. Who called that?

[WrongVerb]

What time did the top of the 6th inning start? First post referencing the inning was Tom's at 8:51.

[Tom Servo]

Never doubted YUMBO

[Mutaman]

Thank you Mr Flores. I really dislike Bryan price.

[Powder River]

Jumbo coming up big.

[WVRedsFan]

Beards on some of these players look really bad...

[PutPeteIn]

Reds still in position for miracle run.
16-10 since break after this one concludes.
If we sweep the Brew Crew its on!
Back home for 10 straight!!!

[Tom Servo]

Nice double for Geno

[WVRedsFan]

Reds still in position for miracle run.
16-10 since break after this one concludes.
If we sweep the Brew Crew its on!
Back home for 10 straight!!!No offense, but you really need to lay off the drugs :)

[Tom Servo]

10-2 Reds on a DP botched by Milwaukee

[Mutaman]

No offense, but you really need to lay off the drugs :)

Dude is anti beards and anti drugs.

[PutPeteIn]

Votto batting .455 in 26 gms since ASB.
No coincidence the Reds will be 16-10 in those games.
Votto is the hottest hitter on planet earth right now and the Reds are quite possibly the hottest team in the 2nd half with another win tonight coupled with the Cubbies L.
Its damn sure close.
The Reds are freaking smoking guys.

[Tom Servo]

Reds pitchers letting Braun pass Votto on the OPS list :nono:

[Tom Servo]

Like seeing Disco, Homer, and Reed talking in the dugout. Think those three could make a really good trio.

[Mutaman]

I knew Jay was walking into a bad situation, but this is ridiculous.

[Mutaman]

Wood continues to move the ball around and make good pitches. Braun hit a nice slider on the inner part of the plate.

[Tom Servo]

I knew Jay was walking into a bad situation, but this is ridiculous.
Man, the rebuilding Yankees could end up with a better record than the Mets.

[Banshee]

Votto's lack of power really rearing it's ugly head tonight.

[Tom Servo]

Votto double again, didn't miss a HR by much.

[Mutaman]

Man, the rebuilding Yankees could end up with a better record than the Mets.

The Reds could end up with a better record thAn the Mets. :)

[PutPeteIn]

Votto 4 for 5 tonight now over 300 at .301!
Hell, if he keeps this up Murphy better watch his back!
47 gms to play is alot!
JV now 42 for 91 since ASB or .461!
This is why I sport the mans jersey at nearly 50 yrs old.

Same here, proudly.

[PutPeteIn]

All 4 of the pitchers the Reds have used tonight have ERAs under 4 and none of them are names Iglesias, Lorenzen or Cingrani...who by the way all have ERAs under 4 as well.
You guys can keep making fun of me all you want but this club has suddenly turned into a steam roller.

They are playing better, but even reaching .500 would be a miracle. Better chance of hell freezing over than the Reds making the playoffs.

[Mutaman]

Proving you can not throw that 91 MPH fastball right down the pipe, even to a guy like Maldonado. Very bad pitch.

[Big Klu]

Why was Holt jumping for that home run ball?

[RedlegJake]

Pete, any fun making is not malicious. It's nice to have a dyed in the wool optimist who never gives up on the Reds. Refreshing break from "the worst run team in baseball" folk....

[Big Klu]

100% of Panera's food will be clean by year end? Does that mean that they have been serving dirty food to their customers?

[Mutaman]

I vote for neither.
Don't get too up when you win, don't get too down when you lose.
Jeter

[PutPeteIn]

Ok....so I jinxed Smith a bit.... Its a blowout anyway....

[RedlegJake]

100% of Panera's food will be clean by year end? Doe that mean that they have been serving dirty food to their customers?

That made me laugh...and think....

[Mutaman]

Somebody should file a missing persons report for one Tony Cingrani. or... let him stay lost.

- - - Updated - - -

Wonder if Smith will force him to bring in inglaisas?

[WVRedsFan]

This win also means another series win. That was a foul ball...Oh, well

[PutPeteIn]

Miami loses again.
After this gm is over the Reds will be but 11 back in loss column for 2nd WC with still 47 to play.
The miracle 2nd have run continues tomorrow afternoon.

[Tom Servo]

We're still good! :beerme:

[Mutaman]

Smith traded outs for runs which I guess was all we could ask.

[Big Klu]

On pace for 68-94.

[PutPeteIn]

Votto is hitting .385 v the righty Peralta in 26 ABs.
That stat coupled with how hot Votto is since the break and I see Votto somehow going 6 for 5 tomorrow afternoon.
He he....

[Tom Servo]

Mark Sheldon ‏@m_sheldon 41s41 seconds ago
Jammed hand for Hamilton, Price said. Will be evaluated again tomorrow #reds

nooooooo

[PutPeteIn]

I was hoping that Price took him out because of the blowout but I had my doubts. Did he dive head first on the triple and if so he needs to stop. You can bet he wont play tomorrow.

[Ironman92]

Horse crap.

[PutPeteIn]

He may be ok because he was in there and scored in the 7th.
Possibly high fived with someone too hard?
Probably more precaustionary with the gm in hand than anything.
He may go tomorrow.
Just my opinion.

[Wonderful Monds]

100% of Panera's food will be clean by year end? Does that mean that they have been serving dirty food to their customers?

Dirty Salads: This Secret About Panera Will Totally Shock You!

[cumberlandreds]

Another series win. You have to give this team credit for not throwing in the towel after that terrible loss against ST. Louis the other night. It would have been easy to do that. They are showing some character and maybe some good omens for the future.

[Tony Cloninger]

100% of Panera's food will be clean by year end? Does that mean that they have been serving dirty food to their customers?

I like my food dirty. Like my women.

nooooooo

The guy gets hurt every week, sometimes day. It's flipping annoying with the way he has been hitting.
