1-2-3 first inning for Weaver.

[BluegrassRedleg]

Per the FSN broadcast, Votto needs to go 4-for-9 these next two days to become first Red ever to hit .400 in back-to-back months.

Angels look a lot better than their record.

Angels look a lot better than their record.

Hitting against Reds pitching will do that.

[BluegrassRedleg]

Weaver has always reminded me a bit of Arroyo.

You the man, Klu! Those are GREAT unis. So much better than what they have now.

[Tom Servo]

Cron again.

Anything worth watching other than Joey at bat? Nope

I'm calling for a big break-through here in the next inning or so versus Weaver. Takes a time through the order to get used to all this soft-tossing junk. They'll zero in on him soon.

[Big Klu]

Three hard outs in addition to Votto's hit.

[Tom Servo]

I get what Chris is getting at with praising Weaver here, but bruh, look at his season stats. Bad.

[Tom Servo]

Jose Havoc with a pair of knocks and a stolen base (also a caught stealing).

Reds being shut out through 5 though by a guy who might be out of the league next year.

The Reds will sign him based on this performance ;)

[Tom Servo]

Joey Havoc with another hit

[WVRedsFan]

Suarez HR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 3-2. 20 for the man.

[WrongVerb]

I less-than-three Suarez!! :jump:

[fondfoat]

There you go. Had to happen eventually. They will probably pull Weaver now.

[Tom Servo]

Eugenio Havoc

Eugenio Suarez becomes the 10th #Reds third baseman in modern history to hit 20 home runs in a season.

[BluegrassRedleg]

Momma Lorenzen has a Reds #50 jersey. Was that his original number? I can't recall.

Yes.

Scoreless inning with 2 strikeouts by Lorenzen in his hometown, good stuff.

[fondfoat]

Okay. Cozart, Votto, Duvall. Reds to take the lead

Didn't that previous Angels reliever have a two-toned glove, and didn't another pitcher have to change gloves?

[BluegrassRedleg]

Dang. Duvall just missed that 0-2 pitch. I thought that was going to be crushed.

Bad call on Scheb? That did not look like he offered.

On a side note, I see that Cueto had a rough time of it. 36 pitches in a 4 run 5th innings before he was pulled. I read that he had a 3-2 pitch called a ball that was actually a strike before it all fell apart.

[WVRedsFan]

Please don't put the camera on Mama Lorenzen now

[BluegrassRedleg]

Geez. Simmons gets an RBI single off a horrible cut at a good pitch from Lorenzen. #baseball

Suarez is soooooo slow. Painful. But a great bunt. Oh well.

Peraza's 4th hit of game brings tying run to the plate.

Yeah, but did he need to bunt?

Not a bad idea. Just don't think he's quick enough to pull it off.

Great job Pereza. 4 from 4. .500 in August.

[BluegrassRedleg]

Holy cow. Hamilton looked to have an RBI double (or triple) and it was called foul. Reds may be challenging.

[fondfoat]

Ohhhh...inches foul!!!

EDIT: 1 inch foul!!!!!

[BluegrassRedleg]

Foul ball by millimeters. Brutal. Angels score on completely crap swing by Simmons and Reds do not on a great cut by Hamilton. Unlucky night for the good guys.

Are you kidding me??? Another one in the same spot foul by Hamilton.

Terrific AB by Hamilton. Growth as a hitter this year. Works 0-2 count to 3-2 with several foul-offs and a good eye.

10-pitch AB, Billy draws a walk.

Tell Billy's been working with Votto.

[BluegrassRedleg]

Damn. Cozart pops up on infield to end it.

Can the Reds just never play in LA again, please?

Classic Cozart popup. Upwrd swing, the head goes up and it's an out. I don't know he does it the same way every time.

[Big Klu]

On pace for 68-94.

You the man, Klu! Those are GREAT unis. So much better than what they have now.

Those are classic Angel uniforms. Much better than those beer league softball uni's they wear now.

What gets me is why Price is hitting him 2nd still? I thought SS bats 2nd but not Peraza who is clearly a better option there now. Just for speed alone and contact skills.

Why they fixate on Cozart as a 2nd place hitter is disturbing. They hung him two breaking balls......and he looked lost. Why Price has kept Cozart there while Suarez heated up in this 2nd half
or anytime Peraza is playing is a small thing but just very annoying.

[Tony Cloninger]

Agree. They had a better look in the early to mid to late 90's as well. Well that ended though when Disney bought them and the uniforms have become below average since then.

[cumberlandreds]

I wonder if the Reds could apply for an exemption to use the DH for the catcher instead of the pitcher?

[Big Klu]

Red fall to 9-9 on Bow Tie Tuesday.
