[cumberlandreds]

Last weekday day game of the season. Reds are trying to break a 13 game losing streak to the Mets that goes back to 2014.

[ScotlandRed]

I know there's not really a great alternative. But it annoys me Tyler Holt is still getting starts after the rosters have expanded.

[cumberlandreds]

The game is not on FSO. Only SNY is carrying the game.

Last time the #Reds beat the Mets: 9/6/2014. Cueto got the win. Chapman the save. Frazier & Heisey homered for Reds.:(

You can't spell CESPEDES without out PED.

Seriously, you can't. It's right in there.
:D

[cumberlandreds]

This game is off to a bad start. 1st pitch,home run by Reyes.

[CySeymour]

Well that didn't start well.

[cumberlandreds]

Reds win a challenge. Whoopeeee! No further damage in the 1st. 1-0 Mets.

[Tom Servo]

Disco's gotta do something about these HRs to left-handed hitters, he's given up 10 so far as opposed to last year where he gave up 12 in nearly 200 more PAs.

[cumberlandreds]

Peraza doubles to start the Reds 1st. It was Marty approved too.

[cumberlandreds]

Suarez just does not seem like a 2 hitter to me?

- - - Updated - - -

Suarez grounds out to SS. Not Marty approved. Peraza to third.

[cumberlandreds]

Votto K's as Marty groans.

[aernisius]

I'm enjoying the dual game-booth play-by-play, cumberland!

[Tom Servo]

Votto K's as Marty groans.
Votto is 0-10 now against Syndergaard.

Not running early in the count there cost a run. Thor is terrible holding runners.

[cumberlandreds]

Duvall K's looking to end the inning. That was not Cumberland approved. 1-0 Mets.

[BCubb2003]

Votto is 0-10 now against Syndergaard.

When it comes to Syndergaard, we're all Joey Votto.

[cumberlandreds]

Votto is 0-10 now against Syndergaard.

I should give Marty credit he did point that out after the fact.

Thank you Not sure how much I can do but will hang with it as much as I can.

[cumberlandreds]

Johnson K's to get the Mets 2nd off to a good start.

[cumberlandreds]

DeAza grounds out to Peraza who was positioned perfectly. Certainly Marty approved.

[cumberlandreds]

Loney with a ducksnort to extend the Mets 2nd.

[cumberlandreds]

A K to end the inning. 1-0 Mets. We also learned in that inning that Marty belongs to all the shave clubs that are available. I am sure we are all better off for knowing that.

[klw]

Loney with a ducksnort to extend the Mets 2nd.

"ducksnort" would be a cool name for a puppy as long as it was a retriever.

[cumberlandreds]

Phillips is out stealing. Price not challenging and Marty is furious.

[Kc61]

Phillips is out stealing. Price not challenging and Marty is furious.

Mets announcers say safe. Should have challenged.

[kaldaniels]

Mets announcers say safe. Should have challenged.

And Darling didn't like BP strolling off the field. He should have "trotted".

[cumberlandreds]

Schebler tries to steal but forgets to slide and is out. Marty outraged!

[BCubb2003]

And Darling didn't like BP strolling off the field. He should have "trotted".

BP was probably expecting a challenge.

[Elam]

What is going on here? Such a weird half inning

[kaldaniels]

BP was probably expecting a challenge.

I thought so. If anything maybe it bought the dugout a few more seconds to consider a challenge.

[cumberlandreds]

Reds run themselves out of the 2nd inning and its still 1-0 Mets. Why do I get the feeling neither team is very interested this afternoon?

[Tom Servo]

What is going on here? Such a weird half inning

[Kc61]

That is the most bizarre half inning I've seen in a long time.

[BCubb2003]

Team TOOTBLAN.

[Kc61]

Frankly, this whole series has been an embarrassment.

I've complimented Price for keeping the team playing hard most games.

But the last three days has been horrendous. If I bought a ticket I'd ask for a refund.

[WrongVerb]

Votto is 0-10 now against Syndergaard.

Mets score on a wild pitch. Disco didn't cover home plate. Throw in an error by Peraza and this is one ugly game.

[BluegrassRedleg]

Reds Baseball.

Mets finally go out. 2-0 New Yorkers.

It's nice of the Reds to have a throwback game in honor of the '62 Mets.

What happened to the team that was playing so well after All-Star break?

[cumberlandreds]

Reds have 1st and third to start the third. The comeback is on.

[wally post]

The entire Mets broadcasting booth has wasted the Reds for four to five minutes. If this play today and lack of anyone getting sat down immediately is my biggest and best example of why Price has to go. Today.

This is absolutely horrible

Understand, there was no party in the use of these drugs—that part happened off the field, away from the game. No, this was all business. This was the care and feeding of the professional athlete. The “jar” was like our traveling medicine cabinet, a way to chase the aches and pains. You’d walk into the clubhouse and catch one of your teammates sitting in front of his locker looking like he’d just been through a spin cycle. There’d be dark circles under his eyes. The simplest movements would be accompanied by the groans of an old, beaten-down man. It would be the middle of August—game 141 on the schedule, say—the dog days of the dog days, and this poor guy could barely stand and straighten his knees because of all the abrasions running up and down his legs. He’d be bruised from head to toe, from being plunked by a season’s worth of pitches. He’d have a couple of broken bones in his hands, but he was determined to play through his injuries, to see his way to the butt end of the schedule. Maybe he was playing for his next contract, scrambling to keep his job over some upstart rookie.

[cumberlandreds]

For those of you wanting a very high pick there is still hope.

[Kc61]

Syndegaard doesn't hold runners well. The Reds have decided to attack that weakness.

But they have done so very poorly. Not MLB caliber.

[cumberlandreds]

Duvall weakly pops out to end the third. 2-0 Mets

[wally post]

Yes, but not on a team that has learned to sleepwalk through their paycheck.

[cumberlandreds]

DeAz K's to end the Mets 4th. 2-0 Mets

[Tom Servo]

Second walk of the day for Schebler gives him 12 BBs to 24 Ks since his return after the Bruce trade, not too shabby.

[cumberlandreds]

This really is a strange game. Schebler has walked twice.

[texasdave]

"ducksnort" would be a cool name for a puppy as long as it was a retriever.

Sorry to go off-topic, but both my second AND third wives were named Ducksnort. Back to baseball.

[cumberlandreds]

Reds with runners at first and third. Barnhart K's with Disco burning at the plate.

[texasdave]

Four walks in less than four innings for Syndergaard. Noah is not exactly flooding the strike zone. Still.

[cumberlandreds]

Disco K's to end the inning. 2-0 Mets

[Tom Servo]

Joel says it was Hernandez with the harshest words, not Darling, which makes sense. I remember Keith doing that "This is why they are in last place" bit a decade ago, made the Mets losing from 09-14 sweeter.

[kaldaniels]

The barrage of pickup truck ads going out to 10 million New Yorkers on the Mets broadcast always makes me laugh.

Syndergaard K's. That's five of those for Disco.

Reyes flies out to RF. Two quick outs. That's how we like them this time of year.

Too much of an ark on his pitches.

He throws pitches out of the zone two by two.

Schebler with 2 walks [emoji106]

cesPEDes lines out to RF to end the inning. 2-0 Mets

Why are the Mets announcers talking about 2012.

[cumberlandreds]

George Foster's 1977 season was a Marty approved season.

[cumberlandreds]

Duvall K's to end the Reds 5th. 2-0 Mets after five big innings.

[malcontent]

Price managing like he doesn't care to be back next year.

Or he's mulling the 2 or 3-year offers already on the table.

[BluegrassRedleg]

Scoreboard Stumper today was misleading. I thought they were looking for players who hit 25+ HRs for both the Reds and Mets. Was not even considering Bruce.

Jose Havoc with 3 hits on the day.

Jose Havoc with 3 hits on the day.

Yeah, but Reds current lineup is pretty flawed. Good pitching team like the Mets showing the holes.

[BluegrassRedleg]

Just saw Joey's defensive play on MLBN. That was good stuff.

[Ironman92]

Reds scouts:

Hey guise make sure you pitch Jose Reyes down and in, lefties rarely handle that pitch.

[Ironman92]

Lol at the Joey slow mo bat break over his thigh. He's a tad intense.

[Tom Servo]

Yeah but wins and losses are past the point of mattering so whatevs, I'm focused on individual performances.

[ScotlandRed]

Mets crew calling it a farce for reviewing HBP that didn't look like it hit him. Then they call it a farce for making a pitching change. These guys are *******s.

[Big Klu]

Sorry to go off-topic, but both my second AND third wives were named Ducksnort. Back to baseball.

Of course, we know that you only marry women named "Ducksnort" so that you don't accidently call your current wife by another woman's name.

Another poor call that was strike 3 on Nimmo. Gets it this time.

Reds with 18 hits and 0 runs in Games 1 and 3 of this series. Let's please end that now.

I like what I'm seeing from him. Hopefully once the league adjusts to him he'll be good enough to adjust back.

I'll agree on Jose Havoc as his official name.

Quite a ball striker, Mr. Havoc.

[lollipopcurve]

Peraza has 200 hit potential if he plays everyday.

[BluegrassRedleg]

The bullpen is just beyond garbage. There aren't words to describe how bad it's been in 2016.

Point taken. But I think we all care, or else we wouldn't be here discussing a Reds-Mets game at 4 o'clock on Sept. 7.

Maybe they'll eventually get us to a No. 1 draft pick, and all will be forgiven.

[ScotlandRed]

Brandos Phillips honestly looks like he couldn't care less

It's one play but his lack of action after his caught stealing stuck out at me. BP always tries to get away with something from the umps, even if it is obvious he is wrong. Somewhat out of character that he didn't even question the call.

I literally don't care if the Reds win or lose today. I care about individual performances. If Jumbo has a bad game it doesn't matter to me at all.

The last out he made and when he was thrown out at home just didn't give the best impression to me.

[Sea Ray]

Rally caps. 5-3 on Peraza's 4th hit of the day, a 2B.

4 hits? Big deal. Tell me how many walks he had and then maybe I'll get excited...

[Sea Ray]

the good news is that the guys that have been bad aren't going to be around when the team should be good again, so who cares?

I don't want them here next year. Enough of this

[Big Klu]

On pace for 67-95.

14 in a row to the stinking Mets. Get swept in your own ballpark. The New York media predicted a sweep because -------- Cincinnati and the boys did everything they could to oblige.
