I believe it'll be Tim Adleman (today), Josh Smith (Tuesday) and Robert Stephenson (Wednesday) against the best team in the majors.

This could get uglier than the face I see in the mirror every morning.

[GADawg]

Is Irrabarren making a case for a bench spot next season? I know nothing about him pre-'16....has he always hit?

No it won't.

Not especially, hit just .256/.324/.305 last year in about the same number of ABs as this year as he benefitted from a really, really high BABIP in 2016.

He's a good story, but I'm not expecting much moving forward. I don't see him as being especially better than Ivan De Jesus and Kris Negron. He should have to compete in 2017 for a job like everyone else.

[WrongVerb]

No it won't.

Still better looking than you! :p

Yeah, guys like Irrabarren and Selsky are the type you keep in AAA for emergency call-ups.

"When I was working here with the Cubs, and that's as recently as 1995..."


Thom, let me stop you right there my man.

Adleman, Adleman, does everything an Adle can.

[Tadasimha]

Any word on why Votto was walking backwards to the dugout after his last AB? Looked like someone on that side of the field for the Cubs said something he didn't like at all

[Ironman92]

Votto got a foul ball and tossed it to a hot girl in the stands. I fear he's lost his focus.

[Ironman92]

Probably just rewinding his AB so he could fix it.

[Ironman92]

And now Thom talking about the 90 year old women

[Ironman92]

Tribarren

This umpire. I really like his ball/strike calls.

In 20 AB Iribaren has as many triples this year as Billy

We need a legitimate Thom Brennaman drinking game.

Exactly he had to mention them always will.

He also mentioned retired hockey player Chris Druery as a mistake for Brandon. Quite surprised Thom knew a hockey players name... but then remembered the Little League WS story snd well... So Thom to know that.

The only way to shut Thom up is by Brandon Phillips making a terrible base running play.

"First ball hitting"(with disdain in his voice only on an out but ignoring on a hit)

[westofyou]

That one was even hit harder

[Ironman92]

Bad exit velocity inning for Adelman. He pitching Titleists

[BCubb2003]

Adleman has found his Kryptonite.

[GADawg]

At least "we" didn't blow it in the 9th

[Ironman92]

Yeah, I'll admit it. I'm rooting for the Reds to go 1-2-3 and then Cubs not score more than 2 so we can watch Chapman face Votto

[50YrRedsFan]

Price leaves the starter in too long (again). But with Wood warming, who wouldn't?

The 2016 Cincinnati Reds pitching staff has now allowed the most HR's in a season in MLB history.

[GADawg]

Peraza has an ugly helmet

[50YrRedsFan]

As soon as Wood came in, I knew another loss was at hand.

[Ironman92]

Prayers going out to Scott Schebler

[WVRedsFan]

Blake Wood should not see the mound for the Reds in 2017. JMO

[BluegrassRedleg]

Blake Wood = Craptacular

[50YrRedsFan]

I hope Wood is not on this team next year. And Ohlendorf, Cingrani, Jumbo, more.

[BCubb2003]

No Chapman now?

[50YrRedsFan]

No Chapman now?

Still a save situation.

[WVRedsFan]

No Chapman now?Here he comes.

[kaldaniels]

There's the record!

[BCubb2003]

Still a save situation.

Hardly seems necessary.

[westofyou]

Reds pitchers are so bad they gave up a HR to Heyward

Reds with 12 more games after tonight could pad the HR's allowed record by quite a few.

[BCubb2003]

Chris is having none of Thom's stuff.

[50YrRedsFan]

Phillips swing is so late, it's tomorrow.

[Ironman92]

Holy ****, that scared me

[Ironman92]

How, HOW (Thom voice) did he catch that? Lol

[WVRedsFan]

Renda vs. Chapman? Good grief

Renda looks like he's 14.

Reds lose 5-2

[50YrRedsFan]

Reds with their 87th loss.

[Big Klu]

On pace for 68-94.

[Tom Servo]

Missed most of this one. Nice effort by Peraza and Votto and the HR from BP. Good outing from Adleman who, realistically, shouldn't be pitching in the 7th inning of any game. But he should make either good AAA depth next year or possibly bring back a little something from a team desperate for pitching.

[WVRedsFan]

So glad Adleman didn't get the loss. He pitched well until left in too long. Blake Wood has proven that he has no place in this bullpen. Last week.4 IP, 6H, 5 R, 5 ER, big ERA, 0-2.

Wth 12 games left against the Brewers, Cubs, and Cardinals, I look for a 4-8 record and a final record of 67-95. Bryan Price's 3 year record is now 203-271. That would give him a final record of 207-279 or an average of 69-93. Unacceptable.
