Nebraska how do I delete my post that was started 1 min after yours?

[Wolves198921]

If our grown men can't get hits and runs against that kid Milwaukee is pitching then I'm going to get a bat and try to get a hit against him.

[Tom Servo]

Finnegan turned 24 yesterday, Cody Reed turns 24 today.

[OnBaseMachine]

Walking Villar worked out so well for the Reds last night, they decided to do the same today.

[Tom Servo]

Walking Villar worked out so well for the Reds last night, they decided to do the same today.
And only 90 mph on those pitches not near the zone. Not an encouraging start to the game.

[OnBaseMachine]

Finnegan is all over the place again. Could be another short start for him.

[MBZags]

Wild Finnegan making an appearance.

Interesting LF choice...

[ochoa30]

Don't understand how you can just forget how to throw strikes. I know he is always wild but this is crazy.

[The Operator]

Wow he looks awful right now.


Back to back walks to start the game.

[tomnuetten]

can someone show finnegan the strike zone please...

perhaps someone should make a sign...

[The Operator]

He wasn't anywhere close on those two at bats.

[Big Klu]

Hey, I actually have the FSO feed today! (Too bad I have to finish my taxes...)

[Tom Servo]

I'm concerned there's an injury

[The Operator]

Ball 9

[ochoa30]

Not even close on any of those pitches

[OnBaseMachine]

Not even close.

[The Operator]

I'm concerned there's an injury

I was just thinking the same thing. He's never been a contol artist but this is ridiculous.

[tomnuetten]

thanks for swinging...

[Wolves198921]

Can we get some MLB pitchers please? College pitchers can pitch more strikes than this.

[Donder]

Nice throw by Schebler!

[The Operator]

11 pitches, 2 strikes so far.

[Tom Servo]

I was just thinking the same thing. He's never been a contol artist but this is ridiculous.
The control and he's the fact that he's yet to throw anything over 90 mph. Might have dead arm.

[MBZags]

Yeah, the 89 mph fastballs down from 97 aren't too promising.

[757690]

I could deal with dead arm, in fact that wouldn't surprise me considering for years The Reds have failed to get their pitchers adequately stretched out in spring training.

But I really hope it's nothing structural.

[OnBaseMachine]

Pick off.

[BCubb2003]

Nice throw by Schebler!

Schebler's warmed up. Bring him in.

Pretty sure he's dialing it down to try and throw strikes.

[tomnuetten]

looked save to me

[Tom Servo]

looked save to me
He's out!

[NebraskaRed]

not sure why they didn't challenge that

[MBZags]

Pretty sure he's dialing it down to try and throw strikes.

From the opening pitch? That's where he's sitting.

[Raisor]

looked save to me

No challenge by the Brewers

[OnBaseMachine]

Three walks. The Brewers are trying their best to get Finnegan out of this inning but he's refusing.

[tomnuetten]

He's out!

I know that ;) I still think that he was save

[The Operator]

Walk #3

[Tom Servo]

c'mon man you can't walk the bases loaded in the first inning

[ochoa30]

From the opening pitch? That's where he's sitting.

Yep, I'm sure he wasn't pumping strikes during warm ups and after his last start he's trying to figure it out. I could be wrong, we'll see.

[OnBaseMachine]

2-0 Brewers.

[The Operator]

3 walks and a double. This is going to be ugly.

[Tom Servo]

It really looks like Finnegan has nothing today. 88-90 fastball only sometimes over the plate and breaking stuff that's nowhere near the zone.

[NebraskaRed]

[tomnuetten]

I thought at first that this is a catchable ball in the outfield..

billy must have been near the infield?!

[ochoa30]

No excuse for Finnegan but Hamilton is way too shallow. There's no way a ball like that should fall.

[The Operator]

Wild pitch advances runner to 3rd

[OnBaseMachine]

It was fun while it lasted.

[Tom Servo]

I don't wanna play the Brewers anymore.

[The Operator]

The velocity just is not there.

His stuff is completely pedestrian today.

[Tom Servo]

Brutal.

[Wolves198921]

Well it looks like another loss is on its way

[tomnuetten]

atleast he got out of the first inning :dunno:

[ochoa30]

Send him out there next inning but if he walks anyone at all you yank him. This is inexcusable for a big leaguer. Maybe there's an injury but who knows. Right now he's just lost.

[tomnuetten]

Well it looks like another loss is on its way

no Joey Votto will start to get hot today :)

[NebraskaRed]

Amir Garrett is just gonna have to start every game, that's all there is to it

[50YrRedsFan]

Growing pains

[Raisor]

Y'all going to give yourselves ulcers.

[The Operator]

Servo I think you may be onto something with dead arm.

I went through dead arm one spring in high school. I was a fairly hard thrower and one day I just up and lost all kinds of velocity on my fastball. That led to me trying to overcompensate and get it back by trying harder and made my control awful.

Eventually it came back but it absolutely sucked while it lasted.

[Raisor]

Send him out there next inning but if he walks anyone at all you yank him. This is inexcusable for a big leaguer. Maybe there's an injury but who knows. Right now he's just lost.


So if its inexcusable should they release him?

[757690]

Stephenson is warming up in the pen. It looks like Servo may be right about Finnegan's health.

[Raisor]

Robert Stephenson is warming up

[tomnuetten]

So if its inexcusable should they release him?

no they should keep him as groundkeeper or perhaps they need someone at the office?

[NebraskaRed]

looking at the Cards-Yankees game, Carlos Martinez has walked 3 in the first inning

[Raisor]

Marty thinks that Price is sending a message to Finnegan by having Stephenson warming up.
Brantley thinks there is something physically wrong with him.

[OnBaseMachine]

Hamilton pops out on ball 3. Reds hitters continue to refuse walks.

[Ron Madden]

I hope Finnegan isn't injured.

[ochoa30]

So if its inexcusable should they release him?

Obviously not but he needs to get the control back in the minors. I get that the Reds are rebuilding but you gotta have a little bit of standards. The Reds haven't done anything wrong, it's all on him. Maybe he can get it back quick here but I don't remember him ever struggling like this.

[OnBaseMachine]

Amazing what happens when you throw strikes.

[Tom Servo]

Marty thinks that Price is sending a message to Finnegan by having Stephenson warming up.
Brantley thinks there is something physically wrong with him.
That's why they pay Marty the big bucks.

[NebraskaRed]

Stephenson in

[The Operator]

Finnegan's day is done.

[Raisor]

Stephenson in

Hope it's a dead arm. It is about the time for it.

[ochoa30]

Definitely could be hurt, really unfortunate if that's the case. Guy looked incredible in that first start. Maybe he was overdoing it.

[Red Raindog]

Y'all going to give yourselves ulcers.

been there done that

[Big Klu]

Marty thinks that Price is sending a message to Finnegan by having Stephenson warming up.
Brantley thinks there is something physically wrong with him.

Which one is more likely to know something about pitching in the major leagues?

[NebraskaRed]

Hopefully he's not hurt. If he's healthy, I like this "message" being sent to him

[Raisor]

Sheldon says no trainers around Finnegan.

[ochoa30]

This should be interesting. Let's hope Robert can go long and keep us in the game.

[Tom Servo]

Even if there isn't an injury, it's clear Finnegan's stuff was diminished today. He wasn't gonna be getting guys out with it.

[OnBaseMachine]

I like the move. If he has another start like this, send him to Louisville. Send a message: either throw strikes or head to the minor leagues.

[The Operator]

Hey hey! Nice start for BobSteve.

K

[Raisor]

Finnegan just needs to rub some dirt on it

[tomnuetten]

Hopefully he's not hurt. If he's healthy, I like this "message" being sent to him

the message is what? you were bad out there? I think he knew that himself

[ochoa30]

I like the move. If he has another start like this, send him to Louisville. Send a message: either throw strikes or head to the minor leagues.

Agree 100%

[Kc61]

Rebuilding.

[BCubb2003]

If the relievers can pitch multiple innings, a starter should be able to.

[ochoa30]

Stephenson getting all the calls so far, haha. Let's hope that keeps up. Also looks like he's dialed it down a bit probably in an attempt to pitch some innings for us.

[OnBaseMachine]

Stephenson K's Arcia on a beautiful 2-2 fastball but the umpire calls it a ball. Next pitch he walks.

[The Operator]

I thought Stephenson had a punchiut on that 2-2 pitch.

Then he walks him on 3-2.

[NebraskaRed]

the message is what? you were bad out there? I think he knew that himself

if you leave him in, what's that message? that being nowhere near the strike zone pitch after pitch is acceptable?

[Kc61]

I thought Stephenson had a punchiut on that 2-2 pitch.

Then he walks him on 3-2.

Seemed like a real squeeze on the 2-2 pitch.

[The Operator]

Stephenson K's Arcia on a beautiful 2-2 fastball but the umpire calls it a ball. Next pitch he walks.

Glad I'm not the only one who thought they had him rung up.

[ochoa30]

Stephenson K's Arcia on a beautiful 2-2 fastball but the umpire calls it a ball. Next pitch he walks.

Make up call for that first K probably.

[OnBaseMachine]

Missed call or not, the encouraging thing is Stephenson commanded his fastball to the inside half of the plate.

Blows a fastball past Villar. Two K's in the inning.

[The Operator]

Nice! 2 K's and a walk, with the walk being suspect.

Hopefully Stephenson can keep them in the game.

[Tom Servo]

Nicely done RobSteve.

[Kc61]

Stephenson has top end stuff.

[ochoa30]

Missed call or not, the encouraging thing is Stephenson commanded his fastball to the inside half of the plate.

Blows a fastball past Villar. Two K's in the inning.

Not saying it's right but you get some calls and some you don't. Looked real good in the inning though overall.

[tomnuetten]

if you leave him in, what's that message? that being nowhere near the strike zone pitch after pitch is acceptable?

I´m not saying that he should stay in there.. I´m fine with the decision. He looked bad out there and there was no sign that he´ll get better going forward.

But all of this message sending is nonsense for me. He does know that if he pitches that way he´ll be in the minors soon. It´s not like he´s not trying to throw strikes.

To put him under (even) more pressure won´t help either

[BCubb2003]

It's going to be a real mental challenge: "Gotta throw strikes ... gotta throw strikes .., Why am I not throwing strikes!"

[ochoa30]

I´m not saying that he should stay in there.. I´m fine with the decision. He looked bad out there and there was no sign that he´ll get better going forward.

You make a good point. No one is more upset then Brandon but sometimes messages aren't just for that one player. Clearly the reds have gone with pitchers this year who throw strikes consistently. That's why we got Rookie Davis and Amir Garrett over Cody reed and rob Steve. This is a team wide message.

[Ron Madden]

They're a bunch of young kids, they're still learning.

HOMERUN!!!!

[The Operator]

Schebler!!!

2-1

Obviously I don't know Finnegan, but some people do need pressure like that in order to do what they're capable of doing. Maybe they know that about him

[OnBaseMachine]

Hell of an at-bat results in a Schebler HR!

[Tom Servo]

Schebler :jump:

[ochoa30]

What an at bat!!! Nice job Scott!

[BCubb2003]

Scheblin' Time!

[Kc61]

Sensational at bat. Using the short RF porch, 12 pitch at bat.

[tomnuetten]

That's why we got Rookie Davis and Amir Garrett over Cody reed and rob Steve. This is a team wide message.

yeah but those are pitchers that are MLB caliber or very close to MLB level => I do believe that they know already that walking the opponent isn´t a good thing.

they are trying to throw strikes, they just have problems (yet) to execute ....

we´re still in this game obviously :)

[The Operator]

I still think Schebler is going to produce this year. Slow starts happen, just ask #19.

- - - Updated - - -

Suaaarez with a beautiful double.

[NebraskaRed]

Carlos Martinez, 6 walks in 2 innings. He's still in the game.

[ochoa30]

Ball is really flying today. We should score some runs.

[NC Reds]

It was important to call up Winker to watch Scooter start in LF.

[Tony Cloninger]

Carlos Martinez, 6 walks in 2 innings. He's still in the game.


Is Leon getting laaargeer yet?

Almost 60 pitches and 4 strikeouts. He's like 1977 Nolan Ryan out there.

[The Operator]

Cozart!!!

Game tying RBI triple!!

[ochoa30]

Carlos Martinez, 6 walks in 2 innings. He's still in the game.

That's really bad but that guys track record is a bit better and longer then finnegans is. But yeah, sometimes guys struggle to throw strikes, especially hard throwers.

[tomnuetten]

this cozart kid is not that bad

[Ron Madden]

Triple!!! Tie ballgame!!!!

[NebraskaRed]

Man, Cozart is off to an incredible start this year

[OnBaseMachine]

Cozart RBI triple!

[The Operator]

Zack Cozart the triples machine.

[Kc61]

Who is the guy dressed up as Cozart?

Also looks like Jackie Robinson a little, wearing 42.

[NebraskaRed]

Davies going for the cycle this inning. He's given up a home run, double, and triple

[Red Raindog]

wish I'd taken the over on 3 base hits for the year on Cozart

[Tony Cloninger]

It was important to call up Winker to watch Scooter start in LF.

Scooter has done more than enough to earn more starts. Unfortunate but Winker is only here until Romano starts tomorrow. I was hoping he would be up here longer
and have either Reed or Stephenson make the start. It looks like the Reds need 9 relievers with these starters going.

[ochoa30]

If Reds are gonna trade this guy, they better get a great return. He's really figured it out. Looks incredible at the plate.

[tomnuetten]

That's really bad but that guys track record is a bit better and longer then finnegans is. But yeah, sometimes guys struggle to throw strikes, especially hard throwers.

finnegan didn´t have velocity and control => he had nothing today and the brewers gave him some gifts to get even out of the inning

don´t know what Martinez looked like but perhaps he had atleast velocity :D

[OnBaseMachine]

Reds take the lead, but wow Barnhart is slow...

[The Operator]

3-2 Reds on a freak play!

[Ron Madden]

3-2 Reds!

[The Operator]

Alrighty BobSteve, wanna be a starter?

Here's your audition. You've even got a lead to work with

[BCubb2003]

Chris Welsh with the jai alai references.

[Wolves198921]

Thank goodness for the three spot. Will probably need three more runs to win this game a I don't think Milwaukee is done yet either.

[OnBaseMachine]

Stephenson squeezed again. Davies is getting that inside strike.

[The Operator]

Interesting idea from Chris Welsh.

Is Fienngan being bullheaded with the coaching staff? It was odd that there was no trip to the mound from Mack Jenkins during that debacle.

- - - Updated - - -

Welp. Tie ball game.

[Tom Servo]

I'm still a bit of a Thames skeptic, but the Reds are sure making him look good.

[Tony Cloninger]

He actually has a no hitter going.

And now it's gone.

[The Operator]

Wow that was a pretty curveball for strike 1 against Perez.

[ochoa30]

I'm still a bit of a Thames skeptic, but the Reds are sure making him look good.

Passes the eye test offensively for sure. Good plate approach. Will be interesting to see what happens as the league gets a scouting report on him. My guess is fastball up and in and slow low and away like pretty much all lefties. Just don't miss over the plate.

[OnBaseMachine]

Great pitch and the dude basically throws his bat at the ball for a single.

[ochoa30]

Bad luck there

[tomnuetten]

that K pitch was nasty

[OnBaseMachine]

Nasty curveball. Stephenson is flashing three plus pitches.

[The Operator]

Wow. When he locates his curveball it's lethal.

[NebraskaRed]

That curve is looking so good

I know, family board

[Tom Servo]

That curve is looking so good

[ochoa30]

Disgusting curveball for strike 3 to Broxton

[Tom Servo]

another nice frame for RobSteve

[tomnuetten]

the way he used his hands right there.. Adjusting the hat, afterwards use the same hand to touch the ball, rubbing the ball...

it did look a little bit like someone using pine tar....

[NebraskaRed]

Real pitchers have curves.

I was about to make a Trouble with the Curve joke, but I've tried to watch that movie twice and didn't make it more than 15 minutes in.

Yep, unlucky inning. Gotta hit em where they ain't.

[The Operator]

That was another yakker for strike 1.

Nasty changeup to K Villar. 1-2-3 inning for Stephenson. 5 K's.

[The Operator]

Another nice frame from Stephenson.

[Ron Madden]

Nice quick inning for Stephenson

A third good frame for RobSteve.

[Red Raindog]

Schebler walks for a team high 5th time this season.

[Tom Servo]

Schebler asking "Jesse who?"

[NebraskaRed]

Iglesias warming up.

[PutPeteIn]

Did Price pull Finny out of principal?
Also anyone having trouble with ESPN game cast no refreshing?

Oh and I found out today that Zach Cozart is my biological daddy.

[Raisor]

I think Price pulled him because he didn't have it today. I don't think there is any principle behind it

[PutPeteIn]

Is he any relation to Zack Cozart?
Yes, third cousins twice removed.

[NebraskaRed]

wherefore art thou, Tony Cingrani

[Kc61]

If Iglesias comes in now, I'd guess Price wants to use him for 2-3 innings.

[tomnuetten]

everything is working for cozart right now

[OnBaseMachine]

Barnhart strands two.

[Raisor]

Barnhart strands two.

This is unacceptable and he should be sent to AAA (am I doing this right, or does it only work for pitchers?)

[NebraskaRed]

Iglesias in. Price is itching for another FanGraphs article

[tomnuetten]

This is unacceptable and he should be sent to AAA (am I doing this right, or does it only work for pitchers?)

price has to send a message first...

[ochoa30]

This is unacceptable and he should be sent to AAA (am I doing this right, or does it only work for pitchers?)

Yeah because striking out once is equivalent to not being able to find home plate at all for two straight starts.

[The Operator]

Iglesias, there's an interesting move.

[Tom Servo]

Even being a bigPeraza fan it might do him and the team some good to flip flop Peraza and Cozart in the batting order

[ochoa30]

Sure would be nice to have Lorenzen available for multiple innings today.

[Raisor]

Even being a bigPeraza fan it might do him and the team some good to flip flop Peraza and Cozart in the batting order

Schebler to lead off

[ochoa30]

Well scooter Gennett is better then Matt Adams out there so we got that going for us.

[Raisor]

Yeah because striking out once is equivalent to not being able to find home plate at all for two straight starts.

He threw 180 major league innings last season. Seems a bit reactionary to dump him to AAA after 11 innings this season.

[tomnuetten]

you´re right, but his drop in velocity is significant.

We expecting a 14 inning game?

He's got Iglesias for 2-3. He's got Cingrani, Storen rested.

Should be plenty.

[ochoa30]

Honestly no, it's not. He has lost home plate. He goes down for a few starts and finds it and he's back up in 2 weeks possibly. At least if he doesn't find it we don't have to put up with 1 innings starts every 5 days. At minimum he should be put in the pen so he can work his way back. Guy might come back and be perfect next start but something clearly not right with him currently.

[OnBaseMachine]

Peraza fails to get the run in. Reason #3667 why you don't bunt.

I understand the thinking behind it, but I've never been a fan of the "everybody wears #42" gimmick because it's hard to tell who is who, especially for clubs with whom you are unfamiliar.

[OnBaseMachine]

Lead off double by the pitcher = no runs. Bunting is stupid. Hamilton/Peraza out machines.

[Kc61]

Only problem is Cingrani and Storen aren't Michael Lorenzen caliber pitchers.

Except for the caliber Lorenzen was yesterday. They are at least that caliber. Probably better.

[Wolves198921]

Bunting is incredibly stupid almost always unless it's to beat a shift. Reds could have had a huge innings but you're in the 5th playing for 1 run. Do we really think 1 run is going to win this game. Smh.

[Raisor]

Seems like about 15

So, yesterday, when the adrenaline isn't flowing down 3, tells us more about Lorenzen than last year? Or his previous three outings this year?

On older tracks that were measured in yards instead of meters, the 220 was roughly equivalent to the 200m, and the 440 was the analog to the 400m.

Ugh strained left lat for Finnegan.

Not good at all.

[Kc61]

Finnegan with lat injury.

[Raisor]

Finnegan has a strained left lat muscle

[The Operator]

Ugh. Home run

4-3

Strained lat for Finnegan. Not good.

Huge bummer

[JaxRed]

I assume DL time.

Damn Him! Send him to Louiville!

Sonny Gray had the same diagnosis on his pitching shoulder, he was diagnosed with it on March 7 and still hasn't made a rehab start. He has been throwing though.

That may have been the worst LF HR at GABP I've ever seen.

Hard to say that went out, I guess it touched a fan?

A bad lat pretty much ruined Johnny Cueto's 2013 season.

This sucks.

I'd say Sal Romano may be up for good now, or at least for longer than we may have originally anticipated.

Gotcha. He should have suggested someone play 8 tracks while they stage those races. [emoji23]

I can't believe that was a home run. Also can't believe it was overturned. It looked like a fairly routine flyball off the bat.

What's Tim Adleman up to?

I thought it was the recurring oblique injury that ruined that year? At least that's what I remembered it as.

[Wolves198921]

Well this hasn't been much fun, down again.

[JaxRed]

What's Tim Adleman up to?

Pitching tonight. Right in line with Finnegan's spot.

No, it touched the concrete wall behind the padding

Right? What a bummer this series has been so far. Nothing going right.

Yes I think Cueto had that injury reoccur 2 or 3 times that year. The first time it occurred he was out over a month

[Raisor]

Reed to rotation?

[OnBaseMachine]

Lead off triple by Suarez!
