I don't even think he believed it would. He's said more than once, when it's over he's just taking off. He knows that point is coming soon.

Slow mo'd Schebler's HR. That looked fair to me, could see it disappear behind the yellow foul line on frame by frame slow mo. Also where it landed was just in line or top to the fair side of the foul pole.

Two pitchers who never got the respect they deserved around here.

Peroutza

Ok, I change my mind, Tom was right - PutPeteOut

[50YrRedsFan]

The pitcher no one wanted keeping the Reds in the game.

Billy needs to start working the count like he was earlier this season - pressing again

Who are Elmer Dessens and Pete Schourek?

That went quickly

[Mutaman]

Not everyone. My position was "If Arroyo thinks he can help this team, that's good enough for me". You can look it up.

Y'all realize Arroyo is throwing 82 mph fastballs and has a 6.00 ERA, right?

Arroyo nearing 80 pitches. Maybe tiring.

Dang, was going to make a Fowl-er ball joke but then he gets a hit

[_Sir_Charles_]

Lorenzen warming

[Mutaman]

Who are Elmer Dessens and Pete Schourek?

Don't think there was a RedZoan when Schourek was pitching. Hell, the Red's 1995 post season wasn't even on tv on the east coast. Had to listen to Davey leave Schouek in for the 9th inning on the radio.

[Tom Servo]

I've been pretty ambivalent overall about Arroyo but people are really calling it a success? The start against the Cubs was good, that's been about it so far. He's walking a tightrope in this one.

Well there ya go...

What's Bronson's ERA now?

[NebraskaRed]

Shocking

[Tom Servo]

ouch. Bronson doesn't have anything to get Carpenter out.

[PutPeteIn]

Price is such the da.

[50YrRedsFan]

Schebler should get an error for his bobble there.

[ochoa30]

Everyone and their mother saw that coming. Arroyo had nothing left. Gotta feel like he's gonna pull the plug soon. Could just see it in his face.

Bronson is toast. Hopefully everyone is right and he will decide to retire.

Nice work getting out of it, but Lorenzen hasn't looked all too good since throwing those three innings against Pittsburgh.

I guess I could complain about using lorenzen here but if Bryan saved him for a hold/save situation, he'd never pitch.

If what they said about his arm is true you gotta feel like he's gonna call it quits soon. I guess all depends on if there is improvement but it doesn't sound likely.

The only kid who is being given a chance to start is Rookie Davis.

Peraza almost pays the price for swinging at a pitch off the plate.

he can't hit anything with authority right now -- in this case it saved him a DP

Put Bronson in the pen for a long man. If the Reds take Arroyo out of the rotation, who do they use?

[Tom Servo]

Peraza is bad right now. Doesn't seem like he is getting any better as the year goes on.
He's been bad, but I'm really not sure why he's the top whipping boy here. Billy is worse and gets to keep his position at the top of the order. I'm more confident in Peraza raising his batting average dramatically then I am Hamilton.

[ochoa30]

I guess that's a silver lining, lol

[Kc61]

A good starting point would be to give Reed and Stephenson some innings.

It's not like many of these games are close.

The idea was to put them in the bullpen, not in the isolation room.

Billy's defense probably saves him from getting more hate but he has no business batting 1st in a lineup ever. Price shows his stupidity day in and day out with that move.

No disagreement there, I know it's been rough lately with all the chair shuffling but Price's bullpen usage has been strange to say the least.

[50YrRedsFan]

When do you put Billy on the bench? Who plays center?

[Raisor]

Don't think it takes Nostradamus to know what would happen if you throw Reed and Stephenson into the fire right now.

So they are going to develop into starters by voodoo magic?

Peraza seems to understand the kind of hitter he needs to be. He certainly did well with it last year. He hits GBs and LDs, although I wish with more authority than so far this year.

Hamilton has unfortunately never shown this. He still seems to swing away, doesn't bunt, hasn't become a GB-LD hitter.

[PutPeteIn]

In fairness to Cincy today Leake has an era of 1.35.

[Wolves198921]

Reds can't get the big hit. This will be the third year in a row where they spend the season in last place. Yet Price remains the coach and if a player is any good he gets traded.

If May is like April I'd probably pull the plug and see if Phillip Ervin can handle it.

The offense can be frustrating, it's a work in process, but it's been ok.

Far from perfect, too SLG based, but it's a decent group.

This season is all about figuring out the starting pitching. The rest of this is coming along.

Most teams have a weak offensive position or two, it's not a crisis.

[ochoa30]

If May is like April I'd probably pull the plug and see if Phillip Ervin can handle it.

Agree with this. He'll make a good backup but he ain't cutting it now. Give him through May considering no one is really busting down the door anyways

0.75 for Storen. Nice pick up.

I understand that the road trip has been miserable and the Reds are desperate for a win.

But I'd put Cody Reed in this game now for two innings. Take the training wheels off, Bryan, these young guys need to pitch more.

It is a rebuild. Ervin could use the AAA reps and Billy...well, at some point he's gotta get better, right?


Right?

[Kc61]

A Chris Welsh aptly says, that's the kind of swing you need to keep making, Billy.

Billy feels the pressure from RZ and responds!

Guys never used to go all out. They probably pitched at 50 percent so they could throw all day. The game has changed and now guys throw there hardest every pitch starting before high school. Its obvious why pitchers get hurt so much now.

Yeah but everyone knows he's not gonna keep producing the way he has, the hope was that it would continue at least long enough to get some better production at the top of the lineup. So of course the second the Reds make the move he goes cold.

Well. I guess Duvall earned an AB like that.

Tough guy to hit when he throws strikes. Luckily he has only done it to cozart and duvall so far.

I spoke too soon on the Nats. 23 now. Rendon is 6 for 6 with now 3 homers and 10 rbi's

Thats insane.

Yeah..It aint easy to go 5 for 5

Hittable pitch, but Suarez missed it, pops out.

5-4, middle eight, Iglesias in .

'Teams like the Reds are dangerous, they don't know that they're not good yet, it's that early they still think they can compete with you'

Well hopefully the reds can get six outs without giving up a run.

I didn't think announcers were allowed to say stuff like that? Don't they have to be professional? Doesn't matter if the reds pull it out they would be 3-2 against St. Louis all at their place.

Could easily say the same for the cards. Really not a good team regardless of the current hot streak.

He can kiss my ass too.

Iglesias walks first batter again. Becoming a trend

Have you ever listened to Marty?

Ironically I'd say the Cards don't know they're not good yet and they probably think they can complete with the Cubs.

I was worried that Mesoraco's face grab would echo the results of Phillip's shin guard tap from 2010 and start REDS/CARDS BRAWL 2.0. But no reaction.

[ochoa30]

Devin touched Molinas face a little after the throw. Should of said "Thanks sweetey"

[Raisor]

Doug Flynn should be selling insurance, not whatever he's doing during this broadcast

Maybe he's working up to his pitch?

Devin is a bionic man already, he's got nothin to lose.
