Kivlehan gives Schebler a break, and the Reds go extremely RH against Ty Blach, a southpaw with a slight split issue. Blach doesn't K anyone, and he walks around 10% of the RH hitters he faces. In the minors, he gave up about a hit per inning and sported a .262 BAA. He barely breaks 90 on his fastball but changes speeds well. Lots of slop (40% or so).

He's a bottom of the rotation guy, so he'll probably dominate the Red lineup.

[Raisor]

First person the complains that Schebler isn't in the lineup better be someone that didn't want him gone during his 10 day slump. Because I will research it and make fun of you.

I'll do you one better, I'm still not sold on him. His 10 game slump is a SSS, but so is his current hot streak.

435 career MLB PA's

258/326/466 792 OPS

109 OPS+

2017 line of 245/319/539 858

121 OPS+

That's not really playing much above his career numbers.

Still not much data...I think I and others jumped the gun on him a couple weeks ago, but I think we should all wait until probably the end of the season to declare anything definitive on him. I think this hot streak has given him the rest of the year to prove he belongs in 2018.

The guy does nothing but hit.

He hit in the minors and he is hitting in the majors.

There's plenty of data that he's probably going to keep hitting.

Just as soon as he's recalled from Louisville.

Couldn't agree more. No way he loses his starting spot anytime soon. Not with options in house, at least. The sample size of his minor league stats show that this hot streak is more of his overall package. Schebler has proven that he is a 7 run per game player where winker has only shown that once.

Schebler was much older at every level.

[Schrammwich]

Schebler was much older at every level.

I didn't mean for it to be a knock on Winker, his on base skills are exactly what this team needs. But as this team is built right now that needs to come from the center fielder in the batting order.

The Reds have been hitting better against the better pitchers, and worse against the weaker pitchers. I don't get it, I actually prefer opponents pitch their better pitchers against us.

[WrongVerb]

Ruggiano was brought up because the Giants had seen enough of Stubbs and released him today.

That's a Sunday Special lineup right there.

You need to look of Professor Kelby Tomlinson's picture on baseball-reference. His lifetime minor league numbers are less than inspiring, but I'm sure his lectures are awesome.

Gorkys Hernandez is swinging a lighter stick than Billy Hamilton.

The G-Men have two guys in their entire lineup with an OPS+ over 80.

I don't think "easy" describes it...it was one pitchers catch behind their back during batting practice

Billy makes a great play to grab an out on what looked like a bars clearing double at first.

Posey scores, 2-1 Reds

[Ron Madden]

Billy can sure go get'em

[Ironman92]

Billy is the best.

Thought that was clearing the bases for sure

There is a reason he was put on waivers.

Yep going to need a bunch of runs again tonight.

[The Operator]

That wasn't an easy play but I've seen about enough of Kivlehan in right field.

[Jordan]

It's almost as if Kivlehan shouldn't be playing RF (or playing at all, period).

[Tom Servo]

Kivlehan isn't an outfielder. Gennett isn't an outfielder. Peraza isn't an outfielder. Schebler isn't a centefielder

Thanks.

[VR]

Scored as a double, was it catchable?

[DocRed]

Hard to blame Kivlehan as he is doing his best...I prefer to blame Price as usual

[Jordan]

Scored as a double, was it catchable?

It hit in his glove. So yes. But it was a tough play, so a double there is understandable.

But dropping a routine fly in RF like a beer league softball player? Wow, don't see that very often. Quite the half-inning for Kivlehan.

[Ironman92]

He nearly missed that one too. SMH

Giants just helped us out big time getting into a rundown there.

I was thinking the same thing when that conversation was going on.

[Stray]

Well played half inning there.

[The Operator]

Scored as a double, was it catchable?
Schebler probably catches it 4/5 of the time.


It's a lot to ask someone playing out of position though. Balls against the wall aren't easy.


Reason #62738 why this whole "no spare outfielders" bench is stupid.

[Ironman92]

Scored as a double, was it catchable?

Oh, it was well hit and he ranged well to the gap and ball hit his glove and then everything hit the wall. Would've been a nice catch but he got his glove on it and just missed the easiest ball I've ever seen missed in MLB right before that

[Bourgeois Zee]

Scored as a double, was it catchable?

He should have had it. Plenty of room until he hit the fence. Saw the shadow and alligator armed it.

Tough break(s) for Garrett.

[The Operator]

I was thinking the same thing when that conversation was going on. Thom's just a swell individual.

[Ironman92]

Hard to blame Kivlehan as he is doing his best...I prefer to blame Price as usual

No....every relief pitcher in the minor leagues I expect to catch the ball he missed

Cubs DFAed Matt Szczur, he can hit a little AND play acceptable outfield defense. Could be worth a look.

He looks alright but I don't see how he is an upgrade over Kivlehan who hit better in the minors and plays first and third. They need that kind of versatility at the end of the bench if they are going to carry 3 catchers or 8 pitchers.

He might be worth a Claim and DFA yourself like I get away with in OOTP.

[Ironman92]

Lead off triple....very exciting

Great catch in gap against fence with bases loaded.....greatly exciting

2 out RBI double that no one else in baseball gets a double...exciting

I'm not sure Kivlehan can actually play any of those positions, but you are right there re the minor league numbers, though Kivlehan got to play in some friendlier power environments.

I go back and forth on Kivlehan. Somedays I squint and can see a poor man's Hunter Pence and other days I see AAA stamped on his forehead.

I think based on the amount of time he has actually spent playing in the outfield his performance out there is to be expected, but he appears to be able to be someone who can sort of play 5 positions and possibly handle the bat to the tune of a 725ish OPS, so as a 25th man he has his virtues. He seems athletic so his outfield play should get at least nominally better. Count me as a fan, at least in comparison to some of the sure fire AAAA with no potential and over the hill types the Reds have historically populated their bench with in my lifetime.

[Bourgeois Zee]

Is that good?

Swing for the fences Billy.

Screw that....inside the park HR pls

[kaldaniels]

Screw that....inside the park HR pls

Run till they tag you.

Works for me.

[The Operator]

And it's over

[Ironman92]

Duvall with a Janish to end the inning

[Tracy Jones]

Duvall you suck. Fire him.

[VR]

Ok Amir, strikes.

[Bourgeois Zee]

He's a bottom of the rotation guy, so he'll probably dominate the Red lineup.

Welp.

That's not right.

[Tadasimha]

Duvall you suck. Fire him.

Just didn't want Garret to get too cold on the bench

[The Operator]

Somewhere on GiantsZone there is a discussion brewing about how Bochy shouldn't have let their young lefty take a beating like that.

That and I'm sure there's a thread saying "We love him now but it was still totally awesome how Cueto got hurt in Game 1 back in 2012. I'd cheer again!"

[Tracy Jones]

How many of these have we been on the other end of the last few years?

This is so much fun.

[The Operator]

Posey with a hard hit single to start the 4th

[Tadasimha]

Jeremy Affeldt is doing color commentary for the Giants tv and he is really bad

Arroyo singles after Amir got ahead 0-2

Was that him last night too? He was bad.

[The Operator]

Duvall makes a nice play in foul ground to retire Ruggiano

1 down

[Raisor]

Arroyo singles after Amir got ahead 0-2

Always finding fault

[Redeye fly]

OK - I'm feeling sorry for Blach a bit . there is it

I was too but honestly watching him I'm amazed he's in the majors. The only pitch he seems to have, at least tonight, that is passable is a change up when he gets it down.

[Tom Servo]

Danny Glover is awesome.

[The Operator]

Nunez singles and the bases are loaded with 1 down

[Tracy Jones]

"Robert Redford? Danny Glover? Who the hell are they?" - anyone under 40

[Reds Fanatic]

Big DP to end the inning

[The Operator]

Yes sirree!!

10-2 after 3.5

[Raisor]

Danny Glover is awesome.

I'm getting too old for this ****

[RedTeamGo!]

"Robert Redford? Danny Glover? Who the hell are they?" - anyone under 40

I am 33 and grew up on both of those actors.

I love The Sting and will argue until I am blue in the face Sneakers is one of the most underrated movies ever made.

[Tadasimha]

Nicely done

[Red Raindog]

Yanks up 8 now

[Tadasimha]

Danny Glover is awesome.

That must have been quite uncomfortable for both of them.

[Raisor]

Say what you want, but win or lose this is a fun team

[Banshee]

Suarez is just mashing the ball, HR!

[Ron Madden]

Geno!!!!!!

[Reds Fanatic]

Suarez homers!

[The Operator]

Geno! 11-2!


This game is silly

[Red Raindog]

Suarez knocks off a glove -- in the outfield seats --- LOL

[Tom Servo]

Geno! :jump:

[Tracy Jones]

Say what you want

Raisorzone needs revamped

[RedTeamGo!]

Did you guys know according to fangraphs Suarez is also the best defensive 3B in baseball so far? Dude is turning into Scott Rolen.

Slightly less fun when they lose but yes, I agree.

I'm surprised THom didn't try to bully Bob Redford into appearing on the broadcast.

[DocRed]

Strong response at the plate by Kivlehan to his earlier error. Gotta give kudos where they are due...

[Ironman92]

Suarez winning the exit velocity game today

[Reds Fanatic]

3 hits for Kivlehan

[VR]

Every starter has an rbi and scored a run except Cozy....only the two rbi's for him, and Rocco has only scored a run.

[Tadasimha]

The Say Hey Kiv is 3 for 3

[The Operator]

Guy can hit, he's had a nice year at the plate and has been a very good pinch hitter.


Definitely not an outfielder though.

[Tracy Jones]

I'm surprised THom didn't try to bully Bob Redford into appearing on the broadcast.

"You won't come on the broadcast. Ooooh man. Oooooh mercy. You just can't have that from Redford"

[RedTeamGo!]

Little known fact: Kivlehan reads redszone game threads in the dugout. If you rewind it and turn the volume up you can hear him say prior to his last at bat: "Matt Sczur? Pffffft...Watch this, Tom Servo"

Robert Redford was a high school teammate of Don Drysdale at Van Nuys High School.

Natalie Wood was another classmate.

[RedTeamGo!]

I used to love Christopher Walken. Then I heard the Natalie Wood story. What a shady guy.

Don Drysdale ruined Greg Brady's career.

I dated a girl in college who looked like Natalie Wood. Had the same kind of personality, too.

I think the Reds have this one in the bag!
