[DocRed]

Wonder if the Yankees will rest any starters

[medford]

I'll go out on a limb and guess that they'll rest their DH.

Thanks, I'll be here all week :)

[Mutaman]

As soon as as they taking batting practice and see the dimensions of this ball park, they will wake up very quickly.

:thumbup:

Actually it looks like their DH will play. Looks like Matt Holiday will bat third and play 1B.

I am hoping for a split but expect the Yankees to demoralize rookie Davis. Guy barely seems ready for this level nevertheless against the best franchise in MLB. I hope the Reds win but they are going to need to score a bunch of runs.

I am a UK fan too, best program in college basketball, this must what it feels like for opposing fan bases when their team goes up against Kentucky in basketball. Yankees best in MLB, UK best in college basketball

Yanks are by far the best if championships are what matters. UCLA would make the same argument in basketball.

He's not playing the franchise though. He's playing the tired 24 men in the other dugout (Tanaka left early last night). Go get em Rookie.

[membengal]

Aaron Judge getting a rest - that helps.

Gardner should have been out but Davis missed the bag on the play at 1st

[WildcatFan]

Alright, nice job FSO getting me hyped with the First Place vs First Place stuff. I'm pumped for this one.

[Reds Fanatic]

Hicks lines a single to right. Early trouble. 1st and 2nd.

[Red Raindog]

Wear them out on the bases

[Jordan]

That error should have been Votto's. No clue what he was thinking there.

[BluegrassRedleg]

How many titles has Cal won at UK? One?

Maybe cool the jets with the "best program in college basketball" hyperbole.

[Tom Servo]

You can't give an error to someone not involved in the play.

[BluegrassRedleg]

Angel Hernandez remains a ridiculously bad umpire.

[Reds Fanatic]

Holliday strikes out swinging. 94 MPH fastball.

[Jordan]

Rook blows away Holliday with a 94 MPH fastball for the K.

Huge.

[Buckeye33]

You can't give an error to someone not involved in the play.

This. It was totally on Votto but can't get the error.

[Jordan]

You can't give an error to someone not involved in the play.

I realize this. Wasn't being literal.

[Tom Servo]

This. It was totally on Votto but can't get the error.
Well I wouldn't go THAT far. I thought Votto should have covered, but it was hardly unreasonable to ask Rookie to make that play. He muffed it.

[Reds Fanatic]

Walk to Ellsbury loads the bases

[Jordan]

Rookie walks Ellsbury. Bases loaded.

[OnBaseMachine]

Davis is very unimpressive.

[WrongVerb]

Rookie can't locate his curve ball right now. That does not bode well.

[Reds Fanatic]

Sanchez singles to left. 2-0 Yankees

[WrongVerb]

Also looks like he's tightening up

[BluegrassRedleg]

Frankly, I don't see anything in Rookie Davis' arsenal that suggests he's an MLB pitcher.

[OnBaseMachine]

What a terrible throw by Duvall to allow the runner to advance to 3rd.

- - - Updated - - -

Davis...isn't good.

[Reds Fanatic]

Gregorious singles to right 3-0 Yankees

He really should not be up here. But they don't have too many other choices right now

[WrongVerb]

What a terrible throw by Duvall to allow the runner to advance to 3rd.

- - - Updated - - -

He's terrible.

Was thinking the same thing. That throw has to go to second.

[WildcatFan]

Error, line drive, walk, and two grounders that found holes. Not a great inning, but it's not like he's giving up long balls.

[Wolves198921]

Well this sucks. Was looking forward to playing the Yankees but knew Davis wouldn't be able to handle the challenge. I think tomorrow will be closer.

[Kc61]

Yankees very patient lineup.

[reds44]

Davis has to go

[Reds Fanatic]

Headley grounds into a 6-4-3 DP. 3-0 Yanks mid 1st

[Red Raindog]

Could have been worse

[BluegrassRedleg]

Can we have the NYY front office guys who are in town today arrested for what they did to Walt in the Chapman deal?

[Tom Servo]

Well this sucks. Was looking forward to playing the Yankees but knew Davis wouldn't be able to handle the challenge. I think tomorrow will be closer.
I mean, your theory was that he would be so daunted by the Yankees. He's not, he's just not capable of getting out major league hitters consistently, whether it's Philadelphia or Milwaukee or New York.

[goreds2]

We got'em where we want'em

[Tom Servo]

Davis has to go
Thought it was clear after the Milwaukee start that he isn't ready for prime time, really didn't understand why he got another chance after that.

[OnBaseMachine]

Davis not only has below average stuff but he nibbles. It's painful to watch. I'd rather give Stephenson starts. At least there's upside there.

[reds44]

Thought it was clear after the Milwaukee start that he isn't ready for prime time, really didn't understand why he got another chance after that.

Would rather see Stephenson start, honestly.

[WrongVerb]

Can we have the NYY front office guys who are in town today arrested for what they did to Walt in the Chapman deal?

Well, if we're talking robbery, what did you expect when the Reds parked their car in a bad neighborhood with the windows down and doors unlocked?

[50YrRedsFan]

Could have been worse
Don't feel bad...The O's just got 4 in the first against Gio Gonzalez and Washington. These AL teams can hit.

[Tracy Jones]

And people were complaining about Feldman...

[Reds Fanatic]

Hamilton continues to roll. Leadoff hit to left

[BluegrassRedleg]

Leadoff "triple" for Hamilton... if you smell what the Rock is cookin'.

[BluegrassRedleg]

Well, if we're talking robbery, what did you expect when the Reds parked their car in a bad neighborhood with the windows down and doors unlocked?

A year earlier, that was a beautifully maintained parking facility. ;)

[Reds Fanatic]

Cozart singles to right. Hamilton easily into 3rd

- - - Updated - - -

Votto singles to right. 3-1 Yankees

[Tracy Jones]

There's an art to pitching in the major leagues. You can have overwhelming stuff or Arroyo stuff. If you have a plan, you execute it, and you know what you're doing, you can pitch at the highest level.

[BluegrassRedleg]

Nice response here by the Redlegs. Votto with a rope.

[WrongVerb]

A year earlier, that was a beautifully maintained parking facility. ;)

Six months earlier even!

[Reds Fanatic]

Duvall flies out to center

[Reds Fanatic]

Suarez grounds into a 5-4-3 DP. 3-1 Yankees after 1

[Tracy Jones]

Yuck

[Reds Fanatic]

Torreyes singles to center.

[Reds Fanatic]

Tanaka sacrifices the runner to 2nd

[WrongVerb]

A surprise attack, Thom? Like Pearl Harbor?

[Tracy Jones]

I would've seriously considered pulling Davis after the 1st. I don't think he's going to give them any chance tonight.

[Mutaman]

Can we have the NYY front office guys who are in town today arrested for what they did to Walt in the Chapman deal?

Then they traded Chappie to the Cubs for Gleyber Torres, and then a few months later signed Chapman as a free agent. So for a few bucks they got Chapman and Torres for Rookie.

[Tom Servo]

A surprise attack, Thom? Like Pearl Harbor?
I was worried he was actually going to say that after the first part.

[Reds Fanatic]

Gardner grounds out to Davis. 2 outs.

[Tony Cloninger]

If the some of the Reds hitters are playing over their heads then what about the Yankees? Castro has hit before but he's still not this good. Their start reminds me of the White Sox start from last year. Great bullpen though and better starting pitching than most AL teams.

[WildcatFan]

I would've seriously considered pulling Davis after the 1st. I don't think he's going to give them any chance tonight.

Lol. Hot take artists out in full force tonight.

[Reds Fanatic]

Hicks singles to center. 4-1 Yankees

[Mutaman]

Don't think we're playing the Giants anymore.

[Tracy Jones]

Lol. Hot take artists out in full force tonight.

It's not a hot take Bayless. It's you know...the reality

[OnBaseMachine]

Davis is so bad. I feel better with Arroyo out there.

[Tom Servo]

Ronald Torreyes and Aaron Hicks, jeez.

[Reds Fanatic]

Holliday grounds out to 2nd

[Mutaman]

If the some of the Reds hitters are playing over their heads then what about the Yankees? Castro has hit before but he's still not this good. Their start reminds me of the White Sox start from last year. Great bullpen though and better starting pitching than most AL teams.

Actually they're starting pitching is their weakness. They've managed this high powered offense with Byrd doing nothing, with Gardiner off to a slow start, and with Sanchez and DiDi hurt.

[Tony Cloninger]

Yea Aaron Hicks is this good. Sure he is.

[Tracy Jones]

Actually they're starting pitching is their weakness. They've managed this high powered offense with Byrd doing nothing, with Gardiner off to a slow start, and with Sanchez and DiDi hurt.

Yep. Unfortunately we're seeing their best tonight...on a night where their bullpen is very thin

[Reds Fanatic]

Schebler strikes out swinging

[OnBaseMachine]

One concern with Schebler is he's chasing a lot more pitches out of the zone this season, especially lately.

[Reds Fanatic]

Peraza flies out to left

[Tony Cloninger]

Actually they're starting pitching is their weakness. They've managed this high powered offense with Byrd doing nothing, with Gardiner off to a slow start, and with Sanchez and DiDi hurt.

Severino and Pineda have been better though. You are right they have done it with no Sanchez then Judge turns into Big Mac. They are still getting over their heads hitting from Hicks & Castro.

[Reds Fanatic]

Barnhart doubles down the left field line

[Mutaman]

Yep. Unfortunately we're seeing their best tonight...on a night where their bullpen is very thin

The only rested pitcher they have is the kid they just brought up. So if we can get to Tanaka, we still have a chance.

[Reds Fanatic]

Davis strikes out swinging. 4-1 Yankees after 2

[Kc61]

Davis has to be viewed as a stop gap, he doesn't seem nearly ready to succeed in the bigs.

But I'd rather have him start than rush or overuse the better prospects.

I doubt Rookie will be in the rotation once the iwalking wounded return to the rotation.

[Tracy Jones]

The only rested pitcher they have is the kid they just brought up. So if we can get to Tanaka, we still have a chance.

Yeah I agree. As long as Davis can keep it reasonably close. Don't think he will though.

[Tom Servo]

Davis has to be viewed as a stop gap, he doesn't seem nearly ready to succeed in the bigs.

But I'd rather have him start than rush or overuse the better prospects.

I agre with this, but don't see the point and having him kicked around. You could probably find an Adleman type who could do better, at least for a little bit.

[Reds Fanatic]

Ellsbury walks

[Red Raindog]

This kid is going keep the Yankees up way past their bedtime

[Tracy Jones]

Get up 0-2, then nibble nibble nibble walk. Bullpen please.

[JaxRed]

I'm up for trying Asher W from AAA

[_Sir_Charles_]

Ronald Torreyes and Aaron Hicks, jeez.

I'd take Torreyes back in a freakin' heartbeat.

[OnBaseMachine]

I'd rather watch him give up a home run than nibble around Ellsbury for the second time in as many PAs.

[WildcatFan]

Strikes please.

[Tom Servo]

Get up 0-2, then nibble nibble nibble walk. Bullpen please.
Reminiscent of Josh Smith, who threw strikes in the minors but had to be sent down in order to remember that important lesson.

[villain612]

Just wanted to chime in to say that listening to Paul O'Neil on the YES network is incredibly better than Thom.

[WrongVerb]

That's a great way to put it. I can see the potential, but he's not yet ready.

[Red Raindog]

This is going bore me into going fishing

[WrongVerb]

Just wanted to chime in to say that listening to ____________ on ____________ network is incredibly better than Thom.

Fixed for accuracy.

[Tom Servo]

Austin Brice warming

[Reds Fanatic]

Another walk by Davis. He is hanglng by a thread

[Red Raindog]

That's a great way to put it. I can see the potential, but he's not yet ready.

I don't see a pitch that hitters don't feel comfortable with

[Tracy Jones]

To compound Davis' awfulness, he works at a Broxton pace.

[Tom Servo]

Just pull him man, it's not gonna get better.

[VR]

Coaching visit. "Unless you want your first name changed to High A, throw strikes."

[Red Raindog]

Tooblan helps

[Reds Fanatic]

Gregorious flies out to center. Then as the lead runner goes to 3rd Sanchez somehow takes off for 2nd is out by a mile

[OnBaseMachine]

That's a great way to put it. I can see the potential, but he's not yet ready.

I honestly don't see any potential.

[Tracy Jones]

Just pull him man, it's not gonna get better.

He could get VERY lucky with a tootblan though

[Tom Servo]

What the hell was Sanchez thinking

[Reds Fanatic]

What the hell was Sanchez thinking

Maybe he saw Duvall throw to the wrong base in the first and tried to get away with something similar but Hamilton's throw was perfect to Cozart

[Tony Cloninger]

I am glad he wasn't thinking.

[villain612]

Davis at 61 pitches.

Feels like 150.

[Tom Servo]

I honestly don't see any potential.
His stuff isn't bad, there's just nothing special and he doesn't really know how to 'pitch'.

He really wasn't ready for this, he was only okay in Double A last year and got kicked around in a few Triple A starts. I don't really blame the Reds for giving it the college try, but like I said that Milwaukee start pretty much showed this wasn't working and they should have made a move then.

[Reds Fanatic]

If Davis ever threw a complete game it would last until 3 AM

If the Reds want to win this game tonight, I don't think they can send Davis back out there

[Reds Fanatic]

Tanaka is settling in now. It doesn't hurt that Angel Hernandez is behind the plate.

Reminds me of dozens of guys.

Josh Smith

Pretty much. Davis at one point was throwing 95-97 fairly consistently, but that was in the Yankees system. Sucks to be us.

[Tom Servo]

Also I sincerely thought 2007 was really going be Matt Belisle's year.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Pretty much. Davis at one point was throwing 95-97 fairly consistently, but that was in the Yankees system. Sucks to be us.

It's not really the velocity that's an issue IMO. It's his lack of hitting his spots combined with a pretty flat fastball. No deception, straight pitch and fantastic velocity still gets decimated in the majors. Very vanilla.

And another knock on Davis is he just struck out my boy Ronald. How DARE he!?! :O)

[Reds Fanatic]

Torreyes strikes out swinging

[Reds Fanatic]

Tanaka strikes out swinging

[_Sir_Charles_]

I refuse to believe it. Somebody's lying to me.

[WildcatFan]

If anybody cares Hank Azaria is in the booth on ESPN absolutely ripping on the Mets.

"They are the New York Yankees of not being the New York Yankees."

On their strengths:

"They have the best collection of shoulder-length hair since Charlie's Angels. That's the end of the list."

Hey, he's a Rookie

[Reds Fanatic]

Wow Davis strikes out the side. He actually threw strikes that inning.

[sdwagers]

Can we trade Thom to the Cubs? Seriously... I mean that way he can go gaga all over Schwaber and Rizzo (who drank lots of milk for big strong bones...)

[Tracy Jones]

Who the hell was that guy who pitched the 4th???

[Tom Servo]

Where was this Rookie the first three innings?

[Red Raindog]

Got them tired out watching him flail
Victory can't be far away

[RedTeamGo!]

Maybe Rookie had a bunch of nerves facing his old organization.

[Tadasimha]

Where was this Rookie the first three innings?

Rookie reliever!

[Reds Fanatic]

Duvall reaches on an error

[Tom Servo]

Maybe Rookie had a bunch of nerves facing his old organization.
I could buy that if he didn't look below average in every other start he's made. That was easily the best inning he's had so far as a Red, in any start.

[Tracy Jones]

Lol Holiday is a terrible fielder no matter where he plays

[Tom Servo]

lol Duvall with the shoulder tackle, I love it

[Reds Fanatic]

Suarez lines a single to left. 1st and 2nd

[Tadasimha]

lol Duvall with the shoulder tackle, I love it

Holiday familiar with that!

Let's get some, boys!

[Reds Fanatic]

Holliday is an adventure at 1st. Bases loaded as the ball goes off Holliday's glove

[_Sir_Charles_]

I'd say infield single on that one. That was scorched.

[Tracy Jones]

Lol Holiday

[Stray]

That took a crazy hop

[OnBaseMachine]

Awful at-bat by Peraza. Wow.

[Reds Fanatic]

Peraza pops out to 2nd. Hate to say it but after his 9 game hit streak the last few games Peraza is not looking good again

[WrongVerb]

Thom and his fetish for bunting. :rolleyes:

[Tracy Jones]

Good AB Peraza

*sigh* bases loaded with no outs...and we leave them stranded. Ugh.

[Tom Servo]

[Tracy Jones]

Good god. Awful. That's all on Peraza.

[Red Raindog]

That's why I have Tanaka on my fantasy team but Tailion was just lost from it with testicular cancer surgery

I can't wait for Mesoraco to become the everyday starting catcher. Barnhart just doesn't cut it.

C'mon. He accounted for one of three outs. Really poor at bat, but he didn't swing Barnhart's bat.

[Tadasimha]

Ah well, they keep getting guys on, the runs will come across the plate!

Also, rook is the proper name for the castle piece in chess

Hitting into a DP is not really controllable. He had a long at bat and unfortunately hit the ball to a terrible spot. Peraza took a horrible off balance swing on a first pitch with the bases loaded and no outs. He might as well have just conceded his at bat. No comparison there.

[Tadasimha]

Damn Caleb Cotham already retired? lol

[ochoa30]

Ah, I see. That is very true. Was still just 1 of 3 outs. I don't even mind a guy making in out on a first pitch but just swing hard. Nothing good will come from a swing like that.

Then they traded Chappie to the Cubs for Gleyber Torres, and then a few months later signed Chapman as a free agent. So for a few bucks they got Chapman and Torres for Rookie.
Don't forget Renda. Walt doesn't make that trade without Renda coming back.

The Alcantara Experiment bangs one on from beyond the grave

[ochoa30]

Don't forget Renda. Walt doesn't make that trade without Renda coming back.

The sad part is that the main piece was probably Eric Jagielo and he doesn't look like he's getting out of double a anytime soon if ever. Will always be a brutal trade no matter what happens.

[Tadasimha]

Arismendy will save us all

[Tom Servo]

Alcantara and Gennett both breathing down Peraza's neck at the moment. I don't think the Reds should change course, but there's gonna be calls for it.

[Tom Servo]

"The Manager" is Buck Showalter, for those playing along at home.

[Tony Cloninger]

The sad part is that the main piece was probably Eric Jagielo and he doesn't look like he's getting out of double a anytime soon if ever. Will always be a brutal trade no matter what happens.

I think MLB mandated the Reds to make the trade and help the Yankees. The whole thing was a joke. They panicked.

I'd feel better if we moved on. Think of it as the equivalent of the Reds releasing Chapman. They ****ed up. It is what it is.

Put one into the river, Joey!

The Reds can't lay off the splitter/changeup down.

I'm all for giving Alcantara some playing time at 2B. He's still young and arguably has more upside than Peraza.

[Banshee]

Yanks defense =no bueno.

[Reds Fanatic]

Votto reaches on an error as Headley boots the ball on the shift

[OnBaseMachine]

Hilarious strike 1 call.

[Reds Fanatic]

Wow Hernandez is awful behind the plate that pitch was not close to a strike

[Tom Servo]

lol Thom admits his rant was pointless

[ochoa30]

I'd feel better if we moved on. Think of it as the equivalent of the Reds releasing Chapman. They ****ed up. It is what it is.

I mean I hear you but we know it ain't gonna happen

Most of his rants are pointless

Duvall singles to left. 5-2 Yankees

[OnBaseMachine]

Duvall RBI single.

[BluegrassRedleg]

If they had made Tanaka throw another 20 pitches or so by now, I'd feel good about our comeback chances.

[Kc61]

I don't watch too many Yankee games but they seem to always run long.

They do not rush themselves.

Can't believe this game is only in the fifth.

[Reds Fanatic]

Suarez grounds into a 6-4 FC

[WildcatFan]

Lot of stranded runners. This is a couple breaks from being a much closer game.

Tanaka is a notorious slow pitcher, too. He's brutal.

Yeah, can't stand watching the guy. I hate that the reds have let him off the hook so many times tonight.

[Raisor]

I'd rather strand runners than not get runners on at all.

Flips the lineup over at the very least

[BluegrassRedleg]

Need a 1-2-3 inning here, then start chipping away.

Where not here to make you feel better? This is RedsZone. The bitterness lingers.

Schebler grounds out

[Tony Cloninger]

Better AB from Peraza really. It's hard for a free swinging majority lineup to be patient against this guy. Tucker at least went 3-2 and then just missed hitting it in the air. I rewinded the pitch and he really did just miss it.

[Tadasimha]

Make him work, Schebler!

Yeesh

iPhone posting is bad. I'm going to grammar correct myself. We are not here to make you feel better. Now I feel better.

Peraza grounds out to short

[WildcatFan]

Getting closer to the pen....

[Reds Fanatic]

Barnhart strikes out

[WildcatFan]

Angel Hernandez is the worst.

[VR]

Should have top of the lineup coming up twice, plenty of opportunities to win this one.

[Tadasimha]

Angel Hernandez is the worst.

His mother thinks hes an Angel

[WildcatFan]

Anybody play DraftKings? I'm over here seething at Murphy, A Jones, and Stanton combining for a whopping 2 points.

That damn site is addicting. I came in first twice in my first month of playing and have been chasing that dragon ever since.

[ochoa30]

Angel Hernandez is the worst.

Most umps call one specific thing. This guy is all over the place. How can you give the pitcher the low strike, the inside one, the high and outside one, etc... you gotta wonder if his eyes even work. I wonder if they check that year to year. If not they should. These guys are pretty old for the most part.

[Mutaman]

Warren Spahn? I can't recall if he was a big K guy or not. Long career though.

1. 2,583 strikeouts
2. At age 42 lost a 16 inning game to marichal when Willie Mays hit a game-winning solo home run off Spahn with one out in the bottom of the 16th inning.
3. Threw a no hitter when he was 39, and then threw another one at age 40.
4. "[Spahn] will never get into the Hall of Fame. He won't stop pitching."- Musial
5. Won 20 games 13 times. Between 1953 and 1961 there was only one year when he didn't win 20 games.
6. Missed a few years while he was in combat at the Battle of the Bulge and in the battle for the bridge at Remagen, Germany, where many men in his company were killed. Awarded a Bronze Star and a Purple heart.

Old Spahnie!

[Reds Fanatic]

Hicks hit by the pitch

Take that, Hicks

I've done football the last couple seasons, haven't tried baseball yet. Gives you more of a reason to follow but you ain't gonna win much.

I haven't played this season yet, but kicked serious booty last year.

[malcontent]

Is Hicks going to come back to Earth? I used to think he'd be a good guy to target in a trade: a 14th overall pick whose star had faded. Wonder what took him so long?

I know about as much about football as I do 1930s Swedish politics.
