Maybe the tiredness sets in today for the Yankees. One can hope.

[Ironman92]

Yankees 8
Reds 6

[PutPeteIn]

Reds had next to no shot last night with Davis going. Finnegan can't get back soon enough.
That said I think the Reds will have a much better chance of winning tonight for three reasons:
A. Adelman is twice the pitcher Davis is.
B. Cc Sabathia is an aging has been.
C. Revenge

[Ironman92]

Reds game plan yesterday was Dustyesque. They swung early and often and didn't work Tanaka at all. Yankees came off an 18 inning game with a tired bullpen. First game I've felt this way this season.

[cumberlandreds]

This game is on FS1 tonight not FSO. Whoopee! No Thom, I hope. :scared:

[Wolves198921]

Hopefully tonight will be a better result, but damn the Yankees are tough.

[The Operator]

This game is on FS1 tonight not FSO. Whoopee! No Thom, I hope. :scared:

Was just thinking the same thing. I'm good with a night off from Thom.

[Tom Servo]

I just saw a tweet from Sheldon about Cingrani and I realized I totally forgot Cingrani exists since he went on the DL.

[Tom Servo]

Monster HR from Gary Sanchez

[The Operator]

Welp.

1-0 Yankees


Can already tell this is gonna be a very pro Yankees broadcast

[Tom Servo]

Looks like Yankee fans easily equal Reds fans in the crowd. Pretty embarrassing.

[Wolves198921]

Well at least we only have to play them twice more after today.

[Tom Servo]

Welp.

1-0 Yankees


Can already tell this is gonna be a very pro Yankees broadcast
Well these are their announcers.

[The Operator]

Well these are their announcers.

Why is that? I thought it was odd that Paul O'Neill was part of it. Does FS1 just pick one team's broadcast and air it? That's pretty cheap if so.

[Big Klu]

Welp.

1-0 Yankees


Can already tell this is gonna be a very pro Yankees broadcast

I don't know the PBP man, but Paul O'Neill is doing color.

[OnBaseMachine]

3-2 belt high fastball right down the middle to Sanchez. There's not a hitter in baseball that misses that pitch.

[PutPeteIn]

Davis gives up 3 last nite in 1st.
Adleman 1 run in first tonight.

It's called giving your club a chance people.

[The Operator]

Davis gives up 3 last nite in 1st.
Adleman 2 run in first tonight.

It's called giving your club a chance people.Adleman only gave up the 1 run. It was a solo blast.

Ah yea, Starlin Castro. You can take the player out of The Cubs, but you can't take the Cub out of the player.

[Tom Servo]

I don't know the PBP man, but Paul O'Neill is doing color.
Michael Kay is the PBP man, also his role on the YES Network for Yankees games.

[Raisor]

If my cat wasn't already named Votto I would name him that after this:

FS1 should have gone with a mixed crew of Chris Welsh and Paul O'Neill, two players who played for both the Reds and Yankees.

[The Operator]

Duvall hit a looong fly ball to the biggest part of the park.

Both runners advance, Geno hits with 2 outs.

[Tom Servo]

Boy what's it gonna look like in the summer at home if the Reds are still hitting fly balls like that

[The Operator]

Suarez grounds out. 1-0 Yanks after 1.

Boy what's it gonna look like in the summer at home if the Reds are still hitting fly balls like thatWe'll be trying to win games 15-14 instead of just 10-9.

[ochoa30]

If Adelman can keep it remotely close we should have a good chance. Sabathia is garbage.

[Tom Servo]

Didi HR, 2-0 Bronx Bombers

[The Operator]

Well this isn't fun so far

[ochoa30]

Not looking good. Tough watching these guys pitch every day.

[BluegrassRedleg]

We've started absolute stiffs in both games against the Yanks. Would have been nice to have a couple of guys in this series to make it interesting.

Agreed, amazed he's still around. 5 runs is good but were gonna need a lot more to win.

[Red Raindog]

Time to go deep

[redhawkfish]

I know these are the Yanks announcers, but they have been fair and are actually talking about baseball.

[The Operator]

[ochoa30]

Growing up in CT I've always hated Michael Kay but he is one of the least biased guys around. Gets excited pretty evenly throughout the game.

[The Operator]

Ah, nice long at bat but Geno K's

C'mon Schebler

[The Operator]

Welp, Schebler grounds out but it was a great inning overall.

Need Adleman to settle in and hopefully the offense has some more in store. I don't feel remotely safe with a 3-run lead.

[Red Raindog]

Walk the pitcher makes you an idiot

Jeez Adleman

Leadoff walk to Sabathia? Ugghhh

3rd baseman most definitely affected his route around 3rd base making that play close

Offense gives you a 5-2 lead and you respond by walking the pitcher? I'm so tired of watching this pitching staff nibble.

[redhawkfish]

Walk the pitcher makes you an idiot

Especially after your team gives you a three run lead. Love the avatar also!:beerme:

Yes sirree!!!

2 outs

[Tom Servo]

You all doubted Adleman's plan.

[50YrRedsFan]

Most have to nibble or get hammered.

[ochoa30]

3rd baseman most definitely affected his route around 3rd base making that play close

I don't think it did but id have to watch again to be sure.

[malcontent]

I know he's given up 2 long-balls, but at least Adleman has a changeup that he's not afraid to use.

That alone places him ahead of Davis, IMO.

[The Operator]

Sanchez grounds to Suarez, and Adleman mitigates the leadoff walk.

[The Operator]

Most have to nibble or get hammered.Yea but when they nibble, they walk guys and *then* get hammered when they're forced to throw a strike.


I'm starting to think the real ticket is to just have really good pitchers. Worked good in 2012, playoff meltdown notwithstanding.

Reds have a lot of really not ready pitchers starting, the only exception being Garrett.

Ump missed that one badly....definitely a strike.......now 2 on with no outs.

Didi makes it 5-3 on an RBI single with 2 outs

[50YrRedsFan]

OK

[Ironman92]

Very happy that this team looks like it can have Votto (1.050+ OPS)....with getting more pitches to drive in RBI

because....

They look like the are going to have 4 other guys that might go .920, .900, .875, .850.....all plugged into the midst of the order.

Billy has a few hot streaks and stays decent.....Peraza can do enough to bat 8th. Hope Meso can get to where he earns a 6 or 7 hole batter.

Fingers crossed

[Wolves198921]

I'm muting the TV, can't stand these pro NY announcers.

[The Operator]

Reds have a lot of really not ready pitchers starting, the only exception being Garrett.Adleman is about as ready as he's ever going to be.

It's just that his ceiling is that of a 5th starter, at best. Which is okay - it's just not good when he's one of your best.

[Ironman92]

STOP throwing first pitch strikes to Didi and pitch him outside. Geesh

[Ironman92]

I'm muting the TV, can't stand these pro NY announcers.

It's just that his ceiling is that of a 5th starter, at best. Which is okay - it's just not good when he's one of your best.Yep. Looks like the majority of these kids are 5th starters at best.

[malcontent]

Errrm....does Adleman have a slider or cutter?

[Tom Servo]

Yep. Looks like the majority of these kids are 5th starters at best.
Kids like Arroyo, Feldman, and Adleman?

[Raisor]

Yep. Looks like the majority of these kids are 5th starters at best.

Young pitchers take time to develop.

[Tom Servo]

Votto already has more HRs than Jason Bay, Yankees announcers giving me more good information than the Reds.

[The Operator]

Did the TV guys just say Votto finished second in ROY voting in 2009? Because 2008 was his rookie season.

[WVRedsFan]

Garrett hasn't pitched like a 5th starterYeah, I said earlier he was the exception .

[The Operator]

I'm afraid we may have let Sabathia get settled in.

And this 2-run lead does not feel safe.

[Tom Servo]

Yeah, I said earlier he was the exception .
Okay but then the only other guys to make a start (precisely one start each) were Romano and Reed, who have the stuff to be mid-rotation or better arms and certainly display better stuff than what Rookie Davis has.

Torreyes K's

Gardner lays down a nice bunt for a single.

Lorenzen warming in the pen.

I love that Joey looks like he's on his way to his best season ever but it pisses me off when he doesn't stretch towards where the ball is being thrown from....and with the wrong foot on the bag....on the back of the bag instead of the front and his heal is on the base instead of his toe.

I don't get it.

[The Operator]

Sanchez K's after trying to decapitate Mesoraco on his swing follow through 2 pitches in a row.

[Red Raindog]

Lorenzen coming in it appears

[malcontent]

Lorenzen vs. Sabathia. Hmmm.

[The Operator]

Lorenzen takes the bump

[Tom Servo]

He's always been in the AL so we don't see him much, but this is my enduring memory of Jacoby Ellsbury

https://www.boston.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/tacoby.jpg

[The Operator]

Lorenzen wanted no part of Judge, 4 pitch walk.

[The Operator]

Didi singles to center, and after 2 quick outs The Yankees are now threatening.

[Tom Servo]

Didi clearly holds a grudge against the Reds.

[The Operator]

Wild pitch by Lorenzen moves the runners up. 2nd and 3rd, 2 outs

[WVRedsFan]

Just let it go man. He knows what he knowsIt wasn't a criticism. It was only an observation. These guys may turn into number ones for all I know.

[The Operator]

Oh good god Lorenzen

Carter HBP, bases loaded with 2 outs.

[Red Raindog]

Lorenzen ugh

[OnBaseMachine]

Who calls these dumb pitches? You have Carter 0-2, a guy who chases breaking crap out of the zone constantly...so you throw him three straight fastballs? Stupid.

[RedsfaninMT]

Lorenzen ugh

Hopefully uggghhh has the same results this time

[The Operator]

Lorenzen either has it or he doesn't on a given night.

Not looking too great tonight.

[Red Raindog]

Yanks have missed a few chances

[WVRedsFan]

That was a CoCo Lorenzen inning :).

[The Operator]

Lorenzen wiggles off the hook. Yankees strand all 3.

Now the question is, will Bryan Price be able to deviate from his script, since we all know he was probably planning for Lorenzen to go at least 2 tonight? Because he doesn't look good at all. I really don't want another debacle like The Cubs series.

Fish up on the birds 5-1 in case you like the Reds being in first...

[The Operator]

Billy is out by a mile trying to stretch a single into a double.

[Wolves198921]

I think the announcers are pro NY because they have the largest bandwagon fanbase in all of MLB. That's also why so many Yankee fans are there, they are not from or live in NY, but are just simply bandwagon fans.

[BluegrassRedleg]

Still worth the risk, although I guess you could argue he's easily steal 2nd and 3rd anyway. I like putting the pressure on D.

This is actually the Yankee broadcast. Apparently FS1 just pipes one of the two team's broadcasts nationally instead of using their own crew. Kinda cheap for such a big sports network.

On the contrary, he's hard to hit. Which is why I don't agree with chasing a first pitch when he's thrown 8 straight balls. Let him get himself in trouble.

Is what it is though.

[RedlegJ]

You guys act like Betances is easy to hit lol

Not at all. Its just that he didn't have it at all the first two batters and Duvall helped him out by swinging at a breaking ball that should have been his 9th straight ball and he was lights out after.

O'neil doesn't strike me as the sharpest pencil in the box...

[WVRedsFan]

Iggy, all we don't want is a 3-run homer

[Ironman92]

[Tadasimha]

[ochoa30]

How do you walk 2 guys up by 2. Come on Raisel!!

[The Operator]

Game over!

Whew!

[Ironman92]

His pitch rhythm seems off

[Tom Servo]

We're good again! :beerme:

[Tadasimha]

Yes!

Just like Price planned it!

[Reds Fanatic]

Huge DP! Reds win!

[DocRed]

Suarez or should i say Mr. Gold Glove!

[The Operator]

Alright. I'll take a split against The Yankees

[RedsBrick]

Baseball is a funny game.

[Ironman92]

I believe the Reds are 5-0 in games that I do my thing before the game starts and no one messes with it.

[RedTeamGo!]

Move Suarez to shortstop - no thanks.
