Gold Glove work by Suarez

[butsch16]

Suarez is a pretty good 3rd basemen.

[50YrRedsFan]

It's kind of strange to see empty seats at AT&T park. The most losses in MLB for the Giants to this point of the season will do that.

[Big Klu]

5-4-yessiree-3!

Bryan Price being back in his home area might be cool if he had any discernible personality.

"Triple" for Billy.

Bip was pretty good in 1992.

[WrongVerb]

We should all take the lesson that just because a player may not be good at first doesn't mean he won't get much, much better. Knowing the hard work Suarez put in to get that good really has made me a big fan of his.

[BluegrassRedleg]

Bip was pretty good in 1992.

"Mini Braggs"

[Ironman92]

Bip was pretty good in 1992.

Yeah I know...had some good years

I loved Bip Roberts. Still makes me happy that the Reds got him.

Bip in '92:

4 HR's, 45 RBI's, 92 runs in 601 AB's (147 games played)
62 BB's, 54 K's
69 games in LF
42 games at 2B
36 games at 3B
16 games in CF

[Rantly]

All 4 infielders took several steps in right when pitcher released ball, distracted him.

[Tom Servo]

oh man, there was a back to the bowling shirts? we didn't get to see that.

Remember that MLB commercial Bip did with Tony Gwynn when he confused himself with Robin Roberts baseball card and value of said card? Classic

[durl]

Just lost satellite signal due from huge storm clouds. I shall live the game thru you fine people.

And I'm back now. Good dish alignment is everthing.

[BluegrassRedleg]

Span has crushed Arroyo twice now. Bronson missed location badly with that one.

[BluegrassRedleg]

Greinke isn't doing anything against the Pirates tonight.

[BluegrassRedleg]

Another "triple" for Billy.

[BluegrassRedleg]

RBI single for Votto. Tied at 2-2.

[durl]

A pseudo hit-and-run pays off.

Blach seems to be hanging a lot of pitches tonight. We need to crush a few.

You could tell Nunez was distressed that Hamilton was around third and headed home by the time he fielded that ball. It was a "no human should be there" reaction, and Nunez is fast.

My satellite signal is more reliable than cable signal in my neighborhood. (Comcast)

Great job of Suarez getting 0-2 to 3-2, but grounds into inning-ending DP.

[durl]

I thought Suarez might punch one thru. It was a good at-bat.

Gotta give Arroyo credit. Giants offense is terrible but he's giving the reds what they need right now.

Cozart is #2 in all of baseball in pitches per plate appearance.

Mesoraco seems to always want to kill the ball...he swings so hard.

[Freak25]

I'll take that performance from Bronson every time.

[BluegrassRedleg]

Cozart is #2 in all of baseball in pitches per plate appearance.

Not tonight. :p

[Stray]

All things considered, Arroyo has been so much better than I expected. And he's gotten better as he's gotten into rhythm.

[Freak25]

Nice block by Mes. I expected him to come up with a torn hammy. ;)

[Tom Servo]

Storen coming back to Earth.

[50YrRedsFan]

Storen coming back to Earth.

At least he didn't hit anyone

[Kingspoint]

Storen coming back to Earth.

He has been a great surprise so far. If he can do it once, he can do it again.

Wonder if Iggy and/or Lorenzen is available tonight. Both pitched two innings on Tuesday.

If not, Wandy may be out there for awhile.

Reds also have Wood, Brice, Stephenson, Astin.

To quote something I once heard Vin Scully say as commercial was coming on -

"0 and 2. What a terrible pitch."

[durl]

This thread is full of night-owls and west-coasters.
Central Zone here. And it is past my bedtime...

[WVRedsFan]

Duvall needs to go yard (or at least get a hit)

[PutPeteIn]

Seriously how do you not hold on to Cozart at the deadline if Reds are contending?
We have suffered long enough!!!

[50YrRedsFan]

I agree with Thom (Heaven forbid) Bad pitch calling.

[durl]

Please, Geno.

And he flies out by the time I hit "Send."

[WVRedsFan]

Well, that was disappointing

[50YrRedsFan]

The Reds have had several chances to break this game open. I hope it doesn't come back to bite them.

[Playadlc]

Cozart was limping at the end of the inning.

[Freak25]

Do we see good or bad Lorenzen?

[paulrichjr]

Cozart was limping at the end of the inning.

Yes he was. And was grimacing

[Freak25]

Wandy's stuff is wicked tonight!

[50YrRedsFan]

Wandy made Pence look really bad

[Tom Servo]

Wandy tho

[WVRedsFan]

Scooter giveth and Scooter taketh away

[BluegrassRedleg]

Why is he calling off Billy Hamilton for that??? :bang:

[Tom Servo]

Scooter...

[Freak25]

I felt like I just watched a clip from "The Bad News Bears".

Scooter....

[Kingspoint]

MLB announcers called Span Edward Scissorhands. They said the 50-year old ballboy in Anaheim would have caught that ball.

[Kc61]

Most annoying thing is how Scooter called everybody off.

[Tom Servo]

Wandy got no chill

[Edskin]

Hate that that's ruled a double. Stupid

[Reds Fanatic]

Great job by Peralta

[50YrRedsFan]

I remember many games at Candlestick Park where the winds played havoc with the baseball.

[Freak25]

Not touching Wandy tonight.

[aernisius]

No TV here. Did Scooter drop it, or not get to it?

[Kingspoint]

Scooter!!

Triple off the wall.

3-base error with a really bad scorekeeper. Makes one really see how Cincy's Defense is superior after seeing this and the Yankees.

[RiverRat13]

Great job by Peralta.

Badly misplayed it so it fell in.

[Kingspoint]

And they didn't give Gennett an error on a horrible defensive play.

[Freak25]

Let's get an insurance run

[50YrRedsFan]

No TV here. Did Scooter drop it, or not get to it?

Called everyone off the ball, then missed it by 5 feet

[Ron Gant]

No TV here. Did Scooter drop it, or not get to it?

Both.

[PutPeteIn]

Did Cozart play the field in the 8th?

[BCubb2003]

No TV here. Did Scooter drop it, or not get to it?

It looked as if the wind took it as he waved everybody off. He stumbled back for it, but didn't reach it.

[50YrRedsFan]

Did Cozart play the field in the 8th?

Yes, but you could see him limping

[WVRedsFan]

That pitch was outside

[Kingspoint]

I remember many games at Candlestick Park where the winds played havoc with the baseball.

Different location. No similarity at all.

[Freak25]

Raisel time.

[50YrRedsFan]

That pitch to Kiv was outside. Ump must be hungry

[PutPeteIn]

Yes, but you could see him limping

Thanks 40. Hopefully just a cramp.

[Ron Gant]

Well if nothing else, Iglesias makes the "All-Necklace" Team.

[50YrRedsFan]

Strikes please

[Reds Fanatic]

96 MPH. K for Raisel

[durl]

Well if nothing else, Iglesias makes the "All-Necklace" Team.
Careful. The way MLB is going, that may become a thing very soon.

[Freak25]

Raisel got a payback call on strike 2.

[50YrRedsFan]

[WVRedsFan]

Bloop single with Posey up. Why oh why>

[Playadlc]

Bad jump by Hamilton.

Nice jump by Schebler. Outstanding catch on a tough ball coming off RH bat.

[Ron Gant]

Good play by Mouth-guard there.

[Reds Fanatic]

Good running catch for Schebler

[WVRedsFan]

Whew. Great play by Schlebler, but lousy throw.

[Freak25]

Schebby!! big out

[Reds Fanatic]

[WVRedsFan]

Ugh. Span.

[Reds Fanatic]

Yes!

[WVRedsFan]

TOBTTR!

[Freak25]

THIS ONE BELONGS TO THE REDS!

I like what i'm seeing....

[Tom Servo]

We're still good! :beerme:

[50YrRedsFan]

Reds don't do anything easy.

[reds44]

world serious

[Kc61]

Corner outfield play of Schebler and Duvall helped pin this down in the ninth.

[PutPeteIn]

Gamecast had that ball going out of the stadium by Belt. I think they do that stuff on purpose!
Nonetheless Reds have won 9 of 11 just half game out of first!

[Playadlc]

This is a fun team.

0.93 for Iggy.

LOL....all the swearing about Arroyo.......heck of a story for us older guys. I didn't know what to think but I'm glad he is on our team.

[cumberlandreds]

The old man can still get it done. I never thought Arroyo would help this much. Just take it and run with it. You have to like how the Reds are winning some of those close games. Good defense and good bullpen will do that.
