Trevor Bauer P

[Tadasimha]

Gennett is the DH?

I was expecting Mesoraco.

[ScotlandRed]

Gennett is the DH?

I was expecting Mesoraco.

Yeah, it's pretty inexplicable

[klw]

Yeah, it's pretty inexplicable

The Reds' choice of DH usually is.

[Wolves198921]

I love getting a DH. Wish the NL allowed it.

[Raisor]

Yeah, it's pretty inexplicable

Then there is no backup catcher. Turner is on the DL.

[Raisor]

Maybe it isn't inexplicable after all?

[WrongVerb]

Thom waxing on Schwarber hitting a bomb off Cueto last night. Imagine that.

[Kc61]

Maybe it isn't inexplicable after all?

Yeah, it's explicable.

Two strikeouts by Bauer as the game begins.

[votto14]

Walk to votto.

[Jordan]

Votto with the bat flip after he walks, as usual.

I love it.

[votto14]

Hope we get good Bonilla tonight.

[Raisor]

Thom waxing on Schwarber hitting a bomb off Cueto last night. Imagine that.

Thom waxing? Eww

[votto14]

Man that was filthy!

[ScotlandRed]

Then there is no backup catcher. Turner is on the DL.

Ah, I see. Makes sense now

[votto14]

Wow where did those pitches miss

[Wolves198921]

Small strike zone umpire.

[The Operator]

That was an awfully tight strike zone on the walk to Brantley.

[ScotlandRed]

Balls 2 + 3 showing clear strikes on gameday

[WrongVerb]

Wow where did those pitches miss

I think this ump has a high zone. He called a strike on Billy that was nearly shoulder level.

[Raisor]

Man that was filthy!

Roy Tucker in a speedo?

[Jordan]

Man, Lisa had him struck out on that 1-2 pitch. WTH?

[The Operator]

I think this ump has a high zone. He called a strike on Billy that was nearly shoulder level.

I'm so sick of "well this guy calls them high" or whatever we've been dealing with for decades.


I can't wait for computerized balls and strikes.

[votto14]

Man this ump is horrible

[Jordan]

Just another reason we need computers calling balls/strikes.

- - - Updated - - -

Double, but they hold up Brantley. Nice job by Schebler.

[votto14]

Wow what a play by schebler saving a run

[The Operator]

Single gives them runners at 2nd and 3rd

Nice play by Schebler to save a run there

[Jordan]

So, instead of a 1-2-3 inning as it should have been, there are runners on second and third with two outs.

[The Operator]

This strike zone is absolutely crazy.

It better be that tight for Cleveland too.

[Kc61]

Reds have got to pitch more carefully to EE.

Let's start now.

[Jordan]

This is ridiculous.

- - - Updated - - -

Jeff Kellogg should be fined.

[Roy Tucker]

C'mon ump.

[Wolves198921]

This umpire is pissing me off, no strikes just ball, ball, ball

[votto14]

Bases juiced. Ridiculous we should be out of this inning

[Jordan]

Bases loaded. And Jeff Kellogg is blind.

[Wolves198921]

Well this game can get off to a horrific start, big early at bat

[The Operator]

He didn't even want to call strike 1 against Ramirez but he did

[WrongVerb]

This is theater of the absurd. If it continues and I'm Bryan Price, I'm getting thrown out for arguing balls and strikes.

- - - Updated - - -


He didn't even want to call strike 1 against Ramirez but he did

I got that sense as well. Wow!

[votto14]

Whew. Inning over

[Kc61]

Hopefully the walk to EE reflects a different strategy. You can't let EE beat you, he's the obvious HR guy.

Was unhappy to hear EE hit two homers last night.

[Jordan]

Wheeeeeew.

Jeff Kellogg still sucks though.

[Wolves198921]

Whew! Just feet from 4-0

[Chip R]

Thom waxing on Schwarber hitting a bomb off Cueto last night. Imagine that.

I turned the game on last night and he was doing it then. Wanted to make me throw a brick through the T.V.

[The Operator]

Phew they got out of it

If this strike zone continues they need to complain. I'm not much for showing up umpires but sometimes they deserve it.

[votto14]

I'm not gonna blame Bonilla that inning. Kid is fighting. I wish they would go to the automatic strike zone. This is beyond putrid.

[Jordan]

Hopefully the walk to EE reflects a different strategy. You can't let EE beat you, he's the obvious HR guy.

Was unhappy to hear EE hit two homers last night.

I don't know. Are you sure he's still on the juice? Because when he was on the juice in Toronto, he was excellent. In Cincy pre-juice days? Not so much.

Just hard to tell when the obvious roid users are taking a year off to be safe after signing a $60M guaranteed contract. No need to risk anything right now. Last night was the aberration for EE's current season. He's been very bad. I'm guessing he's off the juice this year.

[votto14]

That looked outside!

[Jordan]

Suarez Ks on a very close call. This ump though.

[Wolves198921]

How much are the Indians paying the umpire?

[Roy Tucker]

Wow.

[The Operator]

Okay so strike three on Suarez would have been a ball for Lisa

Bryan needs to get in the umps ear about this NOW

[WrongVerb]

Suarez strikes out on ball 3 to Brantley.

[Kc61]

I don't know. Are you sure he's still on the juice? Because when he was on the juice in Toronto, he was excellent. In Cincy pre-juice days? Not so much.

I'm not commenting on PEDs, I have no idea on that and didn't mean to imply any.

But, particularly at GABP, it seems too easy for EE to homer and I would pitch carefully to him.

[votto14]

Wow we are getting ripped off tonight. I know I complain a lot but tonight I am going to big time!

[Wolves198921]

Announcer said this is the second interleague series, guess the Yankees are NL now?

[The Operator]

The Scoot Man singles with 2 outs

[WrongVerb]

Wow we are getting ripped off tonight. I know I complain a lot but tonight I am going to big time!

Sometimes the complaining is deserved. This is one of those times.

[Jordan]

Bauer just looks like a punk. Just has that kind of look about him.

[votto14]

Man we are hitting some rockets

[Roy Tucker]

Wow we are getting ripped off tonight. I know I complain a lot but tonight I am going to big time!

Pace yourself. We need you for later innings.

[WrongVerb]

Schebler and Barnhart with GABP home runs that are loud outs in Cleveland.

[Kc61]

Gets frustrating when Reds hit these warning track shots in bigger stadiums.

[The Operator]

I got that sense as well. Wow!
Yea there was a big hesitation. Almost like he was thinking "Well heck I've already screwed them several times, I guess I'll call this one a strike."

[Jordan]

Zimmer with good bunt, but too slow to beat it out. Good play by Geno.

[The Operator]

Suarez makes a nice play to nab Zimmer on an attempted bunt for a hit.

[Wolves198921]

I don't understand why they get a small strike zone and we don't. Home field advantage I guess.

[votto14]

Good inning kid.

[votto14]

Homer bailey close to getting back.

[The Operator]

Strike 2 to Billy would have been a ball for Lisa

[votto14]

Wow that was strike 3 lol

[Kc61]

I like the Reds' corner outfielders, but Winker would help in the bigger stadiums.

Maybe even as a DH. More of a line drive hitter.

Reds seem to be swinging for the GABP fences despite much deeper fences in some stadiums.

Glad to get that off my chest.

[The Operator]

Strike 2 to Cozart LOL

[WrongVerb]

The catcher extends his arm all the way up and to the left, and the umpire calls it a strike. Weird.

[Wolves198921]

No offense tonight

[klw]

No offense tonight

None taken

[The Operator]

TV guys making excuses for the umpire.

I'm sick of excuses. Automate balls and strikes!

[The Operator]

Welp

2-0 Indians

[Raisor]

None taken

Please close the thread.

No one is beating this one.

[votto14]

2-0 Indians!

[Tom Servo]

Santana - Smooth ft. Rob Thomas

[votto14]

On days you can close the gap in division we can never win or compete. Who knows. I just wish we could at least be competitive and get in the race.

[Roy Tucker]

I think that broke a seat.

[Wolves198921]

We just simply don't have the pitching to compete with tier A teams. Might steal one here and there but for the most part can't compete by giving up a ton of homeruns.

- - - Updated - - -

Need pitchers that don't give up several homeruns and walks a game.

[Raisor]

No offense tonight

Reds are averaging 5.1 runs a game.

Relax.

[The Operator]

Joey leads off with a single

[votto14]

3-0 base hit votto!

- - - Updated - - -

Alright boys let's get some runs

[The Operator]

Duvall!!!!!

Tie ball game!

[votto14]

Tie game!!! My goodness what a shot

[Wolves198921]

And now we are tied!

[Tom Servo]

Duvall! :jump:

tie game!

[Roy Tucker]

Dang.

[WrongVerb]

THAT was a freakin' ADAM BOMB!!

[klw]

Please close the thread.

[Kc61]

Duvall had been hitting decently, but not for home run power.

Good to see him hit a long one.

[Wolves198921]

I feel like the batter after a homerun gets out every time.

[BluegrassRedleg]

It's been awhile between drinks for Duvall. Nice to see it.

[The Operator]

I feel like the batter after a homerun gets out every time.

Rally Killer? :evil:

[Raisor]

And now we are tied!

I'm sorry, you already gave up. Come back tomorrow.

[WrongVerb]

I feel like the batter after a homerun gets out every time.

Probably because most batters make outs most of the time and it's more noticeable after a home run.

#confirmationbias

[The Operator]

Probably because most batters make outs most of the time and it's more noticeable after a home run.

#confirmationbias

If I didn't know any better I'd swear that baseball is a game built around failure.

[The Operator]

That was foul?

Looked like a homer to me.

[votto14]

Wow that's close

[WrongVerb]

I'll let the umps decide that.

[votto14]

That's about as close to a homer you'll ever see

[The Operator]

Brantley going on about how difficult umpiring is.

I don't disagree. It's why, when you have modern technology to make umpiring better, you should use it.

[WrongVerb]

Good point. That is weird that they don't have the poles painted all the way to the bottom.

[The Operator]

Tucker guns 'en down and that's 3 outs

[Tom Servo]

I don't need to be reminded of Tyler Holt.

[WrongVerb]

I don't need to be reminded of Tyler Holt.

He got released from the Dodgers AAA club just today or Yesterday.

[The Operator]

Good point. That is weird that they don't have the poles painted all the way to the bottom.

I feel like teams have a little too much leeway with the configuration of their ballparks. Things like that foul pole, the center field hill in Houston, stupid ground rules in certain parks, it's just all ridiculous to me.

[The Operator]

Wow Santana flat whiffed on that ball

[votto14]

Base hit Barnhart

[WrongVerb]

I like bowling. And I'm really, really good at it too.

[votto14]

Come on peraza

[WrongVerb]

I feel like teams have a little too much leeway with the configuration of their ballparks. Things like that foul pole, the center field hill in Houston, stupid ground rules in certain parks, it's just all ridiculous to me.

Mickey Mantle was of the same opinion. He said all parks should be the same dimensions.

[The Operator]

Peraza singles and we've got something cooking

[votto14]

Base knock peraza

[votto14]

Wow Indians had a brain fart

[The Operator]

I hate bunting

We already had a runner in scoring position

[Kc61]

I like the bunt there.

Hamiton might beat it out.

Not going to intentionally walk Cozart with open base - Votto up next.

Not a bad play, a bunt toward third would have been better.

[votto14]

Bases juiced for votto! Come on Joey

[WrongVerb]

I hate bunting

We already had a runner in scoring position

And with Billy running, you're probably not going to double him up. No reason she shouldn't swing away there.

[Roy Tucker]

Don't like having Hamilton bunt there.

[The Operator]

Cozart walks. Bases loaded for Joey

[Kc61]

Don't like having Hamilton bunt there.

Disagree, but whatever bags full for Votto. Good opportunity.

[klw]

I would walk Votto intentionally

[Roy Tucker]

Big area of rain heading towards the stadium.

[votto14]

Come on Joey!!!

[The Operator]

Joey got a meatball and just missed it

[_Sir_Charles_]

K looking. Wow. :(

[The Operator]

Votto K's

[votto14]

Wow we don't score here we deserve to lose

[Wolves198921]

Well golden opportunity blown

[klw]

I would walk Votto intentionally

Still would of walked him but good job by Bauer

[WrongVerb]

How was that a strike? That's a ball for Bonilla.

[RedsLvr]

That was an absolutely outstanding pitch to K Votto.

[votto14]

Pathetic.

[The Operator]

And that's why bunting sucks.

Maybe it works for other teams but it never works for The Reds

[Reds Fanatic]

That is big blown scoring chance there

[The Operator]

How was that a strike? That's a ball for Bonilla.

#TheHumanElement

[votto14]

This is why we don't win or compete... if you can't freaking score when you got opportunities like that you deserve to lose.

[Wolves198921]

This is why we don't win or compete... if you can't freaking score when you got opportunities like that you deserve to lose.
I agree, it's demoralizing

[Kc61]

And that's why bunting sucks.

Maybe it works for other teams but it never works for The Reds

Not sure what bunting had to do with that outcome.

The bunt helped you get to bases loaded, one out, Votto up.

Joey's a pretty decent hitter, that's a pretty good spot to be in.

[votto14]

And just like that the Indians about to score. Just pisses me off to no end.

[Tom Servo]

This is why we don't win or compete... if you can't freaking score when you got opportunities like that you deserve to lose.
They're supposed to bat 1.000?

[The Operator]

This is why we don't win or compete... if you can't freaking score when you got opportunities like that you deserve to lose.
They gifted The Indians with an out.

Even with the middle of your lineup coming up, players still make an out more often than not. Outs are precious and we shouldn't be giving them away by bunting.

[Wolves198921]

Go rainout!

[WrongVerb]

This is why we don't win or compete... if you can't freaking score when you got opportunities like that you deserve to lose.

The Reds are not winning because of their starting pitching. The offense is fine.

[The Operator]

Not sure what bunting had to do with that outcome.

The bunt helped you get to bases loaded, one out, Votto up.

Joey's a pretty decent hitter, that's a pretty good spot to be in.
And Joey still makes an out the majority of the time.

I just hate giving away outs. You only get 27 of them to work with.

[votto14]

They're supposed to bat 1.000?

No but you gotta at least score when you get opportunities. realize this team sucks. I'm a diehard fan but we just don't do crap when we get the chance.

[WrongVerb]

So the Indians just had Lindor bunt. That's as weird as having Billy bunt. Maybe weirder.

[RedsLvr]

No but you gotta at least score when you get opportunities. Quit being a fair weather fan and realize this team sucks. I'm a diehard fan but we just don't do crap when we get the chance.

This team does suck..buts it's not because of their offense.

[Tom Servo]

Quit being a fair weather fan and realize this team sucks.
Buddy, I know they suck, and I'm not gonna toot my horn but I'm hardly "fair weather".

[WrongVerb]

And Joey still makes an out the majority of the time.

I just hate giving away outs. You only get 27 of them to work with.

Think of outs as the game clock. You get three ticks of the clock each inning, and twenty-seven ticks for the whole game. If you're a football team or a basketball team and you need to score, do you allow time to tick off on the game clock? In rare events, you might. Two on and nobody out with your leadoff hitter up isn't one of those rare events.

[Wolves198921]

We just don't have it

[votto14]

Indians lead 3-2 same old crap every night.

[WrongVerb]

Indians lead 3-2 same old crap every night.

Are you PutInPete's alter ego?

[Tom Servo]

Are you PutInPete's alter ego?
I'm starting to miss the Sun Deck again.

[Roy Tucker]

Indians lead 3-2 same old crap every night.

Patience, grasshopper.

[votto14]

Are you PutInPete's alter ego?

No but I'd at least like to compete and actually win some games instead of what we do every night it's frustrating.

[M2]

I blame Lisalverto Bonillla for putting this in my head. Now I make the rest of you share my torment.

[RedsLvr]

No but you gotta at least score when you get opportunities. realize this team sucks. I'm a diehard fan but we just don't do crap when we get the chance.

Reds are 5th in the NL and 7th in the league hitting with RISP..just an FYI

[votto14]

Yeah and we are 4 games out and 6 out in wildcard. Not real good huh

[Tom Servo]

Odd pitching change. Seems like a rain delay might be called any minute.

[Raisor]

And Joey still makes an out the majority of the time.



He actually doesn't anymore. He's pretty much stopped making an out. Over a .500 OBP in May

[WrongVerb]

No but I'd at least like to compete and actually win some games instead of what we do every night it's frustrating.

The Reds haven't lost yet. You're going to have to learn to relax when watching these games or you're going to give yourself a stroke.

That said, I do agree the losing gets old after awhile, but it's about to get better.

[RedTeamGo!]

Official game...lame

[The Operator]

Yeah and we are 4 games out and 6 out in wildcard. Not real good huh

If they're as bad as you say, why do you act so surprised when bad things happen?

[Donder]

We just don't have it

The Will To Win?

12436

[RedTeamGo!]

No but I'd at least like to compete and actually win some games instead of what we do every night it's frustrating.

How is a 3-2 game not competitive?

[votto14]

I'm talking about winning one losing and it repeats. We can never be consistent.

[Raisor]

I'm talking about winning one losing and it repeats. We can never be consistent.

Speak for yourself.

I'm really consistent.

[WrongVerb]

Speak for yourself.

I'm really consistent.

I'm consistently inconsistent.

[Raisor]

I'm consistently inconsistent.

And you're really tall.

[RedsLvr]

I'm talking about winning one losing and it repeats. We can never be consistent.

That's exactly what consistent means

[RedTeamGo!]

It reminds me of the Cavs fan reaction after they lost game 3. They just couldn't believe the Cavs lost a game. "What does it mean?!?" "How did this happen?!!" "What is wrong with Lebron???"

It's like, jesus, the guys in the other uniforms are professionals as well.

[votto14]

It just sucks as a fan.

[Raisor]

I demand the banana phone!

The mouth breathers need to vent to Marty!

[RedTeamGo!]

I'm talking about winning one losing and it repeats. We can never be consistent.

I agree, I just can't figure out why the reds don't just win every night.

[Raisor]

I agree, I just can't figure out why the reds don't just win every night.

Spiders

[RedTeamGo!]

Spiders

Wrong!

It's clearly spider monkeys

Heard the sirens. But we're on the extreme SW corner.

Heard the sirens. But we're on the extreme SW corner.
I'm pretty much extreme NW, practically Montgomery County.

Always startling when those sirens come on though. Wife and I kinda looked at each other like "Tornado? Really?"

We're close to a siren so when it goes off, we hear it. The wife said "what?" And the dog looked at me with a "what's that, boss?"

Kinda gun-shy about them because we got missed by one in 1999 by just a mile or so. That's a bad feeling when watching radar and seeing a tornado get close and closer and closer.

Kinda gun-shy about them because we got missed by one in 1999 by just a mile or so. That's a bad feeling when watching radar and seeing a tornado get close and closer and closer.
I remember that 1999 tornado. It was awful.

I've had a pretty close encounter with a tornado, albeit a small one. A little EF0 tornado ripped through Carlisle one day. My dad and I were trying to open the doors to his truck and we couldn't get them open. My dad said "Whoa that's a tornado!" And I remember thinking "oh okay, sure..." before turning around and seeing it go right by, and then my thought was "holy crap that IS a tornado."

We watched it blow up a transformer at a nearby apartment building and then I frantically called my mom to tell her and my grandma to get to the basement.

Thankfully it was the smallest tornado on the scale and I don't think there were any injuries. Definitely the craziest things I've ever seen though.

And there was absolutely NO warning. The radar never picked it up and there were no sirens. On the weather stations that night they actually were able to find it but they had to use the Wright Bros' airport radar to pick it up because the cell was so low in the atmosphere and the weather guys never saw it.

[WrongVerb]

The aftermath of the 1974 Xenia tornado sparked my interest to pursue a meteorology degree.

Radars have been upgraded tremendously, in part to account for things like this. It's why things have gone from "we didn't see that one" to "we've picked up some rotation on radar and are issuing a warning."

[The Operator]

I'm glad to hear that. This was around 2006 or 2007 I think.

Radar and early weather warning is somethinrg I'm a-okay with putting a lot of resources into as a society.

Bauer just looks like a punk. Just has that kind of look about him.

Looks like they've had a touchdown in the Xenia area

Looks like something in your neck of the woods.

Not for the Lebanon-Waynesville part of the county.

Dang. More sirens.

Why couldn't this happen tomorrow when I'll be in Dayton?!?

Man the FSO weather delay segments sure are uh....neat(?)

Watching a tornado on the ground ripping up power lines on WHIO right now

Near I70 and 235 heading for New Carlisle

Dang. More sirens.

Is Mason setting off their sirens?

[klw]

Stay safe everyone!

[The Operator]

I blame Dan for this.

[Sea Ray]

The aftermath of the 1974 Xenia tornado sparked my interest to pursue a meteorology degree.

I remember that well. That storm did not bring a tornado to my neighborhood in Sharonville but it did drop softball size hail. We put it in the freezer to show off to folks in the days thereafter.

Blake Wood getting hot for the Reds. The game will resume in the top of the sixth.

And promptly end in the bottom of the 6th

Ba da tish

[Tom Servo]

We're back, Andrew Miller on with an out in the 6th to face Schebler.

[votto14]

Here comes bad Blake wood

[Tom Servo]

Thom's personal offense at failure by Reds players is so annoying.

[votto14]

Tucker hit by pitch.

[Roy Tucker]

Barnhart is quite stylish with the yellow fingernails.

State of the Rotation: Pitcher gives up 3 runs in 5 innings, and fans think to themselves 'Pretty good. Pretty good.'.

[BluegrassRedleg]

That's an ODD decision IMO. Hamilton could easily be at third here shortly. Why not take his out?

[votto14]

I'm getting sick of thom brennaman and his slurping of other teams

Good job Blake wood.

[Kc61]

Nice outing by Blake Wood.

[votto14]

Welp... kinda sad we just ain't real good. Frustrating watching this every night

[Tom Servo]

Thom's memory is a bit off. Weathers was a lightning rod in 2006 mostly as an inconsistent setup man. He was surprisingly effective and non-descript as closer in 2007.

[votto14]

We've had opportunities to close division gap with brewers losing and we crap the bed and can't win games.

[Kc61]

Welp... kinda sad we just ain't real good. Frustrating watching this every night

Go out to dinner.
Tape the game.
Look at the final score.
If the Reds won, then watch the tape.

[votto14]

I just want a winner. This isn't cutting it every night

[Raisor]

We know how you feel.

I mean you tell us 8-9 times every game.

Well it don't help by losing and keeping price. It's ridiculous. Just gonna get worse

it's terrible how they havn't won a game all year

You should boycott the rest of the season.

[votto14]

We are 6 games out in wildcard. And 4 tonight if we lose. Does that spell winning? I mean do you all not see the issues? Like I'm being serious. It went on all year last year and this year and some of y'all accept it.

[Raisor]

I know I complain a lot but tonight I am going to big time!

Well you did warn us

Because I understand they are rebuilding and that eventually it'll get better.

[Jordan]

LOL! Thom thought that was a HR. Didn't even make it to the track.

Thom is bad.

[Kc61]

Well it don't help by losing and keeping price. It's ridiculous. Just gonna get worse

John McGraw, reputedly the greatest manager ever, couldn't win with this rotation.

The triumverate of Bobby Cox, Tony Larussa, and Joe Torre, all simultaneously inducted into the Hall of Fame, couldn't win with this rotation.

Connie Mack, with the most wins by a manager all time, could not win with this rotation.

Sparky Anderson, who won the WS in both leagues and won 2,194 games, could not win with this rotation.

The Reds don't have a good rotation.

Have you not been reading Redzone at all?

[WrongVerb]

Thom, all you have to do is look at how the outfielders are moving to tell you whether that's a playable ball or not.

[Tom Servo]

I think he may be posting in an alternate dimension.

[Jordan]

Then Thom looks to Cowboy for help. Cowboy is like, nope, that was off the end of the bat, dummy.
