My daughter & I are going tonight and neither of us (nor my wife) have seen a win yet this season. Scooter, bring this to a conclusion for us! Help us; you're our only hope.

[androosh]

I am absolutely shocked Price is playing a bench player back to back days after he had a monster day the first game. Generally that means they ride the bench for a week or so.

Edit: apparently he's played in 4 games in a row now. Where have I been?

[Wonderful Monds]

If Scooter goes deep in his first AB is that a record for consecutive ABs with a HR?

[Tony Cloninger]

I expect him to be nailed in the goidor in his first AB.

[PutPeteIn]

Scooter was inspired by the negative words of BP saying that it was a slap in his face for Reds management to give out #4.
Now BP can't say diddly squat.

[Wolves198921]

With Arroyo pitching St. Louis will be licking their chops at a golden opportunity for home run revenge. This might be a usuall reds game this season where we are behind going into the sixth inning but come out with a come back win.

[Big Klu]

That ball needs to be caught.

Mesoraco with a strike to second base, but the ball is dropped. Stolen base.

[Tracy Jones]

Good to see that Jumbo Diaz found work as a ball boy

[Tracy Jones]

Only in tHom's world is a 3.3 ERA described as "miniscule"

So far so good from Arroyo. Looks vintage.

2 scoreless innings by Arroyo is more than I thought I'd see.

lol Big Klu is really Alex Trevino

[Wolves198921]

Can we trade pitching staffs with them? I was thinking that the Reds offense plus the St. Louis pitching staff makes for a World Series contender.

For pitchers, not so much.

Who'd Trevino win one with?

[Big Klu]

Who'd Trevino win one with?

The Reds in 1990. He wasn't eligible for the postseason, but the players voted to give a ring and partial share to players who played part of the season.

[Tom Servo]

nice going Thom

[WrongVerb]

Why are people cheering Scooter? What happened?

He had an RBI single in his first at bat last night.

[NebraskaRed]

Scooter is like David Lynch with the new Twin Peaks; he ain't giving you what you want.

[Tracy Jones]

He had an RBI single in his first at bat last night.

Thanks. Makes perfect sense.

[Big Klu]

Really!? I did not know that. Kind of cheapens the whole idea.

I don't know about that. He contributed to the championship season, even if it was in a minor way. They give rings to the medical staff, grounds crew, broadcasters, and clubhouse personnel. Why not for guys who played during the season?

Of course, it's up to the front office and the players who were on the postseason roster.

[klw]

He had an RBI single in his first at bat last night.

Well that is understating things a bit. He also doubled in the winning 2 runs in his last at bat on Monday.

Yep, yep, yep.
Surprised it lasted this long. Just a couple more innings arroyo, just try to get seven more outs without giving up more than three homeruns

[Tracy Jones]

For a minute there, I thought I was transported back to 2010...then Matt Carpenter brought me back

Had a feeling you were joking, but I wasn't sure.

A lot of people forget that Treviño was even with the Reds in 1990. The first week of September, Joe Oliver was nursing a minor groin injury, and Lou Piniella wanted a veteran to backup Jeff Reed until Oliver was ready to return. (September callup Glenn Sutko was the only other catcher on the roster.) So Bob Quinn claimed Treviño off waivers from the Mets. He only played sparingly, as Oliver quickly recovered, but Alex was a good pinch-hitter off the bench that last month. (If he had been eligible, I think he would have been added to the postseason roster instead of Terry Lee.)

[WrongVerb]

Seeing more pitches gives the pitcher more chances to make a mistake the hitter can drive somewhere. Film at 11.

[Wolves198921]

A sweep of the cardinals? Not if arroyo has anything to say about it.

Terry Lee was on that post season roster?

I remember seeing a write up of him in the BA prospect list in like '89. Lee was 25 or 26 at the time and in AA, and in the write up, the BA writer was like "we normally wouldn't put a player like this on this list but the Reds' system is that bad." (Paraphrasing)

[CaiGuy]

I was going to post about Arroyo getting his ERA under 6.

Back up to 6.41 now.

[Wolves198921]

I'm not even mad. I knew this was going to be a loss. The cardinals are pitching a guy we struggle with and they have been hitting arroyo well this season. Just not a good matchup, the players need to prepare for tomorrow as I think we have a chance tomorrow.

Yes. The Reds went with a nine-man pitching staff for the postseason (I believe Tim Layana was the pitcher they dropped off the roster), so they added Terry Lee as an extra bat off the bench. Billy Bates was then added as a replacement for the injured Bill Doran.

[Red Raindog]

Was I mean today?

I skipped my Kiwanis club meeting today to play golf.

If you've ever been a club like this we have a way of funding our administration costs with something called Happy Dollars where you pay to make announcements or poke fun at each other.

I gave $5 today which I requested be announced as one buck for each of Scooter's home runs and the last one because it happened against the Cardinals.

The kicker?

I made my best friend stand up to give the club to money and make the announcement.

Oh - did I mention he's named after Marty Marion (an old Cardinals star) and he's a die hard Cardinals fan.

[Wolves198921]

Tonight just isn't a good matchup, but again all we need to do is win tomorrow. Leak is pitching against us but I think the Reds will be comfortable hitting a pitcher they know real well, plus Feldman pitches well at home.

Lee and Bates on the post season roster was mind boggling. Of course now we are all glad that Bates was. If I remember right Doran was out with injury, so Bates made it.
Lee made it I think because they decided to go with 9 pitchers and Layana didn't make it. A 8 man bench nowadays we are lucky to have 4 bench guys. How the game has changed.

[CaiGuy]

One more Mr. Bronson!

[NebraskaRed]

When Arroyo runs out of gas, it's just instantaneous

[Roy Tucker]

Is it just me or is Arroyo's delivery more overhand now? Not spinning up those frisbees like before.

[Tadasimha]

Lynn out, Fowler pinch hitting

Come on, Bronson - one out!

[Wolves198921]

Fatso Lynn already out. Not sure why we aren't hitting him.

Nice move by Price....Wandy in to pitch

[OnBaseMachine]

Another crappy start by Arroyo.

[bleedsred]

Crap Price what was you thinking...lol...jk....still think it was good to get Bronson out....that may have been a 3 run dinger instead

[CaiGuy]

Didn't work out the best, but it was a good move to take him out at that point. Glad he didn't leave the veteran in for a chance at the 'quality start.'

[CaiGuy]

Another crappy start by Arroyo.

Yep, worst pitcher in the league to date.

He's had a really nice run lately. But I'm sorry...but I'm still not sold on him. Or Duvall for that matter. For both of them...the most pleasant surprise in my mind has been their defense. Everyone knew they had power. More than *I* thought, but they were clearly in the bigs due to their power.

Coming down to Iglesias!

[kaldaniels]

This team might not be playoff material, but they sure are fun to watch!

Yep. They need to pick their spot but over the next 365 days the plan needs to be to find a way to get a #1 starter. I'm counting on some of the injured guys to come back and be productive - but we need a #1 and it isn't going to be easy to get. Spare me your Jose Quintana ilk.

Schebler OPS is .888 now. Another surprise along with Cozart and the bullpen

True. I'm hoping to be wrong about Schebler. But the whiffs, batting average and lack of bb's concern me.

He's had a really nice run lately. But I'm sorry...but I'm still not sold on him. Or Duvall for that matter. For both of them...the most pleasant surprise in my mind has been their defense. Everyone knew they had power. More than *I* thought, but they were clearly in the bigs due to their power.

Tough crowd.

Heading into today's game he had 162 career major league games, with 550+ career plate appearances. 802 career ops.

What more do you need to just admit he's a legit major league starter?

Nobody is saying he will be a star.

Garcia strikes out swinging. 1 out

[Roy Tucker]

I wasn't a believer in either Duvall or Schebler for a long while. But they've won me over.

[Reds Fanatic]

2 outs as Molina grounds out

[_Sir_Charles_]

And this one belongs to the Reds!

[Banshee]

Piece of cake, reds win again.

[Reds Fanatic]

There we go. Reds win 6-4!!! Go for the sweep tomorrow

[Wonderful Monds]

Stay losin' Cards

[Kingspoint]

Happy, happy, joy, joy!

Nice turn around after the series in Toronto!

[WVRedsFan]

Reds win. Cards have lost 6 straight and the Reds go to 2 under .500 and within stroking distance of the Cubs and Brewers,

[BluegrassRedleg]

I missed every bit of this one until the final two outs... and it's STILL sweet because it's the Cards. :beerme:

[Big Klu]

Tonight's Joe Nuxhall Star of the Game is Patrick Kivlehan, whose 3-run PH homer in the 7th inning tied the game and changed the momentum.

[bleedsred]

Forget the Braves series?

[KeefeCato]

True. I'm hoping to be wrong about Schebler. But the whiffs, batting average and lack of bb's concern me.

I think Schebler is gonna hit homers in bunches be streaky as a hitter and have nice numbers at end of the year. Pretty much like Duvall. I would trade one of the two or Winker. Wouldn't give them away though. It's nice to have 30 home run power from your corner OFers. I am a OBP guy. IMO you have to have at least 2-3 guys with high OBP in your lineup,but it's also nice to have a couple bashers mixed in as well.

[KeefeCato]

Last time the Reds swept the Cards in a 4 game series?

Absolutely nothing wrong with him or his production thus far. Simply put, I have more faith in the abilities of Winker moving forward. One of Duvall or Schebler will have to go IMO to make room for Winker. I'd lean towards dealing Duvall currently because I think he'll get more of a return. To offset that is his versatility in being able to play 3rd as well. Tough call on that front.

Both guys are legit MLB players. But I can easily see both having BA's near the mendoza line just as easily as I see them where they are currently. It's not a knock on either's abilities...it's a ME problem. For some reason I'm having a tough time seeing either of them hit for enough of an average to suit me.

[Tadasimha]

Trying too!

[Roy Tucker]

Lesson learned tonight, don't cry wolf.

Why was Thom not excited at all calling Votto's HR lol

He's a joke/charicature at this point. He has to know that reds fans don't care for anything he does as a broadcaster. Right? Bueller, Bueller..

It's not a knock on either's abilities...it's a ME problem. For some reason I'm having a tough time seeing either of them hit for enough of an average to suit me.I have a hard time believing Winker will put up numbers even close to either Duvall or Schebler. The instant offense of both will never be duplicated by Winker, plus both Duvall and Schebler are OBP'ing .322-325, and OPS-ing at over .800. If I trade anyone (I'm gonna get killed here), it's Hamilton. Why? He's a banjo hitter with blazing speed. He aggravates me with his bunting skills, something that would be a sure hit most of the time. Getting him on base is a must and yet, when he gets on base, wonderful things can happen, but his OBP is .305, points below either corner outfielder, and he is the expendable one IMHO. Probably would bring a better haul, too. JMO.

You should post this in the Trade time thread on the main board.

[Ron Madden]

I think I see Walt in the crowd.

Where's Waldo?

[Ron Madden]

Bronson is Eric Milton.

I don't know about that but Bronson has lead a charmed life so far this season.
He's Dancin with the Devil and havin fun, sooner or later he has to pay the band.

I hated that the Reds resigned him.
At least right now he's eating a few innings and 14 of the 20 HRs he's served up have been solo shots. odds are that ain't gonna last.

I like Bronson and wish him all the best but I just can't see this ending well

[ScotlandRed]

Why was Thom not excited at all calling Votto's HR lol

I came on especially to post this.

I watch the highlights every morning on MLB At Bat when I wake up. The contrast between Thom's HR call for Kivlehans and Votto's homers is mind boggling. He almost sounds disappointed it went out.

Crazy.

[Ron Madden]

I'm not even mad. I knew this was going to be a loss. The cardinals are pitching a guy we struggle with and they have been hitting arroyo well this season. Just not a good matchup, the players need to prepare for tomorrow as I think we have a chance tomorrow.

Thank God the Reds don't give up as easily as you do.

Win! Win! Win! If the Reds keep doing this they are going to mess up and not get the number 2 pick in the 2018 draft. They go for the four game sweep today. I imagine it has been a while since they have a swept a four game series against the Cardinals?
