Also before the game today there is Vintage Game at 11:30. I believe one of Redszone's own will be playing in this game.

Here's the Cards and Reds Lineup just for comaparisons sake. :) The game is at 12:30 pm. No FSO TV, only the Cardinals are carrying it on their network.

Reds with 6 wins and 2 losses against them, so far this year.

Don't think so...Chip plays for the Cincinnati Buckeyes and the Red Stockings are playing the Bluegrass Barons.

Been working on organizing a late spring tweed ride around here (we have a fall one currently) and this gives me the idea of making it a ride to see vintage baseball!

[Raisor]

I have my broom

[Tadasimha]

I have my broom
Good - the kitchen is a mess

[cumberlandreds]

This bad boy is underway. I assume Marty is on vacation. Kelch doing PBP.

[Raisor]

I hate the Cardinals and their stupid fans

[ThatPitchIsDunn]

That'll do - Feldman with two punchouts and a grounder to 2nd to start things off.

[NebraskaRed]

Tidy first inning for Feldman

[cumberlandreds]

Easy first for Feldman. Reds coming to bat.

[Tadasimha]

Nice start, scotty 2 hotty

Ah, the fake Red Stockings. :( RedZone's own wouldn't be caught dead with those guys.

[NebraskaRed]

Votto singles

[Raisor]

Nice start, scotty 2 hotty

W--O--R--M!!!!

[ThatPitchIsDunn]

Duvall with a blooper to right - 1st and 3rd with two down for the Scheb.

[NebraskaRed]

Duvall singles, Votto to third

[ThatPitchIsDunn]

First pitch swinging, grounder to 2nd. No score, headed to the 2nd.

[cumberlandreds]

Duvall singles and the Scheb is up and promptly grounds out. Scoreless after one.

[NebraskaRed]

@LouisvilleBats 39s39 seconds ago
Through 3 IP Cody Reed has faced the minimum number of batters and has yet to allow a hit

[ThatPitchIsDunn]

Getting the Cards broadcast here - they've just informed me that Scott Feldman is Hawaiian.

[cumberlandreds]

Cards out in order again.

[Tadasimha]

More of that, please, mr feldman

[cumberlandreds]

Wrong. He is from Transylvania. His real name is Igor.

[NebraskaRed]

Scooter strikes out swinging

I don't trust anything that anyone affiliated with the Cardinals says anyways.

[Big Klu]

The game is on MLB Network here. FSMidwest (Cardinals broadcast). Don't know who their broadcasting crew is.

[Tom Servo]

I mean, he's Hawaiian in the sense that Austin Brice is Chinese.

The Mad Hungarian used to be one of them. I don't know if he's still there or not since I haven't watched one of their broadcast this year. But he's pretty unbearable.

- - - Updated - - -

Scoreless after two.

[NebraskaRed]

at least they start the next inning with Billy instead of the pitcher

[Big Klu]

I mean, he's Hawaiian in the sense that Austin Brice is Chinese.

Jim Day mentioned it once in a previous game. Feldman was born in Hawaii, but grew up in California and considers himself Californian.

[RedsLvr]

Yep..great at bat from Tucker to make that happen.

[NebraskaRed]

Duvall with a nice catch

[Big Klu]

It appears that the broadcasters are Dan McLaughlin and Jim Edmonds.

[cumberlandreds]

It appears that the broadcasters are Dan McLaughlin and Jim Edmonds.

I never can remember McLaughlin. He's OK enough but can be just a yes man for whoever he is with most times. I have never heard Edmonds but I doubt I would like him. :)

[NebraskaRed]

another 1-2-3 for Feldman

[Mitri]

Nice play by Peraza coming in on the chopper. He never makes it look easy, but with enough reps he may just be serviceable up the middle.

[Tadasimha]

9 up, 9 down, first time through the order

Put some runs on the board, lads!

[Ironman92]

Found it on a secondary MLB Network channel

Ch 478 Dish

[NebraskaRed]

Votto 2 for 2 with a pair of singles up the middle

[Tadasimha]

Well, this looks familiar

[NebraskaRed]

Duvall 2 for 2 with his second 2 out single

Time is a flat circle

[NebraskaRed]

Scheb grounds out on the first pitch, completing the time loop

[Tadasimha]

Duvall 2 for 2 with his second 2 out single

[Tadasimha]

No sweat about a no-hitter now, scott - keep after the shutout

[Big Klu]

I noticed on the ticker that the Astros just called up Dayan Diaz from AAA.

Now if they could bring in Jack Clark they would have Jack and Dayan on their team. Two great kids you know trying to hold on to sixteen as long as they can..

St. Louis is perfect for them.

[cumberlandreds]

Cards leave Carpenter stranded at third. Still scoreless.

[NebraskaRed]

Scooter with a single

[BCubb2003]

Time is a flat circle

You know what else is a flat circle? A circle.

[NebraskaRed]

Peraza singles, 2 on and no outs for Tucker

[NebraskaRed]

Tucker walks. Bases loaded for Feldman

[cumberlandreds]

Feldman K's.

[membengal]

This one is high comedy LOB frustrating so far. if ever you want an example of why SLG matters, check out all the singles and no runs so far today.

[cumberlandreds]

Hamilton hits into a 3-2 double play. Unbelievable.........

[BCubb2003]

Think of all the OBP though.

[ThatPitchIsDunn]

Of all the luck - Billy hits a sharp grounder, but right to first. Step on the bag and cut Scooter down at home.

[NebraskaRed]

yeah, that wasn't good

[RedsLvr]

Hamilton hits into a 3-2 double play. Unbelievable.........

It was incredibly unbelievable..I can't believe he didn't strikeout.

[cumberlandreds]

It was incredibly unbelievable..I can't believe he didn't strikeout.

The one time you would have liked to see him hit a fly ball, he doesn't.

[maniem]

This is classic Leake...gives up tons of singles, a few walks, but somehow finds way to escape several threats. His ERA looks good, but not at all indicative of how he really pitches. At some point, it will catch up to him.

[cumberlandreds]

A leadoff singles by Molina goes by the boards as Feldman gets the next three.

[Tom Servo]

Leake owns the Reds this year...but Feldman owns the Cardinals.

[membengal]

Viva SLG! A double from Duvall breaks the cap.

[cumberlandreds]

Reds Score! Reds Score! Duvall drives in Votto.

[klw]

Duvall with the change of storyline!

[NebraskaRed]

Imagine the score if only Duvall and Votto went to bat against Leake

[757690]

Cardinal defense is really bad these days.

[Cyclone792]

Votto with three hits. But they're only singles.

He stinks.

[cumberlandreds]

Scooter with the RBI single. 13th RBI of this series!

[membengal]

Gennett gets Duvall home. He's had a decent series...

[Donder]

Imagine the score if only Duvall and Votto went to bat against Leake

They would almost certainly need ghost runners at some point.

[NebraskaRed]

http://www.nerve.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/uploads/scanner/scooter.jpg

[membengal]

Leake has allowed 10 hits, a walk and a hit batter. WHIP damage for people that have him in fantasy...

[Donder]

Votto with three hits. But they're only singles.

He stinks.

Management needs to remind him to hit more homers.

[CySeymour]

They would almost certainly need ghost runners at some point.

Definitely we could arrange for Billy to run for Votto all time if we could let Votto hit for Hamilton.

[malcontent]

That's why you don't bunt the man with the 0.910 OPS to get to the man with the 0.616 OPS.

[cumberlandreds]

Schebler scores on a bad throw from Molina on a steal attempt by Scooter. 3-0 Redlegs.

[NebraskaRed]

When did the Cardinals become the LolCardinals?

[Tadasimha]

Schadenfreude - i am enjoying watching the cards implode

[cumberlandreds]

Feldman K's to end the Reds 5th.3-0 Reds as we roll along. This winning thing is fun.

[Kingspoint]

Viva SLG! A double from Duvall breaks the cap.

Yep. Duvall says, "No more cake-walking! Need some power to get these runners in."

[androosh]

When did the Cardinals become the LolCardinals?Yadier Lolina

[Tadasimha]

Leake has allowed 10 hits, a walk and a hit batter. WHIP damage for people that have him in fantasy...
When a problem comes along, you must whip it

[NebraskaRed]

Yadier Lolina

Lance O. Lynn

[cumberlandreds]

Thanks, I'm going have that song in my head the rest of the day.

[BCubb2003]

Lance O. Lynn

St. LOLus.

(We're probably jinxing this big time.)

[cumberlandreds]

The Leake has been plugged. Someone named Huffman pinch hitting for the Cards.

[androosh]

St. LOLus.

(We're probably jinxing this big time.)They deserve it. We are not mocking the Cardinals enough.

[cumberlandreds]

Carpenter K's.

[membengal]

I confess to being delighted with the Schebler and Duvall OPS battle as it stands in June. Up to the moment, Duvall at .870 and Shebler at .883. That's just fantastic from those two. So happy with what they have turned into for this team.

[Kingspoint]

When was the last 4-game sweep of the Cardinals?

[cumberlandreds]

Easy inning by Feldman. 3-0 Reds in the 6th.

[membengal]

Also, apparently Feldman owns the Cardinals. Or at least lives in their heads rent free.

[cumberlandreds]

Feldman at 85 pitches. He should be able to go another inning, maybe two.

Reds have outhit the Cards today 10-2.

[NebraskaRed]

Cody Reed with 8 IP 0 runs 2 hits 1 walk and 6 Ks

[cumberlandreds]

Lyons into pitch for the Cards.

[NebraskaRed]

When was the last 4-game sweep of the Cardinals?

2003, I believe

[cumberlandreds]

Cozy with an infield single. 30 straight games on base for Cozy.

VottoMattic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[membengal]

Joey Votto's average and OPS are going up...

[NebraskaRed]

Man, Votto is having a day....ok, a career

[cumberlandreds]

I'm trying not to get too excited because you know Blake Wood is gonna pitch in this game

[cumberlandreds]

Jerko pops out to RF.

[cumberlandreds]

Molina singles. Jenkins to the mound to stall.

[WildcatFan]

Schedule gets TOUGH cover the next 6 weeks:

6 against the Dodgers
7 against the Nationals
6 against the Diamondbacks
4 against the Rockies
3 each against Brewers/Cubs

No real reason to bring that up, but I for one am really interested to see what this team's got. If Homer and Finnegan can return and be somewhat useful in that time...

[cumberlandreds]

6-4-3 yesirreeeeeeeeee Inning over 5-0 Reds

[Kingspoint]

Nice to see a REDS' Starter get over 100 pitches.

[Tom Servo]

Remember all the hate Feldman got for no reason lol

[BluegrassRedleg]

Jerko pops out to RF.

Remember all the hate Feldman got for no reason lolHe's like 34 - or like 167 in pitching years. Obviously enough reason for a riot.

[Kingspoint]

Remember all the hate Feldman got for no reason lol

Crazy to think I'd love to have five Feldman's this season.

[klw]

Management needs to remind him to hit more homers.

they must have spoken to him between innings.

Tough teams, but all have weaknesses - I know this is stupid to say but its all going to depend on the Reds starting pitching.

Good Cody Reed sighting


Reed through 8 giving up 2 hits, 1 walk, 0 runs, and striking out 6. He's at 94 pitches

[cumberlandreds]

Brice into the game. He has some nice numbers although not many games yet.

Diaz doubles to start the Cards 8th.

[cumberlandreds]

DeJong lines out to Duvall in deep LF.

[Tom Servo]

Game day says Brice's first two pitches to Garcia should have been strikes.

[cumberlandreds]

Garcia grounds out to Votto. Two away. Runner to third.

[Wonderful Monds]

Votto now up to .300 batting average to go with an OBP at around .421 and OPS of 1.018.

Is that good?

[TRF]

Just popping in to say outstanding outing from Feldman. I may not like him as a pitcher, but I give him props when he deserves it.

[cumberlandreds]

Carpenter a two run homer to make it 5-2.

Fowler grounds out to end the Cards 8th. 5-2 Reds.

[Kingspoint]

Hope Brice pitches the 9th.

[Kc61]

I am a little concerned by Brice's shrinking strikeout rate.

Lack of regular work.

[cumberlandreds]

[cumberlandreds]

Iglesias into the game to try to close this one out.

[NebraskaRed]

Can they sweep the Cards in a 4-game series for the first time in 14 years?

There might be more things satisfying in life than a four game sweep of the Cardinals, but not many, and I can't think of any right now.

[Big Klu]

Today's Joe Nuxhall Star of the Game is Scott Feldman, who pitched seven shutout innings for the win.
