[malcontent]

Wondering why Duvall is sitting against the lefty (Wood)?

Still, I think that lineup may get to Wood, who's just back from the DL.

I'm guessing Rocco, Schebler and Kivlehan have good nights.

[Tom Servo]

Where's Duvall against the lefty (Wood)?
He's sick.

[Red Raindog]

He's sick.

I may get sick too -- along with any pitcher expecting the normal Reds outfield defense

[Wolves198921]

Hamilton hasn't been hitting well lately so our offense should be fine, could use Duvall though. Defensively not having Hamilton hurts, these are still major leaguers so I expect them to catch fly balls regardless.

[Tony Cloninger]

How sick is Duvall? I mean legionaries disease sick? Bad Kafilta fish? He should have had the lasagna.

[PutPeteIn]

How sick is Duvall? I mean legionaries disease sick? Bad Kafilta fish? He should have had the lasagna.

I wonder if it's his diabetes acting up?
He has to take insulin shots daily I believe.

[Reds Fanatic]

They said he has been sick for a few days before the trip and then got worse on the plane. I know flying cross country is pretty miserable when you are sick

[Tony Cloninger]

Good point. I forgot about that. That is a tough disease to deal with. Ron Santo did it very well and missed very few games in his prime.

[Reds Fanatic]

2 quick outs as Cozart strikes out looking

An 8 pitch inning. 0-0 mid 1st

[logantrky]

Didn't know Duvall had diabetes. Hope he gets better soon.

Welp.

[Reds Fanatic]

Seager lines a double over Gennett in left. 1-0 Dodgers. The outfield defense tonight already catches up to them

I love Scooter but he's not the greatest OF'er

[Tom Servo]

I told you having actual outfielders is essential but noooo

[Reds Fanatic]

Taylor flies out to center. Runner to 3rd

[OnBaseMachine]

Two outfielders playing out of position and another iffy defender in RF.

[The Operator]

This is literally the last OF defense configuration I would want in a big outfield like Dodger Stadium, or really any stadium.

[Tony Cloninger]

Scooter looked like me in college trying to learn to read FB after playing 3B SS 2B only since I was 10.

Good grief WTF??

[Reds Fanatic]

Wow this is going to be an adventure tonight. Sac fly to center and Schebler and Kivelhan almost ran into each other. Amazing he caught the ball

[logantrky]

OF is scary.

Schebler can go all MLB in RF but playing CF he thought he was Hamilton on that play. That was the RF ball.

[Tom Servo]

Bellinger is good.

[The Operator]

That was one awful pitch.

[Big Klu]

I might have gone with an OF alignment of Kivlehan, Alcantara, and Schebler tonight.

[Red Raindog]

I have a golf tournament tomorrow -- I should be well rested it appears

[The Operator]

I've never liked Grandal. He has a bad case of punchable face syndrome.

[Reds Fanatic]

Grandal flies out to right. 3-0 Dodgers after 1

[757690]

My guess is that the Reds outfield defense won't have an effect on who wins this game tonight.

[Tom Servo]

So that could have gone better.

[PutPeteIn]

Wojo forgot his mojo.

[Banshee]

That was one awful pitch.

You'd think that the coaches/catcher would impress on even the hardest headed pitchers the importance of pitches going AWAY from a guy instead of into their power zones. The location is a mistake, the choice in inexcusable.

[Reds Fanatic]

As good as Wood has been this year they already in a huge hole tonight

[Tony Cloninger]

My guess is that the Reds outfield defense won't have an effect on who wins this game tonight.

Yes. Eye Chart not exactly fooling anyone either.

I think I'd have gone with Peraza in center, Scooter at 2B, Kivlehan in LF, Schebler in RF.

I like that a lot, but the Reds seem committed to not playing Peraza in the OF this year.

[PutPeteIn]

This game may be biggest mismatch of season.
Lefty Wood era under 2.
Wojo should be in AAA.
In LA.
LA is very good.
Reds better hitters are lefty minus Cozart, Suarez and Duvall and Duvall is out.
Hamilton getting the night off.

This one could get very ugly.

[Reds Fanatic]

Forsythe singles to center

[OnBaseMachine]

Alex Wood is doing what Cody Reed could if he figures out his mechanics and regains confidence.

[The Operator]

I like that a lot, but the Reds seem committed to not playing Peraza in the OF this year.

I've noticed that, and I don't get it. He's at least a serviceable center fielder, definitely better than Schebler. And that way Scooter and Schebler are both in their natural positions.


Oh well, having everybody out of position at least makes for interesting baseball. #BryanPrice

Umm, why not get the out at 2B there? Puig wasn't busting it by any means. Wojo never looked.

You can stop being a S.A.

Utley pops out. 3-0 Dodgers after 2

[The Operator]

I feel like The Reds owe Utley a for real HBP from whoever their hardest thrower is as payback from that phantom garbage during the 2010 NLDS

[Reds Fanatic]

Scooter just missed a HR there. Double off the wall

I was an assistant high school baseball coach for seven years, from 1999 to 2005. Our head coach had a saying: "If you play someone out of position, the ball will surely find him."

Ah okay, that's good. I just always like to remind people of that.

The widespread outages, companies almost always know about. But single home outages or an outage just to one neighborhood, unless the company has implemented smart metering and uses it for outage tracking, they probably won't know until they get the phone call.

[The Operator]

Votto singles opposite the shift

[Big Klu]

Cowboy gets it.

He said, "If Votto continues to maintain this level of RBI production (of course, you need runners on base to do that)..."

[Reds Fanatic]

Now that is how you beat a shift. Votto singles to left. If the 3rd baseman was in normal position an easy ground out

[The Operator]

Jim Day just openly questioned why Votto is so under appreciated in Cincy.

Hey Jim, I know!

You know what was nice? I watched the Louiville-Kentucky regional game today, and their announcers were way more informative than any of the Reds' announcers. They talked about strategy and all sorts of interesting aspects of the actual game. And strangely, not a single conversation with a bird.

Should have been the inning but a tough hop leads to an error on Cozart

[Roy Tucker]

Got to watch some of the game tonight with my wife's uncle Bob Borkowski (ex-Red, ex-Dodger in the'50's). He had a stroke a couple months ago so at the age of 91, he isn't as sharp as he used to.

But still great talking to him. Not often you get to see a ballgame with someone that roomed with Sandy Koufax and knew all the '55 Dodgers. Great time.

Yet one of the best defensive outfielders on the planet was still parked on the bench. So whose fault is that?

Of course, Billy would not have been in LF. But having Billy in the game would strengthen both corners, as Schebler would move to his more familiar RF and Kivlehan would be an upgrade in LF. Additionally, both corners could shade toward the lines, as Billy can cover the ground in the alleys.

[Ron Madden]

Ahh ya win some and lose some.
I'm hoping we win this afternoons game. ;)

[Kingspoint]

Hamilton would have to be hurt for me not to play him in Center every game of his career at Dodger Stadium. And, I certainly would never put a 2nd Baseman in that Outfield.

[Kingspoint]

Just finished watching it. Thank goodness the recording ended at 8-1/2 innings.

[Ironman92]

Lefty bat hitting a tailing liner to LF? An incredibly difficult play for Scooter who gave it everything. Not convinced 5 LF in MLB make that play as Scooter was way closer to LF line than expected as ball was pitched. Love to see the StatCast first step and catch probability. I think Duvall makes that play 1/2 of the time.

[Wheelhouse]

Word on the street is that Seager is pretty good. Not a bad pitch by Cingrani, just got beat, one 1/2 step more and it's an out.

I don't agree. Cingrani grooved one right down the middle to Seager. Not a good pitch. Was not locating his pitches where Mes was framing.

[kaldaniels]

Blue dot is the Seager hit. It's in the outer third of the zone. If you want to argue around the margins I suppose you can but it was not grooved down the middle.

I'd have to say batter cause the pitch was on the outer half.

I mean sure but I was just using that as a reference to answer the perspective question Blu Klu posed. It was not a critique or analysis of the pitch location.
