Dee Gordon havoc again.

[Tom Servo]

Romano strikes out Yelich with Gordon on third and one out, now just gotta get Bour out.

[RedTeamGo!]

Nasty pitch for the K

[Tom Servo]

Sal wins the battle against Bour, getting him swinging a nice low slider. Good job to prevent Gordon from scoring.

[PutPeteIn]

ROMANO!!!

[50YrRedsFan]

Not much of a crowd there today. Mr. Williams, I hope you notice.

[RedTeamGo!]

Watching Votto slump is like watching a lion nurse a broken paw.

[JaxRed]

Not much of a crowd there today. Mr. Williams, I hope you notice.

What should Mr Williams do about that?

We got a line out from Hamilton, a grounder by 3rd for single by Cozart, K looking for Votto, bloop single by Cozart and then lineout to SS by Gennet.

Improve the team.

I don't actually believe it but saying "Ichiro is the real hit king" seems like a perfect way to troll people in Cincinnati lol

[Tom Servo]

Bleh Romano almost gets the double play he needed but just not enough time. Sal's already thrown 40 pitches and the 2nd isn't over yet.


Sal strikes out the pitcher Koehler for his third strikeout to end the inning. Still no runs but it's taken him 43 pitches to get through 2 innings.

[Tom Servo]

Thom decides to start whispering when talking about Pujols' stats for some reasons.

[Tony Cloninger]

Romano looks good so far but like Welsh and Thom were saying, having a change up would help especially trying to get fatter then just 5 innings as these young staters have had a problem doing.

Like Doug said a change up is hard to learn but these Reds pitchers seem to be adverse to learning it or its talking them a long time to do it.

[Tony Cloninger]

Watching Votto slump is like watching a lion nurse a broken paw.

It's been officially 162 games since he started his Ted Williams streak last year. So it's now officially a new season. Votto struggles in April except in 2015 so it's going to be a month before he gets going again. It's science.

Great Ceasers Ghost this website is anal. Posting sometimes is like trying to watch the Reds young starters develop. Brutal.

[Donder]

What should Mr Williams do about that?

Tell the players to win more.

[Tom Servo]

Billy delivers an RBI single and the Reds nonsensically send Barnhart and he's out in a home plate collision.

[BluegrassRedleg]

This rule (and subsequent game delays resulting from it) is ridiculous.

I think they should do away with the rule.

If the baserunner goes out of his way to run over a catcher not in the baseline, then not only is he out, but he's also ejected. But if contact takes place in the baseline (like it did here) then whatever happens, happens.

At game last night and one thing I came away with....Ichiro a rockstar lol. When he came out of dugout to PH there wasn't enough ushers to keep away the videos and pics from fans rushing down to bottom of aisle near dugout.

[Tom Servo]

A 12 pitch inning for Romano which he needed, aided by a great catch in foul territory by Duvall.

[PutPeteIn]

Stanton came in on a homer tear.
The Reds have stifled him.

[BluegrassRedleg]

Duvall with a dandy defensive play in foul ground. Ls are piling up, but give him credit for continuing to play hard.

[Donder]

Not sure if I'm mad a Cozart or glad he's taking precaution to not re-injure his quad...

lol Reds announcers defend Cozart's dogging it (and I agree!) but you know they'd bash any other player else in a heartbeat

You're already defeated? The Narlins have 0 runs which means they have not scored yet. Your letting The Wolf get to you.

Twice Romano got ahead of Bour 0-2 and ended up going full, lot of pitches.

Now you know why.

[Tony Cloninger]

Well they have now. Fat 3-1 pitch because young pitchers do that.

[Tom Servo]

I was going to say you can't walk AJ Ellis with two outs so Romano threw a challenge fastball and Ellis homered. Oops. Now it is a 1-1 game.

[JaxRed]

Didn't the Reds have a minor league catcher named Bour?

[Tony Cloninger]

Romano still has a chance to go 6. He's shown good stuff and yes I would prefer he walk Ellis if he's going to gift one like that.

[Tom Servo]

Pair of strikeouts in a 1-2-3 inning for Romano in the 5th. Outside of the 3-1 pitch to Ellis and some waste pitches to drive up his pitch count he's looked awfully good.

[Tony Cloninger]

Great stuff there to Gordon. Like the no nibbling even if the previous 2 guys would not bite on his breaking pitches which were blah really.

I think he can go another no matter how it plays out next inning. He's just under 90 so that will please the don't let him go over 100 crowd even if it's 105.

[JaxRed]

Sal ERA below 6. Let's see if we can keep it there.

[Kc61]

How long you leave Romano in? One more inning, around 100 pitches?

[JaxRed]

This.

[PutPeteIn]

I'd pinch hit here for Sal. Let him have his feel good moment. Near 90 pitches after 5. Will be top of Marlins order in 6th. He leads off bottom of 5th. No brainer really.

Let him have a chance to win it with no chance to lose it.

[JaxRed]

I might yank him if someone reaches.

[Kc61]

BobSteve admitted after the game he tired in the sixth. Price should have removed him after 5 innings, 90 pitches. Hot night, big spot for the kid, lot of pressure. I thought it was a bad decision that may have cost the game.

But Sal looks confident and strong, no problem with 100 pitches or so. No more, though, IMO.

[Tony Cloninger]

I already outlined it prior to your post. Quit worrying about the 100 pitches unless he starts laboring badly with the first 2 hitters.

Yes because baseball should a happy sport where you never learn how to push yourself past 5 innings as a starter. If that was the 6th I would say yes or go batter by batter.

But he WS not tired going into the 6th. He started getting tired as the inning progressed? I mean if he was tired after th first batter he faced he should have called time and said I'm done. You guys think he went out there tired?

I agree here I think the biggest thing with the young starters is to get as many of them confident going into next season as possible

[Kc61]

I already outlined it prior to your post. Quit worrying about the 100 pitches unless he starts laboring badly with the first 2 hitters.

Would you let him throw 110 or 120 pitches if Sal looks strong?

[Kc61]

I agree here I think the biggest thing with the young starters is to get as many of them confident going into next season as possible

It's a balance. Price likes starters trained to go deep in games. I agree to a point, but the confidence thing is important too. Last night pointed to removal after 5 innings. Today, points to six innings, 100 pitches for Sal IMO.

[Tom Servo]

lol Votto taps one back to the pitcher for a sure double play and the Marlins throw it away

3-1 Redlegs

[Tony Cloninger]

He's made like 3 starts dude, there's gonna be lots of time to "learn how to push yourself past 5 innings as a starter"

Dude? Are you trying to bro down like Broadway Bro Down? As a stated before KC post which everyone seems to be ignoring and only answering him.... I think he can go into the 6th and you go batter by batter. He's not close to 100. Unless he is tired already then he should say I'm done.

[BluegrassRedleg]

What a break. Poor Votto is a hot mess right now.

I'm ok with sending him out of the 6th, but the whole "he needs to learn" thing about rookies has never made any sense to me.

[Tony Cloninger]

Would you let him throw 110 or 120 pitches if Sal looks strong?

No. That I would not. If he was at 94 I would say get him out. But he is less than 90. You can go batter by batter. If he is still good then we will see that within the first 1-2 hitters. He could go through the 6th at maybe 102 if he goes in order. If he starts laboring get him out at 105 or so.

[Tony Cloninger]

What a break. Poor Votto is a hot mess right now.

That was a weak and un Votto bad swing at a bad pitch. You know he is in slump for real when he does that. Then Follow that with Duvall and it's a bit of a mess right now.

Sounds reasonable.

I do think it's good for pitchers to build up their arms and get used to pitching 7 innings, 120 pitches. But not as a rookie, I think 100 to 110 should be the limit.

With Sal having a good game, maybe the first time in MLB, I'd pull him after the sixth.

[lnn6574]

Why? Does he not know the 1/3 out at third base rule? He runs like a T-baller when the last man of the inning bats.

Yes I knew that needs to learn quote would annoy people. I did not mean it in the sense that these guys need to be taught lessons even if it hurts or let them sit out there to get beat up. It's the same confidence issue that you would get from leaving with a good feeling. To give yourself confidence that you can go another inning and closer to what you need to do as a starter, which is at least 6 innings and 100-110 pitches is good for your confidence too. No matter how much the game has changed having starters being able to go 6-7 at 100-110 pitches or less obviously.... Is what your trying to develop.

[BCubb2003]

[Tony Cloninger]

That Feldman thing. I mean it's Feldman. If they knew he was hurting already there is no question you make the call. Not him. That's a tradable asset. Good grief who made that decision without consulting Dick Williams?

[mth123]

Votto just K'd. I pull him now in a double switch. I'd put Kivelhan at 1B hitting 9th and let the new pitcher hit 3rd.

[PutPeteIn]

Feldman will be ours now for the rest o the season.
I say resign him anyway.

Keep Cozy too.

[JaxRed]

Might have been a touch low on the Votto strikeout. But I thought the pitch before that he fouled off looked like the kind of ball Votto would normally punish.

Votto just K'd. I pull him now in a double switch. I'd put Kivelhan at 1B hitting 9th and let the new pitcher hit 3rd.

[PutPeteIn]

Our SP is as good as it's been all year as I type.
Castillo
Bailey
Romano
Adleman

All pitching well and RobSteve nearly had a QS yesterday.

[JaxRed]

I agree. Start stretching him out this year. We're playing exhibition games the rest of the season.

[Tom Servo]

Damn even Thom making the good point that Lorenzen should get to start this year.

I' get the impression from comments he's made that Price is a big roadblock in that. He wants him pitching out of the pen every day not every 5th day.

[PutPeteIn]

Why not? He needs rest, the Reds have a 5 run lead and it puts the pitcher as the last guy up. Why Ha ha?

It's Votto and you don't pull your super star just because he's slumping.

[JaxRed]

One legitimate question that needs to be asked is whether Lorenzen can actually be a starter. Find out this year.

[mth123]

It's Votto and you don't pull your super star just because he's slumping.

Nope. But the game situation sasy its the right move and he does need rest. He's your star, but if you leave it up to him, he'll never sit out.

[Tom Servo]

Lorenzen giving up hits and runs to jabronis

[mth123]

I'm a skeptic about Lorenzen starting and I don't think you can really find out much in 10 starts at the end of a season, but a guy like Adelman is the kind you push into the pen for these types of experiments.

[Tom Servo]

Ugh. 6-3 game.

[mth123]

Ugh. 6-3 game.

Stanton on Deck. It could get tight real quick.

[Tony Cloninger]

When they are sure Herget is ready and maybe another reliever down in the minors then I'm sure they will look for Lorenzen to start. In the meantime Lorenzen is having another mini melt down. Great.

[Tom Servo]

Lorenzen escapes without further damage but Price has Iglesias warming. Guessing he's looking for a two inning save from him. Also guessing Price is feeling some real pressure to get a W.

[Tony Cloninger]

I agree. Why isn't the LH warming up? It's not like he's not been your 2nd best reliever.

[Ron Madden]

I'm not sure moving Lorenzen into the starting rotation is such a good idea.

[WVRedsFan]

Lorenzen giving up hits and runs to jabronis
The one thing that worries me about Lorenzen as a starter is he is off and on. ERA now at 4.09. Maybe the longer outings would change that.

[Tony Cloninger]

It's Votto and you don't pull your super star just because he's slumping.

Price has pulled him several times around these same situations with big leads for rest. He's not sitting him for slumping he's sitting him for rest. Don't give that you don't sit your superstars late in games with big leads BS.

[JaxRed]

When they are sure Herget is ready and maybe another reliever down in the minors then I'm sure they will look for Lorenzen to start. In the meantime Lorenzen is having another mini melt down. Great.

It makes total sense to do it this year. Which is why I expect them to wait till next year.

[Tom Servo]

The one thing that worries me about Lorenzen as a starter is he is off and on. ERA now at 4.09. Maybe the longer outings would change that.
It certainly makes me a little more leery but I think he's got the pitch mix and strong body to start. More than anything I'm just a bit concerned at how he's backslid this year with walks.

[JaxRed]

They should let Gordon eat a sandwich.......

[mth123]

Lorenzen is a likeable guy, good athlete, can hit and run and the way things played out after his dad passed was a special moment, but there isn't mountains of evidence that he's anything all the special as a pitcher. He had a decent half season in the pen, but he's been ho hum this year IMO. If other teams value him the way Redszone does, I'd be shopping him.

It's not that much of a shock Thom that Iglesias is going 2. Price said he was going to do that if the situation called for it.

As hard as he throws he has a straight fastball that even a weak hitter like Rojas could drive on the outside corner. I still like him and like Tom said he is cheap.

What made him alter his swing or is that what happened? I know he cannot be this bad but if you're counting on him just to have his balls fall in then might as well call Norris Hopper.

Loewnzen's ERA dropped to 3.88 because on run was unearned. 2-8 on the homestand. Attendnce at 20,526. Didn't look like tht many were there.

BobSteve admitted after the game he tired in the sixth. Price should have removed him after 5 innings, 90 pitches.
It's Price. "It" happens.

[Big Klu]

On pace for 68-94.

It's Price. "It" happens.

And maybe he started getting tired during the inning. That's also on him for not saying anything if he felt that tired after a few pitches. I'm going to start calling the players out more for stuff like this not just Price.

When it's this hot most fans stay back on the concourse where it's cooler.

The concourse at GABP is a lot bigger than what used to be at Riverfront.

That's why I generally prefer seats down the 1B and RF line. They tend to be in the shade.

We learned that the hard way when GABP first opened. Had seats down LF line for an August game where it was about 98 with 80% humidity. Brutal.

Last year I had seats in the upper deck down the LF line for an early September day game, but they were up far enough that they were just in the shade under the roof. (The row in front of us was in the sun.)
