Awesome. This works out perfectly, my wife and son are out of town for a couple of days. I am going to walk down to the Red Rose and drink by myself and watch the Reds.

You forgot the word 'lose' at the end of the third sentence lol

[RedTeamGo!]

Hahahaha I swear I typed out "get crushed" and then decided to delete it!

[Wolves198921]

Red Rose? Where's that at, and is it a bar dedicated to the Reds?

[Big Klu]

Posting from inside the club at Progressive Field. First game I've been to this year. Will report later.

[RedTeamGo!]

Red Rose? Where's that at, and is it a bar dedicated to the Reds?

It's a hole in the wall within walking distance from my house in Lakewood. No, it has nothing to do with the Reds.

[Reds Fanatic]

Leadoff hit for Hamilton

[Reds Fanatic]

Cozart grounds into a 5-4-3 DP

[Reds Fanatic]

Votto hit that hard but is robbed. 0-0 mid 1st

[Tom Servo]

Votto hit that hard but is robbed. 0-0 mid 1st
Just about his hardest hit ball of the 2nd half.

[Reds Fanatic]

Zimmer just missed a homer high off the wall in center for a double. Would have been long gone in GABP

- - - Updated - - -

Perfect bunt by Lindor. 1st and 3rd

[Tom Servo]

This could be starting off better

[Reds Fanatic]

Brantley with a sac fly to center but a good play by Hamilton to double off Lindor at 1st. That was a perfect throw by Hamilton

[Tom Servo]

That was pretty good.

[Reds Fanatic]

I thought that was gone. Edwin doubles off the wall in left. That looked long gone off the bat

- - - Updated - - -

Safe to say Adelman is not fooling anyone tonight. This is batting practice so far

[Red Raindog]

Great throw by BH to double up runner but --- this pitching effort looks to be short lived by Adleman

[WrongVerb]

Was that Chris? "Uh, oh." LOL

[Reds Fanatic]

Ground out ends the inning. Lucky it is only 1-0 Indians after 1

[50YrRedsFan]

Adleman throwing batting practice.....3 balls smoked.

[Tracy Jones]

Watching this team it's hard to remember that in Major League Baseball the pitcher is supposed to have the inherent advantage over the batter.

[Wolves198921]

They are hitting Adleman hard. Thank goodness for the tall wall or it would be 2-0

[Reds Fanatic]

Suarez folds out to right

[Reds Fanatic]

Gennett flies out

[Reds Fanatic]

Rocco strikes out looking. Quick inning. 1-0 Indians mid 2nd

[PutPeteIn]

This team strikes out a lot looking.

[Raisor]

Suarez folds out to right

Like a dimensional fold?

[50YrRedsFan]

Mesoraco k's looking. Might have been a little high. It would be nice if he would start hitting.

[Wolves198921]

Luckily after Wednesday, I feel like every team through August the reds can actually have a competitive series with. Not saying they will with every team and I only expect to win one or two series in august but at least no more pennant contenders for the rest of the year except Boston.

[Raisor]

Mesoraco k's looking. Might have been a little high. It would be nice if he would start hitting.

768 OPS after two lost seasons.

[Reds Fanatic]

First K for Adleman as Santana strikes out swinging

- - - Updated - - -

Nice running catch by Schebler

[50YrRedsFan]

768 OPS after two lost seasons. Higher than I would have imagined.

[Reds Fanatic]

Nice 1-2-3 inning for Adleman. Looked totally different than the 1st. 1-0 Indians after 2

[Tracy Jones]

The old saying in baseball is if you fail 7 out of 10 times, you'll be in Cooperstown. Against this team, if you fail 7 out of 10 times you should probably look for a new line of work.

[50YrRedsFan]

Much better inning for Adleman

[Tracy Jones]

Much better inning for Adleman

Must have been because of Price's managing

[Reds Fanatic]

Schebler strikes out swinging. Now 2 for 29 since the break

[50YrRedsFan]

Must have been because of Price's managing

I'm not going there.

[Reds Fanatic]

Kivlehan strikes out swinging on 3 pitches

[50YrRedsFan]

Schebler strikes out swinging. Now 2 for 29 since the break

Schebler just having a terrible time at the plate.

[Raisor]

Higher than I would have imagined.

You don't have to imagine it. They post that number in various places.


;)

[Reds Fanatic]

Peraza strikes out swinging. 1-0 Indians mid 3rd

[Wolves198921]

Tomlin looking like an all star

[50YrRedsFan]

Reds looking pretty lame at the plate so far.

[50YrRedsFan]

If we have to see commercials between innings, get some new ones. Mark Wahlberg and Carlos Correa are getting old.

[Reds Fanatic]

2 Ks for Adleman as Perez strikes out

[Reds Fanatic]

Another K as Zimmer strikes out looking

[Reds Fanatic]

Adleman strikes out the side. Lindor strikes out swinging. 1-0 Indians after 3

[PutPeteIn]

Timmy Adleman!!!

[Tom Servo]

lol what did I just watch

[PutPeteIn]

lol what did I just watch

A dissection

[Reds Fanatic]

This is a strikeout fest. Hamilton strikes out swinging

[WrongVerb]

In other news, Tomlin is really good.

[Reds Fanatic]

Cozart strikes out swinging. 6 in a row for Tomlin

[Tom Servo]

These pitchers aren't good! Everyone stop striking out.

[Reds Fanatic]

Votto walks

[Tracy Jones]

Someone should remind the Reds lineup that Josh Tomlin is really lousy.

[Reds Fanatic]

Someone actually hit the ball. Suarez lines out to left. 1-0 Indians mid 4th

[Tracy Jones]

This has the earmarks of a mail it in game for both squads.

[Wolves198921]

Why can't we have a pitcher like Tomlin? I mean he is an all star. Just look at his numbers..... oh wait they are sub par.

[50YrRedsFan]

Reds with 1 hit through 4....can't win with that.

[Reds Fanatic]

Brantley flies out to center

[Reds Fanatic]

Edwin pops out to short

- - - Updated - - -

Ramirez grounds out to 3rd. Another 1-2-3 inning. 1-0 Indians after 4

[Tracy Jones]

When E-5 makes an out, a child smiles

[PutPeteIn]

Adleman thru 4 on just 56 pitches.

[50YrRedsFan]

I saw one of the Indians' mascots at the last break...what a weiner.:D

[Reds Fanatic]

Scooter homers to right center. Tie game. 1-1

[Tracy Jones]

Someone took my advice and reminded the Reds lineup that Tomlin is lousy.

Must have been Price. What quality managing!

Off topic alert --- I'm working on my man cave (while watching the game and laughing at Scooter going deep in a park not called GABP) --- you can tell something about my musical / visual taste ---

What Scooter is doing to right handers this season is just incomprehensible to me.

.279/.310/.403 in 2015.
.264/.313/.420 in 2016.

.339/.392/.656 going into tonight and now another HR.

Perez doubles off the wall. 2-1 Indians 2nd and 3rd

Perez smokes one off the wall

Good play by BH to stop the third run from scoring there

Those of you who want to move on from Billy, you have to ask yourself how bad this team and pitching staff would be without him in CF.

[Reds Fanatic]

Zimmer sac fly to left. 3-1 Indians

[DocRed]

I'll be glad when Adlemann is no longer a Red. Guys is a roller coaster ride...

[Wolves198921]

Yeah I say that's all she wrote. I think the Reds will take one game this weekend but that will be it for July.

[Tracy Jones]

I'm shocked that Adelman didn't just keep mowing this Indians lineup down. Shocked I tell you!

[Red Raindog]

Those of you who want to move on from Billy, you have to ask yourself how bad this team and pitching staff would be without him in CF.

Probably still the worst in baseball -- but your point has merit

[Tony Cloninger]

You walk the bottom of the lineup and then can't put away the #9 hitter. Learn a change up and maybe you can survive Adleman.

[Kc61]

Those of you who want to move on from Billy, you have to ask yourself how bad this team and pitching staff would be without him in CF.

I doubt the Reds will let him go very soon. Adds value wi th defense and base running.

I'm guessing the Reds will extend Hamilton as long as he's healthy and doesn't demand too much.

[50YrRedsFan]

Adleman is burnt toast.

[Tracy Jones]

Help is on the way. Blake Wood warming up.

[50YrRedsFan]

With their current pitching plight I don't think they have much of a choice.

Yay


I can't tell the difference. And Peraza and that defensive swing. What the hell is that?

[Reds Fanatic]

Cozart homers to left! 3-2 Indians

[Tony Cloninger]

The same pitch he just hung to Cozart is what he threw to Peraza. I'm sorry but Peraza is Juan Castro. What a mirage last year was.

[Reds Fanatic]

Votto singles to right to end an 0 for 16 slump

[50YrRedsFan]

Down only 1 now. Coooooooooozart

[Reds Fanatic]

Suarez flies out to right. 3-2 Indians mid 6th

[Tracy Jones]

Too early for that. Maybe this year is the mirage.

That being said, as of right now July 24 2017, he's awful.

[BluegrassRedleg]

Cozart keeps raking. Bashes hanging curve out to LF for HR.

- - - Updated - - -

I don't really want to move on from him. I'd like to see them build around his defense in CF and have a lineup where he can hit 8th or 9th.

Oops. Just realized I went back to watch something and never re-established my live feed on DVR. :p

Hitting 8th in front of the pitcher negates his base stealing. He's either a 1 hole or a 9 hole hitter. Likely 9th in a really good lineup.

[Reds Fanatic]

Ramirez flies out to right. 3-2 Indians after 6

[Tony Cloninger]

Too early for that. Maybe this year is the mirage.

That being said, as of right now July 24 2017, he's awful.

They are stuck with him and Davey C was worse in 1971-72. There of course is time for improvement but it's like Reed with his pitching. Some sort of adjustment to his hitting technique needs to be done. Is he afraid to drive the ball? I saw him turn on a pitch in Colorado so it's not like he cannot do it.

[50YrRedsFan]

Adleman was done last inning. But Price leaves him in. :bang:

[PutPeteIn]

Timmy I did not know you could do it like dat!

[Reds Fanatic]

Andrew Miller in for the 7th

[50YrRedsFan]

Adleman makes it thru the 6th. Lucky (for Price).

[Reds Fanatic]

Scooter fouls out to 3rd

[Tony Cloninger]

Adleman was done last inning. But Price leaves him in. :bang:

I don't think he was done at barely 70 pitches. I think his control was off sure but these guys need to give them 6 at least. At this point winning has ceased to be a priority.

[Reds Fanatic]

Rocco bloop hit to right

[50YrRedsFan]

Miller with 70 k's in 43 innings....wow

[Tracy Jones]

Adleman makes it thru the 6th. Lucky (for Price).

If the alternative is Blake Wood, I'd have taken my chances with Adelman too.

[Reds Fanatic]

Schebler flies out to left

[50YrRedsFan]

Rocco bloop hit to right

He blistered that one.

[Reds Fanatic]

Kivelehan flies out to left 3-2 Indians mid 7th

[50YrRedsFan]

If the alternative is Blake Wood, I'd have taken my chances with Adelman too.

I would too.

[PutPeteIn]

Schebler flies out to left

Schebler is an out machine.

[Tracy Jones]

You look at the current Reds pitching staff top to bottom and how many of them would be guaranteed a major league roster spot on all the other 29 teams? I see one. That's where we are.

[Reds Fanatic]

Adleman back out for the 7th and Santana homers to right

[Tony Cloninger]

Ok now I'm surprised he is back out there again. He's at 98. He's gone as far as he can really.

[Raisor]

Schebler is an out machine.

You do understand that even good players slump, right?

[reds44]

Sending a below average pitcher with 100 pitches out for the 7th seems like a good idea.


Uhhh errrrrrr

[DocRed]

Price...the master of leaving starters in too long

[Ironman92]

Bringing Adelman out for the 7th...didn't feel right at all

[Reds Fanatic]

Urshela walks. Finally Price as usual too late comes out for the change

[DocRed]

Price is fighting for his job...

[Wolves198921]

Price isn't a baseball coach. I think he doesn't even give damn anymore, seasons over anyway.

[PutPeteIn]

Should have sent Wandy out there to begin with.

[Tracy Jones]

Price isn't a baseball coach. I think he doesn't even give damn anymore, seasons over anyway.

Hes not? How'd he get that uniform?

[Norse1978]

These decisions leaving your starting pitching like that too long is why Price needs to go. I understood the talent is bad bad but he lacks baseball common sense

[Reds Fanatic]

Blake Wood in

Almonte lines a single to center

[Tracy Jones]

Yeah, because Blake Wood was a far better option.

[Raisor]

These decisions leaving your starting pitching like that too long is why Price needs to go. I understood the talent is bad bad but he lacks baseball common sense

Or he's trying to save the bullpen because they are in a long stretch of games with one day off in the next month and who cares if Adleman's arm falls off?

[Tom Servo]

Yeah, because Blake Wood was a far better option.
Damn, sucks that Blake Wood made Price put him in the game.

[RedTeamGo!]

I have to agree, Price is supposed to be a pitching guru and sucks at managing pitchers. It should be the reason he is fired, but he's still here for some reason.

[chuck6660]

Schebler fouls out
Kivlehan grounds out. 1-1 mid 5th

Good thing they sent Winker back to AAA!

[Tony Cloninger]

Peralta was the best option. He did not pitch yesterday. Did not even warm up even with LH coming up.

[Tracy Jones]

Damn, sucks that Blake Wood made Price put him in the game.

Damn. Sucks that Price made Adelman give up a homer and a walk.

[Reds Fanatic]

Perez walks. Wood is going to put this game out of reach soon

[Raisor]

Damn, sucks that Blake Wood made Price put him in the game.

If Wood shouldn't be used why does Williams keep him on the roster?

[malcontent]

At this point in time, would anyone shed tears if Riggleman finished the year?

Or is there a fear that he would have some unexpected success and be extended?

[Tony Cloninger]

Good thing they sent Winker back to AAA!

Winker would not be hitting against Miller. But yes I wish he was up here over Turner.

[reds44]

If Wood shouldn't be used why does Williams keep him on the roster?

Not this again. Wood is this years version of Hoover.

[BluegrassRedleg]

We've got Wood. (Unfortunately)

[Reds Fanatic]

Zimmer singles in a run. 5-2 Indians. Bases still loaded.

[RedTeamGo!]

If Wood shouldn't be used why does Williams keep him on the roster?

Peralta was the better option there.

For the life of me I cannot figure out why people defend Price. He is a horrible baseball manager and we have years of evidencd proving it. He makes bonehead move after bonehead move.

[Tracy Jones]

If Wood shouldn't be used why does Williams keep him on the roster?

Wood should only be used in situations where he doesn't give up runs.

Duh.

[The Operator]

Blake Wood

[Norse1978]

If Wood shouldn't be used why does Williams keep him on the roster?
That makes me question why Williams keeps Blake around

[Tony Cloninger]

If Wood shouldn't be used why does Williams keep him on the roster?

I agree. There are better options than him unlike the starters.

[Raisor]

Not this again. Wood is this years version of Hoover.

If they release him tomorrow, fine. If he should never pitch he shouldn't be on the roster

[reds44]

Peralta was the better option there.

For the life of me I cannot figure out why people defend Price. He is a horrible baseball manager and we have years of evidencd proving it. He makes bonehead move after bonehead move.
It's because people don't watch and just fall back on the "there's no talent" argument.

[Reds Fanatic]

Lindor strikes out swinging

[PutPeteIn]

Cleveland is a horrible matchup up for the Reds. Lefty after lefty after lefty....

[Reds Fanatic]

Brantley strikes out swinging

[Raisor]

At this point in time, would anyone shed tears if Riggleman finished the year?

Or is there a fear that he would have some unexpected success and be extended?

Highly doubtful Riggleman will accept another interim gig. Remember when he quit at Washington? It would be DeShields or Larkin. Larkin probably wouldn't do an interim gig either.

[Reds Fanatic]

Edwin with a soft line out to 2nd. 5-2 Indians after 7

[Tony Cloninger]

I was hoping for a continued implosion just so we'll never mind. The people in charge don't need to see more than thay already have with Wood. Y

[PutPeteIn]

Miracle

[DocRed]

Yeah, because Blake Wood was a far better option.

Hell yes

[Raisor]

That makes me question why Williams keeps Blake around

It's the same reason Adleman is on the team. To obsorb innings.

[Tom Servo]

Drew Storen didn't pitch Saturday or Sunday. But it's not fair to criticize Price for using Blake Wood here. Okay.

[Tracy Jones]

Peralta was the better option there.

For the life of me I cannot figure out why people defend Price. He is a horrible baseball manager and we have years of evidencd proving it. He makes bonehead move after bonehead move.

I should take the Doug approach when a lay person questions a doctor and ask how many Major League Baseball teams have you managed?

But I won't, because it's a chicken move.

However, I find it both puzzling and annoying that the same people want to blame the manager every single time a pitcher gives up a run past the 5th inning. It's either the starter was left in too long or the wrong guy was brought in. It's silly.

[Mutaman]

Query: For those of u who watch regularly- Are they giving 100% or are they starting to pack it in?

[bleedsred]

Maybe people defend Price due his moves being overshadowed by pathetic starting pitching.....next season....IF AND I SAY IF.....Bailey, Disco, Castillo, Big Sal, and another right this disaster then people will be able to have a clearer vision of BP's moves....

Wood seemed to work this time after a few walks....guy has the stuff obviously....but he just never seems to walk in and shut the door.

[reds44]

Query: For those of u who watch regularly- Are they giving 100% or are they starting to pack it in?

They've been getting their asses handed them nearly every night since the break.

[Reds Fanatic]

Peraza grounds out to 2nd

[Tracy Jones]

It's because people don't watch and just fall back on the "there's no talent" argument.

Of course. Everyone knows managers make baseball teams win. Talent is overrated.

[Tom Servo]

Maybe people defend Price due his moves being overshadowed by pathetic starting pitching.....next season....IF AND I SAY IF.....Bailey, Disco, Castillo, Big Sal, and another right this disaster then people will be able to have a clearer vision of BP's moves....

Yeah, no. We finally give Bryan Price a bunch of talent and guess what? We find out he's still not a good manager. Oops!

[Reds Fanatic]

Hamilton strikes out swinging

[Raisor]

Drew Storen didn't pitch Saturday or Sunday. But it's not fair to criticize Price for using Blake Wood here. Okay.

I don't care if it's Wood or Storan pitching.

I also don't care if Adleman pitches into the 7th.

None of those three guys matter.

[mhs95_06]

Reds are so short on good pitchers, they cannot afford to use a "good" one when they are behind. Good ones are held back for when they have a lead and a better chance at a win, unless the "good" ones haven't pitched in a while and need work. I think Price does well at when to play what pitcher, with what he has to work with.

[reds44]

Seems like a good time to remind you Billy Hamilton and his .299 career OBP has leadoff (i believe) every game he's started this year.

I don't care if it's Wood or Storan pitching.

huh?

So what are we supposed to base Price's moves off then?

[Mutaman]

They've been getting their asses handed them nearly every night since the break.

I know that from just reading the paper. In fact we could have predicted it based on Bryan's post AS game record. But is there lack of effort?

[Raisor]

They've been getting their asses handed them nearly every night since the break.

If guys aren't trying you should go ahead and name names

[Tracy Jones]

Hell yes

He's never a good option.

[chuck6660]

Hes not? How'd he get that uniform?

The Reds FO didn't want to spend $$$ on a manager who was going to end up demoralized by managing a bad team! They will hire a legit Manager as the rebuild starts to show results and the Reds are competitive. Besides he already had a uniform: beerme:

[Reds Fanatic]

Cozart strikes out swinging. 5-2 Indians mid 8th

[Kc61]

Price had three innings to cover. He likely doesn't have his big two, Lorenzen and Iglesias.

I didn't like the Wood move there, I would have used Cingrani or Storen. Saved Peralta just in case game got close.

But I wouldn't call it egregious, down two runs, three innings to go. Wasn't like Wood came into a tie game or a one-run lead.

[reds44]

If guys aren't trying you should go ahead and name names

Short of guys blatantly not hustling, how can you tell who is playing hard or not?

I legit can't think of a time where i've EVER watched the Reds and been like, "wow, they look like they're not trying."

It's baseball. It's not an effort sport.

[DocRed]

MLB umps are so bad its not even funny....replace their fat asses already

[Tony Cloninger]

It just doesn't matter! It just doesn't matter! It just doesn't matter! Meatballs!

[Norse1978]

I don't care if it's Wood or Storan pitching.

I also don't care if Adleman pitches into the 7th.

None of those three guys matter.
This I agree with the three guys you named and Price won't be in Cincinnati next year anyway so it's all a moot point.

[Reds Fanatic]

Cingrani in for the 8th

[BluegrassRedleg]

If you're expecting the Reds to spend big on a manager, I think you'll be disappointed. I won't, because I don't think they should. It's wasted money.

[WrongVerb]

Someone with better skills than I have should make a "FAIL" gif out of Cingrani falling down there.

[Kc61]

I wouldn't be shocked if Dick Williams instructed Price to use Wood, Cingrani, and Storen tonight.

For trade showcasing purposes.

Those are the three relievers I assume Reds want to trade at the deadline. Scouts may want to see them pitch.

That may be an answer in this instance.

[Reds Fanatic]

Santana homers again. 6-2 Indians

[Wonderful Monds]

Cingrani is the pits, man

Cingrani is worthless at this point...better to cut him

[reds44]

Cingrani is doing the opposite of Bruce did at the deadline last year lol

[BluegrassRedleg]

Cingrani looked like he was really getting into a groove about 3-4 weeks ago. He's a mess again.

[WrongVerb]

I wouldn't be shocked if Dick Williams instructed Price to use Wood, Cingrani, and Storen tonight.

For trade showcasing purposes.

Those are the three relievers I assume Reds want to trade at the deadline. Scouts may want to see them pitch.

That may be an answer in this instance.

Well, I can't imagine too many scouts liking what they're seeing. Cingrani has given up HRs in, what, 3 straight appearances now?

[Tracy Jones]

Cingrani should have come in instead of Wood. Definitely. What was Price thinking?

Unfortunately they are not making much of an impression to get traded

[Ironman92]

Query: For those of u who watch regularly- Are they giving 100% or are they starting to pack it in?

Not seeing the packing it in....most have too much to play for anyways

[Ironman92]

Reds are so short on good pitchers, they cannot afford to use a "good" one when they are behind. Good ones are held back for when they have a lead and a better chance at a win, unless the "good" ones haven't pitched in a while and need work. I think Price does well at when to play what pitcher, with what he has to work with.

Welcome over!

[Wonderful Monds]

Fire Price and his puny chicken brains, hire a real manager with a normal adult human sized brain.

[Norse1978]

Price thinking now that's funny

[Kc61]

Agreed, but scouts want to see these guys for better or worse.

[WrongVerb]

Same here. Still seeing them go all out on each play. It's just the starting pitching has sucked all year (though showing signs of maybe getting better), and that's had an effect on the bullpen which is now showing signs of wearing down. The hitting and fielding are pretty much where they've been all year.

[Norse1978]

Why does it seem like it always for worse :)

[Reds Fanatic]

Cody Allen in

Votto hit by the pitch

[Tracy Jones]

Because that's what happens when your players stink.

[Reds Fanatic]

Suarez strikes out looking

[The Operator]

LOL strike 3 on Suarez

Crap call

[DocRed]

Suarez strikes out looking

on a ball...not surpising. MLB umpires are terrible

[Kc61]

In 2013 Cingrani was my favorite Red. He came up from AAA and was almost dominant. I've always rooted for him.

No offense to Tony, I hope he can re-establish himself somewhere.

But it's really been long enough, time for him to try another team.

[Norse1978]

Totally and then Welsh says it's to take. What a clown

[Reds Fanatic]

Scooter grounds into a 4-6-3 DP. Reds lose 6-2

[BluegrassRedleg]

Ugh. That was a stinker.

Me too. He was awesome when he came up. Ever since his injury in 2014, he's been bad. Don't really believe a change of scenery will help. He just lost whatever he had.

[Rantly]

Drew Storen didn't pitch Saturday or Sunday. But it's not fair to criticize Price for using Blake Wood here. Okay.

But it's just another rebuilding year Tom so who really cares who he brings in in a close game 😉

[Norse1978]

I totally agree with this

[RedTeamGo!]

I should take the Doug approach when a lay person questions a doctor and ask how many Major League Baseball teams have you managed?

But I won't, because it's a chicken move.

However, I find it both puzzling and annoying that the same people want to blame the manager every single time a pitcher gives up a run past the 5th inning. It's either the starter was left in too long or the wrong guy was brought in. It's silly.

You know I am not one of those people.

[Tracy Jones]

You know I am not one of those people.

I know. I just get frustrated with the same stuff night after night.

[Rantly]

I don't care if it's Wood or Storan pitching.

I also don't care if Adleman pitches into the 7th.

None of those three guys matter.
But don't you enjoy watching them win a game once in awhile? I get it, it's a "rebuilding" year, but to me when I sit down to watch my favorite team of 40 years I still like them to try to put their best pitchers out there to try to win a close game regardless if the current players are part of our future or not.

[mhs95_06]

Reds have 3 pitchers that try to throw as hard as they can all the time, and I don't think any of them will amount to much and will probably be hurt a lot, and I think you lose a lot of command when you go all out on every pitch. They are Cingrani, Wood, and Finnegan. I like "easy 98 gas" Castillo.

They could release all three tonight and I wouldn't care.

It's a lost season. The rebuild is all I care about. The day to day crap doesn't bother me. It really doesn't. Especially for guys that don't matter to the future.

I care about how the guys that are going to be around next year and beyond are doing.

[RedTeamGo!]

Well. At least I got drunk.

[chuck6660]

Oh well...Reds loose another game; but hey we are rebuilding and should be competitive by 2020!

[Wonderful Monds]

Well. At least I got drunk.

That's what it's gonna say on my grave when I kick it.

I agree. It's not like Price's cup runneth over with options. Hernandez was sent down yesterday. Lorenzen and Iggy pitched a lot over the weekend.

I don't care if Price is brought back next yr but the biggest problem are his options rather than his decisions.

Fair enough, I guess that's where we differ, when I wake up the next morning after a Reds win, I feel good about it, lost season or not.

Well, just got home. Overall I had a good time. (I was there with friends who are Tribe fans.) It was a very pleasant evening, the food in the club was quite good (actually better than I expected), and I had great seats.

Also, this team isn't very good. I never got the feeling that they gave up, but I got the feeling from the first pitch that they were overmatched.

My friends thought it was funny that the Reds had a DH named "Scooter", then they saw his stats when he came up and said, "Wow!" Then they saw him hit a home run and were very impressed.

[Big Klu]

Tonight's Joe Nuxhall Star of the Game is Indians 1B Carlos Santana, who was 2-for-3 with a pair of solo HR's (one from each side of the plate) and a BB, and 3 runs scored.

Overmatched perhaps, but we did manage to split with 'em this year

The Reds club in May hadn't yet fallen off the edge of the earth, and the Tribe in May hadn't yet found themselves.
