Wow, that was a quick exit for Winker as the Starting RFer.

[JaxRed]

Wow, that was a quick exit for Winker as the Starting RFer.

Facing a lefty. Hitting .100 against lefties.

[Tom Servo]

Hitting .100 against lefties.
10 at bats

[redsfan1995]

Inexcusable that Peraza isn't playing tonight over Scooter.

[Wonderful Monds]

Price is an idiot.

[RedTeamGo!]

Facing a lefty. Hitting .100 against lefties.

Winker has a .370 obp against LHPs the last two seasons in the minors. I think that stat is more relevant.

Bryan Price has GOT to GO....HEY hey... HO ho!

[Tom Servo]

Single, flyout, double, single

2-0 Baby Bears

[Rantly]

Facing a lefty. Hitting .100 against lefties.

Seriously? Like Tom mentioned 10 ABs...nm, probably satirical

[Tom Servo]

Schwarber the whiff machine.

[Tom Servo]

2-0 Cubs after 1, Reds gotta get to work.

[Chip R]

Single, flyout, double, single

2-0 Baby Bears

Bad pitch by Wojo. Rocco called for it inside and Wojo had it go outside and Rizzo hit it to LF.

[Tom Servo]

Another walk for Suarez.

Scooter bloop single and Rocco HBP to load the bases for Kivlehan.

[Tom Servo]

Kivlehan tapper back to the mound and the Cubs muff it, 2-1 game.

Not watching or listening, what happened to Devin?

You going to any of these games, Servo?
Think I might go tomorrow to see Castillo.

Not the worst idea in the world. Make Schwarber field and throw the ball. He's not exactly a Gold Glover out there. I could quibble with having Tucker pinch run for Rocco. May want to use one of the starting pitchers in that situation.

[Tom Servo]

Votto taps one back to the mound on a full count with the bases drunk to end the inning.

[Norse1978]

Cubs lucky to only give up two that inning

[Raisor]

Votto taps one back to the mound on a full count with the bases drunk to end the inning.

Reds44 is a base?

[Tom Servo]

Clean 2nd inning for Wojo

[marcshoe]

If Darwin is doing such a good job developing pitchers in AA, then he should be the Reds' new manager. Nothing could possibly go wrong with that kind of logic.

[Tony Cloninger]

Billy ties it up

Are you kidding me Billy Hatcher? Barnhart thrown out by a mile

I blame Price. He telepathically tells his 3rd base coaches to let slow runners try and score. Like Scanners!

[The Operator]

Man that looked good off the bat from a Geno and just died in the outfield

[The Operator]

Duvall caught stealing


That was one awkward slide. What the?

[Wonderful Monds]

Why on earth would you steal there?

[reds44]

Nothing like running into multiple outs against a pitcher who can't throw strikes

[Raisor]

Why on earth would you steal there?

He didn't

Don't worry, we've got 'em right where we want 'em.

Wojo takes care of Bryant on strikes. Doesn't get any easier though, Rizzo up with runners on the corners.

Rizzo infield popup. One more to go.

Oh Wojo

I know Sschwarber is the boogy man but they just pitched him way more carefully than Bryant and Rizzo both

I still like him as a potential BOR arm for the reasons you said. Cubs have some pretty good bats.

I would love it if Wojo could be a starter but man, he looked so good out of the bullpen.

Don't be hard on yourself I still think Wojo would be good in the Sam lecure role.

If we had 4 other decent starters I'd agree, but we don't.

[The Operator]

Why is FSO showing video of the jack wagons in the Cub bullpen?

You're reinforcing their idiocy by acknowledging it.

[The Operator]

If we had 4 other decent starters I'd agree, but we don't.

Yea, I know.


This might not be a problem if every pitcher not named Luis Castillo had the reputation of "probably better suited for the bullpen" after arriving in the big leagues.

[BluegrassRedleg]

Jamaal Magloire should come out of the dugout and put him in the Boston Crab after an inning like that.

[Norse1978]

If we had 4 other decent starters I'd agree, but we don't.
I guess the question becomes is a decent starter?

I know there's the whole l "if you don't want them to do it, don't give up the home runs" angle, but man, that just seems a little much for a Major League Baseball team.

3 infielders and 4 outfielders against Joey

Joe Maddon lol

[Tom Servo]

w0w good work Joe

[Big Klu]

Votto doubles.

Maybe the Cubs should have used a fifth outfielder.

[The Operator]

Joe Maddon better be glad that Francona out-bungled him in Game 7 last year.

Otherwise the Chicago natives probably wouldn't think his idiotic tinkering with things is so cute.

[Big Klu]

Yes, you can set your watch to it. Every night at 10 p.m.

[WVRedsFan]

The last 30 days, the Reds are 10-20 or .333. If they continue at this pace they will finish 64-98 or .395. That's bad.

[The Operator]

Scooter put together a heck of an AB but flies out. That should be it for Quintana at 105 pitches.


I still hate getting Barnhart thrown out earlier. The bases are loaded and Quintana was laboring, the only batter he even retired in the inning to that point was Wojo. So what do we do? Send your absolute slowest player home and get him thrown out by a mile for the second out.

[Tom Servo]

Even with the Reds poor rotation Quintana doesn't look like a guy the Reds should have unloaded the farm for.

[The Operator]

The last 30 days, the Reds are 10-20 or .333. If they continue at this pace they will finish 64-98 or .395. That's bad.
Not if you're hoping for another top five pick.

I'm sure that's on their "To Do" list this season.

[WVRedsFan]

Great judgment.

BTW, at 10:00, the board stopped again. What the Heck?

Maybe he's staying in the game to play shortstop and further prove Joe Maddon's genius.

The over-reaction by Cubs fans every time they make contact with the ball is nauseating. Bunch of goobers.

[Big Klu]

Of course they are going to overturn that call. There was no convincing evidence, but it's Kyle Schwarber and the Cubs.

[BluegrassRedleg]

That is utterly unbelievable, and it's happened repeatedly to the Reds this season with MLB review.

Schwarber claimed he was hit by a pitch, but the umpire ruled no HBP. The replay did not show enough evidence one way or the other, but the folks in New York awarded Schwarber first base.

I got curious and walked back out to the living room to rewind the DVR and take a look.

OF COURSE the replay umpires ruled against The Reds on that. MLB Replay is an absolute laughing stock. Why even have it? If this is what they're going to do with it, let's just go back to the umpires on the field blowing calls and skip the whole delay of game that is MLB instant replay.

I'm totally on board with replay if they could do it right but it has been an absolute joke since the moment they started it.

At least with the old way of doing things, you would get an entertaining argument after a blown call, and possibly an ejection.

[Big Klu]

Why the **** did Kivlehan jump?

First, that was a bad play by Kivlehan.

Second, the outfield corners at Wrigley are very difficult to play, especially for a relatively inexperienced outfielder. There are only about six inches of foul territory between the foul line and the brick wall.

[Big Klu]

Of course that's a base hit! It's Schwarber and the Cubs, after all!

[Tom Servo]

I'll let Price crash on my couch for the next few days if it means the Reds fire him after this game.

[reds44]

Price intentionally walking Jon Jay in a 9-2 game when he had a chance for the cycle is incredibly bush league

[WVRedsFan]

I'll let Price crash on my couch for the next few days if it means the Reds fire him after this game.Read on Red Reporter a very discouraging opinion that said if the Reds didn't expect to compete next year, they would pick up his option. Even if the Reds stay pat, Having Bryan o the bench means a lot of extra losses. Don't they realize that?

[Norse1978]

Fair points. However, none of that made him jump for a ball that would have simply landed in his glove.

2008:

2017:
Joey Votto (31), Adam Duvall (27), Scott Schebler (23), Eugenio Suarez (20), Scooter Gennett (20)

[Ironman92]

Yes, Scooter who can't hit lefties is 5 for his last 12 with 2 HR and a few very good AB that ended in outs

[Tom Servo]

Yes, Scooter who can't hit lefties is 5 for his last 12 with 2 HR and a few very good AB that ended in outs

Jeez.

Yeah, his splits in the majors definitely showed him getting the at bats to say. He's never played in MLB with the ability to go 0-4 vs a lefty and be put out there again. Not like a player at a prime age can't improve or adjust at all either. Sorry, Peraza won't get 725 PA...his 500+ will have to do this year. Maybe next year he can be everyday SS.

[mbgrayson]

There goes Scooter's ERA....

[Ironman92]

You schooled me on those stats yesterday. School these other fools here too!

Huh? Did not.

[Tony Cloninger]

Fire Pierce now. He is going to ruin Scooter. He is going to Reith him.

[Big Klu]

I can't remember the last time a player with a single-digit number pitched for the Reds.

Edit: Maybe Paul Janish? (#7)

[Tom Servo]

He's never played in MLB with the ability to go 0-4 vs a lefty and be put out there again. N
I know that's Scooter's line but it doesn't stand up to scrutiny. Two HRs don't change his career performance.

I'm not even mad about Peraza, I just think the Reds (and you) want Gennett to be something he's not.

[reds44]

Gennett is still a better pitcher than Rookie Davis

[Tony Cloninger]

Walter White for manager of the Reds. He will Not tolerate losing.

[mbgrayson]

So does Price allowing Scooter to pitch to Jay make up for the intentional walk of him last time while he is going for the cycle? At least partly.....

Into the sun Well, just out of Cincinnati and back to Arizona. I just want him away from this baseball team!

I know that's Scooter's line but it doesn't stand up to scrutiny. Two HRs don't change his career performance.

I'm not even mad about Peraza, I just think the Reds (and you) want Gennett to be something he's not.

No, not really. I'm as loyal to this team as the rest of you. It's not easy watching a team suck enough to lose at the rate they have for years. I have kept a close eye on Scooter's at bats vs lefties. He looked clueless in June when given opportunities but the last few weeks his at bats have been very good. He has been successful in those games. Maybe he goes 1 for his next 8 with ridiculous looking swings and Paul Janish contact....but he looks just fine right now vs lefties and not bad lefties either.

What is Scooter? Well he's an average OPS guy over his career and not great on defense. His first year the league didn't know him and he had good season....next year league caught up some and last couple years he hasn't adjusted back (if he has the ability).....but hell he is 27 and sure has adjusted to something. He isn't a .930 OPS vs righties over his career either. Are we not surprised that he kept it going after his 4 HR game? He's been a guy that has been good at the plate for this terrible Reds team. He's at worst a pleasant surprise. He keeps going and I'm going to keep bringing it up....it's a positive thing. In too small of sample he's looking much more comfortable. I won't wear it out but I've been watching and not betting my house on him being a 124 OPS from here on out, but he's in best shape of his career and is a perfect age to be hitting his prime. Guess I'll just keep watching.
