• The Reds will send Sal Romano to the mound Friday night to oppose knuckleballer R.A. Dickey, who has allowed one earned run or less in nine of his past 11 starts.


Maybe Ervin is sitting to avoid having to face Dickey and his dancing Knuckler.

Braves will wear 1974 throwbacks on Friday and Saturday as part of Hank Aaron Heritage Weekend.

That Braves uni picture looks better than I remembered.

Sorry to immediately start of us with this, but this is "just down the road" according to Thom.

[Tom Servo]

Reds down in order in the first.

[Big Klu]

I had forgotten that the Braves batting helmet in the 70's had a white bill.

[Tom Servo]

"A lot of people don't think the Braves did Phillips right moving him to 3rd"

I say about 85% of Braves fans express no real emotion about it besides excitement that Albies was called up with the other 15% just being people impressed by BP's batting average and having an aversion to rookies.

Is that just your guess, or is that what social media indicates?

[Tom Servo]

Big Sal gives up a double to Freddie Freeman but nothing else. He's throwing strikes so far.

[Raisor]

My parents are at the game.

[Tom Servo]

What I saw on social media and Braves sites. The majority of Braves fans viewed him simply as a stopgap, though obviously he did earn some fans thanks to his reputation and solid play with the Braves.

[Big Klu]

I would guess that THom has never eaten collard greens.

[757690]

My parents are at the game.

Cool. What's their report in the new stadium?

I bought one back in the early '80's. I loved the white bill and the lower case "a"

Haven't heard back yet

[Tom Servo]

Fatt Adams back to terrorizing the Reds like he did in the first series. 1-0 Barves.

[Big Klu]

I wonder if Chip Caray complains about the home runs in this place as much as he does at GABP.

[Big Klu]

My parents are at the game.

How are Martha and Jonathan?

[Tom Servo]

Dickey sharp the first time through the order, only a walk to Suarez.

[Red Raindog]

My parents are at the game.

Party at their house?

My son, who is a poster to this site, is also there and says it is the best stadium he has ever been to. He has been to a lot including Fenway, Dodger, New Yank, New Mets, Wrigley, Cincy and St. Louis.

[Raisor]

Super, man.

Wonder if the Cowboy ever picks up that Thom is laughing at him, not with him.

[Tom Servo]

Groundball machine Sal in the 4th, he's looked good besides the HR.

[Chip R]

It's my wife's birthday. So yes.

Give her a present and do something without her tonight.

[reds44]

I think 33 can hit

[Tom Servo]

I think 33 can hit
Solid baserunning too.

[Tom Servo]

Runners on 2nd and 3rd with two out, but Cozart fouls out.

[Tom Servo]

Sal retires BP to quash a small threat in the 5th.

Still 1-0 Barves.

[reds44]

At least Sal shows flashes occssasionally.

Duvall HR, reds lead 2-1!

Duvall has a very compact and powerful swing.

No one-earned-run-or-less for Dickey tonight. Nice blast Duvall!

[redhawkfish]

"Sixteen Candles" reference or Reds hitting?

[Wonderful Monds]

Thom called both Suarez and Winker's HR like they were groundouts to 2nd

God he sucks so much

[Big Klu]

Damn I didn't realize Romano was that much of a hard thrower

[klw]

Castillo has average 6 innings a piece over his 11 starts

[marcshoe]

Of course by now everyone knows that Coca Cola got its name because it originally contained cola.

Two starts of 6.0+ innings by young pitchers through one rotation,...coincidence. If Stephenson can do it Saturday,...trend.

I think we may have found a reliever that wouldn't even make the Reds team.

[Wonderful Monds]

Thom is talking smack so of course here comes a triple play.

He's from Josh Smith's (and my) alma mater.

I think a more experienced third baseman than Phillips goes home there

If Duvall were a little slower it could have been.

[The DARK]

Good to see Brandon Phillips is still out there helping to turn double plays.

[marcshoe]

Yeah, but I really hate to agree with Thom.

[Big Klu]

I think a more experienced third baseman than Phillips goes home there

He was playing back though, so I think the Braves were playing for the double play.

That's why Freddie plays first

He slipped off the bag. It happens.

Ok, I wanted to be a participant in game threads but it's obvious that too many people have a Thom fetish and Game discussion is secondary to several folks on here.... Sad really, but be sure and get your Thom fix. Maybe there's another game area that talks about the Reds and it's players??? Oh well....

It's 10 o'clock. Do you know where your RedsZone is?

Tonight's thread has been fairly enjoyable, as they often are on Friday nights​.

But nobody had mentioned THom in 25 minutes until you said something.

Ran out to grab dinner why on earth did Price go to Shackelford lol

[Donder]

This might be a crazy statement, but I'm glad he played yesterday's game like it was game 7. That would've been demoralizing to lose. Plus, that game meant something. These three don't.

[The Operator]

Of course Thom thought the Flo Rida concert was "big league".

He was probably front row.

Because there's a can of potato soup inside his head where a brain should be.

As much as it pains me to say it, I agree with Thom on Iglesias being wasted in this role on this particular team. Same as Chapman.

Suarez is a walk machine

Geno now has 69 walks this season.

.267/.380/.484 .864 OPS that's a pretty solid season in my opinion.

[cumberlandreds]

Price has the scruffy wino look going on

That is what happens when you manage the Reds for as long as he has.

I will cut back on my criticisms of Thom when Thom becomes a big league broadcaster. Until then the criticisms and snarks will continue.

Good game from Romano. Just need to see some consistency from him. I hope that happens.

Shackleford is terrible. There has to be someone else in the minors better than him? Tell me there is.

[reds44]

Geno now has 69 walks this season.

[OnBaseMachine]

Geno now has 69 walks this season.

.267/.380/.484 .864 OPS that's a pretty solid season in my opinion.

Suarez is one of the most underrated players in the game, IMO. He's on an EdE arc. Wouldn't shock me if he hits 30+ HR next season.

Jesse Winker is also flashing an excellent walk rate. He's at a solid .286/.383/.457 mark through 81 PAs.
