We are back at it tonight against the Cardinals. Winker in the lead off position. Kivelhan at 3B. JackSteve gets the start on the mound.

It's amazing the amount of days off in September when you have expanded rosters. How about doing that in June/July?

[Tom Servo]

Hope Stephens has the strikeout pitching going tonight because that defense behind him is incredibly suspect.

[CySeymour]

Why is Kivlehan getting starts?

I assume that they build in the off days so that make up games can be played, if required.

Why is Kivlehan getting starts?

To feed a thread on whether both Suarez and Senzel will need to move off of third.

[Sea Ray]

Looks like a Sunday Special a couple days late

Eugenio Suarez is with his wife at the hospital, where they anticipate the birth of their first child

Unacceptable!

[Raisor]

I hate the Cardinals and their stupid fans

What about the smart ones?

He's the smartest one they have.

[Tom Servo]

Scoreless first for Stephens.

[757690]

These camo uni's with the green hat and Red undershirts are especially hard to look at.

[Tom Servo]

Leadoff double for Winker

Votto drives him in with a single. 1-0 Redlegs.

[Chip R]

Votto with a run scoring single.

[Tony Cloninger]

100 RBI coming. Taste the sweet tears of those 100 ribbies from Votto, Marty and Thom.

[JaxRed]

Little behind. I like how Kivelhan tossed the ball right over a kid wearing a Cards shirt to one wearing a Reds shirt.

[Tom Servo]

Thom loves him some DeJong. He's gonna be sad when the 17 walks/115 strikeout rate catches up to him.

2 scoreless for Stephens, threw an interesting breaking pitch to strikeout DeJong.

He's probably a great bunter. Lot of DeJongs where I grew up.

Guy across the aisle fron me is trying to explain baseball to his son who's probably no older than 4. :)

You grew up in Amsterdam? Or Aruba?

[Chip R]

Kivlehan with a sac fly. 2-0

Iowa.

[Kc61]

Cards are fading from playoff contention.

They are 6 out, in third place, for the Central. Cubs really knocked them off this past weekend.

They are 4.5 out, behind two teams, for the second wild card. That's more feasible, but still unlikely at this point.

Brewers are in better shape, particularly for the second wild card, trailing just Colorado.

Is THom doing the TV broadcast tonight?

If so, I'm glad I'm listening to the radio.

[Tom Servo]

Is THom doing the TV broadcast tonight?

Boy oh boy, you better believe it.

[Tom Servo]

9 up, 9 down for Stephens.

[Chip R]

Winker halfway to a cycle with a single.

Cozart bomb!

[Tom Servo]

Winker singles, he's 2-2

Cozy! :jump:

[Kc61]

Time to close up the draft pick thread. Reds playing to win. Good for them.

[Chip R]

Cards made a stealth pitching change. Hasn't helped.

[RED VAN HOT]

Will the posters who claimed Cozart would regress to his normal, please come forward.

There's still a couple of weeks to go in the season.

[WrongVerb]

Gennett has accounted for 4 of the 8 outs the Reds have recorded so far. Bad night.

[JaxRed]

Bronson thinking "Something about this pitcher I like......"

[Chip R]

Fine play by Votto!

[Tom Servo]

No hitter is over

[Chip R]

Back to back to back hits given up by Stephens. Better get someone up.

[Chip R]

Tie game.

[Powel Crosley]

This quickly turned bad.

[Tom Servo]

That's why Jax Steph is probably a reliever.

[RED VAN HOT]

Looks like he picked up a little too much from Bronson.

[Chip R]

Stephens is gone. Wojo in.

[Tony Cloninger]

That's too bad. I want the Cardinals buried.

[Chip R]

Reds go 1-2-3 in the 4th.

[Kc61]

Interested to see how Cody Reed does here.

[WVRedsFan]

Well, it's 5-4 with a couple of HR off Stephens. Thom must be bad luck. He kept praising Stephens and all torment broke loose. Cody Reed in now.

[Chip R]

Just a 22 pitch inning by Reed.

[Chip R]

Superfluous J in to pinch hit for Reed.

[Chip R]

Reds haven't been able to touch Cecil.

[Strikes Out Looking]

Molina seems to hit about .900 against the Reds with RISP, and .100 against everyone else. If I managed the Reds, I'd have him either walked or hit at least once a game. I really hate that guy.

[Kc61]

Ariel Hernandez pitching. 123 inning.

[Chip R]

Votto with a walk, Scooter with a double. Sac fly scores Votto.

[Chip R]

Another sac fly scores Scooter. Marty must be positively tumescent now.

[Strikes Out Looking]

Stop the presses: Stuart Turner walks, has to introduce himself to Reds 1b coach.

[Chip R]

There's a cadre of TBFIB behind the StL dugout. Pretty quiet now.

[Chip R]

Cards almost threw that into RF.

[marcshoe]

That was the definition of "on cue". Thanks, Chris.

[Chip R]

And we're tied again.

[Kc61]

Reds with a threat in the 8th. Walk, HBP. Two on, one out. Pitching change, one of many tonight.

[Tony Cloninger]

Where's Iglesias? If any game was a want to win it. It's against these bozos.

[RED VAN HOT]

Reds must like Kivlehan better than I do. Starting him at 3rd looks like an attempt to justify keeping him on the 40 man roster.

[WVRedsFan]

Kivlehan hitting .202 OBP below.300 now. Bad throws.

[Chip R]

Time for a walk off.

[Ironman92]

Not a lot of pitchers make that play at 1st base

[50YrRedsFan]

I guess Price doesn't want to win 'that' bad....leaving Turner in to hit instead of a PH. Oh, he's trying to build confidence for next year.

[GADawg]

Pham has the worst throwing motion I've seen since Hunter Pence

[Chip R]

Some people might walk Votto here and let Duvall beat thwm.

[WVRedsFan]

Extras coming up

[50YrRedsFan]

Mighty Joey has struck out.

[50YrRedsFan]

Adleman in.....the beginning of the end?

[WVRedsFan]

I don't have any idea what Price is doing using 9 pitchers. I guess going for double figures

[Chip R]

Wong HBP. He knows what he did.

[Tony Cloninger]

Price talking from both sides of his mouth again regarding trying to win against teams in contention

[50YrRedsFan]

The must play rule.:laugh:

[Chip R]

[50YrRedsFan]

Adleman sheesh...enough said.

[Ironman92]

This baby is over

[WVRedsFan]

5.47 ERA

[Strikes Out Looking]

There is a reason that so many teams decided Adelman wasn't going to be on their team.

Here's how to know if the Reds think they are close to contention next year - Adelman is off the 40 man as soon as this season is over, or best case scenario as soon as this game is over.

[757690]

Glad they brought Aldeman in. I had to leave for dinner plans.

[WVRedsFan]

8-6 now. Adleman walks Molina and DeJong singles. ERA up to 5.53

[50YrRedsFan]

Well, there's the nail to seal the coffin.

[Ironman92]

Scooter with a rally killer

[Mutaman]

On the bright side at least Adelman didn't give up back to backers like the last time he pitched.

[BCubb2003]

Scooter with a rally killer

The Sultan of Scoot!

[Roy Tucker]

After watching the PBS Vietnam series this week, a smoke filled GABP fits right in.

[WVRedsFan]

Nicasio out and Lyons seals it. Missed opportunity using 8 pitchers. I am confused.

[Big Klu]

Tonight's Joe Nuxhall Star of the Game is Cardinals CF Dexter Fowler, who was 3-for-4 with a single, double, and HR, 2 RBI's, 3 runs scored, and a BB.

[Big Klu]

On pace for 71-91.

[Big Klu]

Reds fall to 10-13 on Bowtie Tuesday.

[GADawg]

Reds fall to 10-13 on Bowtie Tuesday.

Gotta shore that up before '18 if "we" wanna contend

[cumberlandreds]

This game changed in a hurry. Reds were leading 4-0. I had to go do something at home and when I came back it was 5-4 Cardinals. I wasn't gone that long either. Geesh......But what else can you expect from a pitching poor team?

Kivelhan looks bad at third. I hope they are just trying to showcase him for the next sucker err....team that would want him.

If you are tired and you are ready to go home just send in Adleman. He will end it quickly for you and not in a good way I might add. Oh well, only a dozen of these left to go in 2017.

Suarez is on paternity leave and it would be bold to leave the position empty ;)

They might as well leave it empty for how Kivelhan looked there last night.

Could have scooted Gennett over to 3B and started Peraza at 2B.

Raisel Iglesias didn't pitch yesterday because he was sick. Said he feels better today.
