#reds activating Billy Hamilton from DL for game tonight. Likely only being used to pinch run at first.

Frustrating that we seem to have called up virtually every pitcher from AAA but still have to suffer Kivelehan at 3B. Is there no other hitters on the 40 man that can play there?

Is Suarez hurt? I was afraid the extension would make Price bolder with his silly ideas. By the way, it was announced by Thom last night that Bryan was giddy with what all Kivlehan could do. :thumbdown:

His kid was born last night.

Darn that Price for impregnating Suarez's wife just to get Kivlehan a couple of meaningless starts!

It's like he's a super villain or something

Did Ervin kick someone's puppy?

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

Says Price, Iglesias had flu-like symptoms and felt light headed warming up last night. It's why he wasn't used in 9th inn. #reds

Jeez Doug you could have just posted an answer here instead of writing a whole blog post about it.

Maybe Ervin is a midwife in the offseason and has been helping with all the new babies.

Scooter could play 3rd with Peraza at second

Of all the young starters, I have the lowest expectations for Davis.

Tom Servo

Weaver looks good. Whenever the Cardinals draft these college pitchers early who look like innings eaters coming out of school (Lance Lynn, Michael Wacha) I just know they'll use Cardinals Devil Magic to turn them into something above that.

2-0 Birds on a double off a leaping Duvall's glove

4-0 Cardinals on a Fowler HR.

Someone should tell Stephens and Davis how easy it is to pitch in September.

1. Joe Morgan is still a treasure.
2. Rookie Davis will never be anything more than roster fodder.

That's as bad as I've seen Duvall look on any catchable ball. Davis then lost concentration and gave up the HR to Fowler.

I think it's all about context. If you're going to avoid mentioning his name like he's Voldemort, then he only gains power. Joe simply mentioned him in terms of how he prepared as a player, which was appropriate based on the topic they were discussing (Votto's preparation).

Mella gives up a bases loaded, two out double to Molina. 7-0 Cardinals.

Reds won't be shutout. Peraza single and he scores on a Kivlehan double. 7-1 game.

Winker RBI single makes it 7-2

Tony Cloninger

Are they afraid to play Ervin for fear they can't hide him if they remove him from the 40 man roster ?
Or is he just another Dave Sappelt or Jason Romano.

Tom Servo

That looked like a HR to me.

Cards not challenging though, Gyorko doubles and in pinch run for.

I'm thinking Wojo and Farrell will not be retained. Shackelford is circling the drain.

Tom Servo

Announcers talking about who Deck McGuire looks like. The high 60s number/being a reliever plays a part in it but even physically and facially he reminds me of Logan Ondrusek.

Deck the only Reds pitcher (so far) to not allow any runs tonight with two scoreless.

Tonight's Joe Nuxhall Star of the Game is Chad Wallach, who picked up his first major-league hit with a PH single in the 9th inning.

Fast forwarding through the game wasn't too painful. Votto finally swung at a bad pitch this season and then yelled the loudest f bomb of his career lol

On pace for 70-92.Probably worse than that, and still even though there have been successes against lesser teams (can you hear me Pittsburgh?), it doesn't mean much. I see an improving team, but the way we've seen the last few games have been managed (pitchers out the kazoo) just shows me that the future is a long way away. price used 13 pitchers the last two games and the result was 19 innings of 9 hits and 17 runs. I'm not confident. The success of Mahle, Romano, and others is wonderful, but it doesn't make me feel so happy inside. I hope for the best, but...

So your latest kick is complaining about using too many pitchers during September call ups?

You know management has given up when you see a lineup of Kivelhan at third,Peraza in CF and Rookie Davis on the mound. I knew when I saw that lineup the Reds had no chance. It didn't take long for the bombings to start. I only watched the first few innings because Morgan was in the booth. Otherwise I would have just left this game alone. Sounded like Morgan was going to be back for Friday nights game. He has some Sparky story he wants to tell about game 7 of the 75 series.

Welcome Mella, you fit in nicely on this pitching staff. McGuire has got to get with the program. Another scoreless outing. Can't take much more of that.

What has happened to Ervin? For some reason I thought he was hurt but I don't know for sure. If he's healthy he should be playing.
