[Chip R]

Cubs pretty much have the division wrapped up so no use in rooting against them now. Hopefully they will knock the Cardinals out and the Reds can return the favor to the Brewers from 18 years ago.

[Sea Ray]

It's kinda tough with the starters we're throwing out there these days. These guys aren't major league starters and arguably not even AAA.

[JaxRed]

Am hoping for a crazily good start for Deck.

[paintmered]

Kid, just do what Tucker tells you to do.

oh well

3-0 Brewers on a Domingo Santana HR

Yay! :rolleyes:

Brewers hit the Deck.

Welcome aboard the USS Rheinland, Mr. McGuire. You'll fit right in.

[JaxRed]

Failure to throw strikes.......

[Powel Crosley]

I don't think 'ol Deck is long for this game.

[paintmered]

This has the makings of a 50-pitch 1st inning.

Kid needs to learn to turn off his brain out there.

[Big Klu]

THom is wrong again.

He says that Rookie Davis is the only player from the Aroldis Chapman trade who has made the big leagues. Rookie is actually the third player from that deal to play for the Reds. Caleb Cotham played last year, and is already retired. Tony Renda also played last year, and is now in the Diamondbacks organization (I think).

[WVRedsFan]

Schebler HR. 4-2

[Tom Servo]

Schebler HR. 4-2
#30 on the season

[Chip R]

Kid, just do what Tucker tells you to do.

Screw that. Do what the Reds front office tells you what to do. Worked for Votto.

Late with my joke here.

THom going on and on about how wonderful Miller Park is because it's a convertible.

Thom's going to reach down between his legs and ease his seat back.

[JaxRed]

Glad to see Schebler get his 30!

[Big Klu]

THom now expressing his ardor for Javier Baez.

[Big Klu]

THom pontificating on how wonderful it would be if the NL Wild Card Game would be Milwaukee at Arizona, so that Craig Counsell could return to where he won a World Series as a player.

[Kc61]

Deck certainly hasn’t been effective tonight, but the home plate ump isn’t doing him any favors. Several close pitches called balls since the very first batter.

[Kc61]

Gennett error and it’s now a four run Brewer lead.

Tough night for McGuire.

[Chip R]

Deck has 91 pitches through 3. He fits right in.

[mhs95_06]

Votto didn't do much to help Scooter on that throw - wasn't that far astray and some better footwork could have saved the error.

[Ironman92]

Hi guys

[mhs95_06]

Reds cut the lead to 4-2 and had the tying run on 2nd with no out, and got neither runner in, and now back to being down by 4.

Billy with a leadoff triple, his 11th of the season.

[Big Klu]

I see that Front Row Amy is in attendance tonight! :thumbup:

[Tom Servo]

Cozart! :jump:

6-4 game

[Tom Servo]

Suarez RBI single and it's a 6-5 game

It's just bizarre to me how people were still insisting "Winker can't hit HRs" at the same time we were seeing Scooter Gennett hit 4 in a game.

[Big Klu]

Tonight's Joe Nuxhall Star of the Game is Scott Schebler, who was 2-for-4 with a 2-run HR, becoming the third Red to hit 30 home runs this season.

[Big Klu]

On pace for 68-94.

[Big Klu]

Reds finish the season 10-14 on Bowtie Tuesday.

[kaldaniels]

Winker goes yard. :beerme:

I was hoping to see one more before the season ended.

2 in 347 MILB PA this year.
7 in 127 MLB PA this year.

I mean I know the ball is juiced but that's substantially substantial!

Never thought of that, so you're saying balls aren't juiced at AAA.

the home run explosion hadn’t yet extended to the upper levels of the minor leagues, which use balls manufactured in China that differ from the Costa Rica–made MLB ball

I'm giddy about Winker. Hasn't really had any hot/cold stretches that I've noticed. Just a solid major league bat.

Excited and hoping to see him full time all next season.

[Big Klu]

With tonight's loss, the Reds clinch last place in the NL Central for the third year in a row. (Actually, it was clinched before the game was over when the Pirates defeated the Orioles.)

This marks only the second time in Reds history that they have finished last in three or more consecutive seasons. (1931-34)
