Mostly like this lineup but I can’t believe Schebler is freakin dead RIP

Mostly like this lineup but I can’t believe Schebler is freakin dead RIP

We are still 26 days away until they place him on the DL.

[Ron Madden]

I like this lineup

[KronoRed]

No 3rd catcher that can't play but we've got a 5th OF that can't play.

24 Man Rosters!

[NebraskaRed]

I'm pretty sure Schebler had his arm amputated and they're waiting for it to grow back Groot-style.

[Big Klu]

If they put Schebler on the DL retroactively, he would only have to miss the rest of the road trip, and could still be activated in time for the first game of the homestand against the Cardinals on Thursday.

[Tony Cloninger]

Either he fractured his elbow or he didn’t. And now whatever groove he had is now kaput. At least Ervin gets a start. H

[Donder]

If they put Schebler on the DL retroactively, he would only have to miss the rest of the road trip, and could still be activated in time for the first game of the homestand against the Cardinals on Thursday.

If they're being this cautious with him it seems like they should go ahead and DL him. Bring up another reliever so you don't need to use Hughes for mop-up duty.

I like the lineup. I still prefer Tucker hitting immediately in front of the pitcher since he is more willing/able to take a walk then Peraza, but that's a minor complaint.

[Kinsm]

Any lineup where BHam isn't leading off is a good one.

[Ron Madden]

Schebler 'frustrated' by effects of HBP; no DL yet.

Outfielder, hit in elbow last Sunday, still lacking feeling in fingers.

[Reds Fanatic]

Winker hit by the pitch

[Tom Servo]

Chris might be underestimating Winker's cold tolerance a little, he's a Buffalo kid even though he grew up in Orlando.

[Reds Fanatic]

Votto with a single to left. 1st and 2nd with 1 out

[Tom Servo]

Votto starting to look like himself.

[Reds Fanatic]

Scooter strikes out swinging

[Reds Fanatic]

Duvall strikes out looking.

[Tom Servo]

bleh

[Kinsm]

How do you take that pitch for the strikeout? yikes

[ochoa30]

Someone has to come through at some point right? Right?

[Wolves198921]

Pathetic, just beyond pathetic. Pirates are terrible, especially their pitching but are dominating the pathetic reds.

[Big Klu]

Pathetic, just beyond pathetic. Pirates are terrible, especially their pitching but are dominating the pathetic reds.

Terrible outranks pathetic.

[Reds Fanatic]

Bell with a hit and the Pirates now have 1st and 3rd with 2 outs

[The Operator]

After getting two quick outs Sal is in some trouble. Two Pirates aboard.

[Tom Servo]

Dickerson here is a bit scary.

[kaldaniels]

If they put Schebler on the DL retroactively, he would only have to miss the rest of the road trip, and could still be activated in time for the first game of the homestand against the Cardinals on Thursday.

I saw you can only back date 3 days now.

[The Operator]

Lol 2-0

[Tom Servo]

Dickerson here is a bit scary.
Yep.

[Reds Fanatic]

Here we go again. Dickerson doubles in 2 runs. Throw to the plate could have got the second runner but it gets away and Dickerson goes to 3rd

[RiverRat13]

No put-away pitch for Sal so far in his two starts.

[Donder]

Well we already have 2/3 of our 2018 Reds Killers outfield in place.

[Reds Fanatic]

Good play by Suarez to end the inning

[Big Klu]

I saw you can only back date 3 days now.

Yeah, I just saw that too. Learn something new every day.

[Ron Madden]

Nice Play Geno!!!

[Wolves198921]

I’m sick of it!!! We are about to get blown out again. Can’t even compete, we are going to get blown out nearly every game this year. The front office for the reds are clowns

[ochoa30]

Ump sucks too so that's fun

[Ron Madden]

I’m sick of it!!! We are about to get blown out again. Can’t even compete, we are going to get blown out nearly every game this year. The front office for the reds are clowns

It's the top of the 2nd inning...

[Reds Fanatic]

Barnhart walks

[Kc61]

Sal needs to miss more bats.

[Tracy Jones]

The Reds already won today...in Manchester

[Reds Fanatic]

Peraza grounds into a DP to end the inning

[Tom Servo]

Sal not pounding the strike zone like he does when he's going good.

[durl]

Did I see right? We're 4th worst in team LOB?

[thatcoolguy_22]

I haven't been able to watch a lot of Rrda baseball this season, but it seems like everytime I turn it on Winker is in RF. Not mentioning the Dickerson hit, but he seems a bit lost out there. Anyone else thinking similarly? Is this just while Schebler is out or are the Reds looking for long term?

I think it's just with Schebler out, but they also wanna see if he can handle it. Doesn't look like he can.

[Reds Fanatic]

Did I see right? We're 4th worst in team LOB?

I am amazed there are 3 teams worse then the Reds

[thatcoolguy_22]

Peraza grounds into a DP to end the inning

That could be the byline of the 2018 Reds.

[Big Klu]

The Reds already won today...in Manchester

I thought Liverpool played at Everton today.

[durl]

I am amazed there are 3 teams worse then the Reds

Nats are 3rd. But they still score a whole lot.

[Reds Fanatic]

Moran walks and Mercer singles. 1st and 2nd

[Tracy Jones]

I thought Liverpool played at Everton today.

Liverpool? Never heard of them

[ochoa30]

Guaranteed the pirates won't play this well the rest of the year. Hope they enjoy it while it lasts.

[Reds Fanatic]

Wow this is getting ugly. Perfect bunt and then Romano with a throwing error. Bases loaded

[Stray]

ugh

[durl]

Walk, single, error. Could be another disastrous inning.

[Tracy Jones]

Moran walks and Mercer singles. 1st and 2nd

Time to get Gallardo up....

[Big Klu]

Liverpool? Never heard of them

You'll Never Walk Alone.

[Reds Fanatic]

Sac fly. 3-0 Pirates

[Tracy Jones]

You'll Never Walk Alone.

You’ll Never Win Again

[Reds Fanatic]

Bloop hit to center. 4-0 Pirates

[durl]

Hamilton would have had that.

[wvreds]

Sigh.

[LexRedsFan]

Was this roster the worst spent 85 million dollars ever?

[ochoa30]

I know it won't be this bad all year but where is the improvement? Same guys look worse then last year. Heads need to roll at some point.

[durl]

Was this roster the worst spent 85 million dollars ever?

If you factor in runs per dollar, they have to be in the running.

[Tracy Jones]

This team is a difficult watch

[KronoRed]

Teams needs to be contracted if Gallardo even warms up.

[WVRedsFan]

...and it doesn't get any better. Make it stop!!

[ochoa30]

It's time for Price to explode or somebody to show some passion. They are rolling over and were a week into the season. Not a good look.

[Tracy Jones]

It's time for Price to explode or somebody to show some passion. They are rolling over and were a week into the season. Not a good look.

Not sure if it’s rolling over or they’re just this terrible. I mean yeah spring and all, but they were putrid in spring training too.

[WVRedsFan]

Not sure if it’s rolling over or they’re just this terrible. I mean yeah spring and all, but they were putrid in spring training too.

I watched every spring game I could and I feared this. The pitching was especially bad. It continues.

[Reds Fanatic]

Winker walks

[BluegrassRedleg]

It's time for Price to explode or somebody to show some passion. They are rolling over and were a week into the season. Not a good look.

He’s not gonna start now, unless it’s with some media dude. He hasn’t had a pulse his entire tenure with the Reds with the exception of that meltdown.

How much was spent on the launch of new Coke?

[durl]

I told myself it was only Spring, and regular season coukd be better...

[Reds Fanatic]

Votto with a line drive sac fly to right. 4-1 Pirates

[Tracy Jones]

I told myself it was only Spring, and regular season coukd be better...

Lots of things in spring training can be dismissed, but good spring records usually translate to good season records and vise versa, especially with young teams.

[Reds Fanatic]

Wild pitch moves Suarez to 3rd

[The Operator]

Can't blame them when they saw their GM do jack squat other than a couple middling relievers over the offseason.

[kaldaniels]

Jim Day’s Crack Reporting

Schebler says his injury is “the darndest thing ever!”

[Donder]

In the "could be worse" department, Phillies beating the Marlins 16-1 in the 4th.

[kaldaniels]

Condense the schedule.

These first 10 days haven’t even felt like baseball with all the cancellations, scheduled off days, and cold weather.

[ochoa30]

Sal definitely not getting any luck tonight

[Reds Fanatic]

In the "could be worse" department, Phillies beating the Marlins 16-1 in the 4th.

Now 17-1

Agreed..It's not like they're hitting rockets off of him.

[Donder]

Now 17-1

I hadn't heard that Gallardo was traded to Miami today.

[The Operator]

These first 10 days haven’t even felt like baseball with this inferior team flapping in the wind.

FTFY

[kaldaniels]

FTFY

I knew I laid the groundwork for that segue.

[50YrRedsFan]

Did I see right? We're 4th worst in team LOB?

I'm surprised the Reds have had enough base runners to qualify.

[ochoa30]

Jeez Duvall. Takes a fastball down the middle then flails at a pitch 5 feet outside. Ugly.

[The Operator]

I knew I laid the groundwork for that segue.

I just couldn't resist.

Dick and Bryan have done a number on me. We're barely into the season and I'm already in mid season form when it comes to grumpiness. Even my wife has noticed.

Ugh

[CaiGuy]

Ban the woo...I don't care how you do it, just ban it.

[Reds Fanatic]

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

[The Operator]

Ban the woo...I don't care how you do it, just ban it.
It was fun for about a week in 2012.

Since then it's just stupid.

[Powel Crosley]

I just couldn't resist.

Dick and Bryan have done a number on me. We're barely into the season and I'm already in mid season form when it comes to grumpiness. Even my wife has noticed.

Ugh

I know what you mean. At least last season they were smoke and mirrors good the first few weeks of the season.

[ochoa30]

Good news is it's only the 4th inning. Bad news is it's only the 4th inning.

1-2-3 inning for Sal while the TV boys discuss Thom staying a room over from Pink.

[Big Klu]

https://youtu.be/Y9NiZqppX0s

I was watching Impact that night. Funniest thing I've ever seen in wrestling.

Jay Lethal has a definite talent for mimicry. (His impersonation of Randy Savage is spot on, as well.)

[Reds Fanatic]

Leadoff hit for Peraza

[Tracy Jones]

His Macho Man was definitely awesome. I hated seeing Ric Flair in Impact. He should’ve stayed retired after that great farewell match with HBK. He embarrassed himself there.

[ochoa30]

Leadoff hit for Peraza

Ah, the Peraza special. Hope to see that another 100 times or so this year.

[Big Klu]

1-2-3 inning for Sal while the TV boys discuss Thom staying a room over from Pink.

Pink is like, "THom who?"

Winker lines a single to right. 4-2 Pirates

[Ron Madden]

WTG Jessie!!!

[CaiGuy]

Jesse Winker, Base Clogger

[ochoa30]

Nice hit Jesse!

[Reds Fanatic]

Winker looking good in the leadoff spot the last few nights

[RedTeamGo!]

Just your everyman, the son of the voice of an Major League Baseball team.

According to the interwebs his networth is $2 mil. Not as much as I expected TBH.

[The Operator]

Kuhl walks Geno on four pitches to bring Votto up.

[Reds Fanatic]

Suarez walks. 1st and 2nd for Votto

[CaiGuy]

According to the interwebs his networth is $2 mil. Not as much as I expected TBH.

He aint sleeping in a cabinet...just sayin'

[klw]

Game day shows the second strike called was a good 6 inches wide, is that right?

[CaiGuy]

How many times of they loaded the bases so far this year?

[The Operator]

Joey singles after a great AB to load the bases.

[Reds Fanatic]

Bloop hit to left for Votto. Votto is starting to lock in the last few nights too

[The Operator]

Game day shows the second strike called was a good 6 inches wide, is that right?

Sure looked that way on TV

[CaiGuy]

Game day shows the second strike called was a good 6 inches wide, is that right?

Yes, it was way outside

[Ron Madden]

Let Votto be Votto

[Big Klu]

Joey singles after a great AB to load the bases.

That looked like a cricket swing.

[Tom Servo]

wow Thom, I guess Scooter isn't that great since he only has that one RBI so far huh

[CaiGuy]

Somewhere, a puppy dies with every woo.

[The Operator]

Scooter goes down without a whimper.

[Reds Fanatic]

Scooter literally falls down swinging at a pitch in the dirt

[Tracy Jones]

Is this an actual rally???

13442

[CaiGuy]

wow Thom, I guess Scooter isn't that great since he only has that one RBI so far huh

Votto - 100+ RBI's = Bum
Gennet - 90 RBI's = Big-time-hitter


???

[Ron Madden]

Scooter not lookin good right now

[Tom Servo]

Scooter not lookin good right now
He's hit a lot of singles so far but not much else. Will be interesting to see if the league has adjusted or if it's just a slow first week.

[The Operator]

Votto - 100+ RBI's = Bum
Gennet - 90 RBI's = Big-time-hitter


??? You left out the scrappy factor.

[Donder]

Votto - 100+ RBI's = Bum
Gennet - 90 RBI's = Big-time-hitter


???

When did Thom call Votto a bum? My kids were being kind of loud I must have missed it.

[Reds Fanatic]

Duvall not looking good either has now struck out 3 times tonight

[CaiGuy]

I think Duvall's days as a starting-caliber player are behind him.

Like him as a 4th OF though.

[Tom Servo]

yikes

[The Operator]

Duvall had no chance.

Everybody on earth knew a low and away breaking Niall was coming, including him. Just couldn't lay off.


Another bases loaded opportunity out to bed with nothing to show for it.

[Donder]

Gotta give it to the Reds, they're not satisfied being 4th in LOB.

[Tracy Jones]

Oh Duvall


https://youtu.be/9Jz1TjCphXE

[ochoa30]

I think Duvall's days as a starting-caliber player are behind him.

Like him as a 4th OF though.

May be a bit premature but he's one of those guys that is tough to watch. Swings at everything when he's struggling.

[CaiGuy]

May be a bit premature but he's one of those guys that is tough to watch. Swings at everything when he's struggling.

Not basing it on his start to the year, just his numbers and age overall. Can't succeed with that approach.

[kaldaniels]

I was watching Impact that night. Funniest thing I've ever seen in wrestling.

Jay Lethal has a definite talent for mimicry. (His impersonation of Randy Savage is spot on, as well.)

I’ve seen that a million times and I still get scared Flair is gonna drop dead of a heart attack.

[ochoa30]

I cant remember a time when the reds hit well with RISP. Seems like an issue every single year.

[Mutaman]

there really isn't much you can say.

[kaldaniels]

I think Duvall's days as a starting-caliber player are behind him.

Like him as a 4th OF though.

Hell nah, he’s a Gold Glove finalist!

[50YrRedsFan]

Reds putrid offense continues to put a large burden on the pitchers.

[ochoa30]

Hell nah, he’s a Gold Glove finalist!

With 30 Homer's and 100 RBI's!!

[CaiGuy]

Hell nah, he’s a Gold Glove finalist!

Yay! He's one of the best of the worst OFer's!

[The Operator]

Nice fifth inning from Sally who has set down 7 straight.

[WVRedsFan]

Bases loaded with 1 out and two strikeouts. That's good on the pitcher. Throw it in the dirt and our team swings at it.

[Donder]

This is the Sal I was hoping to see. Come on offense, get him off the hook.

[Reds Fanatic]

After a shaky start tonight Romano has looked good that last few innings

[TheBigLebowski]

Wow. I can tolerate dumping on most any Red, including game and upper management, but even I think the Duvall bashing is wrong and premature.

[ochoa30]

After a shaky start tonight Romano has looked good that last few innings

Struggled early last year as well. Reds need to figure out a way for him to be ready from the outset. Either way nice job by him to keep us in it and pitch some innings.

[Reds Fanatic]

Neverauskus in to pitch

[klw]

I cant remember a time when the reds hit well with RISP. Seems like an issue every single year.

Reds hold the NL record for most LOB in a season with 1328 in 1976. They must have been unwatchable that year!

[Tracy Jones]

Romano has settled quite nicely at least.

[757690]

After a shaky start tonight Romano has looked good that last few innings

I think we are seeing what to expect from Romano. Gives innings. Gives up a few runs. Keeps the team in the game until the late innings. A solid BOR starter.

[ochoa30]

Reds hold the NL record for most LOB in a season with 1328 in 1976. They must have been unwatchable that year!

Haha, when you have that many guys on base as I'm sure they did that year that number has new meaning.

[757690]

Neverauskus in to pitch

Never say Neverauskus

[Tom Servo]

Wow. I can tolerate dumping on most any Red, including game and upper management, but even I think the Duvall bashing is wrong and premature.
He hit .212/.277/.385 in the second half last year. He's got value but it's not surprising people are getting tired of the one dimensional aspect.

[Reds Fanatic]

Ervin lines out to center

[50YrRedsFan]

Reds hold the NL record for most LOB in a season with 1328 in 1976. They must have been unwatchable that year!

Shows how many base runners they had......probably led the league.

[Reds Fanatic]

Quackenbush warming up. At least it is not Gallardo

[Tom Servo]

who in the blue hell is Dovydas Neverauskas

[CaiGuy]

Wow. I can tolerate dumping on most any Red, including game and upper management, but even I think the Duvall bashing is wrong and premature.

I don't mean to bash him...like him OK, just think he is a bit one-dimensional to be of much value in this day-and-age of the homerun.

[Reds Fanatic]

Barnhart lines a double to right

[Reds Fanatic]

Bloop hit to left for Peraza. 1st and 3rd

Shebler still ded.

[757690]

who in the blue hell is Dovydas Neverauskas

First Lithuanian MLB player.

[ochoa30]

Reds need a decent lefty bat off the bench.

[Tracy Jones]

who in the blue hell is Dovydas Neverauskas

I think he used to play center for the Cavs

[Tony Cloninger]

who in the blue hell is Dovydas Neverauskas

Don’t ask me.

[Reds Fanatic]

Pennington strikes out looking. Wow that pitch looked high

[The Operator]

Winked walks on four.

Bases juiced for Geno

[Reds Fanatic]

4 pitch walk to Winker. Has been on base 4 times tonight. Bases loaded

[Tracy Jones]

Looked Winker got a bit of a pitch around there

[ochoa30]

Time for a 2 out hit for our guys!

[Big Klu]

who in the blue hell is Dovydas Neverauskas

If you told me he played for Pittsburgh, I would assume it would be for the Penguins.

[Ron Madden]

4 pitch walk to Winker. Has been on base 4 times tonight. Bases loaded

Love Winker hitting leadoff

[50YrRedsFan]

Winker should be the hitting coach. Not afraid to walk, and shows patience at the plate.

[RedsfaninMT]

Time for a 2 out hit for our guys!

Novel concept

Geno!!!

Tie ball game!

[Reds Fanatic]

Big hit. Suarez singles in 2 runs. 4-4

Wow. I can tolerate dumping on most any Red, including game and upper management, but even I think the Duvall bashing is wrong and premature.

I don’t bash Duvall. I bash those who think he is better than what he actually is!

[CaiGuy]

Finally!

[Tom Servo]

Genooooooooo

[ochoa30]

Thank you Geno!!!

[klw]

Not afraid to walk, and shows patience at the plate.
Do the Reds play him to walk?

[kaldaniels]

Damn throw Senzel into this mix and we’ve got a stew.

[Tracy Jones]

A timely hit!!

[Ron Madden]

'Atta Boy Geno!!!

[The Operator]

Joey grounds out but it's a whole new ballgame.

[CaiGuy]

Watch Price bring Gallardo in.

[The Operator]

Damn throw Senzel into this mix and we’ve got a stew.

Please tell me you're making a Carl Weathers on Arrested Development reference.

Because that would be awesome.

[Big Klu]

Damn throw Senzel into this mix and we’ve got a stew.

[jredmo2]

Gallardo time!

[Reds Fanatic]

Wow Phillies have now put up 20 runs on the Marlins tonight

I think we can all agree things may be rough right now but thank God we are not the Marlins.

[Ron Madden]

C'mon Quaker Hold'em !!!

[InsaneinthBrame]

Quack attack

[gagliano]

just wanted to say, for what it's worth, that i'm an old guy who loves to listen to the reds but doesn't always get the chance, but these game threads are great to catch up on later, the next day, whatever. our team looks pretty rough so far, but the educated, sometimes humorous, always interesting comments helps the medicine go down easier. keep up the good work, gents, and keep the faith!

[The Operator]

I was expecting someone to put up the pic.
I totally would have but my pone is being annoying.

[ochoa30]

Man we need Lorenzen and Hernandez back. Pretty rough a guy like this has to pitch in game we actually have a chance in.

Tough play for Winker. Glad he did not knee himself in that area.

[Ron Madden]

Clean inning for The Quaker!

[Reds Fanatic]

Michael Feliz in to pitch

[ochoa30]

Isn't Dickerson a butcher in the outfield usually? Not so against us of course.

[kaldaniels]

The lateness of Ervin on that high fastball inspires no confidence in him going forward.

[Reds Fanatic]

Reds go down 1-2-3 in the 7th

[ochoa30]

The lateness of Ervin on that high fastball inspires no confidence in him going forward.

It's a pretty good fastball and its 30 degrees outside super early in the season. I don't think the guy will be great but let's give him a few more at bats, lol.

[kaldaniels]

I’m a nice guy so I’ll cut him some slack but that was one late swing.

[Reds Fanatic]

Double switch. Peralta in to pitch and Hamilton in to play center and bat 9th

[CaiGuy]

The lateness of Ervin on that high fastball inspires no confidence in him going forward.

Thom keeps lobbying for more playing time for him...that's enough to take away my confidence in him.

[Reds Fanatic]

Good pitch. Peralta sets down the Pirates 1-2-3. 4-4 after 7

[ochoa30]

Nice inning Wandy!

[Roy Tucker]

Nice offspeed stuff from Peralta.

I don’t expect much out of Ervin. A 4th outfielder at best. On a bad team.

[The Operator]

Tucker singles off Kontos

[Reds Fanatic]

Leadoff single for Barnhart

Good bunt by Peraza

[The Operator]

Peraza bunts over Barnhart

[CaiGuy]

Arizona weather reference...drink.

[Tony Cloninger]

So the RISP master can drive him in. Cool.

[kaldaniels]

This is where Welsh needs to ask why you bunt in front of Billy.

I know he can’t come down too harsh on the club, but that’s a situation where he can throw some shade.

[The Operator]

TV crew talking up the new 3D batting helmets and right on cue Billy Hamilton's wishbone C falls off.

Classic.

[Big Klu]

Hamilton with a plain red helmet with no logo.

Not a fan of the "3D decal".

[Roy Tucker]

Billy with the generic red helmet.

[Ironman92]

Billy’s hitting is so bad they took his 3D logo off his batting helmet

[CaiGuy]

Billy’s hitting is so bad they took his 3D logo off his batting helmet

Its for improved aerodynamics.

[JaxRed]

ok you had the chance to employ Billy as a base running weapon and instead we use him as hitter.

[Reds Fanatic]

Infield hit for Hamilton as Harrison can't get the ball out of his glove

[The Operator]

Billy Havoc with an infield single!

1st and 3rd with one out for Winker.

[CaiGuy]

Why is Thom always stalking the kids in the stadium?

[Big Klu]

ok you had the chance tp employ Billy as a base running weapon and instead we use him as hitter.

He had entered the game in the previous inning as part of a double switch.

[The Operator]

Its for improved aerodynamics.

Just like Homer Simpson adding "speed holes" to his car. Makes the car go faster.

[CaiGuy]
