Reds lost this game, 1-7

[KronoRed]

Bill Selby...the 2001 Pennington.

[Tom Servo]

My favorite fact that I learned recently is that Ruben Rivera is still playing baseball in Mexico.

[Strikes Out Looking]

The good news is all four outfielders get to play, the bad news is all four outfielders get to play.

[Kinsm]

Who is Bill Selby?

[Donder]

Who is Bill Selby?

While with the Indians Selby hit a grand slam off of Mariano Rivera to complete a comeback from 7 down.

[Rantly]

Bill Selby...the 2001 Pennington.

Batting 2nd of course lol.

[texasdave]

If you add up all of the individual WAR totals for each player on the Reds, the total comes out to .1. Yes, this team, to date, is .1 better than a team of replacement players.

Better than I thought

[InsaneinthBrame]

The Starting rotation fWAR is -.7 worst in the majors. ERA is 5.44 so much for the addition by subtraction of Guys like Feldman/Arroyo/Bonilla/Adleman/Wojo ect average Starter era 4.16
Relievers fWAR -.2 (two bullpens are actually worse Royals and Marlins) 5.40

We might have a pitching problem.

that is painful

[Kingspoint]

Riggleman won two last week. Bet he does it again. In fact, I think he does one better and gets three this week, matching whoever that other guy was that as Manager before him

[KeefeCato]

I am on a island here by myself , but I prefer the DH. Teams are for the most part going to 8 man bull pens and 4 man benches anyway. I hate sac bunting and I hate seeing pitchers attempt to bat.
For every Madison Bumgarner there is 1,000 pitcher that hit .056

[Tadasimha]

Watching the Twins feed and Justin Morneau is making his debut as a commentator with classic deer in the headlights, where is the camera, style

[texasdave]

wrong forum sorry.

[cumberlandreds]

I was hoping Bert Blyleven was doing this weekends games for the Twins. But Morneau will still be better than Thom, I'm sure.

Why i am watching their feed

[kaldaniels]

Upper decker for Peraza!

[Tadasimha]

Razmania!

[Tadasimha]

Ball is carrying at Target Field tonight

[Ironman92]

Dang. Scooter looked like a double and Suarez a HR....not in that park

[kaldaniels]

Thom is going be slobbering over Molitor all weekend.

[KYExtemper]

Is it just me or does Castillo tend to get squeezed a lot by umpires?

[kaldaniels]

95,96,83 offspeed (of course), 83, 97 mph for Luis

[Baseballdad37]

Really Castillo??? You get a lead and you're ready give it back! So frustrating!!

[KYExtemper]

This shows me that MLB the Show is realistic. When I play as the Reds this crap happens regularly.

[Tadasimha]

RBI single right up the middle, runner scores from 2nd. No out, two on

Darwin making a visit to castillo

[KYExtemper]

I don't know how much more I can take of this during this year.....

[Ironman92]

Location location location

[Baseballdad37]

So much for the great Castillo!! Him and Finnegan are just plain awful!

[Tadasimha]

RBI double. Everything being hit hard

Groundout to 1st scores another

Pop up for 2nd out.

[Reds Fanatic]

Starting to worry about Castillo just does not look the same this year at all

[Baseballdad37]

Starting to worry about Castillo just does not look the same this year at all

He needs to go back to AA! Because that's how bad he is!!

[ScotlandRed]

He needs to go back to AA! Because that's how bad he is!!

Oh god not another one.

[KYExtemper]

Well, forget watching this game tonight.

[Tadasimha]

Homerun: 5-1

Might not be a homer - came off the wall. Crew chief wants to review

Call upheld - HR

[Ironman92]

Take a little off and hit a corner smh

Everyone throws 95+.....learn how to pitch

[Ironman92]

That’s gotta be the longest non-HR of the season

[Reds Fanatic]

Twins have batted around and still not out of the 1st

[Tadasimha]

Well, forget watching this game tonight.

[texasdave]

Alright, who bodysnatched Luis Castillo?

[KYExtemper]

Alright, who bodysnatched Luis Castillo?

Kevin Gregg?

[Red Raindog]

Alright, who bodysnatched Luis Castillo?

Let's hope there's nothing wrong with his body

[Ironman92]

Castilla would be a lot better if the ump would give him that just outside pitch they always call on Scooter

[InsaneinthBrame]

41 pitches in the first.

This game turned sour fast

[Kc61]

Let's hope there's nothing wrong with his body

Could be, but I wouldn’t worry too much. He threw 95 without too much effort against the last batter.

This isn’t easy, young pitchers, cold weather, guys are going to have rough patches. Leagues have seen him pitch for awhile, know what to expect.

Four very young pitchers in the rotation is unlikely to be smooth.

[Tadasimha]

So, Hughes has to be cold after waiting so long to pitch again, right? Might get him for one more

Wishfull thinking

[Rolando]

This isn’t easy, young pitchers, cold weather, guys are going to have rough patches. Leagues have seen him pitch for awhile, know what to expect.

The problem is he hasn't had any good patches this year

[Todd Gack]

Can Castillo bat for Billy....

Can Billy pitch for Castillo?

[Tadasimha]

Reds down 1-2-3 in the top of the 2nd

Leadoff double starts the bottom of the 2nd

[Big Klu]

OK, just got home and turned on the TV. (Listened to the 1st inning with Marty & Cowboy on the radio.)

First, Peraza doesn't hit many HR's, but when he does hit one, it goes a LONG way.

Second, had THom complained yet about Target Field not having a roof?

[The Operator]

So are we still not allowed to worry at all about Castillo?

Less velocity, less movement, giving up tons of base runners.


Looks like the boy is hurt.

[DocRed]

Wow..Castillo is really bad this year.

[Tadasimha]

Walk and Castillo is done. Two on, no out, believe K-Shack is coming on

[The Operator]

Shack gets Sano to GIDP

[M2]

So are we still not allowed to worry at all about Castillo?

Less velocity, less movement, giving up tons of base runners.


Looks like the boy is hurt.

Something is up. Can't dismiss texasdave's bodysnatcher theory.

[Reds Fanatic]

What an ugly line tonight for Castillo: 1IP, 6H, 5ER, 2BB, 0K

[mth123]

Wow..Castillo is really bad this year.

Needs to go down and work on his mechanics. He's all out of whack. Oh yeah, the Reds didn't add an arm to help anchor the rotation, so they may be stuck with Castillo for a while. Keury Mella is starting tonight. I think they should give him a look next time through the rotation. Castillo needs to go down.

[Reds Fanatic]

Of the many things I did not expect this season Castillo having a 7.85 ERA a month in is a total shock

[CaiGuy]

Castillo is so talented, but I smell an extended DL or minor league stint coming soon.

Hopefully the later.

[Tadasimha]

K-Shack gets no Ks but gets a popup to end the inning

[Tony Cloninger]

He needs to go back to AA! Because that's how bad he is!!

You tell them Daddy!!

[Tadasimha]

Something is up. Can't dismiss texasdave's bodysnatcher theory.

[DocRed]

Thank God for the invention of the DVR.....can't imagine if I had to actually watch this team in real time.

[Tadasimha]

BHam draws the walk

An "impardonable sin" per the Twins broadcast

- - - Updated - - -

Winker lines out to right

[Tadasimha]

Peraza bunts - out at 1st

Votto walks. Two on, two out for Scooter

[TheBigLebowski]

Knew it was too good to be true. No one gives away something that good for Dan Straily.

I’d say send him back to AAA, but why? No one gets developed in our system, and there is nothing to play for this year, so let him fix it here.

But this is the crappiest season ever.

[ScotlandRed]

I think Votto is really locked in. He’s walking a lot, the power is back and it’s only a matter of time until the average shots up as well.

[Tadasimha]

Scooter drives in BHam with a single to center, Votto to 3rd

Hughes is losing his location

[Big Klu]

Chris Welsh mentions the "80% rule" as Billy scores.

"80% of leadoff walks score, or at least it seems like it."

[kaldaniels]

I never would have guessed Garvin Alston is/was one of the most likable guys to ever play Major League Baseball.

Thanks Thom.

[Tadasimha]

Two out hitting - Geno plates Votto with a single, Scooter on 2nd. Schebler up

Schebs chases a high fastball and strikes out

[KYExtemper]

One swing and we're back in business......

But nope....

- - - Updated - - -

At least the offense seems to have found a bit of a gear. They've kept me watching.

[Ironman92]

Great selection by Schebler

[wical_29]

This is sad I turned it off and started watching the draft. This team has absolutely no pitching you can count on. A bunch of hopes and dreams and could’ve and would’ve should’ve pitchers.

[kaldaniels]

I want Schebler to be a great hitter but seeing him chase that 2-strike pitch up and away tells me the are still holes to be exploited.

[Ironman92]

Will be interesting to see which ends first....this game or the NFL draft

[ScotlandRed]

Schebler still swings a lot

[CaiGuy]

Amazing to see Hamilton walk that last inning. He doesn't seem very interested to swing at this point and Hughes still walks him? With a 4 run lead?!? I think he must have been unable to throw a strike at that point.

[Strikes Out Looking]

On Castillo - he's the same person he was last year, no bodysnatching happened. He's young, he had lots of success last year, he hasn't had much adversity in his rise to the majors, and he may not be 100% healthy. He probably needs to go to AAA and work out some stuff, unless the big league staff thinks they know what the problems are and can work them out in the majors.

It's probably time to let Garrett make a start, he's deserved it.

[Tadasimha]

Scooters Can Jump!

[The Operator]

Thom infatuated with the body and forearms of Sano

[Ironman92]

Way to drift Schebler.

[RedTeamGo!]

Is he the same person? His velo is down.

[Ironman92]

Thom infatuated with the body and forearms of Sano

Because he lightly tapped his teammate

[Tadasimha]

Long double off the wall - 1 out, 1 on

[The Operator]

Is he the same person? His velo is down.

That's what has me worried.

If he was still showing the same fastball and movement as last year I'd chalk this up to sophomore struggles. But his stuff just looks flat and he's lost 3+ mph on the fastball.

I think there is a legitimate injury concern here.

[KYExtemper]

Can't catch up guys if we can't stop the other team from scoring.....

[Ironman92]

Lol, great place to pitch a lefty

Morrison has been awful this year but tonight he is gonna break StatCast

[Tadasimha]

Logan Morrison RIPS a single to right off the wall for an rbi

Followed by another hard hit double that puts the twins up 7 to 3.

[Big Klu]

Has THom complained yet about Target Field not having a roof?

[The Operator]

7-3 on the Grossman double

[Mutaman]

On the bright side, two very good picks by the packers.

[KronoRed]

Will be interesting to see which ends first....this series or the NFL draft

Fixed that for you.

[Ironman92]

Stinks we don’t get to see Buxton play

[InsaneinthBrame]

Has THom complained yet about Target Field not having a roof?

Yes

[Ironman92]

Logan Morrison RIPS a single to right off the wall for an rbi

Followed by another hard hit double that puts the twins up 7 to 3.

I’m going 114.2 mph

[Ironman92]

Fixed that for you.

Why?

[Tadasimha]

Ground out and flyout ends the inning.

[Reds Fanatic]

Duvall just missed doubles off the wall in left

[The Operator]

Duvall with a double that the camera guy thought was 50 rows deep

[Reds Fanatic]

Without that strong wind that would be gone

[Baseballdad37]

Is our pitching this bad throughout the organization?? We can't get any good results from any of our young pitchers.

[Alf_Red_E]

Duvall you all

[wical_29]

Wonder what the overunder is on which franchise is worse the Reds or the Browns.

[Tadasimha]

Duvall with a leadoff double - he thought that was gone and so did just about everyone else

[The Operator]

Billy gets blown away by 89 mph heat in the heart of the zone

- - - Updated - - -

Winker!

7-4 game

- - - Updated - - -

Phil Hughes has left the building

[Mutaman]

Billy gets blown away by 89 mph heat in the heart of the zone

I have not dumped on Billy this year but gee wiz !! 89 MPH fastball down the pipe.

[Big Klu]

Maybe Winker really is Hal Morris!

[The Operator]

Maybe Winker really is Hal Morris!

You cued up that highlight reel didn't you!

[The Operator]

Geno loses a foul pop up due to the wind

[Ironman92]

That should be an error

[The Operator]

Um


What just happened

[KronoRed]

Buwahahaha.

[Tadasimha]

Scooter fumbles the relay and lets in a run

[GADawg]

I never would have guessed Garvin Alston is/was one of the most likable guys to ever play Major League Baseball.

Thanks Thom.

everybody knows that

[The Operator]

That was just an embarrassing play all around


Votto behind the runner and can't see the ball off the bat

Scooter let's the cutoff throw hit him in the leg


Good lord

[Patrick Bateman]

There is a reason scooter was available on waivers. He sucks at defence and is a platoon bat.


Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

[The Operator]

That error should not go to Schebler but whatever

[Ironman92]

Did Scooter roll his ankle or just decide he wanted to hacky sack?

Chris Welsh...runner moves from Votto’s view on the secondary lead

[The Operator]

David Hernandez makes his Reds debut


His first pitch crosses up Barnhart. Perfect.

[Ironman92]

Lol I can’t stop laughing at that first pitch cross up

[durl]

David Hernandez makes his Reds debut


His first pitch crosses up Barnhart. Perfect.

But it looked like a solid strike to me. Knee high down the middle. Not sure what the ump was looking at.

[The Operator]

Hernandez gets the K to end the inning to start his Reds career.

[Ironman92]

But it looked like a solid strike to me. Knee high down the middle. Not sure what the ump was looking at.

Barnhart’s seizure trying to catch it

[Rolando]

Two out hitting - Geno plates Votto with a single, Scooter on 2nd. Schebler up

Schebs chases a high fastball and strikes out

The third baseman and the 2nd baseman drop balls in the same inning. Wonderful defense

[The Operator]

Votto!!!!!!

8-5

[WVRedsFan]

Joey Votto amazes me.

[Rolando]

Yeah Joey!!

[The Operator]

Scooter with a single thru the left side of the infield

I just wonder where this stroke has been.

[NC Reds]

Votto is good.

[The Operator]

Suarez with a deep double

/mr and 3rd, nobody down

[Tadasimha]

Votto boomstick!

[The Operator]

I just wonder where this stroke has been.

Seems like Joey's homers always come in bunches. He can go a month without one then hit about 5 in a week.


Just my observation

- - - Updated - - -

Schebler!!!

8-7 after the double

[Reds Fanatic]

Schebler with a big hit. 8-7!

[WVRedsFan]

8-7. Slugfest?

[The Operator]

Thom with his head somewhere other than the game:

"And Schebler will tie this game with a 2 run double, and now we've got ourselves a one run game!"

[durl]

We have hits and runs! Now we need pitching!

[Tadasimha]

Votto with fourth homer in four games

Two rbi for Schebs and its a 1 run game

[Ironman92]

StatCast has Votto’s calibration at 94.3%

[ScotlandRed]

Thom with his head somewhere other than the game:

"And Schebler will tie this game with a 2 run double, and now we've got ourselves a one run game!"

Lol, good luck with that

Moveable object against the stoppable force


Exciting drama for everybody involved

[durl]

Thom shouldn't assume the pitcher will automatically get the out at 1B.

[kaldaniels]

I just noticed...only the top of the 5th!

Yeeeesh

[The Operator]

Tucker!!

Tie game after the sac fly

[Big Klu]

Marty's mic stayed live during the commercial break. He mentioned equine fertilizer in conversation before the production guys switched to the commercial.

I was just thinking you don't expect 2 lousy offensive teams to score this many runs against each other.

[Tadasimha]

Yeeeesh

Long innings - made it seem like it was later in the game.

[The Operator]

Billy Ball!!!

RBI triple makes it 9-8!

[Reds Fanatic]

9-8 on a Hamilton triple! Wild game

[NC Reds]

Billy?

[KYExtemper]

Something tells me this game might end up like 15-14 or something like Little League.

[Reds Fanatic]

And he scores on a wild pitch

[The Operator]

Billy Ball again!!

10-8 after he scampers home on the wild pitch

[durl]

Marty's mic stayed live during the commercial break. He mentioned equine fertilizer in conversation before the production guys switched to the commercial.

The guy in the truck switched his mic on early a couple games ago.

[WVRedsFan]

Billy scores for a two run lead.

[KronoRed]

Boo birds...and it's not Reds fans!

[Alf_Red_E]

10-8 two run lead will not last the rest of this game.... better get some more

[The Operator]

I think we can safely say that Votto's Homer to start the inning was not a rally killer.

[Ironman92]

Billy still pretty quick footed

[Tadasimha]

Billy wanted that inside the park HR

Gets the run on the wild pitch instead!

[Ironman92]

Something tells me this game might end up like 15-14 or something like Little League.

Little league pitching is helping

[The Operator]

Winker not pleased on that strike three call but looked like a strike to me

Certainly too close to take

[WVRedsFan]

This game is exhausting. You just know the Twinkies ill come back in the bottom of the inning

[Big Klu]

9-8 on a Hamilton triple! Wild game

Seeing Billy Hamilton hit a three-bagger is one of the more exciting plays in baseball.

(Deion Sanders also brought that kind of excitement when stretching a double into a triple.)

[Kc61]

Hope Jared Hughes is ready for a number of innings tonight. Again.

[Ironman92]

Billy wanted that inside the park HR

Gets the run on the wild pitch instead!

Billy wasn’t alone....I’m not sure every baseball fan in the world (including Twins fans) didn’t want to see Billy go all the way

[Tadasimha]

It was a strike, Jesse, dont get run for being mouthy

[The Operator]

Peraza aboard as Escobar couldn't come up with the grounder

[KronoRed]

Does Votto have a 2HR inning in him?

[GADawg]

8-7. Slugfest?

cool....i got nowhere to be

[WVRedsFan]

Peraza infield hit or error. Runner on first and Votto up for the second time this inning. Pitching change.

[Alf_Red_E]

Peraza aboard as Escobar couldn't come up with the grounder

These guys really stink at defense

Wow Twins are melting down

Duvall on 2nd after the throw heads to the dugout

how did our scouts miss Tyler Duffey?! shoulda been a Red

[NC Reds]

I’m not so sure I wouldn’t use Iglesias early tonight. Need to see some zeroes in their column and calm the storm.

Joey singles

1st and 2nd with 2 outs

10 batter mercy rule?

[Tadasimha]

This is much more fun than the bottom of the first

[WVRedsFan]

When Votto gets hot...

And Thom talks abut the cycle for Votto. Have mercy

[durl]

10 batter mercy rule?

No mercy.

[Reds Fanatic]

Infield hit for Scooter. Bases loaded

[durl]

This will be a 5-hour game.

"Now The Reds didn't make a big sexy splash and sign Lorenzo Cain, but..."But they did watch Horatio Caine in re-runs of CSI Miami

[BluegrassRedleg]

Thom: "The D-BACKS ARE ROLLING!!!" :laugh:

[Tadasimha]

Hernandez with the Wizard hoody in the dugout

[WVRedsFan]

So many infield hit tonight

[Alf_Red_E]

How many guys does this team have in their bullpen?

"Now The Reds didn't make a big sexy splash and sign Lorenzo Cain, but..."

I noticed that the Reds didn’t make a big sexy splash.

Might be something to try.

[The Operator]

Reds strand 2, 10-8 game middle of the 6th

[Big Klu]

How many guys does this team have in their bullpen?

Eight, I think.

[Ironman92]

smh Winker, nice Heisey imitation

[Tadasimha]

Winker might have wanted to show a leeeetle more patience there

[WrongVerb]

I noticed that the Reds didn’t make a big sexy splash.

That would require risk.

[Alf_Red_E]

I would have let Hernandez pitch one more inning

[The Operator]

Amir takes the hill

[Kc61]

That would require risk.

It would require spending money on a player outside the “Reds family.”

[kaldaniels]

The word you were looking for Thom is “coddling.”

[The Operator]

Thom talking about pitchers being babied in a game where a young promising starter got pulled in the second inning.

[kaldaniels]

A Donald Lutz mention.

Ugh.

[Kc61]

Garrett’s been used quite a bit lately. I’d like to see this inning end and get him out of there.

2Ks, good inning.

[The Operator]

Amir does the job

10-8 after 6

[kaldaniels]

If I was a RHH I’d be constantly nervous one of those pitches from Amir would take out my knees.

Which is a good thing for Amir.

[Tom Servo]

A Donald Lutz mention.

Ugh.
He hit that HR on Mother's Day once, my Lutz memory.

[Tadasimha]

A Donald Lutz mention.

Ugh.

What's the Lutzwaffe up to these days?

[KronoRed]

Garrett’s been used quite a bit lately. I’d like to see this inning end and get him out of there.


Same here, I'd like him to take a few days off and get Castillo's next start.

[kaldaniels]

We need a gif of Arroyo pumping his fist at his tablet.

[Reds Fanatic]

3 hits for Peraza

[The Operator]

Senzel with a nice night offensively tonight for The Bats

[Tom Servo]

Senzel with a nice night offensively tonight for The Bats
Raised his OPS 100 points.

[Ironman92]

I love that each of Votto’s HR have been slightly more attacked than the one prior.

[kaldaniels]

What's the Lutzwaffe up to these days?

Apparently the hitting coach of the Arizona League Reds.

Double ugh.

He is only 29!

3 hits for Peraza

Ok. I’m going to be monitoring this. Mayyyyyybe things will get interesting.

[RedTeamGo!]

What's the Lutzwaffe up to these days?

Hitting coach for the AZL Reds

[Tom Servo]

I'd like to see Peraza unleashed on the base paths more.

[The Operator]

Votto walks

The Platinum Cycle becomes a little less likely

[kaldaniels]

I'd like to see Peraza unleashed on the base paths more.

He first caught my eye in the Braves system...something like 70 SB one year in the minors.

[Tom Servo]

Two straight seasons of 60+ stolen bases.

[The Operator]

Suarez singles and the bases are loaded

[KronoRed]

Football outside = Awesome..Real Men Attend these games!

Baseball outside = Yuck! This should be outlawed.
