[RedTeamGo!]

Hey Sally, how about a hit tonight, for ol Times sake.

[mth123]

Reds have their best line-up out there with Romano on the mound.

[WrongVerb]

Will WrongVerb be in the house?!?

Not tonight. I'll be at the afternoon game on Wednesday, though.

[Boston Red]

Not tonight. I'll be at the afternoon game on Wednesday, though.

With your two favorite teams playing, I figured you'd be there for all three! :)

[KronoRed]

Bullpen of the week is an award?

[GADawg]

here we go again....late night....i go into work in the mornings of these west coast trips and my employees whisper behind my back that I'm bound to be on something

[WrongVerb]

Unfortunately life circumstances conspired to make that impossible this year.

[Reds Fanatic]

Reds go down 1-2-3 in the 1st

[Tadasimha]

Sounds like a good excuse to get on something

[Reds Fanatic]

McCutchen with a 1 out double to left

[kaldaniels]

I’ll kick off the madness...

Double all the way but Winker looked like a real outfielder playing that off the wall.

[Reds Fanatic]

Posey walks. 1st and 2nd

- - - Updated - - -

Belt with a deep fly out to the wall in center. Would be long gone in most any other park

[BluegrassRedleg]

Big Sal is fooling no one early.

Good grief, Sal. Unreal.

[WrongVerb]

Yeah I think Sal needs to take these lumps in AAA.

[BluegrassRedleg]

I mean, seriously, it wouldn’t kill you to avoid the center of the zone. Bloody hell.

I agree

[RedTeamGo!]

Disagree.

[Tadasimha]

Not watching tonight - there was an early mound visit per gameday - does Sal look like he's dealing with an injury?

[ochoa30]

Yeah I think Sal needs to take these lumps in AAA.

The guy had a bad inning. Hes been very good in May. Not saying hes a future ace but even the best guys give up runs sometimes.

Not that I could see

[GADawg]

McCutchen with a 1 out double to left

shoulda hit him like the old days

[ochoa30]

Sal's problem which Welsh somewhat alluded to was his pitch mix. I dont believe he threw one pitch for a strike in that inning that wasn't a fastball. That's not gonna work. He was much better against the Mets but not so early tonight.

[Reds Fanatic]

2 out double for Schebler to left

Got one back!

Romano with a double.

Big Sal swings bat, is dangerous.

Romano doubles down the left field line. 2nd and 3rd

[Tadasimha]

Patience, Billy

[GADawg]

2 out double for Schebler to left

he honestly looked like he did that on purpose....looked over there before the pitch and forced it out there

[kaldaniels]

Keep slapping it the other way guys.

[Reds Fanatic]

Billy flies out to right. 3-1 Giants mid 2nd

[KronoRed]

Billy puts an end to the inning with a fly out.

[ochoa30]

Let's hope Sal can settle down. I think he will.

[Rolando]

Now shut them down Sal!

[Ironman92]

That’s not how you spell Janish

Ok soft J himself

[GADawg]

That’s not how you spell Janish

Ok soft J himself

Janish should've just gone to the house after that and remained a legend

[Reds Fanatic]

2nd K tonight for Sal

[Big Klu]

THom is trying to bully a guy named "Benny the Bull" into giving a thumbs up.

Sounds hazardous to one's health.

[kaldaniels]

Cutch all over Sal.

[BluegrassRedleg]

Sal has been completely clueless with Cutch tonight.

[Reds Fanatic]

McCutchen doubles in another run.

[ochoa30]

Command just isnt there tonight at all. Every pitch is over the plate or way off.

[Reds Freak]

Sal has no idea where the ball is going tonight. He's all over the place.

[GADawg]

wonder how long it takes to drive from Athens(home of the Dawg's ya know)to San Fran....I gotta get there by the 19th to get me one THEM corduroy caps

[Red Raindog]

Sal has no idea where the ball is going tonight. He's all over the place.

I know where I'm going

good night

bring home a winner

[Tadasimha]

Make this guy work, fellas

[Rolando]

Winker has gone in the tank

[kaldaniels]

Votto running “gingerly.”

[Reds Fanatic]

Votto doubles but it looks like he might have hurt himself on the swing

Scooter hit it hard but lines out to left

Actually a single and E7

“It didn’t look like he was able to push off with much authority...well there’s no sense in speculating we have no idea.”

[RedTeamGo!]

Winker is in a slump during his rookie campaign and is a human being

FTFY

[Big Klu]

“It didn’t look like he was able to push off with much authority...well there’s no sense in speculating we have no idea.”

But that's never stopped us before!

[Reds Fanatic]

Romano is fooling no one tonight. Giants continue to hit it hard

[WVRedsFan]

Th more Sal pitches, the more runs they'll score. He doesn't have it tonight.

[GADawg]

never thought I'd ever wanna see Jackson Stephens come into a game but I think I'm ready tonight....let Sal rest up for next start

[Reds Fanatic]

Just batting practice right now. Another double

[WVRedsFan]

This is about to be a butt whipping.

[kaldaniels]

It’s a pitchers park but those balls down the line just stay by the wall...not many fielder friendly richocets tonight.

[Joeyjection19]

Big Sal is fooling no one early.


Romano is fooling no one tonight.

Middle name J is fooling no one later.

[Reds Fanatic]

Tomlinson singles in 2 runs. Now 6-1

[BluegrassRedleg]

Turrrrrible.

[WVRedsFan]

Get Sal out of there,

[BluegrassRedleg]

It's almost been Tee-Ball for the Giants tonight.

[Rolando]

Turrrrrible.
Sal is just not a good pitcher.

[ochoa30]

Yeah, really awful start for Sal. Couldn't locate anything effectively and the giants made him pay. That 1-2 pitch was amazingly bad.

[kaldaniels]

Gonna have to earn back some of my trust Sal.

[Rolando]

Plus he walked Austin Jackson after a 0-2 count. He is probably just a stop gap

[50YrRedsFan]

Giants showing the Reds how bad the Dodgers are playing right now.

[ochoa30]

Giants showing the Reds how bad the Dodgers are playing right now.

Giants have been awful as well. Sal really sucked tonight. Be interesting to see the next few games.

[Rolando]

Riggleman definitely left him in too long

Romano's era took a beating. 3.83 to 4.84

Cancel the playoff tickets.

[WVRedsFan]

Riggleman definitely left him in too long

Tough to pull a pitcher after 2.1 innings, but I would have had them out of there after the second inning. Saving the relief staff, I guess, but with the game pretty much over, you can look back and see that he should have got him out of there.

[Big Klu]

Reds just won 6 in a row, including 4 straight in LA and it took 2.1 innings for the game thread to jump off a bridge. :laugh:

Well, it was fun while it lasted.

Now back to your regularly scheduled programming.

[kaldaniels]

I like Big Sal but he is the one pitcher who if he makes it I’d be like “wow they pulled a rabbit out of their hat.” with him.

I don’t see him leaving the rotation anytime soon so he will get his chance. Chin up Sal.

[KronoRed]

Guy just walked a relief pitcher on 4 pitches.

[WVRedsFan]

Tucker!

yeah, I know the feeling. My wife is from Pittsburgh, and though she couldn't care less about the Pirates, and if she upset with me because of something else, I catch hell.

[kaldaniels]

Got a ballgame I believe. Giants pitchers suck too.

[BluegrassRedleg]

That swing may best summarize Billy Hamilton's career to date.

[WVRedsFan]

I sometimes wonder if Billy knows the strike zone

[WrongVerb]

Mine's not even upset. She just loves giving me **** when our sports teams play each other. She was loving this weekend when the Reds swept the Dodgers.

[Rolando]

Winker looks so bad recently

[ochoa30]

What happened to Winkers plate approach? Probably trying to hit a homerun but this isnt the way. Hes swinging at bad pitches he just wasn't swinging at the first month

[Powel Crosley]

I'm going to have a problem if Votto has a serious injury.

[kaldaniels]

Votto out of the game.

[Tony Cloninger]

And now Votto is out for some reason. Can 1 game undo all the good that happens during the 6 GWS?
If you’re the Reds it does.

[BluegrassRedleg]

Thom: "Hey, Kershaw, you suck in the playoffs... Not knocking you or anything, but you suck in the playoffs."

[kaldaniels]

Thom throwing shade at Kershaw for lack of playoff performance.

[KronoRed]

Votto out of the game.

[M2]

Can Winker play 1B? Because if he can, I'd have him there and Duvall in the OF.

[kaldaniels]

THom: "Glavine and Maddux, they were good. But they didn't step up when the Braves needed it."

Can’t make this stuff up.

[Big Klu]

Thom throwing shade at Kershaw for lack of playoff performance.

And also at Glavine and Maddux.

[M2]

THom: "Glavine and Maddux, they were good. But Smoltz was the only one to step up when the Braves needed it."

I believe Tom Glavine has a tape of the 1995 World Series he'd like Thom to watch.

[WrongVerb]

Really Thom? So glad I've got the not-delusional Giants announcers tonight.

[storer50]

THom: "Glavine and Maddux, they were good. But Smoltz was the only one to step up when the Braves needed it."I came here specifically to comment on this lunacy. Does Thom even watch baseball?

Well I’m superstitious so I blame the switch to my Winker winky avatar, but it’s probably him being young and looking for consistency. It happens.

[Big Klu]

According to Baseball-Reference.com, Winker has never played 1B at any level.

Duvall, on the other hand, is making his 151st career appearance at 1B (all levels).

[KronoRed]

Only when he's forced too.

[reds44]

I don't think Votto's injury is serious, but i really hope they don't plan on playing with a 3 man bench (one of which is Tony Cruz) for the next couple days.

Get Dixon up here and send down Stephens after you try to squeeze another inning or so out of him.

[Tom Servo]

So who’s ready for “it’s his knee vs it’s his quad” 2014 debates round 2

Bad luck for scooter. He hit that ball very hard.

[JaxRed]

"A toe injury is an arm injury to a pitcher" (blast from the way past)....

BTW Kremchek has misdiagnosed Votto's injury. (and he hasn't even looked at it)

[Big Klu]

How can a guy who grew up in Cincinnati (only 100 miles away from Louisville) pronounce it, "Looieville"?

[ochoa30]

Stephen's doing a nice job tonight

[kaldaniels]

I like how the Cowherd/Whitlock promos just tell it like it is. Cowherd and Whitlock are trolls - deal with it.

[50YrRedsFan]

Looked like Bochy just said "dammit" and he came out of the dugout.

[Kinsm]

Giants pen might give us another W

[ochoa30]

Not bad for a whipping boy

Yeah, not sure he can start but looks like he could definitely be a long man

[redsfaninbsg]

Who is pinch hitting?

[Big Klu]

Who is pinch hitting?

R. Herrera

[JaxRed]

Respect the Hand!

You have a better memory than me. I could not remember his name...

[kaldaniels]

Speaking of 2012 draft is Travesio ever gonna come off the MILB DL?

[ochoa30]

Wish Riggleman would get Herrara some more AB's. Tough to be effective hitting once or twice a week. Plus, hes a former top prospect. There could be something there.

[M2]

Most painful name in baseball - Pierce Johnson. What were his parents thinking?

[redsrule2500]

What happened to votto

[Tom Servo]

Speaking of 2012 draft is Travesio ever gonna come off the MILB DL?
Presumably at some point, but it seems he fell into the black hole that got Moscot.

[ochoa30]

What happened to votto

Lower back Tightness

[Tom Servo]

Lower back tightness.

Gut reaction is that’s better than the leg, but we’ve seen back issues reak havoc with a lot of guys too. It’s why Rizzo’s numbers are in the toilet rn.

[kaldaniels]

What happened to votto

Giants PA announcer said lower back tightness according to Thom.

I guess him calling out Rob Butcher earlier didn’t help.

[Big Klu]

Lower back Tightness

Hook him up to the muscle stim.

[ochoa30]

Billy needs to make contact there

[BluegrassRedleg]

Why would you do that??? Only ensures that Hamilton is going to go bat again. :bang:

[M2]

What happened to votto

Back injury. Shouldn't have ordered that venti at the coffee shop.

[Kinsm]

well that sucked

[WVRedsFan]

Why would anyone try to steal or hit and run with Billy at the plate? Recipe for disaster.

[redsfaninbsg]

I've had back issues for 20 years. I'd rather it be a leg.

[JaxRed]

Brice was staring into my soul.....

[KronoRed]

Actually agree with Thom here, send the sick guy far far away from the rest of the team.

[kaldaniels]

in honor of the SCOTUS ruling today I just put a few bucks on the Giants tomorrow after that Mahle info.

[JaxRed]

Gotta agree. Mahle should not be there.

The National Grump Service has issued a Thom Grouchy Warning until 10 p.m. PT for Marin County, Calif.

[Edskin]

Makes little sense for your SP for tomorrow to sit in a dugout all night if he’s not feeling well. Not sure I understand unless Thom is exaggerating.

[BluegrassRedleg]

If he was actually "sick," he wouldn't be there. The way it was described, sounded like allergies, common travel issues. Probably staying in the Mold Marriott.

for all of you who hate Marty (I listen to the game on the radio rather than watch it - so I get Marty) you had better hope he's around for a long time.

Because it appears that you hate Thom even more and he's very likely going to replace his father.

I don’t consider myself a Marty fan but I put him on the other day when grabbing a bite to eat during the game and I’ll take him talking about stuff from 1974 any day over Thom’ms nonsense.

Still I hope they do boot Thom to radio so I don’t have to hear him anymore

[KronoRed]

Exactly why they will switch to the simulcast thing when Marty goes, then everyone will get the Thom all the time.

[reds44]

Oh no

Oh no

oh yes.

[ochoa30]

To be fair to Floro it may have been a very different inning if Peraza makes that first play.

What is the Mahle info?

[reds44]

To be fair to Floro it may have been a very different inning if Peraza makes that first play.
Not really lol. He would have given up 2 earned runs instead of 2 earned runs and an unearned run

[Tom Servo]

What is the Mahle info?
He's sick.

[ochoa30]

Not really lol. He would have given up 2 earned runs instead of 2 earned runs and an unearned run

You're assuming things would have happened exactly the same way but we will never know.

[ochoa30]

Why does Peraza not understand that if you're going to swing at the first pitch you dont just try to hit a bloop to the opposite field. The guy gives away so many AB's.

[BluegrassRedleg]

That SF second baseman has some whack-ass footwork.

However, that's how earned vs. unearned runs are determined.

It's not about being perfect. It's about learning from your mistakes. Hes been the same guy for 3 straight years. Would be nice to see some improvement. Excuse me for trying to make discussion on a message board bruh.

Peraza's kind of hard-wired. He got here by swinging at everything and he's likely to keep swinging at everything until there's a serious cost for taking that approach (like his career is on the line).

[ochoa30]

Peraza's kind of hard-wired. He got here by swinging at everything and he's likely to keep swinging at everything until there's a serious cost for taking that approach (like his career is on the line).

Honestly I think he'd be a great utility player. He has some good skills but nothing worthy of a starting position.

He should play every day this I see no problem with that. Just don't hand him a job next year without improvement.

Sure, I don't disagree with that.

I wasn't talking about Peraza specifically either, I'm just saying Peraza and Winker are still young and, yes, will struggle at times. It doesn't mean you need to give them endless rope, but we also don't need to start panicking over every bad week.

That good BP didnt last long, lol

Giants now have more runs tonight then the Dodgers had in the four game sweep.

But your right the Reds need to level headed and judge them at the end of the year.

There's a difference between the Monongahela River and San Francisco Bay. A ball is more likely to float (at least for a little while longer) in salt water.

ERA raising night

odds of finishing .500+ for the year goes from 0.000001 to 0.0000001.

From Reds PR...

Reds pitchers have allowed 7 doubles in a game for the first time since 5/31/16 at Coors Field (17-4 loss).

I feel like that was the Daniel Wright game

[ochoa30]

No one has ever confused Stanford University with freakin Samford. Shut up Thom.

[Rolando]

Jon Moscot I believe

[Kinsm]

36K show up for tonight's game.

The Reds would have to pay people to get that many on a Monday night at GABP in May

[WVRedsFan]

Could not sleep. Came back and it's worse. Hamilton up and gets a hit. It's 53 on the water in SF. I would have probably left, too. It's 68 here. Why people live in SF is a mystery

[Tom Servo]

Jon Moscot I believe

Turns out we're both right, though you're more right. Moscot started and got absolutely lit up, and then Wright came in and was almost just as bad.

[ochoa30]

Very nice AB's for Winker in his last two times up

[Big Klu]

THom does.

Phil Ervin: Samford alumnus.
Alex Blandino: Stanford alumnus.

And THom will continue to beat us over the head with that info.

Duvall certainly can drive a ball when he gets a hold of it.

[Tom Servo]

Duvall! :jump:

[BluegrassRedleg]

That had to feel good for Duvall.

The irony of Thom talking about people confusing words tonight is not lost on us.

[ochoa30]

Shame the BP couldn't lock it down today. 7 runs should get you a win every night.

[Tom Servo]

We're bad again.

We'll get back on the horse tomorrow. G'nite all.

Evidently last year's 10 o'clock hiccup has moved to 1:15 a.m.

[WVRedsFan]

Duvall with 7th HR, 20 RBI and in a slump. Maybe he's the son of Adam Dunn?
