That Stanford Cardinal player gets another start and leadoff position again today. Game time is 3:40 PM.

[Tom Servo]

I get going more right hand heavy against Corbin but you might as well have fully committed and put Dixon in over Schebler in that case.

Pretty big start for Sal.

[Ironman92]

Gonna be a blowout

[powersackers]

Lead in to the game was our terrible performing outfield. I think the Fox producers read RedZone. Though it's not like you have to dig much to figure out how comparably terrible they've all been.

What's Big Sal's O/U today for first-inning runs allowed?

- - - Updated - - -

There's 2. I was going to say 2.5 for the o/u.

[Red Raindog]

Just might need to take a nap this afternoon

[NebraskaRed]

Sal's last start? or one more after this

[Tom Servo]

Pretty big start for Sal.

Three batters, three balls crushed.

How is this guy not in Louisville right now???

I don’t mind the day off for Scooter at all....just don’t give any other reason. It’s a scheduled day off. Day made it more feasible he thought by saying you gotta have a day off sometime....he’s on pace for 155 games....there’s a lefty on the mound.

Scooter is 28 and in great shape and hitting lefties great this year. I want Votto to play 160 games, Suarez 158 and Scooter 155.

I do like seeing Blandino getting a start at 2nd. Need to learn more on him.

[CaiGuy]

Like...exactly?

Could be some fatigue/soreness or something going on. I assume that factors into off days.

[Tom Servo]

21 runs now allowed by Sal in his last 13.2 innings.

I love Suarez.

He said scheduled day off. Again, I don’t mind and anytime a guy needs a day off...do it.

I just don’t like the two reasons Day gave that I feel he just came up with on his own

[NebraskaRed]

I'd have to check but I don't think that's good

[Tom Servo]

We just gotta get Duvall going.

Suarez missed 16 games on the DL. He ain't making it to 158.

[JaxRed]

Productive out......

[NebraskaRed]

Duvall just needs 300 or 400 more chances to get going

- - - Updated - - -

Scheb just needs 300 or 400 more chances to get going

[NebraskaRed]

ok, past performance shouldn't be entirely ignored, but it also shouldn't override more current performance.

Also, Duvall has not hit for a while now. Not just the start to this season.

[Ironman92]

Suarez missed 16 games on the DL. He ain't making it to 158.

I’m well aware....just saying

Easier to argue Votto more days off as he’s in his mid 30’s. But he can play as much as he wants.

Also, Adam Dunn was lazy [emoji3]

[Tom Servo]

Also, Duvall has not hit for a while now. Not just the start to this season.
.212/.277/.385 in the second half last year. So that's nearly 500 PAs now of well below average production.

If I were meaner, I could harken back to the sarcastic "Duvall regresses another one over the fence" stuff directed towards anybody skeptical of his longterm success. But I am a nice boy.

[Ironman92]

Ugh, Thom with his shirt off

Chicks were hot though

[NebraskaRed]

sometimes Billy looks like he's holding a bat possessed by a ghost or demon that's trying to get away from him.

[Big Klu]

Two Ohio Bobcats in that footage (though only one that we claim).

[Ironman92]

I like you Sal...I really do but it’s time to be sent down.

[Ironman92]

Let’s see how bad Duvall and Schebler are

Schebs is due for a 3 run Jack tho

[Tom Servo]

Suarez is so good. Lefties barely stand a chance to get him out.

[powersackers]

I have a though on Suarez but am going to keep it to myself for about another month. It won’t be popular.

[Ironman92]

Duvall is an F- so far this big AB

[Ironman92]

Duvall is an F- so far this big AB

Haha....finish strong

[BluegrassRedleg]

Duvall SALAMI 4-4 game. :beerme:

[CaiGuy]

Why would any pitcher throw a strikem or anything but a breaking ball to Duvall?

edit - nevermind then

[NebraskaRed]

I take back everything I said about Duvall

[BluegrassRedleg]

Haha....finish strong

That's FSO Hex quality there, man. Keep it up! :laugh:

[Tom Servo]

Grand slams don't count any extra in the slash line, but they sure make you feel better.

[Ironman92]

Replay showed he adjusted below the zone to mash that curve...it wasn’t a bad pitch at all.

Good job Adam [emoji122][emoji122][emoji122]

I know but don't remind me, it's really depressing that in 2018 you still have the face of the Reds (the manager) regularly talking about the importance of Duvall's 100 RBIs

Did it cross anyone else's mind to pinch hit for Romano?

Are you guys watching this game on Fox Sports Ohio? My Suddenlink in Marietta, OH is claiming it is not on the leased access channel it normally is on because it is the network's problem. I'm telling them they forgot to switch it to FSO. They are saying there is nothing they can do!

[Ironman92]

Nice play by Peraza

Mine went out for 5 min due to a storm but am watching on FSO

Did you check some of those higher up channels? 2-3x a year I have to watch them on there

[Kinsm]

Sal had a .280 BAA all though the minors, this was to be expected.

[Umkubas]

Romano thru 4 innings in 74 pitches.

FSO here.

[NebraskaRed]

hey, he didn't immediately give up the lead again.

[Kingspoint]

So, Iglesias was activated. Who got demoted because they won't get rid of Bailey? I didn't see a thread about Iglesias.

[Ironman92]

I know but don't remind me, it's really depressing that in 2018 you still have the face of the Reds (the manager) regularly talking about the importance of Duvall's 100 RBIs

I need him to have about 130 batting behind Votto, Scooter, Suarez

Jesus Reyes

Turns out it was just a failure to communicate. Iglesias was fine the whole time. It was his interpreter that had forearm tightness.

[Red Raindog]

There's the Duvall we've seen most of the year --- swinging at dirt balls --- but ---- the dinger was sweet

[BluegrassRedleg]

Holy cow, Schebler crushed that. It's 6-4 Redlegs.

[Red Raindog]

Scott might have gotten a hold of that one......

[Ironman92]

Holy StatCast!

[Ironman92]

I said last AB Schebs was due for a 3 run blast.....he only got 2 but was the distance worthy of 5 lol

[Kingspoint]

There's the Duvall we've seen most of the year --- swinging at dirt balls --- but ---- the dinger was sweet

Dude has a nasty Slider that all in the majors swing at even when it's in the dirt. That one got away from him and stayed up and Schebler made him pay for it.

[JaxRed]

I'd prefer Dixon to a sac bunt...

[Big Klu]

[Tom Servo]

Obviously doesn't make up for the rest of the putrid May but Peraza is showing signs of coming out of the slump, third straight multi-hit game.

[Ironman92]

That Schebler blast reminded me of the blast that back up Reds dude hit that sailed out of GABP

Can we please get a Starter for Centerfield so Hamilton can become the perfect bench player that he is?

We seriously can't trade Senzel for one? Thought the idea of drafting BPA was so you could trade away the excess for equal value at a position of need.

[JaxRed]

I thought that ball was gone...

[Red Raindog]

I did too - as did Marte -- must be his drugs wore off

A bad team trading it's best young prospect just doenst make sense. They won't be good any time soon so why not hang onto the guys that will be here the longest? Teams very rarely trade prospects for each other and nobody is trading a young pitcher or center fielder who's having success in the majors already.

[BluegrassRedleg]

Have a game, Scott Schebler. :beerme:

[Red Raindog]

nice running catch by Schebler to end the inning

[Ironman92]

Peralta needs a DL stint for rest. This is his 30th appearance already

[Ironman92]

Holy StatCast!

Huh? Edited for profanity? What did it say?

Chris says Schebler runs like a fullback. Well, #43 is a good number for a fullback.

20% catch probability. That was a very big catch.

[Ironman92]

Votto shifts one through the empty left side

[Kingspoint]

Nobody has done to Corbin this year what we did to him today. Only once had he given up more than 3 runs, and that was 4 runs.

Good job, Cincy.

I have to say that there have been a couple of flyouts (one to RF, and one to LF) that would have made me very nervous if Winker had been out there instead of Schebler or Duvall, respectively.

Sam LeCure looks dumb in a suit

Yosemite Sam never wore a suit (well except that onetime he was trying to court granny who just won $50 million dollars)

I will respectfully disagree with you -- he tried to bunt for a hit it appeared to me -- he was very late showing the bat

Peraza made a bad bunt. It happens.

Time for an inside the park HR by Billy

Doesn’t require calling him names. It was a bad bunt.

Ah! Billy scorched one headed to rattling around in the corner and the 3B robbed him

[Kc61]

Over and over and over again with this team.

(not that I think Peraza should ever be bunting)

Peraza generally bunt ok. Of course, the Reds then seldom drive the man in from third.

[Kingspoint]

Is that the 3rd or 4th time Hamilton has ended an inning this afternoon?

[mhs95_06]

I will respectfully disagree with you -- he tried to bunt for a hit it appeared to me -- he was very late showing the bat

That is twice in about a week that Peraza had a sacrifice situation and tried to bunt for a hit and popped it up! But if he would have sacrificed, they would have walked Scooter and then got Hamilton out like they did in the end to end the inning.

[Ironman92]

Amir is learning how to pitch

[Tom Servo]

I hate Descalso

[Ironman92]

Not having seen the game, are they overshifting on Votto?

A couple times yeah. They have someone as SS shaded a touch closer to 2nd than normal. He check swinged one to the 3rd base side and last time hit one well to the 2nd base side

[BluegrassRedleg]

Where was that first pitch to Goldschmidt???

[Ironman92]

Damn...Tucker nearly dies on a cross up

[Ironman92]

Iglesias at 22 pitches after a ten day DL stint. Hope he can make it through.

One out on the foul pop.

[Tom Servo]

Looked high....showed to be in top of Foxbox
Easily hit the top of the zone on Gameday
