hopefully they get enough of a break in the rain to get the game in

Is Schebler nursing something or being punished? If Dusty was still around he could at least offer to date his daughter

Bereavement, dog.

See transaction list under the lineup and above the radar in first post

[Kc61]

BTW Scooter Gennett currently leading NL in batting average.

I like that he is 6th in OPS

[Red Raindog]

98 mph from Harvey?????

[BluegrassRedleg]

98 mph from Harvey?????

Interesting.

[Tom Servo]

98 mph from Harvey?????
Yeah and there was what looked like a 90 mph slider too. This is interesting.

[mhs95_06]

98 mph from Harvey?????

Maybe he had a bit more of a warm-up session trying to avoid giving up runs early, but doing better after the first couple innings.

[Big Klu]

I like you Chris, but I disagree with you on this one. Rizzo is an ass.

[GADawg]

i'm assuming Harvey is getting healthier and healthier....I wonder if he likes it in Cincy and if that is a road to try to go down to find that elusive #1 or #2 guy?

[Donder]

I realized a couple days ago that I don't remember hearing or reading a quote from Harvey since the week he joined the Reds. I'm surprised he's flown under the radar so far and wonder if he misses the spotlight or prefers it this way.

[Donder]

They need to get that damn bird out of the wiring.

[Big Klu]

Is anyone else having problems with the video, or is it my local provider?

Never mind, the technical difficulties graphic just went up.

[Kingspoint]

I didn't know Votto led the NL in batting average vs RH's (.349).

That's cool!

[MR X]

Anyone watching the game on Dish Network and getting constant freezing? It's also on MLB Network and guessing that's the issue.

[Big Klu]

It's on their end. I have Spectrum, and it's happening here too.

[JCM11]

Scooter was having a great ab, but chased ball 4.

[Ironman92]

That was pesky

[GADawg]

28 pitches for Hendricks....that's good at least....nice to see it happen to the other team

[RedlegsFanatic]

We all know the Reds have one of the worst records baseball, I just hope their record doesn't determine how many all stars Cincinnati gets.
It's not Scooter's, Suarez's, or Votto's fault the Cincinnati GM thinks rookie starting pitching will win MLB games.
Scooter and Suarez should be definite all stars, and Votto is a definite All Star if he played in Chicago, New York, or California.

[Kingspoint]

I expect to see Stephens pitch tonight.

[Big Klu]

THom has mentioned that Schwarber is from Middletown three times already.

1. Starting lineup
2. Attempt to catch foul ball in LF in bottom of 1st inning
3. First AB in top of 2nd inning

[GADawg]

i hate the Cubs....Rizzo, Contreras, Baez, Middletown Schwarber, Lester, and especially Maddon

just wanted everyone here to know which side i'm on for the weekend

[RedlegsFanatic]

I'm thinking about starting a petition to get Kelly Nash back to blonde.

[Kingspoint]

Leadoff man on.

Let's draw first blood!

[Big Klu]

The shift still messes me up. In my head I'm thinking that's a weak grounder to the second baseman by Suarez, but there was nobody within 20 feet of it.

[Kingspoint]

Winker is slumping again. Hope he can undo it in this series.

[Tadasimha]

And all the fans. New stadium rule: wear blue and you cant buy beer

[Red Raindog]

Thom double parked again

[RedsfaninMT]

I think we should arrange a trade of Thom to the Diamondbacks...

[Kingspoint]

That was bad.

[Ironman92]

Hendricks just completely lured Winker into hitting that exactly where he wanted him to

[Kingspoint]

Horrible start.

Great Park?

It sucks. Too small.

[Rolando]

Winker needs to be more aggressive at swinging at strikes

[GADawg]

i'm hoping that one day me and Brian Kenny will have to try to explain the whats/why's/where's of the ill fated shift to both our great grandkids

[Red Raindog]

Thom -- eggs & tomatoes don't go on the bottom with heavy stuff on top of it

[WVRedsFan]

Finally got home. I've been in SC since Saturday, and without MLB TV (Apple's problem) or At Bat, I was blacked out. And Thom has mentioned Schwarber, including telling a football story, reminding us how good he is and shouldn't risk injury, and bragged about him when he came to bat. I wish they would trade Kyle to the American League.

I wish they would trade THom to the American League.

[WVRedsFan]

Both

[Ironman92]

Danger Danger

[Rolando]

Winker is so bad on defense

[Big Klu]

6-4-yessiree-3!

[Tadasimha]

There ya go - nothing more across the plate with a DP.

Take your hacks and refocus, Matt

[mhs95_06]

Maddon's call for the runner to be moving on the full count did not stymie the double play!

[Tadasimha]

He's safe

[Ironman92]

Incredible throw. Don’t blame ump, good job replay

[CaiGuy]

Ah MLB...

It's 2018 and to communicate with HQ they have to have grandma bring a wierd box thing with the world's largest headsets.

Gran-ny! gran-ny! If this game goes 12 or 13 will she still be up?

[CaiGuy]

Will Maddon complain about the overturned call during the post-game?

My guess is yes.

[WVRedsFan]

Though he's had his problems, Harvey just looks like a MLB pitcher--a rare sight for a few yeara.

[CaiGuy]

Though he's had his problems, Harvey just looks like a MLB pitcher--a rare sight for a few yeara.

He looks decent today.

Those two base-runners who ended up scoring were kinda fluky.

[WVRedsFan]

out on 5 pitches that half. Joey took Strike 3, Scooter and Geno just easily gone. Mercy.

[Tadasimha]

Quit messing around with the pitcher, Mattman

[mhs95_06]

Joey was hot, Thom thought it was at the ump, but I can't see how unless Joey is delusional because all 3 of those strikes were well in the zone.

[Tadasimha]

Nice K!

[CaiGuy]

Heyward has started to hit, and its kinda annoying.

Hope he turns back to Heyward soon.

[Tadasimha]

Strand 'em!

I dislike Rizzo nearly as much as Molina

[Big Klu]

THom, proud Walmart alumnus of Ohio State, takes Chris to task for using the phrase, "dotting the I", in a way that doesn't refer to a halftime show.

Cincy hotel beds, FTW again!

Newport Travelodge!

[Tadasimha]

Dang it!

[Rolando]

Horrible bunt

[CaiGuy]

Russell was grimacing in pain after an awkward swing and for some reason Harvey was nibbling with 2 strikes. Just go after him! At least he got a call in his favor, it was ball 4.

[Roy Tucker]

Thom was an OU Bobcat.

[CaiGuy]

Not a bad start at all though.

Was hitting 97!

[WVRedsFan]

Harvey looked like he used to. Excellent start.

[Tom Servo]

Not a bad start at all though.

Was hitting 97!
Probably the best he's looked in any start looking, beyond results, and one of his better ones in terms of results too.

[Kingspoint]

Harvey did his job.

Offense needs to wake up. They are dead.

[Tadasimha]

Havoc time

[CaiGuy]

Bring the Havoc!

[Kingspoint]

Great start to the inning.

Some clutch hitting is needed now.

That's as unclutch as one can be there by Peraza.

[Tadasimha]

Need contact, JV

[Big Klu]

Thom was an OU Bobcat.

Yes, I'm aware of that. (I'm a proud OU alum.)

THom, though he graduated from OU, is what some of my Bobcat brethren and myself call, "a Walmart alumnus" of Ohio State. He brags about his intense fandom of all things OSU, though he never attended there and probably bought his Buckeye shirt and hat at the local Walmart (hence the name).

He was also probably one of the guys on campus who skipped the OU football and basketball games so he could watch Ohio State on TV.

[Kingspoint]

Reds, other than Votto, continue to be abysmal with RISP.

[Kingspoint]

Hamilton was practically standing on 2nd when the batter swung. Unbelievable.

[Tadasimha]

Good eye, Geno! 2-1

[Kingspoint]

Good eye, Geno! 2-1

I'll take that.

[CaiGuy]

Geno gets paid to walk.

[BluegrassRedleg]

Thom :laugh::laugh::laugh:

[Big Klu]

Blinky lights!

[Red Raindog]

Winky Blinky Lights

[BluegrassRedleg]

WINKER SALAMI!!! :beerme:

[Tadasimha]

Boomstick!

Tonight they're winky lights

[Kingspoint]

Slump Buster!

Winker!!!!!!

Grand Salami!!!!!!!

[WVRedsFan]

Holy crap!!!! Jessie hit that ball. HR!!! 5-2 REDS

[mhs95_06]

What Hendricks was trying to avoid with Suarez, Rosario didn't with Winker!

[JCM11]

Winker gets a free pass for a month for hitting a slam against the scrubs.

[Kingspoint]

In this inning, Hamilton walked, Winker Slams and Duvall singles!

[Redeye fly]

Sure would be nice if Winker had some power.;)

[CaiGuy]

Nice!

I think the latent power is there in Winker. I hope he will be able to tap into it consistently.

[durl]

I enjoy seeing Reds cross the plate. Especially at home against the Cubs.

[NC Reds]

I will be in Cincinnati for the rest of the series, but regret not getting there a day early now.

[durl]

Cubs managers are going for frequent flier miles to the mound.

[Big Klu]

Winker is now tied with six other players for 220th place on the Reds all-time home run list with 11. Some of the more notable names with whom he is tied are Bob Bescher, Chuck Dressen, and Billy Hatcher.

[Kingspoint]

Congrats Blandino.

Everybody gets mentally healthy this inning (except for Thom).

[CaiGuy]

Congrats Blandino.


Go Stanford Cardinal Baseball Go!

[RedlegsFanatic]

So happy for Winker getting his 1st salami!
1st walk off and now 1st slam. I love it.
He is going to be SO good!

[Kingspoint]

It's a 4-game series that I so much want to win, and winning the first game is critical.

[Redeye fly]

Thom might be traumatized for a while that Hendricks walked in a run and Rosario had a rough inning.

[Big Klu]

Phillip Ervin now in RF, replacing Winker.

Michael Lorenzen now pitching.

[Tadasimha]

C'mon, 'Zen, put em out of your misery.

[CaiGuy]

Ugh, Heyward. Go back to sucking at baseball. Thanks.

[Big Klu]

THom is deranged.

[CaiGuy]

THom is deranged.

For the love of God...stop stalking the children man!

[Red Raindog]

THom is deranged.

I turned the sound off -- what's his derangement tonight?

[CaiGuy]

Thom proposed MLB rule changes:

--No mound visits
--No pitching changes
--6 inning game
--Home by 8:00

[BluegrassRedleg]

Oh boy...

[Mutaman]

Think Mikie should have thrown a fastball with Rizzo on deck.

[BluegrassRedleg]

Sounds like Thom needs to broadcast Little League.

[Big Klu]

Hates visits to the mound.
Hates that pitchers walk batters. (It's like they do it on purpose just to piss him off.)
Obsessed with little blond kid who got a foul ball and gave it away.

[Strikes Out Looking]

That was a great pitch by Garrett.

[Ironman92]

Wow!

[CaiGuy]

Garrett is so good.

Thom needs to spend more time obsessing about players like him, and less on mound visits and kids at the game.

[Strikes Out Looking]

Rizzo stunned looking at strike 3

[Redeye fly]

Lol, Tucker running excitedly back to the dugout before the ump even called it strike 3.

Great job by Garrett though.

[Mutaman]

Go St johns. Very nice pitching.

[Big Klu]

Good morning, good afternoon, and good night!

[mhs95_06]

Garrett took Rizzo to school like Hendricks did to Votto!

[RedlegsFanatic]

1-2-3 bye bye Rizzo!
Still wish Thom would quit using the "Goodnight Irene" phrase. Too corny lol

[Kingspoint]

Sweet job by Garrett! Love seeing the number "6" in the bottom of the 6th boxscore.

[CaiGuy]

I hate the Cubs.

[mhs95_06]

Think Mikie should have thrown a fastball with Rizzo on deck.

Right at the letters after fooling around with all those low breaking balls!

[RedlegsFanatic]

The Reds need to quit so many games though.
Before you know it, we'll have the #9 draft pick instead of a top 3.
The top 3-4 are the difference makers normally.

I hate the Cubs.

With a passion!

[CaiGuy]

Garret is a future closer. A villainous one.

Go ahead and trade Iggy for prospects.

[CaiGuy]

Duvall must be a super nice guy. All of the Reds announcing just fawn over him, despite the fact that he is the low-average high-strikeout guy they usually slam.

[Big Klu]

THom is seething over the fact that Jim Riggleman has chosen to make a pitching change.

[Tadasimha]

THom is seething over the fact that Jim Riggleman has chosen to make a pitching change.

He's mad he doesn't get paid by the hour

[Strikes Out Looking]

Thom really disappointed that the Reds aren't faltering against the Cubs onslaught.

He's also kinda creepy in his comments about various fans and players. He should be on some type of watch list.

[Big Klu]

What is the kid in red in the front row behind home plate doing?

I never tire of this one

[WVRedsFan]

So good to beat the Cubbies. And Harvey gets his first win with the Reds. Great homecoming for me.

[CaiGuy]

I am OK with these Cubs fans coming down and spending their money in the city.

I am also OK with sending them home disappointed.

Great win! Its a streak!

[Redeye fly]

Lamb seems to kind of morphed from stoned surfer looking dude to wandering hobo hippy. Or at least he would with some facial hair.

[UKWhoDey]

Who is this team? I love it. You could see the give a damn in the guys tonight. Looked like we were having fun too. Keep it up Reds!!

[Red Raindog]

didn't he beat Pittsburgh earlier with the Reds?

[Redeye fly]

didn't he beat Pittsburgh earlier with the Reds?

Yes it's his second win as a Red.

[Tadasimha]

First home win?

On pace for 63-99.

Reds just passed the Marlins, so they no longer have the worst record in the NL. So there's that I guess.

[WVRedsFan]

Finally!

Sad Cubs fan is sad

[Red Raindog]

First home win?

sorry - no -- looked it up -- beat Pitt on May 22 at Cincinnati

[mhs95_06]

Reds win 2nd straight game by similar methods:

Starter goes 6 innings and gives up 2 runs.
After starter throws their last pitch of the game, the Reds have a big bottom of the 6th, involving home runs that tie it and take the lead.
Reds add on runs and the bullpen closes it out.

[WVRedsFan]

Yes it's his second win as a Red.

Old brain forgot about Pgh. Always try to forget that place!

[Old school 1983]

The most disgusting thing just happened. I opened RZ and the advertisement had a Cubs hat in it.

[GADawg]

If the Reds can pull one out tomorrow night I predict fisticuffs by Saturday with a butt hurt Cubs team

[Kingspoint]

On pace for 63-99.

There it is!

I wish I could post a pic of thr Knights climbing out of the cellar, but I looked last year and again now, and can't find it. Of course, they haven't climbed out of it, yet, but I have the same feeling.

Need a Wonderboy bat. Winker's Slam. Votto's Slam. Duvall's Slam.

[Kingspoint]

Reds just passed the Marlins, so they no longer have the worst record in the NL. So there's that I guess.

Awesome! If it was one Division, they'd be climbing out of the cellar like the New York Knights. Winker used the "Wonderboy" bat tonight.

[UKWhoDey]

Must bd the Riggleman effect or not.
I agree. Price was never the answer. Not saying Riggs is, but at the very least I don't think he's the problem. Price just never seemed very likeable. Riggs has that old school demeanor. Hopefully we keep this up and make it am attractive position for whomever we hire as new manager next season.

[Hoosier Red]

I will be in Cincinnati for the rest of the series, but regret not getting there a day early now.

I like your odds much better now that Homer Bailey Swivel-head night was cancelled.

[Mutaman]

Must bd the Riggleman effect or not.

To all those millions of RedsZoaners who said replacing Bryan Price would not make a difference, its made a difference.
