6/24/18 Reds vs. Cubs

[NebraskaRed]

#Reds lineup: Schebler 9, Barnhart 2, Votto 3, Suárez 5, Gennett 4, Duvall 7, Peraza 6, Romano 1, Hamilton 8

[membengal]

Actually planned my day to be available to watch this one. Been awhile since I have done that for a Reds game..

[bleedsred]

Oh boy, how nice it would be to send all those Cub fans home with a sour taste in their mouth. Lot of has money, hotel $, dinners, and ball park expenses to watch their team get swept by the Reds....MAKE IT HAPPEN!

[JaxRed]

Sure want to see a third straight good game by Romano.

[NebraskaRed]

The no-hitter ends before it can begin with a leadoff single

[JaxRed]

Almaora singles up the middle as leadoff hitter. Heyward grounds into a force on first pitch. And Baez does the same on first pitch.

[Ironman92]

Careful on first pitches today Sal!

[NebraskaRed]

it appears that the Cubs' gameplan is to swing at the first pitch

2 outs in 4 pitches

[Tom Servo]

7 pitch inning, pitch to contact works!

[JaxRed]

Rizzo hits it hard but Reds had shift on and Scooter throws him out. 7 pitch inning.

[Tom Servo]

Welcome back Scheb, single on the first pitch

[Ironman92]

Tucker fooled...tip your cap and get him next time

[NebraskaRed]

Joey walks

[Tom Servo]

damnit Joey

this is the last time the Cubs will be at GABP this season and I'm sure that makes Ian Happ very sad

[RedlegsFanatic]

I didn't know Jerry Lane was born in and from Pikeville. That's where I live and from.
There was a Giants shortstop by the name of Johnnie LeMaster from Pikeville that had a decent career in the Big Leagues.
LeMaster had a sports and sporting goods shop in Pikeville for years.
I want this 4 game sweep over the cubs so bad I can taste it. Big Sal is only going to get better and better.

Hawk Harrelson just messaged me and is watching the game. He wanted me to let all of you guys know about Almora at home

He Gone.

[Kc61]

Outings against weaker hitting teams, KC and Detroit, seem to have given Romano a dose of confidence.

He seems very much in control out there today, even though he’s given up some hard hit balls.

Would be great for him to keep it up, his ground ball tendencies make him potentially valuable at GABP.

[RedlegsFanatic]

Billy is such a great center fielder, it's easy to forget he came up as an infielder.
There were a lot of Reds' brass that said no way Hamilton will ever be a good outfielder.
He converted to get PT

He's looked great so far. Makes a life time Reds fan such as myself VERY excited about the future.

He's been more decent than bad this year (ERA was at 3.83 on May 13), it was that stretch from mid to late May where he got absolutely lit up that really soured things.

Schebler came back from his leave with too strong of an arm!

That's his biggest issue, imo. He seems to completely lose focus when he gives up a run, especially later in the game.

Hopefully, over time, Romano will avoid that home run pitch. Seemed like a real cookie, a very bad pitch.

Middle innings, a few runs score, pitcher might get distracted or lose his edge.

At least Sal gave it 4 solid innings today, after two very good outings, so it’s a learning experience and get ‘em next time.

Maybe so. Outfielders lives for those WOW plays. He got a good jump (as always) got back as good as he could and timed his leap the best he could on that hard hit double.....and knowing you are going to land awkwardly going down towards ground when hitting wall makes it nearly impossible. Duvall is an elite left fielder and that pitch sucked bad.

So since THom called out the pitching staff in the second inning yesterday for playing Home Run Derby instead of doing important things like bunting, they have hit two bombs.

I agree. I saw how much of a high it was when Tucker got that tag out at home to preserve the shut-out for then. But when Duvall didn't make that catch to bail him out for the 3rd out, he must have went equally down and despondent, lost his focus and started throwing meatballs.

Yes, when a hitter goes the other way and hits it sharply, you'd much rather he be rewarded for a hit than on a just as sharply hit pulled ball.

[mhs95_06]

Today and the last 3 years

I think it became obvious how bad Joey was at base-running, especially when it came to decision making and sliding, a couple years after he came up when Dusty and them were talking about him stealing more bases. I think it was maybe that same year or the next when he hurt his knee with a really bad looking slide into 3B, and after that he lost a lot of his power, especially to his favorite LCF.

Why IS Joey such a terrible base runner? He's so meticulous about his play in all other areas, but he seems like he doesn't have a clue sometimes when it comes to the bases, he barely leads off the bag, doesn't seem to watch the runner ahead of him and not sure he even looks at Billy Hatcher coaching 3rd.

[mhs95_06]

In the immediate post game celebration, both Tucker and Mr. Red looked comfortable in their headgear!

[Big Klu]

On pace for 67-95.

Reds now 29-27 under Riggleman and 29-24 since the shock of the first series after Mr. F-word was fired.

How bad was Bryan price for this team? I mean, damn.

[Strikes Out Looking]

What's the record since Homer's boo boo knee showed up?

[WrongVerb]

Hate to say it but the reality check begins tomorrow night.

I like this new reality.

[RedlegsFanatic]

How bout these fighting Riggleman's?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Amazing what a difference a manager can make.
The Reds set themselves back 5-7 years the day Dusty was fired and Price was hired.
I'm just so glad he's gone.
The future is bright folks! Very exciting.
4 games sweep over the hated cubbies. I love it!

[mhs95_06]

It took an undefeated home stand to push the Reds' home record up to being better than their away record!

[WVRedsFan]

How bad was Bryan price for this team? I mean, damn.Just a few of us knew it from the start. He just had no baseball IQ. He had favorites who just cost the Reds wins time after time. No examples needed because it was obvious. He presided over a dead team. No fire. This team now has fire. Riggleman might be a stop gap, but he has taken this team from the dead to life.

I've said it for 3 years now...
Worst manager in MLB history. I almost fainted when the Reds actually gave him another year this past off season.
I was always flaming mad the day they fired Dusty and hired him.

I hear you but I discount the “shock” effect you refer to. Let the whole record stand.

[mhs95_06]

Since we're talking time machine today, I'd like to know what would have happened if they would have hired Riggleman instead of Dusty.
