Amir Garrett told Danny Darwin and Jim Riggleman he's "good to go."

Will be ready if needed tonight

In case the game is slow you can always watch the cubs

I would love a series win. I think that would be huge.

Beautiful swing there. Love that from Peraza!

[Big Klu]

Suarez with a delayed steal of third!

[KeefeCato]

That was a very good-looking swing.

Suarez is on the cusp of being a super star. Guy stays healthy. Sky is the limit. Fun to watch.

[Kingspoint]

Teams ahead of the REDS in the Wild Card or Division Standings who already lost today:

San Francisco
Los Angeles
Either Philadelphia or Washington will lose

[Tom Servo]

bleh. Should have been the second out on a strikeout but the ball gets far away from Barnhart and the runner reaches.

[ochoa30]

Why is this a thing? Guy swings at a pitch so far out of the strike zone the catcher couldn't get it so let's give him first base, lol

This is the Disco slider I remember.

It's like the rule that allowed Mickelson to double-hit his ball.

Impressive by DeSclafani. ERA now down to 3.75 (I know, it has a large margin for error for indicating true performance, but still).

[Strikes Out Looking]

Y'all going to jinx these guys. I need to balance the thread with some negativity- they stink, Votto's overpaid, Suarez is stupid (he should have held out for more $$$), just wait till they have to play in Chicago and St. Louis and all of those teams fantastic smart baseball fans, blah blah blah.

[WrongVerb]

It goes back to the idea that every out must end with a clean fielding of the ball.

Good negativity there, nicely done.

I’d prefer the enthusiasm which has been missing for some time, for obvious good reason.

2-0 after two innings, Reds lead.

[Tom Servo]

ugh damnit. a little 2 out infield single, and than Aguilar again, who Disco couldn't get out in the first. HR. Tie game.

[Red Raindog]

I kept expecting that ball to hook foul

[ochoa30]

Aguilar is very hot right now. Bad luck with that scrub Broxton getting a cheap hit

[Kingspoint]

With DeSclafani's late start, there's no danger of him throwing too many innings, even though he threw none last season and only 128 the year before. He only had 22 going into tonight. At most, he finishes with about 150.

[Kingspoint]

Maybe the negative thing didn't work.

[Tom Servo]

oh man Joey is pissed, arguing with the catcher

[paintmered]

Break it up and play ball. No need to toss anyone over this.

[ochoa30]

Votto really needs to cool it. Pitch was borderline.

[Big Klu]

This is bad news for the league. Psycho Joey is getting warmed up.

[Kingspoint]

I said yesterday that Votto getting thrown out was a good thing, as I think it leads to him being even more focused, doing better against Lefties and has a .500+ OBP against the Brewers during this 4-Game Weekend Series. He's 0-2, but this will change quickly.

[Tom Servo]

Joey Votto Did Nothing Wrong

[Big Klu]

Votto really needs to cool it. Pitch was borderline.

This one wasn't even really about the pitch. It was about telling Kratz to mind his own business.

But it started because he was jawing with the umpire about the pitch for far too long

Riggleman prefers less base stealing and more double switches?

[ochoa30]

Brewers cant even hit the ball hard enough for reds to make plays

[Tom Servo]

Disco looks locked in tonight, handling lefty Thames without issue and through 5 now. Too bad that Aguilar HR was preceded by that little dribbler.

[UKWhoDey]

Maybe it's been addressed, but whats the reasoning for the yellow patch on the Brewers unis over the beer mug? Please tell me its not PCism.

[Kingspoint]

Sometime in my lifetime is going to be the greatest comeback in the history of the Cincinnati Reds Ballclub. This may be the year. A lot of little things need to happen. Milwaukee's pitcher getting injured is just another of the many things.

There's a beer mug on the Brewers uniform?

Disco gets Aguilar out! Starts the 6th. Just under 75 pitches. Gets two more quick outs.

I think I had forgotten what good starting pitching looked like.

You're right. The yellow patch Im seeing is just "background" coloring behind the lettering. The way the players uniform flared out when I saw it made it appear as if one of the letters had been blocked out.

But am I crazy....didnt they have a home or road uni where one of the letters was a beer mug??

[Big Klu]

If there isn't, there should be.

[Kingspoint]

You think back about this run of good starting pitching and it was Romano who got it started. The next guy copied him, and it's been a steady stream of quality pitching for 16 games now.

I don't remember a beer mug, but I think they used to have a patch shaped like the State of Wisconsin, which might look a little like a beer mug (especially if you have been tipping back a few of them).

oh man. Thames 3 run shot off Garrett. Damnit.

Should have walked him with Broxton on deck. Damn.

No....Im not wrong. Look at Eric Thames jersey. The "a" is covered up with a yellow patch.

[Tom Servo]

damn Disco deserved better than this

[BluegrassRedleg]

You serious with that pitch??? Man...

Why do we keep pitching to this guy?

Walk him. Drill him. Just stop pitching to him.

[Kingspoint]

Dang. We blinked.

[Mutaman]

Just put that pitch on a tee. mediocre fastball right down the pipe.

[ochoa30]

If you could pick the worst possible spot to throw a pitch to Thames, that was it. Gotta get the ball up and in.

[Mutaman]

No- just pitch decently to him.

[Tom Servo]

Disco had handled Thames masterfully all night too, just brutal.

[Redeye fly]

Walk him. Drill him. Just stop pitching to him.

In fairness Disco pitched to him more than fine. Maybe he is in Amir's head. I would think not since the Amir of last year and the Amir of this year are different guys.

Mostly just a crappy pitch.

Which, they don't have to walk him or drill him. Just stop throwing up meatballs to him.

3 AB's and 3 HR's. If he wasnt in his head he is now.

If you erase Thames production from the brewers against the reds do they ever beat us? Feels like he is always in the middle of them scoring. He has hit 13 homers against the reds in 20 games. Lol.

[Redeye fly]

Not quite sure how Suarez went around on that pitch.

Runner on second with nobody down. Brewers looking for insurance



And now a balk. Great

Winker actually had a pretty good AB. Tough to get a 3-2 breaking pitch from a guy throwing 96.

Somebody once said that in this park no lead is safe- but I think it was a Redleg pitcher who said it.

[mhs95_06]

With the 3 run gopher ball, Reds switched over to their lower tier relievers, and rightfully so.

[BluegrassRedleg]

Here's a silver lining: I'm kinda upset when they don't win now.

[mhs95_06]

Maybe Garrett really did need that 2nd day off that Riggleman said yesterday they were going to give him.

[Ironman92]

Ugh....they can’t hit this dude

Correct, and once he gave up the run that put them behind, they switched to Floro, a lower tier reliever, and he gave up the insurance run.

Blatant home cooking with them not holding him on. Nowadays, much of the time, they don't even give stolen bases in that situation when they are holding him on, trying to keep the double play in order.

[Kingspoint]

Haven't blew one in a long time.

Try again tomorrow.

You would think after all the HR's Thames has hit against the Reds someone could at least knock him down once. Do Reds pitchers ever do this?
