Good looking first for Romano with a pair of strikeouts.

[Reds Fanatic]

Game is on nationally on ESPN tonight

[Tadasimha]

Covey can lose command easily - they could open this game up quickly

[757690]

Will be an interesting matchup when Covey faces Duvall in today’s game.

With diabetes under control, pitcher Dylan Covey tries to stick with White Sox

[Reds Fanatic]

Reds go down 1-2-3 in the first

[CaiGuy]

8 more just like that please ;)

[Reds Fanatic]

1-2-3 inning by Romano. Also a really good conversation with Votto on the ESPN broadcast.

[CaiGuy]

8 more just like that please ;)

So far so good

[757690]

Votto interviewed by ESPN. Most interesting note for me was Votto saying that he “feels” balls and strikes more than sees them. When it’s a ball, he says it’s feels so far away, he’s not comfortable swinging at it.

Yoda would be proud.

[Reds Fanatic]

Scooter just missed fly out to track in center

[Reds Fanatic]

Reds go down 1-2-3 in the 2nd. 0-0 after 2

A baseball is smaller than a womp rat in Beggar’s Canyon. (They’re actually kind of large — bigger than Votto.)

QUI-GON: Had he been born in the Republic, we would have identified him early. The Force is unusually strong with him, that much is clear.

[Wonderful Monds]

why lmao

[Reds Fanatic]

4 Ks now for Romano as Anderson steals 2nd

[Wonderful Monds]

I love the “3D” effect on the Sox logo on their batting helmets, that’s very nice

[BluegrassRedleg]

Pitchers continue to kill Barnhart. His CS % has dropped from 44 last year to 27 this year.

[Wonderful Monds]

dammit

[Reds Fanatic]

Moncada homers. 2-0 Sox

[BluegrassRedleg]

Creeper Fox Ohio Jinx strikes again.

[Red Raindog]

Yeah
Got to throw him a strike

Moncada beats the Reds again. 2-0 White Sox.

He's a pro hitter.

[BluegrassRedleg]

"He swings and misses more than anyo... " BANG

2-0 Sox.

Never fails.

[Reds Fanatic]

Nice play by Votto. 2-0 White Sox mid 3rd

Sounds more like Bruce Lee.

Honestly, still can’t believe Duvall has been as bad he’s been.

[ochoa30]

Reds doing a great job getting Tim Anderson some work

[Wonderful Monds]

Can Duvall do a feet first slide then? Seems like that would either wreck the pump or more grossly, potentially rip out wherever the IV is.

Oy - 9 up 9 down

[Reds Fanatic]

Reds go down in order again in the 3rd. 2-0 Sox after 3

[BluegrassRedleg]

Then Scooter comes in the room and says "Hokey hitting philosophies and choking up is no match for a good grip-and-rip."

[Wonderful Monds]

Man, I wish I had gotten way more into that 2015 All Star game, but I just absolutely did not care at the time.

[Tom Servo]

Gotta get to Covey the second time around, he’s really not very good.

[Wonderful Monds]

Romano suxxx

[BluegrassRedleg]

Nice advance scouting on Palka.

[Reds Fanatic]

A long homer as Palka continues to crush the Reds the last 2 nights

[Baseballdad37]

I guess Romano is going back to being awful again, as our hitters do nothing in the first 3 innings.

[757690]

Palka loves GABP. Reds should trade for him.

[Baseballdad37]

Gotta get to Covey the second time around, he’s really not very good.

While our hitters are making him look like "Tom Seaver"!

[ochoa30]

I'm ready for Robert Stephenson. Atleast he can strike people out. Not sure why this guy is still up.

[CaiGuy]

Everbody and their mom knows that Homer is going to come back up. Now everybody and their mom knows who's spot he is taking.

(I think Romano could end up being an average-ish innings eater, but he also needs more time in the oven.)

[BluegrassRedleg]

Palka loves GABP. Reds should trade for him.

He'll have to take a number. ;)

[Reds Fanatic]

Leadoff walk by Schebler

[Gandalf the Red]

I was expecting to see Votto show up for this at-bat wearing a helmet with the blast-shield down.

[Reds Fanatic]

Votto singles to left. 1st and 2nd

[Tadasimha]

Lil something cooking - turn up the heat!

[ochoa30]

Be nice to see some early fireworks for the offense here

McCarver is still a blowhard on ESPN in case you were wondering

[Tadasimha]

I feel a great disturbance in the force - as if a grand slam could happen


Two run single is good too!

[Ironman92]

Votto continues to be the worst base running superstar I’ve ever seen.

[757690]

I believe it’s Sutcliffe, who also is still a blowhard.

thank you Reds

[Reds Fanatic]

Perfect squeeze play. 6-3 Reds

[Tadasimha]

Squeeze! Good job, Sal!

[BluegrassRedleg]

Nice suicide squeeze! 6-3 Redlegs.

[Reds Fanatic]

That is it for Covey

[Big Klu]

Big Sallie with a suicide squeeze to score Duvall!

[NC Reds]

Wow. Great squeeze. Ballsy.

[Ironman92]

I said safety squeeze but Riggleman balzy there with a suicide with pitcher batting. I do like it was on a 2-0 with him STRUGGLING and mound visit. Great timing, Riggleman good at that. Still balzy trusting pitcher...he misses and out at home and pitcher likely ends inning.

[thatcoolguy_22]

The suicide squeeze!! The Reds have been playing fun baseball fo the last few weeks.

[Reds Fanatic]

Schebler strikes out swinging. 6-3 Reds after 4

[ochoa30]

They should have a very quick hook for Sal. Dont want a repeat of last night.

[Baseballdad37]

Is Romano going to give it right back?? Maybe not!!

[Reds Fanatic]

5 Ks for Romano

[Tadasimha]

Focus in, Sal - shut em down

[Reds Fanatic]

6 Ks. Runner to 2nd on the wild pitch

[Reds Fanatic]

Sanchez doubles to left. 6-4 Reds

[Ironman92]

6 Ks. Runner to 2nd on the wild pitch

This sucked. Momentum switch

[Reds Fanatic]

Ground out to 2nd. 6-4 Reds mid 5th

[ochoa30]

Another sub par start for Romano. Atleast we still have the lead though.

[CaiGuy]

Can't wait for Votto to break out of this funk and destroy the league again.

[CaiGuy]

They have like 2 bench players...how bout no double switches.

[reds44]

Riggleman needs to chill with pitching Amir everyday

[BluegrassRedleg]

Garcia had 36 hits entering tonight's game. It feels like he's had 10 vs the Reds.

* Looks like he missed a considerable amount of time earlier this season. But he's doing a number on our pitchers.

[757690]

Amir has been a little off since he was hit in the knee by a line drive.

I’d rest him a bit, maybe even DL him just to be safe for his future.

[Alf_Red_E]

Does anyone else think the Reds should sell high on scooter?

Isn't he about to get expensive? His replacement is on DL for the rest of the year

[Kc61]

Riggleman needs to chill with pitching Amir everyday

It’s three days in a row, although Garrett had three off days before that.

With middle of the order up, I’m not too upset about it. Tomorrow is an off day, I believe.

[Alf_Red_E]

After his last performance Amir has some work to do

[757690]

Grandpa Simpson.. I mean Suttcliffe,whining about how it was better when he was pitching, and pitchers were manly men.

[Kc61]

Garrett allows a double then shuts them down. Good inning for him.

[BluegrassRedleg]

Here's Rondon again, an absolute walk machine if the Reds will be patient.

[CaiGuy]

Here's Rondon again, an absolute walk machine if the Reds will be patient.

8 ERA...Would like to see that go up today.

Hard to do with this ump. Another awful stikezone today.

"Bid" McPhee thinks Sutcliffe was a sissy for using a glove

He’s the White Sox version of Jumbo Diaz, in more ways than one.

[NC Reds]

That looked gone to me.

[CaiGuy]

Da Wink!!!

[Tom Servo]

Looked like a dang HR

[CaiGuy]

Bummer...if they were were true fans they would have grabbed it before it bounced back onto the field. ;)

Were's the crew review or whatever it is now???

[ochoa30]

Looked like a dang HR

Nah, it clearly bounced off the yellow only. Didnt hit the cement.

[BCubb2003]

Seems to me the yellow should be the home run. At least you can see it better

[Tadasimha]

B-Ham in to run and Lorenzen at the plate.

Foul pole should be called a fair pole too

[Tom Servo]

B-Ham in to run and Lorenzen at the plate.Don’t like or really get pulling Winker for Hamilton here. Too early for a defensive replacement and Billy’s speed here isn’t essential in this situation.

[ochoa30]

Freaking bum couldn't even hit another homer there, ugh

[CaiGuy]

Don’t like or really get pulling Winker for Hamilton here. Too early for a defensive replacement and Billy’s speed here isn’t essential in this situation.

Big defensive upgrade for 3 innings in two spots vs maybe 1 more AB for Winker. I don't mind it.

[Rantly]

Freaking bum couldn't even hit another homer there, ugh

And can't sustain or build on his 2.881 OPS

[ochoa30]

And can't sustain or build on his 2.881 OPS

I know, obviously too busy working on his pitching. Slacker.

[Tom Servo]

Hopefully it works out fine, but we’re talking an already short bench. Just didn’t seem like an essential move at this point.

Oh no, Lorenzen in.

[Tadasimha]

Sutcliffe made an interesting point about Lorenzen batting - having to stop warming up and come in to get ready to hit and that it might affect his pitching

[Kc61]

Talk about overworking a reliever, Lorenzen hasn’t been that sharp, I wish he could have some rest.

[BluegrassRedleg]

THERE's Tucker Barnhart. Finally a pitcher gave him a chance.

[Tadasimha]

SEOTEO!

[ochoa30]

Sutcliffe made an interesting point about Lorenzen batting - having to stop warming up and come in to get ready to hit and that it might affect his pitching

Yeah, IIRC this is the first time he has ever done this. But a big double play there, nice!!!

[Kc61]

Just back on Lorenzen, he threw 27 pitches last night. Nice inning, got out of it tonight, now let Michael rest until Friday.

[Red Raindog]

Tuckered out

I think he did it once a couple of years ago.

[ochoa30]

I'm guessing Iggy is unavailable tonight so Hughes?

[Kc61]

I guess Iglesias may be rested tonight. He pitched three straight days.

That could keep Lorenzen in the game a bit longer, he has Hernandez, Hughes, Crockett.

He has the guys brought up today.

[Big Klu]

Some insurance runs would be nice

Boog needs to push away from the training table!

[BCubb2003]

I wonder where Jim Day grew up? He turned “hill” into a two-syllable word.

[Strikes Out Looking]

They can all rest in November.

[Kc61]

Chisox 2,3,4 hitters up in eighth, all switch hitters. My guess is Lorenzen starts the inning and Crockett/Hernandez getting ready. Then Hughes in the ninth.

[Big Klu]

I wonder where Jim Day grew up? He turned “hill” into a two-syllable word.

I think he's from the Columbus area.

Just checked. He was born in Westerville.

[ochoa30]

Nice pitch there for the K of Sanchez.

[Kc61]

Crockett and Hughes in the pen. One out in the eighth with Lorenzen still out there.

Abreau fouls off 3-0 pitch down two runs. Not sure about swinging there.

Walks Abreau pitch in the dirt. Tying run coming up, still one down.

Pitching change. Double switch. Hughes in.

[ochoa30]

Just cant walk the guy there

[CaiGuy]

Couldn't resist the double-switch any longer...

[Kc61]

Just cant walk the guy there

Yeah, particularly Lorenzen got to a full count. He obviously lost the pitch, threw it in the dirt, but that’s a pretty bad walk.

[ochoa30]

It's just these next 2 guys have killed us.

[klw]

Does Riggleman know he can change pitchers without doing a double switch?

[Kc61]

Garcia, RHH, I called him a switch hitter before, incorrect.

Hughes could use the ground ball. Blandino in for Gennett in the double switch.

Hughes with a walk, two men on.

[CaiGuy]

Does Riggleman know he can change pitchers without doing a double switch?

I didn't mind bringing Hamilton in because the Duvall-Sheb-Wink OF alignment is so dreadfully bad, but there's so little gained by taking Scooter's bat out of the game.

[ochoa30]

Another walk, come on

[Tadasimha]

Need to roll em up, Hughes

[ochoa30]

Big K!

[Kc61]

Scooter made the last out in the seventh. In a nine inning game (not extras) he’s unlikely to bat again.

This double switch allows Hughes to pitch an extended outing without hitting.

It’s not a bad one, as those things go.

Hughes gets a big K, two outs.

That's true. Hopefully that spot never comes up.

Or if it does it's during the 8th.

Riggleman hopes that Hughes is the final pitcher of the game for the Reds, but he doesn't want Hughes coming to the plate. (The #9 spot is due up fifth in the bottom of the inning.)

Great throw by Billy!! That's why you put him in

Sometimes certain managers and players make good judgment calls. In Riggleman's case, it's more often than not. If the Reds, as I expect, hire someone else, He has earned a job somewhere.

Reds have won 11 of 14 and are on a nice roll. This road trip will be a tough one though. They are going to three places that have been very hard to win, Chicago,Cleveland and St. Louis. If they can manage five wins in this stretch it would be wonderful and a nice way to go into the all star break.

[traderumor]

I have to agree with a post I saw criticizing Riggleman for doubleswitchamania. He is overusing it and is getting burnt on who is in the game when the bullpen coughs up a lead or a late rally is needed. Sometimes it works out, but he is switching out guys you want hitting late in the game, whether its for add on, late rally, extra innings, or catch up. A double switch is usually needed once in a close game, he's doing it 2-3 times a night.
