Today I prefer a win out of nowhere late in the game to make the Cardinals fans maybe boo at some point.

[GADawg]

A lot of Red in the stands in St. Louis....Cincinnati fans really travel!

[Tom Servo]

That was a really good slider by Flaherty to get Schebler swinging, wow.

[Ironman92]

Welsh with a bit of a backhanded compliment at Peraza

But that was a good hit

[Ironman92]

Same one should take care of Scooter

[Ironman92]

I think Joey fools my watching baseball timing on the slow side more than Billy fools it on the fast side.

[GADawg]

We always hear about how good Molina is vs the running game but is he still really? He was the best 3, 4 years ago but in not so sure anymore

[Ironman92]

Votto home to first 4.78, seemed slower but I’m irritable a bit

[GADawg]

Castillo on his game early

[Ironman92]

Not when I watch. He calls the best game imo.

[Tom Servo]

yikes, it begins

[RedsfaninMT]

Future posts on Thom will veer into the "beating a subject to death" realm and will be deleted.

[JaxRed]

I was like..."No way that's a double play"...... but it was.

[Ironman92]

Rain delay

[Tadasimha]

Suboptimal but limited damage

Rain delay

Been like that where i live - mostly clear, maybe some clouds then: boom, rain and lightning

[The Operator]

Why did they gen start the game just to call a rain delay this quick?


That's silly.

[Ironman92]

I was like..."No way that's a double play"...... but it was.

I thought bang bang he beats it...but nope lol

[Ironman92]

Not a big cell near St Louis but it’s significant

[Ironman92]

34-25 since May 8th

It’s been fun and refreshing

[Tom Servo]

If you're looking for something to watch durning the delay that could be Reds relevant, Zack Wheeler is going for the Mets right now against Washington.

I think seeing that just shows that games in April absolutely matter. The Reds have been fantastic since then but there's just no digging out of a hole that big.

If they can get back to .500 by the end of the year I'll consider it a wild success. But then I'll still be watching Dick Williams with a very critical eye heading into the offseason with regard to the rotation.

It is beyond time to put up or shut up. We can't afford to go into 2019 with a rotation full of "if he can put it together" and "if he could just get healthy" or we'll be dealing with the exact same thing again. Build a real starting rotation that you can count on.

I always wanted Wheeler for Bruce but we might have done better the way it turned out. Still can't remember who was responsible for that deal falling through.

I think it was both sides, though possibly more the Mets given Wheeler's public desire at the time to stay in NY. Of course with how everything has turned out I would like to have Wheeler right now, but he missed all of 2016 which was not the plan and had a rough go of it last year. He's just finally now rounding back into form, much more of a sure thing than he was three years ago.

Reminds me greatly of my college GPA....but I worked hard and made it to playoffs as a wildcard

[JaxRed]

Wheeler stands there like a hitter.

Edit: He does pretty good. (He's no Lorenzen...)

[GADawg]

So wife and 5 year son off to Target and beyond, 2 year old daughter taking nap, and Daddy with margarita in hand settles in for peaceful Reds game.....damn rain!

[Ironman92]

Well, Servo....I nailed that one

[Tadasimha]

Eat shift and die.

[ochoa30]

This kid for the cardinals looks good unfortunately

[757690]

Scooter’s defense seems to have stabilized lately.

And Billy’s defense remains “wow.”

[Ironman92]

Billy still on his magical run.

[Ironman92]

Really really does, but they are gonna break their hearts late! Schebler I believe

[Ironman92]

Scooter’s defense seems to have stabilized lately.

And Billy’s defense remains “wow.”

Man there are a lot of balls hit to his fielding area....it sure seems

[Ironman92]

Casali with a Janish

[JaxRed]

That Billy catch was just ok to me.....not like last night.

[Tadasimha]

Well, they really made him work that inning!

[Ironman92]

Catching up for the rain delay.

Boys are swinging. Commentators can hardly get a quick story in

[Ironman92]

That Billy catch was just ok to me.....not like last night.

It was a tough play because of how it was off bat....Billy’s route was sub par, jump wasn’t great (gotta freeze and read some of the ones off the bat).....closing speed to catch the sinking gapper was impressive. A lot of OF guys get highlight plays on those all the time....Billy’s earned a handful of those highlights.

But that play might not crack his top 100

[Ironman92]

That Billy catch was just ok to me.....not like last night.

Eric Davis would’ve had time for his glove taps off his thigh

[The Operator]

Castillo gives up a hit to Flaherty

[JaxRed]

And Wheeler looked pretty decent when I saw them.

[The Operator]

Nice play Scooter!

Double play

[Red Raindog]

Now that was a special play Scooter

[JaxRed]

Scooter would have caught that !!

[Ironman92]

Yeah. No one likes Scooter more than I do.

[Ironman92]

C’mon Scooter. Adjust! They walked Joey on purpose.

[The Operator]

Flaherty suddenly nibbling

[JaxRed]

Not missing by much

[The Operator]

Bases loaded for Geno

[Ironman92]

Good point by both guys about Flaherty

Looks totally different out of stretch and not doing what he did first 3 innings

[JaxRed]

Flaherty reminds me of that guy that used to pitch for Atlanta (and Oakland) I think. Can't remember his name

Baby up, reds replaced by Little Einsteins....catch up later I suppose

[Ironman92]

Yep, Husdon

Husdon reminded me of Perdo

[The Operator]

Well, that sucks

Reds leave the bases loaded.

[JaxRed]

Husdon reminded me of Perdo

Took me a second....

[The Operator]

Wong drills a leadoff double into right to start the fourth.

[The Operator]

Molina grounds out and advances the runner.

Cardinals fans applaud for playing the game the right way.

- - - Updated - - -

And Ozuna hits a 5-foot screamer to score the run.

2-0

[The Operator]

He still has a good fastball but that explosive velocity we saw last year from Castillo is just gone.

He's sitting 95-96 and maybe 97 when he really reaches back. I remember 99 many times last year.

[ochoa30]

Not sure it's gone but yes, and it's taken away his margin for error. He still has the stuff to be dominant. Just needs to command his pitches a bit better. I think he is close.

[JaxRed]

I'd have given Schebler a hit

[cumberlandreds]

Reds just can't get the big hit today. Flaherty does look good though.

[The Operator]

Peraza pops out behind home plate, both runners stranded.

[Tadasimha]

Well, poo

[The Operator]

Scooter very nearly makes another great catch but no such luck.

Fowler on base

[cumberlandreds]

Fowler with a rare hit.

[Tom Servo]

Scooter gets to that


wait

[The Operator]

And now a ground rule double from Dejong.

Aye

[Tom Servo]

Duvall gets to that

blah page break ruins the joke

[The Operator]

Well that was an interesting double play.


Wow lol

- - - Updated - - -

Dexter Fowler hahaha

[cumberlandreds]

Wow! What a DP! Castillo needed that.

[ochoa30]

That was a great play, wow

[cumberlandreds]

Fowler has just fallen off the MLB face of the earth this year.

[The Operator]

Castillo getting out of that inning is borderline miraculous


Holy crap

[KeefeCato]

Castillo living right that inning.

[cumberlandreds]

Castillo gets out of that jam nicely and some luck. I suddenly feel a little better about this game.

[Tadasimha]

Fowler has just fallen off the MLB face of the earth this year.

Its weird! He was the motor of the Cubs all of 2016 and now...thhpt

[The Operator]

And now another rain delay

Criminy

[cumberlandreds]

Another rain delay. Crap!

[Tom Servo]

oh no, delayed again

[KeefeCato]

Rain coming again. Bull pen game now. Hernandez first man up?

[GADawg]

Welsh a Said "bonehead" heh heh

[cumberlandreds]

Well that probably be all for Castillo. Hopefully Flaherty too.

[ochoa30]

I assume both starters are done unless this thing is super short and that's a win for the Reds

[Tom Servo]

Well that probably be all for Castillo. Hopefully Flaherty too.
I'll take it from Luis. A pretty low stress, low pitch count outing right before the break. Hopefully he enjoys the week off and comes out with adjustments and improvements for the second half.

[The Operator]

I love watching highlights of The Reds drubbing The Cubs in front of all those Cub "fans" that show up to drink at GABP.

[cumberlandreds]

Any word of when they might get started again?

[Mutaman]

Boy it rains a lot in the midwest.

[Ironman92]

Looking at radar I’ll guess 7:47

I think a long delay is better for the Reds. The quicker we get into their pen the better

Not here lately and I'm about 90 minutes north of Cincy. Brown grass everywhere. They can send some of that on eastward anytime. Going to be a hot weekend too. Already was today.

[Reds Fanatic]

Per Mark Sheldon they are starting to take the tarp off the field

[Ironman92]

Per Ironman92....game will resume at 8:10 due to tarp guys needing multiple smoke breaks for teh cigs.

Definitely agree. Casali has been hitting since hes been here and has some pop. A sac fly was likely. Just a manager trying too hard there IMO.

[GADawg]

If it works you're a genius and if not you look like an idiot

[PuffyPig]

Bad timing for that. You dont play for a tie on the road

In the 6th inning with the end of the lineup up?

That rule is more for the later innings.

[cumberlandreds]

Crockett in to pitch.

[Redeye fly]

You especially don't with a backup catcher who is more of a power bat than a contact bat.

I don't want to nitpick every move to death. Even the failed ones. But I'm pretty sure if Riggleman had Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Jimmie Foxx, and Barry Bonds in his lineup he'd frequently ask them to bunt when he thought they needed to.

[cumberlandreds]

Carpenter greets Crockett with a double.

[Rolando]

It was definitely a bad call by Riggleman. I hope he's not concerned for not year.

[ochoa30]

Crockett sux. I've seen more then enough.

[PuffyPig]

And you don't play for a tie in the 6th inning IMHO.

You are playing to score a run, anyway you can.

Now the SS might not have been the right choice, but not because of the inning or score IMO.

Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Disagree entirely. You need a lead to win. Sacrificing an out there even if the run scores is not a good play. Even if Casali had failed to drive in that run we would have had a pinch hitter with another chance with 2 runners on base.

[Redeye fly]

Hey the Cardinals can't bunt either!

Really that is where Riggleman is too old school with that very thing. To players today the idea of dropping a bunt down and trying to master the art is the same as a 6'4" basketball player with a crazy vertical concentrating on perfecting his layup technique instead of throwing down the dunk.

Which isn't to say today's players to a man swing out of their shoes, though obviously a lot do. They just don't put a lot of emphasis on being a good bunter.

Schebler banged up.

[cumberlandreds]

Great catch for Schebler! He's hurt though.

[BluegrassRedleg]

I think Thom is right here. That reaction looked like a "stinger."

Schebler made a good quick throw to Hamilton that saved a run for time being too.

Didn't see that but the Reds are ranked #3 behind Houston and Boston for most plate appearances overall.

Fun fact. Cardinals are paying Greg holland 14 million this year. The reds have Hughes and Hernandez signed each for 2 years at about 10 million total.

Well maybe they don’t have the correct guy. But in that earlier inning, against Votto/Gennett, the righty was destined to have a problem.

Which he did.

Rain has passed for now. Looked like it was clearing up.

Mike managing like it is 7th game of the NLCS.

LaRussa did that too. Can’t say I disagree. Don’t ever give up.

I think it's clear that the Cardinals just ain't that good and we've hugely gained momentum. The bad news? Riggleman gets another year.

Suarez flies out to end the 8th. 7-2 Reds

[Sea Ray]

I think a long delay is better for the Reds. The quicker we get into their pen the better

The way he has them playing, that's bad why?

Who's gonna want that bum?

Scoot's value will never be higher, next year he will be a 6 month rental for any buyers

If Dilson Herrera and Nick Senzel are the future with long term control, the time to upgrade the starting five is now

Agree about never giving up. But it is hard on a bull pen over the big 162. When he keeps using 3 relievers to get 3 outs.

I could get used to this.
