Hope to see a lot of Ervin the rest of the way (if Winker is indeed out for year)

Would like to see Billy steal a couple bases when needed.

[CaiGuy]

Pretty awesome that Suarez is playing both 3rd and starting on the mound for the other team.

Just not sure what he is going to do when his batting spot comes up...maybe throw it up to himself and hit?

[Ironman92]

I hope he doesn’t imitate Pedro and drill Joey in the aaahss

[NebraskaRed]

Gapper vs. the Phanatic. Whoever wins, we all lose.

[Reds Fanatic]

Pitcher making his major league debut for the Phillies tonight so how long does the no hit bid last tonight

- - - Updated - - -

Mahle starts with a K

[Reds Fanatic]

Hoskins homers. 1-0 Phillies

- - - Updated - - -

That is now 20 homers given up by Mahle this year

[Ironman92]

Can’t believe there hasn’t been any glacier talk yet.

[Ironman92]

Great. We’re apparently playing the Pirates again

[Tom Servo]

22 pitches with still just one out. Could really use a DP here.

[Ironman92]

Yikes...missing right down the middle too much

[757690]

Herrera showing Gary Sanchez how the game is played.

[Ironman92]

Mahle not really even considering a corner

[Tom Servo]

That HR/9 is too damn high.

[Reds Fanatic]

Make it 21 homers

[ochoa30]

Mahle not really even considering a corner

Or a breaking ball, just awful pitching

[NebraskaRed]

so who's going to be the long reliever today?

[BluegrassRedleg]

Ugh.

[Burger Beer]

[Rolando]

Now we are seeing the real Mahle

[Ironman92]

Lorenzen warming up...I bet he got Kapler’s autograph before the game

[NebraskaRed]

what an awful start by Mahle

[Ironman92]

I hate to be the hot taker...but I think Mahle might need a trip to the DL for a couple weeks of rest.

Regardless....this HAS to be his last batter this inning.

[Ironman92]

What a gift!

[Ironman92]

Snarkly hoping Reds go down 1-2-3 on about 6 pitches [emoji23]

[Rolando]

What a gift!

Your right thank God the NL doesn't have a dh

[757690]

Three first inning runs are going to be tough to beat considering the Phillies pitcher is making his MLB debut, thus guaranteeing he will pitch at least 7 no hit innings.

[Donder]

I’ve been worried that Mahle will turn into Cingrani. He’s not easing my mind.

[Ironman92]

Nice AB by Scooter

[Ironman92]

WTP by Joey

[Ironman92]

Not a bad swing at all by Joey...shut up Thom

[Ironman92]

God I love Suarez

[BluegrassRedleg]

A. Hugh!

[NebraskaRed]

Geno cannot be stopped

[Rolando]

Geno!!!!! :jump::jump::jump::jump:

[Burger Beer]

Hey-you-heiney-hole suarez!

[Ironman92]

Suarez > Suarez

Duvall robbed of a double

[Rolando]

Duvall robbed of a double

Bad luck that guy is an awful fielder too

[membengal]

Just popping in to note, once again, jojo has kicked a puppy...

@johnfayman

That’s four straight games with a home run for Suarez. First #Reds third baseman to do that since Stynes in 2000.

Is it something mental with Mahle that he seems completely unable to put a hitter away once he has them at 2 strikes?

It could be. You get a little extra energy and start squeezing the ball or overthrowing instead of trusting your technique and talent. It happens with a lot of players at all levels. It's overcome by experience and learning to trust your stuff.

[dsterry]

Wow, Riggleman already taking out Mahle. Lasts just one inning.

[RedlegJake]

Mahle needs a break, skip a start while they have a 6 man rotation

[NebraskaRed]

I bet Mahle goes on the DL after the game

[membengal]

Mahle needs a break, skip a start while they have a 6 man rotation

He looks tired to me. A DL rest makes a ton of sense to my eye.

[Burger Beer]

Look up the Pitching Ninja. He describes something called "tunneling", where the really good pitchers' put-away pitches are hard to distinguish from their fastballs, thus generating swinging strikeouts.

Mahle apparently lacks this ability.

[Rolando]

What an awful strike 3 on Barnhart

[Tadasimha]

This kid is no Walker, so more hits will be needed

[Ironman92]

So far Lorenzen is “pitching”...not living with his straight 95

*** as I am typing he throws a straight 95 mph pitch and it gets smoked for a HR

[Rolando]

What does Danny Darwin teach these guys with 2 strikes?

[Reds Fanatic]

What does Danny Darwin teach these guys with 2 strikes?

Throw it down the middle and pray

[Rolando]

Throw it down the middle and pray

I think you're right! Haha

[NebraskaRed]

Phillies announcers talking about how they think of Ohio as the midwest and Kentucky as the south. Then pointing out how weird it was that the Cincinnati airport is in Kentucky.

Yeah...they are coming in in the northern portion. I don’t think of Philly as pretty near NYC

They're huge on Myspace

I think that's generally how everyone classifies Ohio and Kentucky.

[mhs95_06]

I wonder what the mlb record is for number of consecutive games in which a player has hit a 2 run homer. Suarez must be close!

[Ironman92]

They're huge on Myspace

lol...I like them and they have one of the biggest hits in decades but they definitely don’t have a lot of hits

[Tadasimha]

Lorenzen settling in

[NebraskaRed]

Nice inning by Lorenzen

[Tadasimha]

lol...I like them and they have one of the biggest hits in decades but they definitely don’t have a lot of hits

In truth I didnt know the name of the band but do like the two songs I have heard. Should probably check the rest of their stuff out

[NebraskaRed]

Man, this ump

[Ironman92]

Lol...Joey said a lot of non-church words. Pitch looked good though. Good job by ump letting him *****.

Joey down to .842

How high can he get it by the end? 1.000 isn’t out but .950 seems more of a good goal. Might he “only” be a .900-.915 guy this year?

[Ironman92]

The strikeout call?

[BluegrassRedleg]

(Name redacted) loves him some Adam Duvall.

I kind of hope he has been playing through an injury or something because this is the worst I can remember him looking in a while. He still gets on base but he just hasn't looked like Votto much of this year. I'm not sure he gets to a .900 ops this year. Hope the hot streak is coming but one of these years it's just not going to come.

Obviously, eventually his numbers are going to start to go down as he ages. I don't want to believe that this year is the beginning of that, but I'm starting to believe it

[BluegrassRedleg]

Barnhart 2-run HR ties it at 4-4.

[Reds Fanatic]

Barnhart homers! Tie game

[NebraskaRed]

Tuuuuuuuuccker!

[Tadasimha]

Big Red Barnhart!

[ochoa30]

Same, but maybe it's just a down year. I wouldnt put it past Joey to make adjustments and have another 2 or 3 great seasons.

[NebraskaRed]

you know, I'm not quite sure there are enough home runs in this game.

[Tadasimha]

Homer-happy game tonight! Five so far.

['69]

5-4 Fillies middle of 5.

Thunder 4 miles west of GABP.

[ochoa30]

Great play by Barnhart! Stupid Phillies trying to score without hitting a homerun, lol

[CaiGuy]

5th HR given up.

[Tadasimha]

Went back to what has been working for them

[Tadasimha]

If strikeouts get pizza, what would ten homeruns get us? Free skyline?

[NebraskaRed]

Slowy Joey tried to get to 2nd on that but thought better of it

[CaiGuy]

Joey "pops-up" to the right field corner.

Those 3 at bats against Garcia were awful

[NebraskaRed]

that makes 51 home runs for the Phillies in this game alone

I don't think the front office even cares.

[CaiGuy]

I don't think the front office even cares.

I imagine they care, they just aren't talented enough to fix it with the resources they have.

You might be right then at the end of the season this season they shake up the front office

[Ironman92]

I despise how Thom snarks at Joey but him not going to 2nd base there was inexcusable

[Rantly]

[QUOTE=Ironman92;3828348]I despise how Thom snarks at Joey but him not going to 2nd base there was inexcusable[/QUOTE
Heard Thom but wasn't watching, even if as you say inexcusable for Votto not advancing, there is no need for the disdain in Thom's voice there...sorry Mods

[Coopdaddy67]

He was blocked out a bit by Suarez. Likely couldn't tell how far it got away, so he wasn't going to get a great jump. Rather be safe than sorry with Suarez at the plate in that situation. If he went towards 2nd late and got thrown out, they'd still be talking about it.

[Red Raindog]

I'm getting the idea Mr. Crockett is not the answer to anything

[Ironman92]

Thought that was going to hit Toyota sign

I’ve never seen a game with so many center cut pitches throw by one team

[Rolando]

Or Mr Brice hopefully they both gone tomorrow.

Thom said very little actually....it was so bad he just said nothing after the original comment.

Honestly not sure another player in MLB doesn’t go to 2nd in that particular happening

[Ironman92]

Agree with current conversation in the booth

[Ironman92]

Tucker has been completely hosed 3x tonight. Reds earned this loss but as I watch this game I truly believe Chris Gucchioni prefers the Phillies over the Reds.

I can’t tell you the last time I thought that.

[ochoa30]

Whatever it is he has been awful and the calls have been mostly negative towards the reds. I can easily see why you would think that.
