Harvey's stuff looks really good so far tonight.

3 K's and 5 set down in a row.

- - - Updated - - -

4 K's thru 2.

[bleedsred]

Sitting 95-98 on the fastball and off speed stuff looking good....Phils are swinging through everything so far....Matt is doing his part this far.

[JaxRed]

If you are Dick Williams, and the game is 0-0 after 5, do you call down to dugout to pull Harvey so his stats stay great?

[The Operator]

Tucker!

1-0 on the RBI double

[The Operator]

Duvall singles, runners at first and third. 0 outs

I dunno... preserving numbers is nice but I almost wouldn't be surprised if scouts are looking at his stuff more than anything. And the stuff is great tonight.

Oh strike 1 to Billy was a garbage call

That was ball four

Another one?!?!

That was ball 5

[Red Raindog]

Is Bucknor the ump?

We need robot umps

This is terrible

[RedsfaninMT]

Terrible strike calls

[The Operator]

Some of the worst ball and strike calls I've seen

[Red Raindog]

And now more dumb base running

[BluegrassRedleg]

Contact play? That's kinda dumb with infield way in and catcher running at third.

[The Operator]

Well that innings could have been much much more

Bad umpiring, bad in game decisions mean the Reds only get one run

[Red Raindog]

Contact play? That's kinda dumb with infield way in and catcher running at third.

And Hamilton hitting plus they had Duvall running

Same pitch he called a strike twice on Billy

And again

[The Operator]

Harvey getting squeezed with the opposing pitcher up

Get this ump out of here

[bleedsred]

I wonder if teams are on the phone right now with Williams? There was 6+ scouts shown in the stands before the game...have to think the stuff looks even better in person and those guys have already contacted their boss. Terrible no call on strike 3 to the pitcher.

[Red Raindog]

Not Bucknor
Some guy named Allen Porter

that inning was just poorly managed-- let harvey swing away --worst that happens he hits into a double play and the run scores. riggs is over thinking and over managing. he makes weird decisions that don't add up to anything -it's just movement.

[The Operator]

Joseph Daniel walks with 1 out

C'mon Geno let's set a team record with a 6th straight game

[The Operator]

Geno with a few excuse me swings in a row grounds out advancing Joey

2 down

[RedsfaninMT]

Reading an article on Baseball Prospectus from 2012 ranking hin 4th most accurate at call balls/strikes, at 88.6%. Don't know what's happened since then, but this is ridiculous.

[The Operator]

Mason Williams grounds right into the teeth of the shift in short right

1-0 Reds after 3

Billy showed a lot of self control after getting hosed two calls in a row like that.

If that were me I'd probably wind up getting ejected.

[The Operator]

1st baserunner Harvey has allowed

Uh oh

2-1 Phils

That was quick

[The Operator]

Walk, homer and now another walk


I prefer the Harvey that retired the first 9 in a row.

[bleedsred]

Harvey in need of a double play...or a nice k

Another popout would work fine too

[The Operator]

Harvey limits the damage to 2 runs, Geno records all 3 outs

[The Operator]

Billy! Tie ball game!

[Tadasimha]

All right, Billy!

[BluegrassRedleg]

Nice job, Billy. 2-2 game.

Too bad a base-clogger is on ahead of him. :p

Completely unrelated: Russell Martin has a man-bun

Winds up a double

An 0-2 fastball. Gotta question that call big time.

Uh oh

(Name redacted) is getting frustrated.

This umpire is a joke. Harvey hasn't gotten one borderline call. Other dude gets em all night

[The Operator]

That didn't hit him! Not even close

[Powel Crosley]

This umpire is embarrassing

[BluegrassRedleg]

This home plate umpire is NOT going to enjoy his league review of tonight's performance. HO LEE COW

[The Operator]

This is one of the worst home plate umpires I've ever seen.

[Red Raindog]

Need to breathalyze this ump

Lol, Marty is lambasting the ump non-stop

Harvey retires Hernandez after reversing the embarrassing HBP call

[ochoa30]

Outside of one pitch a nice start for Matt in what is almost certainly the last start of his Reds career

[The Operator]

Joey leads off the 5th with a base hit

[Tadasimha]

JV gets the party started - put this guy out of our misery

[The Operator]

Geno walks after being behind 0-2


Two on with nobody out

Williams bunts the runners over

1 down, runners at second and third

[BluegrassRedleg]

(NAME REDACTED) BINGO NIGHT:

* Votto not getting XBH
* Pitchers unable to bunt
* Pace of play
* Pitchers working too slow

And we're just halfway thru. Check your cards often.

Barnhart walks on four pitches to load the bases

1 down

Blow this open, Adam

Wow

Duvall blown away be three fastballs

Dealson!!

Hitting for Harvey

[BluegrassRedleg]

Very good timing for a nice Harvey outing.

[JaxRed]

Dick Williams made that call....

[757690]

Come on Dilson, get Harvey a win in his last Reds start.

[Reds Fanatic]

A good most likely last start for Harvey as a Red: 5IP, 2H, 2ER, 2BB, 5K

[Donder]

Just popped in to congratulate Riggleman on that brilliant piece of management. Sac bunt that ultimately leads to the pitchers spot with 2 out.

Having an excuse to get Harvey out of the game is the best thing the team has done since they acquired him.

[Strikes Out Looking]

3 walks, a bunt and 2 k's. I love the way this offense rolled last half inning.

[bleedsred]

I'm fine with the Harvey exit, the HR was a good pitch hit by one of the hottest hitters in the league. Great outing by Harvey.

[Rolando]

That was God awful hitting with men in scoring position that inning!

[Burger Beer]

Oh boy. Peralta.

[The Operator]

Walky Peralta back in the bigs

Did pretty well this inning

Now that one I don't like - Billy can score from 2nd on a deep sac fly

[BluegrassRedleg]

Vottomatic! 3-2 Redlegs.

['69]

Nice, Votto singles, Billy scores from 3rd. 3-2 reds.

[BluegrassRedleg]

Productive AB for Suarez. 4-2 Redlegs. He'll have one more shot at HR streak.

Sal induces the double play.

I think it’s because the Reds are a little short tonight. Rigglemen plays to win every night.

Moving arguably your best starting pitcher over the past month* (that will still be on the team Wednesday) to the bullpen is quite the interesting move...

*I didn't research this

[JaxRed]

My first thought is that this means Mella is in the rotation.

My first thought was opposite.

[Mutaman]

I had pretty much decided Sal was the ace of the rotation. he seems to be the one guy who can go 7. So lets put him in relief???????

[CaiGuy]

Did Thom get reprehended? He backpedaled big time this inning, lol.

If you sit back and wait for Billy to do that, you’ll usually be disappointed.

How many times has he actually done that?

The Cowboy starts a thought by saying “I’d rather have a pitcher that gets 3 line drive outs”.

I kinda missed what was after that.

Reprehended? Sounds like a combination of apprehended and reprimanded. The former would be hilarious.

Edit, I'm a dummy. :)

The better question is how many times has Peraza actually hit a sac fly?

The answer is 7 in his career. Which means he's twice as likely to hit a home run. (13).

How we lookin' now?

[Mutaman]

There's a fellow named Rosell Herrara who has 2 hits and an rbi as KC goes for sweep against Yanks who they claim played for the Reds this year.

And presumably we are talking about a SF from third. Billy’s chances of scoring from 2nd on a Peraza deep FB is pretty much non-existent.

[ochoa30]

[Burger Beer]

Son of a gun, he hit a deep fly ball.

Peraza doubles off of Hoskins' glove who is seen bemoaning the fact that he couldn't track down the "Fudge!" vendor in left field.

Now Geno the Machine-o will have one more chance.

[Powel Crosley]

Hopefully the is the start of the famous Votto second half hot streak.

[CaiGuy]

Votto heating up. I like.

[Mutaman]

In his last 7 starts, Romano has gone 8 innings once, 7 innings twice, and six innings last week to beat the Cards. Based on this Reds decide to put him in the bullpen. What am I missing here?

[The Operator]

The streak comes to an end

Thom says "Peraza bounces into a double play" although we all know it was Suarez

is there a reason why over the hundred years of baseball history, organizations don't normally bring starters in to pitch relief on " their day to throw"? or have the Reds come up with some new innovation?
