Peraza! :jump:

1-0 Redlegs

[mhs95_06]

Peraza a non-lefty hitter who pounds low and in pitches after baiting the pitchers when he gets a lot of hits to RF.

[Flair4Horsemen]

Maybe last year was the fluke season and 2016 and 18 are the real Peraza seasons?

[Tom Servo]

1-1 after 1, Harvey gave up a pair of doubles.

[Tom Servo]

Hate to agree with Thom but I was just going to say too that Ervin should have been in the lineup in this game.

[Tom Servo]

2-1 Nats, great throw by Billy to almost get the runner at home.

[mhs95_06]

He also gave up 2nd base to the hitter by going all out to get the out at home. I like his throw to 22nd better in the first that just missed the runner who scored the first run who had ripped a drive off the CF wall that Billy played perfectly off the wall.

[Ironman92]

Peraza made an out...wow

[Ironman92]

Hate to agree with Thom but I was just going to say too that Ervin should have been in the lineup in this game.

Wow Suarez
Great catch

[Ironman92]

With Soto playing the new age Mel Ott, Rendon getting going, Harper getting going....if Murphy finds it their offense will be no bueno for pitchers the rest of the way

[mhs95_06]

Great foul fly catch by Suarez for the first out with 2 runners on.

[Tom Servo]

Matt Adams remembers he loves Reds pitching, he doubles. 3-1 Nats.

[Red Raindog]

Harvey magic missing tonight

[bleedsred]

That was a great catch, then a scorcher down first by Adams knocks in a run.....3-1 with runners at 2nd and 3rd and 1 out

[Gandalf the Red]

In fairness, scouring every online apartment listing in Atlanta, Chicago, and Milwaukee was probably pretty taxing.

[50YrRedsFan]

Harvey very hittable tonight. Good velocity but little movement on the fastball. Having trouble spotting the breaking pitch.

[Ironman92]

Husky Adams [emoji52]

[bleedsred]

Why not walk Taylor? Play for the DP

- - - Updated - - -

Jim heard me

[mhs95_06]

Nats mimickng the Reds in the first game by scoring in every inning early.

[bleedsred]

Nice job by Matt to wiggle out of a bases loaded/ 1 out jam

[Tom Servo]

Harvey escapes from a possible blowup inning.

[mhs95_06]

Nats mimickng the Reds in the first game by scoring in every inning early.

Not a crooked number yet though!

[Ironman92]

4th inning prediction

If Votto gets on and Scooter does NOT swing at the first pitch....Reds score 2+

[Tom Servo]

Geno! :jump:

3-2 game

[Tadasimha]

4th inning prediction

If Votto gets on and Scooter does NOT swing at the first pitch....Reds score 2+

What happens when Geno parks one? :thumbup:

Looks like I would’ve been right. C’mon Joseph

[Ironman92]

That was implied

[mhs95_06]

Tucker was correct in his differing with the strike 3 call.

Harvey and the Reds defense need to win their first inning of the game.

[Ironman92]

Solid play at 2nd by Quisenberry

[Kingspoint]

Harvey very hittable tonight. Good velocity but little movement on the fastball. Having trouble spotting the breaking pitch.

Yet, it's a 3-2 game. I like that about Harvey.

[Tom Servo]

Damn, Soto fouled a ball off his balls.

[Ironman92]

Not sure I could be more impressed with Soto at the plate.

That shot to the groin had him fighting passing out and puking....but he got back in there and worked a walk.

“Special” doesn’t seem like a good enough word

[Tom Servo]

4-2 Nats, Harvey still can’t find a scoreless inning

[Ironman92]

We all understand why Duvall was traded, only a few even bothered by it....and everyone they put out there is hitting pretty good.....but none of them look as good as Adam Dunn in LF, let alone Duvall

[Kingspoint]

We all understand why Duvall was traded, only a few even bothered by it....and everyone they put out there is hitting pretty good.....but none of them look as good as Adam Dunn in LF, let alone Duvall

So true. Though they'll stop looking like Dunn after they get some time out there.

[Tom Servo]

So we're really gonna have to hear "Duvall gets to that" for the rest of eternity, huh

[mhs95_06]

Harvey and the Reds defense need to win their first inning of the game.

Harvey fails to throw strikes on the last two pitches to Soto and walks him with 2 out, and then some more shoddy defense(P Tucker much worse than Duvall in LF) and the Nats get their 4th straight single run.

[Ironman92]

Preston Tucker’s stance from CF camera looks like Lance Berkmam, the big puma

[Ironman92]

So true. Though they'll stop looking like Dunn after they get some time out there.

The airmailing cutoff men is pretty unacceptable. Oh well, they’ll certainly improve

[Ironman92]

Are you kidding?....the one damn time Billy lays down a good bunt.

Great play by Rendon

[Ironman92]

So we're really gonna have to hear "Duvall gets to that" for the rest of eternity, huh

I was referring to the throw. I don’t know if Duvall gets to that or not, but I make a better throw.

['69]

Only if it triggers his detractors ;)

[kaldaniels]

So we're really gonna have to hear "Duvall gets to that" for the rest of eternity, huh

“There goes Adam Duvall, the greatest leftfielder who ever lived.”

['69]

Sigh, Matt Adams 5-2 nats

[Ironman92]

Adams just kills the Reds

[Ironman92]

What??? Barnhart?

Barnhart has been screwed on strike 3 calls a lot of late.

Tucker was on one knee and tossed

[Tom Servo]

I was referring to the throw. I don’t know if Duvall gets to that or not, but I make a better throw.
Fair enough.

[Tadasimha]

That mother, tucker!

[Rolando]

Andy Fletcher is a joke robo umps please.

[Ironman92]

Here’s my hope....

Reds find a way to rally and Curt Casali wins it and stares down HP ump

[Ironman92]

Thom...he over threw it...it wasn’t intended for the “2nd” cutoff man geesh

Not sure anyone but maybe Baez as the backup gets the runner out

[Kingspoint]

Brice should not be getting any more chances with the REDS, but then I said that about Bailey. There seems to be some magic water in Louisville the last two months.

[Rolando]

Riggleman must not work on fundelmenals

[Kingspoint]

Here’s my hope....

Reds find a way to rally and Curt Casali wins it and stares down HP ump

I've learned not to count out the 2018 REDS.

['69]

Riggleman must not work on fundelmenals

Lol

[Kingspoint]

Riggleman must not work on fundelmenals

Yeah, that, too.

['69]

That mother, tucker!

Which one?

[Tadasimha]

Which one?

Yes

[Ironman92]

For this inning I hope Suarez and Scooter both go oppo...it’ll be there

[Rolando]

Hopefully the losses mean there is no chance Rigglman is back

[Ironman92]

Joey is Rizzoing the plate

[Ironman92]

[emoji41]

[Ironman92]

I would’ve left him in to face Scooter....Scooter wasn’t close either time.

Go oppo Scooter

[Rolando]

Hellickson would have been a great guy to sign last off season

[50YrRedsFan]

Reds offense pretty well silenced by Hellickson. Only 4 hits with 2 outs in the 6th.

Umpire Fletcher really pissing off the Reds.

[Ironman92]

Scooter down 0-2 for the 82nd time in his last 134 plate appearances

*stat is made up but sure seems like it

[Rolando]

I couldn't tell if that was a strike on scooter or not.

['69]

Hopefully the losses mean there is no chance Rigglman is back

Probably not, how many have been due to AAAA players..

[mhs95_06]

I couldn't tell if that was a strike on scooter or not.

It showed that it tipped the zone, but he was more about a previous pitch that obviously missed but was called a strike.

[Ironman92]

I couldn't tell if that was a strike on scooter or not.

First pitch wasn’t ...Scooter gets that called on him a lot!....though you guys probably don’t remember that because Scooter has swung at 91.4% of the pitches since June 11th

*still making up stats

[Rolando]

Probably not, how many have been due to AAAA players.. Riggleman has done ok nothing special though.

I can't wait for robo balls and strikes.

[Ironman92]

Brice is one more wild pitch from Votto or Suarez getting beaned

Let go of the ball lol

[mhs95_06]

I can't wait for robo balls and strikes.[/QUOTE]

Me also! The most unfair aspect of umpiring. The difference between 1-1 & 2-0 and 3-1 or 2-2 is massive, and hitters who have the strike zone mastered are being abused badly, as well as pitchers being able to take advantage of umpires weak spots to gain an unfair advantage!

[Ironman92]

All these 4th/5th/6th OF guys...all hitting a bit

[emoji122][emoji122][emoji122]

I'm not convinced robo calls wouldn't be a major cluster.

[Ironman92]

First MLB pitch by Jesus Reyes 96 mph and moved about 16 inches lol

Next pitch the same but up and in for a HBP

[Ironman92]

I'm not convinced robo calls wouldn't be a major cluster.

Agree...Votto complaining to a computer is like me yelling at the tv

[Rolando]

I'm not convinced robo calls wouldn't be a major cluster.

They could be my human calls are already a cluster

[Ironman92]

Not sure of the jump but good range by Mason Williams to rob a potential blooper

[Rolando]

They could be my human calls are already a cluster

My biggest problem is you don't eject Barnhart after you miss a ton of calls.

[mhs95_06]

One hit-able pitch out of his first 3, and he gets 2 outs, then retires the side on 8 pitches!

['69]

:laugh:

Your poor dog..

[Ironman92]

:laugh:

Your poor dog..

No yellable moments so far...dog is chill right now

[mhs95_06]

Only if the system gets struck by lightning or something, then they would have to resort to the human calling the balls and strikes.

Bingo!

[Ironman92]

That was no doubt.

Madson is an *******.

[Ironman92]

Exactly where Harper got hit

[Gandalf the Red]

I hope Joey's also reminding Ryan how he re-habbed on the Reds' dime and never pitched an inning for the team.

[ochoa30]

Exactly where Harper got hit

By a freaking breaking ball. Pathetic move by the Nats and Madson there. No surprise the ump does nothing.

[Burger Beer]

He's got good control.

[mhs95_06]

Is Votto yelling for the ears of the umps, or the ears of the Nats?

[Ironman92]

Votto is FURIOUS....and reached base! Lol

He was hot. Madsen drilled him 95 in exact sport curve hit Harper

I feel this isn’t over.

Will watch.

['69]

Okay, just not seeing how the system itself would work.

[Ironman92]

I don’t think that’s what he said

[RedlegsFanatic]

That was complete BS, uncalled for, and completely unnecessary.
That could have ruined the rest of Votto's career and robbed us from watching one of the all time great's finish out his career.
There isn't much I can do about it, but I am highly pissed about Madson throwing at my favorite player.
I can guarantee you this, if I happen to ever run into Ryan Madson he will have sugar in his gas tank at best.

Or on flip side Votto is pissed and uber extra focused and goes on a tear for 6 weeks

Enjoy the year my friend

[Ironman92]

Ryan Madsan sucks

[mikemo14]

I like Riggleman..but someone should have worn one for the Nationals after Madsen drilling Votto. Miss the days of the Pinellas and Johnson and Knights when we pushed to protect our players.

[mhs95_06]

Reds have hit twice as many batters this game as the Nats. Should pitchers with good control be penalized more than pitchers with bad control. The term effectively wild comes to mind. Can't a pitcher be intentionally wild to help his effectiveness? Which kind of pitcher is most likely to severely hurt someone?

[RedlegsFanatic]

eh...he usually does that anyway. lol

[Ironman92]

Good swing by Scooter (finally)...but long out to LCF warning track

[WrongVerb]

Ryan's father says "I'm Mad son."

All jokes aside, that ewes uncalled for.

['69]

Hey, this Williams kid having a nice game.

He has half of the Reds hits. They have only 6 total.

[Flair4Horsemen]

Hopefully it doesn’t turn into a beanball war.

[Ironman92]

It feels real close for sure

Both have 2 HBP

[Ironman92]

Dixon, sucker for the curve!

Reds only had one batter hit = Votto.

[Ironman92]

Reds only had one batter hit = Votto.

Votto hit 2x

2=2

[mhs95_06]

Votto hit 2x

2=2

But Votto himself is just one batter, no matter how many plate appearances he has. One Reds batter got it, but hit twice! Semantics, semantics, lol. People tell me, as well as my oldest child that we should have been lawyers!

Batters hit: 2 v 1
HBP: 2 v 2

[Stray]

Feels like this one isn't finished. Purposely hitting our 225 million dollar star in the knee with a 96mph fastball to payback an accident off speed pitch is way over the line. Tomorrow could get interesting.

['69]

Reds only had one batter hit = Votto.

That is a true statement. But we might include both times he got hit. :dunno:

I recognized how you said it but didn’t understand your point. 2 HBP and then you talked about pitchers with good control and not so good

['69]

Will it go like a typical Reds-Pirates series, the last game both teams get a warning the first pitch to come close to a HBP?
I hope not, they definitely have one coming.

[WrongVerb]

Agree, no need for female sheep

Speak for yourself. *ahem*

[mhs95_06]

I recognized how you said it but didn’t understand your point. 2 HBP and then you talked about pitchers with good control and not so good

The point was why penalize the Nats, they haven't hit any more Reds than the Reds have hit the Nats. Then I got into the rhetorical question of why penalize someone who has better control? Shouldn't he be able to use his control to his advantage while not putting anyone on the other team at more risk than they are by pitchers with bad control?
