[Kc61]

With Ervin and Herrera playing against lefties, versus Tucker and Williams against righties, I prefer the lineup against southpaws. Simply more power.

Happy the Reds have found a way to use Dilson, albeit not at his main position. Plenty of baseball left, hope both Ervin and Herrera get ample playing time, they both should be in contention for a future spot.

[JaxRed]

Belt K's and Panik flies out to Herrera. Herrera has looked pretty comfortable there. Nothing has been very challenging, though. McCutcheon sliced one down the right field line for a double. Crawford singles harmlessly to Scooter to end inning,

[NebraskaRed]

I bet McCutchen wouldn't mind being constantly traded to whichever team is currently playing the Reds

Meal money?

[Ironman92]

I just hate Peraza batting after Billy.

[Ironman92]

Wow...what a play by Scooter to save a Castillo error

[JaxRed]

Billy walks, and so that means he stays at first with no attempt to run, until Jose hits a DP ball. Scooter flies out.

[kaldaniels]

Needs to be an error.

[Ironman92]

Dilson missed a tough initial read. That ball was scorched.

After 5 starts I think he catches that every time

[Ironman92]

Herrera makes a good play but the misplay allows a runner to tag and score

[JaxRed]

Nonsense explanation on the error. K to end inning. Should be unearned run.

[Ironman92]

Nonsense explanation on the error.

Agree....but also agree that’s how they score it

[NebraskaRed]

Who was the last Reds manager who would regularly play someone who was called up without making them sit on the bench for a week or so first?

[kaldaniels]

Nonsense explanation on the error.

I figured it would be a hit but loved hearing Welsh having to say “the fielder can’t be penalized for taking a bad route.”

[NebraskaRed]

Who was the last Reds manager who would regularly play someone who was called up without making them sit on the bench for a week or so first?

I know Dusty had a habit of not putting someone in the lineup for a day or two after coming off the DL. He also never seemed to want to play anyone who was just called up.

Price would do the same.

I don't remember enough about Pete Mackanin to say.

[kaldaniels]

Jim Day put too much time and enthusiasm into this Suarez vs Suarez matchup.

[Big Klu]

A fielder can misplay a ball so badly that the official scorer cannot charge an error on the play.

However, I don't think that this was one of those cases. Should have been an E7.

[JaxRed]

I even think it tipped off his glove.

[Kc61]

I think the call was consistent with the usual. Not saying it’s fair, but usually a misjudged fly to outfielder is a hit.

Muffed fly ball hit right to him, or if glove touches ball, usually an error.

I think scorer doesn’t presume outfielder can get to ball if he has to run and doesn’t get there.

[Big Klu]

I even think it tipped off his glove.

Touching a ball does not necessarily mean an error should be charged, nor does not touching a ball mean that an error shouldn't be charged.

But yes, it did tip off Herrera's glove, and it should have been ruled an E7.

Error is far more likely to be called if ball hits glove.

Not always, but that seems to be the custom.

If Hamilton dives for it and tips it, no, then error won’t be called.

If ball hit Dillon’s glove on today’s play it would be usual to call an error there.

[Tom Servo]

Dealson single and Casali double to tie it up!

[NebraskaRed]

bottom of the lineup getting things done

[Ironman92]

Nice job at the bottom and good contact by Billy to get it in

[JaxRed]

Would rather see Peraza here....

Edit: But Billy got it done

[Big Klu]

If Hamilton dives for it and tips it, no, then error won’t be called.

If ball hit Dillon’s glove on today’s play it would be usual to call an error there.

I agree with that assessment. It really goes as to whether the play should have been made with "ordinary effort". If so, then an error should be charged. If not, then the play is a hit.

[Ironman92]

Billy isn’t on so Peraza probably gets on

[Ironman92]

Go oppo Scooter and avoid the DP!

[Tom Servo]

lol Giants having all sorts of problems near the walls

Scooter triples and it's 4-1 Reds!

[Ironman92]

Triple by Scooter...2 more score

A babip inning for all but Billy

[Tom Servo]

Geno! :jump:

6-1 Redlegs!

[Red Raindog]

Suarez might be heating up

[Ironman92]

Oh goodness, go Reds TEAM

[NebraskaRed]

let's play the Giants forever

[Ironman92]

Suarez > Suarez

[Kc61]

Nice to see Reds have such a great series (so far) after tough stretch.

Fun games.

[Ironman92]

Maybe the Giants guys who are in charge of the shifting/positioning of players don’t communicate with the pitching scouting report 🤷🏻*♂️

[Ironman92]

Dilson whiffs on a pitch way out of zone

C’mon Casali....ball in play

[Tom Servo]

Casali delivers again, 7-1 Redlegs.

[Ironman92]

Casali 2nd hit of the inning

Keep it going!

[JaxRed]

I'll admit I did not have Casali at .327 Avg and .947 OPS....

[Kc61]

Even with the injuries, the Reds have a solid lineup out there. They simply have to pin down that starting pitching.

[Kc61]

Castillo looking fabulous today.

[NebraskaRed]

Luis K-stillo

[JaxRed]

Castillo looking fabulous today.

13990

[Kc61]

Gennett and Peraza fourth and fifth in base hits in NL.

Just like we all predicted LOL.

[Ironman92]

Billy too strong today

[NebraskaRed]

Peraza can't be stopped

[Ironman92]

Peraza 6th in MLB in at bats

A lot of people were a bit bothered by his like of opportunities last year but he had like 515 PA and he’s showing it this year

[Ironman92]

Peraza can't be stopped

Peraza with Billy on base: .034avg, Peraza with Billy not on base: .338

[NebraskaRed]

Peraza with Billy on base: .034avg, Peraza with Billy not on base: .338

Bad Luck Billy

[JaxRed]

Peraza with Billy on base: .034avg, Peraza with Billy not on base: .338

Is that for real?

[Ironman92]

Scooter liner to RCF for the out

Let’s go Eugenio!

[Ironman92]

Is that for real?

91.4% of all statistics are made up

[Ironman92]

Suarez showing the fire...I like it. Good job by Cuzzi not to toss him.

I think Suarez could’ve killed that borderline pitch

[JustaFan]

article in San Fran paper was woe the Giants who couldn't beat the very poor Reds and now have to return to the tough West. and this is an even karma year for them.

[Big Klu]

Suarez showing the fire...I like it. Good job by Cuzzi not to toss him.

I think Suarez could’ve killed that borderline pitch

I gotta be honest; I would have tossed him if I were the umpire.

[NebraskaRed]

Castillo can't be stopped.

[Ironman92]

I gotta be honest; I would have tossed him if I were the umpire.

That’s fine... we’ve seen it many times before but I respect that Cuzzi didn’t make it about him.

[powersackers]

Castillo can't be stopped.12 balls in five innings? Wow.

[Ironman92]

Castillo looks good.

This is my favorite last place team I can remember.

[Tom Servo]

I like getting Dilson in the outfield mix just for the ABs, but Ervin should be playing every day.

[NebraskaRed]

Castillo looks good.

This is my favorite last place team I can remember.

much more enjoyable to watch than the last few years

[Ironman92]

We have a lot of outfielders that can hit and the one that doesn’t hit well....he’s best OF in MLB

[Ironman92]

much more enjoyable to watch than the last few years

Most of the young guys are nicely functional....Reds have always had that player or two you’d hate to see batting and a pitcher or two in bullpen you’d hate to see and he’d get 60 appearances, this team really doesn’t have any of that.

[Big Klu]

On this date in 1965, Jim Maloney pitched a 10-inning no-hitter in a 1-0 win vs. the Cubs. He struck out 12 and walked 10, and threw 187 pitches.

An absolute horse.

[Ironman92]

Castillo rolling....got down 3-0 so took a little off and hit the upper outside corner at 97 mph, with considerable movement

[JaxRed]

Castillo is now at his lowest ERA point of season at 4.88. He's been pretty good since July 1. I'd have been ok if they pinch hit for him. Give Aquino at AB.

[Tom Servo]

Peraza! :jump:

He has come to smite all of his detractors and doubters

[Big Klu]

That’s fine... we’ve seen it many times before but I respect that Cuzzi didn’t make it about him.

I wouldn't have ejected him for throwing his equipment, but for the violence with which he did it. His bat bounced 7 feet into the air. That is inherently dangerous to the umpire, the catcher, and himself.

[Ironman92]

Billy running home to 3rd is beautiful

[Ironman92]

Smh....Peraza once again doesn’t allow Billy to steal

[Big Klu]

[NebraskaRed]

Peraza! :jump:

He has come to smite all of his detractors and doubters

I have to remind myself that he's only 24. I really believe that he's just coming into his own now.

- - - Updated - - -

and Aquino is pinch running for Scooter.

[Ironman92]

Scooter a nice oppo and Aquino in to run for him

Fun game

[Ironman92]

Last place studs!

@ctrent

Second time this game the Reds have hit for the cycle in an inning -- single (Gennett), double (Suárez), triple (Hamilton), homer (Peraza)

[JaxRed]

I would like this to be Castillo's last hitter.

[Tom Servo]

lol jeez, ball goes right through Barnhar't glove at 1B.

[BluegrassRedleg]

Talk about some bad luck. I've not seen that happen with a position player before, only a couple of catchers. Fitting it was Barnhart over there, I guess.

[Ironman92]

Let’s go kid....finish this off

[Ironman92]

Nothing fair can be done.....an error to Tucker is 100% not fair and an earned run to Castillo the same.

[Big Klu]

lol jeez, ball goes right through Barnhar't glove at 1B.

Tough luck E3.

[JaxRed]

Is anyone throwing?

[Tom Servo]

At least these runs are unearned, this is dumb.

[Ironman92]

1 ER....should’ve been 0

[JaxRed]

Didn't look like that was well played by Ervin. Castillo should have come out earlier.

[Big Klu]

Nothing fair can be done.....an error to Tucker is 100% not fair and an earned run to Castillo the same.

Should be an unearned run, as it would have been the third out of the inning.

[JustaFan]

three excellent quality starts in a row. How many times has that happened this year? Need to ask before the next three starters perform.

['69]

Sally with 3 hits :thumbup:

[Ironman92]

Should be an unearned run, as it would have been the third out of the inning.

Exactly...can’t be both. Error on 1st baseman isn’t fair

['69]

Lol. This has been a wild one.

[Ironman92]

If this game is in SF....he may have 2 inside the park HR and his first out probably a hit

[Ironman92]

Billy Winningham

[Ironman92]

Let’s go Aquino....be a Ted Tappe

['69]

Ha. Calm down Jose.

[Ironman92]

Lol, Peraza has checked out

[Big Klu]

Billy Winningham

I remember the game when Herm Winningham hit three triples, a day game vs. the Cardinals in 1990.

[NebraskaRed]

Garrett is injured, right? He seemed to bounce back way too quickly from rolling his ankle or whatever it was last month

[JaxRed]

I like the way Billy always lines up his throws....

[BluegrassRedleg]

PIZZA!!!

[Big Klu]

🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕

[Big Klu]

I like the way Billy always lines up his throws....

Hamilton is one of the top three defensive outfielders for the Reds in my lifetime, along with Cesar Geronimo and Eric Davis.

(Honorable mention to Mike Cameron and Eddie Milner.)

[Big Klu]

Dilson caught it with two hands!

[Ironman92]

WTF was that? Holy hell

[NebraskaRed]

Sweeeeeep

[Tom Servo]

Sweeeeeeep. We’re still good! :beerme:

[Ironman92]

Dilson with his inner Dan Uggla effort

[Big Klu]

Wow, the Giants aren't good.

They are a team that got old all at once.

[Ironman92]

I hope Jose learns English along the way

[Mutaman]

Hamilton is one of the top three defensive outfielders for the Reds in my lifetime, along with Cesar Geronimo and Eric Davis.
