[Ron Madden]

Matt Harvey srikes out the side in order in the top of the first.

[Big Klu]

The game is underway.

Nice to know that.

Yet another example that this is a Mickey Mouse organization. I don't know why I even bother with them anymore.

[Ron Madden]

Reds go down in order.

God I hope not.

God I hope not.

Does it matter?

[Ron Madden]

No score in the middle of the 2nd.

To me it dose

[NebraskaRed]

nice bunt by Harvey

[Ron Madden]

Grand Slam Joey Votto!!!

[NebraskaRed]

Votto!

[Tom Servo]

Votto! :jump:

[mhs95_06]

That grand slam by Votto which could have broken the Reds season record doesn't officially count as it was hit before the game was to officially start! Fans who bought tickets arriving on time for the scheduled game didn't have a chance to see it in person.

[Tom Servo]

Obviously small sample size but uh, I think last night and today are a good reminder of what we saw earlier in the season, that batting Schebler at the top and Billy at the bottom of the order is the way to go.

[Ron Madden]

Reds 7
Padres 0
After 2 innings

[Big Klu]

If I had tickets for today's game and arrived after it had already started, I would demand a refund.

[Ron Madden]

The Reds announced that Fans could exchange tickets for todays game for any other game this season

[RedlegsFanatic]

I guess Votto got tired of all the rumblings about no HR since the all star break?
I actually did notice him swinging harder in his last 2 at bats yesterday. I think he has been trying to hit the ball out of the ball park recently.
And who knew it would be a slam? lol
Truly a historic season when it comes to the grand salami.
They are like fingers around here....we all have 10 or 12.

[Flair4Horsemen]

If I had tickets for today's game and arrived after it had already started, I would demand a refund.

It was for weather reasons, and they announced that anyone that couldn't attend could exchange the tickets for another game.

[RedlegsFanatic]

Pretty sure the slam still counts no matter what time the game starts.

[RedlegsFanatic]

The ONLY reason I can see not trading Harvey is maybe he has told the Reds he wants to sign.
And the Reds think they can ink him for around $5 Million.
The same with Scooter. If the Reds do not think they can sign him to a 2-3 year club friendly deal, he has no business being a Red right now.

[NebraskaRed]

Harvey seems to always have one bad inning. That may not be exactly accurate, but it seems that way just like it always seemed that Bronson had one really bad inning.

[Ron Madden]

Billy had no chance to catch that ball.
Shoulda played it on the hop.

[Big Klu]

The slam still counts no matter what time the game starts.

The slam doesn't count if they don't get through five innings.

[RedlegsFanatic]

Why was the game moved up an hour?

[Tom Servo]

Why was the game moved up an hour?
Want to get the game in despite the rain.

[Ron Madden]

Why was the game moved up an hour?

Heavy rain is expected later this evening

Correct
I tuned in after the fact so it cannot exist

Nice job by Harvey to pitch out of that jam.

7-2 ballgame.

[Ron Madden]

That inning coulda been a whole lot worse.

[Kc61]

Wonder if Riggleman told Reds to swing early in the count in bottom 4.

No delays, get the official game in.

I think he told them before the game started!

[NebraskaRed]

good bounceback inning for Harvey

[Big Klu]

So now the grand slam is official.

[Kc61]

The Reds are a different ballclub when they get competent starting pitching.

[Ron Madden]

Still 7-2 Reds after 5 innings

[Tom Servo]

The Reds are a different ballclub when they get competent starting pitching.
2 runs in 5 innings was significantly different than the 3 runs in 5 innings they got from Bailey his last time out?

They're a different club when they score 7 runs in an inning.

[Kc61]

Reds come alive with competent pitching. Not sure Homer Bailey qualifies this year, even with a couple of good innings.

[WVRedsFan]

If I had tickets for today's game and arrived after it had already started, I would demand a refund.

I've seen this a lot lately in football, NASCAR/auto racing, etc. I didn't know, but I'm not in Cincinnati. It should have been publicized everywhere--TV, radio, social media,all over. Didn't notice anything.

It was announced all over social media. I have no idea about TV.

Reds would probably give you some tix to a future game no one plans to attend.

[Ron Madden]

Billy takes some of the most pitiful swings I've ever seen.

[texasdave]

Reds have 8 hits today. All came in the 2nd inning. Way to bunch those hits.

[Big Klu]

It was announced all over social media. I have no idea about TV.

Incredible to believe, but there are still a significant number of fans who do not have Facebook, Twitter, or other social media.

[Ron Madden]

It was announced all over social media. I have no idea about TV.

They were announcing it every few minutes on WLW radio.

[Big Klu]

Reds would probably give you some tix to a future game no one plans to attend.

Fair enough, though I haven't been to a game at GABP since 2016.

[Ron Madden]

They kept announcing Fans can exchange tickets for any game the rest of the season

[Big Klu]

Rain delay.

This one is over.

[Ron Madden]

They will try to complete the game if there is any way possible.

[WVRedsFan]

Harvey looked good today. I hasten to say this, but he has become our best starter. Signing him might be impossible, but the rest of the SP cast is less than impressive. Obtaining good proven starting pitching should be at the top of the list for the off season, but it won't.

Somehow, I believe they will play some more, but the radar looks bad.

[CaiGuy]

This was probably already stated, but...wow, the Bailey effect is real!

[CaiGuy]

So now the grand slam is official.

Bummer, I though he could catch Tony this year. Hopefully next year.

Maybe Dunn though.

[Ron Madden]

The Reds have announced the game time for tomorrows game has been changed to 4:10 PM

[Flair4Horsemen]

Incredible to believe, but there are still a significant number of fans who do not have Facebook, Twitter, or other social media.

Well I was addressing the poster who said they should announce it on social media.

[Ron Madden]

Game has been called

[texasdave]

Excellent effort by Matt Harvey.

[kaldaniels]

The Reds have announced the game time for tomorrows game has been changed to 4:10 PM

Has Big Klu been notified?

[Chip R]

Guess the Reds did something right in starting the game early. If it had started on time, it would have been a rainout.
