[texasdave]

I have this gut feeling that Sal Romano is going to toss a no hitter.

[Umkubas]

Then give him a 6 year, $105,000,000 contract.

[757690]

Then give him a 6 year, $105,000,000 contract.

He would only have one, so a 3 year, $52,500,000 contract.

[Ron Madden]

Federowicz really needs a nickname.

[kaldaniels]

Federowicz really needs a nickname.

He probably can’t decide between Feddy and Wiczy.

[Ron Madden]

Scooter says he has a sore right bicep,
Said he hyper extended it swinging a balls in the dirt.

[Ron Madden]

Pirates go down in order in the 1st.

[texasdave]

3 routine ground ball outs on 7 pitches for Sal 'No-No' Romano.

[Big Klu]

Federowicz really needs a nickname.

The Fed.

[Ron Madden]

Billy turns a single into a double!

[Big Klu]

Billy manufactures a run single-handedly.

Ground ball single stretched into a double.
Steal of 3rd, E2 on the throw.

1-0, Reds

[Ron Madden]

Billy steals third on ball 4 to Votto, then scores when the throw goes into LF.

Reds 1
Pirates o after 1 inning

[texasdave]

There goes the no hitter. I missed it by just 24 outs.

[Tom Servo]

Marty sure likes Riggleman.

[Big Klu]

1-4-yessiree-3!

[Ron Madden]

Big Sal lookin good so far.

[texasdave]

GIDP. So, Romano has faced the minimum through 2.

[Big Klu]

According to George Grande, Schebler's shoulder is still bothering him, and that is why he has been playing LF instead of RF.

Finally, someone is being honest about it.

[Tom Servo]

The Fed! :jump:

[Big Klu]

The Fed with a 2-run HR!

[Ron Madden]

The Fed Lowers The Boom!

[Ron Madden]

Reds 3
Pirates 0

After 2 innings

[Ron Madden]

Nice Play Ervin!

[Big Klu]

Chris Welsh goes on the record as saying that he would be surprised if Billy Hamilton is in a Reds uniform next season.

[Ron Madden]

That shoulda been an infield hit for Peraza

[Ron Madden]

Reds 3
Pirates 0

The end of 3

[Big Klu]

Nice ovation for Votto and Hamilton as they are subbed out of the game.

Nice defensive play by Big Sallie!

[Ron Madden]

NM

[Ron Madden]

Stolen base for Scheb

[Ron Madden]

Reds 3
Pirates 0
Through 4 innings

[Big Klu]

Suarez now takes a bow as he is subbed out.

[Kinsm]

Federowicz really needs a nickname.

Probably never see him again in a Reds uniform, so it doesn't matter much.

[Tom Servo]

3-2 to the bottom 5th, Romano almost escaped with just one run allowed but threw a wild pitch to allow the second to score.

Reds get a run back on a two out hit (looked like an error), 4-2 Redlegs

[Ron Madden]

Reds 4
Pirates 2
After 5 inninngs

[Tom Servo]

Wisler in and he gives up a pair of solo jacks as the lead goes flying out the park. 4-4 game.

[Ron Madden]

WOW!

Pirates with back to back jacks and they both were crushed

[Tom Servo]

Dilly Dilly! :jump:

5-4 Redlegs

[Ron Madden]

Dilson goes Boom!!!

[Big Klu]

George with a, "Dilly, Dilly!", as Herrera hits a tie-breaking HR.

[Ron Madden]

George with a, "Dilly, Dilly!", as Herrera hits a tie-breaking HR.

Hahaha! That's better than screamin Dealson! Dealson! Deakson! Over and over.

Reds 5

After 6

[Ron Madden]

Jared Hughes now pitching

Base hit and we're tied at 5

[Big Klu]

6-4-yessiree-3!

[Ron Madden]

Marty won't be happy if this game goes to extra innings

[Ron Madden]

Reds 5
Pirates 5

Going to the 8th

[Ron Madden]

Still 5-5 headed into the 9th

[Ron Madden]

I wish they coulda traded Iggy at the deadline

[Tom Servo]

Iggy works around a leadoff double.

How about a 9th inning walkoff to end the season.

['69]

Iggy works around a leadoff double.

How about a 9th inning walkoff to end the season.

That would work.

Peraza to first on a strike out-wild pitch!

[Tom Servo]

going to extras lol

[Ron Madden]

Extra Innings
Reds 5
Pirates 5

[757690]

Because this season needed to be longer.

[Ron Madden]

This aint good

['69]

That's a more Reds-like way to finish.

[Ron Madden]

WP 6-5 Pirates

[Tom Servo]

nice snag by Trahan

last call

[Ron Madden]

Nice Play!!!

[Ron Madden]

Dixon robbed of a hit by the Lfer

[RedlegsFanatic]

Fitting way to end a pathetic season. With a gift wrapped 10th inning run with 2 bows on top.
So hilarious to me that Reds management thought this season, or any other, could end well with your manager being Bryan Price.
Apparently Riggleman has an interview to be hired as the Reds manager.
If they actually give him the job you will not see me next season. I will boycott Reds baseball.
Although not hearing from me may make some people happy.

[Tom Servo]

Schebler strikes out and that, as they say, is that.

See you in 2019.

[Farnsie]

5 Hits. 16 Strikeouts. 15 LOB. Oh well

[RedlegsFanatic]

At least we have the Bengals, UK Football, & UK basketball.
And OSU football for others.

[Ron Madden]

Well, that's all folks.

Pirates 6
Reds 5

[texasdave]

Adios, Los Rojos. Rest up and come out swinging in 2019.

[Big Klu]

So this tanking strategy seems to be working really well.

2016: 68-94, get #2 pick
2017: 68-94, get #5 pick
2018: 67-95, get #7 pick

No improvement in the record, and actually the record got worse this year. Yet, the draft pick continues to slide further down the board.

['69]

to a productive off-season beginning tomorrow.

:beerme:

[Ron Madden]

179 or so long days until Opening Day 2019.

Unfortunately others are better at tanking...the Orioles had it down to a Science this season.

[KittyDuran]

You know its the end of the season and the Reds are going nowhere when the Bengals' game was getting bigger cheers on the big screen in the Connect Zone.
Amazingly and sad that I saw 5 people w/Eifert jerseys - it usually a lot of Daltons and Greens.

[cumberlandreds]

The Fed.

Good nickname for him since September 30 is the last day of the Feds fiscal year.

Another season done and another mark in time. That makes 47 of them for me. I hope to see number 48 by the time March rolls around and maybe some improvement for next year. Although I am not holding my breath for that.
