[Tom Servo]

You gave me a scare with “Kemp - CF” but I’m seeing on Twitter that he’s in LF and Schebler is in CF.

[Reds Fanatic]

Thanks I will edit it. They had it listed wrong on the site I got the lineups from

[Bourgeois Zee]

Trevor Williams is the type of pitcher that has historically given the Reds fits.

He doesn't K that many, but he limits HRs and is ground ball dominant.

Early in the season, balls don't carry much at all. He could well dominate today.

He gives them hits? Awesome!

[Ron Madden]

Supposed to be around 35 degrees at game time.
It gets pretty cold down by the river.

[Bourgeois Zee]

He gives them hits? Awesome!

Let's hope.

Edited.

[Ironman92]

Kemp will rake.

[Ron Madden]

Reds are one of four mlb teams still undefeated.

[Tom Servo]

lol why is Sonny still in the dugout right now

[TheBigLebowski]

Did we not tell Sonny it’s his ball today?

[mth123]

Rooting for Sonny Gray. I'm not sold that he's the answer, but if he can come back, he could be. I don't completely buy the splits form last year and pitching at home in NY as the reason for his underwhelming season, but I like him and hope he does well. It edges the Reds closer to contention if he does. Fingers crossed.

[TheBigLebowski]

The way Thom pronounces “Kang” grates at me like boy band music. Even if he is saying it correctly.

[Wonderful Monds]

here’s a mat latos in lingerie for continued good luck on the quest to 162-0

https://i.redd.it/fzrrzeyh13a21.jpg

[Tom Servo]

Chris saying Votto's throw could have been better but pretty clear that Sonny gets him at first if he catches it. Tough play though.

[Ironman92]

Gray looks great after early pitches

I’ll bite my tongue on my other thought

[Reds Fanatic]

2nd coldest game in GABP history

[TheBigLebowski]

Chris saying Votto's throw could have been better but pretty clear that Sonny gets him at first if he catches it. Tough play though.

Just the pitcher in him. He should have made that play.

[Reds Fanatic]

Marte steals 2nd

[JaxRed]

Weird play all around on the Votto play. Almost looks like Votto could have caught it, throw was soft to 1b. And......had he let it go and covered 1b instead, Peraza would have had it, and would have been heading towards first. But.. it was hit softly.

[Wonderful Monds]

Tucker continues to not be great at throwing out baserunners

[Reds Fanatic]

1-0 Pirates as Bell drives in the run on a line single to center

[Tom Servo]

Senzel gets to that.*


*I have no idea if he gets to that

[Ironman92]

Marte’s speed 1
Reds 0

[Wonderful Monds]

man GABP is *empty*, last night was probably the worst night for a rainout, can’t imagine how much of that 2nd game boost they ended up losing

[TheBigLebowski]

Only hitter who really didn’t hit Gray hard was the one Marte hit and he reached and scored. Baseball.

[Reds Fanatic]

Cervelli HBP

[Norm Chortleton]

Here we go. Wonder who Hurdle orders plunked later

[The Operator]

Oh lord now Hurdle will order about 5 beatings in retaliation.

[Wonderful Monds]

Sonny not having the greatest 1st inning as a Red.

Can’t wait for the stupid retaliation that’s coming for that either.

[Tom Servo]

Error and hit I don't mind but that was not an encouraging AB. Also now a Red is definitely going to get plunked.

Gotta be careful with Kang here, he hit a bunch of HRs in the spring.

[TheBigLebowski]

Not the best debut.

[Wonderful Monds]

I hope it’s just the frigid cold for baseball weather, but Sonny can’t find the zone with GPS.

6 straight balls now.

[The Operator]

Kang must have ubered to the park in order to avoid another DUI.

[Wonderful Monds]

Gray gets a generous strike call to avoid an 8th straight ball

[Larkin Fan]

Cervelli HBP

Better buckle up.

[Reds Fanatic]

Kang grounds out to end the inning

[TheBigLebowski]

This is gross. 24 pitches, fooling no one, poor control.

[Wonderful Monds]

alright who’s getting hit :/

[Larkin Fan]

Should have pitched Castillo again today.

[Wonderful Monds]

Feel like Schebler is a weird choice for leading off here

[Larkin Fan]

alright who’s getting hit :/

Votto of course.

[Ironman92]

Settle down. If we catch a tossed ball or have better defensive alignment/rules it’s a no run inning and no one gets to 2nd basehttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190331/7bded657248b112886d2763501017ed4.jpg

[Reds Fanatic]

Should have pitched Castillo again today.

Speaking of Castillo I am kind of surprised with the off day and rainout they are pitching the full rotation . Castillo will be on 6 days rest his next start

[The Operator]

Strike 2 on Votto? Lol

[Wonderful Monds]

Weird that this is only our 2nd game when most of the league is already on game 4. Nevermind how ever many Seattle has played by now.

- - - Updated - - -

This guy has a wide zone at the bottom corners. But Gray got that call too, so at least he’s consistent

[Ironman92]

Williams has a ton of eye black on his pitching arm

[Reds Fanatic]

Puig strikes out. Reds go down in order

[Wonderful Monds]

Seem like Joey was really trying to turn on one there, that pitch was way inside for something he’d normally not swing at

[Wonderful Monds]

I didn’t even catch that we don’t have any rookies on the team this year

[HokieRed]

Most troubling thing to me in that inning was that weak throw by Barnhart.

[Reds Fanatic]

Leadoff hit by Cabrera

[The Operator]

Lol Thom just said "whackin' it" while describing Cabrera's single.

[Ironman92]

So pitching outside corner and SS almost at 2nd?

[JaxRed]

33 pitches in the second. Looks like 5 innings from Gray today.

[The Operator]

Beautiful play by Iglesias for the first out.

[Reds Fanatic]

Nice play by Iglesias

[Ironman92]

Iglesias is incredible

[membengal]

Beautiful play by Iglesias for the first out.

It absolutely was.

[redsrule2500]

33 pitches in the second. Looks like 5 innings from Gray today.

We hope

[The Operator]

Yea I think he's safe actually.

Crap



Hopefully not enough evidence to overturn but these things never work out for The Reds.

[JaxRed]

Think he was safe....

[Tom Servo]

uh oh, think he might have been safe

[Reds Fanatic]

Yes he is safe

[Wonderful Monds]

Iglesias can pick it

aaaaaaaand they’re reviewing it

[Ironman92]

Yeah, speed doesn’t matter. Game of inches much

[redsrule2500]

Beautiful play by Iglesias for the first out.

Looks safe to me

[The Operator]

And they call him out


I'll take it

[Reds Fanatic]

Wow they called him out

[Tom Servo]

Phew

[Wonderful Monds]

Did he miss the bag?

[JaxRed]

Even with replay Joe gets it wrong !!

[ochoa30]

Very lucky there.

[TheBigLebowski]

Guess they’re saying he didn’t get the bag.

[JaxRed]

I think they have those GPS devices on players, (if not they should) but that would be an example of how a runner actually starts slowing down before he gets to bag.

[The Operator]

Sonny you really gonna walk this guy?

[Reds Fanatic]

Gray already at 40 pitches

[TheBigLebowski]

Gray is even falling behind the fearsome Heavy Trevy Williams.

[The Operator]

RBI single from the .048 career hitting pitcher.

2-0

[Reds Fanatic]

Wow Williams singles in a run.

[Tom Servo]

Sonny seems to just be throwing in the same spot.

[Wonderful Monds]

Not a dazzling debut for Gray. Ugh.

[ochoa30]

Not good

[JaxRed]

Puig is not a very good arm....

[TheBigLebowski]

Yeah, so this Gray dude...

[Wonderful Monds]

Seemed like the infield sure was swung pretty far to the left there, seemed like they were playing him pretty hard to pull

[The Operator]

Hopefully just jitters and/or cold weather but everything he's throwing looks slow and flat today.

[757690]

Maybe GABP reminds Sonny too much of Yankee Stadium?

[JP321]

His breaking ball isnt working today... Pirates just sitting fastball.

[Wonderful Monds]

Hopefully just jitters and/or cold weather but everything he's throwing looks slow and flat today.

and way out of the zone

[JaxRed]

Hopefully just jitters and/or cold weather but everything he's throwing looks slow and flat today.

I dated a girl like that in HS.

[The Operator]

Frazier tattoos one, bobbled by Schebler as he fielded if.

2nd and 3rd, 1 out

[Reds Fanatic]

Gray is not fooling anyone right now and Schebler boots the ball in center allowing the runner to go to 2nd

[Larkin Fan]

Ugh, looking like the Bad News Bears again.

[WrongVerb]

Gray seemed fine until the error. Then the wheels fell off. I'm wondering if Gray's mental issues are rearing their ugly head.

[Wonderful Monds]

Clown show in the outfield while Sonny continues to just tee it up for them

[Powel Crosley]

Hate games like this. It's early and already feels like we lost.

[Wonderful Monds]

Schebler is not a good OF. Super error prone.

[Ironman92]

*Gray not a good feel on the ball
*Barnhart nothing on his throw
*Votto nothing in his toss
*Iglesias throw not full for that play
*Puig fired it 90 feet into dirt

Let’s put the ball in play on the ground and make the Pirates throw

It “feels like” 29 degrees and all Reds players who have thrown the ball have shown the effects

[JP321]

At least Williams is on the base paths running and not sitting in dugout keeping warm.. if we can consider that a positive.

[redsrule2500]

Hopefully just jitters and/or cold weather but everything he's throwing looks slow and flat today.

Sorry but if you legitimately get jitters at this level, I don't know how you made it to this level.

[Wonderful Monds]

Cold weather and lack of spring training are hopefully what’s leading to this

[TheBigLebowski]

Gray seemed fine until the error. Then the wheels fell off. I'm wondering if Gray's mental issues are rearing their ugly head.

That was the 3rd batter of the game. Everything before that is SSS. Besides, both prior hitters tagged him. Just at people.

[The Operator]

I dated a girl like that in HS.

[JaxRed]

Who's next this game? I'd like to see Bob Steve

[The Operator]

Another walk


Better get somebody throwing in the pen, Sonny ain't got it today.

[Reds Fanatic]

Marte walks. Bases loaded

[Wonderful Monds]

here’s a mat latos in lingerie for continued good luck on the quest to 162-0

https://i.redd.it/fzrrzeyh13a21.jpg

This is my fault for doing this

[Ironman92]

Who's next this game. I'd like to see Bob Steve

I’ve never said that

[redsrule2500]

Marte walks. Bases loaded

Welp maybe he'll play well away from GABP :lol:

[Tom Servo]

Another walk

first walk, actually

[Ironman92]

This is my fault for doing this

Try Carrie Underwood next time

[TheBigLebowski]

Crowd going full Philly fan on Gray, who deserves it. He looks horrid.

[The Operator]

1-2-3 double play!!!!


Sonny needed that

[Reds Fanatic]

Big 1-2-3 DP

[Ironman92]

Shin burger

[Wonderful Monds]

Damn! Hell of a double play!

[Larkin Fan]

Whew that was a close one.

[Ron Madden]

1-2-3 double play

[Big Klu]

1-2-yessiree-3!

[The Operator]

first walk, actually

Yikes. Seemed like more, must have been combining the hits and HBP in my head.

[ochoa30]

Huge play there. Let's hope sonny can settle down and go 5 innings.

[TheBigLebowski]

That ball was hit pretty hard. Gray probably won’t last 4 today.

[Kc61]

Reds escape there, now score a few runs.

[GAC]

Things looking pretty gray right now. :D

[The Operator]

This is my fault for doing this

I didn't see that on the first page, joined late.


Where on earth did that come from? Dallas leak it after the divorce?

[Ironman92]

Why is Joey on the back corner of the bag and receiving that throw about 10 inches in front of the bag? Such a close play.

[Wonderful Monds]

I didn't see that on the first page, joined late.


Where on earth did that come from? Dallas leak it after the divorce?

I have no idea lol, it was on the Reds subreddit today. There’s some pretty funny details in the comments on it.

- - - Updated - - -

For the record the double play happened right as I quote posted the Latos pic so it actually is good luck

[JaxRed]

Apparently Lorenzen warming in bullpen....

[Ironman92]

Shebler an all-around tough start to the season

[Alabama]

Dang. Not what Sonny needed for his mentality. Hopefully he can come out of it

[The Operator]

Kemp flies out on the first pitch

[Ironman92]

Apparently Lorenzen warming in bullpen....

For Gray or Schebler?

[The Operator]

Apparently Lorenzen warming in bullpen....
Four innings and then move to CF?

[Reds Fanatic]

Reds go down in order again

[The Operator]

They're making this dude's 93 mph fastball look like 103.

[Tom Servo]

Williams looking like Cy Young so far.

[Wonderful Monds]

Agree with Chris, super weird that Winker isn’t starting today. 4-6 off this guy, and it’s not a platoon matchup.

[The Operator]

Agree with Chris, super weird that Winker isn’t starting today. 4-6 off this guy, and it’s not a platoon matchup.

Only thing I can think of is they're giving the vet a start early in the season just to show him they value him.


Otherwise I got nothin'

[membengal]

Always befuddles me watching a guy like Williams completely shut down an offense.

[TheBigLebowski]

Agree with Chris, super weird that Winker isn’t starting today. 4-6 off this guy, and it’s not a platoon matchup.

Overmanaging. There is zero reason he shouldn’t be playing.

Bell has made some weird moves in his 1.3 games.

[Ironman92]

Suarez got smoked on 93 mph right down the middle

Kemp a 230 ft fly ball on first pitch

Peraza swings and whiffs on a 93 mph 8 inches above the strike zone

Does any Reds player want to be out there? I need to see a sign soon

[Ironman92]

Williams looking like Cy Young so far.

Reds look like CY Young hitting

[Wonderful Monds]

Gray continues to be hittable

[Reds Fanatic]

A hit and a walk and Gray is in trouble again

[Wonderful Monds]

this sucks.

[The Operator]

Gray walks Kang

[TheBigLebowski]

Thom is gonna make sure everyone knows about the duis.

[Wonderful Monds]

Does help that the Pirates are all swinging at the first pitch against a guy who can’t find the strike zone like a bunch of dummies

[Tom Servo]

Wonder if Casali catches Gray's next start.

[Wonderful Monds]

Wonder if Casali catches Gray's next start.

yeah that’s right, I thought he was his personal catcher

[ochoa30]

Looks to me like Gray is just trying to be too perfect

[Reds Fanatic]

Another walk. This has been an awful start

[Wonderful Monds]

throw strikes

[The Operator]

Thom is gonna make sure everyone knows about the duis.i can't stand Thom but I honestly don't mind that.

Driving while intoxicated is one of the most selfish and reckless things a person can do. Dude is risking the life of every single person on the road and he manages to get caught three times, so I'm guessing he's a regular at it.

[Wonderful Monds]

jeez dude.

[TheBigLebowski]

The great thing about mlb.tv is the option to listen to either the home or away broadcast.

Not even halfway thru the 2nd game and I’ve already had enough of Thom.

[Tom Servo]

I'd honestly prefer he get hit all around than these walks. Just throw it over the middle.

[Wonderful Monds]

Basically 4 walks considering the HBP was on a 3-0 count.

[TheBigLebowski]

i can't stand Thom but I honestly don't mind that.

Driving while intoxicated is one of the most selfish and reckless things a person can do. Dude is risking the life of every single person on the road and he manages to get caught three times, so I'm guessing he's a regular at it.

Obviously I agree. But I don’t need to hear about it each AB

[Reds Fanatic]

Wow he is 3-0 on Williams

[Larkin Fan]

I thought Johnson was supposed to fix Gray?

[Wonderful Monds]

pathetic.

[JaxRed]

Are we painting the edge on Williams on purpose?

[The Operator]

RBI walk to the damn pitcher

Get him out of there

[Tom Servo]

Alright, now it's a real mess of a start.

It's only one start, but yikes.

[JaxRed]

Get him out now...

[Tony Cloninger]

I hate ST

[Reds Fanatic]

Wow he walks in a run. That was as bad a debut start as you could have

[Wonderful Monds]

Walks in a run on the pitcher. Just a complete disaster.

[ochoa30]

Not a good first showing. Get em next time.

[TheBigLebowski]

Put BobSteve in to lug this thing home. Gray is garbage today.

[The Operator]

Obviously I agree. But I don’t need to hear about it each AB

Fair enough.

[Tom Servo]

Welp, hopefully it can only get better from here.

[Red Raindog]

Did I make a mistake putting Sonny on my fantasy team?


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

[Larkin Fan]

I am going to be rooting for Gray, but that was atrocious.

[phlbilly]

One batter too late.

[Red Buckeye]

So far Sonny boy sucks.

[Tom Servo]

71 pitches, 34 strikes. That ain't it, chief.

[redsrule2500]

I am going to be rooting for Gray, but that was atrocious.

Two errors and two lucky weak ground balls are the only thing keeping me from really bashing this performance

[The Operator]

You know it's a blowout when you bring the backup CF in to pitch. :p

[Wonderful Monds]

71 pitches, 34 strikes. That ain't it, chief.

is that bad

[Tony Cloninger]

Obviously I agree. But I don’t need to hear about it each AB

This guy should gave no business playing MLB. 3 DUI in 1 year?
Most people are barely allowed any semblance of making a living but because this guy can play baseball.

[Ironman92]

Thom lol

[Tracy Jones]

Reds pitching: 12 innings 11 walks

[The Operator]

Lol of course Philly phans booed Harper already.

[M2]

I thought Johnson was supposed to fix Gray?

Sonny had a shortened ST. Entirely possible he's not going to be in sync until late April.

[Wonderful Monds]

Seeing some Yankees fans saying that him nibbling on the corners and not being willing to go after hitters is what got him killed as a Yankee, which is obviously what happened today. Hopefully Derek Johnson can put a stop to that.

[Reds Fanatic]

Barnhart with the Reds first hit

[TheBigLebowski]

This guy should gave no business playing MLB. 3 DUI in 1 year?
Most people are barely allowed any semblance of making a living but because this guy can play baseball.

Why are people trying to make me defend him because I’m tired of hearing Brennamen talk about it?

You’ve wandered far away from the point.

[The Operator]

Boy Lorenzen just missed a homer on that swing. Dang

[Wonderful Monds]

That one is gone on a normal spring day

[mth123]

Sonny had a shortened ST. Entirely possible he's not going to be in sync until late April.

Yep. First start after a short spring where starters were so babied they really didn't get a chance to work through the dead arm period, They'll all probably put up a start like this in the next week or so. Add freezing temps and no conclusions to be had here.

[Wonderful Monds]

Schebler can’t get out of the shift today

[The Villian]

Gray sucks, can they send back to New York?

[RedTeamGo!]

Thom is gonna make sure everyone knows about the duis.

Not being snarky - who is this about? Not watching.

[Tracy Jones]

Gray sucks, can they send back to New York?

That didn’t take long...

[Wonderful Monds]

Not being snarky - who is this about? Not watching.

Kang and the DUIs

[malcontent]

Someone should remind Schebler that it's still spring training.

[Wonderful Monds]

I think I’m good on the Jim Day pod lol

- - - Updated - - -

Lorenzen getting some outside calls that Gray was not.

Not that I think about it, I wonder if a better pitch framer could’ve helped Sonny out a bit.......

[The Operator]

Another gen from Iglesias.


Thought that'd wind up a hit for sure.

[Wonderful Monds]

Defense is bailing them out a bunch today, specifically Iglesias

[ochoa30]

Safe again, lol

[Wonderful Monds]

None of the Reds have any control today

[JaxRed]

Another case where runner was slowing before he gets to bag...

[The Operator]

1st K for a Reds pitcher today.

Ouch

[Tracy Jones]

Reds hitters see 5 pitches an inning

Pirates hitters see 50 pitches an inning

[757690]

I think I’m good on the Jim Day pod lol

- - - Updated - - -

Lorenzen getting some outside calls that Gray was not.

Not that I think about it, I wonder if a better pitch framer could’ve helped Sonny out a bit.......

The fact that it’s the same catcher and different pitcher suggests it was the pitcher not getting the close calls, instead of the catcher.

[malcontent]

I think I’m good on the Jim Day pod lol
You've had enough of that "bad boy"? How is that possible?

[Ron Madden]

I’m gonna exit this thread and just watch the game to see if the luck changes. LOL

[Wonderful Monds]

Puig has words with the ump about strike 2. Rightfully so.

[TheBigLebowski]

Trevor Williams for Cy + MVP

[Big Klu]

Kang and the DUIs

That sounds like a band.

[Wonderful Monds]

I’ve never heard of Trevor Williams before today.

[The Operator]

Puig draws the walk and reaches base for the first time as a Red.

[Wonderful Monds]

That sounds like a band.

thought the same thing after I posted it lol

[membengal]

What a really good at bat from Puig, including his working over the umpire on the called strike two without getting thrown out. And then got borderline ball call for the walk.

[Wonderful Monds]

You can tell who the new guys are based on who’s wearing a hood today

- - - Updated - - -

Puig was picked off if not for the dropped throw

[The Operator]

Geno GIDP

[Wonderful Monds]

so that’s not good

[ochoa30]

Gonna see a lot of GIDP this year. Lots of slow dudes on this team.

[JaxRed]

Votto is the only one of our first 5 not hitting .000. And he's hitting .167. Bats are frozen.

[ochoa30]

Nice job by Lorenzen so far to keep the game close

[JaxRed]

Lorenzen 41 pitches. I assume he's getting close to his limit.

[TheBigLebowski]

I want to know why Winker isn’t playing.

[HokieRed]

I want to know why Winker isn’t playing.

Because we acquired Kemp

- - - Updated - - -

[Alabama]

I want to know why Winker isn’t playing.

Because the roster is imbalanced

[Tony Cloninger]

Why are people trying to make me defend him because I’m tired of hearing Brennamen talk about it?

You’ve wandered far away from the point.

I get it. Thom does not know a hole deep enough to bury his hatchets into the ground.

[Tony Cloninger]

Isn’t the starters did not get stretched out more a Price issue?

Gray was held back because of a minor injury so that did not help.

[JaxRed]

Throw strikes Wandy....

[Tom Servo]

Isn’t the starters did not get stretched out more a Price issue?

Gray was held back because of a minor injury so that did not help.
Yeah I'm not sure about the spring training theory. Gray threw more ST innings than Castillo and Castillo was fine. For this theory to work we'll need to see the rest of the pitchers before making any determinations.

Wandy escapes but the continued walk issue isn't going to cut it.

[goreds2]

Side note: Marty B. Went out of the way to mention Billy Hamilton went 3 for 4 yesterday to help the Royals win.

[RedTeamGo!]

Votto is the only one of our first 5 not hitting .000. And he's hitting .167. Bats are frozen.

It’s halfway through game 2, bruh

[Big Klu]

I want to know why Winker isn’t playing.

Bell said on the pregame show with Marty that he intends to give the bench players plenty of starts.

(BTW, I think they should name the pregame show, "For Whom the Bell Tolls".)

[The Operator]

Puig gonna tie this bad boy

[50YrRedsFan]

Schebler not impressing. add Puig .

[malcontent]

Gamecast showed a 92-mph meatball down the middle that Schebler swung through.

Hope Senzel's ankle is mending well.

[redsrule2500]

Pretty sure the Reds brought tying run to the plate in the bottom of the first. Lol

[The Operator]

Puig K's


Bollocks

[redsrule2500]

Puig K's


Bollocks

All the new Reds are sucking :(

[The Operator]

Bob Steve in the game.


Give us something to be happy about, Robert.

[Ironman92]

I’m glad Chris Welsh can see Puig’s issue but Reds dugout can’t

So many things have been bad today

[Ironman92]

Can’t remember the last time I watched a team completely miss 92-93 mph fastballs right down the middle.

I don’t get it.

[kaldaniels]

Bob Steve in the game.


Give us something to be happy about, Robert.

That was encouraging.

[Tom Servo]

Who the heck is this #55 guy??

[The Operator]

Pretty nice inning from Bob Steve.

[membengal]

Man Stephenson threw it well that inning.

[Kingspoint]

Sign of good things:

Thoroughly dominated for 6-1/2 Innings and the game is right there for the taking.

[The Operator]

Is Bobby Blanton related to that guy that Paul Daugherty wanted The Reds to trade Votto, Bailey and Cueto for?

[HokieRed]

That's why you don't want to lose him
