7:10 EST start

[DGullett35]

Giving Peraza another day off. I wonder what Dietrichs numbers are against Wainright.

Hopefully Tanner can start strong. If he can get out of the 1st and 2nd with not much damage he seems to settle down nicely.

[Solstice1989]

Looking forward to playing in Mexico City, should be a great atmosphere

[RedlegJake]

You mean Monterrey? I was in Monterrey a couple decades ago. Not much still relevant I'd imagine as drug lords and gang wars weren't yet common but I remember it was a beautiful city (like all Latin America big cities with blocks of squalor and utter poverty that visitors mostly look past) with a very large US expat community and thriving tourism. My pick for eventual expansion would be Monterrey, not Mexico City.

[RedTeamGo!]

Following “today in reds Facebook” the last couple of days on twitter has made me lose even more faith in humanity.

I was there two years ago. Like any good sized city, it has bad areas and good areas. It seems to have really become a bigger tourist destination over the years.

Listo para el béisbol. ¡Vamos a ganar!

I got off social media a while ago, people are at their worst on there and all social media does is give people a platform to prove that the human race is a POS.

[Big Klu]

I thought they would wear their red "Los Rojos" jerseys.

[Solstice1989]

Ahhhhh nothing like drinking and watching the Reds on a Saturday night. I love the 7:00 Saturday games.

[Tom Servo]

Like those Reds hats behind home plate!

[Tom Servo]

oh god

that was awful

[Larkin Fan]

Oh. My. God. An international incident.

[NebraskaRed]

Oof. Luckily Carpenter wasn't running very hard and only made it to first.

Nevermind. He made it to third.

[Solstice1989]

I would say the other 29 teams would have caught that...

[Tom Servo]

Oof. Luckily Carpenter wasn't running very hard and only made it to first.
he's on third lol

[Larkin Fan]

he's on third lol

Sarcasm meter broken?

[757690]

So was that Winker or Dietrich on that play LF?

- - - Updated - - -

Roark decides he needs to take things into his own hands from now on.

[Larkin Fan]

Sarcasm meter broken?

Guess mine is overactive. Haha

[Tom Servo]

20 pitches already for Roark with just the one out.

[malcontent]

Does Roark like to pitch up?

[VR]

What happened?

[NebraskaRed]

Puig's arm saved that run from scoring

[757690]

Yasiel is Spanish for “strong right arm”

[NebraskaRed]

What happened?

Saurez lost the ball in the sun (I think?) and Carpenter made it to third, not first as I mistakenly thought

[757690]

What happened?


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Carperter lead off with a lazy fly ball to LF that was lost in the sun or misplayed or something embarrassing.

[Tom Servo]

Nice job by Roark to work around the "triple". Will need to start getting some quick outs though the next few innings.

[Big Klu]

Leadoff triple is stranded.

[Solstice1989]

If you told me the cards had a lead off triple and Roark pitched 30 pitches I would think we would be down several runs, but gave up zero fortunately

[NebraskaRed]

Kudos to Roark and Puig's arm for preventing a leadoff triple from scoring

[757690]

Roark escapado problema

[mhs95_06]

20 pitches already for Roark with just the one out.

That is what the defense played on the first batter caused? Lucky to get away with no runs. The defensive strategy that happened with the ball in the air in RCF was way better than the strategy while the ball was in the air to LF!

- - - Updated - - -

Winker has no valid argument on that 3rd strike!

[Big Klu]

Have the Cardinals done away with their road navy blue caps?

[mhs95_06]

Will the Reds bat first tomorrow? I assume each team is giving up a home game.

[Big Klu]

Will the Reds bat first tomorrow? I assume each team is giving up a home game.

No, I think both games are Reds home games.

[757690]

Have the Cardinals done away with their road navy blue caps?

I’m guessing they went away when they brought back their alternative retro powder blue uniforms .

[InsaneinthBrame]

I guess one way to improve "home" attendance is to play in Mexico

[NebraskaRed]

Free quesadillas if Reds pitchers strikeout 11 batters?

[Big Klu]

Why do all of the helmets have the Ford logo on them? Are they sponsoring this series?

[InsaneinthBrame]

Why do all of the helmets have the Ford logo on them? Are they sponsoring this series?

Was wondering about that too

[Solstice1989]

Roark just doesn’t seem all that great, it’s his third outing with us and he just doesn’t seem reliable at all

[mhs95_06]

No, I think both games are Reds home games.

That unfair. They must be paying a lot to the Reds for them to do this.

[InsaneinthBrame]

That fly ball was scary

[Big Klu]

If a ball is hit "straight up in the air", wouldn't Barnhart be the one to make the play?

[Bruce Berenyi]

I would forget "all that great: in lieu of "all that mediocre"

[Tom Servo]

Roark just doesn’t seem all that great, it’s his third outing with us and he just doesn’t seem reliable at all
Well it's only three starts, but he's definitely been "battling" way too much so far. He's at his best getting ground balls and avoiding walks, not really doing either right now.

[Solstice1989]

That unfair. They must be paying a lot to the Reds for them to do this.

Yep now we have 81 road games, 79 home, and 2 neutral. Should have split the neutral and have 80 home and away

[757690]

Roark minimiza el daño

[mhs95_06]

I guess one way to improve "home" attendance is to play in Mexico

Doesn't look like that. Reds would have had more in Cincy with the Cardinals and the current weather for a Sat night game.

[Big Klu]

That unfair. They must be paying a lot to the Reds for them to do this.

Maybe they get to keep the gate receipts.

[NebraskaRed]

If a ball is hit "straight up in the air", wouldn't Barnhart be the one to make the play?

It's like a verbal tic now for Thom. Anything hit into the air is "straight up into the air" He did it multiple times the other day when they were foul balls.

[malcontent]

I really don't like Wainwright. Hope they get to him soon.

[Big Klu]

THom is rambling.

[Tom Servo]

THom is rambling.
evergreen post

[KronoRed]

Thom will complain about having to leave the country at some point, he will then beat on it non stop.

[Solstice1989]

Wainwright is past his prime, I expected the reds to hit well tonight, but it’s still early.

[NebraskaRed]

Thom will complain about having to leave the country at some point, he will then beat on it non stop.

"I had to get on a plane and it went STRAIGHT UP INTO THE AIR"

Nice DP

[CySeymour]

What’s Thom complaining about tonight?

[NebraskaRed]

I think the Reds are gonna get this one.

[KronoRed]

What’s Thom complaining about tonight?

Getting paid to watch baseball.

[Solstice1989]

Well with Roark up it’s going to take a two out rally or we have zero through the front 3

[RedTeamGo!]

Watch the reds get no hit

[757690]

Billy Hamilton currently has a higher OBP than Jesse Winker.

[RedTeamGo!]

Billy Hamilton currently has a higher OBP than Jesse Winker.

I’ll bet you $1000 right now that is not the case by the end of the season.

[Tom Servo]

That was a nice inning from Roark.

[Solstice1989]

Watch the reds get no hit

If that happens against a has been pitcher in a series I was looking forward to all week then I’ll be even more disappointed than I normally would be with getting no hit.

[757690]

I’ll bet you $1000 right now that is not the case by the end of the season.

Probably won’t be the case by the end of the month.

[Mitri]

Love watching Roark work. A total throwback, arms and legs flailing and kicking the dirt between every pitch. Pretty much how every 10 yr old pitched when I played little league.

[Solstice1989]

Yep we’re getting no hit and losing by several runs tonight.

[BUTLER REDSFAN]

Reds back to playing a real major league team and back to not being able to score a run.....sigh

[NebraskaRed]

not getting a hit thru 4 innings and not getting a hit thru 9 innings are definitely the same thing

[KronoRed]

Curse of the Sultans

[Tom Servo]

Just noticed the Marlins have put a 10 spot on the Phils, fwiw.

- - - Updated - - -

Thom railing against shifts tonight.

[Tony Cloninger]

Yep we’re getting no hit and losing by several runs tonight.

Yep you certainly have very few friends no doubt.

[NebraskaRed]

Roark with the luckiest catch of the day

[Solstice1989]

Let’s get some offense going, ****

[Ron Madden]

Do ya think Roark will come out to pitch in the 6th inning?

[Solstice1989]

Yep you certainly have very few friends no doubt.

Shut up dude, I don’t care what some random dude on here thinks. This is proving what I said earlier about social media proving the human race sucks, message boards do too.

Your identity is wrapped up in your sports teams no doubt.

[Ironman92]

Hello all! Mexico huh?

Mi vaca es su casa

[CySeymour]

For the love of everything good, bring back the Sun Deck!

[NebraskaRed]

oh yeah, there was a no hitter there last year. I forgot about that.

There's no way that happens a second time...

[Big Klu]

Hello all! Mexico huh?

Mi vaca es su casa

"My cow is your house"?

[Ron Madden]

For the love of everything good, bring back the Sun Deck!

I second that motion

[KronoRed]

At least they made him throw 3 pitches that time.

[RedTeamGo!]

oh yeah, there was a no hitter there last year. I forgot about that.

There's no way that happens a second time...

I just have an odd feeling

[Ron Madden]

I just have an odd feeling

Probably just gas:)

[Tom Servo]

honestly wouldn't be too upset about a no-hitter if it were like Flaherty or something but come on, Wainwright is washed. Get a hit!

[Ironman92]

"My cow is your house"?

I mean it doesn’t make a lot of sense....

[CySeymour]

I just have an odd feeling

Have you tried Tums?

[Solstice1989]

I just have an odd feeling

Be careful with negativity! Random people will tell you that you have no friends like they did me in this thread

[757690]

I’m guessing it’s selective memory, but it seems to be the case the that when there is a pitchers duel, and one guy has an early no hitter, the guy with the early no hitter eventually loses the game.

[KronoRed]

Roark kind of reminds me of Aaron Harang.

[Playadlc]

Really not exhibiting any sort of patience at the plate.

[Ironman92]

I found a pic of Michael Lorenzen back when he was younger and not all buff

[Ron Madden]

Nice play Joey

[RedTeamGo!]

Have you tried Tums?

Of course.

[Jomama]

Too bad we can't play the Marlins 162 games a year.

[RedTeamGo!]

Probably just gas:)

Well, that’s a given with me.

Lol

That’s a terrible balk call

[Ironman92]

Maybe the slightest of a leg quiver but I can’t believe that was called a balk

[InsaneinthBrame]

Horrible call

[Tony Cloninger]

Your right my post was as misinformed and lacking in any real basis in fact. Just like yours.

And dude me bro.

[Tom Servo]

don't think that did hit him but it was ball 4 anyway

[NebraskaRed]

Garrett kept his cool and got out of that unscathed.

[malcontent]

Garrett did his part to wear Wainwright out. Now hitters need to do theirs.

[Solstice1989]

Your right my post was as misinformed and lacking in any real basis in fact. Just like yours.

And dude me bro.

Lacking in fact? The Reds offense has been horrible in April and that’s a fact, one good series against Miami isn’t changing that.

[Ironman92]

Woo in Spanish is cortejar

[Larkin Fan]

Winkerrrrrrrr!

Thank good fortune! Nice job Winker

[Ron Madden]

Try to calm down.
It’s only 1-0 in the 6th inning..

Now it’s tied 1-1

[Ironman92]

Winker in Spanish is guino

[RedTeamGo!]

Jesse Winker says “No thank you, sir.”

[Reds Fanatic]

Votto doubles down the line

[ScotlandRed]

Not sure Winkers power will ever return

[NebraskaRed]

I still think they win this

[Ironman92]

Early on this season Joey looks more spry than I expected

[kaldaniels]

As President of the Jesse Winker Fan Club I approve of that hit.

[Solstice1989]

https://media.tenor.co/images/5d4a655c3d7d583eae52ec38b1faf50e/tenor.gif

Idk why people are ganging up on me when I’m just saying facts. Reds looking good right now. There now is everyone happy.

[Ironman92]

200 ft fly balls are hard to catch in Spanish

[Reds Fanatic]

Suarez hit by the pitch

[Tom Servo]

I'm confident that Puig will get going but it's probably time to move him down in the order a few spots

[Larkin Fan]

Jesse Winker says “No thank you, sir.”

"No gracias senor" would be more appropriate.

[Jomama]

Amir struggling tonight. Hopefully Bell doesn't send him out there in the 7th.

[kaldaniels]

I'm confident that Puig will get going but it's probably time to move him down in the order a few spots

I respect that but I’d just keep him as is. I have 100% faith in him.

No sense in pissing him off given his alleged volatility.

[Ironman92]

SANTAS MOSAS

(Holy Moses in Spanish....Thom voice)

[Ron Madden]

Da Wink has 3 HRs in the last 4 games.

I love it

[Larkin Fan]

SANTAS MOSAS

(Holy Moses in Spanish....Thom voice)

LOL. I am actually shocked that Thom isn't practicing his Spanish this game.

[Tom Servo]

I respect that but I’d just keep him as is. I have 100% faith in him.

That's fair, also looking over the lineup there's really no better choices. I might just swap him and Suarez though.

[kaldaniels]

At some point you have to stop questioning the power of a guy who keeps hitting homers oppo.

Yeah that just popped into my mind watching Schebler up. No way do I bat Scott before Puig.

Yassssssss

[KronoRed]

Should have stared at it longer

[InsaneinthBrame]

Channeling his inner scooter

My prediction was predicated on the assumption Tucker would be facing Wino. So I am calling a technicality here.

[Tom Servo]

Duke time :scared:

Is downtown Cincy that much better than downtown STL?

Thom was just very emphatic in saying so.

Neither come close to Phoenix though.

Zack Duke? Interesting choice.

[Ironman92]

Neither come close to Phoenix though.

I prefer Butte

[Big Klu]

Neither come close to Phoenix though.

Does Phoenix really have a downtown? It seems like a bunch of suburbs that just grew into each other.

[Tom Servo]

yesiree! Duke gets it done!

[malcontent]

Duke's gold. Now for some insurance...

[Strikes Out Looking]

Neither come close to Phoenix though.

As downtown goes, none (like Thom) standout.

Nicely done Ervin.

Ervin my boy!!!!

[NebraskaRed]

Perfect time for a Puig smash

[RedsBrick]

Is that Ervin kid gonna get his chance?

[NebraskaRed]

ok,perfect time for a Suarez smash

[Larkin Fan]

As a microbiologist, Puig grosses me out with his bat lick. Every time. Blech.

[TheBigLebowski]

I’m becoming tired of waiting for Puig to hit.

[KronoRed]

Don't leave the guy at 3rd

[Ron Madden]

Was that really a strike?

[Ironman92]

I’m becoming tired of waiting for Puig to hit.

Go
To
Bed

[RedsBrick]

I’m becoming tired of waiting for Puig to hit.

His career OPS is .674 in the 3. Might be few and far between.

.904 in the 2.

.978 in the 8.

Alright!!! 3-1 Reds

[Reds Fanatic]

Big run driven in by Schebler

[HammerTime]

Is that Ervin kid gonna get his chance?

For 1 more game.

[NebraskaRed]

Whew

[Larkin Fan]

I love this Dietrich guy.

[Reds Fanatic]

Dietrich triples in 2 runs! How huge has Dietrich been for this team

[Solstice1989]

Good night tonight, good night tonight!

[HammerTime]

That was big!

[NebraskaRed]

2 run Triple for DD!!!!

5-1 Reds

Big hat tip to WrongVerb who has been calling for the Reds to add Dietrich for awhile.

[TheBigLebowski]

Go
To

Was that necessary?

[The Operator]

Why on earth was Duke even brought into this game.

5-2

[Ron Madden]

I was told the Reds couldn’t hit against a real Big League Team.

What in the hell is going on?

[Larkin Fan]

Ha ha....we gonna win

I hope so. Lol

[RedTeamGo!]

Was that necessary?

You said you were tired.

[NebraskaRed]

come on

[Ironman92]

Was that necessary?

You said you were tired and I’m not real serious on here...so yeah, kinda

[NebraskaRed]

maybe Zach Duke shouldn't come in as a closer when the Reds are less than 10 runs ahead

[TheBigLebowski]

You said you were tired and I’m not real serious on here...so yeah, kinda

I see. Bravo, then. You really tagged me.

[RedTeamGo!]

Is Duke friends with Bell or something?

[The Operator]

Iggy starts off by walking Bader with a 3-2 breaking ball.

[757690]

Why the hate on Duke? He served up a rally killer.

[RedTeamGo!]

Got a bad feeling about this

[Jomama]

Those insurance runs were huge.

[The Operator]

K!

1 out

[TheBigLebowski]

Oh come on

[The Operator]

lol four man outfield

Great job

[Larkin Fan]

Uh oh...

Tying run comes to the plate with 1 out

Ervin shoulda caught that easy

Not all of us are watching on tv, what happened?

WIth Gooldschmidt no less

[Reds Fanatic]

Whew Puig ran a long way to that ball

[The Operator]

Nice job Puig after he finds the ball and throws home to hold the runner at 3rd

2 outs

[mhs95_06]

Whenever they play the slo-pitch outfield the Reds are very uncomfortable on defense!

[Larkin Fan]

Puig has an incredible arm.

[Ironman92]

I see. Bravo, then. You really tagged me.

Wasn’t going for really...going for kinda

[RedsfaninMT]

Not all of us are watching on tv, what happened?

Looping fly ball that bounced near Ervin, but was quite catchable. He then bobbled and runners advanced.

[The Operator]

98 from Iggy

[TheBigLebowski]

Piig ain’t hitting but he’s adding value with his defense

[The Operator]

Reds win!!!!!

I was reading something earlier today that said there’s poor lighting in that ballpark maybe that has something to do with what happened tonight

[ScotlandRed]

Don’t look now but the Reds have a top 5 pitching staff

[kaldaniels]

I was reading something earlier today that said there’s poor lighting in that ballpark maybe that has something to do with what happened tonight

Did they do the flashing lights after Winker’s HR? It sure looked like it.

[Roy Tucker]

Dietrich means business.

[HammerTime]

Bell made all the right moves tonight. Gotta give him some credit there.

[The Operator]

Where's Servo?

Must be out on the town with Crow T. Robot.
