This is going to be a tough one. They probably didn't get into StL until mid-morning.

Gotta avoid Molina. He's the Reds killer.

[mhs95_06]

If they switched to computer called strikes, Votto would still be upset with 80% of the pitches he is upset with a human umpire!

Pitch was in a bad spot if you are trying to get Suarez out!

Good velo tonight too.

[InsaneinthBrame]

To me Schebler looks injured or never healed right. He has been bad since his last DL stint. Lots of ground balls, weak contact. Also his arm went from Poor to awful.

Does not look like he can swing the bat to generate the proper launch angle. he also trying to compensate by trying to pull pitches instead of speading the ball to all field like he did at the start of last year

This Bell thing with Peraza over Dietrich is so similar to Price and Peraza over Gennett back in early 2017.

It seems that Bell is clueless about it.

To be fair, Peraza earned some rope with his performance last year. He's a part of The Reds future and it's in their interest to get him going.

Schebler is now 2 for his last 31. He started the season in a slump and it has been downhill ever since. Oh well, at least the Reds were facing a gopher ball pitcher.

I thought he was the color guy! But maybe he switched since I remember hearing him on radio 45 years ago.

I think Schebler will eventually find his way outta the slump but it just goes to show ya that you shouldn’t put much stock into Spring Training numbers.

I worry that Schebler is a see-ball-hit-ball batter. And pitchers have figured him out and he can’t adjust.

[UPRedsFan]

It’s happening guys! The offense is turning.

[Ron Madden]

And the offense has arrived...

But.. But.. But this offense sucks! none of these guys can hit! LOL:)

[kaldaniels]

Put a dagger in their heart Yasiel.

[757690]

Always fun to watch Cardinal fans watch Reds players score in St. Louis.

It doesn't count in his overall totals, but Concepcion hit a pretty big HR in an all star game. Do you remember Big Klu? I was 12-13 years old. He wore white shoes. He couldn't during the regular season.

[adkindo]

i thought Votto would get gunned down

[WVRedsFan]

Puug singles, Votto scores, 8-1

[kaldaniels]

Buzzkill Schebler at the plate.

[WrongVerb]

This is fun.

[Big Klu]

Is that Stifflers mom behind home plate?

Stiffler's mom has a neck tattoo?

[Tadasimha]

Aw yeah

[757690]

The reverse jinx works!

[George Foster]

Save some for tomorrow boys.

1982 All-Star Game at Montreal. I was 12 years old, too. Davey was named MVP.

[Ron Madden]

SAFE!!!

[George Foster]

https://youtu.be/BkpefAxH43U

1982.. I was 12. Check out the shoes!!

[WVRedsFan]

Iggy gets an infield hit that scores Winker 9-1 Joy abounds

[kaldaniels]

https://youtu.be/BkpefAxH43U

Off Eck no less.

[Nathan]

This is the offense we expected. Let's see if it's here for real, or just a one game mirage.

[WrongVerb]

https://youtu.be/BkpefAxH43U

Didn't realize that was off Eckersley. That's awesome.

[WVRedsFan]

Casali double. 12-1

[adkindo]

damnit....thought it was a grand slam

[George Foster]

Save some for tomorrow boys.

I'm Jim Days daddy!!

[HammerTime]

Now these is where we use Duke!

Casali!!!

[JCM11]

Nothing like giving the Cards an old fashioned butt whopping.

[RiverRat13]

Mmmmmmm... Pythag...

[Ron Madden]

Casali !!!!

[Tadasimha]

LOL - most enjoyable!

Save some for tomorrow, guys!

[WrongVerb]

The game is safe enough to bring in Duke.

[The Operator]

You know you've got em when they bring a position player in to pitch.

[adkindo]

WV's Jedd Gyorko takes the mound

[757690]

Position player pitching.

The ultimate victory.

[InsaneinthBrame]

Love pad the stats games. Especially against the Cardinals

[HammerTime]

Gotta give Dick Williams credit, Casali was a fantastic under the radar pickup.

You rang?

[ukredsfan]

I retract my previous statement about listening to the Cardinals announcers. Listening to these last two innings from their perspective has been worth it.

[mhs95_06]

Gotta remember the opponents lower tier pitchers are in at this point in the game, culminating with a position player on the mound. Lorenzen to CF, Winker to the bench and Hughes on the mound for the 9th?

[BUTLER REDSFAN]

Casali 3 hits tonight..does barnhart have 3 this season....casali needs 2b starting

[George Foster]

Ervin....wow...

[The Operator]

Lol wow Phillip Ervin gets mowed down by Gyorko

[kaldaniels]

Am I an idiot or were those pretty much batting practice pitches?

[WrongVerb]

Casali 3 hits tonight..does barnhart have 3 this season....casali needs 2b starting

But he's a catcher.

[George Foster]

Am I an idiot or were those pretty much batting practice pitches?

In High School

[Ironman92]

Awe hell yeah

[Big Klu]

I think I would have let Lorenzen hit for himself there.

[adkindo]

Am I an idiot or were those pretty much batting practice pitches?

those are not necessarily mutually exclusive, right? :)

[WVRedsFan]

Hughes in

- - - Updated - - -

Iggy needs to play everyday. Wow!

[Ironman92]

How can anyone not like Jose Iglesias?

[George Foster]

Winker with a rocket

[adkindo]

did we tag him?

[The Operator]

Winker guns down Gyorko being an idiot trying to stretch a double down by 11 runs

2 down

[Ron Madden]

Da Wink wit da gun!!!!!

[JCM11]

If it were up to me Jose Iglesias would get a contract extension pronto.

[kaldaniels]

Winker with the cherry on top.

[mhs95_06]

Lol wow Phillip Ervin gets mowed down by Gyorko

Always had problems with the breaking ball.

[Ironman92]

Lol...down 11 and gets thrown out at 2nd

Game I attended last year Winker let one fly and surprised me with his arm....there it was again

[adkindo]

12-1 and Bader acting like it matters that he got hit

[Spanky]

Gyorko is one of the few ball players that is slower than Jessie Winker

[The Operator]

Reds win!!!!


What a great game.

[Nathan]

Did the Reds and Cardinals change uniforms at some point? LOL

[WVRedsFan]

Reds win!

[Ironman92]

did we tag him?

Sometimes you are out because of principle

[Tadasimha]

That was a damn nice way to start a weekend!:beerme:

[Ironman92]

BOOM!

[Ron Madden]

Reds Win!!!

[Big Klu]

Watching Jose Iglesias play defense at SS is an eye-opener of the same magnitude as when Scott Rolen showed us what 3B defense was supposed to look like 10 years ago.

[adkindo]

Winker guns down Gyorko being an idiot trying to stretch a double down by 11 runs

2 down

to be fair, that may be a stand up double for almost anyone not named Gyorko :laugh:

[HammerTime]

If it were up to me Jose Iglesias would get a contract extension pronto.

I don’t mean this in a bad way, but I’m glad it’s not up to you. :laugh: The guy barely got a ML contract. You don’t overpay for someone like that.

[George Foster]

Great observation Big Klu... It's been a long time since we had speed and flash at SS in Cincy.
