Reds vs Giants 5-4-19

[The Operator]

Holy crap the starting pitcher made it to the 7th inning.

Is David Bell even in the dugout?

[mamell]

Twould be sweet for Roake to get a complete game.. Bullpen needs a day off too..

[Burger Beer]

Nepotism.

I thought that was having sex with dead people?

[NebraskaRed]

Twould be sweet for Roake to get a complete game.. Bullpen needs a day off too..

that might require him to throw 275 pitches

[GullyFoyle]

.500 OBP for tonight so far. No need for a hit for Votto.

[Kc61]

Roark is better than I expected. So far.

[adkindo]

Twould be sweet for Roake to get a complete game.. Bullpen needs a day off too..

you just talking crazy now ;)

[Reds Fanatic]

6 Ks for Roark

[Ron Madden]

Boy Roark looks good tonight

Soon as I say that Crawford doubles down the line

I apologize Tanner

[NebraskaRed]

I'm glad Bell didn't take Roark out. No need to, and the bullpen needs rest.

[mamell]

I just realized I've been misspelling Roark all night.. He's tossing a heck of a game tonight. Maybe I should keep misspelling his name as Roarke, Roake or whatever..
See? soon as I correct it he gives up a hit.. Go figure..

[adkindo]

would not hate to see Reed

[Kc61]

Cody Reed up and throwing in the pen.

[NebraskaRed]

the wave has broken out in GABP

[Reds Fanatic]

8-2 Reds as Duggar knocks in another run

[adkindo]

why not let him finish the inning?

[Reds Fanatic]

Very nice start by Roark

[Ron Madden]

Good Job Tanner Roark!

[mth123]

Just can't make it to 7 innings.

[Kc61]

Roark went 6 2/3 threw 113 pitches.

[mamell]

Here goes the lead and I have not a hell of a lot of confidence in Reed.. I certainly hope he proves me dead wrong. Perhaps he's another guy who can make hay in the bullpen..

[GullyFoyle]

Getting squeezed

[adkindo]

there you go Cody Reed

[mth123]

Three balls, then a K. Hope that gives him some confidence.

[Kc61]

Nice pitching.

[Ron Madden]

WTG Reed!

[mamell]

Nice comeback.. The batter helped him out a bit.. so did the umpire for that matter..

- - - Updated - - -

Reed almost looks like he should be doing the team's taxes or something with those specs..

[Kc61]

Reds should make room for Cody Reed. When a young player is ready to help, get him up. I suspect Cody will be sent back soon when a position player is brought up to “fill out” a four man bench.

I'll certainly take Cody Reed over Duke.

[Wonderful Monds]

Puig!!!!!!!!

[adkindo]

Puig goes high and deep!

[Ron Madden]

Yasial GOES BOOM!!!

[Wonderful Monds]

First GABP home run I think?

[NebraskaRed]

a 3-hit night for Puig

[JCM11]

Puig has absolutely killed the ball tonight.

[Redeye fly]

Reds should make room for Cody Reed. When a young player is ready to help, get him up. I suspect Cody will be sent back soon when a position player is brought up to “fill out” a four man bench.

I'd certainly either try to find him a role up here to see if he can finally contribute or even go on a run and deal him if they decide there isn't a spot for him. He seemed to figure things out a bit last year and guys like him and Stephenson, it's time for them to be contributing up here (and Stephenson has thus far) or show value to another team.

[mamell]

Puig is turning it on finally.. There Ye Go Yasiel! 9-2

[Kc61]

I'll certainly take Cody Reed over Duke.

Trade Peralta or Duke. Make room for Cody who can pitch 2-3 innings for you.

Turn the page.

[corkedbat]

If you put the ball on the tee for Yasiel, he's gonna golf it out.

[Redeye fly]

Puig hitting well may also bode well for other guys in the lineup. Need to get Votto going but it's good to see most everyone else with the exception of Peraza starting to look like they're coming out of the funk.

[adkindo]

a HR for you, a HR for you, a HR for almost everyone

I wouldn't mind Reed sticking IF he can show he can carry his load. I think he's done as a starter, but I've been wrong before about these things..

[Kc61]

The Reds informed Reed that he’s now a reliever. He pitched relief in the minors this year. If he starts, it’ll be a change sometime in the future.

[Wonderful Monds]

If I had the power to do it, I think I would make these the everyday uniforms.

[Ron Madden]

I love Geno

[adkindo]

if Reed is the reason we move Duke....can Reed's nickname become Duke?

[Kc61]

Reed has had control problems, but he has real good stuff. Like a left handed Stephenson. This is the kind of dynamic arm you need in the pen. He’ll have his bad games, like they all do, but I’d try to keep him.

I hate the hats.

Duke Reed?

I like it

[Kc61]

Look at that.

[Ron Madden]

WOW!!!

[adkindo]

I think the uniforms are cool throwbacks....but they remind me of a 1950's milk man.

[mamell]

Whoosh! I thought we were gonna be looking at 9-5 with Sandovol coming up next.. Reed fixed it.

[Ironman92]

What a bounce back

[Kc61]

Reed came back from 3-0 to strike out two batters in that outing. On three straight pitches each time.

Impressive.

[mamell]

I hate the hats.

Can't please everyone.. They're not my favorite either, but I've seen worse..

[adkindo]

I have not collected baseball cards since I have been an adult.....anyone know which rookie card is the one to have in regards to Senzel? There are like a thousand different ones these days.

[mth123]

Can't please everyone.. They're not my favorite either, but I've seen worse..

They need to be Red and the C needs to be the Wishbone C. I could even tolerate the white, but not the C.

[Kc61]

Let Reed finish the game? Probably not, why push it, but he certainly has the juice to go another inning. Would save 8 pen guys a night’s work.

[Ron Madden]

Good Eye Nick!

[757690]

Senzel has wheels, so Giants need to be careful.

[Ironman92]

The Senzel vs Peraza base on balls race remains hot

[mth123]

Senzel has wheels, so Giants need to be careful.

??

[Ron Madden]

Senzel has wheels, so Giants need to be careful.

Don’t usually steal with a 7 run lead

[757690]

Don’t usually steal with a 7 run lead

Last night kinda proves that philosophy misguided.

[Kc61]

Peraza’s been disappointing, his plate discipline took a step back after improvement last year.

But he has hit in some bad luck, that line drive as an example.

[adkindo]

since Senzel has arrived, we are averaging 10 runs scored a game

[mth123]

Don’t usually steal with a 7 run lead

No kidding. After waiting this long, we don't need him getting plunked by some scrub pitcher who throws 97.

I know they are wearing throwback uniforms, but not even Clint Hurdle plays that way anymore.

[mamell]

Well, let's see Cody close it out and we walk away with a 9-2 win..

[Ironman92]

This has been one of the more enjoyable games of the year

[Ron Madden]

I know they are wearing throwback uniforms, but not even Clint Hurdle plays that way anymore.

Wanna bet?

[757690]

Wanna bet?

I’m not taking anything for granted after last night.

[fondfoat]

Well, last night showed why you ignore stupid traditions and play out the whole game. No lead is safe.

[Ron Madden]

I’m not taking anything for granted after last night.

I understand but nobody steals with a 7 run lead

[adkindo]

Bell going to change pitchers for the last out :laugh:

[Burger Beer]

This is what Cody Reed needed.

[adkindo]

Cody Freakin Reed!

[Ron Madden]

Reds Win !!!

[The Operator]

Reds win!

Welcome back Cody Reed!!!!

[Kc61]

Reed, great outing. Just outstanding.

[Ironman92]

Man the Reds pitchers went right at them tonight. Aggressive and confident

[emoji122][emoji122][emoji3][emoji122][emoji3][emoji3][emoji122][emoji122][emoji122]

[mamell]

Good on Cody Reed! 9-2, a Home Run by the rookie Senzel and Cody Reed back to the big show! It don't get much better than that!

[Ironman92]

If you didn’t thoroughly enjoy that win...stay away tomorrow

[UPRedsFan]

This is what Cody Reed needed.

Good bye Zach. Maybe you can catch the same bus with Matt.

[GullyFoyle]

Need to wear these uniforms till they lose again.

[mth123]

Nice outing for Reed. Really good that the rest of the pen got the night off.

[adkindo]

I really hope this is the beginning of our push back to over .500. I do not know if this team can win the division..or even finish 2nd or 3rd....but we should be over .500

[mamell]

I have to be honest. After last night I thought this team's spirits were broken and we were looking down the barrel of a sweep by the Giants. I'm sooo glad I was dead wrong.

[Ron Madden]

I Love It!

Can a pitching coach make that much of a difference?
The difference is night and day

[stein1214]

Get out of your team's way and look what happens.

[mamell]

Ha! my dad refused to watch this game after i told him about last night..To be honest i almost didn't watch it myself. I'm glad i did though..

[Roy Tucker]

This is a very simple game. You throw the ball, you catch the ball, you hit the ball. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it rains.

[757690]

I understand but nobody steals with a 7 run lead

Whitey Herzog would.

He once told the Giants manager, Roger Craig, “I’ll agree to stop stealing bases if you agree to stop scoring runs.”

[mamell]

This my old butt rounding the kitchen and heading to bed.. G'night folks!

To see Puig celebrate like that for Senzel’s homer makes it hard for me to believe he’s a drain on the clubhouse. I gotta think the pros out weigh the cons there.

Abso-freakin-lutely


I know he hasn't hit so far this year and yea he'll occasionally make a boneheaded play (so does Votto for that matter) but how can you not like Puig? He's all in all the time and seems like a great teammate.

I know Zack Greinke supposedly had a problem with him but knowing what I know about Greinke, I'm pretty sure I'd come down on the side of Puig.

[BCubb2003]

So we’re canceling the Apocalypse?

Greinke and Puig sounds like the worst possible teammate match. Puig isn’t for everyone but man I love him being on the Reds

[Sea Ray]

20K Bobbleheads? LOL I think you could go in the 9th inning and still get one...but have fun!

You were right. 24K attendance. I don't think they ran out of bobbleheads.

Very fun to attend. I'll get to say that I was at the game where Nick Senzel hit his first HR

[cumberlandreds]

Good bounce back win from about a bad a loss as you can have.

Roark looked very good and was needed very much. Reed looked very good too. The combo by those two helped rest a weary bullpen. Maybe Bell learned something from last to just stick with your starters just little longer when they are going good.

Bats are coming alive. 11 runs last night and 9 tonight. Hopefully a good sign with the weather warming up.

[Tony Cloninger]

Great way to come back and let all of us know that the season is not over.

That X Men movie blew. It should have never been televised

[Alabama]

Great win. I’ll always be able to say I was at a barn wedding in Hokes Bluff Al wearing a bolo tie when Senzel hit his first home run.

Here in Mississippi we marry our livestock, or sometimes a pickup or a really nice rifle, but we never marry our barns. Geez, you Alabama-ians are total hicks!
