[mamell]

Puttin em at risk once more.. I'm fixin to watch the game.. again.

[mamell]

Can anyone recall the last .300 (or close) hitting outfield for the Reds?

[mamell]

There ya go Nick..

[Ron Madden]

Nick leads the game off with a hit to RF

- - - Updated - - -

Joey lines a hit to RF

[Big Klu]

First Mark Grace reference of the day.

[mamell]

Votto heating up.. This is good news..

[757690]

Over/Under on the number of times Thom minimizes Votto’s recent success.

[Tom Servo]

Hit, hit, hit! 1-0 Redlegs

[Ron Madden]

Geno RBI Single

[mamell]

Nice, quick lead.. No out yet..

[Ron Madden]

Puig with another hit Bases Loaded

[Tom Servo]

bleh, DP ball

Get another run though

[Norm Chortleton]

Might be a good idea to watch the 3rd base coach there

[Ron Madden]

Iglesias rolls into a DP a run scores

[mamell]

Bases loaded have not been the Reds friend this year, but still get the run..

- - - Updated - - -

Despite the DP w/bases loaded up I'll still take 2 runs to lead it off.

[mamell]

Might be a good idea to watch the 3rd base coach there

IDK...Heyward was playing towards left, just a bit deep.. Could have gone either way.. Still got the run.

[Tom Servo]

Schwarber really thought that wasn't a strike lol

[Norm Chortleton]

IDK...Heyward was playing towards left, just a bit deep.. Could have gone either way.. Still got the run.Heyward deeked him. You know a fielder can't get to it when the put their glove up that early

[Ron Madden]

IDK...Heyward was playing towards left, just a bit deep.. Could have gone either way.. Still got the run.

Heyward decoyed him like he was gonna catch the ball

[Tom Servo]

Roark didn't get a strike 3 called he deserved but does retire Bryant.

[Ron Madden]

I like Roark but lord have mercy he throws a lotta pitches

[Tom Servo]

uh oh, two two out singles

[mamell]

It's a singles day so far.. Hope Roark can keep it to singles as well..

[NebraskaRed]

totally thought the game started at 1:30. Just catching up.

Thom really went out of his way to let everyone know that Votto's hits haven't been up to Thom's standards.

[Tom Servo]

25 pitches by Roark but he works out of danger

[fielder's choice]

That was literally right down the middle bub

[mamell]

There ya go Mr Roark! Get em looking just like a Red!

[Ron Madden]

Reds 2
Cubs 0

After 1 inning

[Norm Chortleton]

If Contreras thinks that's a ball, I don't know what to tell him

[mamell]

Not that I like Thom either, but...most devices are equipped with a volume control these days..

[Tom Servo]

damn Baez made that look easy

[mamell]

If Contreras thinks that's a ball, I don't know what to tell him

Argue with the ump.. It never fails to get em to see it your way on called strikes..

- - - Updated - - -


damn Baez made that look easy

Davey Concepcionesque.. He was sooo good at those kinds of balls..

[NebraskaRed]

Reds should be trying to get Quintana's pitch count up and get to that bullpen as soon as possible.

[mamell]

Reds should be trying to get Quintana's pitch count up and get to that bullpen as soon as possible.

Pretty sure that's the goal, but it just didn't seem to work this time around.. Maybe the 3rd will be our inning to send him to the showers.. The good news is we start back at the top of the lineup next time around.

[ochoa30]

Reds should be trying to get Quintana's pitch count up and get to that bullpen as soon as possible.

Yeah, that inning didnt help. Atleast Roark saw some pitches.

[Ron Madden]

Quintana has fewer pitches in 2 innings than Tanner does in one inning

[mamell]

Got lucky that was a foul ball..

[NebraskaRed]

nice K of Heyward

[mamell]

Quintana has fewer pitches in 2 innings than Tanner does in one inning

I think the difference is Roark is a workhorse innings eater.. He can throw a lot of pitches and keep going..

[Ron Madden]

3 Ks in a row

[Ron Madden]

I think the difference is Roark is a workhorse innings eater.. He can throw a lot of pitches and keep going..

He is a workhorse but 20 pitches an inning has him at 100 in 5 innings

[NebraskaRed]

Quintana and his .056 batting average was taking his sweet time there

[Ron Madden]

Reds 2
Cubs 0

At the end of 2 innings

[mamell]

He is a workhorse but 20 pitches an inning has him at 100 in 5 innings

True, but striking out more than half the lineup means throwing a MINIMUM of 3 pitches to each one..

[NebraskaRed]

2008-Edinson Volquez was something to see

[Ron Madden]

Another hit for Nick

[Tom Servo]

Senzel safe but looks hurt...

[NebraskaRed]

uh oh, Senzel is grabbing his arm

[corkedbat]

JFC. Hope it was his funny bone.

[Ron Madden]

Oh No hope Senzel is alright

[membengal]

I can’t believe this.

[Tom Servo]

looks like he's alright

[mamell]

Ouch.. Hope Nick's OK..just a jam.. Great defense there, eh?

[Norm Chortleton]

Is there a term for the defense screwing up a Tootblan? If not there should be

[NebraskaRed]

he's still holding his arm

[mamell]

Intentional brush back pitch to Votto..

[NebraskaRed]

classic Votto AB here

[Tom Servo]

Cubs broadcast impressed with what Votto is doing this series, is Thom disappointed with that hit too?

[fielder's choice]

I missed Votto

[Ron Madden]

Here Comes Joey Votto!!!

There we go fellas.. Nice AB by Joey..

[Ron Madden]

Geno gets the run in

[mamell]

YIPPY! another across the plate!

[NebraskaRed]

that was some throw by Schwarber...

[ochoa30]

Still worried about that Senzel play. Hopefully no lingering effects. Bad timing going into a double header tomorrow.

[kaldaniels]

Good question being raised - who is starting on Tuesday?

[NebraskaRed]

Good question being raised - who is starting on Tuesday?

I think it's you

[Ron Madden]

Good question being raised - who is starting on Tuesday?

It could be Lucas Sims.

I started a thread about it in ORG

[mamell]

Quintana up to 45 pitches himself now..

[NebraskaRed]

Thom just said the Pirates have had good starting pitching then goes on to mention their struggles with starting pitching

[Tom Servo]

Cubs with some good fortune that the Reds aren't leading by more

[NebraskaRed]

if Quintana is doctoring the ball somehow, it ain't working today

[Ron Madden]

Nice Play by Descalso

[ochoa30]

Nice Play by Descalso

He only needed 4 chances in the inning, lol. Tough break for Winker. He could have used that one.

[mamell]

I think it's you

I'll start for them and see who can hit my 19 mph fastball rolling up to the plate.. lol

[Tom Servo]

Roark making the kid from Middletown look foolish.

[Ron Madden]

Sit Down Middletown

[ochoa30]

Thom is turning on Schwarber, haha

[ochoa30]

Man, Rizzo is on fire.

[Ron Madden]

That’s a damn strike

[NebraskaRed]

bah, stupid bad hop

[Tom Servo]

two out trouble again, Pereza should have been able to glove it

[fielder's choice]

Come on Peraza, that's pretty terrible

[Tom Servo]

Senzel throws em out at home!!

[757690]

At least Peraza makes up for his poor defense by hitting... wait, oh, never mind.

[NebraskaRed]

"This will lead to a run...."

Runner is thrown out at the plate

[Ron Madden]

Nick guns him down!!!

[membengal]

Suck it Thom - not a run.

[ochoa30]

What a great throw!!

[NC Reds]

Great throw Nick.

[membengal]

Still not sure if Senzel can handle CF...

[Tom Servo]

Still not sure if Senzel can handle CF...
#TeamSchebler

[Ron Madden]

Tucker and David Ross woulda dropped that throw

[GAC]

That last AB by Votto was solid. He's having a good series. And in my opinion Roarke is justified being miffed at this ump's calls.

[NebraskaRed]

I'm really pulling for Peraza but he looks so disinterested at the plate.

[Big Klu]

Tucker and Dan Ross woulda dropped that throw

Dan Ross caught EVERYTHING that was thrown his way!

https://i.pinimg.com/originals/35/0a/62/350a62b529492827263ff4151df373d8.jpg


Maybe you meant David Ross?

[mamell]

I saw the throw by Senzel.. Fine, fine throw to end the inning.. That was a big league play..

[fielder's choice]

I'm really pulling for Peraza but he looks so disinterested at the plate.

Really not sure that guy is a major league player. Like what does he do well?

[Ron Madden]

Thanks Big Klu I did mean David Ross

[SomeCallMeTim]

I’m no physics major, but wouldn’t a ball “straight up in the air”, logically be caught by the catcher, and not the CF?

Fly ball, center field...

Almost a .300 hitter last year.. That ain't nothing.

There ain't nothing little about Tanner Roark.. lol

[mamell]

Stuck out on ball 4.. Thatta way Tanner..

[Ron Madden]

Reds 3
Cubs 0

At the end of 4 innings

[fielder's choice]

Almost a .300 hitter last year.. That ain't nothing.

Yea he had a good year but there are lots of guys have had a good year but couldn't hang around. I don't think anyone is banking on him being our shortstop moving forward. I hope not at least.

[NebraskaRed]

Votto failed to go 3 for 3. Release him.

[mamell]

Nap time for me.. Maybe it'll be 20-0 by the time i wake up.

[NebraskaRed]

[adkindo]

right off the lower quad....maybe top of knee

[membengal]

If there’s a worst case scenario for the reds - Thom will voice it.

[Ron Madden]

Geno ropes a ground rule double down the line

[NebraskaRed]

a new entry in the category of interesting baseball names: the Pirates have a pitcher named Montana DuRapau

and he was replaced by Dovydas Neverauskus

[ochoa30]

I like this version of Puig. Keep it up my dude.

[adkindo]

had a coach swear that guys average increase after they take a foul ball off their lower body....claimed it made guys really focus on hitting the ball....have no idea if he had any evidence to support the claim

[NebraskaRed]

how quickly will we get a "What happened to Jose Iglesias?" thread?

[Tom Servo]

bleh of course Iggy hits into two DPs and found a hole the one time there weren’t RIsP

[ochoa30]

Man, these double plays are annoying. Really need to add on.

[adkindo]

Man, these double plays are annoying. Really need to add on.

one of the few things more annoying that striking out looking

[Big Klu]

and he was replaced by Dovydas Neverauskus

That sounds like he should be playing for the Penguins.

[NebraskaRed]

nice job by Roark, but he's at 100 pitches

[Tom Servo]

Gusty outing by Roark, wow.

Just hit 100 pitches but I’d consider letting him start the 6th.

[Ron Madden]

Roark is over 100 pitches but he’s hangin tough

[ochoa30]

Man, gutsy pitching. I'd let him try to go one more inning.

[GAC]

I don't think Roarkes got the gas for the 6th. Solid five innings, pitch count close to 100.

[Ron Madden]

Yeah it looks like that’s all for Tanner today

[GAC]

He's shaking hands in the dug-out, looks like he's done.

[NebraskaRed]

nice hit by Winker

[Tom Servo]

gotta do better than that Jose

[Big Klu]

I'm guessing that the Reds will add an extra pitcher with the 26th roster spot tomorrow, and also VanMeter might be sent down and replaced by a pitcher as well.

[fielder's choice]

Nice AB there Jose. Good effort

[Kingspoint]

Great job, Roark!

He didn't have control of everything, but he got himself out of trouble when he needed.

Now, it's up to Bell to manage this 3-run lead properly.

[JCM11]

Peraza with a brutal one pitch ab. At least swing hard if you're going to hack at the first pitch.

[Kingspoint]

Nice AB there Jose. Good effort

The guy's at 80 pitches and you don't work him? Are you stupid or just lazy?

[NebraskaRed]

like I said, I'm pulling for Peraza, but he's making it really hard

[ochoa30]

Peraza's ability to hit to the opposite field seems to have evaporated this year. Really unfortunate.

[JCM11]

Farmer blasted that one.

[Tom Servo]

Farmer!!

[Ron Madden]

Farmer rbi double 4-0 Reds

[membengal]

Big big pinch hit for farmer.

[ochoa30]

Big hit there. Nice job Kyle!

[NebraskaRed]

someone needs to make a supercut of every time Thom is fooled. It would be 9 hours long.

[GAC]

PH Dbl by Farmer. 4-0 now, we aren't done yet!

[NC Reds]

Really need to get at least one more here.

[ochoa30]

Big AB coming up for Nick. Would love to see his first 3 hit game right here.

[757690]

So it seems the trade with the Dodgers was centered around getting Farmer.

[Panda]

Madden always waits to long to pull his starters

[JCM11]

I'll take it lol, 5-0 Reds

For the record a 7-0 lead in the 6th qualifies as a “huge” lead.

[NebraskaRed]

did anyone catch that weird interaction between Casali and Turner Ward (I think) after Votto's sac fly?

[GAC]

How many Cubs does it take to catch a fly ball? Obviously more than two! lol

[adkindo]

I saw it....thought they were just goofing with each other

I couldn't tell if it was lighthearted or not

[Kc61]

Even with two losses so far, I’m impressed with how the Reds look this road trip.

Bell has to be smart and lucky with bulllpen moves.

If Wood and Gennett come back healthy, they could be pretty good.

[NebraskaRed]

man, that was a bad AB by Puig

[GAC]

Yeah, he's on there talking about how much better Joey has been at the plate .... but adds he's got to start driving in more runs LOL Geez

we'll see how this game turns out, but the fact that they are in a position to even possibly go 3-2 against the Brewers and Cubs on the road fills me with joy

My nap paid off even if I haven't actually napped.. I did go outside to turn off the lawn sprinkler so there's that..
I'm still watching and they're still winning...now by 6..
I suppose there's still time for me to stop watching.. Even with their record when I don't watch I'd rather watch than not..

[Tom Servo]

knew what that roar from Wrigley meant before it even happened on my TV...

[ochoa30]

Ugh. Bad start for Lorenzen. Gotta attack early in the count.

[HammerTime]

He is a workhorse but 20 pitches an inning has him at 100 in 5 innings

He’s pretty much a 5-6 inning pitcher either way IMO with how Bell manages SP.

[HammerTime]

how quickly will we get a "What happened to Jose Iglesias?" thread?

Which is what I’ve been preaching to everyone calling for an extension 150 at bats into the season.

[HammerTime]

Yeah, he's on there talking about how much better Joey has been at the plate .... but adds he's got to start driving in more runs LOL Geez

Don’t make me dig up the at bats with RISP stats. :laugh:

[NebraskaRed]

excellent double play!

[membengal]

In a perfect world , we would have a long relief man who could cover all four of these innings.

Be that guy, Lorenzen.

[Ron Madden]

Alright DP!!

Reds 7
Cubs 1

[ukredsfan]

Stuck at work listening on Sirius. Cubs broadcast is the only one available. That's an all or nothing proposition. Right now it's hilarious. They're talking about Sammy Sosa and a Cleveland game from 1968. I can barely get enough information to follow the game.

[NebraskaRed]

I hope Thom doesn't die from the cold

[InsaneinthBrame]

Yea he had a good year but there are lots of guys have had a good year but couldn't hang around. I don't think anyone is banking on him being our shortstop moving forward. I hope not at least.

BTW after a tough start Peraza has been hitting well especially the last two weeks when he has been the best Reds hitter .273/.360/.591 951 ops 146 rc+ with no strikeouts

[Ron Madden]

you miss that HR? :)

Yeah I missed it had to go to the bathroom then went down stairs for something to drink.

Thanks for the heads up

[GAC]

I hope Thom doesn't die from the cold

Doesn't feel it with the hot air swirling around him.

Peraza the only Reds player, so far, to not reach base.

[Big Klu]

I would have let Lorenzen hit for himself here.

[ochoa30]

I would have let Lorenzen hit for himself here.

I was thinking this myself. Save Dietrich just in case especially considering the lefty pitcher. Oh well.

[Kc61]

Reds with a doubleheader tomorrow, four games in three days against Pirates.

If I were guessing, it would be that Bell will use relievers for one inning today so they are still available tomorrow and Tuesday.

[Ron Madden]

I would have let Lorenzen hit for himself here.

Me too but I guess with the double header tomorrow they don’t want any relievers going more than an inning

[membengal]

In a perfect world, we’d get three innings out of Hughes here.

[Kc61]

Hughes pitching. Bell seems to like to bring guys right back after a tough outing.

Did with Peralta this weekend, and now with Hughes.

[malcontent]

I would have let Lorenzen hit for himself here.
That makes several times Bell has made very questionable calls regarding Lorenzen.

How could he talk about him as a 2-way guy if he never lets him hit, even in the most obvious situations?

[Kc61]

In a perfect world, we’d get three innings out of Hughes here.


With all the games coming up against the Pirates, doubleheader tomorrow, I’d guess Bell will go the other way. And limit Hughes and others to an inning.

But he could decide to “sacrifice” Hughes and let him absorb the rest of this game, three innings. Let the others have a day off before the deluge.

We’ll see, I could understand either decision.

[Ron Madden]

Nice Play Casali !

Reds 7
Cubs 1

Really nice play by Casali. Looked like he tripped but still got him.

[Tom Servo]

He uses Lorenzen as a pinch runner and outfielder but limits his ABs because, a home run or two aside, he's still not a better hitter than any of the actual hitters.

The numbers don't bear that out vs. Peraza. You saw how Lorenzen mashed last year.

Against the LHP Collins? And the other day against a LHP as well, I believe.

Senzel with a great hustle double and his first career 3 hit game!

What are you talking about that makes no sense.

Just because something works out does not make it a smart play. Just like he was picked off earlier but the Cubs botched the rundown.

[WVRedsFan]

Nick made two brain farts and got by with both of them. Amazing. Kid's got it, that's for sure. That against roughest opening schedule I can ever remember.

[North]

More impeccable timing from Thom.

In that situation I have no issue with him pushing the defense to make a good play.

We get it, no matter what Senzel does you're going to claim he was rushed and isn't ready.
