I like it....Dietrich and Casali have been struggling mightily as of late.

[JCM11]

If Scooter can't play he needs to be on the IL.

[stein1214]

I like it....Dietrich and Casali have been struggling mightily as of late.

So has Peraza...

[Qball]

Prolly see DD and Puig rocking it sleeve-less today

[Ironman92]

Let’s win today

[JaxRed]

So has Peraza...

Not as bad as Casali, Dietrich. And he's been sitting. So time to give him a shot.

I'd have sat Iglesias, moved Peraza to SS, and put VanMeter at 2nd. Get another lefty in lineup.

[Equinox]

Need a win today, try to remain within striking distance going into the break

[Tom Servo]

oh great, Senzel limping badly after not being able to make a catch at the wall in CF

[Big Klu]

My comments on the 1956 uniforms:

Caps: Outstanding!
Jerseys: Outstanding!
Pants: Outstanding!
Socks: Outstanding!

Overall: My favorite throwbacks so far, and it isn't close. 9.5/10

(They lose half a point for wearing road uniforms instead of white home unis, and not wearing black shoes.)

Considering your name, no surprise here. :D

[kaldaniels]

I don’t know why in this day and age Thom (and let’s face it other announcers) feel the need to tease us with stuff like “as the game goes on we’ll update you with some news on Alex Wood.”

I mean anyone who cares about Alex Wood can go and get an update from another source in about 10 seconds.

[Tom Servo]

Mahle walks Kipnis with two outs, that's not ideal. He's a LH hitter sure, but he's not very good.

Mahle gets Jose Ramirez to ground out though.

[The Operator]

These uniforms are pretty awesome.

Definitely some farmer tans getting shown off too, lol

[kaldaniels]

Let’s beat the hell out of Trevor Bauer today fellas.

[The Operator]

Really would love to hand Mr. "Emotionally Unavailable" a big L today.

There's just something unlikeable about Bauer.

Senzel with a leadoff walk.

Strike 1 to Joey absolutely a joke.

[kaldaniels]

I didn’t anticipate Votto with a vein sticking out down his bicep.

Strike 1 to Geno awfully high

Here goes Thom

"I bet guys in 1956 weren't wearing those protective pads, were they?"

[Tom Servo]

Tough guy Thom getting on the wuss players today who wear arm pads.

[The Operator]

Puig singles with 2 outs and Senzel moves to 2nd.

Tough guy Thom getting on the wuss players today who wear arm pads.

Thom would probably cry his eyes out getting hit by a 50 mph fastball from a junior high kid.


But yea, those big wusses that wanna protect themselves from 100 mph pitches.

[kaldaniels]

Ump keeps giving that high strike.

[JaxRed]

I only know why in this day and age Thom (and let’s face it other announcers) feel the need to tease us with stuff like “as the game goes on we’ll update you with some news on Alex Wood.”

I mean anyone who cares about Alex Wood can go and get an update from another source in about 10 seconds.

And... it takes 15 seconds to say 'Wood pitched 1.5 innings, gave up one run and felt fine afterwards."

[Big Klu]

Frank Robinson wasn't hit 20 times in 1956 because he was a rookie.

[The Operator]

Frank Robinson wasn't hit 20 times in 1956 because he was a rookie.

Yea, was thinking the same thing myself. We know why guys were throwing at him. Unfortunately.

Crap crap crap

My on the couch suspicion is he’s just bruised/banged up. Good timing for the break.

roids :D

[Big Klu]

The Reds were 91-63 in 1956, finishing in third place in the National League. The Reds were managed by Birdie Tebbetts.

On July 7, 1956 the Reds defeated the Cardinals, 5-2 at Crosley Field. The Reds' lineup:

Johnny Temple 2b
Wally Post rf
Gus Bell cf
Ted Kluszewski 1b
Frank Robinson lf
Ed Bailey c
Ray Jablonski 3b
Roy McMillan ss
Johnny Klippstein p

[The Operator]

Hell of a 2nd inning for Mahle.

1-2-3 with 2 K's and a nice play to run down a pop up.

[The Operator]

Iglesias gets robbed by Allen

[membengal]

You have to be kidding me.

[GAC]

One helluva catch by Allen wow!

[membengal]

Iglesias gets robbed by Allen

That was insane.

[Ironman92]

These two Indians CF have IMO the top two plays of the entire week

[Ironman92]

These Reds can rake. Suarez and Farmer swung at pitches that didn’t even register in the k zone

[GAC]

Farmer looked terrible there Geez

[davereds24]

That ball to Farmer barely even cleared the grass of the infield, lol. Must have been 5 feet from being a strike.

[kaldaniels]

Nice quick K of Bauer. He has to be an automatic out today.

[Ironman92]

Reds team OB% this season is .307

[TheBigLebowski]

Geez.

[The Operator]

Another dink/dunk hit now

Two on, 1 out

Santana coming up

[Tom Servo]

Santana coming up
Dangerous spot here

[Ironman92]

This ump giving both pitchers an inch above and off the zone on most parts of the plate. Players are taking it really well and to me....it’s very refreshing. Ump hasn’t cost anyone anything.

[The Operator]

Santana walks and the bases are loaded

[Tom Servo]

Dangerous spot here
Real dangerous spot now, loaded them up

[JaxRed]

Ok now let’s score some damn runs.

[Tom Servo]

clutch

[GAC]

KKKKK

[North]

They are cursing in Cleveland. :runawaycry:

[Ironman92]

He never gave in....while it was nerve racking and he won’t last past 5 innings, I appreciate him keeping his team in the game by not giving in to the middle of the plate

[The Operator]

Mahle tries to give himself some run support but it does at the track in RF.

1 out

[GAC]

Mahle almost homers to RF LOL

[The Operator]

Pretty sure Dietrich goes to the tanning bed

[Norm Chortleton]

Frank Robinson wasn't hit 20 times in 1956 because he was a rookie.Bob Thurman (0 hbp) just lucky that year?

[Ironman92]

Pretty sure Dietrich goes to the tanning bed

And looks damn good!!!!!!







































....when he’s hitting

[Ironman92]

Dietrich 6 straight PAs that ended in a strikeout

[stein1214]

Ugh Naquin

1-0 Indians

blergh. 1-0 Tribe.

and now Bauer with a single

Very true but there are still some older people that don’t indulge in today’s social media, I have no problem with it.

[ochoa30]

That pitch looked a good 6 inches inside and dude crushed it. Pretty impressive. Always thought Naquin would be much better then hes been. I guess hes dealt with injuries.

[TheBigLebowski]

That 1 run will probably do it. These guys won’t hit Bauer.

[HammerTime]

Sprained ankle for Senzel


Ugh

That was pretty obvious from watching it. Just depends on how severe. I'd guess he will be fine coming out of the break considering he stayed in initially but who knows.

[kaldaniels]

Very true but there are still some older people that don’t indulge in today’s social media, I have no problem with it.

I don't mind the update, but the tease is a bit much.

And God bless the older folks who know who Alex Wood is and want an update, but can't figure out how to get news about him on their own.

Aye Puig gone on 1 pitch

Why? I just don’t get it.

Wait wait wait

Thom saying Cleveland folks would rather send Bauer to the mound in a do or die game over a healthy Kluber?


You lie Thom

"I don't know very much about that...and I don't know that anyone else does either"......."now having said that"........

Sarcasm? Or are just one of those guys that waits for the Reds to be behind before posting. If so, it’s lame.

[TheBigLebowski]

Thom is simply intolerable. Holy hot pancake syrup.

[kaldaniels]

Sarcasm? Or are just one of those guys that waits for the Reds to be behind before posting. If so, it’s lame.

There's a what, 60% chance he is right that the Reds will lose? He's just a shark playing the odds.

[Tom Servo]

Iglesias likely finishing the first half with an OPS slightly over .700, which is about his normal career mark. Lotta people let a hot streak fool them into thinking he’d become an offensive star overnight.

[The Operator]

Whew, we got our Alex Wood update!

[Ironman92]

Iglesias likely finishing the first half with an OPS slightly over .700, which is about his normal career mark. Lotta people let a hot streak fool them into thinking he’d become an offensive star overnight.

What Reds players are above their typical OPS?

[Big Klu]

I have no illusions that he might become an offensive star. But he is a legitimate defensive star right now.

[ukredsfan]

How is it that I would rather listen to Marty and not see the game than watch the game and have to listen to Thom. You'd think there would be some redeeming quality that would be passed along.

[The Operator]

Mahle working himself into trouble again


2 runners aboard, nobody out

Mahle's day is done


Hughes coming in

[Ironman92]

Mahle gonna be ticked lol

[Tom Servo]

I have no illusions that he might become an offensive star. But he is a legitimate defensive star right now.
I love his defense, but there were a lot of posts about his “quick bat” and how he was gonna be a much better hitter moving forward than he’d ever been before.

[TheBigLebowski]

Quick hook again. Should make for an interesting post-game interview

[Ironman92]

Hughes gives up a 2 run double and Mahle seeks out a baby penguin to stab

[JaxRed]

Put Senzel on 10 day DL. He'd only miss 6 games. Drop Reyes from the 40, add either O'Grady or Aquino. Those are the 2 guys that have played CF the last 2 days. Give them a chance.

[TheBigLebowski]

If we ever do get Wood (no double entendres intended), who gets the boot? Disco or Mahle?

[kaldaniels]

2-0 on the sac fly

[Ironman92]

I love his defense, but there were a lot of posts about his “quick bat” and how he was gonna be a much better hitter moving forward than he’d ever been before.

Also has the best hit ball of this game and was robbed of a 2B or 3B by one of the 5 best OF plays I’ve seen all season across MLB

This team can’t hit a lick right now and if anything good happens it’s by the guy everyone wanted benched or out of the 4 hole. Iglesias should be about the 7th best hitter in the lineup every night but that’s been miles from the case. I don’t know the people you are referring to but glad they aren’t posting much

[Rantly]

If we ever do get Wood (no double entendres intended), who gets the boot? Disco or Mahle?

Tough call.

[North]

Thud.

[The Operator]

Hooo boy


Now it's out of hand

[Big Klu]

I guess that since I'm a fan whose formative years were in the 70's and 80's, I'm comfortable with a "light-hitting" gloveman at SS.

[Tom Servo]

Oof

[fielder's choice]

Hughes is pretty worthless

[TheBigLebowski]

My, it was fun for about 10 minutes there, after that last Brewers win. This team is dreck. And I’ve seen enough of Hughes.

[Billy_Bearcat]

Yup. They can’t sustain any momentum. And are we the only team that consistently has more opposing fans at the ballpark than those that root for the home team?

[Ironman92]

I side with Mahle....he showed he could buckle down and make big pitches to get out of a big jam and never gave in over the zone

Hughes just showed you why you can’t miss over the zone

[Tom Servo]

Well the bullpen sure needs the All-Star Break

[NC-Red]

Got swept by our most hated rivals. I am done with this team

I do not understand why Ervin does not get more playing time he one of the few guys that are hiitting.

[stein1214]

Mahle gonna be ticked lol

I think when you allow 9 base runners in 4 innings, including giving up a hit to an AL pitcher, you can't get too ticked about being taken out.

[757690]

A lot of baseball left to be played, this game ain’t over,

[Ironman92]

[Wonderful Monds]

I love his defense, but there were a lot of posts about his “quick bat” and how he was gonna be a much better hitter moving forward than he’d ever been before.

[Burt Gummer]

The Reds bullpen is awful,there's not a 2b or catcher on the roster right now that can hit.Way too much work to do at a trade deadline.To keep guys like Scooter,Puig,Roark,Iglesias and Hernandez is just ignorance

[Ironman92]

Had two good pitches to hit and got rung up on that crap the ump has called all day. Terrible AB

Pick him up Geno

[ochoa30]

That clearly wasnt a strike but you gotta swing the damn bat. That happens way too much with Votto this year. He clearly had no desire to swing in that AB for whatever reason. So frustrating.

[Wonderful Monds]

It did make sense that he might hit another level getting out of Marlins Park or whatever it’s called into GABP, but he obviously wasn’t that good. Granted, he’s probably not this bad either, it’s crazy how hard regression to the norm is hitting him right now.

Maybe that Miami -> hitter’s park boost really doesn’t exist though, Realmuto has been underperforming hard too in Philly.

I’m still confident Dietrich will end with a career year but there was sentiment about how he’d be better than Scooter moving forward and things like that, which kind of ignored that Scooter’s hit great for 2 years while it was 2 months for Dietrich.

Last 5 ABs with RISP and we get 4 Ks and a dribbler to SS. This offense is a joke.

[ukredsfan]

We don't have many players capable of having good AB. When they're hot we look great, but when they're not we can't grind into a few runs and make pitchers work. I'm not sure how to fix that.

[757690]

Farmer is hitting like a Reds catcher.

Any contact at all by Votto and Peraza and you have a game but Bauer made em both look like little leaguers the last couple innings.

[The Operator]

Allen triples leading off the bottom of the 7th


This game is going great

[Ironman92]

Ball 4 to Winker looked better than Strike 3 to Votto.

Bauer our thought Votto that go around. It was obvious Votto was sitting dead red to drive and took an 86 mph curve right down the middle and then a 79 mph curve that caught a good 3 inches of the plate down where lefties can drive it.....then scorched him about an inch and a half high......which had been called all game long.

[Baseballdad]

Boy do we really miss Hamilton!

[NebraskaRed]

Bauer is good. He was very good last year, and he's pretty good this year.

It's not like he's some nobody. But then again, some nobody would probably do this to the Reds lineup too, so...

[Ironman92]

Winker slow and it showed there

[JaxRed]

That's about the first time Winker has looked bad out there.

[The Operator]

Bob with the big K

1 down

[Baseballdad]

That's about the first time Winker has looked bad out there.

First time?? Where have you been???

[Ironman92]

Boy do we really miss Hamilton!

I believe Senzel catches that and 75% of CF around baseball

Mike Fiers no hit them. Nobodies have been doing this all year to this team. Bauer is solid but he can be gotten to. Just not by this horrible offense.

[Ironman92]

That's about the first time Winker has looked bad out there.

Took a misstep which happens but IMO was just a flat out lack of foot speed needed

[RedTeamGo!]

Thom loves him some Trevor Bauer


They must hang out a lot at the annual Blowhard Convention

Haha, I think they are hanging out at a different convention, if you catch my drift. Thom is extremely transparent.

Actually, according to statcast Senzel is approx the same speed as Hamilton with regard to sprints.

[The Operator]

5-1

Why exactly was Hernandez an advantage over Stephenson?

[Ironman92]

Great hitting by Kipnis

[ochoa30]

Amazing what happens when you shorten your swing and just make some contact with a runner on 3rd and less then 2 outs

[Ironman92]

Ok

[ukredsfan]

He's been great all year according to David Bell after his last disaster of an appearance, so there's that.

[Baseballdad]

5-1

Why exactly was Hernandez an advantage over Stephenson?
Because he was! You didn’t see that 0-2 pitch? Just more bad luck!

[davereds24]

It's amazing how Cleveland has performed with all they lost off last year's team and with their injuries to their rotation. I think the Reds would make great trade partners with them. Puig and Roark would fill 2 big needs. The only problem is that they depleted their farm system over the last couple years and the Reds probably think they can get more back than they really can.

[Jomama]

The Indians are a complete team. The Reds...not so much.

[Baseballdad]

Why do our hitters bother bringing a bat with them when the are up to hit?

[Ironman92]

Bauer looks like Max Scherzer out there late in the game just daring you to try and score....except with the same eye color in both eyes

[RedTeamGo!]

The Indians are a complete team. The Reds...not so much.

The Indians are not a complete team this year. Have quite a few holes.

[Tom Servo]

The Indians are a complete team. The Reds...not so much.
They're got good pitching and a fairly poor offense, it helps they get to play the Royals and Tigers a lot.

[Trademark]

Getting harder and harder to root for this team

[Ironman92]

Joey is right a lot and he can recognize with the best of them....but he expects every ball touching the edge of the zone to be a ball

[NebraskaRed]

Bauer has the highest number of IP and pitches thrown in both leagues this year.

[The Operator]

Bauer has the highest number of IP and pitches thrown in both leagues this year.

They're riding him pretty hard. We'll see how he holds up.

[Ironman92]

Bauer has the highest number of IP and pitches thrown in both leagues this year.

A minor reason the Indians bullpen is among the best. Almost always an extra day off for them

[The Operator]

Perez hits an absolute missile to lead off the bottom of the 8th against Hernandez.


That ball was smoked.

- - - Updated - - -

6-1 now


Hernandez looking really bad again

[Ironman92]

Dave is a bit worn down...I guess just keep throwing him out there

[NebraskaRed]

Bell's bullpen management is one of his biggest areas of weakness.

[The Operator]

3rd straight hit off Hernandez

7-1


Bell must hate him

[ukredsfan]

I love/hate this team.

[ochoa30]

Bell must hate Hernandez. I just dont get why he keeps him in when it's so obvious hes got nothing.

[Ironman92]

Bell's bullpen management is one of his biggest areas of weakness.

Pulling the starter at first potential moment 90% of the season takes its toll on the bullpen over the season...even if the moves work

[davereds24]

Good thing Tanner Roark is getting a nice 10 day rest. They should have had a plan for him and Mahle to each go through the lineup twice.

[The Operator]

Bell must hate Hernandez. I just dont get why he keeps him in when it's so obvious hes got nothing.

The Milwaukee game and now this game he's just making him take a beating.


Isn't Tanner Roark supposed to be available today?

- - - Updated - - -

Here comes *another* double switch as Bell finally puts David out of his misery


Jimmy Herget to make his big league debut

[NebraskaRed]

Pulling the starter at first potential moment 90% of the season takes its toll on the bullpen over the season...even if the moves work

And using the same 2 relievers over and over and over takes its toll on this team's W/L record.

[Ironman92]

Thank God....a new arm

[Ironman92]

Herget has a great motion for a greatly effective change up

[mhs95_06]

Yet has nary a thing to say about Geno, who had a nearly identical AB.
But in different situations! Votto's was 1 out and runner on 3rd, and 1st, where you expect the hitter to either get on or get an RBI, where Suarez was a longshot with 2 out to get an RBI.

[North]

Any truth to that bullpen burnout theory?

[The Operator]

Uh oh

Welcome to the bigs Jimmy

9-1

[Kinsm]

excellent way to go into the ASB - sigh -

[JaxRed]

Uh oh

Welcome to the bigs Jimmy

9-1

He has bad splits against lefties.
