[ochoa30]

Really hope Senzel can get going here soon. He has not looked good since leaving that game early in Milwaukee. Just not having good quality AB's like he had been doing so often. Not sure if that has anything to do with it though. Could just be a normal slump.

[Kc61]

I’ll probably miss this game, or most of it, and I’m not sorry. I’m still annoyed at last night’s loss which was one of the most brutal of the season. I hope to check the score late in the evening and see a big Reds lead or victory.

[mamell]

Hopefully Peralta can come back strong, Roark as well, same with Senzel and Garrett would be nice to be able to fire his great slider again once he's back. They're facing a guy who's been on the skids a lot lately so of course he'll look like the Cy Young award pitcher tonight..

[RR1971]

Scooter must be more sick than he looked last night.

[Rolando]

Scooter must be more sick than he looked last night.

I'm beginning to question whether or not scooter really wants to play

[RR1971]

I'm beginning to question whether or not scooter really wants to play
Something is going on. I think maybe he doesn’t want to get traded because he thinks signing with the Reds is his best option because of his injury. I think he would be a risky signing so I’d let him walk.

[Ironman92]

I’m ready for Votto to not be in the bottom 1/3 of OPS of qualified batters in MLB....and not be in bottom 1/5th in slugging %

And my MLB At App lists 247 players on the rbi leaderboard....and Votto isn’t listed. Nearly 100 players don’t have enough PA to qualify for batting title but still more RBI than Joe.

Let’s go Votto

[JaxRed]

I'm beginning to question whether or not scooter really wants to play

It's because a lefty is throwing I suspect

[Rolando]

It's because a lefty is throwing I suspect

That definitely could be it. Hopefully paraza can step it up

[Equinox]

Today and tomorrow are as about as must win as you can get for mid July. After our bullpen cost us last nights game there isn’t much room for error, really need a 4-2 road trip and the Reds are at 0-1.

[adkindo]

any indication if it will be a long delay?

[Kingspoint]

Yeah, that really took the sail out of my interest. I'd completely lost it for several years...got it back after Price was fired, and maintained it until last night. But, it's totally gone again. To once again see all of June and half of July go by without the REDS doing jack about their obvious shortcomings when just a little bit of effort would make a huge difference (trading for a Reliever and getting rid of Hernandez over the last 45 days), when it's pretty clear they are only interested in lining their pockets with revenue while playing bigshots around the Tri-County (look at me! I own part of the Cincinnati Reds) at whatever parties or business functions they attend, it's just too much.

I'll keep one eye open every couple of weeks or so to see if some effort is made, but I'm 99% sure there won't be any effort.

Too many wonderful things in my life to do than to waste any more of my time this year on the Cincinnati Reds.

[North]

Dunno.

The Fox sports channel affiliate here in Cincinnati his replaying a canned interview with Johnny Bench.

Sad.

[Big Klu]

I've never seen this one before. I wonder who the players were that they brought in and the Big Four vetoed?

Boooooo! I enjoy drinking to the Reds on Saturday games and this game needs to get started

Peralta has been terribly mismanaged this season. He is far from alone.

[kaldaniels]

The Rockies Network canned interview is Ramiel Tapia eating crab for what it’s worth.

[Equinox]

I looked at the radar, I doubt we get this game in

[adkindo]

I just looked at the Denver's Doppler radar, and it looks worse than Baton Rouge....not sure this game gets played.

[North]

Thankfully, yet another Jonny Bench whining session is over on the local tv feed.

[Reds Fanatic]

Looks like on and off storms in Denver for the next few hours so it is either going to be a very late start tonight or a DH tomorrow

[woodyjoe]

Every stadium should have a dome!

[KronoRed]

Every stadium should have a dome!

Reds will be asking Hamilton county for one very soon.

[gagliano]

Thankfully, yet another Jonny Bench whining session is over on the local tv feed.

yup

[kaldaniels]

Reds will be asking Hamilton county for one very soon.

What’s the thinking on this for those folks close to the action in Cincy? GABP is right around the corner from its 20th birthday. Is it here to stay?

[mamell]

I may return to watching The Day the Earth Stood Still... You know the spaceman landed on a baseball field, right?

[KronoRed]

Depends if they can retrofit a roof onto it, probably take demolishing the arena.

[mamell]

Probably has another 5 years to go, but don't count our Mikey out forcing a new stadium on Hamilton County tax payers because they'll go 9-7 someday soon which everyone knows is BIG TIME NFL football.. and worthy of another 50 billion dollars.. :mooner: The B doesn't stand for Bengals.. It stands for Billion$$$$$... Give em time..They'll pretend to change the name to Tigers and use a T for Trillion$$$$$ before it's all said and done.. Cynical? Who me? :rolleyes:

[davereds24]

Bengals will leave when their lease expires in 2026 I believe. They will head to Oakland, St Louis, etc and then the Reds will have all the leverage to get a new stadium built. Everything they did to GABP for the ASG will be over 10yrs old. A new stadium around 2030 would put GABP's life at about the same as Riverfront.

[adkindo]

Every stadium should have a dome!

like Tropicana Field ;)

[adkindo]

they are going to wait and try to play this one because this is the Reds only trip to Denver, and the Rockies already have a doubleheader scheduled for Monday.

Are you doubting the wisdom of elected officials to make secret deals that would rob Peter to pay Mike?

[North]

TV FS1 Ohio just showed the big potential for lightning

Very likely a postponement.

It's Saturday night, you young folks...get out there and have a night! :thumbup:

[Ironman92]

Rockies have a DH on Monday

[adkindo]

Rockies have a DH on Monday

would they double up in a couple weeks when the Rockies come to Cincy?

[KronoRed]

Rockies have a DH on Monday

They can play 2 in a row... Lollygaggers

[Tadasimha]

Rockies have a DH on Monday


They can play 2 in a row... Lollygaggers

Kids today, amirite? Now hurry up and play the game so I can get to bed, it's late enough already!

[Ironman92]

11:20

[Tadasimha]

First pitch 9:20 Denver time

[BluegrassRedleg]

11:20 ET first pitch.

[Tom Servo]

Hope they don't get no hit like in Oakland :scared:

[adkindo]

11:20

it is late, but I will take it if can rid me of the taste of last night's game

[Tadasimha]

Hope they don't get no hit like in Oakland :scared:

Getting the reverse jinx going early! :thumbup::pray::drink:

[Big Klu]

I may return to watching The Day the Earth Stood Still... You know the spaceman landed on a baseball field, right?

The original with Michael Rennie and Patricia Neal, or the remake with Keanu Reeves?

Klaatu, Barata, Nikto!

[Ironman92]

Reds 8-4

Book it

[JT Redlegs]

Hope they don't get no hit like in Oakland :scared:

Getting no-hit by a guy just back up from AAA with an ERA over 7... sounds like something we would do.

Maybe Kyle Freeland will doctor up the ball all night like Fiers did.

[Ron Madden]

Remember that Oakland series some members where really ticked off, they thought the Reds shoulda thumped the A's because they were a under .500 ballclub. Now the A's are 11 games over .500.

[Ironman92]

One of the best non outs I’ve ever seen. Elite is almost a knock on how good Arenado is

[JaxRed]

Senzel beats a dribbler to third. Lunged at the bag. Hate to see that. Joey against a lefty, not hopeful.

[BluegrassRedleg]

Senzel's socks = awful

[JaxRed]

Joey hits into DP.... sigh...

[Tom Servo]

lol they're gonna make Freeland look good tonight, aren't they

[Ironman92]

Senzel Home to 1st.... 3.92

Votto home to 1st.....4.37 (left side)

Joey was running though.....Joey had a 4.82 about 10 games ago

[JaxRed]

Suarez goes down swinging. Lineup was NOT as righty as you can get. Farmer could be playing first.

[InsaneinthBrame]

The REds offense is just offensive.
Only Orioles and Tigers have been worse

[adkindo]

Roark looked unhappy, but I do not think Ervin could have made the play at 2nd.

- - - Updated - - -

clown show

[BluegrassRedleg]

Not even one complete inning in the books, and it's a complete ****show.

[Big Klu]

I wonder if the E9 was due in part to the ball being wet.

[Ironman92]

Reds gonna win...feels obvious

[adkindo]

wish it would have been rained out

[InsaneinthBrame]

Fudge lets pray for rain

[Fil3232]

Lol I’m not staying up for this

[Ironman92]

I wonder if the E9 was due in part to the ball being wet.

I think he was throwing behind runner but didn’t realize no one covering

[adkindo]

I wonder if the E9 was due in part to the ball being wet.

I think he just realized at last second nobody was on first

[Ironman92]

We got this

[JCM11]

Rockies getting in some late night BP.

[JaxRed]

Well this got ugly quickly. Broken bat opposite field single. Then a deep fly ball that Ervin plays casually, and runner goes to 2nd. Then a grounder to Puig who changes his throw at the last minute, and he throws a 12 bouncer to the infield. Peraza can't handle the bounce and runner goes to second.

Then Arredondo goes deep 3-0.

Then an opposite field hit scores the guy art second but this time Ervin is on it and throws out runner at 2b.

[BluegrassRedleg]

Roark lost all focus when Ervin half-assed the ball back into the infield. It cost him.

[adkindo]

nice play by Ervin

[50YrRedsFan]

Rox with 4 hits from the first 5 batters. Probably more than the Reds will get all game.

now 5 hits.

[Ironman92]

Nice play by Ervin

[BluegrassRedleg]

This is what professional hitters look like.

[ochoa30]

You just dont see the Reds getting hits like this. Sometimes you gotta credit the hitters.

[Ironman92]

Roark lost all focus when Ervin half-assed the ball back into the infield. It cost him.

Watching the replay....he didn’t assume runner was tagging and he should have but replay showed no chance to get Blackmon there

[757690]

Rockies have the first female play by play announcer I’ve ever heard doing tonight’s game. Jenny Cavner. She’s very good.

[Tom Servo]

At least we can’t accuse them of giving us some false hope, it’s just not a team that’s gonna leapfrog Chicago and Milwaukee. Retool and reload for 2020.

[BluegrassRedleg]

Watching the replay....he didn’t assume runner was tagging and he should have but replay showed no chance to get Blackmon there

I would tend to agree, but it had the same effect on Roark. Ervin didn't know, and that's what pissed Roark off.

[Ironman92]

Rockies have their 4 runs....that’s all

Reds will score 8

[JT Redlegs]

This could end up being one of those 15-14 Coors Field specials if the reds can hold up their end of that scenario.

[Ron Madden]

No lead is really safe in this ballpark

[adkindo]

big nights from Ervin and Peraza going to save us....

[ochoa30]

This could end up being one of those 15-14 Coors Field specials if the reds can hold up their end of that scenario.

Honestly even if they lose that would be refreshing but I'm not holding my breath. If this team cant hit at Coors they cant hit anywhere.

[Ironman92]

Rockies have the first female play by play announcer I’ve ever heard doing tonight’s game. Jenny Cavner. She’s very good.

Straight up in the air

[Ironman92]

That could be the 4th infield hit in 5 AB for Puig

[ochoa30]

Lol, the weak dribbler to third is this teams only offense.

[adkindo]

Lol, the weak dribbler to third is this teams only offense.

from a guy that looks like he could hit it to Colorado Springs

[JT Redlegs]

Honestly even if they lose that would be refreshing but I'm not holding my breath. If this team cant hit at Coors they cant hit anywhere.

If they can't hit Kyle Freeland, they might as well "re-start the rebuild" for the tenth time.

[BluegrassRedleg]

LOL. Cue ball.

[adkindo]

crushing it tonight

[Ironman92]

from a guy that looks like he could hit it to Colorado Springs

Sexy hits lol

Puig ....no man’s land but did all he could

[Ron Madden]

All teams can look silly sometimes

[RR1971]

Time for an Iglesias double play ball

[adkindo]

Puig was in a tough position on that hit

[Ironman92]

Time for an Iglesias double play ball

Not even close

[Norm Chortleton]

Creeper: "The Reds are driving it to all parts of the infield."

[adkindo]

lucky not a dp

[Ironman92]

Peraza looks ready to make 4 outs today

[RR1971]

[QUOTE=Ironman92;3979606]Not even close[/QUOTE
Pitcher messed it up.

[Ironman92]

Peraza looks ready to make 4 outs today

RR....this is a proper reverse jinx

[JT Redlegs]

Jose gets us on the board with a nice piece of oppo hitting

[BluegrassRedleg]

This game may end at 4 AM.

[adkindo]

big nights from Ervin and Peraza going to save us....

:thumbup:

[Ironman92]

Casali no chance vs Freeland

[Tadasimha]

On the board at least

[JT Redlegs]

Casali no chance vs Freeland

We'll take the productive out. Chip away and get back into this thing... whole lot of game left.
(edit... oh, I see what you're doing there)

[Ironman92]

Roark...no way

[JaxRed]

Luckily pitcher was hitting 9th.

[RR1971]

Roark has swing at two balls.

[Big Klu]

Luckily pitcher was hitting 9th.

This is why you bat the pitcher 9th. Push him as far down the lineup as possible.

[adkindo]

ok, at least we have some life

[Tadasimha]

Roark...no way

two out a three ain't bad!

[RR1971]

For a guy who has played in the NL so long Roark doesn’t look very good at the plate.

- - - Updated - - -


ok, at least we have some life
We may come back in this one.

[JT Redlegs]

Need a nice bounce-back inning from Roark here and start building some positive momentum.

[Ironman92]

Hitting is kinda hard

[Big Klu]

4-6-yessiree-3!

[Tadasimha]

Deeeeeeeee - P!

[adkindo]

Hitting is kinda hard

idk, looks kinda easy on tv ;)

[Ironman92]

Lol. No homecoming for Story

Edit: cooking that is

[Ironman92]

idk, looks kinda easy on tv ;)

You must not watch the top half of these innings

[CrackerJack]

That called strike was...clearly not

[Tadasimha]

Lol. No homecoming for Story

less a story and more a tale

[Ironman92]

Fast

[Ron Madden]

Triple!!!

[JT Redlegs]

I would love to get my hands on a Brick Senzel bobblehead

[adkindo]

Senzel with a lead off triple!

[Tadasimha]

Here we go - good start, Nick

[Ironman92]

Senzel home to 3rd.... 11.21

[JaxRed]

Every time he slides I hold my breath, No wonder he hurt his ankle

[BluegrassRedleg]

Senzel says three outcome baseball sucks.

[Ron Madden]

4-3

[Big Klu]

Votto with a single, but only one RBI.

#notelite

[ochoa30]

Nice triple but dude needs major sliding practice. Hes sliding way too late and is going to keep jamming his ankle and or knee if not much worse.

[Ironman92]

There you go Joseph....climbing the RBI leaders chart

[adkindo]

I would love to get my hands on a Brick Senzel bobblehead

they are on ebay....$25....$35...etc.

[Ironman92]

Boo Welsh

[Tom Servo]

ughhh thought Puig got that one

[JT Redlegs]

Chuck Nasty with a great grab at the wall to retire Puig... helluva ball player.

[WVRedsFan]

Things I learned tonight. Senzel can fly.

[Tadasimha]

Didn't quite barrel that one up

[Ironman92]

Puig has been robbed of 4 hits in 7 AB

[Ironman92]

I’m at 1%

Enjoy the win guys

[adkindo]

looked like a jail tattoo

[JT Redlegs]

Kyle Freeland evidently gets his tattoos from a 12-year-old.

[Tom Servo]

Ervin ties it up!

[ochoa30]

Things I learned tonight. Senzel can fly.

It's kind of hilarious how underrated his speed has been since getting drafted. It was listed as an average to slightly above tool. It's clearly way better then that.

[BluegrassRedleg]

Triples! Triples! Triples!

[CrackerJack]

Ervin crushin' lefties

[WVRedsFan]

Tie game. Coors Field. Think I'll toast with a Banquet brew

[Ron Madden]

Three triples for Ervin this season

[JT Redlegs]

What are the odds this game is over before 3AM?

[Big Klu]

Triples! Triples! Triples!

You get a triple! And you get a triple!

https://i.imgur.com/JNhU5Tt.gif

[JT Redlegs]

At least Nolan is on my fantasy team... sigh

[Tom Servo]

So much for the tie game, 5-4 Rox. ERA's are gonna take a beating tonight.

[Ron Madden]

I thought Senzel got him rounding 2nd there

[Norm Chortleton]

What replay are the reds watching?

[adkindo]

was close

[WVRedsFan]

Roark getting hit hard. Get somebody up in the pen.

[RR1971]

I think he got him

[Tadasimha]

didn't think he got him at first but from the outfield view I think he got him

[adkindo]

not sure they have enough to overrule...might have got him on shoulder

[Norm Chortleton]

I think he got himIglesias didn't. He went back 2 more times

[mamell]

So am I correct in assuming this aint Roark's best outing to date?

[Tadasimha]

time to shut this down, Tanner

[coryfly]

Feel like when the guy making the tag acknowledges he missed him perhaps it isn't the best one to review. Need Roark to really get out of this with no more damage.

[Big Klu]

3-6-yessiree-1!

[Ron Madden]

3-6-1 DP

[coryfly]

Nice DP there. A lot of awkward spills so far.

[Tadasimha]

Awkward but effective! Get that run back and a few more!

[BluegrassRedleg]

3-6-just for fun-1

[Norm Chortleton]

Roark gets the fewest ground balls from lefties in the league, and has 2 dps tonight. Go figure

[Big Klu]

Feel like when the guy making the tag acknowledges he missed him perhaps it isn't the best one to review. Need Roark to really get out of this with no more damage.

I have always thought that team challenges should be initiated from the field, based on what the manager sees from the dugout or on the word of the players on the field. They shouldn't be allowed to consult with replay before challenging the play.

[InsaneinthBrame]

WEll the Reds have hit lefties better than righties so there is hope

[BluegrassRedleg]

Triples! Triples! Triples!

[Tadasimha]

Triples ahoy!

[mamell]

Maybe Peraza will turn it on big time the 2nd half. Reds could definitely use his bat scorching..

[coryfly]

Pereza 2-2 with the Reds third triple. Need Casali to come through here with Roark up. Huge to take third there.

[adkindo]

big nights from Ervin and Peraza going to save us....

2 Singles and 2 Triples...4 for 4 on the night so far....just sayin

[ochoa30]

Great job by Casali tonight so far

[Big Klu]

Triples! Triples! Triples!

You get a triple! And you get a triple! And you get a triple!

https://i.imgur.com/JNhU5Tt.gif

[WVRedsFan]

5-5. So it's going to be that kind of night?

[mamell]

Roark gives up 5 in 3 innings, 10 hits and still hitting for himself.. That's uhmm...confidence or ignorance.. Take your pick..

[Ron Madden]

Nick another triple

[Big Klu]

You get a triple! And you get a triple! And you get a triple! And you get another triple!

https://i.imgur.com/JNhU5Tt.gif

Senzel obviously not a fan of the cycle, lol

[BluegrassRedleg]

TRIPLES! TRIPLES! TRIPLES! :laugh:

[adkindo]

Senzel obviously not a fan of the cycle, lol

right...I may have stopped at 2nd

[Tom Servo]

In 5 years we will still be talking about The Triples Game

[Big Klu]

Roark gives up 5 in 3 innings, 10 hits and still hitting for himself.. That's uhmm...confidence or ignorance.. Take your pick..

He has to eat some innings, especially since the score is close. You can't burn up the bullpen in a game like this.

[BluegrassRedleg]

Ryan M. Spaeder @theaceofspaeder

The #Reds have four triples through the first four innings in a game for the first time since July 22, 1926.

[Big Klu]

In 5 years we will still be talking about The Triples Game

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DkpupooX4AAQN2L.jpg

[Norm Chortleton]

Senzel takes the early lead among Reds in the effort to tie Puig's mark of 3 triples in a game in the modern era (shared by many).

[mamell]

Both pitchers hitting after 5 runs apiece.. You don't see that too often anymore.

[ochoa30]

Both pitchers hitting after 5 runs apiece.. You don't see that too often anymore.

True but probably pretty common in Colorado

[Big Klu]

How many triples and inside-the-park HR's could Billy Hamilton have if he played half his home games at Coors Field?

[mamell]

Ryan M. Spaeder @theaceofspaeder

The #Reds have four triples through the first four innings in a game for the first time since July 22, 1926.

Exactly 33 years before my birthday.. My birthday in case you haven't guessed is July twenty tooth..

[malcontent]

Another good start for Brendan McKay. Only 23, and looks like a stud. What could have been, if not for Buckley.

[Tom Servo]

Geno...this guy has next to nothing right now. Come on

[WVRedsFan]

Geno...this guy has next to nothing right now. Come on

Geno looks like maybe he is a guess hitter an he's not guessing well.

[Ron Madden]

Senzel is almost as fast as Billy Hamilton and he’s a much better hitter, think how many triples he’d have playing 81 games at Coors Field

[adkindo]

there you go Ervin....need a HR

[coryfly]

No one in this game knows how many outs there are.

[Big Klu]

Senzel is almost as fast as Billy Hamilton and he’s a much better hitter, think how many triples he’d have playing 81 games at Corrs Field

Almost as fast? Senzel is quick, but I think there is a significant difference in their game speed.

Senzel is a much better hitter, though, and has enough speed that he would have a lot of triples in Coors Field.

[Ron Madden]

That was a shot!

[WVRedsFan]

6-5. Get Roark out of there. It was just a matter of time

[adkindo]

6-5. Get Roark out of there. It was just a matter of time

not sure....I think I trust Roark more than anyone in the bullpen.

[BluegrassRedleg]

6-5. Get Roark out of there. It was just a matter of time

I'd rather have him battling out there than the dudes from the pen lately.

[JaxRed]

I'd be thinking about Stevenson.

[adkindo]

I thought Ervin caught that

[coryfly]

Eh, he just missed it.

[WVRedsFan]

I rest my case. I could see it coming

[BluegrassRedleg]

Story during the All-Star Break documented how bad the Rockies' production has been from Murphy. So, of course, he's hitting bombs this weekend.

[JaxRed]

Not interference

[adkindo]

the fan didn't interfere

[Tom Servo]

Murphy a triple away from a cycle

[malcontent]

6-5. Get Roark out of there. It was just a matter of time
Bell. Every shot of him in the dugout convinces me more than ever he's not the guy.

[Ron Madden]

People complain about Bell pulling pitchers too soon then they complain he leaves’em in too long then they’ll complain about him burning up the bullpen.
The guy is wrong no matter which way he turns

[Tom Servo]

I rest my case. I could see it coming
And if he took Roark out before this inning and the pen gave up these runs it would be “should have just left Roark in”

Rockies are scoring runs either way in this one. Reds got keep responding, they blew two out chances in the last two innings.

[stein1214]

Ugh...let's let Roark's ERA get blown up so we can't get as much when we end up trading him in a couple weeks.

[coryfly]

Well, if he gets through this inning I assume he is undoubtedly done.

[DocRed]

Bell being Bell again...game over

[Big Klu]

People complain about Bell pulling pitchers too soon then they complain he leaves’em in too long then they’ll complain about him burning up the bullpen.
The guy is wrong no matter which way he turns

Now you have figured it out!

[Tom Servo]

Ugh...let's let Roark's ERA get blown so we can't get as much when we end up trading him in a couple weeks.
Not sure one dud in Colorado is gonna change any trade partners minds about Roark.

[adkindo]

Well, if he gets through this inning I assume he is undoubtedly done.

yeah, his spot is batting 3rd next inning

[malcontent]

People complain about Bell pulling pitchers too soon then they complain he leaves’em in too long then they’ll complain about him burning up the bullpen.
The guy is wrong no matter which way he turns
Roark is way off tonight.

[DocRed]

3 run HR coming up

[Tom Servo]

Roark is way off tonight.
Gee, ya think?

Gee, ya think?
Just replying to Ron. Truth be told, at this point Bell can't do right by me. I'm finished with him. Too bad the Reds aren't.

I dont get taking our better hitting shortstop out in a double switch??? We need offense to come back.

[JaxRed]

I'd be thinking about Stevenson.

I'm ok with Hughes also

[adkindo]

thought he got more of that one

two Reds singles to start the 6th

[JaxRed]

I hope we see early season Dietrich

[bleedsred]

So they are playing? Lol....honestly...this team has a run in them.

[WVRedsFan]

And if he took Roark out before this inning and the pen gave up these runs it would be “should have just left Roark in”

Rockies are scoring runs either way in this one. Reds got keep responding, they blew two out chances in the last two innings.No, he was throwing right down the middle of the plate and they were hitting him hard. Not on Bell at all. Roark didn't have it at all, and it showed. I had hoped he would pull him, yes, but gone. Now, DD puts the Red up 8-7.

Can Ervin play 3rd? Can Winker? ;)

[Tom Servo]

Dietrich!!!! :jump:

8-7 Reds!

[BCubb2003]

3 run HR coming up

There you go.

[coryfly]

Well, the double switch worked well there. Good to see Dietrich not only make contact but hit it hard.

[Ron Madden]

3 run Bomb!!!!

[adkindo]

Dietrich...Let it Fly! Great move by David Bell ;)

Yasser.

[Tom Servo]

Had a good feeling there, surprised Bud Black let the RHP Bettis pitch to Dietrich.

[davereds24]

So many opposite field hits. Hope this is an intentional change of approach.

[Tom Servo]

Senzel settles for a measly double instead of a triple.
