[NebraskaRed]

Kyle Hendricks has not pitched beyond the 4th inning in his last three starts.

Of course, this probably means that he'll no hit the Reds into the 8th.

If ever a team could make good pitchers look bad and terrible pitchers look like world beaters....
It's complicated ya know? :laugh:

[JaxRed]

No Winker despite a righty. I'm assuming word is coming quickly.

[Ironman92]

Sweeps are fun. I’ve got my Reds broom out

[cumberlandreds]

No Winker despite a righty. I'm assuming word is coming quickly.

I'm sure Van Meter is on the express heading for Wrigleyville as we speak or write as the case may be.

[North]

Injury?

[JaxRed]

I'm sure Van Meter is on the express heading for Wrigleyville as we speak or write as the case may be.

Hope the Meter isn't running on that Van....

[Ironman92]

Giants at Rockies

15-0 Giants in the 6th

[Rolando]

Giants at Rockies

15-0 Giants in the 6th

Of course the Rockies have won two games in two and a 1/2 Weeks and of course they were against the reds. Oh well get away tonight

[North]

Giants at Rockies

15-0 Giants in the 6th

MLB should make Coors Field the permanent home of the All-Star game. The TV ratings would soar. :p

[RedForLife]

And the pitcher is batting ninth! Someone must have put a thumbtack in Bell's shoe.

[JaxRed]

Winker supposedly available to pinch hit.

Jesse Winker passed his pre-game tests after exiting yesterday’s game with tightness on the side of his lower back. David Bell says he’ll probably be available off the bench. #Reds

[Ironman92]

It’s hot in Chicago and wind is blowing out

[Ironman92]

Not much excitement guys. This game is gonna deliver!

[ochoa30]

Not much excitement guys. This game is gonna deliver!

I hope so. This team needs to get on a roll right now if they want to have any chance at all.

[Reds Fanatic]

Votto hit it hard but robbed by Russell

[Tom Servo]

Geno! :jump:

[Reds Fanatic]

Suarez homers to left center!!! 1-0 Reds

[Ron Madden]

Geno The Cub Killer!!!

[Reds Fanatic]

Puig flies out as Russell runs into Bryant. 1-0 Reds mid 1st

[Ironman92]

HR #116 for Suarez as a Reds player

Good trade I think

[mhs95_06]

Definitely a cheap HR with the weather and a few pitches that hit the box were called balls.

[North]

The white-haired gent comes through!

castillo has the best change-up for a reds pitcher since mario soto. (cueto is right up there as well.) my question is how close is castillo's change-up compared to soto's?

[Reds Fanatic]

Nice catch by Scooter

[Ironman92]

Since Suarez came to the Reds in 2015

Suarez 116 Hr
Votto 114 Hr

[Ironman92]

Great timing by Scooter

[mhs95_06]

Scooter used every inch of reach to get to that liner for the 2nd out.

it also warms the heart knowing suarez is just entering his prime at the age of 27, and the reds have him locked up for the next 5.5 years at a very team-friendly rate.

it's pretty much the opposite of all the other long-term contracts the reds handed out prior to the suarez signing. they do seem to be learning though. sonny gray's contract is looking very tasty as well for the reds.

the reds do need to get over the urge to sign their own catchers to semi-long-term deals. first mesoraco, now barnhart. woof.

[Reds Fanatic]

1-2-3 inning for Castillo

[mhs95_06]

Two Ks on change-ups that followed change-ups, with one being the 4th in a row.

[JFLegal]

1-2-3 inning for Castillo

lu-ACE castillo.

At least Barnhart's is more team friendly than Meso.

[Ironman92]

Shadows look tough on hitters this inning

[mhs95_06]

I don't think Dietrich stands much of a chance vs. Hendrick's assortment.

Amazing thing is they got Suarez for Alfredo Simon. One of the all time steals of a trade

- - - Updated - - -

Reds go down 1-2-3 in the 2nd. 1-0 Reds

[JFLegal]

At least Barnhart's is more team friendly than Meso.

yes, 4-years/$16 million is more palatable than 4-years, $28 million. but both were/are bad contracts, and at least mesoraco had a high ceiling. there was no reason to rush to sign barnhart to a 4-year contract imo when he still had 2 arb years left. he's a decent mlb backup catcher. you shouldn't give $16 million to a guy like that, especially when you're a small market team.

edit: actually, i just looked it up and i need to correct myself. i did not realize the final year (4th year -- 2022) was a club option, with just a small buyout of $500K. so, the contract is really 3-years, $10.25 million. not as bad as i thought. barnhart is scheduled to make $7.5 million in 2022 if the reds pick up the option, and the chances of that happening are zero. so, my fault on that.

[Ironman92]

I don't think Dietrich stands much of a chance vs. Hendrick's assortment.

Dunn vs Kershaw....because baseball does give us hope though

[Reds Fanatic]

2 Ks for Castillo

[Ironman92]

I’m not swinging at Castillo’s pitch if it starts below the thigh

[Ironman92]

Too bad no Thom for that one

[Reds Fanatic]

Infield hit for Heyward

[mhs95_06]

Castillo broke protocol!

[Reds Fanatic]

3 Ks for Castillo. 1-0 Reds after 2

[Ironman92]

Castillo broke protocol!

Needs designated for assignment

[JaxRed]

VanMeter isn't playing tonight. I wonder if he was in Chicago in case Winker wasn't ready?

[mhs95_06]

I’m not swinging at Castillo’s pitch if it starts below the thigh

When the Cubs switch on that strategy, look for a couple free runners on base and a likely lead taking inning.

[Ironman92]

I think Scooter gets Hendricks his next AB

[Reds Fanatic]

Senzel singles to center

[Ron Madden]

Nice swing

[Ironman92]

Senzel...oppo

LOVE IT!

[Ironman92]

Be patient Suarez....I don’t think he’ll get much to hit

[Big Klu]

Votto with just a walk. No RBI.

#notelite

[Ironman92]

Rather pitch to stupid

[Reds Fanatic]

Suarez walks. Bases loaded

[Ironman92]

Now Puig be patient!....but murder one

[Tadasimha]

Cubs pitching coach looks like the batboy stole the real pitching coaches jersey

[Ironman92]

C’mon stupid

[Ironman92]

Tough strike

[mhs95_06]

Ump finally gave a pitcher a break on the first strike to Puig.

[Ironman92]

No one can barrel up that 87 up and in

[Reds Fanatic]

Close play at first but they say Puig is out

[mhs95_06]

If Puig would have gone the other way on that next to last pitch, the Reds might have had some runs!

[JCM11]

Barely out, that was a nice play.

[Ironman92]

Damnit

[Tom Servo]

a bit surprised Puig didn’t beat that throw outright, did he come out of the box awkwardly?

[Ironman92]

If Puig would have gone the other way on that next to last pitch, the Reds might have had some runs!

The one he was protecting on?

[kaldaniels]

That was so uncomfortable watching Day/Welsh not realize that pitch was a strike.

[mamell]

Looked close, but he got him by a few inches and it appears Puig missed first base anyway..

[Tadasimha]

Cubs broadcast carefully not showing any other views of the play. Goldenboy Rizzo is going to get the benefit of the doubt as is

[Ironman92]

a bit surprised Puig didn’t beat that throw outright, did he come out of the box awkwardly?

I had him at 4.19 to first. Ball really got to Bote quick

[mhs95_06]

The one he was protecting on?

Correct.

[Reds Fanatic]

Leadoff hit by Bote

[Ron Madden]

Looked close, but he got him by a few inches and it appears Puig missed first base anyway..

He didn’t miss 1st base

[kaldaniels]

Cubs broadcast carefully not showing any other views of the play. Goldenboy Rizzo is going to get the benefit of the doubt as is

I do think he was out. No challenge from the Reds is telling.

[Big Klu]

4-6-yessiree-3!

[Reds Fanatic]

Hendricks grounds into a 4-6-3 DP

[Ironman92]

Correct.

I don’t think he was looking there. I think he was looking up and in like that 87 on pitch 2 or 3. He only swung at that next to last pitch because the first was called strike and he was protecting

[The Operator]

Ugh

Schwarber


Thank god Thom's not calling the game tonight

[Tadasimha]

I hate Kyle "Middletown" Scwarber

[mhs95_06]

Hendricks grounds into a 4-6-3 DP

Do you think Hendricks might have mis-interpreted the sign to be a hit and run, or Bote missed the sign?

[Reds Fanatic]

Schwarzer homers. 1-1

[Ironman92]

That was impressively far for an oppo

[Reds Fanatic]

Ugh

Schwarber


Thank god Thom's not calling the game tonight

How will we ever know Schwarber is from Middletown without Thom

[Ironman92]

Scooter is pretty spry on defense since his return

[mamell]

Jeeez.. Schwarber again. His stats are almost identical to Dietrich though.. Just bout 11 points higher BA..now a tick higher.

[BluegrassRedleg]

... from Middletown, OH, continues to haunt us.

[BluegrassRedleg]

Scooter just doesn't look right yet.

[Reds Fanatic]

Iglesias doubles

[Ironman92]

Scooter just doesn't look right yet.

I think he’s close...he’s slow on the upper strike

Hendricks is tricky, he gets 87 by everyone and then 95 the next day is even more of a problem

[mamell]

Not a great AB by Casali there.. Second strike he swung when the ball was still 5 feet away..

[Ironman92]

Freddie Freeman just hit a HR off the scoreboard in CF in Milwaukee

[mamell]

Good news is Castillo's only tossed 39 pitches vs Hendricks 60


Then I went and said it.. jeeeez..

[Ironman92]

Good news is Castillo's only tossed 39 pitches vs Hendricks 60

Jinx

[mhs95_06]

He got the first two strike on Bryant in the 1st on sliders, where was the slider on 2-2?

[The Operator]

Oh for the love

Rizzo beats the shift


Runners 2nd and 3rd nobody out. Gonna need strikeouts now.

[Reds Fanatic]

Bad start to this inning as Rizzo beats the shift. 2nd and 3rd with no outs

[The Operator]

Should have been strike 2 but human element umpire misses it because the glove moved.

[BluegrassRedleg]

Bigger strike there than the one he called on Puig when Reds had bases loaded. Bring on the robots.

[The Operator]

Got him!

1 down

[Ironman92]

Good news is Castillo's only tossed 39 pitches vs Hendricks 60

2 down

LOL. That strike call. OMG

Gotta have that human element, or so some would say

[Tadasimha]

No more, Luis. Keep it tight

[JFLegal]

should have just walked heyward. dumb.

[North]

Nice pitching tonight.

Oh...there is a walk.

[adkindo]

Gift strike 1 against Heyward

it was mentioned last night on broadcast, but that umpire did a good job of holding his strike zone no matter the score or count.....to many umpires will loosen the strike zone when a pitcher is down in the count or struggling in general

[The Operator]

the wife beater Russel walks on 4 pitches

Bases loaded

[Tom Servo]

Luis not anywhere close right now

[The Operator]

For the love of god

Wild pitch makes it 3-1

[Tadasimha]

Jeez - gave one away

[Ironman92]

Incredible jump by Rizzo

[The Operator]

This inning is an absolute disaster

[BluegrassRedleg]

@^%!% @^@^@^!&!&

[Ironman92]

We got this

[The Operator]

Got him but one pitch too late

3-1 after a very laborsome inning for Luis

[adkindo]

good teams just do not do that crap

[Trademark]

Well looks like it’s time to focus on football. Reds are officially done

[NCReds]

Gonna need offense and a solid bullpen for the remainder... really can’t afford to lose this game.

[North]

Heh...had my dvr paused and now I see it is 3 to 1 Chi...:bang:

[JCM11]

Why throw a breaking ball to a guy you just ate up with a fastball with a runner on third? He walked Russell on 2 straight breaking balls with no strikes in the ab.

[mhs95_06]

Incredible jump by Rizzo

Can't do that if you mis-time your secondary lead as so many do. And with 2 out you are willing to take a bit of a chance.

[Ironman92]

Good news is Castillo's only tossed 39 pitches vs Hendricks 60


Then I went and said it.. jeeeez..

You were just being positive and informative which I appreciate....but you gotta find a way to get it back

[JFLegal]

yet another infomercial for why mlb needs automated balls/strikes calls.

[The Operator]

Oh how I hate Kyle Schwarber

[mhs95_06]

I don’t think he was looking there. I think he was looking up and in like that 87 on pitch 2 or 3. He only swung at that next to last pitch because the first was called strike and he was protecting

So you are saying due to the speed of the game, even though Hendricks tops out about 89, that it is very difficult for most hitters to be looking inside and the pitch is low outside, to drop the bat head outside and get good enough wood on the ball to line it into RF?

[mamell]

If ever a team could make good pitchers look bad and terrible pitchers look like world beaters....
It's complicated ya know? :laugh:

I didn't realize how prophetic this would be at the time..

[Big Klu]

Well looks like it’s time to focus on football. Reds are officially done

What is your suggestion for those who don't like football?

[Ironman92]

I can’t get a grasp on shifting the defense and then pitching outside strikes

[TheBigLebowski]

I didn’t think we needed to sweep this series to stay in theoretical contention, but we have to get 2 of 3. Cannot lose anymore ground to these guys.

[Tadasimha]

Well looks like it’s time to focus on football. Reds are officially done

Based in the number of 87 mph fastballs he’s gotten by our hitters....yes. I just feel he was waiting for his pitch and trying to foul off any pitcher’s strikes.

[The Operator]

Another strike the ump doesn't call because he missed location

does such a person exist?

No one can barrel up his 87

Puig!!!!!

3-2

[Ron Madden]

BOOM!!!

[Ironman92]

Lol what a weird call

[adkindo]

LOL....PUIG!

[BluegrassRedleg]

Blow that buscuit into the basket.

[The Operator]

Guarantee you if Thom had called this game that Puig homer would have been "straight up in the air... wait... is it? That's a homer."

[Ironman92]

Can’t say that Chris. That’s Thom’s

[Tadasimha]

Puig wasn't sure that one was going out.

[The Operator]

lol Dietrich HBP

[Tadasimha]

Dietrich wears it well

[Ironman92]

Puig wasn't sure that one was going out.

Prolly just figured he was gonna get robbed again

[mhs95_06]

Based in the number of 87 mph fastballs he’s gotten by our hitters....yes. I just feel he was waiting for his pitch and trying to foul off any pitcher’s strikes.

I think that's how a lot of hitters are hurting their teams success, by waiting too much for "their pitch" and not getting it and making an out, instead of adjusting to the pitch and hitting it whee it is, especially with the shifts, to keep the line moving, instead of going for the HRs.

[Tom Servo]

Scooter seemed a little miffed at himself on fouling back a high 88 mph fastball

[Ironman92]

Like Puig early on....Scooters not getting his front foot down

[The Operator]

Scooter grounds into the FC but avoids the DP thanks to the bad throw to first

[mhs95_06]

Both Reds runs, wind aided HRs, that just barely got into the basket or the 1st row.

[BluegrassRedleg]

Interesting. Scooter turned more toward second than the guy in Colorado. Did we ever get explanation of that call?

[Ironman92]

I don’t think the average hitters can just do that though

[mamell]

This has been a game that felt like it was getting out of control, but never really has been..just a very good outing by Hendricks and a so-so one by Castillo..

[mhs95_06]

If the ump from Denver was there tonight Scooter would have been out for making a move toward 2nd!

[Big Klu]

does such a person exist?

I no longer enjoy watching NFL or college football, with the exception of seeing a handful of college games in person. But I hardly ever watch football on TV.

[mamell]

Both Reds runs, wind aided HRs, that just barely got into the basket or the 1st row.

And yet count just the same as one hit into Lake Michigan..

[Ironman92]

If the ump from Denver was there tonight Scooter would have been out for making a move toward 2nd!

Doubt it....I bet that ump was corrected on that call after the game. That was so bad.

[adkindo]

I no longer enjoy watching NFL or college football, with the exception of seeing a handful of college games in person. But I hardly ever watch football on TV.

the day after the National Championship, it is a countdown for me until the next college season....although this season I am less than confident if my team.

[The Operator]

Another leadoff batter aboard

[adkindo]

Doubt it....I bet that ump was corrected on that call after the game. That was so bad.

I was in car during that play.....Rockies guys were calling on Sirius....they went ballistic.

[mhs95_06]

And yet count just the same as one hit into Lake Michigan..

And contribute to the Reds great looking run differential compared to their winning %! Plus 6 for the Rockies series and going 1-2.

[Ironman92]

Cubs better hitters today

[The Operator]

Heyward singles and its second and third

[mhs95_06]

Cubs better hitters today

Lefty hitters killing the Reds going oppo with the wind!

[adkindo]

[mamell]

Drip drip drip... Anyone's feet feeling wet yet?

[Rantly]

Heyward’s hit an easy dp without shift

[The Operator]

Ball three was strike 1

Ump sucks

[adkindo]

bad framing by Casali

[Tadasimha]

Same here. Stopped watching college a decade ago and haven't seen an nfl game in three, maybe four seasons. Watched part of the attempted off-season league out of curiosity but that's it. Don't miss it at all.

edit: sorry, thought I had quoted Klu's post

[The Operator]

Wife beater walks and the bases are loaded

[Ironman92]

This is the game here....more than 1 run and it is over

[mhs95_06]

Another strike the ump doesn't call because he missed location



There it is again on the 2-0 to Russell!

[BluegrassRedleg]

He pitches the bottom of the Chicago lineup like it's the top. In trouble against these scrubs all night long.

Lets get to the cubs pen!

Change up please

Finally got the location perfect for the K!

Up to the bullpens now.

[ochoa30]

Really great job of battling today by Castillo. Not always gonna have perfect outings. The hitters put some good swings on him but he kept the Reds in it. Nice job.

[mamell]

Very big strike out by Luis there .. He's charged after that.. Probably wants to go another 8 innings.. lol

[Big Klu]

Two down

Robel Garcia pinch hitting for Hendricks

The Cubs found this guy in the Italian League. Evidently, the Italian League (whatever it is actually called) is considered the top baseball league in Europe. But I would still think it wouldn't be any better than Class A here in the States.

[Coopdaddy67]

His last pitch of the night was disgusting.

Having the confidence to throw that in that situation is what makes him special.

[The Operator]

Casali!!!!!!


Tie game!!!!

I love Cishek

When is Luis’ last year before free agency? I want to know when we’ll get four $1 scratchers from the Yankees for him.

I don’t care what anybody says Winker can hit

[Ironman92]

Bad matchup for Senzel

[The Operator]

Baez error!


Senzel aboard and Casali to second


Nobody out

Winker needs to hit more with a "sore side" controlled swing!

Make 'em pay after that boot!

[Ironman92]

It was hit kinda hard

[Ironman92]

Hoping for a Votto bunt

[The Operator]

C'mon Joey

[Ironman92]

Lol bad swing

Not what I was hoping for
