Are Dietrich and Scooter both injured?

[Big Klu]

Are Dietrich and Scooter both injured?

Dietrich is probably still nursing his knee, and Scooter likely will get days off on a semiregular basis because of his groin.

Thanks, Klu

[GADawg]

I woulda started 6 rbi new guy on general principle even though clearly knocking in runs doesn’t matter

[Ironman92]

SMH not starting Lavarnway. There aren’t any good reasons.

[Ironman92]

Garrett and Iglesias are active. Herget sent down

[JaxRed]

I like getting Van Meter into lineup. But I hate having two lefty second baseman and neither one is in versus a righty.

[Rolando]

SMH not starting Lavarnway. There aren’t any good reasons.

He wasn't going to start tonight and tomorrow in this heat so I'll be honest with you I rather Juan start tonight web Castillo if nothing else for the language barrier

[RedForLife]

Lavarnway not in the lineup. For some strange reason that seemed totally predictable. David Bell is a doofus.

[Ironman92]

Guess I’m not savvy on the languages our 4th and 5th string catchers can handle. Lavarnway has 3 fingers and 2 HR, double and a walk.....so he’s never caught a non-English speaking pitcher?

[Rolando]

he wasn't going to catch tonight and tomorrow anyway

[klw]

Sadly I read the lineup and thought "does it really matter?" I think I will just go to the movies tonight.

[Ironman92]

Whoa I didnt get snarky you.

I mean what’s a guy gotta do to be in the lineup the next day? Farmer was clearly concussed and left in the game...this guy is fine and riding cloud 9 with 8 total bases, a key walk and isn’t in there? These managers just over think the easy things.

If you aren’t Votto/Puig/Suarez and you have a huge game....you won’t be playing the next day. We’ll find a Dusty Baker reason.

[Ironman92]

Catch tonight and play 1st tomorrow

I don't disagree I don't think David Bell is very smart either. All these games are fun now anyway

[Ironman92]

I’m just growing tired of obvious things not being obvious anymore. Didn’t mean to snarkle but these things just make me shake my head.

Suarez was stupid and selfish and got tossed in the 1st inning....Any thought of not starting him today I wonder? Did Iglesias get talked to? Wonder if any discussions about Votto playing 40 feet off first have been had? (To be clear I don’t blame Votto but I think it’s a ridiculous defensive plan)...anyone ever ask why they didn’t review Iglesias tag in that 10 run inning that would’ve made it a 6 run inning?

None of that stuff takes anything of any talent ...I don’t get it. Maybe most of things were discussed, I feel most of them weren’t though.

To me this team for 20 years has let the veterans or stars get away with whatever...and it just continues. If Suarez can’t get a good read on the ball while being a baserunner....do they take him and work on it? If VanMeter goes 3-4 with 2 doubles does he play tomorrow. I think both answers are no.

Last night’s loss was ridiculous...and to the Cardinals. Seems like a lot of people don’t care to lose because they aren’t going to the playoffs anyways and we can think of all our players to trade away.

I don’t care about 2021 or 2022, I wanna beat the Cardinals tonight, especially if up 7.

Pretty sure I made this post in 2016 not caring about 2019.....here we are!

[Big Klu]

I understand and I completely agree with everything you said

[Ironman92]

Yeah, no way could a catcher play 1st base even though he has before

[Ironman92]

It's not a video game.

What are you talking about?

You may be losing the plot arguing Lavarnway over Votto against a RHP lol

[BCubb2003]

hot day behind the dish for geritol.

Graterol has electrolytes.

[Ironman92]

You may be losing the plot arguing Lavarnway over Votto against a RHP lol

Because Votto is hitting righties better than lefties this year?

[Ironman92]

Jesse Winker scores a run today it’ll be his 100th career

[Ironman92]

Thom was wrong with when those Cards jerseys were worn

[Ironman92]

Winker has pieced together 3 really good at bats his last 3 chances

[Ironman92]

Pool time. Might catch up to live late in the game [emoji3]

[Big Klu]

But why would you want him to, when there are better options?

Also, I want my last two catchers to get rest on days they don't have to start behind the plate, especially on oppressively hot days like these.

[Coopdaddy67]

Yeah, no way could a catcher play 1st base even though he has before

Last night he caught through an excessive heat warning, which continues tonight. Makes perfect sense to give him the day off and the start tomorrow.

[Big Klu]

Thom was wrong with when those Cards jerseys were worn

Right. The powder blue Cardinals road uniforms were pullovers, not button ups, and they had "Cardinals" in script on the front, not "St. Louis".

They had never worn these in the past.

Still, Mikolis in these, along with the mustache, is reminding me of Pete Vuckovich.

[JCM11]

Are we going to get Castillo a run this game?

[NebraskaRed]

Reds giving up the lead throughout history

[mamell]

They're talking about the moon landing and the Astros.. I'm still ticked NASA didn't wait two days till my 10th birthday. The moon landing should have happened July 22, 1969 instead of July 20, 1969 so it happened on my 10th birthday.. THAT's why we don't get to have nice things Reds fans.. :laugh:

[mamell]

Blame Neil Armstrong.. Shoulda waited 2 days.. Instead Puig hits into a double play.. :(
See how different history might have been?

I guess nobody's buying my lame excuses, huh? Well...pshaw!

[Big Klu]

Jim Day and Chris are just lighting Thom up because he blew off an opportunity to go golfing with Neil Armstrong.

[Big Klu]

4-6-yessiree-3!

[mamell]

That would have been my 12th birthday.

Happy birthday then.. I'm planning to be extraordinarily(er than usual) lazy on Monday..

[mamell]

Shocking I know, but that Bats are losing 5-3 against Wilkes-Barre... Make it 5-2

[mamell]

Boo.. That is all..

[JCM11]

Maybe the best play of the year by Iglesias.

[NebraskaRed]

Excellent catch by Iglesias.

Hilarious wrong call by Thom.

and a DOUBLE PLAY...NO

[Senzling Hot]

But why would you want him to, when there are better options?

Also, I want my last two catchers to get rest on days they don't have to start behind the plate, especially on oppressively hot days like these.

I think his point was play the hot hand. Which makes perfect sense. David Bell has the tendency to sit players after good games. If a player is hot especially with this offense you ride it until it is over. He very well could of went 0-4 with 4 ks. It really does not matter, the point is Bell has no clue how to manage a team and it shows

[Big Klu]

Excellent catch by Iglesias.

Hilarious wrong call by Thom.

and a DOUBLE PLAY...NO

Actually a double wrong call,

"And that one will fall in...WHAT A CATCH! And a DOUBLE PLAY...NO!"

[mamell]

Perhaps making Mikolas stand out on 2nd will pay off.. I hope so..

[InsaneinthBrame]

Not sure about pulling Castillo here

[NebraskaRed]

Actually a double wrong call,

"And that one will fall in...WHAT A CATCH! And a DOUBLE PLAY...NO!"

"And that one will fall in...WHAT A CATCH! And a DOUBLE PLAY...NO! And this one belongs to the Reds..IT'S ONLY THE 6TH INNING! Merry Christmas, everyone...wait IT'S JULY!

[RedForLife]

Castillo coming out? I hate David Bell.

[mamell]

Castillo over for the night? Hmmm.. Do we need to ask if Bell has lost his ever loving mind?

[VR]

Castillo over for the night? Hmmm.. Do we need to ask if Bell has lost his ever loving mind?

Save em the injuries and send a cardboard cutout of Dietrich up to bat to be hit..

[JCM11]

This is embarrassing.

[NebraskaRed]

Mikolas drenched in sweat.

Thom: "Mikolas isn't even working up a sweat out there"

[Kc61]

The Reds look hungover from last night’s disaster.

Which, you will recall, followed Thursday night’s disaster.

And so on.

[mamell]

Maybe bell just wants the first pick of the draft and is determined to get it..and ownership is in total agreement..
At any rate I give up..going to go watch some movie I don't care about with the old woman.. Good night folks. Enjoy the game.

[onehand]

Mikolas drenched in sweat.

Thom: "Mikolas isn't even working up a sweat out there"

As always, Thom is unaware that we are actually WATCHING THE GAME on TV. What an idiot.

[Strikes Out Looking]

I wonder what this teams record would be with the same coaching staff and Riggelman?

[ochoa30]

Unless the players all played significantly better I doubt it would be much different.

[RedTeamGo!]

Good grief this team is bad

[NebraskaRed]

Riggleman isn't going to help nearly everyone in the lineup suddenly remember how to hit the ball.

- - - Updated - - -

nice returning inning for Garrett.

[ochoa30]

The thought of Votto for 5 more years is quite scary. They are going to need to find some big time offense from other positions if this is what hes gonna be going forward. I love the guy but a first basemen needs to bring some thunder.

[InsaneinthBrame]

Who is going to pitch the 8th?

[Kc61]

This is one of those games where Reds look demoralized.

They may not be, but they look that way.

Somebody needs to do something, maybe a long ball, something.

[JCM11]

Who is going to pitch the 8th?

Sims and Lorenzen warming up.

[Kc61]

How was that strike two?

- - - Updated - - -

C’mon Puig, you’re supposed to be the star, take charge and do something here.

[50YrRedsFan]

Unless the players all played significantly better I doubt it would be much different.

It all starts with the players. Last winter, the Reds went out and got some players, which was good, but still went on the cheap and picked up Duke, Dietrich, J. Iglesias. Roark has done a good job for a #3 or 4 starter, and Gray may be an unexpected steal, but the Reds didn't get the impact player or players needed to make a major difference. Until they do, you can expect things to stay about the way they are. To the Front Office, STAY OUT OF THE DUMPSTER.


Now back to the game.

[Rolando]

C’mon Puig, you’re supposed to be the star, take charge and do something here.

Cuz Angel Hernandez has no clue what he's doing LOL

[NebraskaRed]

Puig!

[Kc61]

Yes, Puig. Clutch hit.

[JCM11]

Puig ties it with a missile double.

I don't think House has held a runner at third this year lol.

Thom wants JVM to bunt, but Chris dumps water on that idea.

nice returning inning for Garrett.

If Bell let Ward change the Reds philosophy of hitting, and Riggleman didn't it would. This whole launch angle approach imo has screwed everyone up. Ward was as bad a hire as Johnson was good.

[JCM11]

Play VanMeter everyday!

This kid is a keeper.

[NebraskaRed]

Vanmeter!

[Big Klu]

JVM! JVM!

VanMeter hits his first big-league HR!

[ochoa30]

Play this man more please!!

[stein1214]

VanMeter! That’s my boy!

[Kc61]

Funny, Thom and Chris were totally consumed with Van Meter getting the runner to third.

I was thinking, let him just clobber the ball.

Great at bat for Van Meter who can hit.

[50YrRedsFan]

At least Castillo can't lose this one. And maybe Garrett can get a win.

[Rolando]

Funny, Thom and Chris were totally consumed with Van Meter getting the runner to third.

I would definitely move him around and try to play him everyday against right-handed pitching the rest of the year

[Kc61]

Hit for Peraza.

[stein1214]

He did hit the ball to the right side.

[NebraskaRed]

Reds aren't the only team who can leave in their starter a bit too long.

[Kc61]

Well, I’d certainly play him more often.

[stein1214]

It does seem odd that so many guys are performing well below their previous career norms.

[Kc61]

Reds aren't the only team who can leave in their starter a bit too long.

Right. I wasn’t that upset about Castillo coming out. Reds weren’t scoring and every at bat counts late in the game.

Of course, they have their top relievers back, that helps too. But it’s a risk, Castillo was pitching well. Tough call.

[Big Klu]

Thom was advocating for the bunt, but Chris wanted him to swing away.

Nice baserunning by Peraza.

[mamell]

I was gonna go to bed, but things have changed for the time being..

[Kc61]

Yeah - but Chris said pull it so you move the runner to third. Both were talking get the runner to third. And VM went yard, a better alternative!

Isn't it time for tHom to go follow his favorite sport for his FOX sports gig? Shouldn't he be watching tapes of concussed quarterbacks and leave baseball fans alone?

Now I'm goin to bed.. Sleep is one of those necessary evils I must endure.. G'night kids. Good luck and enjoy the game. This time I really, really, REALLY mean it....probably.

[Kc61]

Lorenzen should be well rested after sitting most of the four game losing streak.

I guess Bell was trying to win without him, or something.

[Kc61]

One out, one on. Lorenzen with an ill-timed walk.

And men in the booth, Lorenzen isn’t going to be a starter anytime real soon.

Second and third on a double down the line.

Trouble.

[ochoa30]

Not sure why anyone would walk Harrison Bader. Hes awful.

[RedForLife]

Please don't tell me we're going to blow this game, too.

Ground out, 3-2 game. Not too bad, let’s get the third out.

Fly out, inning over.

Senzel pinch runner and likely will play CF in ninth.

That pace of play crap is just that. My philosophy is if it's too slow, then don't go. I don't care if the game is 2 hrs. or 4 hrs. It's baseball.

A win.

[paulrichjr]

I’ll answer this. Because Bell was smarter than me there

[FlightRick]

A 9 inning game that clocks in at 2 hours and 40 minutes. Yep, Thom, an unbearably tedious slog that proves just how much you suffer for your art.

[I must admit that I wasn't following along with the thread, but I appreciated that tonight somehow turned into a "Pick on Thom (even more than usual)" night. When Thom told the story of passing on a game of golf with Neil Armstrong, and Welsh and Day laid into him with impersonations of Thom's own alleged catchphrases was absolutely delightful.]

Nice to see a win, and kudos to those who watched it. I didn't have the stomach for it after last night, hopefully I'll be good for tomorrow.

[Big Klu]

Is Piecoro coloring his hair? It looks darker than it used to.

[Ironman92]

Good win. Good team win. Nearly everyone pitched in. Big game by Vanmeter.

I want to credit Suarez for his good baserunning tonight. On that scorcher by Puig he scored from first ...had a great secondary lead, jump and was flying like Griffey in 95 ALDS to score.

Great seeing Senzel pinch run

Jim Day and Chris are just lighting Thom up because he blew off an opportunity to go golfing with Neil Armstrong.

ha! neil wouldve been intrigued by thom's sparkling patter, i'm sure!

[Ironman92]

He said 90’s first and then late 80’s and listed players like Vince Coleman wearing them.

I was thinking mid 70’s to early 80’s....like 76-84

[gagliano]

Actually a double wrong call,

"And that one will fall in...WHAT A CATCH! And a DOUBLE PLAY...NO!"

he's just terrible

[Ironman92]

But why would you want him to, when there are better options?

Also, I want my last two catchers to get rest on days they don't have to start behind the plate, especially on oppressively hot days like these.

I simply wanted him rewarded for his historic game with another start.

[Big Klu]

what did he say? i remember those unis from 74-76ish...the ted sizmore/bake mcbride era

It wasn't those uniforms. Tonight's Cardinals powder blues are "faux throwbacks". They may have been inspired by the 1976-84 road unis, but they aren't the same. The real powder blue uniforms were pullovers (not button ups), and had script "Cardinals" on the front (not script "St. Louis").

[Big Klu]

I simply wanted him rewarded for his historic game with another start.

Lavarnway will be back out there tomorrow, and I would guess that he might see more action overall than Graterol.

Yes. The 1976-84 Cardinals wore the powder blue pullover road uniforms. This was the uniform worn by the 1982 World Champions.

In 1985, they changed the road uniform to a gray version of the powder blues, and wore them through 1991. This was the uniform worn in the 1985 and 1987 World Series. (Vince Coleman was a rookie in 1985.)

In 1992, the Cards went to a button-up version of both the home and road uniforms, and introduced the navy blue road cap.

B) The uniforms they wore tonight weren't the powder blues they wore, 1976-84.

Listening to the extra innings show on WLW with Chick Ludwick comes almost as close to torture as listening to Tracey Jones.

At least Chick talks about the game, too bad his knowledge of baseball goes to the wayside and he feels the need to parrot the rants of Marty or Thom.

He could be tolerable if he'd just be himself instead of repeating Marty's rants and trying to copy Ken Brio with the old music stuff. Be yourself Chick! It would work a lot better.
It's obvious you're a life long Reds fan, go with that and let it roll.

Those were some ugly uniforms tonight.
