Something looks really wrong about this picture- like the left leg is broken and facing an unnatural way. It also looks really tiny as if the byproduct of a bad photoshop accident.

[mhs95_06]

Two righties then 2 lefties? Doesn't Bell usually alternate them?

[Coachforyears]

Happy Birthday Ironman!!!!

[Coachforyears]

Open question to all?

I have a theory that the increase in home runs and exit velocity is due to greatly improved hand eye coordination of the players today. My explanation may sound off the wall, but I credit video games. When I played once fall came around you played football or basketball and did not pick-up a bat till February or March. Took the better part of the spring to start and get the hand eye coordination back.

Today kids have constant hand eye coordination with the various video games they play year round and from a very young age. With baseball requiring the highest level of hand eye coordination of just about all of sports, has to make a difference?

Thoughts ?

Increase in home runs is due to the ball and smaller parks, and increase in exit velocity is due to faster pitchers (which is due to, in part, not pitching as much as they used to). Video games don't do anything but keep certain kids away from sports and increase diabetes in the population generally.

No, that was Dusty Baker.

[NebraskaRed]

just need one more run to stay out of late-inning grand slam range.

I think after every visiting player homers that Bernie the Brewer should have to crawl his big butt up that slide the wrong direction like my 6 year old

[adkindo]

Scooter with a single

[NC Reds]

Scooter with a knock.

Terrific start. High pitch count for Davies already.

[mamell]

I'll be darned..I picked a nice time to tune in..

One thing I’ve learned from watching the Reds this year, this baby is over I tell you.

I guess because pitcher was up next with 2 outs?

Terrible call, but the catcher kind of blocking the plate too..

I imagine Roark coming up factored in but yeah might have been better off letting that play out

Tune out till the 9th, eh? My worst fears had me tuning out last night and now I regret it..

It is early, but I’m confident in getting the W tonight.

[Ironman92]

All caught up to live

Great 1st inning. Not mad he sent Scooter knowing Roark was on deck BUT.... knowing how far he was from making it and baseball is all about momentum.....hold iffy groin Scooter at 3rd and let Roark bat, see 3-4 pitches. Get Davies to 44 pitches on the inning (maybe Roark gets lucky...which was the hope with sending Scooter) and start the 2nd inning exactly like he had to start the first.

Not mad, just my thought

[757690]

Uh-oh, Thom is starting to discuss the plight of Latin born players in baseball.

[NebraskaRed]

need a gif of that Winker "slide"/fall

[Tom Servo]

Winker is slow lol

[mamell]

Great baserunning, huh?

[adkindo]

what was Winker thinking?

[NC Reds]

That might have been the worst slide I have ever seen. I hope Winker is OK.

[BluegrassRedleg]

The parade of zeroes are underway.

[Tom Servo]

what was Winker thinking?
He was thinking two, and I get the idea because it seemed entirely possible. But he also seemed to overestimate his speed.

[757690]

Winker attempting his Neo impression again, but this time, he’s out.

[Rolando]

Winker is slow lol

He's also not very smart LOL

[Big Klu]

That was truly an awful slide.

[mamell]

I kind of wish Pete would show up and slap each and every reds base runner at least once.. He would have knocked the 2nd baseman into left field..

[Rolando]

He was thinking two, and I get the idea because it seemed entirely possible. But he also seemed to overestimate his speed.

I know what he was thinking but that was still really bad play

[NebraskaRed]

Also, a questionable decision to not run out of the box

[Big Klu]

Also, a questionable decision to not run out of the box

He sometimes has a habit of doing that.

[Ironman92]

Its ok to be slow but at least understand your given speed

So far we’ve lost 2 extra hitters on not close plays....hope it doesn’t haunt later

[Ironman92]

Also, a questionable decision to not run out of the box

Did he not? I didn’t notice?

bingo I think that's what he actual problem was you can't stand and watch the play if you going to try that

Another opportunity for the boys to prove their historical ineptitude at adding on. Started with Dunn and Jr. That's all Girardi and Aaron Boone ever talk about- you have to add on.

Ump has a nice, tight strike zone for now.. We'll see how it is later in the game.

Roark already at 59 pitches....appears the bullpen will have several innings to implode.

[Ron Madden]

I think this thing about the Reds never scoring after they put runs on the board in the first inning is overblown.

Does anybody actually know how many times the Reds have been shutout after scoring multiple runs in the first inning?

[Tom Servo]

59 isn't too bad, not very likely he was gonna throw a CG (but who knows maybe he starts getting a bunch of first pitch outs).

not sure about shutout, but it clearly seems like they often score their most runs in the 1st inning.....I would assume they have scored more runs in the 1st inning than any other inning this year.

The sad part is Brantley was telling a poignant story about how hard it is for a foreign player to play in another country, and Thom has to mock it.

Why would Votto reach out and try to hook an outside pitch instead of taking it to third for the easy hit. Only the error saved his bacon....

Ervin is hot against lefties and a very formidable Reds 4th OF. I like him. He’s defense is meh and he’s surprisingly slow and a poor baserunner.

No one works on their craft more....hard to say

i know, it's so strange. votto has a PhD in batting. i know he had a method to his madness. i'm just glad he finally realized it wasn't working, and went back to what made him one of the best hitters of his generation.

[Ironman92]

I want my boy Puig to not be late on 92 mph fastballs on the plate

[Rantly]

Didn't us fans suggest this awhile ago?

I can’t imagine he’s not reading Redszone!

[WrongVerb]

Lol....Thom’s best play by play

No sound?

[Ironman92]

How it goes....Votto will rake and now Puig will drought

[RedForLife]

i mean, better late than never. but what took him so long to go back to his old approach?

He finally came to RZ.

[Ironman92]

No sound?

No calling the bat boy out for getting caught up with Winker/Votto and forgetting his duties

[Tadasimha]

I can’t imagine he’s not reading Redszone!

How else can he keep up with the sage advice of the Armchair Hitting Instructors Association?

It could simply be that Votto adjusted for his age before he needed to.

[BluegrassRedleg]

Love seeing Votto turn on one like that.

[mamell]

how does one lose a "beer tasting" contest?

Be used to drinking terrible tasting beer i assume. I'm not sure, but you really have to try to lose. Or...think Bud lite actually tastes good.. That's an automatic loss in my book.

[Tom Servo]

Votto is back baby. He’s good again. Awoouu (wolf Howl)

[Mutaman]

Over the last 3 years Joey hits .357 in Miller park with more HR than anywhere else on the road. Can anyone get find his lifetime stats there?

[stein1214]

I’m not going to get mad about decisions that 100% directly work and benefit the Reds at that moment.

It’s 9-0....hard to complain IMO

I guess I just like Winker more than most people here and it’s gotta be getting pretty darn frustrating for him. To his credit he’s not moping around and pouting about it...being a team guy.

[RedTeamGo!]

Votto is going to hit a home run - book it.

I'd answer this but I'm too busy proposing unrealistic trades as an Armchair GM.

[mamell]

C'mon RobSteve.. That's not mowing em down territory..

[Ironman92]

Does BobSteve look more like Danny Graves than Lavarnway looks like Ryan Ludwick plus 20 lbs?

[Ron Madden]

Wink is a damn good teammate.

[fondfoat]

Up 11-2 and you can't find the strikezone....growl.

Yeah but he did it for me

And ONLY took 87 straight tries!

Was the first time I’ve predicted a Votto Homer before a game I think maybe ever.

[mamell]

TWO strikes in a ROW! RobSteve's ready for the Cy Young!

[fondfoat]

Up 11-2 and you can't find the strikezone....growl.

But he comes back really well!

Maybe we should be happy with him being John Lowenstein, as long as we have a Gary Roenicke to go with him.

[JCM11]

Time for Stephenson to join Hernandez. This bullpen is atrocious right now.

[RedForLife]

Up 11-2 and you can't find the strikezone....growl.

Well... he finally found it.

[fondfoat]

But he comes back really well!


Whoops.....

[NC Reds]

Woof. BobSteve is probably the most frustrating Reds player for me.

[WrongVerb]

There's a fine line between forcing your stuff in an attempt to win, and knowing your best execution will result in wins. Stephenson has yet to learn the latter is better.

[mamell]

Was the first time I’ve predicted a Votto Homer before a game I think maybe ever.

Does it count that I predicted RobSteve giving up a 3 bagger? I just forgot to type it..

[NebraskaRed]

is it an official Reds game if the bullpen doesn't give up a multi-run homer?

[Rantly]

Thom loves him some Lorenzo Cain.

[RedTeamGo!]

Is Romano able to go tonight?

[Tom Servo]

11-5 feels too close for comfort lol, please score more runs

[mamell]

Just for the record I am in no way opposed to the Reds getting those 3 runs back this inning.

[UPRedsFan]

i mean, better late than never. but what took him so long to go back to his old approach?

Answer: his supreme confidence in himself to do what he’s trying to do. He just kept thinking it will work.

Wonder if Bell or Ward or anyone else suggested it or if he reached his own conclusion. Regardless Votto is telling pitchers and all of us, “I’m not done”.

Jim Day how about an in depth interview?

[Tadasimha]

Thom loves him some Lorenzo Cain.

Has there ever been an announcer who likes so many players from other teams more?

[NebraskaRed]

Good start to the inning...

[Rantly]

Two on no out!

[Ron Madden]

11-5 feels too close for comfort lol, please score more runs

If they score any more runs will we be allowed to count'em in the run differential?
