Bleh

Let’s score 12

[DocRed]

Tougher Angels lineup than that AAA lineup from last night...although no Calhoun. Surprised he's not in the lineup.

[redswin]

I'm really pleased with Aquino so far in replacing Puig's at bats. If We some how swept the Angels then swept the Cubbies, would there be any possibility to get our hopes up for playoffs? Or should I just continue to enjoy this season of being competitive each game and finishing strong for confidence and playing time of these young players?

[adkindo]

Ron, we need the picture ;)

I do not see the improvement outside Pujols instead of Jared Walsh. The other changes is replacing Calhoun with his backup in RF, and replacing Kevan Smith with his backup @ Catcher.

[Tuff Nut]

That looks like a swinging strike to me. The ball is in the catcher's mitt

[BluegrassRedleg]

Could be a long night. It's raining like crazy in Cincinnati right now. Sounds like hit-and-miss thunderstorms maybe all night long.

[DocRed]

Goodwin didn't play last night

[BluegrassRedleg]

Rumor up here that Reds may have signed Boxberger.

[bigfoot52]

Rumor up here that Reds may have signed Boxberger.

Hum... I would think we are in bad need of a LHP in the bullpen with Wandy sent down.

[NebraskaRed]

C. Trent Rosecrans
@ctrent

The Reds have signed Brad Boxberger to a minor-league deal.

[DocRed]

Hum... I would think we are in bad need of a LHP in the bullpen with Wandy sent down.

He's basically a leftie. Career .642 vs LHP, .729 vs RHP. Same thing with Gausman reverse splits..

[JaxRed]

Is tonight another "opener" for Angels?

[Rolando]

Is tonight another "opener" for Angels?

No I don't believe so

[Maldez]

Glad to see Thom Brennaman back in the both and not Jim Day.

[North]

Are there any favorites as to which player(s) will be thrown under the bus tonight?

[Ron Madden]

Ain't nobody safe.. It's Open Season.

I got a bone to pick with Mr. Redlegs.

[Ironman92]

Relief pitcher is my guess

I’ll guess death and hate to Amir

[Ron Madden]

Nice Play by Aquino to cut that ball off

[Ironman92]

Good job Aquino saving a base

[NebraskaRed]

Not the greatest accuracy, but I'm impressed with Aquino's abilities in right.

[757690]

Reds aren’t losing anything arm wise in RF with Aquino replacing Puig.

[mamell]

Aquino just has that innocent look of a maniacal killer out there.. lol

[NebraskaRed]

Blurgh

[Ironman92]

Dang

[adkindo]

this idiot has did it again

[mamell]

Nice job there Disco.. 3 run HR..

[North]

Ooooo...Disco takes the early lead!

[bigfoot52]

Nice job there Disco.. 3 run HR..

0-2 count and right down broadway.

[ochoa30]

Jeez, just when you thought Disco was turning a corner. What a terrible pitch, smh.

[TheBigLebowski]

AD gave up a longball. Shocked.

[mamell]

Perhaps they'll get the 3 back and Disco will turn on the juice and shut em down the rest of the way once he gets the 3 spot out of the way..

[fielder's choice]

0-2 pitch right down broadway :rolleyes:

[Ironman92]

Reds aren’t losing anything arm wise in RF with Aquino replacing Puig.

My Tribe fan buddy said Puig unleashed a perfect one hopper from RF track to 3rd base last night and then their CF Mercado threw one from warning track to 2nd base and it took 3 hops lol

[Ironman92]

Awful 0-2 pitch. Disco loses focus too often for sure

[gagliano]

Nice job there Disco.. 3 run HR..

no confidence in this guy. he's a cipher. what he's doing in mlb is beyond me. is this the best we can do?

[NebraskaRed]

no confidence in this guy. he's a cipher. what he's doing in mlb is beyond me. is this the best we can do?

Little extreme, no?

[NebraskaRed]

Geno!

[adkindo]

Geno gets ones back

[Burger Beer]

heyyouhineyhole.

[Ron Madden]

BANG! Geno Goes BOOM!!!

[bigfoot52]

Bam !!

[mamell]

3-1...better than 3-0.. Nice on Eugenio..

[Ironman92]

Awesome Suarez!

BOOM

[adkindo]

Aquino with a solid hit

[Ironman92]

451 feet

[North]

Well, I heard Sidd Finch's son is out there somewhere.

[757690]

AAAAquino with a baaaase hit,

[mamell]

I have a strange feeling Aquino wants to play in the big leagues now instead of AAA.. I wonder why other than better everything for him..

[The Operator]

451 feet for Geno

Damn

- - - Updated - - -

Iglesias!!!!!

Tie game!!!!

[TheBigLebowski]

We’re going to score on this guy. Just have to hope AD can keep the ball in the yard.

[NebraskaRed]

Tie game!

[Ron Madden]

Iglesias ties this baby up!!!!

[adkindo]

Jose Igleasis ties it up with a 2 Run HR!!!!

[Ironman92]

Keep batting that guy 5th smh

[North]

Well well.

[mamell]

...and they got the 3 spot back! Time for Disco to tighten things down and slam the door shut.

[bigfoot52]

Back to Back Jacks !!

[NebraskaRed]

Iglesias looks like a little kid next to Aquino, but most people would.

[adkindo]

dont hit it to RF....those seem to be staying in the park tonight....Left Center is the place to drive it

[gagliano]

iglesius is a gem. love the guy

He’s a 4.00 ERA guy on pace for about a 2.5 WAR, according to Fangraphs.

Not bad for our #5 starter.

Nobody was blaming Benavides himself for running out of players, Thom.

It was an indictment on the roster management of The Reds in general and the fact that this repeatedly happens to them this year thanks to the 65 man bullpen that they don't even utilize.

I was blaming him. I still blame him.

[NebraskaRed]

I prefer our Suarez to their Suarez.

[Big Klu]

That would be...zero.

Dolf Luque leads all Hispanic pitchers in home runs with 5.

[Ron Madden]

Nice bounce back inning for Disco

[mamell]

Quick lil 1, 2, 3 for Disco. Finishing up against the pitcher didn't hurt him though of course..

[adkindo]

some dudes have to throw up before they are ready to pitch, others take a shot of whisky....many different traditions over time have given pitchers the comfort needed to succeed on the mound.....unfortunately for Disco, he needs to allow the other team to hang 3 on him before he gets into his groove.....

[The Operator]

Peraza shoots a single into right to lead off the bottom of the second.

[mamell]

I hope Homer has the best game of his career tonight for Oakland..a 3rd no-no wouldn't hurt.

[NebraskaRed]

Barnhart wasn't seeing those pitches very well.

[Ironman92]

I hope Homer has the best game of his career tonight for Oakland..a 3rd no-no wouldn't hurt.

Thought he was going tomorrow?

[Ron Madden]

Thought he was going tomorrow?

He is

[The Operator]

Disco hits one in the screws but right at Pujols who doubles up Peraza at second.

Damn. He smoked that ball.

[adkindo]

good contact by Disco

[North]

We get it.

[The Operator]

I like our chances to score more off of this guy. Gives up a lot of solid contact. Disco needs to hold them where they're at though.

[GAC]

I hope Homer has the best game of his career tonight for Oakland..a 3rd no-no wouldn't hurt.

The only way Homer has a no hitter is if he doesn't take the mound! LOL

[mamell]

Damned..and I was just thinking there's no way they can turn a DP after Jose took 2nd..

[RedseatHR]

Thom sounds like he’s trying to start the Freddie Benavides bandwagon

[mamell]

A kid can dream though even if my kid days are long gone.. LOL

[GAC]

Whose BP is going to win or lose this one?

Well, you do need an ass to pull the wagon!

[adkindo]

Barnhart wasn't seeing those pitches very well.

didn't it seem like when he returned, there was like 3 games where he was seeing the ball great.....since then, outside of a few very big hits, he looks rough at the plate again

[mamell]

Both teams get to start the 3rd with top of their respective batting orders..

[Big Klu]

Thom sounds like he’s trying to start the Freddie Benavides bandwagon

Thom is all about trying to stir up drama.

[mamell]

I dunno.. That HR the other night wasn't too hateful. I'm not quite ready to give it back to Atlanta.

[GAC]

Isn't disco easy to steal on?

- - - Updated - - -

Beautiful pitch t K Trout

[Big Klu]

I look forward to the day when Thom Brennaman will put on the uniform and coach these guys properly on the finer points of getting the lead runner at second base and turning the double play.

[NebraskaRed]

Wonder if we'll see Gausman tonight

[The Operator]

Hattie-burg?


So now Thom is over pronouncing everyone's names. Lol

[WVRedsFan]

Wonder if we'll see Gausman tonight

It seems managers are using "the new guy" more and more. My guess is yes.

[Big Klu]

Chris, they aren't just whispering about Albert Pujols and Father Time anymore. Those two now go together like peanut butter and jelly.

[NebraskaRed]

A lot of pitches, but Disco took care of things.

[Ron Madden]

Disco has to be more pitch efficient

[Big Klu]

Hattie-burg?


So now Thom is over pronouncing everyone's names. Lol

Isn't that where Southern Mississippi is?

[adkindo]

lets get some runners on base, Aquino needs some RBI's

[WVRedsFan]

Isn't that where Southern Mississippi is?

Yes, I've been there nice place.

[GAC]

I guess Peraza going for the sure out instead of the lead runner didn't come back to bite him in the ass did it Thom?

[The Operator]

Jeez Joey

[ochoa30]

Senzel not looking good at the plate recently. Lunging at everything and getting jammed on average fastballs. Needs to make an adjustment.

[The Operator]

This umpires strike 3 calls are hilarious. He's under the impression people give a crap about him.

[Big Klu]

I believe it was Tom Seaver who once said that if the offense gives you an out, take it.

Probably his ghost or an impersonater. Met Leslie at an Italian restaurant in Charleston. Really nice guy.

[Big Klu]

Thom is really on Jim Day's ass about giving that kid a ball.

Thom needs to mind his own ****ing business and stop trying to stir up crap for other people.

[RedseatHR]

I hate it when announcers say a game or series means more to one team than another. It’s really dumb. Especially when you’re talking about national league central teams this season

[Big Klu]

6-4-yessiree-3!

[Ron Madden]

Nice pick by Joey on that double play

[TheBigLebowski]

Great play!

[mamell]

Well this blows.. Internet down all over town here in Columbia SC.. My trusty phone works though..

4-3 Reds!!!

[NebraskaRed]

Impressive

[adkindo]

The Punisher does not do ties!!!!

[Ron Madden]

WOW! Aquino hurt that ball !!!

[Fil3232]

So I like this Aquino guy...

[RedseatHR]

Eric Davis just punished that ball

[Ironman92]

Big shot Aquino [emoji122][emoji122][emoji122][emoji122]

[GAC]

Geeeeez! Lol

[membengal]

Holy crap. That ball was destroyed.

[mamell]

The Punisher..outta there..

[Burger Beer]

Is he the real deal?

(rhetorical, mostly)

[NebraskaRed]

Got a "mark it down" but no "doctor"

[The Operator]

Was your stepdad an umpire or something?

Nope, never had a stepdad. Parents were married for 45 years and then my dad died in 2016.


Thanks for the quip though. I want the strike calls to be right and MLB umpires are pretty bad.

[Spanky]

Good thing they gave him more than 5 PAs.

[JCM11]

This kid is scary that was a bomb.

[NCReds]

That one may have went farther than Suarez’s.... kids got power

[adkindo]

Aquino....448 Feet

[BluegrassRedleg]

That’s four home runs here at GABP tonight, and that last one by Aquino made a totally different sound off the bat. He absolutely demolished that ball. He’s got that 44 that reminds you of Davis, but the body type (in person) kinda makes me think of a young George Foster.

[NebraskaRed]

Oh no

[JCM11]

Iglesias may be a worse base runner that Winker.

[adkindo]

wow

- - - Updated - - -

so does that count for stolen base?

[RedseatHR]

Iglesias may be a worse base runner that Winker.

Strong statement

[JCM11]

Nice piece of hitting by Ervin.

[davereds24]

Can’t have a Reds game without a mistake on the bases.

I love how Ervin goes to right field so often.

[adkindo]

when are we allowed to believe in Ervin?

[GAC]

Ervin singles ... a run lost Jose

[JCM11]

when are we allowed to believe in Ervin?

When he starts hitting RHP. He's a good player I like having him on the team. Not everyone is cut out to be a 500+ AB regular.

[Fil3232]

This mix/match strategy with the lineup is growing on me. Caught the end of the Cubs/A’s game last night and announcers were crediting a big part of Oakland’s depth (and success) to finding a lot of ABs for a lot of guys. Makes your pinch hitters much more dangerous and must create some internal competition which I think is good.

[The Operator]

Disco!!!

5-3 Reds!


Second time he's hit the ball hard tonight

[Ron Madden]

RBI for Disco!!!

[Big Klu]

Disco has hit the ball hard twice tonight.

[NebraskaRed]

Disco is making good contact today.

[WVRedsFan]

Don't ever walk someone and let "Killer" Disco bat :)

[Kingspoint]

Ervin: AAA callup Outfielder hitting well.

Aquino: AAA callup Outfielder hitting well.

O'Grady: AAA callup Outfielder...we'll see.


Can't believe some said we don't have any Outfielders when I said we had plenty and that's why we should move Puig.

[757690]

One of the few Disco hits that I like.

[Burger Beer]

I want the strike calls to be right and MLB umpires are pretty bad.


Not meant as a personal attack, just having fun because I disagree with your often-stated solution.

[adkindo]

Sort of like 1987, 1990, and 1999, when the Reds had five outfielders who got significant AB's.

1987: Eric Davis, Dave Parker, Kal Daniels, Tracy Jones, Paul O'Neill

1990: Eric Davis, Paul O'Neill, Billy Hatcher, Glenn Braggs, Herm Winningham

1999: Greg Vaughn, Mike Cameron, Dmitri Young, Michael Tucker, Jeffrey Hammonds

But a 6-3 Reds lead after 4

[Ironman92]

Good for her...she could use the help

[NCReds]

Halos decide to let their pitcher lead off at the plate the top-half of the fifth? That seems questionable...

[NebraskaRed]

Trout is good.

[Ron Madden]

Mike Trout just being Mike Trout

[malcontent]

Meat. Ball.

[Burger Beer]

Yup. Mike Trout.

Disco gotta be on a short leash, even at 80 pitches, third time through. But that bullpen...

[Red Raindog]

I think Trout got quite a bit of that one

[Roy Tucker]

Man, Trout hit the snot out of that ball.

[wvreds]

DeSclafani is the weakest link

[WestTNRed]

I have no idea why you don't intentionally walk Trout with nobody on and 2 outs in the inning but that's just me...

[NCReds]

Meat. Ball.

One of many tonight so far by Disco

[adkindo]

honestly, Trout would be 3x the star he is if he played for the other team in LA or on the East Coast

[WVRedsFan]

DeSclafani is the weakest link

Mahle?

[NebraskaRed]

DeSclafani is the weakest link

If only he could solve the problem of throwing the ball right down the middle.

[JFLegal]

even jerky!

[Burger Beer]

Mahle?

Bullpen.

[adkindo]

Lester's ERA was 3.86 this morning.....now it is 4.11....that is a pretty big spike from just one outing for a starting pitcher in August

Another hit for The Punisher


I think I like him

[adkindo]

I am loving this Aquino young man

Aquino another hit!

Couldn't have asked for a better start for AA.

[Ironman92]

Bench this hitting machine

[Tadasimha]

Beginning to like this Aquino fellow

[Spanky]

Aquino sucks... if you look at his minor league stats excluding this year of course.

[Ironman92]

Maybe the MLB balls are more loadeder

One of the few Disco hits that I like.

Groan! How long have you been sitting on that one?

OK Amir dial it back, just settle down and be yourself

That American Family Insurance commercial with Derek Jeter is barf worthy.

I saw Don Drysdale knock Frank Robinson down at Crosley Field, Robby got up and hit the next pitch into the screen above the leftfield wall for a HR.

Tucker turning into a power hitter!

[Burger Beer]

I would

He ain't gonna hit for himself. Wasn't scoring at home. Nevermind.

That time on the IL for Tucker sure healed something! Way to go Tuck!

Barnhart is a bad mutha-Tucker

I like when everyone contributes pretty well

Can you smell that?

It's the ozone of a playoff race and the REDS are in it.

[TheBigLebowski]

Who is this guy and should we be worried for Tucker?

[bigfoot52]

Tucker !!
I think his injury is behind him.
Welcome Back, Tucker!

[Kingspoint]

I like when everyone contributes pretty well

Always happens when the team feels they are in a playoff race.

Lady in the OF stands bailed on catching Barnhart HR.

I saw Don Drysdale on The Brady Bunch ;)

Exact same pitch Tucker hit his last HR on....a curve he waited on, went down and got it.

[Kingspoint]

These young guys...Van Meter, Aquino, Ervin, Senzel, and our Starting staff's consistency, added with Ownership's willingness to go out and get a Top Arm and the fire that Puig had helped establish on the team, along with Garrett and Bell's aggressiveness against the Pirates and it all adds up to a playoff chase.

[The Operator]

I saw Don Drysdale on The Brady Bunch ;)

Yep. Told Greg Brady he had good stuff and then he went out and walked a bunch of guys. Lol
