no ervin again! why winker?

[UPRedsFan]

no ervin again! why winker?

Winker against rhp is way more productive than Ervin.
No Galvis! Iglesias being rewarded for a hot streak?

[Rolando]

no ervin again! why winker?

Because Winker is a better hitter.

[DocRed]

Soto and Kendrick back in the lineup, We're doomed

[Rolando]

Soto and Kendrick back in the lineup, We're doomed
That might be a little premature LOL

[DocRed]

I get why Iglesias is playing but LHB kill Ross to the tune of .857 career OPS. I personally would have started Galvis unless he's not ready or is jet lagged or sumfin.

[Ron Madden]

Nationals lineup has been added to the original post

[Strikes Out Looking]

I'll be in attendance tonight, hopefully to bring home the W for the Reds.

[Ironman92]

I would never start Iglesias. He’s killed us at SS and the plate all season.

There’s a reason Peraza has played in more games this season than Iglesias. Iglesias pretty much useless.

You're being sarcastic right?

[Ironman92]

Tucker is 4/4 with a walk off of Ross but Farmer catches his buddy.

Suarez 0-6 off o Ross

[Kingspoint]

You know everyone has now set up Iglesias to get multiple runs, hits and rbi's.

[Ironman92]

You're being sarcastic right?

Nah....he’s 13 for last 27 = CHUMP

Last 15 games slugging .650? Pfff sick of him and his concrete hands

Besides the stats he’s always arguing with umps, taking strike 3’s and just generally not very likable

my god, these people really have no clue, do they? galvis should be starting ss from here out. geez!!!

[malcontent]

I really hope Wood kicks it in for the rest of the season, and re-ups with the Reds.

Then if they could go out and acquire a second quality LH starter, the rotation would be very solid.

If they continue to count on Disco and Mahle, I just don't think they'll have the horses to make the playoffs.

[brian5562]

Feel like Senzel could use a night or two off. He's really struggling at the dish.

[mhs95_06]

Tucker is 4/4 with a walk off of Ross but Farmer catches his buddy.

Suarez 0-6 off o Ross

I hate personal catchers!

[mhs95_06]

Not the actual person, but the principle.

[JaxRed]

I'll be watching/monitoring...but these last 2 games sucked a lot of the oxygen out of me....

[Big Klu]

my god, these people really have no clue, do they? galvis should be starting ss from here out. geez!!!

Just brainstorming, but maybe he hadn't arrived yet.

[NebraskaRed]

I've noticed a lot of games this year actually starting a few minutes after their scheduled start. It happens all of the time of course, but it seems more common this year.

From #Reds game notes:
Since the All-Star break the Reds lead NL in
Runs (169, 5.63),
BA (.290)
OBP (.354),
SLG (.507)
OPS (.861)

[Big Klu]

Votto with a single, but selfishly chooses not to drive in a run. No RBI.

#notelite

[NebraskaRed]

was Suarez a little slow coming out of the box?

[mhs95_06]

No Reds gets much wood on the ball in the top of the first.

[JaxRed]

So word is that Galvis is a second baseman for us.... not a SS

[NebraskaRed]

Interesting strikezone today

[mhs95_06]

Wood 3-0 on Rendon and it should be no worse than 2-1.

[Big Klu]

Should be a K, instead it is 3-1.

Strike 4...

[Ron Madden]

Looks like we're blessed with another of mlbs finest umpires tonight

[Tom Servo]

Thought Senzel might have had this if he read it better, not sure though.

[Big Klu]

So word is that Galvis is a second baseman for us.... not a SS

I'm going to guess he plays both 2B and SS for the Reds (though not at the same time).

[gagliano]

Just brainstorming, but maybe he hadn't arrived yet.

klu, you're probably right lol. i'll save my outrage for tomorrow if he doesnt start

[Big Klu]

Thought Senzel might have had this if he read it better, not sure though.

Maybe, but I think he was decoying the runner at 2nd.

[mhs95_06]

Run counts?

[Ron Madden]

Double Play ends the inning!

[Big Klu]

3-yessiree-6!

[JaxRed]

Run counts?

If I was Nats I'd be looking at that.

[Big Klu]

Run counts?

Evidently not. Rendon should have tried to get into a rundown, but failed to do so.

[mhs95_06]

Run counts?

Surely Robles crossed home before Rendon was tagged for the 3rd out!

- - - Updated - - -

Marty says its 1-0. TV crew must be oblivious.

[Big Klu]

No Thom, it's 12 games! He had an AB in that game last year, so it counts! If he had hit a HR in that AB, it would have counted!

[CTA513]

lady behind the plate just spilled beer all over herself after that foul ball right at her

[JaxRed]

Reds web page has it 1-0

[mhs95_06]

MLM.com scoreboard has it 1-0.

[gagliano]

cant wait til danny graves hits puberty

[Big Klu]

Surely Robles crossed home before Rendon was tagged for the 3rd out!

- - - Updated - - -

Gameday has it at 1-0, so you are right -- FSO is asleep at the switch.

[NebraskaRed]

Gameday has it at 1-0, so you are right -- FSO is asleep at the switch.

yeah, Nationals' feed has it 1-0 too.

[Tom Servo]

Gameday has it at 1-0, so you are right -- FSO is asleep at the switch.
Jeez that's embarrassing.

[JaxRed]

Looks like we're blessed with another of mobs finest umpires tonight

So the mob is behind all these bad calls?

[mhs95_06]

I bet Farmer and Rendon were expecting Votto to throw home. Nope I'm wrong , they just showed the replay and Farmer never got out from behind the plate. Once Votto threw it to 2nd, Iggy should have been charging the throw and trying to make the tag sooner.

[Ron Madden]

So the mob is behind all these bad calls?

MLB Umpires do a terrible job calling balls and strikes.

[Big Klu]

So the mob is behind all these bad calls?

In 100 years, some things never change.

[Big Klu]

Contrary to Thom's opinion, I'm sure Robles knew he had to cross the plate before the tag was made for the final out.

[Rolando]

Votto should have thrown after he tagged first.

[Ron Madden]

Nice Play Geno

[Big Klu]

Votto should have thrown after he tagged first.

He did. He threw to 2nd.

[mhs95_06]

Votto should have thrown after he tagged first.

Yes, to home, and Farmer should have been up and ready!

[JaxRed]

Only question was whether he should have gone to 2nd first..... probably not.

[NebraskaRed]

Baby Shark Ks on a good slider.

[paulrichjr]

Ok so how did they score? I saw double play and then noticed it’s 1-0. On a plane about to fly but watched on At-Bat app.

[JaxRed]

Ok so how did they score? I saw double play and then noticed it’s 1-0. On a plane about to fly but watched on At-Bat app.

Runner crossed plate before third out. It was not a force.

[mhs95_06]

I'd bet if Brandon Phillips would have been playing first base, he'd have been on top of it and whipped the throw home in short order, which would have caught Farmer out of position.

[Big Klu]

I don't think they would have been able to get the runner at the plate -- Robles runs too well. And I don't think they could have gotten a 3-6-3 DP, either. The only way they could get two outs was the way they did -- unfortunately, the runner crossed the plate before the tag was made at 2nd.

[paulrichjr]

Runner crossed plate before third out. It was not a force.

So if Votto had thrown to second and then the ball had been thrown back to him for the out no run but I assume he tagged first and then threw to second?

[Tom Servo]

Baby Shark Ks on a good slider.
I still appreciate it but it should be noted that Elvis Andrus was the real Baby Shark original in baseball.

[NebraskaRed]

Nationals announcers calling Iglesias the best defensive SS in baseball.

[Ironman92]

Iglesias slipped out of the box costing himself a crap hit

[mhs95_06]

Only question was whether he should have gone to 2nd first..... probably not.

No way, if he goes to 2nd he gets just one out and the run scores. Taking the out at first was the right thing, and while he's doing that assess what to do next, but he's got to do it right away. Votto was just as oblivious as the TV crew.

[JaxRed]

So if Votto had thrown to second and then the ball had been thrown back to him for the out no run but I assume he tagged first and then threw to second?

Yes

[Kingspoint]

Iglesias slipped out of the box costing himself a crap hit

darn

[Big Klu]

So if Votto had thrown to second and then the ball had been thrown back to him for the out no run but I assume he tagged first and then threw to second?

Yes. A 3-6-3 DP would have been a force out at both bases, and the run would not score. But I don't think they could have turned it that way in time. IMO the only way they could have gotten the DP was the way they did it, 3-6 with a tag at 2nd.

[Rolando]

Yes. A 3-6-3 DP would have been a force out at both bases, and the run would not score. But I don't think they could have turned it that way in time. IMO the only way they could have gotten the DP was the way they did it, 3-6 with a tag at 2nd.
hopefully it doesn't come back to haunt them later in the game

[Big Klu]

Also, in the early innings, you have to take the double play when it's presented to you. Otherwise, you take the risk of opening the floodgates for a big inning.

[Big Klu]

hopefully it doesn't come back to haunt them later in the game

I don't think there is anything to be haunted about. I don't think they could have cut down the runner at the plate, and I don't think they could have completed a 3-6-3 DP, either.

[NebraskaRed]

Much better outing for Wood, so far. Yew like to see that kind of bounceback fir him.

[RED VAN HOT]

Usually the bad calls go both ways...not tonight. Ross is getting calls that just graze the box. Wood is not getting strikes that are clearly in the box. I count 3 so far.

[Kingspoint]

Love saying, "Mr. Winkie!" (from Disney's, "The Wind in the Willows").

[Tom Servo]

damn, thought Votto had Ross figured out there.

[Kingspoint]

A sinker that didn't sink. Washington got lucky on that one.

[gagliano]

aquino with the old tony batista stance. cant miss with that.

[Rolando]

damn, thought Votto had Ross figured out there.

Yeah strikeout cost them a run he's got at least move him up

[NebraskaRed]

Blurgh

[Ron Madden]

Soto got all of that one

[NebraskaRed]

What is it with the Reds having such a hard time winning in D.C.

[RedTeamGo!]

The reds are back!

Take that how you will.

[Ironman92]

Soto is one impressive 20 year old hitter

[NebraskaRed]

Gaaaahhh

[JCM11]

Wood just doesn't have good enough stuff to miss location like that.

[Ron Madden]

Wood can go on the free agent market for all I care

[NebraskaRed]

Wood can go on the free agent market for all I care

I have the same thoughts, but then watch him go on to have a career year next year.

[RedseatHR]

Wood can go on the free agent market for all I care

Personally I feel like that’s the plan. But this front office always has a surprise in store

[TheBigLebowski]

Wood can go on the free agent market for all I care

That’s the first negative thing I’ve seen you post.

You know we’ve hit hard times when Madden’s got a mad on.

[Tom Servo]

6 HRs allowed by Wood so far in 3 and a half starts. Not a great sign, but could be fluky small sample since he's traditionally had fairly low HR/9 rates.

[mhs95_06]

Wood can go on the free agent market for all I care

Do they have to make him a qualifying offer to get compensation if he signs elsewhere, and if so, how much would that be?

[RedForLife]

Every time the Reds get within a whiff of a .500 record they crumble and fall asleep.

[The Operator]

It seems like every time The Reds start sniffing toward .500 they immediately come crashing back down.

Maybe this will wind up being a 2009 type of year which foreshadows bigger units to come in 2020. I hope.

[TheBigLebowski]

Every time the Reds get within a whiff of a .500 record they crumble and fall asleep.

Yeah. And it’s sad to see all the local hopefuls who buy the bubble every time. EVERY time.

[JCM11]

Senzel has been pretty bad lately. Might be time to give Ervin some starts in CF.

[Ron Madden]

That’s the first negative thing I’ve seen you post.

You know we’ve hit hard times when Madden’s got a mad on.

I'm not mad I'm just being honest.

With his injury history and the fact he hasn't shown me anything, I'd let.him walk this winter.

[TheBigLebowski]

Senzel has been pretty bad lately. Might be time to give Ervin some starts in CF.

Maybe a night of, but he’s a young guy and he missed a big chunk of the season. He needs to suck it up.

[Rolando]

Yeah. And it’s sad to see all the local hopefuls who buy the bubble every time. EVERY time.

not sure what that supposed to mean

[Kc61]

It seems like every time The Reds start sniffing toward .500 they immediately come crashing back down.

Maybe this will wind up being a 2009 type of year which foreshadows bigger units to come in 2020. I hope.

Next step for the Reds is to learn to win on the road.

[mhs95_06]

Will Bell get to pinch hit for Wood straight up in the top of the 6th, or will he do another double switch in the bottom of the 5th?

[Ironman92]

Thom made a smart comment...dang

[Rantly]

I guess double switch, he loves them

[Ironman92]

Duh

[mhs95_06]

I doubt they get thru a 9 inning game tonight without rain.

[JCM11]

Aquino looks really good in RF so far.

[Ron Madden]

Nice Play Aquino!

[Rantly]

Even a blind squirrel...

[mhs95_06]

Duh

I'm thinking Wood may not be able to pitch thru the 5th, but he did.

[Big Klu]

Thom made a smart comment...dang

What? (I had the TV muted.)

[RedTeamGo!]

Senzel has been pretty bad lately. Might be time to give Ervin some starts in CF.

Or it might be time to realize he’s a rookie going through a slump and let him work his way out of it on the field. He’s a likely cornerstone player for this team for the next 5-6 years. Panicking because he’s going through a small slump in August in a season that is over (sorry folks, it’s over), is a bad idea.

[Ron Madden]

Peraza Walks

[JCM11]

A walk by Peraza:eek:

[Coopdaddy67]

No way, he was safe.

Edit: Nevermind.

Why are they giving up outs down 3 runs?!

[JCM11]

When are we going to quit running on Robles? Peraza has to slide to the inside of the bag there.

[Ron Madden]

No way, he was safe.

Looked awful close to me

[mhs95_06]

Can't Peraza see Rendon going way outside of the base to take the throw and adjust his route to the inside of the base?

[Ironman92]

My lord what a play by Robles. Damn

[Ironman92]

Any ump bashers going to give ump any credit for that incredible call?

[Big Klu]

Looked awful close to me

Remember, there has to be conclusive proof that he wasn't out in order to overturn the call.

[Kc61]

Can't Peraza see Rendon going way outside of the base to take the throw and adjust his route to the inside of the base?

Outfielder made a great throw.

[Ironman92]

Can't Peraza see Rendon going way outside of the base to take the throw and adjust his route to the inside of the base?

I gotta think Peraza is wondering....how the hell?

[JCM11]

Geno up as the tying run.

[Coopdaddy67]

Angel Hernandez would have called ball 4 strike 3 on Votto.

[The Operator]

Thom made a smart comment...dang

Even a stopped clock is right twice a day.

[Coopdaddy67]

Looked awful close to me

He got him. Great call by the 3rd base umpire.

Looked in there by a mile live.

[Big Klu]

Votto walks again, and refuses to drive in the run. No RBI.

#notelite

[Kingspoint]

https://www.baseball-reference.com/leagues/NL/2019-baserunning-batting.shtml

[mhs95_06]

Outfielder made a great throw.

Yes, Peraza should expect that and do the very best he can to evade the tag in the event he makes that great throw several feet wide of the base.

[coryfly]

Great throw for sure. That was an awful slide though. Basically slide in the best way to optimize getting out. Still, I guess you have to be aggressive when the team is hitting so poorly. If they can get into the pen maybe they can make some noise again.

[mhs95_06]

Yes, Peraza should expect that and do the very best he can to evade the tag in the event he makes that great throw several feet wide of the base.

Just like Farmer has got to expect Votto to try to make a great play to nail the runner at home in the first inning and get up in front of the plate in case he does.

[Rolando]

I have seen enough enough of Jose Peraza and Jr house

[BluegrassRedleg]

2 runs vs. Erick Fedde

0 runs vs. Joe Ross

Un. Real.

[NebraskaRed]

2 runs vs. Erick Fedde

0 runs vs. Joe Ross

Un. Real.

Ross has been very good lately. He has the longest scoreless inning streak of anyone in their rotation.

[Rolando]

2 runs vs. Erick Fedde

0 runs vs. Joe Ross

plus horrible starting pitching for the Reds starters both games

[malcontent]

Peraza is not a smart base-runner.

[NebraskaRed]

Ross has been very good lately. He has the longest scoreless inning streak of anyone in their rotation.

and also the Reds have been blowing a lot of chances to score runs.

[Ron Madden]

Nice Clean Inning for Sims

[Tom Servo]

plus horrible starting pitching for the Reds starters both games
I know the bar is set pretty high these days with starters but Wood’s start wasn’t horrible, the Reds were and still are in this one. Disco’s was awful.

[BluegrassRedleg]

Ross has been very good lately. He has the longest scoreless inning streak of anyone in their rotation.

6.75

For those who have been holding out hope for a playoff berth, you don't get to face Erick Feddes and Joe Rosses in the playoffs.

Oddly, it's those guys who worry me more when you see the daily pitching matchups more than the studs. It seems like the Reds put together better ABs against bigger-name pitchers.

[Rolando]

I know the bar is set pretty high these days with starters but Wood’s start wasn’t horrible, the Reds were and still are in this one. Disco’s was awful.
you're right just another frustrated post. I do wish wood would stop being such a homerun batting tee though

Iggy comes through anyway.

[JFLegal]

all jose iglesias does is produce. defensively ... and offensively.

Iglesias didn’t let the terrible call on strike one get him

C’mon boys steal this one

[Ron Madden]

[mhs95_06]

Sims gets another inning.

[BuckeyeRedleg]

Peraza is not a smart base-runner.

1 walk in last 140 something plate appearances tells me he’s probably not a Mensa at the dish either.

[RedseatHR]

I feel like we still have a shot here tonight. Maybe I’m crazy or stupid but they almost pulled it off last night.

[Rantly]

RBI Iglesias!

Iggy has come through time after time in those exact situations this year.

[Ron Madden]

Now Sims has trouble throwing strikes

[RedseatHR]

I love that shirt Bell wears with the Mr Redlegs head over the heart. I haven’t seen that for sale online.

[Rantly]

Bell leaves Sims in, probably be wrong decision.

[Kingspoint]

Sims still not throwing strikes.

[RedseatHR]

Thank you Dozier

- - - Updated - - -

Heck yea! Throw em out then strike em out

[WVRedsFan]

Sims got er done.

[Kingspoint]

Thank you Washington Generals.

[Ironman92]

Ouch...good play

Not automatic

Way to keep composure kid!

[Ron Madden]

Sims shuts'em down for 2 innings

[BluegrassRedleg]

I know what his ERA is, I was pointing out that he's been very good lately.

Fair enough, BUT... those were in two big West parks, and one was against a terrible offensive team.

You cannot let Joe Ross shut you down if you think you might be postseason worthy.

Thom “votto has been up twice he has singled struck out and drawn a walk”

Huh?? How’s that add up to twice?

[Trademark]

Looks like this team officially done. That was fun while it lasted

[JCM11]

Votto is locked in.

[Ironman92]

I think we are going to score 3 but I feel gonna give up more

[Big Klu]

Votto with a single, but selfishly refuses to drive in a run. No RBI.

Remember when it was 10-0 vs the Cubs on Saturday night? That feels like a month ago.

LOL. OK, that initially went over my head. :p

[Ironman92]

A long Soto HR seems obvious off BobSteve

[Kc61]

Stephenson has been a nice story this season.

His ERA was affected by a few bad outings, but I hope they bring him back next year.

[Rantly]

Nice inning RS

[Tom Servo]

5 scoreless outings for Stephenson in August.

[Ironman92]

That one worked

[Kc61]

Ok, VM starts off the ninth with a double. Time to take advantage of Nats’ bullpen.

[Kingspoint]

C'mon, boys! Give 'em heck!

[BluegrassRedleg]

Need a couple more VanMeters on that one.

[Ironman92]

Keep it going

Great job JVM

[BluegrassRedleg]

:eek:

[adkindo]

why not pinch hit with Ervin?

[Ironman92]

C’mon shortstops

[Roy Tucker]

I don’t think Galvis would fit in with the Howsam-era Reds.

[BluegrassRedleg]

Welcome, Freddy. :beerme:

[RedseatHR]

Was worried House was going to wave in JVM

[Ironman92]

98 whew...didn’t know he threw over 95

[BluegrassRedleg]

why not pinch hit with Ervin?

RHP, I suppose.

[Ironman92]

Oppo

Welcome to Cincy Mr. Galvis

[mhs95_06]

Was worried House was going to wave in JVM

Would have claimed he was trying to get the tying run in scoring position!

[Tom Servo]

I'd ask Tucker to deliver just this one time, but I used that request up already in extra innings against Atlanta...

[Tom Servo]

well that sucked

Letting Erick Fedde and Joe Ross outpitch your guys isn't a good recipe for success

[adkindo]

RHP, I suppose.

I guess, but it has to be deeper that right hand/left hand.....Ervin had better numbers against right handers than Tucker and showed good power against right handers last year....and is hitting almost everything near the plate lately.

[Ironman92]

Tucker went out of the zone about 5x that AB

[mhs95_06]

Hudson threw a couple great pitches to K Iggy and Tucker! Too bad Doolittle wasn't in there.

[malcontent]

Could have been a different scenario if Peraza had learned from the past, respected Robles, and not lolly-gagged his way around the bases. Not smart.

[North]

Oh well...get'em tomorrow!

[RR1971]

I keep thinking we will get on a run and get over 500 but this team just doesn’t have the players to do it.

[Alabama]

No biggie. Only -3 in run differential these first few games. Just unlucky
