Reds @ Nationals 8-14-19 4:05PM

[Boston Red]

Up to 8 runs in .2 innings is not good, right?

[RedTeamGo!]

Yikes bro, yikes.

[JaxRed]

The combiination of

1) being short a reliever because of Garrett
2) Romano not being able to pitch tomorrow because of how many pitches he threw today
3) The fact he was terrible

Means he will almost certainly go down tomorrow in favor of another reliever.

[BluegrassRedleg]

Same ol' Sal.

[mamell]

Will anyone hold it against me if I just watch some old movie instead of "the game"? If so please send it in a self addressed, stamped envelope to the Reds offices. They'll get back to you I'm sure. I'm done.

[RR1971]

It was 1-1 when my flight took off. WTH happened?

[Buffalo1979]

Romano now with 10.80 era. Sigh, Only good thing is Can't watch anymore as First Row sports lost it's feed. lmao

[malcontent]

I think we've seen enough of Romano. Give another guy a chance to distinguish himself from batting practice.

They could bring up Alainz who is on the 40. But I'd bring up Kuhnel and waive Stephens.

[BCubb2003]

Is this what they call a “laugher”?

[RedForLife]

Johnson (hopefully) whispering to Bell: "Bout time to bring up Kuhnel"

I'd be happy if they brought up this guy.

[Red Raindog]

Over under 23 runs for Washington?

Thom continuing to harp on the Strasburg mound visit in a 16-4 game may be one of the most Thom things ever.

A grand slam here would be awesome.

[Alabama]

Well this isn’t gonna be good for that run differential. Maybe we will get some late ones here. Just unlucky again today.

[Rolando]

I think at this point I would just waive Romano

[NebraskaRed]

Reds Media Relations
@RedsPR

Bauer (9) and Romano (8) each established new career highs for runs allowed in a game.

[Roy Tucker]

Just saw the score on the bar TV. Golly.

Well, I guess the Reds are leaving no doubt about falling out of the race. Go big or go home.

[Jomama]

Romano now with 12.15 ERA.

It's possible.

5-4-yessiree-3!

WHAT? Waive Stephens??? LOL. Seriously, I forgot that dude is still on the 40.

[RedTeamGo!]

Lol why would anyone still be watching this?

[North]

Everybody! Rally caps! :D

[Coopdaddy67]

The worst thing is that you can't realistically use position players yet because the game could continue forever.

[Rolando]

It's possible.

but I also agree that it's time for guys like Stephens and Mella to go too.

[BluegrassRedleg]

Jesus. That (the two pitchers giving up career-high runs) has to be fairly rare in MLB history.

[Big Klu]

Thom continuing to harp on the Strasburg mound visit in a 16-4 game may be one of the most Thom things ever.

Thom is all about the drama. And if there isn't any, he'll create some.

[Rolando]

I have nothing else to do LOL

Too lazy to change channel is my excuse.

At least Aquino hasn't given up yet, something must have been lost in the translation.

[Red Raindog]

Too bad there wasn’t ten guys on base for the Aquino home run

well at least I get to still watch Aquino which is fun

[RedForLife]

Aquino with another blast! Now, if there had only been 12 guys on base.

[BluegrassRedleg]

The Punisher gives us at least a little something today. :beerme:

Still wouldn't come close to tying it up, Maybe a chance if 14 on base to have a chance to win this one.

[NebraskaRed]

just need 3 grand slams and we're right back in this one

[Tony Cloninger]

Throwing in the towel on Bauer after three starts is one of those things I kind of expect from Redszone but still makes me question the statement that its the premier anything for Reds discussion


I’m late responding here. My apologies. I was told Yesterday I should only respond within a certain window time frame during the GT. But did you expect any better from the same people who become Mopey and whiny as soon as this team is down 1-3 runs during the first 3 innings.

Wednesday night to-do list for Dick Williams:

(1) Waive Sal Romano
(2) Waive Jose Peraza
(3) Call Freddie Benavides from a burner at 2 or 3 in the morning, just to hear his voice.

Galvis hitsthat 5.5 hole like Tony Gwynn

Ervin robbers of a double or triple....nice play

[Big Klu]

Aquino is now 247th on the Reds' all-time home run list -- tied with 19 other players, including:

Jimmy Bloodworth
Jimmie Coker
Dave Collins
Nick Cullop
Kiki Cuyler
Hank Edwards
Tommy Griffith
Patrick Kivlehan
Andy Kosco
Mark Lewis
Al Libke
Algie McBride
Corky Miller
Stan Palys
Xavier Paul
Val Picinich
Rolando Roomes
Nick Senzel
Jerome Walton

[Tom Servo]

Galvis is 4-5 as a Red. So we got that going for us.

[Alabama]

Of course you hoped for the best, as did I. The fact of reality still has to come into play and after seeing the same up and down inconsistent year I'm just surprised how many people bought into this team still being a contender this late into the season. I'm still here, watching and hoping but also understanding that this ain't the year again unfortunately. At least they made some strides and are making moves to try and improve. I'll take that over the last 5+ years, that's for sure.

I was right from the get go. This team was nowhere near ready to compete. The rebuild was rushed and it was easy to see this roster had multiple holes.

[Big Klu]

Thom editorializing about Jared Hughes.

Again, Thom is all about the drama. And if there isn't any, he'll create some.

[BluegrassRedleg]

This is a glorious Albert Pujols/Jared Hughes comparison that Thom is making.

[Ironman92]

Galvis is 4-5 as a Red. So we got that going for us.

He improves our overall base running too

[BluegrassRedleg]

He improves our overall base running too

And our hair game.

[Tony Cloninger]

You were always right Bama. You called it. Like Nostradamus called Hitler. You’re always a step ahead of us.
Tell us more about those honest Braves and their unique ways of stocking their farm system again.

[RedForLife]

Galvis is 4-5 as a Red. So we got that going for us.

Which means most likely he won't be in the lineup tomorrow. Go figure.

[Tom Servo]

The rebuild is over. It didn't particularly work and now they're trying to make a direct leap into contention. It's not an ideal situation, but your insistence that they do the rebuild again isn't really any better.

But also, right from what get go? You leaned into this whole bit only after the season was underway.

Area Man Wants Credit for Predicting Losing Season For His Second Favorite Team

David Bell, y'all. :p

Lol this team has given up. Gotta love Cincinnati sports

[Birwin34]

Best outfielder they have is now in the game!

[Ironman92]

Why is Lorenzen in Cf...I missed it

[Alabama]

Of course I was always right. If you end up agreeing with something this franchise does, you are probably wrong.
You guys here just have a losing mentality.
And I never, ever, called the Braves honest. Innovative? Yes. Did they cheat? Absolutely. But who cares? Nobody got hurt and they got it rolling.
This board baffles me. The Reds have been a dumpster fire for the better part of a decade and 90% of the posters here agree with them and don’t see a problem.

[BluegrassRedleg]

Jared Hughes: Professional

[NebraskaRed]

somehow I missed that the Reds have only beaten the Nationals 3 times in 3 years.

[BCubb2003]

According to the Electoral College, the Nats have only won three of the innings.

[Birwin34]

I think it funny when someone brags about how smart they are when they predict something after it had already started happening.

[Bruce Berenyi]

and people wonder why I talk about mIke Oberry and Bob Barton, more fun than watching this dross, detritus and flotsam, jetsam , garbage

[JaxRed]

Aquino is like the guy in Signs 'It felt wrong not to swing"

1. I'm sure you have the data to back up your 90% claim
2. Do you read any thread? Do you see everyone disagreeing and arguing about every single thing about this team from the front office down to the best and worst mascots (Rosie and Gapper, respectively)? How could you read any thread here and say that "90% of the posters here agree with them and don't see a problem"?
3. When you say "You guys here just have a losing mentality" does it make you feel as cool as it sounds?

I’ve ripped in them. Especially the way the farm system development was run. You’ve just gone after everything and run it into the ground. Being a Pollyanna who never sees anything wrong is bad but so is the comments that make you sound like you just came here after hanging out in Braves and or Cardinals boards.

I actually like your cousin AUBURN a lot better. Seemed more of a less acerbic poster. Really made of fine material he was.

[Tom Servo]

Galvis! :jump:

Who's about to start a Freddy Galvis Appreciation thread?

[Big Klu]

That's 1 home run for Galvis, Thom! (AL HR's don't count! :D )

[Rantly]

Maybe. Probably not. But it shouldn’t make anyone feel better if they do.

I’d rather improve the draft position now. I know that’s anathema to many but it makes no difference to the health of the franchise if we finish 78-84 instead of 72-90. However, 72 wins gives us a better pick.
Oh no, the dreaded draft position talk.

[Tom Servo]

All the Reds have to do is win every game on the upcoming homestand and then they're back to .500!

[malcontent]

Oh no, the dreaded draft position talk.
I think we have a decent shot at #8-12.

[Mutaman]

I questioned the word "back" but a review showed that we won opening day. Winning Pitcher: Duke. Then we lost eight straight.

Shane Spencer. Guy looked like Mickey Mantle for the Yankees when they seem to have everything go right for them.

[Rantly]

I was right from the get go. This team was nowhere near ready to compete. The rebuild was rushed and it was easy to see this roster had multiple holes.
What a happy day for you.

[TheBigLebowski]

Better than the “I know we’re still losers and also-rans but winning 77 games just FEELS better” papp & delirium.

[Rantly]

I think we have a decent shot at #8-12.

And a guy from 15-20 will end up a star.

[klw]

Lolololol

Actually it is spelled Lodolo

[texasdave]

Over the course of the last 31 games, the Reds offense has put up 175 runs, or 5.6 per contest. They still have a losing record at 15-16. Incredible.

[NebraskaRed]

I'd just like to point out again that the Reds have only won 3 games in 3 years against the Nationals.

Or they could just hire people to run the team who aren't related to ownership or part of some half assed regional "dynasty"

[cumberlandreds]

Ewww... what a terrible series. I wasn't able to go to any of the games in DC this year and right now I"m glad I didn't. If I would have had to choose one it would have been todays game. I"m glad I missed that bullet.

How does Guerra get a save in 10 run blowout? I decided to go get dinner once they took Bauer out but looks like we never got closer than 11-4?
