[Kingspoint]

Made it to the game.

Great weather.

[Ironman92]

Made it to the game.

Great weather.

Enjoy

Only like 7 HR till the all time MLB season HR record is topped. Lining up nicely for this game...

Nope. I was 30 minutes late. Villar just broke it.

[Kingspoint]

Took a picture, but I don't know how to reduce it to 300kb.

[Kingspoint]

Can not think of a better place to be on 9/11 than at a baseball game.

My brother spent 9/11 emptying a high-rise across from Central Park before he secured the building and was the last to leave. With a mechanical engineering (and nuclear engineering) degree, including an integral knowledge of the infrastructure of New York City High-Rises (he had his own business refitting high-rises to be more energy efficient), he knew the moment of the first impact exactly how it would collapse upon itself, and how the 2nd one would, too. He eventually walked across a bridge as everyone else who left Manhattan that day, in order to get home to his family. He has since passed away (2006), but I will never forget.

[North]

The SEA catcher looks like a spider web.

[Ironman92]

Whew Aquino missed his pitch

[texasdave]

Just trying to bring the team a little luck here.

[Big Klu]

3-yessiree-5!

[Ron Madden]

Nice double play to end the first inning.
No score

[adkindo]

Whew Aquino missed his pitch

would it be fair to say that he is swinging at less bad pitches, but is also missing his pitch more often lately?

[Tom Servo]

I don't think Shed is going to be an outfielder for the Mariners.

[Ron Madden]

Peraza singles and goes to third on a single by Casali

[JaxRed]

I don't think Shed is going to be an outfielder for the Mariners.

Wasn't the greatest play....

[Tom Servo]

Votto RBI double!

[Ron Madden]

RBI double for Joey! Casli goes to third

[Tom Servo]

Not sure what Suarez was waiting for. Blandino either for that matter.

Up to Aquino to try and add on.

Aquino check swing almost pokes one through but it's an out, Reds miss a good opportunity for more runs.

[khunter2]

Anyone else notice what was in Casali’s back pocket when he got to 3rd base? Looked like a phone or something. Can’t imagine sliding on whatever that is would be comfortable...

Blandino is a really patient hitter...to a fault

[Ironman92]

Votto with double #400

Just went over 1000 runs the other day

[Tom Servo]

Sonny scoreless through 3

[Ron Madden]

Nice throw by Casali to cut down would be base thief and end the inning

Reds lead 1-0 after 3 innings

[Tom Servo]

Ervin! :jump:

2-0 Redlegs

Some hard hit balls find gloves after a Galvis double

Galvis, Peraza and Casali all had one pitch at bats...

They all crushed the ball too

[adkindo]

not sure if it is because its two non playoff teams just playing out the schedule or the west coast time (and I feel less energized / excited)....but these Seattle games have felt like the most "dead" environment for a game all year

[JaxRed]

Well we did win opening day...

[Tom Servo]

5 scoreless for Sonny. He's allowed just a pair of walks.

[Ron Madden]

Reds 2
Mariners 0

At the end of 5 innings

[North]

5 scoreless for Sonny. He's allowed just a pair of walks.

He is a gamer. Pay attention, Reds FO.

[Kingspoint]

This is my spouse's 1st Major League game. Hopefully, she's good luck. So far, so good.

- - - Updated - - -

Dave Niehaus was the best I ever saw or listened to.

[Tom Servo]

Sonny works around a two out hit batter to get Shed swinging on a full count.

Still scoreless through 6. Problem is the pitch count is already approaching 100.

[Ron Madden]

Reds lead 2-0 after 6 innings

[NebraskaRed]

I have tickets to go to the game tomorrow night, but I had the chance to go tonight.

I'm already mad at myself.

[757690]

Sonny Gray is such a boring pitcher tonight. Nothing’s happened all game long.

I think Kingspoint is going also.

[Tom Servo]

first batter to start the Seattle 7th is plunked :/

[The Operator]

Not a great start to the 7th for Sonny

HBP and a walk now


C'mon Sonny

[Tom Servo]

damn...

[The Operator]

Fly out to Aquino, runner at 2nd moves to 3rd

[adkindo]

need a double play

[North]

Oof...

[The Operator]

You've gotta be kidding me

Dammit

lol I wanna die

That’s why we can’t have nice things.

[Ron Madden]

DANG!!! Nothin has gone right for this team all season.

[757690]

Kyle Lewis doing his Aquino impression to start his MLB career.

[The Operator]

And now a 2nd hit

Gotta go get him. Damn

[Norm Chortleton]

That's 100% on fsn for putting NO-HITTER THRU 6 INNINGS on the score graphic

[kaldaniels]

You know, I’ve kinda felt like a dumbass cause at the time of the draft I said gun to my head I’d have picked Lewis over Senzel.

But early returns on Kyle look good...

[The Operator]

Offense needs to wake their ass up this next half inning.


Sonny Gray does not deserve to lose this game. Homer or not, he pitched his ass off and I'm tired of watching guys lose games like this.

[Tom Servo]

this sucks so bad lol

[kaldaniels]

I blame Kingspoint’s wife.

Get rid of her man...

[cincinnati chili]

That 7th inning was not David Bell's finest hour of managing.

[kaldaniels]

Offense needs to wake their ass up this next half inning.


Sonny Gray does not deserve to lose this game. Homer or not, he pitched his ass off and I'm tired of watching guys lose games like this.

I gotta take issue with Welsh. He acted like Sonny at 108 pitches was no cause for concern...

[The Operator]

this sucks so bad lol

I like the point Chris Welsh made. The Reds have been plagued by a lot of poorly timed homers given up by the pitching staff, but a lot of that is ok the offense. Just no room to breathe whatsoever and we're playing in an environment now where more homers than ever are being hit.

Gotta fix this offense.

[adkindo]

Offense needs to wake their ass up this next half inning.

that is where the real blame is....not going to win many games scorning 2 runs

[Kingspoint]

Some Mariners fans stood and clapped for him (not for sarcastic reasons, either).

[The Operator]

Agree about the pitch count. He was clearly gassed.

[Kc61]

That 7th inning was not David Bell's finest hour of managing.

Bell allowed his excellent starter to go for a no-hitter.

I have no trouble with that.

[North]

Down by one on the road at the end of the 7th. That's six ABs to rectify things. Nice close out of the 7th by Gausman.

[kaldaniels]

I have to say...the game has changed and with that my expectations have as well...

Unless you have a true horse on the mound, go for the team no-hitter rather than the individual one.

[The Operator]

Nice work by Gausman.


Every time he comes into a game I think of one of my favorite movies:

[malcontent]

I wanted Lewis, too. I think a few of us did.

[Kc61]

Who’s going to get you the team no-hitter. Amir Garrett?

[The Operator]

This guy with the 4.95 ERA might be our chance.

[757690]

Middle of the lineup. This is the inning to do something.

[Tom Servo]

You know, I’ve kinda felt like a dumbass cause at the time of the draft I said gun to my head I’d have picked Lewis over Senzel.

But early returns on Kyle look good...
I don’t think Lewis is gonna turn into a whole lot (I think the knee injury left him a less impactful player), but damned if he didn’t stick it to the Reds for passing on him...

[kaldaniels]

Who’s going to get you the team no-hitter. Amir Garrett?

I mean the odds are against 3 no-hit innings from the pen but if we are talking odds, Garrett (& Co.) is better than gassed Gray.

[malcontent]

I wouldn't mind watching Gausman throw that splitter a lot as a starter next year.

[Big Klu]

I'm a dinosaur, but I am always going to give a pitcher an opportunity to complete a no-hitter. Every time you go to the bullpen, you invite disaster.

[The Operator]

Well.

That certainly didn't go well.

[kaldaniels]

I'm a dinosaur, but I am always going to give a pitcher an opportunity to complete a no-hitter. Every time you go to the bullpen, you invite disaster.

Isn’t letting tired Gray pitch inviting disaster as well?

Answer (proven): Yes. Yes it is.

[The Operator]

I wouldn't mind watching Gausman throw that splitter a lot as a starter next year.

Let him try out for a spot, sure. But don't pencil him in.

He was released for a reason. If he's solid as a reliever that's still a huge win. The Reds have shown this year that you need a lot of reliable relievers if you don't wanna burn your pen up by the break.

[Kc61]

I mean the odds are against 3 no-hit innings from the pen but if we are talking odds, Garrett (& Co.) is better than gassed Gray.

RedsZone says he was gassed. In retrospect he was gassed.

But this bullpen hasn’t been reliable.

Gray gave up a homer. Last night Garrett gave up a homer.

[Big Klu]

Isn’t letting tired Gray pitch inviting disaster as well?

Answer (proven): Yes. Yes it is.

I still go with him. If he has given up 0 hits in 6 innings, then he deserves to be guy to give up the first one.

[The Operator]

Smith aboard as Gausman's throw gets past Votto

[kaldaniels]

Error on Votto.

Terrible scoring decision.

That’s fine. But it is inviting disaster (your words).

[The Operator]

I still go with him. If he has given up 0 hits in 6 innings, then he deserves to be guy to give up the first one.

If he had retired the first two batters I'd agree with you. But he plunked the leadoff hitter and walked the second one.

At that point the winning run is at the plate with nobody out and your starter is already approaching 110 pitches and it's only the 7th inning. Even if he was able to retire the next 3 guys, he'd be looking at 140 pitches to make it all 9.

I dunno, it's all hindsight now. But it sure didn't work out.

[Big Klu]

Let's face it. This pitching staff is a lose-lose situation. Because basically, this is a club of losers.

[North]

Not sure about bullpen disaster, but keeping in a pitcher who is sniffing a no-hitter is what has to be done. Especially so when there is absolutely no post-season possibilities.

[The Operator]

Runner at 3rd with only one out now after a sac bunt.

- - - Updated - - -

Welp that oughta do it. 4-2 on a Nola RBI

This offense ain't got 2 more runs in 'em.



Ugh. This game is a kick in the pants.

[50YrRedsFan]

A bad Seattle team showing how bad the Reds really are.

[The Operator]

It was the 7th inning with nobody out and he was already approaching 110 pitches, his season high has been 111.


How long you gonna let him go? 120? 130? 140?

I'm sure the memories of the no hitter would be fun next year after he goes under the knife for TJ surgery.

It’s simple math. Gray was not pitch efficient. He wasn’t going 9.

[The Operator]

That's where I'm at. Even if he got out of the 7th inning mess, he wasn't going the whole game. There was no way.

I was asking a question, man. It's part of a conversation. You're being a little bit dramatic with the whole "wrists slit" line.

[adkindo]

why pinch hit for a guy that just hit a HR?

I don't think we can jump to the conclusion that leaving Gray in for that spot in the 7th meant they were intending to keep him out there at 120+ pitches for the no-hitter.

[The Operator]

Oh he didn't go

That's crap

- - - Updated - - -


I don't think we can jump to the conclusion that leaving Gray in for that spot in the 7th meant they were intending to keep him out there at 120+ pitches for the no-hitter.

And that's fair, but why leave him in to begin with then?

He put the first two on and was laboring. Why wouldn't you pull him there unless you were letting him chase the no no?

- - - Updated - - -

Galvis gets plunked

Tying run comes to the plate in the form of BOG

[adkindo]

bases would be loaded with no outs if VanMeter does not swing at 2 pitches off the plate

[The Operator]

BOG walks! Bases loaded!

- - - Updated - - -

Here comes a pitching change

[adkindo]

i would let Dietrich bat....he has to be due.

[WVRedsFan]

I'm not going say much, but with the hitting of this team has gone south. Blandino 0-4, Suarez 0-3, Aquino 0-4, Iglesias 0-3, Barnhart pinch hit(why?), it goes on and on. You can't expect to win with 2 runs. that against a Seattle staff that has been horrible. I blame the hitting with the love for Gausman, a pitcher who showed me nothing at Alanta.

[The Operator]

Come on Casali!!

[Tom Servo]

And that's fair, but why leave him in to begin with then?

He put the first two on and was laboring. Why wouldn't you pull him there unless you were letting him chase the no no?

Probably because of all those times where they pulled a starter around 100 pitches only to see the bullpen falter and everyone go "and THAT'S you should stick with your best pitchers". Sonny was definitely not as sharp but he still hadn't allowed a single hit to that point.

Personally I envisioned a possible run scoring double at worst, I didn't see Sonny giving up a big fly there. But he did.

[The Operator]

Crap call for strike 2

- - - Updated - - -

Oh this ump is garbage

He wants to go home.

[adkindo]

terrible at bat by Casali

[The Operator]

Come on Diet Rich!

You're due!

[kaldaniels]

Why in the hell doesn’t FSOH show the overhead shot on those pitches?

Well that was interesting

Dietrich K's and ball gets away, he's safe at first. Barnhart scores

What the heck lol

Throw him out of the game!

This game will go down in history

And now he's tossed! Hell yeA!

Make this game infamous

Should have been strike 3, dead ball, game over.

Well damn

[50YrRedsFan]

Pirates are now only 3 games behind the Reds with 16 games to play for each team. Last place is still a possibility the way the Reds are playing.

[BluegrassRedleg]

Major wake-up call for Big C. Spend money this winter or eff off.

[WVRedsFan]

Mighty Joey has grounded out. Rats. 3 runs on 5 hits. sorry showing. West coast sux.

[JaxRed]

Should have been strike 3, dead ball, game over.

But the catcher touched the ball first and directed it to Dietrich.... not sure if that makes a difference.

[The Operator]

Major wake-up call for Big C. Spend money this winter or eff off.

Yep. Even if Aquino is 100% the real deal the offense needs major work. Bullpen too.


It's put up or shut up time for big mouth Bob.

[North]

Why in the hell doesn’t FSOH show the overhead shot on those pitches?

Do you know if there are overhead cameras in that stadium? Certainly if they have the ability to do so they would have done so...no reason why they wouldn't, I should think.

[Trademark]

This team us a joke and gonna have yet another 90 loss season

[The Operator]

As Operator said...they showed it on VM.

So now that that is addressed, your thoughts?

[North]

C ould be:drink: remembering wrong but I think they showed an overhead shot on Van Meter's check swing.

So...a Fox Sports conspiracy to not show a play...even though they and the Reds make money by showing the games? OK.... ;)

We all need to stop :alcohol: :D:

[kaldaniels]

So...a Fox Sports conspiracy to not show a play...even though they and the Reds make money by showing the games? OK.... ;)

No one said that.

But now that your doubts on an overhead shot have been refuted, what is your opinion on FSOH not showing it?

To be clear - your declaration that if they could have they would have done so...well that has been proven false.

[North]

No one said that.

But now that your doubts on an overhead shot have been refuted, what is your opinion on FSOH not showing it?.

Well I would be happy to give an opinion, but first I would like to know why you think they would stifle it in the first place? A fair question to you.

I doubt they're stifling anything.

It's quite possibly just negligence on the guys in the TV van.

[kaldaniels]

I would agree. Poor form.

[kaldaniels]

Strange take by North.

Incorrectly stating that if there was an overhead shot they would have shown it.

Then refusing to opine until I answered why they would stifle it. (No one accused them of that)

[North]

I have no idea which is why I asked. And you erroneously refuted such a possibility.

The "refutation" you speak of is from a poster who stated:

"Could be remembering wrong but I think they showed an overhead shot on Van Meter's check swing."


Let's stop this. :duel:. Tis' late! :beerme:

[cincinnati chili]

Bell allowed his excellent starter to go for a no-hitter.

I have no trouble with that.

There was no way he was going to get to a no-hitter unless Bell was going to go full Terry Collins and let him throw 140 pitches. But even assuming you're right, he left him in for ANOTHER BATTER after the no-hitter was lost. Definitely no excuse for that.

[Umkubas]

LOSS 79

[TheBigLebowski]

LOSS 79

Go CINCINNATI REDS BASEBALL

[Sea Ray]

Major wake-up call for Big C. Spend money this winter or eff off.

Let's start with Reds fans. Many here need a wake up call that this team is what its record says it is. I hear many hammering on and on about Pythag and one run losses...no! This is still a really bad team when it comes to winning baseball games

[texasdave]

SILVER LINING: After tonight's contest, the Reds play 12 consecutive games against teams with legitimate hopes of making the postseason. Yes, the Reds get to do what they have done 17 times in 20 years since the turn of the century, and that is play the role of spoilers. I have to admit though, sweeping the Cubs and helping to knock them out of wildcard contention would be awfully sweet.

[gagliano]

I have tickets to go to the game tomorrow night, but I had the chance to go tonight.

I'm already mad at myself.

do you guys with tix to these games live on the west coast?

[gagliano]

why pinch hit for a guy that just hit a HR?

because bell
