[Ironman92]

Those that hadn’t seen much of Leake the last time should have his number now.

Could see a 7-1 type lead after 3 innings

[Ron Madden]

After being swept in the 4 game series by the Mets the D'backs will be fighting to stay alive in the wildcard race.

[DocRed]

I'd like to see both O'grady and Lorenzen platoon CF the rest of the way out.

[Ron Madden]

Joey Votto has produced a .423/.531/.654 slash line over his last eight games and is 11-for-26 against tonight's D-backs starter, former teammate Mike Leake.

Luis Castillo tonight could become the first 15-game winner for the Reds since 2014. Saturday vs. Arizona, he whiffed 10 D-backs and allowed just 2 ER over 7.2 IP. He is 2nd in the NL (behind Sonny Gray) allowing just 6.58 hits per 9.0 IP.

[Tom Servo]

Geno just misses #46, a triple instead.

[Kc61]

At GABP this game would already be 2-1 DBacks.

[Tom Servo]

5 pitch second inning for Leake...

[North]

Nice snag by Iggy.

[North]

Joey!

[Tom Servo]

Votto! :jump:

[Ironman92]

Leake can’t get out lefties.

[ScotlandRed]

Votto finishing the season pretty hot.

[RedseatHR]

This is a ton of wishful thinking on my part but I really want to believe that the tinkering he did during the season was in anticipation of Father Time knocking on the door. Maybe looking at adjustments that could benefit him as an older player. I don’t know. Just hoping he has some more in the tank next year

[Tom Servo]

Arizona gets 1 back on a few two out singles, 2-1 Redlegs after 4.

[Ironman92]

How was that timeout granted? Lol

[RedseatHR]

JVM ! 2 run shot

[North]

Bam!

[RedseatHR]

Couple hits for Joey.

[RedseatHR]

Boy Aquino really played that shallow and still hauled it in

[Ron Madden]

Nice running catch by Aquino!

[InsaneinthBrame]

Interesting idea of playing Aquino in Center

[North]

Interesting idea of playing Aquino in Center

Very interesting idea.

[The Operator]

Seems like every hit against Castillo has been with two strikes.

His ability to put guys away has really taken a hit.

[Ron Madden]

Sweet Play by Iglesias!!!

[RedseatHR]

Defense came up really big in that inning for Luis. Aquino with two big play and Iglesias to finish it off

[Redsfan6272]

Watching Aquino's last AB, he looks like he is off on his mechanics and striding a bit to far in his swing. Like flayling (sp) a bit in his swing

[Ron Madden]

Nice play Galvis!

[RedseatHR]

That left center alley really has some carry. Joeys HR and that SF from Ahmed both seemed to travel further than it seemed off the bat

[North]

Seems like every hit against Castillo has been with two strikes.

His ability to put guys away has really taken a hit.

It sure has. The pitching coach *might* want to order the young man to be a tad more aggressive, get that batter away from crowding the plate or whatever ( ;)).

[Big Klu]

Just got home from Football Friday Night.

[WVRedsFan]

I don't like one run leads, although I like leads. That means Iggy, and just like Co Co, you never whst's going to happen. Fingers crossed.

[adkindo]

nice outing by Lorenzen

[WVRedsFan]

By the way, seeing Bauer cheer Lorenzen makes my heart sing,

[Tom Servo]

I don't like one run leads, although I like leads. That means Iggy, and just like Co Co, you never whst's going to happen. Fingers crossed.
He's especially iffy on the road too. Fingers indeed crossed, some insurance here would be nice.

[Umkubas]

Winner Winner chicken dinner

[WrongVerb]

Aquino starting to pull a Dietrich.

Scout I sat next to on Thursday in Seattle says teams are getting Aquino on high spin rate pitches, including tight sliders and curves. There are adjustments to be made. Hopefully Aquino is up for the challenge. (I suspect working with Votto will help in that regard.)
