[cumberlandreds]

Blandino must feel lousy. Batting behind two pitchers. :p Not a good look for Stanford baseball.

Trying to think of a reason to follow the game tonight but I think it will just be an early night.

[RedseatHR]

Is Tommy Thrall calling the game tonight?

[NebraskaRed]

Trying to think of a reason to follow the game tonight but I think it will just be an early night.

I can understand that feeling, but there are 3 Reds games left until next year. I'll watch at least part of each game.

[cumberlandreds]

Is Tommy Thrall calling the game tonight?

I would assume so.

[Ron Madden]

I can understand that feeling, but there are 3 Reds games left until next year. I'll watch at least part of each game.

I plan on watching all 3 games. I've been rooting for the Reds for as long as I can remember, I'm not gonna stop now.

[Ron Madden]

Reds score 2 runs in the top of the first

Tommy Thrall is calling the game on radio

Blandino is baseball smart enough to realize the value of not batting a light hitting pitcher in the 9th spot in the order.

[mhs95_06]

Tonight is Steve Blass' last game in the TV both. They said he's had over 60 years with the Pirates and today the Pittsburgh mayor declared it Steve Blass Day.

[Ron Madden]

Reds 2
Pirates 0

[CrosleyVet]

Let's hope this goofy Lorenzen experiment ends this weekend. I mean come on

[Ron Madden]

Blandino is the first 1Bman to bat 9TH in the order in a NL park since 1926

[Ron Madden]

Reds 2
Pirates 0
At the end of 2 innings

Same here. Bad Reds baseball is better than no Reds baseball.

Still

[North]

Disco gets the pop-up. :thumbup:

[Ron Madden]

Alonso has hit HR #52 tonight

[Ron Madden]

Lorensen is hitting like a pitcher

[Jomama]

Time to stop the Lorenzen experiment and the pitcher hitting 8th.

[Dat dude BP]

Blandino, is a utility player. I don’t think he will be an everyday starter.

Disco deserves a spot next yr. we need one more pitcher. I think malhe should be a long reliever for us

[Ron Madden]

Agree about DeSclafani, he's looking good

[ScotlandRed]

It’s almost like giving a pitcher ever day at bats isn’t going to go well.

[Ron Madden]

Reds 2
Pirates 0

At the end of 4 innings

[50YrRedsFan]

No Votto tonight. Did he retire? :D

[Dat dude BP]

I really want to see geno hit 50. I would love to see him hit 53 this year. If we didn’t have him signed he would signing a 100 million dollar contract this yr. thanks again Detroit

[North]

Well, there is the speedy Peraza. :p

[Ron Madden]

Blandino walks Peraza singles Blandino goes to third and Peraz a takes 2B on the throw. Ervin singles them both home

[Dat dude BP]

Nice job Irvin. We need to get disco win number 10. I hope bell lets him pitch more than 5 innings. We haven’t had a complete game all year

Come on suarez do it for yo mama

[50YrRedsFan]

I'm sure the Tigers are regretting that trade. They lost their 59th home game yesterday, matching the 1939 St. Louis Browns for the most in MLB history. Their final games are on the road, so they will have to settle for the tie.

[Dat dude BP]

I’m still weary of Aquino, I’m waiting to see next yr if he falls into a big slump

[The Operator]

Geno trying pretty hard for #50 in that at bat.

Guess I can't blame him.

- - - Updated - - -

Did not look like a swing there by Aquino

[Ron Madden]

Geno trying pretty hard for #50 in that at bat.

Guess I can't blame him.

He sure is struggling right now

[The Operator]

Pretty lazy defense tonoet Brault make it to second.


You can tell this is the final series between two teams playing out the string.

- - - Updated - - -

And just like that it's a 1 run game with nobody out in the 5th.


Damn

[Ron Madden]

Disco gives up a 3 run HR then strikes out 3 in a row to end the 5TH inning.

Reds 4
Pirates 3

[Strikes Out Looking]

If I was commissioner I'd fine the Reds for running out this lineup. What's next, Trevor Bauer hitting cleanup? Barnhart starting at pitcher and batting leadoff?

By the way, did the Reds trade Jessie Winker and not tell anyone? Whatever happened to him?

[WVRedsFan]

Unfortunately, this is pretty normal. Disco is prone to these sort of things in the 5th or 6th inning, but not always. Gotta beat this team!

[Dat dude BP]

The lorenzen project is not working. Dude is working on a golden sombrero tonight. I don’t mind him pinch hitting once in a while, but he needs to focus on pitching

[Ron Madden]

Bob Steve takes over for Disco with runners at 1st and 2nd and no outs in the bottom of the 6th.

[Roy Tucker]

Stephenson has nasty stuff. Just has to avoid the mistake pitch.

[RedseatHR]

One more weekend of Peraza

[Roy Tucker]

Bad and unnecessary throw by Peraza allows a run.

[Ron Madden]

Reds 4
Pirates 4
After 6 innings

[PuffyPig]

Tough blown save for Stephenson.

[Ron Madden]

Strike 3 on Aquino was a ball a foot off the plate

[DocRed]

This team is garbage

[Ron Madden]

Nice throw by Casali to nail the runner trying to steal 2nd

[Ron Madden]

Iglesias leads off the 8TH with a hit

- - - Updated - - -

Casali walks

[RedseatHR]

Lorenzen digs in going for four

[Redsfan6272]

I sure hope the front office does not sit back and wait to other teams get all thier needs, before making moves to improve the team going into 2020.

[Ron Madden]

RBI single for Lorenzen

[Redsfan6272]

Good job Lorenzen!

[Ron Madden]

Gotta hold'em now

[Ron Madden]

Reds 5
Pirates 4

After 8 innings

[Ron Madden]

Geno walks

[RedseatHR]

Really like hearing about Cowboys experiences roasting whole hog with his Latin friends

[Ron Madden]

Iglesias walks

[WVRedsFan]

Hate it for Tucker, but he isn't a pinch hitter.

[Ron Madden]

Barnhart strikes out to end the threat.

Gotta hood's now R. Iglesias

[Ron Madden]

Pirates lead the inning off with a hard hit single then moved to 2nd on a WP

- - - Updated - - -

There's one out!

[Ron Madden]

There's Two Outs!

[The Operator]

lol wow


Iggy didn't waste much time on that

[Jomama]

LOL...this team needs a major overhaul in 2020.

[WVRedsFan]

Great God. so many BS. And 12 losses. 18 losses by one man. That's just horrible.

[RedseatHR]

Ha! Of course. Reds lose

[ZakkW]

:mooner:

[Ron Madden]

There's A Two Run Bomb and Iglesias Blows Another Win

Pirates win 6-5

[adkindo]

as if it was going to end any other way.....

[Roy Tucker]

We got bad Raisel tonight. Too many hangers.

[ScotlandRed]

I predicted this in Reds vs Mets on 21/9 game. He’s been too good recently. Due a bad stretch. I’m really torn on him.

[The Operator]

Something's gotta give at the closer spot.

Reds have been catering to him a lot more about how they've used him and he's still coughing up ballgames.

[REDREAD]

hopefully Iglesis gets traded this winter..

[Dat dude BP]

Iglesias is the absolute worse pitcher in the world. He makes coco Cordero look like Marino Rivera. The guy sucks and I hope they put him as a reliever. He sucks as a closer. We have no chance with him there

- - - Updated - - -

I would take a used car for him. He’s terrible

[REDREAD]

By the way, did the Reds trade Jessie Winker and not tell anyone? Whatever happened to him?

Winker had some kind of season ending injury.. I forget the details.

[757690]

Raisel Iglesias will be effective as long as he is limited to strict save situations...

Oh, wait...

[Ron Madden]

When your Closer has 6 blown saves and 12 losses it just kills your season.

[WVRedsFan]

Time to move Iggy, Peraza, and Barnhart. And find some bullpen arms. And a better lineup than tonight.

[The Operator]

Oh, wait...

Raisel requires a 3-run lead. He was very clear in his demands. Shame on The Reds for not acting accordingly.

[texasdave]

Winker had some kind of season ending injury.. I forget the details.

Cervical neck strain? I think.

Can't believe anybody could think we're going to be in contention in 2020. We need something like 15 new players

[texasdave]

The Reds are now 5-12 against the woeful Pirates in 2019. That makes no sense at all.

[Tom Servo]

You could try to hide your excitement over this just a little bit.

[WVRedsFan]

The Reds are assured to finish in 4th place, but as awful as the Pirates, they could get within 2 because the lineup was a spring training lineup and I don't see the Reds as being that bad.5 straight games they've not performed against pitchers with horrible ERA's.

[Ron Madden]

I swear... I don't think you could do any worse going with a Closer by committee.

[HokieRed]

You could try to hide your excitement over this just a little bit.

I'd describe the way I feel about it as more like depressed.

[WVRedsFan]

I swear... I don't think you could do any worse going with a Coser by committee.

Agreed. Anything is preferable to this. Oh well. Get them tomorrow with Sims on the mound. I don't expect much.

[Jomama]

You could try to hide your excitement over this just a little bit.

A realistic assessment gets smacked down again...yawn.

[Jomama]

I'd describe the way I feel about it as more like depressed.

Ignore him. He conflates being realistic about this mediocre team with rooting against them. Without a major overhaul next year we can expect more mediocrity.

[WVRedsFan]

The Reds stand at 73-87. if Iglesias had done his usual job, they would be 91-69 and probably make the playoffs Think about that.

Could be said about a few folks. plenty of blame to go around. This is not a playoff team.

[QUOTE=Dat dude BP;4023240] He makes coco Cordero look like Marino Rivera.

I recall KoKo being pretty decent. The numbers seem to bear that out. Hear he contributed a lot to the Cincy community off the field as well. Not sure why a few here like to take pot shots at him.

I remember him, playing for poor teams as decent, if his saves were pretty dramatic. He was 18-18 for the reds with 150 saves. Blown saves are not recorded, but, He always had about 40 wins between wins and saves. This year, Iggy has only partipated in 32 wins and 11 losses with not a great but decent team. Time for him to go away.

[Redsfan6272]

Mahle and Iglaseis together are 5 wins and 24 losses!!! They both need replaced in my opinion. Need accountability and not more excuses why they keep helping the team loose

[SomeCallMeTim]

The Reds are now 5-12 against the woeful Pirates in 2019. That makes no sense at all.

Sorry, I’m an IT guy. So logic says:

IF (PIRATES = “woeful” AND PIRATES > REDS head to head)

THEN

REDS < “woeful”.

Crystal clear to me.

[InsaneinthBrame]

People keep talking about replacing Iglesias. But honestly how many better closers are there in the mlb?. Go look at the other closers in the league and you will see others have very similar save percentages as Iglesias. 6 blown saves like he has is normal. For reference Chapman has 5 this year.

[Umkubas]

LOSS 87

[texasdave]

I am calling this one. Suarez gets at least one home run today. James Marvel - Who? - is pitching for the Pirates. Marvel, in limited action, has been averaging 90.5 on his fastball. Suarez is salivating at the prospect of facing him.
