8-2-20 Reds @ Tigers Game 1-12:10pm

[Hollcat]

Overmanaged again. Desclafani cruising, only had 40 pitches through 4. Probably didn’t throw more than 25 in the 5th.

[reds77]

Noo!! Dropped fly ball.

[Ron Madden]

Damn!

[DocRed]

More gamesmanship by Gardenhire...

[Stray]

what was that??

[Reds Fanatic]

Ugh. Dropped fly ball. Tie game

[NebraskaRed]

Oh my god...

[Coopdaddy67]

That's why he gets taken off the fiend for defense. Why did he call it?!

[Red Raindog]

0-0 game without Castellanos today

[Reds Fanatic]

Doomed seas?on. I had to answer the door. Who dropped the ball?

Castellanos

[DocRed]

Awful...Senzel needs to call him off. I don't care who it is.

[ochoa30]

Senzel needs to learn to take charge but that’s on Cast 1000%. Just ridiculously pathetic attempt.

[NebraskaRed]

Castellanos felt like the rest of the Reds didn't deserve the 3 runs that he gave them.

[Coopdaddy67]

Overmanaged again. Desclafani cruising, only had 40 pitches through 4. Probably didn’t throw more than 25 in the 5th.

It was his first start of the season coming off an abbreviated ST and injury.

[Boston Red]

Senszel should not have capitulated to Castellanos on that ball!

Of course not. He's the centerfielder, and Castellanos is, well, not good at fielding.

[malcontent]

why isnt aquino i n the outfield inastead of pinch running
You know the reason. Castellanos can't DH, according to the guy in charge.

[mhs95_06]

Now maybe Castellanos will not take offense to be removed for PR or defense, but he'll probably take his opt out.

[Kc61]

Not on Bell. Not on Sims. That was third out.

[Bruce Berenyi]

bullpen strong and deep bench good van meter jankowski daVIDSON THE ENVY OF ALL TEAMS

[RedTeamGo!]

Lol can’t make this stuff up

[DocRed]

Welp Iggy 2 run HR coming up

I guess Nick should be a DH.

[adkindo]

[Coopdaddy67]

Agreed, especially when the RF is the weak link defensively.

Have to take control, even if you're young and haven't played much CF during your career.

[Rojo Rijo]

It was his first start of the season coming off an abbreviated ST and injury.

ZERO reason Disco shouldn’t have started the 6th. Bell’s a moron, stop trying to make excuses for him.

[Stray]

I give up

[Coopdaddy67]

Have you been paying attention to all the injured pitchers around baseball?

The idea that people are mad at Bell for acting cautious with a guy that was hurt AND didn't have chance to build up his arm is insane.

[Reds]

this is just insane. all of it.

[podgejeff_]

I repeat, Larry Vanover is absolutely terrible at his job.

[DocRed]

Good lord Vanover is on crack cocaine today...idiot never should have granted him the TO that close to the pitch. And then the moron doesn't even know the rules.

Don't know what's worse, that attempted catch by Castellanos or the umpire's attempt to hold that mask over his face while talking to the Detroit Head coach.

Dang, we might see a 7 inning game and a runner on second in extras today.

I think I did....but what I really wonder about is if it is free for anyone to visit/utilize?

[Reds]

i think if we go to the 8th inning they start with the runner on second.

that statement above could not have been imaged ten years ago

[757690]

So if this game is tied after 7, do teams start the 8th with a runner on second?

[wvreds]

We got Bell’d again

Bell should have told Cast to catch that ball and the rest of them to stop letting scrubs break strikeout records.

so this is essentially the extra inning advantage an inning early for us so let's get it done now

[CmdrCody]

In Senzel’s defense, he is an infielder. I know most on this board hated Billy Hamilton for his offense, and rightfully so, but I don’t know how many times since BH left I’ve said “Billy catches that”. Defense does win games also.
2 on no outs, let’s win this thing

[Bigg Red Smokey]

This was a 3-0 game. A hold and save situation in a shortened season with all of our “best arms” rested in the pen. This is a big game. We need a win.

Sims got an awful lot of rope. JMO.

Can't blame anybody for assuming Iglesias would give up a HR.

We don’t mind bad defense when we’re putting together the other parts of the team until we see it in action, then it’s soul-crushing.

[DocRed]

ugh Cast DP

[statmanwvu]

Who is up for Bauer coming in to close this one out then pick up the start in the next game? Not sure who I want to see pitch the bottom half.

[EnglishRed]

Or just buy Shogo the beer he owes him...

Better have AG and Strop warming up to start the inning..

My hope is that Iglesias returns to the mound, slams the door and the confidence boost puts him back on the right track for the rest of the season.

[Bunting Bad]

Sonny, go get loose in the pen. We need this win.

Can our bullpen get it done?

T-Bone was good, but Ribeyes are nice, too.

Yes, I think the Reds desire for good defense was compromised with the signings of Moose and Cast.

[DocRed]

This would be a devastating loss after all that...

[wvreds]

Is Larry Vanover our resident umpire now? I know they are probably being regional with the crews for COVID, but I think we have had him every series this year

So like almost every loss this season.

[mhs95_06]

Me either! Reds seem to be in complete upheaval as to who is the best choice of pitcher to bring into the game in just about every situation.

[podgejeff_]

Against Austin Romine, old Iggy shows back up.

[Kc61]

Iggy usually does better in save situations. He looks confident. So maybe . . . .

[JFLegal]

The next update, Tigers 5, Reds 4 will be right.

Road teams scoring 1 is not usually going to do the job in any off these situations and I think the minor league stats bear that out...

[Reds]

one thing is always true with iggy he's better when he's pitching for the save.

[CaiGuy]

It's not a save situation, its a 'W' situation.

It's not a save situation, its a 'W' situation.

One run win.

Galvis is not so bad as some think.

Seven inning game seems fair to me. But I’d prefer 14 holes in golf, frankly.

[Bunting Bad]

I vote Iglasias as our closer in all 7 inning games this season.

[JFLegal]

will there be a separate game thread for game 2? or are we keeping the party here?

[UPRedsFan]

I love the fight back in this one. Cast looks like a 7th grader in right field and gives the lead away. Instead of laying down and going to extras, the bottom of the order fights back and wins this game. They looked like champions in the 7th. Galvis and Barnhart aren't too shabby as 8-9 hitters.

[Bruce Berenyi]

yes lets bat van meter 4 winker 5 and davidson 3rd

[Reds]

breaking headline ill throw in here " Yoenis Cespedes opts out of season hours after Mets can’t find him "

[SomeCallMeTim]

Nope

I happily stand corrected. :-)

Considering the percentage of leadoff doubles that score, you almost feel as a road team that you need two or more, or you’ll just keep halving it like extra holes in golf.

[Rojo Rijo]

This is wrong. A base runner is not a run. Nobody else caused them to score. Not Bell. Not Sims.

Who put them on base???? I’ll wait....


The more I read this the more ridiculous it sounds. A base runner is not a run? What are you even trying to prove with that kind of statement. All I’m saying is you can’t blame all 3 runs solely on Castellanos because he damn sure didn’t put those three runners in position to score. A lot of y’all have just been salivating at the chance to criticize him for his poor defense because that’s the drum you choose to beat when he was signed. Nevermind the fact that he carried the offense today...again

Once a game hits the last inning tied, it’s essentially treated like an extra inning game strategy wise.
