[757690]

Congratulations on Brian Goodwin on his first start as a Cincinnati Red.

[Strikes Out Looking]

Congratulations Johan Oviedo on your first major league complete game shutout victory.

[klw]

On the bright side, the game is virtually certain to go better than last night.

Yes, other than that, how was the play Mrs. Lincoln?

[Jomama]

Congratulations on Brian Goodwin on his first start as a Cincinnati Red.

You misspelled "condolences".

[davereds24]

Maybe we will get the chance to watch Goodwin’s superb base running again tonight.

[TexasRedsFan]

Other than Barnhardt yet again, I'm ok with this lineup. 8th seems like the right spot for Shogo until he gets more consistent.

[davereds24]

I think Shogo makes more sense in the 9 hole over Tucker in the rare case one of them reach base ahead of Votto.

[forfreelin04]

Other than Barnhardt yet again, I'm ok with this lineup. 8th seems like the right spot for Shogo until he gets more consistent.

I'm not surprised Casali isn't in the lineup. Dude took a heater flush on a cross up. I thought he broke his hand or wrist. Dude caught the rest of the game and was a bright spot at the plate. Quickly becoming one of my favorite Reds. He needs a nickname. Anyone with any ideas?

[Tom Servo]

I do think they'll score some runs tonight, Hudson and Kim were tough matchups. Now whether our starter can avoid being lit up for the 4th straight day, that is the real question...

[mhs95_06]

Other than Barnhardt yet again, I'm ok with this lineup. 8th seems like the right spot for Shogo until he gets more consistent.

Do you want your two slowest base runners nest to each other in the order, or split up? With Shogo 8th, neither Joey or Tucker will be ahead of him to slow his advance.

[mth123]

So, anyone surprised it's Goodwin in CF and Shogo in LF? I figured it to be the other way around.

[Kc61]

So, anyone surprised it's Goodwin in CF and Shogo in LF? I figured it to be the other way around.

Just was going to post the same thing. Shogo did look very good in LF earlier in the season.

I’d put AA in the lineup instead of Shogo. I don’t care about righty vs. lefty. The bottom line is AA might hit one over the fence and Shogo might hit one out of the infield.

I know they don't want to acknowledge that they blew $21MM on the guy, but my Magic 8-Ball says they're never gonna be this close to relevant again.

As such, it might behoove them to play someone who could possibly contribute. But that's just me.

[Ron Madden]

Listening to Tommy Thrall and Danny Graves call the game while watching on tv. Danny Graves has improved as a color analyst.

[NebraskaRed]

Nice first inning for Mahle.

[Bunting Bad]

Jim day can tell the difference between 6'5 and 6'6.

[NebraskaRed]

Jim day can tell the difference between 6'5 and 6'6.

That was a Thom-esque discussion of a player's size/appearance.

[NebraskaRed]

Miller takes Mahle deep.

1-0 Cardinals.

[JaxRed]

That ball was placed on a tee

[NebraskaRed]

Once again the Cardinals are refusing to swing at anything out of the zone.

[Kc61]

Mahle a fly ball pitcher, everything in the air.

Maybe can get away with it when he’s missing more bats. Not so far tonight.

Hope he settles in. Maybe over time will throw more ground balls.

[TexasRedsFan]

Haven't listened to a radio broadcast in a while and with Brantley doing tv the last three nights, I'm reminded of how annoying he can be. Seems to constantly fill the air with observations that he thinks are somehow super insightful, but are really rather obvious. I so prefer Welsh and his more laid back style.

[NebraskaRed]

Nice double by Geno

[Ron Madden]

Geno with a double

[NebraskaRed]

That was the wildest pitch I've seen in a while

[Ron Madden]

BB to Moose

juuust outside

[ZakkW]

Should be 3-0, horrible strike call

- - - Updated - - -

Total crap by the home plate umpire

[Stray]

Didn't throw him a strike that entire at bat

[Ron Madden]

Be nice if the ump would give Mahle that outside strike

[Stray]

This ump is awful

[NebraskaRed]

Yeah, large strike zone for the Cardinals not for the Reds.

[JaxRed]

It's the ump, Chris

[NebraskaRed]

Swinging at the pitch you want to see, not the pitch you're actually seeing.

[Reds]

Need shogo to come through here

[Ron Madden]

Shogo RBI Single!

[NebraskaRed]

Good job, Shogo!

[TexasRedsFan]

Need shogo to come through here

And he does!

[mhs95_06]

Shogo picks up the rookie and the transfer!

Shogo rescues the inning

[NebraskaRed]

Always extra enjoyable to steal a base off of Molina.

[JaxRed]

I was thinking "I'd steal" (Because of Barnhart)

[Kc61]

Hope Garcia isn’t overmatched. Have to give him time. Looks more comfortable defensively than at bat.

[Reds]

I'm still living in the past. Just had the thought well our catcher is up they'll probably walk him so they can face the pitcher and get out of the inning

[NebraskaRed]

Barnhart is basically the same as a pitcher coming up to bat, at this point.

[ZakkW]

Tucker Tucker Tucker

[Stray]

At least we cleared Tucker's spot in the order for next inning.

[RedTeamGo!]

Barn....fart noise




I’ll let myself out

[Reds]

Lol

[ochoa30]

So sick of watching umpires drastically alter games with awful calls. Nice hit for Shogo though!

[TexasRedsFan]

Tucker doing what Tucker do. DH is nullified when you send up a guy who hits as well as pitchers.

[Kc61]

I don’t blame the Reds for sticking with the catching duo this late in the season. The pitchers are used to them, etc.

But they need a change before next OD.

Nice inning for Mahle, even a couple of grounders.

[NebraskaRed]

Good quick inning for Mahle.

I do. Barnhart should have never been on this team. It was a failure to not replace him.

I find it quite easy to blame them for lots of things.

While I agree that’s why they haven’t done it. To me when the writing is on the wall you need to make a change. Heck, the padres who are actually winning just replaced both of there catchers at the deadline.

Sorry. I would make a change tomorrow.

[NebraskaRed]

This ump...

[ochoa30]

0 for 23 against the cards this year now for Castellanos

[TexasRedsFan]

This ump...

Yep. Reds up against 10 men tonight.

[NebraskaRed]

Exactly right. You can be stubborn and insist that you're right and the ump is wrong, but you'll still be out.

[Kc61]

My fear is Reds will keep Barnhart and trade Casali this coming winter. Lefty righty balance with Stephenson.

But we’ll see, Stephenson obviously needs to play.

[TexasRedsFan]

0 for 23 against the cards this year now for Castellanos

He's starting to give me Jay Bruce flashbacks. Seems to disappear for long stretches.

[ochoa30]

He's starting to give me Jay Bruce flashbacks. Seems to disappear for long stretches.

He’s been pretty bad since his hot start. I saw on Twitter that’s he’s batting like .180 over his last 80 or so AB’s. His hot streak lasted 50 AB’s.

[757690]

Starting the season with Barnhart and Casali platooning was the smart move, they both have a long history of being solid MLB catchers. But now is time to give Stephenson playing time to help him develop for next year.

[Ron Madden]

Around the horn DP

[NebraskaRed]

Nice double play and another quick inning for Mahle.

[NebraskaRed]

I think we were still in the first inning at this point last night.

[Kc61]

Starting the season with Barnhart and Casali platooning was the smart move, they both have a long history of being solid MLB catchers. But now is time to give Stephenson playing time to help him develop for next year.

If things continue as recently, Reds will make that move. I doubt they are ready yet. Let’s see if they survive the next road trip, which is questionable.

[Ron Madden]

Paul Sullivan
@PWSullivan
The Cubs are ‘loud and obnoxious’ — in Kris Bryant’s own words — but he says it works for them

[Kc61]

I assume Moustakas is not 100% healthy.

He’s a lot better than this usually.

[TexasRedsFan]

I had such high hopes for Moose when he drove in 4 on opening day. Such a disappointment since.

[NebraskaRed]

Mahle with a horrible pitch and it's 2-0 Cardinals.

[lnn6574]

If they ever do a Tyler Mahle bobblehead it has to go down and to the left.

That’s basically separates a #5 starter from a #1 starter. They both pitch well most of the time. The #5 just makes more turd pitches over the course of a game.

[Coopdaddy67]

My fear is Reds will keep Barnhart and trade Casali this coming winter. Lefty righty balance with Stephenson.

But we’ll see, Stephenson obviously needs to play.

I don't see any way they won't give up on Barnhart at the end of the year if this continues. Barnhart's 2020 OPS is 100 lower than Billy Hamilton's career OPS and it'll only cost $5 million to dump him.

[ochoa30]

Just hanging too many sliders. Gotta miss off the plate with those types of pitches.

[NebraskaRed]

Mahle with a horrible pitch and it's 2-0 Cardinals.

Of course it's actually 2-1 Cardinals.

[NebraskaRed]

Of course it's actually 2-1 Cardinals.

Of course it's actually 3-1 Cardinals now.

[Alabama Red]

If they think Stephenson is the long term solution at catcher I think you keep Casali as a backup and let TS hit against both righties and lefties. I don’t really see a need for TB.

[ochoa30]

Just good hitting that you rarely see the reds do. That’s the difference right there.

[TheBigLebowski]

Can they just collectively yell “uncle” and walk off the field?

[REDREAD]

Of course it's actually 3-1 Cardinals now.

Yea, I wasn't going to nitpick and correct you on 2-0 because the game thread is a ghost town anyhow..

[Mitri]

Horrible angle by Goodwin there. That should've been a single.

[Ron Madden]

Nice Grab Moose!!!

[NebraskaRed]

Moose saved a run there.

[ochoa30]

Nice play to keep it close

[REDREAD]

Nice, Moustakas makes a nice defensive play. Rare for the 2020 Reds.

[50YrRedsFan]

Reds in deep trouble now down 3-1, and can't touch Oviedo who has thrown all of 18 innings in mlb.

[Mitri]

Great play by Moose. I'm in love with the idea of moving him back to 3rd, though. Suarez just looks flat out there.

[texasdave]

My hopes for this team to still make the playoffs can be summed up thusly: 16489

[Kc61]

Should remove Mahle now, rather than face heart of the order third time through.

[Ron Madden]

Great play by Moose. I'm in love with the idea of moving him back to 3rd, though. Suarez just looks flat out there.

Geno made a couple good plays yesterday

[ochoa30]

Garcia overthinking. Just hunt the fastball kid.

[Mitri]

Geno made a couple good plays yesterday

I jumped into the game around the 2nd inning, looked at the score and closed my laptop. Good to hear. We need Geno back to form in 21.

[Coopdaddy67]

Tucker Barnhart hit a baseball hard.

You don't see that often.

[TexasRedsFan]

Tucker says take that RedZone haters! :laugh:

[Mitri]

Tucker needed that one.

[NebraskaRed]

Barnhart redeems himself (for now).

[ZakkW]

Tucker! Tucker! Tucker!

[REDREAD]

Barnhart laughs at all his RZ critics :lol:

[Ron Madden]

Well I'll be a ? Barnhart goes deep!

[TexasRedsFan]

Barnhart redeems himself (for now).

They'll probably give him a new extension tomorrow.

Atta boy Tucker. We all believed in you.

[NebraskaRed]

Genesis Cabrera warming up.

Exodus Cabrera has left the stadium.

[TexasRedsFan]

Atta boy Tucker. We all believed in you.

The reverse psychology worked.

I've been expecting one of those from him for a while. While he's never been a great hitter, he's also never been THIS bad. Unless he's done.

[ZakkW]

^Leviticus warming in the pen

[ochoa30]

Cabrera is tough. Hopefully Winker can get something and crush it.

[Kc61]

Three batter rule. If Winker can get on, Suarez has a righty/lefty advantage.

Nope.

[NebraskaRed]

Cabrera is tough. Hopefully Winker can get something and crush it.

Nope.

[Strikes Out Looking]

In the big inning, Cabrera shuts them down.

[WVRedsFan]

First pitch. Sometimes I wonder if this team recognizes the strike zone or they, with the exception of Votto are all guess hitters.

[WVRedsFan]

Not a Mahle fan. I don't expect the tie to last long.

Kudos to Mahle.

[NebraskaRed]

Mahle finally gets Miller.

[JaxRed]

Word starting to filter out that Tom Seaver has died

[NebraskaRed]

Pretty great inning for Mahle.

[Ron Madden]

Mahle looked good in the 6th

Seaver has been suffering from dementia for awhile now, so this may be a blessing. Still horrible sad news. He was one of my childhood hero’s. I tried so hard to make my knee dirty while pitching but never had the drive he did.

When everything was shut down earlier this year Fox Sports Ohio played Seaver’s 1977 no hitter with the audio synced up to Marty and Joe’s call. It was great to watch they should run that again

It's not a blessing. Took care of my Mom fulltime for the last 8 years and she had Alzheimer's the last 12. She died two months ago from a stroke she had while I was showering her, but earlier in the day she was still trying to read from a picture book of Minnesota she liked and we had some moments of love and kindness together even on the last day. If she got thrown into a care facility like most children do, then yes, it would be a blessing as those places, all of them, are horrible to the mental and physical health of those with Alzheimer's. They are chambers of horrors for them. Don't know if Seaver's children took care of him or threw him into a facility, but they said he passed away at home.

Seaver died from COVID. That was unnecessary.

I just found Seaver’s no hitter on YouTube :

Maybe if you swing at strikes you have a chance to get a hit. Not sure what theory Alan Zinter teaches, but it doesn't seem to be working.

[Kc61]

Really bummed about Seaver. But wow, the Reds really can’t hit.

[adkindo]

it is not a a ball if it has been called a strike all night

Hey Reds - when 95% of starting pitchers are too tough for you, there’s a problem.

Fortunately Goldy got under one. 3-3 to bottom of the 8th.

C'mon Reds, gotta win this one. Enough getting owned by the Cards.

It seems like "protecting the plate with 2 strikes" has gone out of style, at least in Cincinnati.

Lorenzen

Maybe pinch run a pitcher.........

[Strikes Out Looking]

Hitters striking out looking

Worst trend in baseball. Do they teach 5 year olds in t-ball to just stand next to the tee 4 times and then take first base? No. You gotta swing at anything close with 2 strikes.

The game is not out of hand. Try to win Bell instead of doing this tired novelty act.

And who is it? To no surprise, one of the worst over-all umps, Angel Hernandez.

[Alabama Red]

Winker is going to have to start swinging at those close pitches with two strikes and men on base. He’s in the 3 spot to hit.

[Reds Fanatic]

Huge K

Good job, Iggy

[Coopdaddy67]

Great job getting out of that.

[Ron Madden]

Hell Yeah Iggy!!!

[TexasRedsFan]

Iggy wiggles out of it! 3-3, bottom 9.

[Reds]

Iggy is better under pressure so he just had to put himself under some there lol

[Tom Servo]

Never doubted him for a second

[JarrodOnVinyl]

Let’s go Reds!!!

[Ironman92]

We’re going to win it here!

Maybe Garcia....maybe Casali, can’t decide

[mhs95_06]

Iggy didn't get the 3rd strike call on a pitch with perfect location, so he had to go high side gas to get the job done!

[Umkubas]

Let’s go Reds!!!

[Tom Servo]

Garcia looked overmatched against Gallegos, sadly.

[TexasRedsFan]

I would've ph Galvis there. Maybe same result, but Garcia not quite ready for these big time at bats.

[ochoa30]

Garcia looked overmatched against Gallegos, sadly.

Looking at his numbers he’s not the only one

[Ron Madden]

Good AB Shogo!

[TexasRedsFan]

Ump suddenly appears to be on our side.

[mhs95_06]

Got a break on the ball 4 call.

[Stray]

Nice game for Shogo. Maybe just having less pressure at the bottom of the order is best while he gets used to baseball over here.

[Alabama Red]

What was the point of bringing Garcia up? If we’re still trying to win and I guess we are since we traded on Monday why play him? Galvis is a better hitter than him today? If we’re trying to develop young guys in a playoff run why not bring up TS? It makes no sense.

[Tom Servo]

Looking at his numbers he’s not the only one
True, striking out to him isn't really anything to be ashamed of, but it just wasn't a competitive at-bat at all.

Shogo gets on.

The Reds are going all-STL with their approach here. Who are these guys???

I can only imagine what Brian Goodwin will be thinking when he lays down to sleep tonight.
“Man who hates me? I just jump from one flaming dumpster fire to another”

[Ron Madden]

BB to Casali

[WVRedsFan]

[TexasRedsFan]

[Ironman92]

No DP Joey

at least in the other dumpster fire, he was in SoCal which probably helped

[Umkubas]

Joey...CLUTCH!

[Alabama Red]

Good job Joey.

[Tom Servo]

Votto!!!

Needed that one! :beerme:

[Ron Madden]

Joey Votto!!!

[WVRedsFan]

He WALKED IT OFF!!!!

[Ironman92]

Haha we win

[Kingspoint]

Professional hitter.

[RedlegsFanatic]

Are we really supposed to get excited over a measly 4-3 walk off over the cards? After being completely EMBARRASSED by the rest of MLB past 3 weeks? lol

[BluegrassRedleg]

Always nice to beat those people. :beerme:

[JarrodOnVinyl]

No bench Votto!!!

[adkindo]

geez....we needed this just for the sake of maintaining sanity

[RedlegsFanatic]

True

[TexasRedsFan]

Joey comes through! Reds avoid a sweep. :beerme:

[TheBigLebowski]

This feels good...I think it’s called “winning.” We should do this more often

[REDREAD]

yay, we win.. good job Votto, he was aggressively trying to put the ball in play, instead of going for the walk. Good for him!

Thank you Joey Votto!!

YES....each night I lay my head down after a win is a better night than laying it down after a loss

[reds77]

So fun. Go Votto!
