Wasn't sure if Ron was going to be able to start this.

[cumberlandreds]

Everyone must be watching cfb tonight. I am too the UK Florida game.

Didn't know Schrock could play 2b.

[Red Raindog]

Here I thought DeShields was a defense first CF

He is. He lost focus for a moment -- it happens. We don't like it when it happens; he doesn't like it when it happens. But no harm done, as Mahle picked up his teammate.

[cumberlandreds]

Reds lead 1-0 after two.

[Big Klu]

Schrock, Schrock, till you drop!

[Kc61]

I like DeShields as a fifth outfielder next year.

[cumberlandreds]

2-0 Reds after three.

Middle of the 4th 4-0 Reds. Suarez 2 run homer.

[Ky Fried Redleg]

Geno continues to hit well. Hope his confidence carries over to April. The Reds really need a better Gene Suarez.

[Bruce Berenyi]

I just know we will make the playoffs

[klw]

I made a comment earlier tonight that I guess went out over the air that I am deeply ashamed of, if I have hurt anyone out there, I can’t tell you how much I say from the bottom of my heart I’m so very, very sorry. I pride myself and think of myself as a man of faith, as there’s a drive into deep center field by Castellanos and that’ll be a home run and so that’ll make it a 5-0 ballgame.

[Tom Servo]

Suarez might have gotten his swing back.

[Big Klu]

Suarez might have gotten his swing back.

Batting average up to .198 now.

He’s either recently gotten healthy or someone removed his head from his derrière

Mahle getting hit hard in the fifth.

I was at a watch party for the UC vs ND game.
Was hoping for the lineups to be released before I left home but didn't happen.

[Ironman92]

Suarez lol…tagged the ump

[Big Klu]

Friedl and Schrock (the two left-handed batters) with the two best AB's vs. the lefty Howard.

[Coopdaddy67]

Been entirely focused on football since the Reds went up 5.

Tough way to finish the a good year by Mahle.

[WVRedsFan]

You know, it looks like the Pirates are there to win while the Reds just want the season to be over. I don't like what I'm seeing at all.

[Ron Madden]

I don't know but I don't think that shoulda been scored a triple.

[Big Klu]

3-yessiree-6!

[Ron Madden]

Nice double play 3-6

[Ironman92]

Great double play!

It’s crazy to me Votto can do those type plays but can’t stretch towards a thrown ball.

[Ky Fried Redleg]

UC beats ND ; UK beats FLA . Bengals over Jags on Thurs ; Come on Reds, finish off a great 72 hours!!!

[Ironman92]

Derrek Lee should make their list!

[Big Klu]

Derrek Lee should make their list!

Lee was "only" 6'5"! :D


Unless I'm overlooking someone, there have been only 13 players in MLB history who were 6'6" or taller, and had over 1000 plate appearances.

Dave Winfield (6'6") -- 12,358
Adam Dunn (6'6") -- 8328
Dave Kingman (6'6") -- 7429
Frank Howard (6'7") -- 7353
Darryl Strawberry (6'6") -- 6326
Richie Sexson (6'7") -- 5604
Giancarlo Stanton (6'6") -- 5563*
Tony Clark (6'8") -- 5120
Corey Hart (6'6") -- 4114
Aaron Judge (6'7") -- 2457*
Howie Schultz (6'6") -- 1699
John Mayberry, Jr. (6'6") -- 1519
Walt Bond (6'7") -- 1338

8-6 Bucs after 7.

[WVRedsFan]

Bernhardt does what he does. I just can’t figure out his popularity. Good guy, and I imagine he will be brought back, but why? Defense?

[Redsfan6272]

i doubt they do that for 7.5 million (what his option is for), with our future catcher already aboard.. I sign a backup for Tyler and use that 7 million for the bullpen!

[Redsfan6272]

so if they loose tonight AND tomorrow and finish 82-80, that is a 1 game over .500 improvement over last season.. at this rate it will be 8 more years before they hit 90 wins, at that pace

Bofe teams appear to be loosers

[cumberlandreds]

Last chance coming up for the Redlegs.

[Tom Servo]

Disappointing effort the last two days, this one in particular should have been a W.

[cumberlandreds]

That was easy. Could have been last game with rain expected in Pittsburgh tomorrow.

[WVRedsFan]

Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain.

[Bushman]

Damn shame what this team turned in to. The 3 pages on this BB is more effort than they deserve. Gutless team IMO.

[gagliano]

I just know we will make the playoffs

Eeeeyyoooooheeeeniioo will lead us there

Thanks for taking 160 games to figure it out. This whole season is on suarez, mr swing for the fences. If they bat him first sunday he might get his shameful .200 BA and maybe hit that 50th HR

[Ky Fried Redleg]

From August 20 through the end of the season, the series records for each of these two teams will end up this way: PITT : 7W / 4L / 2 S ; CINN : 1W / 11 L / 1S

I don't really know how to spin that into anything positive. It's clear that from mid August on, the Pirates were better than the Reds. Makes me very sad to say that. What's worse, in the games played between these two teams over the last month, the Pirates are the team that showed the most hustle, energy, and determination and seemed to want those games more.
