Glad to see TySteve back. Our ace is going tonight. So this should be a win. :)

The Guardians lineup has been added to the original post

[Tom Servo]

Glad to see Stephenson back in there. I'm pretty over the Friedl at leadoff experiment though, there's no reason he should be getting more PAs than Naquin.

[cumberlandreds]

Just can't get used to Guardians. When I hear that name I think insurance.

Friedl looks overmatched to me. I'd rather see Almora in there everyday until something better comes along.

Why such an early start time? Cleveland have a 10 PM curfew or something?

Agree. Just don’t know what anyone sees in him offensively. And lets keep putting him in the leadoff spot. At least Naquin gives a chance to run into one and should be getting a 4th or 5th AB.

I'd say bump him down to 8th or 9th, then just push everyone else up a spot. At the very least that gives Stephenson the chance to get a possible extra at-bat. Personally, I think Stephenson should be hitting 2nd or 3rd at this point.

Don’t mind him bunting there. Worked the other day. If he’s a really good hunter and his job is to get on first, count shouldn’t matter.

[Tom Servo]

I don’t really get the struggles with name changes, the new name is everywhere. The ones I struggle with are more like the Chargers or Raiders leaving their cities for different west coast locations, I still want to say San Diego or Oakland.

I think Lopez goes down when Votto returns. Then Friedl goes down when the next guy, maybe Senzel, comes back.

[Ron Madden]

Him and Lopez both can go away

[traderumor]

Hmmmm, watching Aquino strike out or Friedel make outs putting the ball in play? Better than a sharp stick in the eye I suppose.

[Kc61]

Think Lopez goes down first because Reds are short of outfielders. But TJ is in the wings.

[Kc61]

Anyone who misses Wade Miley, you now have Connor Overton. Ground ball, ground ball, ground ball.

[JFLegal]

overton getting the job done again

[VR]

Mahle laughing at poor Overton for not having any strikeouts yet through the 5th. Also wondering why he isn't being pulled, and then realized he's at 63 pitches through 5. Would love for him to make the connection.

[Reds Freak]

It's pretty shocking that the Reds middle IF depth at the MLB and AAA level are guys they picked up off the scrap heap after the season started. I know India, Solano, Shrock, and Barrero are out, but it's too bad they don't have even a middling prospect in the upper minors to give a look to instead of a guy like Reynolds.

Colt 45s and Morgan. ?

Reds got ‘em on

[klw]

Why is it not a sac fly if the runner only advances between 1st and 2nd or 2nd and 3rd but it is if they go 3rd to home? Sac bunts are sac bunts regardless of what base advancement occurs.

If Greene can throw 118 Sunday, surely you let Overton get up there too if he's still effective.

Not the Colt .45s but The player that broke up the no no is tied to Morgan other than being teammates on the BRM. :)

I am enjoying this pitch to contact/minimizing pitch count thingy that Jack Billingham is doing.

If I were a rules interpreter, its all about intent.

You’d never intentionally hit a fly ball to advance a runner, but you would to score a run. If you hit it to the warning track and it was caught, you were trying for an xbh, not a sac fly.

[Reds Freak]

Moran's constant lumbering around cost the Reds an out. Show a little urgency every now and then, Colin.

[757690]

Connor Overton missed the pitcher fielding drills in spring training.

[durl]

Overton lacked urgency on that play at 1B. Cost him an out.

Looked more like Overton not leading with the correct foot.

For Santillan sucking? For better or worse this pitching staff was designed with him to be a major piece, he's been a disappointment.

Santillan hadn’t pitched in a week. Last time out he wasn’t effective against the Brewers.

Unusual choice for that spot. I guess he has to learn sometime.

[NebraskaRed]

Well, let's get that run back. And maybe 5 or 6 more.

I am as anti-Bell as they come but not sure how that is on him at all. Who does he have to bring in that has consistently pitched well in a hold situation? That really wasn't that bad anyway. Weak grounder that got through and then an easy little pop up.

[InsaneinthBrame]

Diaz has been good because he has gotten regular work. Santillan and Warren have been messed because of lack of usage. There is no way to stay sharp with the long rests they have gotten. I blame Johnson he is so over rated as a pitching coach. It is not like relievers throw sides like starters do because they have assume they are pitching everyday. We have too many pitchers is the pen

100 percent on the front office but Warren feels like a JJ Hoover type situation. He seemed like the absolute last choice there and Bell rolls with him. And he will continue to roll with him and say he will do it again and again when so far it seems in clutch situations he chokes. But someone else probably would have blown it anyway. I would have personally gone with Tony for another inning but I know most would say that's dumb (and it very well may be, lol).

[Rantly]

So I’ve been following along with the game thread and espn mlb site sitting on the front porch with dog and beer on a gorgeous evening and decided to go in and watch the win on TV, literally the first pitch I saw was the tying homer...been that kind of a season.

[JCM11]

Diaz is indeed the superior option but like I said earlier, this team was constructed with Santillan and Warren pencilled in as late innings guys. That’s on the front office.

Hoffman, Diaz, and Cessa are all better options than Warren right now. Just because a 29 year old with 26 major league innings under his belt prior to 2022 was penciled in by knuckleheads that doesn't mean Bell can't adjust and use better pitchers with the game on the line.

With a runner starting on second for the Guardians, it’s almost assured they will score at least one with this Reds pen. Reds needed to score at least 2 there.

[durl]

I hope the next Reds pitcher gets that 6" outside strike call, too.

With Tribe starting with man on 2nd, I see at least more extras or loss. Reds needed at least another with bases loaded and one out

[podgejeff_]

Diaz is filthy.

[Ky Fried Redleg]

Yes he was but he's not the hitter that broke up Maloney's no no on Opening Day.

Here's 2 hints

Hint #1 the player that broke up Maloney's bid for a no-hitter on Opening Day 1965 later went on to play with The Big Red Machine

Hint # 2 the player that broke up Maloney's no no was also teammates with Joe Morgan before either of them came to the Reds




I'll go with my grandma's favorite BRM player--- Cesar Geronimo. He was an Astro.

[JCM11]

This game keeps getting crazier. Don't think I've ever seen a wild pitch go into the dugout.

[NebraskaRed]

That ball was tired and wanted to go home

[VR]

Was Warren’s BS (double entendre) in the 9th the Reds first this year?

Why you hef to be maddd?

But seriously, I stopped being mad 2 weeks ago. At this point I just laugh.

Yeah, “mad” isn’t really accurate. Agitated? Weirdly amused? I don’t know.

The W/L doesn’t matter, but I did hate seeing Overton miss out on a well-deserved W.

[RollyInRaleigh]

I think the players he is calling on in highly leveraged situations are failing to perform when he calls on them.

Then you must not have been watching long enough...

Great job getting Ramirez out with the bases loaded. That was a growth moment for Diaz in the clutch.

[traderumor]

he carved up Ramirez

Good win.

[NebraskaRed]

That was fun

[durl]

I can't believe the Reds pulled that out. Wow.

Mad way to end it, but I liked it. Too much drama. But, REDS WIN!,,,

Good example of Tyler Stephenson's leadership behind the plate in the 10th inning as he helped Alexis Diaz navigate his first career save. Coached him through those last few at-bats.

Trivia Question:

We all know that Jim Maloney no-hit the Cubs in 1965.

Maloney just missed throwing one on Opening Day of that year.

What team was it? and who was the hitter that broke up the no-hitter?

Answer coming after tonight's game

Hint #1 the player that broke up Maloney's bid for a no-hitter on Opening Day 1965 later went on to play with The Big Red Machine

Hint # 2 the player that broke up Maloney's no no was also teammates with Joe Morgan before either of them came to the Reds

Answer

On Opening Day, April 19,1965 Maloney held the Milwaukee Braves hitless for seven frames before yielding a leadoff single to Denis Menke to start the eighth, and settled for his third career one-hitter.

[HokieRed]

Great to see us get that one. Irritating that the W goes to Warren.

On Opening Day, April 19, Maloney held the Milwaukee Braves hitless for seven frames before yielding a leadoff single to Denis Menke to start the eighth, and settled for his third career one-hitter.Now I remember. One of the few games I watched on WSAZ back then. Black and white.

Tough question, I think someone got Menke but not who he played for.

[Ron Madden]

Also, I skipped school.

When I was in elementary school the teachers used to wheel out a TV on Opening Day. We loved it!

[Tony Cloninger]

Hoffman, Diaz, and Cessa are all better options than Warren right now. Just because a 29 year old with 26 major league innings under his belt prior to 2022 was penciled in by knuckleheads that doesn't mean Bell can't adjust and use better pitchers with the game on the line.


Great point. He takes forever to adjust. It’s been a month now and neither of these guys are Borbon and Carroll or even Scott Service and Jerry Spradlin. Use others in these situations. Or reduce your pitching staff so then you can use them more if they are rusty.

[Ron Madden]

Yeah that was probably a little bit too tough for some younger fans

@CharlieG__

Tommy Pham and Mike Moustakas didn’t go for the game-changing go-ahead homer. Their willingness to take a walk in extras got the Reds a 5-4 win.

Our teachers sucked in that regard. We didn't get to watch Pete Rose. The best we got was Mr Freaking Rodgers.

I ran home from school like hell so as to not miss much of the afternoon playoff games.

[Ky Fried Redleg]

You folks had some nice teachers. Ours sucked. I can only imagine what would have happened if I had been caught with my transistor tuned in to a Reds' game.

[Ky Fried Redleg]

Menke makes sense on that trivia question. No way "The Chief "would have been playing for the 'Stros in '65.

UH HA HA HA HA HA
After tomorrow you can stop watching again till next season. Last Ohio cup game is tomorrow.
The four most important games of the season. At least according to you.

[Redsfan6272]

Time for Warren and his 18.00 ERA to be sent to AAA!!!

[WVRedsFan]

Back then, they’d show the World Series in the gym, but opening day was a holiday at our house. It was usually on Huntington’s WSAZ. Dad would either skip work or work in town where he could check the score. Most of the time it was by radio.

[mhs95_06]

We went to the auditorium when we watched TV at school. Went there for opening day, Reds vs. Yankees world series in 1961, and rocket launch for Allan Shepard, John Glenn, and attempts to hit the moon. We went there thinking we were going to see USA hit the moon more than once, only to be disappointed with a miss. What'd we do, missed it like 3 times before we hit it and I remember a big cheer went up when we did hit the moon! I don't recall any cheers in the Yankee dominated world series though. I recall that we watched Allen Shepard on a May morning and by happenstance had an afternoon field trip planned to the local newspaper, where we each got a copy of the newspaper fresh off the press with the headline and pictures. I was so disappointed when I got home and my 3.5 year old sister got ahold of it and ripped up the front page! And before Glenn there was Gus Grissom on the 2nd brief space spot before the Glenn orbit, and when Gus hit the ocean, he got a little excited to get out and opened the hatch prematurely and the helicopters couldn't keep the capsule from sinking. Eventually Armstrong walked on the moon in my summer between high school and college and I got to see it on TV while working the night shift.

It might have seemed like a miss to you as a child, but only Apollo 13 was a successful failure to get to the moon. The Mercury program got us into space, straight up and down. The Gemini project had 2 astronauts who circled the globe; testing bigger boosters and technologies needed to go to the moon. The Apollo project used titan boosters that went to the moon, with flights that orbited the moon and testing docking and undocking the lunar landing module. Apollo 11 (in 1969) was the first manned moon landing (there were no misses leading up to that).

I got it but I am old.

[cumberlandreds]

The Diaz brothers had saves on the same day. First time that has happened since 1997 with the Worrel brothers.


https://www.mlb.com/news/edwin-alexis-diaz-record-saves-same-day

[KeefeCato]

Hopefully the next time a save situation comes up Diaz gets the chance. I gotta admit I never expected Warren to be dominant but I expected him to be a solid reliever. He may still be but not off to a good start.
That is the problem though. We have a guy who strings together a good month last year and we automatically elevate him despite limited bug league time. Shows you just how bad this pen is.

I, of course, remember Menke in his short tenure as a Red in the early seventies. He was not much of a hitter as a Red, from what I remember. I'd say he batted less than .225 in his time with the Reds.
