[Alf_Red_E]

So is Joey actually ready or just here to see friends and family... color me suspicious

[Alf_Red_E]

Also, with the way the team has played of late, it's time to start looking at standings and the possibility of these games being somewhat relevant.

That said, today's game is the biggest game of the season.

[Tom Servo]

Matt Reynolds and Taylor Motter, wow.

[Ron Madden]

Matt Reynolds and Taylor Motter, wow.

Looks like we're at the bottom of the barrel roster wise for this series

[kaldaniels]

So Mahle is unvaxxed?

(Mahle, Drury, Kuenel, Almora all placed on restricted list)

[Ron Madden]

The Toronto lineup has been added to the original post

[CaiGuy]

Reds
7. Taylor Motter (R) 3B

Who?

[Old school 1983]

Who?

It doesn’t Motter.

[Kc61]

Not a ringing endorsement of Aquino. He’s with the team this weekend, but sits against the lefty.

Another lefty on Sunday, maybe he’ll play then.

Hopefully not.

Motterfu...

He hit 4 HR’s at Louisville with a 1.148 OPS. It seems his middle initials are also AA.

no man, no

[NebraskaRed]

Welcome back, Motter

Is what I'd say if I were at all familiar with his previous big league career.

The light from the biggest game of the season would take 10,000 years to touch todays Reds contest

they're just starting one guy?

;)

[RedTeamGo!]

Matt Reynolds and Taylor Motter, wow.

Not only that but Matt Reynolds batting leadoff :beerme:

Today's Trivia Question:

Three DIFFERENT Cincinnati Reds players have won The NL MVP Award in three consecutive years. Name'em

[mhs95_06]

Today's Trivia Question:

Three DIFFERENT Cincinnati Reds have won The NL MVP Award in consecutive years. Name'em

Robinson, Bench, Morgan?

[Ron Madden]

Robinson, Bench, Morgan?

I'm sorry I ment the question to say 3 Different players in 3 consecutive years

[westofyou]

Lombardi/Walters/McCormick

[klw]

I'm sorry I ment the question to say 3 Different players in 3 consecutive years

39/40/41?

[Ron Madden]

Lombardi/Walters/McCormick

We have a winner!
I'm sorry for messing the question up :bang:

[BCubb2003]

So is Joey actually ready or just here to see friends and family... color me suspicious

If Acadians are Cajuns then Canadians must Najuns.

[SomeCallMeTim]

So here is my pre-game analysis:

- Ryu starting for Jays
- LH junk baller
- 9.00 ERA

Reds shutout on 4 hits.

[westofyou]

39/40/41?

38-39-40

[Old school 1983]

I'm sorry I ment the question to say 3 Different players in 3 consecutive years

Morgan, Morgan, Foster. Or is it 3 different players?

[757690]

It’s camo night. I had no idea they were still doing that.

[Tom Servo]

Blue Jays lineup is a little more intimidating than the Pirates lineup, hopefully Luis is ready...

[KeefeCato]

I'm guessing the Reds have played in Toronto since Joey made the majors? Honestly I don't remember.
But will he get a nice hand be booed or no reaction?

[KeefeCato]

It is. But do they have hitters on IL? Bottom of their lineup isn't great like I thought it was. Tapia , Jansen and Zimmer doesn't strike fear.

Why would Canadia boo their native son?

Quebec, maybe but they’d boo anyone without a pretentious French accent.

[KeefeCato]

Your starting a team tomorrow. You get first pick. Who you taking? I take Soto over Vlad or Wander.

Sacre' merde

[KeefeCato]

No passport for Welch? Might be attending a graduation. Welch has a bunch of kids and grandchildren.

[757690]

A bad sign when one of your starting 9 is wearing #94

[Alf_Red_E]

Sacre' merde

My wife translated that for me

you have a dirty mouth

[Mitri]

The Reds found Taylor Motter by way of Wade Miley's beer league team.

whats a motter? you don't like beer leagues?

[Mitri]

Sloppy defense.

[Alf_Red_E]

still scoreless after 2

[KeefeCato]

Friedl is soo bad.

[Tom Servo]

Friedl is soo bad.
conversely Matt Reynolds is Actually Good??

Bad break with the ball bouncing out

Nope but he is little better than Friedl I guess?

Friedl is the anti-Freel. He needs to find his own personal Farney for motivation.

[757690]

The beginning of this season has caused us to have an altered understanding of “Actually Good.”

[757690]

If Castillo stays healthy, the rest of the season will at least by more fun to watch.

[KeefeCato]

Seriously why isn't Moran playing? I don't care that Ryu is left handed. Motter is beyond horrible.

Doubt he will be a Red after July.

2 out doubles can be so frustrating

[KeefeCato]

Should I obsessively hate Toronto like the guy here does Cleveland?
Come on Reds you can't loose to a Canadian team. USA USA ����.

I thought Canadian baseballs were orange so you could find them in the snow.

And they ran the bases clockwise

[Red Raindog]

What a freaking pitch by Luis for the K

He's getting traded real soon, my man.

one out doubles can be more so

Australia is an elaborate hoax.

castillo is so overrated. can't stay healthy. and has a 5 ERA. no bueno

[Tom Servo]

this is what I feared from the Toronto lineup and an un-sharp Castillo

[Mitri]

castillo is so overrated. can't stay healthy. and has a 5 ERA. no bueno

Nah. He's very good.

[JFLegal]

please just stay healthy luis so the reds can trick someone into trading for you

[Alf_Red_E]

You'll be the first to cry that we were robbed and ownership isn't committed to winning when he is traded... your schtick is old

ok troll boy.

can tell you're new to baseball via all of your terrible posts. do better.

[KeefeCato]

Oh no Castillo gave up 2 runs and is smiling. How dare he ever smile.

[Mitri]

Castillo's fatal flaw is always letting his emotions take control. He gets rattled quickly and forgets how to pitch.

He needs to remain cerebral for his type of arsenal to work.

[JFLegal]

when you have a fat pitcher on the mound, need to wear him out. reds are averaging about 11 pitches per inning. not good baseball at all

[Mitri]

Wow how does Luis not get that pitch, but Ryu does???

[JFLegal]

votto rips a double

[757690]

I am assuming that is Votto’s first MLB hit in Canada

[JFLegal]

farmer looks awful


meaning. looks hurt

[JFLegal]

reds have many doubles ... and no runs. i do not like that.

[membengal]

so 6 innings and 2 runs - that's a QS for Castillo. Not his fault the team can't score any runs in support.

[JFLegal]

what's up with the camo look? sending a message to canada?

;)

Exactly.

[JFLegal]

Yes! moose hit by pitch!

[JFLegal]

nice AB. let's go

[JFLegal]

how is alejo lopez anywhere near an MLB roster?

[Kc61]

how is alejo lopez anywhere near an MLB roster?

Maybe because RZ was begging for him last season.

He’s being “burned” for Colin Moran now.

[JFLegal]

lecure basically calling out bell

[Kc61]

Nice RBI by Reynolds, three hits tonight.

[membengal]

good lord, ump. what the what. the blue jays have to be pissed over that missed strike 3 call.

[JFLegal]

pham is turrible

- - - Updated - - -

hit it the other way joe

[JFLegal]

washed up

[Alf_Red_E]

Votto could have literally bunted for a double... why does he swing away?

[Kc61]

Warren did not walk the first batter. In fact, he struck him out. Nice.

[BCubb2003]

what's up with the camo look? sending a message to canada?

;)

Toronto should have worn Mountie hats.

[Kc61]

Nice play by Farmer to take the wide throw and get the tag on the steal.

Farmer’s has been playing nice defense of late.

[Mitri]

Almost everything you’ve posted tonight is completely wrong. Give it a rest.

[Tom Servo]

Jordan “Jason/Sal” Romano on for the save attempt

[Alf_Red_E]

Great play by Farmer

[kaldaniels]

Hmm I’d seen Romano’s pic on the MLB app and other places before.

I was expecting a short squatty bearded man.

[Tom Servo]

*watches Motter hit right into the shift*

It is BEYOND TIME to ban the shift

[Alf_Red_E]

no one I'd rather see up there than Naquin

[kaldaniels]

no one I'd rather see up there than Naquin

Imagine predicting you would speak those words 8 months ago.

[Kc61]

No joy in Mudville. Mighty Naquin has filed to center.

[Alf_Red_E]

which is worse lose 2-1

or lose 5 - 4?

[Tom Servo]

The Reds have fallen to the Blue Jays and we’re bad again

This is the worst day of my life.

[Kc61]

which is worse lose 2-1

or lose 5 - 4?

With the Reds’ team ERA, you’d rather lose 2-1.

[Alf_Red_E]

Imagine predicting you would speak those words 8 months ago.

You are ruining the moment

[kaldaniels]

Jordan “Jason/Sal” Romano on for the save attempt

We had 2 shots and couldn’t even land the right Romano.

[Jaysland Red]

Enjoyable evening at the Rogers Centre tonight apart from the loss, some bad defensive plays and lack of consistent hitting. Nice to see Motter get a hit after his error. Reds now 2-8 lifetime in Toronto....
