“Pham said the dispute was over fantasy football and a text that Pederson sent that disrespected his Padres teammates. Pham said he called Pederson out on the text immediately afterward.“

It seems Joe left out a key part.

Depends on who you believe

who's Joe?

[NebraskaRed]

Former Cincinnati Red Alex Wood is coming off his worst start of the year. 3 innings, 8 hits, 5 earned runs, 2 walks

[traderumor]

Reds are 12-7 since the 3-23 start. Whoda thunk it?

[Ky Fried Redleg]

I've never liked Joc or his hair. The slap has been a long time coming.

[cumberlandreds]

Good to see Ty Steve batting third. Going to have to have offense today with Vlad going. I hope the bullpen is ready. Going need a bunch of them to be good to win this one.

[NebraskaRed]

In 7 starts this year, Gutierrez has made it thru 4 innings but failed to complete the 5th inning: 4.1, 4, 4.2, 4, 4.1, 4.2, 4.

Will today be the day?

[traderumor]

which will be uglier, Vlad's line or 4-5 innings of Alex Wood's windup?

[KeefeCato]

I've never liked Joc or his hair. The slap has been a long time coming.

Pham has thrown baseballs at fans. Stabbed at a strip club. Who knows what else. I can't wait for the Reds to end Phams joke of a revenge tour. The jokes on the Reds signing and batting him 3rd.

Double and near HR fly out. Vlad off to a roaring start. Bell please don't let the game get completely out of hand before you take him out. Got plenty of relievers and a off day Monday.

[TheBigLebowski]

Was feeling cute so I dropped 5 large on the under for this game (10).

[NebraskaRed]

Pretty excellent K to end the inning

[KeefeCato]

Nice back to back Ks to keep the Giants off the board. I still think Bell should have a quick trigger today.

[TheBigLebowski]

Nice job Vlad

[HokieRed]

4-seamer up to 96,4, That's about the best I've seen from Vlad.

[NebraskaRed]

Senzel almost had a leadoff homer there. Just short.

[NebraskaRed]

Farmer!

Farm dog! :jump:

Could have gone much worse; get that one back and a few more would do nicely

[NebraskaRed]

Granny is the best part of the game, so far

Easily.

I'm ok with her being hired as a bench coach at this point.

[NebraskaRed]

Votto can't figure Wood out

[podgejeff_]

Vlad seems to be missing a lot of his spots but getting away with it. I wonder if Stephenson knows that, he called for the fastball right down broadway after setting up Casali with high fastballs and then trying to fool him with the low curve.

And it ends up being a nice lower outside corner fastball for no damage.

[NebraskaRed]

Granny > Larkin

[redsfan9988]

Granny sums up the season… “Dammit!”

I’m sad they cut her off. I want her in the booth…

[Red Raindog]

Granny > Larkin

That’s my first thought too

I still think somebody should let Aquino try pitching.

The son of a gun did it

[TheBigLebowski]

No Vlad complaints today.

[traderumor]

so far a rare series for the Giants at GABP, they have been raking here the last few years.

[NebraskaRed]

3-2

[Ky Fried Redleg]

*** KFR SCOREBOARD STUMPER***

Since 1990, there have been three players that have had 20 or more homeruns in a season for BOTH the Reds and the Giants.

These three players combined to hit more than 500 homeruns for the Reds and Giants in their careers.

Can you name all three???

[cumberlandreds]

Granny > Larkin

Who is granny? I am watching Giants telecast.

[NebraskaRed]

4th straight appearance in which Cessa has given up at least 1 run

Farmer's grandmother. She was fantastic.

[Red Raindog]

This version of Cessa needs to cease and desist this act.

I think Reggie Sanders played for the Giants at some point?

Rich Aurilia?

[traderumor]

Time for a Reds rally, offense disappeared after Farmer's blast.

[NebraskaRed]

Cessa has given up 6 runs in his last 3.1 innings pitched

[Ky Fried Redleg]

I may have stumped you all with last night's stumper but not tonight !!!

Answer:

1. Kevin Mitchell

2, Rich Aurilia

3. Reggie Sanders

[cumberlandreds]

Need some more runs. Three ain't enough.

I’d say Kevin Mitchell, Reggie Sanders, and Ed Bailey.

[KeefeCato]

No Vlad complaints today.

He smoked and mirrored his way though 5. I'll give him that. Hope he never starts another game. But once they unload Castillo. Mahle I know he will. Aug and Sept could be as bad as April was.

With the other guys we have slotted for the rotation I think Vlad is destined for the multi-inning reliever role.

[cumberlandreds]

Jolene singles and the Giants change pitchers.

[Ky Fried Redleg]

I’d say Kevin Mitchell, Reggie Sanders, and Ed Bailey.

Bailey certainly had the 20 or more HR's for each team but well before 1990. Aurilia did it sometime in the mid 2000's for the Reds and the Giants before that.

Ah poo. Would help if I read the question.

I texted a couple very long time Reds fans and they both said Bailey so I threw him in there.

[NebraskaRed]

Aquino and Senzel collided but Aquino somehow still made the catch

[podgejeff_]

Get Senzel out of the outfield. Dude is going to die out there.

[NebraskaRed]

I hope Senzel isn't hurt but there's no way he isn't

[Wonderful Monds]

RIP Nick Senzel

[traderumor]

Dang Aquino could have broke his arm easily there.

[Alf_Red_E]

"Trying to get in there and get out as fast as I can, keep the pitch count down and try to keep [the Giants’ score] at zero," Ashcraft said. "If I can go out there and just get ground balls all the time instead of punching tickets, I’ll take that all the time. Strikeouts are great and everything, but so is having a low pitch count and going longer in the game."

Was Mahle listening?

[NebraskaRed]

Get Jake Fraley on the phone

[podgejeff_]

Well Diaz has been a wonderful surprise this season so far.

[Roy Tucker]

Senzel’s arm is laying on the RF grass.

[icehole3]

Ambulance waiting for Senzel.

[ZakkW]

Senzel scraped his elbow in the collision, expect a 6 week IL visit

[Coopdaddy67]

Lucky Senzel didn't die running into Aquino.

It seems like the Reds have way too many issues like that in the OF. I'm just going to assume Senzel was calling it, so get the hell out of his way.

[podgejeff_]

Diaz is nasty.

[NebraskaRed]

Senzel coming in off the field after that collision

[cumberlandreds]

Senzel’s arm is laying on the RF grass.

I think part of his groin was barking from the way he was rubbing.

[NebraskaRed]

Aquino is back to being his old self at the plate

[podgejeff_]

I was a bit surprised that he got a diet of fastballs.

[cumberlandreds]

3-2 Reds after 7.

[cumberlandreds]

Detwiler in for the 8th.

[Gainesville Red]

Detwiler in for the 8th.

I guess we don't have the luxury of a "real" setup guy/closer situation, but I feel a little leery about this being how Detwiler gets broken in.

(But also, it's working. Go Reds.)

[Ron Madden]

He's not missing by much

[podgejeff_]

I think that was a K.

[KeefeCato]

I think that was a K.

It was and inning should have been over. Hopefully it doesn't bite them.

[Ron Madden]

The strike zone should never change from pitch to pitch

[podgejeff_]

The strike zone should never change from pitch to pitch

If only there was some kind of technology to keep a consistent strike zone...

[Tadasimha]

There ya go, Tony! Stay warm and get the 9th too!

[podgejeff_]

Could really use some insurance here.

[podgejeff_]

Did that really get called as a strike?

[Ron Madden]

Did that really get called as a strike?

The same location that Detwiler had called a ball instead of strike 3

[Bourgeois Zee]

We need robo umps desperately.

[podgejeff_]

Yeah this guy should be an automatic steal.

[icehole3]

Is Senzel afraid to steal for fear that he may end up on the IL?

[Ron Madden]

Ya can't hit it any better

[podgejeff_]

There's some of the ol' Redleg Luck.

[cumberlandreds]

On to the 9th.

[Ron Madden]

Is Senzel afraid to steal for fear that he may end up on the IL?

Maybe he doesn't have the green light

[podgejeff_]

Medical Mutual play is right. Glad Aquino still has an arm and Senzel is still able to breathe.

[Tadasimha]

Roll two, Tony

[Ron Madden]

There's One Out!

[KeefeCato]

Never easy.

[Tadasimha]

Try it now!

[podgejeff_]

Stephenson's new mask paying dividends already.

There's Two Outs!!

Nice K Tony.

Do it again.

[KeefeCato]

One more and they win the series.

If they got a hit. I was hoping for a hard hit to RF.

[WVRedsFan]

Well, that was special! REDS WIN!!!!

[traderumor]

what a throw and catch, love the shot of Joey cheering when he saw the throw.

[TexasRedsFan]

What a game. Even though Aquino's plate appearances are often horrific to watch, his defense shows why he's worth having around.

[Ky Fried Redleg]

Put #44 on the mound!!! The guy has a Howitzer and an accurate one at that!!!!

[podgejeff_]

Aquino had him by a mile.

Seriously, see if he can pitch. His arm is something.

[Alf_Red_E]

Well, that was special! REDS WIN!!!!

3 games behind Pittsburgh and counting

[Ky Fried Redleg]

Reds’ current defensive OF is one area of improvement.

Pham, Almora, Senzel and Aquino are all good defenders. It shows up in games.

It will be two to both the Cubs and Pirates if they both lose tonight. 2.5 as it stands now. Also, 13-8 since the 3-22 start. Little things people. Little things.

All day long, the Giants didn't run on Aristides Aquino.

When they did, they lost.

Reds win, extend their streak to 4, claim series against the Giants

From my vantage point on the first base side, it looked like breaking balls that weren't near the waist were being called balls. Lots of questionable calls, especially later in the game.
