[KeefeCato]

Better score a bunch in this one.

[Flyer Guy]

Why does Minor strt for the Reds and not the Louisville Bats?

[TNRED]

Why does Minor strt for the Reds and not the Louisville Bats?

Because he is the fifth best pitcher?

OTD 1973:
One strike from falling 12 games back of LA, 3rd string catcher Hal King hits game-winner.
Reds go 60-20 rest of way to win NL West.

Al Michaels/Joe Nuxhall with the dramatic call.

I was there. One of the best days of my life.

I wasn't there but I was at my grandparents' house listening. I went nuts!!! Totally changed the course of the season.

Thanks for posting that call, Ron. I can remember precisely where I was in my grandparents' house when I was listening to that ninth inning. The old house is gone now but the memories of hearing those great calls by Al, Marty, and Joe and celebrating with my papaw remain as vivid as ever.

I was underneath the stadium lining up to go onto the field for banner day. We all went nuts when King hit that homer.

I have forgotten about Banner Day

[Ky Fried Redleg]

Who will be our Hal King tonight that will set us on course for a 60-20 stretch?

[SomeCallMeTim]

I have forgotten about Banner Day

You know they say you shouldn’t live in the past, but the way this franchise has devolved into a mere shadow of its former self makes us all yearn for the days when winning mattered.

I still listen to random games back in the seventies with Marty and Joe on the call. I know, that's sad.

News flash
Minor still is lousy

I've come to dread games started by Mike Minor. :(

[Ron Madden]

Braves 2
Reds 0
after the first inning

[Rantly]

lol at the Braves OPS numbers in their starting lineup compared to the Reds! With Fried going against Minor, prospect of long night ahead probable. Hope the fireworks are good for those assembled at the park tonight at least.

I think we should just go ahead and release everyone with initials M M .

Once again, Reds get shafted on a trade

[krm1580]

I think every 5th day they should have a “pull a random guy out of the crowd to pitch” day. They could not do much worse and it has to be more entertaining than watching Mike Minor throw batting practice every start

Could have a promo in which we choose one inning to have our hurler throw actual grapefruits instead of the colloquialism we’ve invented out of necessity.

Instead of running the bases, our guys will travel the bases via segway.

Mike Minor Night, which is a promo that gives fans the experience of sitting in the RF stands during a Mikey Minor outing. After the 8th inning, with fans already good and liquored up, the grounds crew runs on the field with pitching machines, pelting the fans until they begin to leave or succumb to their injuries.

Let’s make it fun.

[Ron Madden]

When Albert Almora Jr. leads the team in RBI for the month of June it's a pretty good indication the Reds had a bad month.

Maybe the Louisville Bats could pitch one batter each. If it becomes a 3-ball count, bring in the next Louisville Bat to pitch ;)

[Red Raindog]

Olson is in shock he missed the ball

Everytime he gives up a hit, have the fireworks go off :laugh:

Know this one too. Don’t want to spoil it too early for everyone else. I will say this player became a broadcaster with a long career.

[Ron Madden]

Nick Senzel now has 12 hits in his last 24 ABs

[mth123]

If he can get a hit next time, he'll push his OPS over .600. Huge disappointment,

[Tom Servo]

Pham doing a nice job improving his trade value

[Ron Madden]

RBI Single for Pham !!!

[757690]

Pham cuts the lead in half with an opposite single, driving in Senzel

[Ron Madden]

Braves 2
Reds 1
end of the 3rd

[Ron Madden]

Braves still lead 2-1 after 4 innings

[Ron Madden]

Minor seems to have settled down, he's actually been effective the last 4 innings

[Ky Fried Redleg]

[Coopdaddy67]

They should trade him to the Giants.

[RedTeamGo!]

Pham doing a nice job improving his trade value

He might fetch a solid organizational top 10 prospect. They need to trade him this week.

[Ron Madden]

Still 2-1 Braves after 5 innings

[malcontent]

Just saw the Riley HR. I didn't think a LHP could throw that bad a changeup if he tried. I was upbeat with the Minor signing, but I figured he had a decent arsenal, including a respectable changeup. It's like he's not finishing it. Don't know if that relates to the shoulder issue or not.

[Ron Madden]

Braves 2
Reds 1

end of the 6th

[Ron Madden]

Not a bad game at all from Minor

Has to be Uecker.

[Fil3232]

Kuhnel is not good.

[Coopdaddy67]

Welp.

[cumberlandreds]

Kuehnel doing his Minor impression.

[CrosleyVet]

Kuhnel is not good.

Can we please make him go away

[Ron Madden]

Kuhnel gives up a 3 run bomb to Swanson. 5-1 Braves

[cumberlandreds]

I still listen to random games back in the seventies with Marty and Joe on the call. I know, that's sad.

I do too. I think its great to still hear those games.

[coryfly]

He is no good but not sure who is outside of Diaz. The entire pen is pretty awful.

[durl]

The last 4 games for Kuhnel have been atrocious. 11 runs allowed in 4 innings over 4 games.

[WVRedsFan]

Pitching or no pitching really is the Reds downfall, a downfall that shows poor judgment and stingy. That is all.

[malcontent]

I had some hope, considering his decent MiLB numbers (low walk and HR rates). But his control/command has been spotty.

[Ron Madden]

Braves lead 5-1 after 7 innings

[Sassy Sal]

I wonder if the Reds are advertising ticket sales in opponent markets. It seems like the best strategy to put butts in the seats at this point.

[WVRedsFan]

Obviously. They are all over Twitter, Facebook with ads for tickets. "Come and see your team win at GABP." Just kidding.

[Coopdaddy67]

At least I hear rain for the first time in weeks, so it's not all bad right now.

[Sassy Sal]

Rooting for rain also.

[Ron Madden]

We've had a lot of rain in Cincinnati in June
with some pretty strong thunder storms

[Ky Fried Redleg]

Has to be Uecker.

No, but I have a Uecker one for you.

Man. What is with Sadak's obsession with facial hair??

[Ron Madden]

Johnny Carson once asked Uecker how do you catch a knuckle ball? Uecker said I wait for it to stop rolling then I go pick it up.

I will guess Tim McCarver

Heading to the 9th

[Ron Madden]

I'll say Joe Garagiola

[Redsfan6272]

I've come to dread games started by Mike Minor. :(

Front office has to justify this trade by making him be in the rotation Knowing any smart person does NOT take back him for Garrett!!

[Ron Madden]

To be fair he did end up pitching a pretty good game

[cumberlandreds]

I feel a 9 run inning coming. :)

[WVRedsFan]

Man. What is with Sadak's obsession with facial hair??

John Sadak makes me tired.

[Redsfan6272]

sounds like Atlanta North by the fans there.. ugh

[LeatherPants]

I feel a 9 run inning coming. :)

That’s gas you’re feeling.

[Ron Madden]

Final Score
Braves 9
Reds 1

[malcontent]

John Sadak makes me tired.
I'm afraid the Reds will stick with him forever, like the Wave, the Woo, and Queen songs.

[cumberlandreds]

That’s gas you’re feeling.

Yes it was. Bad gas too. Boy this team is really bad.

[Redsfan6272]

i think i rather see the Dayton Dragons play at GABP than watch this mess

[Ky Fried Redleg]

Can we please make him go away

[Ron Madden]

My Son and I were planning on going to the game tomorrow.

I guess we're still going, don't know

[Redsfan6272]

if i owned a bar or restaurant and the Reds front office people came in i tell them to leave!!

[Ky Fried Redleg]

I feel a 9 run inning coming. :)

We need a Hal King moment . Is it Banner Day?

[Ky Fried Redleg]

My Son and I were planning on going to the game tomorrow.

I guess we're still going, don't know

Get us our Hal King moment tomorrow. We need 60 of our next 80.

[Ky Fried Redleg]

Ron, you brought home 20 runs last time. I'll settle for a measley 10 tomorrow.

[Ron Madden]

That was fun but I doubt it ever happens again
