As I posed in the transactions thread. Someone has to go for Naquin. Farmer or Garcia IL. I'm guessing Garcia. Otherwise they will have 3 active catchers.

[Ky Fried Redleg]

Above or below - number of hits off Scherzer => 5.5

[KeefeCato]

Naquin/ Almora platoon now? Guessing both will draw interest at trading deadline.

Will he go more than 5 innings? Just coming back so doubtful. Unless he has a low pitchcount.

A few more tidbits about July 4 and Reds' history that I didn't have time to share yesterday.

On July 4, 1979 , Juanquin Andujar and Ray Knight ignited some bench clearing fireworks at Riverfront . Andujar took exception to something Morgan said before the game and threw at Joe when he came to the plate. John McNamara told Reds' pitcher Bill Bonham to let Andujar know that "we're not gonna take that sh!t" and so Bonham buzzed one by Andujar's head. Knight and Andujar hurled insults across the diamond and it was on. Ray, who was never one to shy away from a good fight, got in a couple of blows to the face of Cesar Cedeno of the Astros. Ray and Joaquin were ejected from the game, which was won by Houston, who extended their lead in the NL West to 10 games.


On July 4, 1980 Nolan Ryan struck out the 3000th batter of his career at Riverfront Stadium. The batter that Ryan struck out for his 3000th K was the same player who was the victim of Bob Gibson's 3000th strikeout . Do you know who it was?


Did you know.... on July 4, 1989 Tom Browning came within 3 outs of becoming the first pitcher in the history of baseball to throw TWO perfect games. Anyone remember what Astros' batter ruined Browning quest for perfecto X 2 ?

Cesar Geronimo is the answer to your first question.

[cumberlandreds]

Good job by Lodolo to get out of that jam.

[chicoruiz]

I love reading the closed captioning on live events...

Instead of "hamate bone", which is what the announcer said, the captioning referred to "a broken handmade phone in his wrist".

Phillies on Browning not Astros. But this guy was a former Astro. Browning flirted with a no hitter another time. Gwynn broke it up. Browning said he had walked Gwynn twice and he wasn't going to walk him again. Had he walked him and gotten the no hitter. He said it wouldn't have felt like one with all the walks to Gwynn.

Cesar was my first favorite player as a kid. Bench was 2nd. Cesar I guess being 7 and left handed had a lo to do with it.
So I know pretty much every thing about Cesar. 1978 4th game of the season. I got to see Cesar hit the only HR he had with me being at the game. Mark Lemongello served it up. In 1977 I bought a broken bat of Cesar's at the 580 gift shop. In 2016 at a baseball card show at Moeller high school. I got him to sign the bat. We talked close to 10 minutes. Till the next person payed to get his autograph. His English is way better now than it was when Joe would interview him on the star of the game. My name would be Cesar Geronimo on here. But another Cesar fan got it first.

Max Scherzer's 0.33 ERA in 27.0 IP at GABP is the lowest by any pitcher with at least 15 IP at the park.

The only run that Scherzer has ever given up at GABP was off of back-to-back doubles from Joey Votto and Derek Dietrich on June 2, 2019. The Reds only had one other hit that day, an 8th inning Tucker Barnhart double.

6 of the 13 hits he's allowed at GABP have been doubles.

A few Reds have said this year that the focus shouldn't be wins and losses for the rookie starting pitchers. Internally, they're focusing on the flashes they show in their development.

A couple more trivia bits before I get to the Scoreboard Stumper.


There was another pitcher, a Yankee pitcher, that got his 3000th K on a 4th of July. He struck out Larry Parrish for #3000 on July 4, 1984 . Who was he? _____________


Back to Hank Aaron. Hank wanted to set the HR record in Atlanta. He felt he owed it to his hometown fans. He wanted to play the second game of the series in Cincy and sit out the other two . Bowie Kuhn said no. Kuhn said Hank had to play in at least two of the three games. Hank's first AB on Opening Day against Billingham resulted in #714. It was Aaron's only hit of the series. He got #715 off Dodger lefty Al Downing in the Braves' home opener. Remember the two kids who ran alongside Hank as he trotted towards third base? Those kids, Brett Gaston and Cliff Courtenay, are now 65 years old(if they're still living).

Anyone remember who caught Hank's #715 HR ball? ____________

Anyone know who gave up Hank's very last HR- #755 ??? ___________ Hint: He pitched three scoreless innings against the Reds in one of the best WS games ever played. Were it not for a great play, he could have been the losing pitcher in that game.

Need a lot of offence. 8 new relievers. Well 7 . I'll count Diaz as good even though he isn't proven.
Need at least two good veteran starting pitchers to go with Greene. Lodolo. Ashcraft. Dunn.
Then hope they all stay healthy cause they will not have depth. I'm not count on 4 good starts from Overton. 2 against Pittsburgh. But they will . They put SanMartin in the rotation to start the year based off two good games last year against Pittsburgh.
I wish I was as optimistic as you are. But this team needs 15 or more new better players on the 26 man roster to compete

Tom House caught number 715. On the first question I will go with Phil Niekro. No idea on the last one.

[Ironman92]

Scherzer is throwing so many pitches that the Reds aren’t expecting. Like they are guessing wrong on 75% of the pitches.

Nick Lodolo delivers one of the more meaningful starts of the Reds season.

He struck out eight in 4 2/3 innings. In his first game back from the IL, Lodolo showed why he's one of the players the Reds are building around.

Did you know about Foster supposedly not leaving the dugout in the Davis'Knight fight?
Shortly after he was released. He was already losing Playing time by that point in the season. That may have been the final straw him staying in the dugout. If true.
Foster would have been a possible Hall of famer. But his first full season starting wasn't till 76. He cam up 71 maybe? So he wasn't a spring chicken by 76.

Poor strategy by the Reds there.

Votto didn’t get a shot with men on base against the RHP.

Either you let Joey PH for the catcher. Or, if you get the bunt down, then Joey hits for the struggling India.

Instead they bunted to set up a struggling India. Just not good strategy.

It’s just 1 start and we know he’s on an innings limit.

Mahle is not. I see them skipping a start for him though. At least they’re building stamina.

Good catch by Pham

[Ron Madden]

Nice running catch Pham !!!

[JohnnyBench5]

Yes, at a bare minimum he needs to be in the bottom 3rd of the order. But I'd be fine with benching him for a while.Why stop there...just DFA the bastage...lol

I don't even want to contemplate Sadak's crack.

Not nearly as much as you, ya troll

[NebraskaRed]

Pham almost got decapitated

[RedTeamGo!]

Sadak is not remotely funny or interesting enough to be on any drugs

[NebraskaRed]

Leadoff double!

[Tony Cloninger]

Is it also a coincidence that the 4 worst pitching staffs ever played in parks like the Baker Bowl. It had a 299 foot Right field line. Colorado of course where Rod Carew would hit 400. Billy Hamilton would hit 20 triples. It’s not just a Homer stadium. It’s expansive and easy to just have hits fall in. And of course. The house that Whiffey built. Just kidding. I meant Griffey.

Pham Double !!!

Intentional walk to Naquin

[Ironman92]

Oppo wins it

[fondfoat]

Man, that was ball 4.

[Ron Madden]

That Was A Ball

[Tony Cloninger]

If Solano walks. PH for Moose. John Vukovich style.

[kaldaniels]

Human element fans are loving this.

[NebraskaRed]

Bases loaded

[Tom Servo]

time to win

[fondfoat]

I would bring in Votto for Moose here.

[durl]

Please, Moose. No GIDP.

[Ron Madden]

Good AB Solano bases loaded !!!

[Ironman92]

I feel teams always have INF too shallow here. Force out at home….should race through the plate or base to get there faster.

[NebraskaRed]

Moose!

[NC Reds]

Reds win!

[Tom Servo]

ah heck I'll say it for old times sake. We're good again! :beerme:

[NebraskaRed]

That was a fun game. In a season where the Reds aren't going anywhere, you gotta enjoy a game when you can.

[fondfoat]

I would bring in Votto for Moose here.

What do I know! Well done Mooooose.

[durl]

Reds win!!! A fly-out that I can handle.

[TheBigLebowski]

Alllllrighty

[Ron Madden]

Reds walk- off win !!!

[Tony Cloninger]

Great. Now they have to keep playing him.

[Ron Madden]

I thought it was a good, fun game too, kept thinking hold the Mets off the board then walk this baby off !!!

[Ky Fried Redleg]

Great. Now they have to keep playing him.

KY Fried, Knight did hold a grudge. Read Born to play. Eric Davis book.

[NebraskaRed]

What did Alonso want to challenge?

[Ron Madden]

What did Alonso want to challenge?

I think he thought that Pham left third base early on the sac fly

[Reds Freak]

With that win and the Nats loss, the Reds climb a percentage point ahead of Washington for 14th place in the NL race.

[Ron Madden]

That's two damn good teams the Reds have walked off in the last few days

[cumberlandreds]

Nice win to wake up to this morning. Who would have thought the Reds could win a 1-0 game with how their bullpen has been? We will take the win and small miracles. Go for a series win tonight.
