Votto's back!

Let's hope the next three days at Yankee Stadium are as good as the visit was in October of 1976.

[VR]

Best lineup of the year for the Reds. Imagine Solano in for Moose.

India
Naquin
Stephenson
Votto
Drury
Pham
Farmer
Moose
Senzel

is what I would do with those 9. Pham must have signed with a clause that said he had to bat 3rd. Just doesn't make sense with all the other bats.

[Ron Madden]

The Yankees lineup has been added to the original post

The Cincinnati Reds have their full-strength starting lineup for the first time since their first home game of the season.

Joey Votto is back in the lineup, and the Reds’ starting nine is at full strength.

[Strikes Out Looking]

I just don't understand how the Yankees have such a good record. That lineup seems all grip and rip to me, I guess playing half your games in GABP jr. helps.

It’s their pitching everyone on their staff is insanely good for some reason.

was listening to some NYC sports radio (because i'm crazy) and even yankee fans are saying things like "we're good, but nowhere near great. our record is only this good cause the AL sucks."

didn't even realize the AL sucked this year. i suppose the reds sweeping the rays should have been my first clue.

According to SRS the Yankees are easily the best team in MLB with a 2.1 and behind them are the Dodgers at 1.4 and Houston at 1.2. Every other team in under 1. Four of the Yankees 5 SP are out pitching their FIP by at least 0.4 so that could normalize for some regression.

The best hitting team in the majors is facing the worst pitching staff in the majors. :eek:

Well we finally get to see what our lineup was supposed to be all year.

[Ky Fried Redleg]

Votto's back!

I would have sacrificed all three of those wins against over the weekend against the Rays if it meant three W's against the Yanks in NY.

[KeefeCato]

Wonder if Pitching or hitting will be their top priority at the deadline?

[OldFashionedRed]

Hubby and I just got back from Boston on Sunday. While we were there on Friday the Red Sox got beat 12-5.

[OldFashionedRed]

Why is the game delayed? I can't watch it because we have to get up early in the morning for work.

[Rowsdower]

Anyone got an estimate on length of delay?

They're not the best hitting team, are they? I know they score the most and are like 5th in HR, but seems they're not in the top 10 in hits.

There has been a "severe thunderstorm watch" in Manhattan the last two hours but I have seen no rain.

[mhs95_06]

That's not a fair trade! Would you giver up the 3 home wins for 2-1 at the Yankee stadium, or even 1-2 at Yankee stadium?

[Ky Fried Redleg]

Friday night, we won a game on a rare "balk" off. I'll take a win any way we can get it. I would have even settled for a walk off catcher's interference. How rare is that? So rare, that it's happened only one time in history. How do I know it happened? Because I remember the game. It made me angry. Stay tuned on why the ending some 50+ years ago upset me so much in today's edition of THE REST OF THE STORY .

[NebraskaRed]

Think Votto would want to see some pitches in his first AB in 8 games? Guess not.

[Ky Fried Redleg]

That's not a fair trade! Would you giver up the 3 home wins for 2-1 at the Yankee stadium, or even 1-2 at Yankee stadium?

I know this is bad math and I HATE bad math but I think I would , at least in this season, give up the three home wins against the Rays for two wins in Yankee Stadium.

****THE REST OF THE STORY *****

The other night against the Rays when the Reds loaded the bases, I wouldn't have put any money on the outcome being a "balk off" win, seeing as that had happened less than a couple dozen times in history. For some odd reason , however, I did kinda think about a walk off catcher's interference(something we have benefited from a number of times this season). As rare as a walk off balk is, a walk off catcher's interference is rarer than rare. So rare, in fact, that it has only happened one time in the history of baseball. Not only do I know it happened once, I REMEMBER it happening. I was listening to the game when it happened and I was pissed for a week afterwards(as pissed as an eight-year old boy can be, anyways).

It happened on August 1, 1971 , only 19 days from the time I would attend my first ever Major League baseball game at RIverfront Stadium to see my beloved Cincinnati Reds play Pittsburgh. I had been saving up money for the 170 mile trip to Cincinnati for several weeks. I had saved $32 and change and kept it tucked away in one of my pawpaw's old King Edward Cigar boxes.

Now, back to August 1. It was Dodger Stadium. Final game of a three-game set with a NL West rival. The Dodgers were my most-hated team. Anytime they lost a game it brought a smile to my face. Unfortunately, they had won the first two games of this series and were looking for a sweep. The Dodgers started Bill Singer, who had pitched eight solid innings , giving up just a run on five hits. The Dodgers took a 3-1 lead into the ninth but Jim Brewer blew the save chance and the game proceeded to extra innings. The Dodgers gave up the lead in the top of the 11th on a solo homerun but in the bottom of the inning they would mount a rally, mostly on walks, errors, and a hit batsman. Here's how the game played out, along with one of the oddest endings in baseball history.

A pitcher by the name of Joe Gibbon came on in relief to try to nail down the win for the visitors in the bottom of the 11th. Two pinch hitters began the inning. Gibbon gave up a single to Joe Ferguson, then Wes Parker attempted to sacrifice Ferguson to second. Gibbon misplayed the bunt and threw late to first for an error. After a wild pitched moved both runners up, Maury Wills struck out for the first out of the inning. Gibbon then intentionally walked Manny Mota to set up the possible double play that would end the game. However, Gibbon hit Dodger RF Bill Buckner to force in the tying run. Dick Allen was up next and Gibbon got him to ground to the shortstop, who threw home to force out Parker at the plate.

With the bases still loaded and now two outs in the tie game, Willie Crawford was at the plate for the Dodgers. Gibbon was still on the mound. Either Manny Mota on third thought Gibbon wasn't paying enough attention to him or else Mota thought Crawford had little chance of getting a two-out hit because Mota took off for home plate as Gibbon winded up and delivered the pitch. The catcher, seeing Mota racing for home, pounced out in front of the plate to tag Mota. Just one problem, he left too soon and his catcher's mitt made contact with Crawford's bat. The home plate umpire ruled interference on the catcher, allowing Mota to score , and giving the Dodgers the bizarre 5-4 win , the only documented play in Major League history where a game ended as a result of catcher's interference.



Why was I so bent out of shape over this turn of events? Well, as you may have guessed by now Joe Gibbon was pitching for my Cincinnati Reds, the team I was looking forward to watching for the first time live in just three weeks. And the catcher who was responsible for the only walk off catcher's interference in the history of our great game? He went on to win ten Gold Gloves and appear in 14 All Star games and is considered by most baseball experts as the greatest all-around catcher in the history of the game.
.

The young catcher whose mitt made contact with Willie Crawford's bat that day in Los Angeles was none other than our very own Hall of Fame catcher, the great JOHNNY BENCH !!!!

And NOW you know..... THE REST ...OF THE STORY !!!!

[NebraskaRed]

Ashcraft Ks Stanton, so that's something

[NebraskaRed]

Ashcraft could have been battling some nerves there at first, but he calmed down

[TheBigLebowski]

Settled down nicely.

Still worried that a guy with his arsenal has such a hard time missing bats.

[0-2 Count]

Senzel hitting 9th is not because of 'length'. It's because Bell is clueless.

[KeefeCato]

Sadak no matter how much you try to sell the lineup as bring deep it is not deep.
Get Moose out and get Solano in and I might give it a not terrible tag. But definitely not deep.

[Mutaman]

The Yankees pregame guy mentioned that the Reds had played the Yankees in three World Series-1939, 1961 and 1976.Then he casually mentioned that the 39 Yankees were one of the greatest teams of all time.
I really don’t see the 39 Yankees comparing with the 61 Yankees (the M&M boys) or the Big Red Machine. He didn't mention that the 76 boys swept the Bombers.

[NebraskaRed]

If Moose were to go on and hit 8 home runs this year, his combined home run total for 2022, 21, and 20 would still be 9 short of his 2019 home run total.

[0-2 Count]

I'm just thankful Moose was not thrown out at 3rd.

[757690]

Sorry Cowboy, it was not Gallo’s arm that caused House to throw up the stop sign at 3rd. It was the fact that Moose was running.

[Tom Servo]

Brantley says Gallo's arm saved the Yankees a run there. I personally think it's because Moose was running and he's a big fat slow guy.

[mhs95_06]

You can't get a hitter out by missing his bat unless he already he already has 2 strikes! You CAN get a lot of outs with none or one strike by the bats mis-hitting the ball, and way more pitch efficiently.

Seriously, was there some sort of monkey's paw situation where the Reds wished they could sign Moose and they paw was like "oh you'll sign Moose, then his power will disappear"

Credit Yankees’ groundkeepers with a run there.

I think the Reds’ unis look great under the Yankee Stadium lights.

They are the “Reds” dammit!

[Mitri]

Crazy times: that Senzel play actually happened, and yet another guy walked off the field with an injury in the inning. Maybe his luck is actually turning.

[NebraskaRed]

Votto had a 3 hit game at the end of June, nothing after that.

[kaldaniels]

Is that bad?

I’ve already reserved my hotel room for the 10-year Anniversary Weekend of his 200th career home run in 2032.

Oh that’s cool i hope you get to see #201 that night!

[WildcatFan]

Ashcraft’s “wildness” appears to be his breaking balls moving too much. I’ll take that over the barrel of pitchers throwing 96 with blindfolds on.

[NebraskaRed]

When the Yankees finally trade for Castillo, maybe they'll throw in Gallo for the fun of it.

We can finally see Joey Gallo and Joey Votto hitting back to back in the lineup (neither of them get a hit).

When the small town guys enter the big arena for the championship game. They are in awe and the coach tries to diffuse that.

Not expecting a Hoosiers ending tonight, though one never knows.

India with a leadoff double

[redsfan9988]

Hey, nice effort from Ashcraft. He’s facing a massively expensive lineup full of future Hall of Famers who are almost certainly sign-stealing at Yankee Stadium… and he made it through a respectable five. Not bad for a rookie.

Ball was low and catcher pulled it all the way up near the top of the strikezone for strike 3.

NY apparently gets preferential treatment on the turnaround time on challenges. But the disappointing thing is there is no recourse, yet, on blown ball and strike calls.

[kaldaniels]

Letting Joey Gallo reach on an nubbed infield single is no way to live your life Hoffman.

[mhs95_06]

Joey's back must be still giving him some problems with soreness/stiffness, based on those motions he was doing during his last AB.

No, but I’ll play Zachery and Gullet for two of the wins.

[kaldaniels]

In can’t make this up.

The Dodgers were about to Dodger the Cardinals. They came back trailing from 6-1, it’s now 6-5.

They have the bases loaded. No outs.

Cardinals bring PACKY NAUGHTON into the game and he sets them down 1-2-3, no runs allowed.

You win universe.

Jack Billingham with a win probably and Catfish Hunter with a loss?

This a crazy….a 0.46 ERA in 38 appearances and he’s not even remotely close

Wendy coming in….he blew it the other day when I watched. Work him boys….don’t be first pitching a ball for force out at home then GIDP to end it

I was kinda like that. Saw some of the early game, then went to Netflix until the last few innings. Started to read while watching the game with the sound off, then saw the action in the ninth, was going good but I had to floss my teeth, so no reason to leave the sound off. Force at hone, force at home, oh well… then India comes through! Now I’m up celebrating. One win is already success in this series in the Bronx.

Great win for the Reds! I remember when they swept the unbeatable Astros in Cincy a few years ago, including a game against the great Garrett Cole in that series, too. But they actually gave him the loss, iirc. Two more to go..

I say yes. Let's pretend they are, anyway. lol

At least for the last 5 and a quarter days!

One of the keys to this game is that the Yankees had Ashcraft on the ropes and he hung in there- he did the same thing against the Mets last week

You’re hearing it more and more these days

Yes, because you can’t choose who you love but you can always choose to defend them under any ridiculous circumstance that arises

[cobike]

Nuts to that! I want a sweep!

With Minor going tomorrow? Dream on.

Reds were +335 before first pitch… that means the reds have a 23% chance to win… before a pitch is thrown… the. They were down 3-0 in the 9th.

To quote Leela:

“This is by a wide margin the least likely thing that has ever happened.”

If I were Bell, I would have challenged the first force out at home in the 9th. Looked to me like, in the only view I saw, that the ball was not under control in the catchers glove and was moving out as he was bringing the glove up for the transfer to his bare hand. Then it popped our for an instant and was quickly secured by the bare and and an incriminating tag was attempted late.

I don’t think it’s been pointed out yet, but Cole can’t win against the Reds. 1-8 career. Of course he dominated tonight, but they have his number!

Well if he had, he would have lost it thus he wouldn’t have had a challenge on the game-ending DP and the Yankees would have had another chance.

Reds winning tomorrow is much more probable than winning down 4-0 in the 9th against Holmes.
In any event i said what I wanted, I didn't predict it was going to happen.

[WVRedsFan]

With my schedule, I had duty tonight and couldn't watch. Bad storms her tonight, but i had DVR'd the game. In listening the game I thought, I'd just erase it but I got home n the 9th in the 9th innings, so I watched. This ownership tried to emasculate this team, but it's not to be. Of course they will try to do it again at the trade deadline, but tonight our kids came through. It was glorious on this night.

A lot of players on the Reds called it the best victory of the season. Since starting the season 3-22, Cincinnati has played respectable baseball, going 30-32 since then and riding a five-game winning streak.

If they were down 4-0, who knows if they'd won?

I think Aaron Boone did a horrible job managing the 9th. He left Holmes in there way too long. It was obvious to even a casual fan that he didn't have it. It was a no brainer to pull him

Win two more , and when reporters ask Joey V. , "You've just swept the Yankees at Yankee Stadium. What are you going to do next ? . " Joey can say, " I'm going to Space Mountain !!! "

[traderumor]

I gave up after the Reds hit in the 7th in favor of Christmas at Downton Abbey, only to have my wife report "the Reds are winning" "nuh uh." This has been a weird season.

Votto's back!

Let's hope the next three days at Yankee Stadium are as good as the visit was in October of 1976.

For at least one night it was 1976 all over again.
