[Kc61]

Right handed lineup v the lefty, except for Votto.

From this point on, each Castillo outing could be his final one as a Red, assuming he gets traded by the deadline.

[KeefeCato]

Got a chance to win the series. Love to see Luis throw a shutout.
Cortes hasn't been as dominant of late as he was early. Though still very good.

[cumberlandreds]

Just saw this is the free game of the day on MLBTV.

This should be a good pitchers duel. But we know how that goes and it will be a 9-8 game. Anyway a win tonight could be the highlight of 2022 which would be a series win at Yankee Stadium.

[Ky Fried Redleg]

Got a chance to win the series. Love to see Luis throw a shutout.
Cortes hasn't been as dominant of late as he was early. Though still very good.

Last night was an exciting game but a real bummer ending. We should have won that game. What was essentially a 5-run error by India cost us the game. If he makes that play in the third we win that one.

[Ky Fried Redleg]

For those who might have missed the story about the walk off catcher's interference I posted the the other day, I'll repost it. When I get a chance(maybe this weekend), I have one of the craziest baseball stories you have ever heard, or ever will here. It goes back to my childhood, and yes it involves the Dodgers and Dodger Stadium again. (I hated the Dodgers so much back then) I'm really interested if any of you who are around my age remember it.

[Ky Fried Redleg]

****THE REST OF THE STORY ***** (Repost from a few days ago)

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 !!!!

[cumberlandreds]

I'm sure I knew about that back then but was probably too young to know what catchers interference was. :)


Here's the box score from that game. It has what happened in the 9th in play by play section.

I really hope Luis shows well tonight. A dominant performance tonight exponentially increases his trade value.

This is an ugly side of baseball, IMO. We're hoping that guys, who should be helping OUR guys to championship, "show well" so they can go help OTHER guys to championships. It's one of the things that I love about Joey Votto.

[757690]

Reds placed Mike Moustakas on the COVID-related IL. Max Schrock called up from Triple-A.

[Ironman92]

Last night’s loss really bummed me. A bad loss.

The defense needs to step it up and make the plays tonight!

It's definitely a bummer. Felling same way now as I did when I knew Cueto was being traded.
Yes Votto might be my favorite Red ever. Some complain about his contract. Votto more than earned his contract. Not his fault the owner didn't put a team on the field during Votto's prime years. Except for 2012. That was really the only legitimate team with a shot to win a world series.

Really inexcusable.

[KeefeCato]

Carpenter has a bad arm too.

It's almost as if coaches don't even deliver a scouting report to players Either that or they ignore it.
Anyone who has followed the Reds for any length of time know Carpenter has NO ARM.
Fans know but apparently the players don't.

[Ironman92]

Carpenter has a bad arm too.

My 25 arm meant on the scouting scale of 80

Seems crazy Carpenter ever gets anything outside of DH

[Reds Fanatic]

Leadoff walk to LeMahieu that was a strike

[Reds Fanatic]

Rizzo flies out to the track in right

[KeefeCato]

Drury. Farmer , India and Votto has to be the worst infield defense in baseball.
Votto seriously might be the best defender of the group. India has range but his glove is not good.
Farmer and Drury are basically statues with no range.

[Reds Fanatic]

When the umps wonder why they will be replaced by robot calls this crew is why

[KeefeCato]

Judge is so big

I might be wrong but I just don't see him aging well. I see a lot of injuries in his future. He will get the largest contract ever signed this offseason by some large market team.

[Reds Fanatic]

Big K of Stanton

[Ironman92]

I might be wrong but I just don't see him aging well. I see a lot of injuries in his future. He will get the largest contract ever signed this offseason by some large market team.

Well he’s going to make $500,000,000 playing the game.

Winfield was a monster and played forever.

[KeefeCato]

The horrible call for the walk and the failed DP turn by Drury forced a few more pitches by Castillo. They add up.
Little things separate outcomes of close games. The winning teams make plays. The losers fail to make.

[cumberlandreds]

I might be wrong but I just don't see him aging well. I see a lot of injuries in his future. He will get the largest contract ever signed this offseason by some large market team.

Yankees aren't going to let him get away.

[Ron Madden]

This is from reds.com

July 14: 2B/3B Mike Moustakas placed on IL; OF/2B Max Schrock recalled
This marks the fourth time Moustakas has been placed on the IL this season. He also spent time on the 10-day IL in April because of a right biceps injury, then spent a day on the IL in May and a week on the IL in June. Schrock, recalled from Triple-A Louisville, is making his second appearance with the Reds this season. During his first stint, he was 4-for-24 (.167) with one RBI.

[KeefeCato]

Well he’s going to make $500,000,000 playing the game.

Winfield was a monster and played forever.

Ugh Winfield. I am a huge Ohio state hater. But I've despised Winfield ever since I saw him sucker punch the Ohio st basketball player
Mr. May Winfield. Did nothing in postseason.

I couldn't blame him these umps deserve a good cussin' out ;)

[KeefeCato]

Speaking of Covid. Ron, are you felling better. I hope?
I have a rare disease and can't take the Vac. I've been lucky. I eat vitamins like candy and so far so good for me. Luckily I've never smoked in my life so I should have good lungs.

2nd K for Castillo

[Ironman92]

Drury. Farmer , India and Votto has to be the worst infield defense in baseball.
Votto seriously might be the best defender of the group. India has range but his glove is not good.
Farmer and Drury are basically statues with no range.

It’s just bad. Votto is the worst I’ve ever seen at stretching towards the throw to maximize quickness of ball getting there on close plays. He’s been a good scooper over the years. His going after balls right to the 2nd baseman for the last 8-10 years ����*♂️

Reds aren’t winning the infield 4x100 race

[Reds Fanatic]

Quick inning. 0-0 after 2

[KeefeCato]

Carpenter makes the catch crashing into the wall

Carpenter makes me sick. Look how bulked up he is. I highly doubt it just from lifting. He must have went to the Pujlos school of lifting.

[JCM11]

Great inning for Castillo in the second.

[cumberlandreds]

Easy peasy for Castillo in the 2nd.

Do you think Votto would have stayed with the Reds w/o the long term deal? I don’t know about that.

I don’t fault players for seeking the best opportunity. I blame the MLB and the MLBPA for the inequities between teams.

[Reds Fanatic]

As I mentioned the other day, if Joey hits a buck thirty the rest of his career here he gets a pass from me. He's done plenty for this organization, which has, for the most part, failed to put enough pieces around him to win a title.

Yankee fan tells me it's to see if Carpenter can play out there down the stretch to replace Gallo.

I guess when you're as far up in the standings as the Yankees you can experiment, but the idea of expecting 36-year-old career infielder Carpenter to handle right field strikes me as silly.

[Reds Fanatic]

Quick 1-2-3 6th for the Reds

I communicate sometimes with the former singer of a band (one that would be instantly recognizeable by those around my age) that was huge back in the seventies and eighties. Anyway, she was let go by the band a few months ago when she became sick with Covid. She has said she has a condition that makes her unable to get the vaccine. She never elaborated. I was curious what kind of illnesses make the vaccine a no-no. I figured it was more of an unwillingness on her part to get Vaxxed but from what you say maybe there are pre-existing conditions that make a vaine dangerous. Sorry, I haven't researched it.

[Ironman92]

I can't even pronounce it. I was nearly crippled as a young boy. At the time there were less than 10 known cases in the world. Long story short I got better. Haven't had a problem since. Was advised against taking most Vax. Not just Covid. Rare but a Vax could cripple me. So I shouldn't say I can't take it. But it's a risk. But it's also a risk not taking.

[RedTeamGo!]

Yankees fans are about to start having “don’t let Castillo leave the Bronx” trending on Twitter right now. Not even joking.

[Ron Madden]

Let's score some runs in support of Castillo

[Ky Fried Redleg]

He has a point. Most young people today don't know how to write in cursive; the only thing many of them learn is their name. So their handwriting skills are poor.

As a teacher, I see it all the time. Back in the day, cursive writing was taught in school. Not anymore. By the time I see them in college, most of them write like doctors.

India just looks clunky out there. Wasn’t agile glover last year, but he’s not smooth all this year. (Not necessarily the easiest play btw)

Take away the poor defensive plays of the last 2 nights and Reds would be in good position for a sweep! That and not being ready to take advantage of Carpenter being in RF in the first inning and they'd be up at least 2-0 in this game.

But then you'd disappoint that fraction of the fanbase who likely never goes to games, but thinks your best players don't belong with the club because....trade value.

[JCM11]

2 pitches 2 outs in the 7th lol.

[KeefeCato]

Gallo is their Moose.

[Ron Madden]

He probably should be at 3B. But this team seems to be full of 3B men.

I think fielding ground balls at 2B is a lot easier than fielding ground balls at the hot corner

[Reds Fanatic]

Trevino singles to left

[KeefeCato]

-11 OAA in India’s career. 4 more than the next worst since he debuted.

Wow! That says it all. Horrible.

[Mutaman]

I know of a certain team that needs to have infield practice before games.

According to Michael Kay, Reds are one of the few teams he has seen take infield practice.

[KeefeCato]

Less time to think though usually. Sometimes that helps. Wherever he plays going forward. He really needs to be putting time in to improve. Maybe he is but so far the results aren't there.

[RedScot]

Three strikes to Gonzales, 2-1 count.

[JCM11]

We need robo umps badly.

[Ky Fried Redleg]

Gallo is their Moose.

First time that sentence has ever been uttered in human history.

[Reds Fanatic]

Trevino steals 2nd inning should be over but this ump is awful

[KeefeCato]

Guessing it will be either Hoffman, Strickland or Sanmartin.

[Sassy Sal]

According to Michael Kay, Reds are one of the few teams he has seen take infield practice.

Then what's that say?

[malcontent]

This better be it for Castillo. Protection mode. And none of those 3 balls were balls.

[KeefeCato]

Guessing it will be either Hoffman, Strickland or Sanmartin.

Even worse Moreta.

[JCM11]

Crazy AB going on. Man seriously screw this ump that was just awful. Do the Reds even have the pen up?

[NCReds]

We need robo umps badly.

As Welsh says time and time again, umps set up on the inside part of the plate so it’s somewhat understandable to miss outside balls and strikes as long as it is consistent. This umpire is missing the inside strike calls. Terrible.

[0-2 Count]

This ump owes Luis a huge apology.

[RedScot]

Every ball in that AB was a strike.

[Ironman92]

Leave him in

[Reds Fanatic]

This ump just awful

[KeefeCato]

MLB should be embarrassed by this umpiring crew.

[757690]

This might end up being the ugliest umpire scorecard ever.

[Ironman92]

Luis still joking and amicable with the home plate ump….I commend him for that

[RedScot]

18532

[0-2 Count]

If this guy watches the tape afterwards, he should immediately recuse himself from ever working the plate again.

[Ironman92]

MLB should be embarrassed by this umpiring crew.

Well, they aren’t. Joe West umped 44 years snd 5000 games

[Reds Fanatic]

Luis still joking and amicable with the home plate ump….I commend him for that

Yes I commend him for always keeping his cool. I would have been like old school John McEnroe after that AB

[Sassy Sal]

MLB should be embarrassed by this umpiring crew.

Yankees fans would probably agree. Although, they haven't got hosed anywhere near as bad as Luis.

[Ron Madden]

I don't give a damn if the ump is consistent or not.

A ball is a ball and a strike is a strike and they should be called as such

[VR]

18532

The umpire scoreboard is going to be ugly for this one.

Huge K to end the inning !!

[0-2 Count]

That's justice. Threw 20 more pitches than he should have had to throw that inning.

[Tom Servo]

Even with the inconsistencies and the wavering amount of dawg in him...I'm gonna miss Luis

[JCM11]

Man that was Castillo vs the world and he still won. Massive pair on that guy lol.

[Mutaman]

That was pretty big time pitching.

[Ironman92]

Luis is a good good dude.

Can you imagine Jon Lester or Mad Bum getting squeezed like that, ****ty defense and then ump comes out and jokes with you? Lol they’d die

[KeefeCato]

If that was Castillo's last start as a Red. Heck of a way to go out.
Guessing he has a couple or three more before the deadline though.

[Rojo Rijo]

Great job LC. Drive that price higher and higher.

[Mitri]

Gonna miss Luis. Feels like a party of the family.

[Sassy Sal]

Luis is a Boss. El heffe.

[Rojo Rijo]

Yankees fans on twitter are absolutely salivating

[RedScot]

Hopefully the bats can get something on the board here to give Luis a final win in a Reds uniform.

[Ironman92]

Should be 2-0

[757690]

That inning alone might net the Reds an extra prospect.

[Ironman92]

Yankees fans on twitter are absolutely salivating

Wait til they see Jeff Hoffman

[Reds Fanatic]

Krall needs to be on the phone tonight emptying the Yankees farm system

[Mutaman]

I'd be fine with it. But if they did that they wouldn't spend on anyone else. So still would have a weak lineup and horrible pen.


At least we'd have Castillo. If we trade, we have a weak lineup and horrible pen, a prospect at Dayton, and Bob with even more money in his pocket.

[JCM11]

India getting on base like it's 2021.

[Reds Fanatic]

Drury with a hit. 1st and 2nd

[KeefeCato]

Need to get these runners in.

[Ironman92]

Due for a Wham Bam thank you Pham

[757690]

Bally’s showed three different angles of that play, none of them showing what we wanted to see, which was whether India had a chance of going to 3rd.

[Ironman92]

2nd time tonight I’ve posted something and Sadak alludes to it in the next 30 seconds

They try and take the extra base when they shouldn't. Don't go when they should

[Sassy Sal]

To me, it didn't seem like it. I don't want to see that 1st out at 3rd. Would have been close.

[JCM11]

Well at least Pham can still run.

[Reds Fanatic]

Pham grounds into a 6-4 FC. 1st and 3rd

[RedScot]

Huge spot for Joey.

[KeefeCato]

Up to Votto. Anything but a DP. Preferably not a K though.

[Rantly]

Yankees fans on twitter are absolutely salivating

Must be nice.

[0-2 Count]

Joey needs to keep this off the ground.

[Tadasimha]

Cmon Joey

[mhs95_06]

To me, it didn't seem like it. I don't want to see that 1st out at 3rd. Would have been close.

But no one was in good position to cover 3B, throw would have had to go to a moving target.

[Rojo Rijo]

Just send a deep fly to the gap and let us get 1

[RedTeamGo!]

If the Yankees want Castillo it will take a package headlined by Volpe. It’s that simple and I hope Krall realizes it.

[NebraskaRed]

Votto just looks so un-Votto-like at the plate

[KeefeCato]

If the Yankees want Castillo it will take a package headlined by Volpe. It’s that simple and I hope Krall realizes it.

Honestly I'd rather see him go to the Dodgers. They have a much better farm system. Not all but many of those Yankee prospects get over hyped.
VOTTO DELIVERS.

[RedTeamGo!]

Honestly I'd rather see him go to the Dodgers. They have a much better farm system.

That’s what I mean, with the Yankees it’s Volpe or no Castillo

[Tom Servo]

Votto!

[NebraskaRed]

That a boy, Votto

[Reds Fanatic]

Big hit! 2-1 Reds

[0-2 Count]

Vintage Votto

[Ironman92]

Good work Joey

We need more

[RedScot]

Love that man!

[Tadasimha]

There ya go!

[JCM11]

Beautiful hit by Votto to drive in India. Get Castillo a win boys.

[Ron Madden]

Joey RBI Single!!!

[Sassy Sal]

Good to see him come through.

[KeefeCato]

Come on Farmer.

[Ironman92]

Farmer in the big city….

[Reds Fanatic]

Stephenson grounds to the pitcher. 2nd and 3rd

[Tadasimha]

Get some, Farmdawg

[RedScot]

An insurance run would be huge here with Judge, Rizzo and Stanton due up.

[Rojo Rijo]

If the Yankees want Castillo it will take a package headlined by Volpe. It’s that simple and I hope Krall realizes it.

Which is why I could see them not making a deal for Castillo. Cashman is notorious for not trading for the big fish and scouring the TDL market for players he can obtain for little. Question is how long can he keep doing that and not winning the World Series? When you have the assets in place to make the move you do it, heck that's how he acquired Gleyber Torres. Fans will eat him alive if he won't meet the price for Castillo and the Yanks lose in the playoffs because of their starting pitching or because another teams starting pitching is superior.

[KeefeCato]

There it is FARMER!!!!

[Tom Servo]

Farm Dog!!

[NebraskaRed]

Yes!
