A Mason native will get to start for his hometown Cincinnati Reds.

T.J. Zeuch was promoted from the taxi squad to make his season debut Wednesday afternoon against the New York Mets.



"It's going to be incredible," he told Bally Sports and other assembled media with regard to putting on the Cincinnati uniform. "I grew up going to Reds games watching Adam Dunn, Sean Casey, Ken Griffey, all those guys... even Joey (Votto)."


The 27-year-old was a former first-round pick of Toronto in 2016. From 2019-2021 he threw 49 innings, in both starts and relief work, for the Blue Jays but was 2-4 with a 4.59 ERA.

Zeuch was eventually traded to the St. Louis Cardinals but never made it back to the big leagues and was released during the 2022 season.

The Reds signed the 6-foot-7 right-hander to a minor league deal in June. He was 0-1 with a 3.63 ERA in five starts for Triple-A Louisville.

[KeefeCato]

Wow the Reds lineup was super late being released today.

[KeefeCato]

Hopefully this game thread will be more about the game today and not a Votto bash fest like most of last nights was.

In case this thread will be run per Robert's Rules of Order, I second this hope.

[Boston Red]

Mets are -345 favorites. Yikes.

[KeefeCato]

Maybe I'm way off here. But to me the Mets lineup looks good but nothing special. But those top 2 in the rotation could take them a long way in the postseason.

[kaldaniels]

It’s always darkest before the dawn.

How do you pronounce our starting pitcher's name?

Klu get your list ready... :thumbup:

“Zilch” and don’t anyone dare to object.

[JCM11]

I counted down the days until Tommy Pham was no longer the Reds #3 hitter only to see him replaced by Kyle Farmer lol.

[KeefeCato]

6 pitches. SIX

[NebraskaRed]

3 outs in 6 pitches

[RedTeamGo!]

Lose for crews!

Groundhog Day these last 3 games in the first inning

Someone screwed up with the throw to 3rd.

[Wayne Krivsky]

Which I think is better than seeing Mike Moustakas in that slot?

[Dawink]

This start feels ominous to say the least. That pop out helped a bunch.

2-0 Mets bot 2 coming up.

Reds clearly decided to swing early and often here

The opposing pitchers pound the strike zone because the Reds have no power.

Text book execution by the Mets

Zoinks! This guy is not good.

Finally a pitcher worse than Minor.

[Old school 1983]

I’d give this guy another start. He looks super nervous. Give him one where he’s not to judge. I like some of the movement on his pitches.

[brian5562]

Man hope Barrero can get consistent at the plate. He is fun to watch.

[Sassy Sal]

Wouldn't be surprised if he gets more. It's about nothing more than eating innings right now.

[cumberlandreds]

Naquin biting the hand that once fed him.

[NebraskaRed]

Demolishing a young pitcher's confidence one game at a time.

[CrosleyVet]

Moonlight Graham pitching for Reds tomorrow, unless he crosses the base line and turns into Burt Lancaster

[cumberlandreds]

6-0 Mets after three. If you promise to patronize our sponser's you may walk the dog now.

[TheBigLebowski]

This Zeuch fella is throwing darts!

[Sassy Sal]

Votto is turning his season around now! The comeback begins.

[icehole3]

Nice hitting by Votto

[KeefeCato]

Votto saw the game thread last night.

[Sassy Sal]

Votto saw the game thread last night.

Lol that was pretty a pretty brutal beat down on Joe.

Consider running with it if he turns into Nelson Figueroa

Votto since coming back from the COVID IL (260 plate appearances) 126 wRC+, so he's fine.

[NebraskaRed]

He's 27, FWIW.

Young in relation to me!

[cumberlandreds]

Reds score two in the 4th. 6-2 Metsies

[cumberlandreds]

Double play ends the inning. 6-2 Metropolitans after four.

[TheBigLebowski]

Looked a little better. I just don’t see what he can bring to the table that’s any better than league average. Low velo, no sharp secondary offerings..

[cumberlandreds]

Votto a nice hit with his elbow.

[icehole3]

Votto with the Stl Cards move

[cumberlandreds]

Solano grounds out to leave the bases loaded. 6-2 Mets half way through this one.

[Marc D]

...half way through this one.

Feels longer

[cumberlandreds]

Zipping right along here....


Zoink has done all the damage he can do. Reiver is now in pitching.

[icehole3]

that was a strike

[cumberlandreds]

Naquin keeps on biting.

[cumberlandreds]

Barrero should have never thrown that ball. 7-2 Mets

[Ky Fried Redleg]

On this date 78 years ago, Red Barrett of the Boston Braves tossed a complete game, nine inning shutout of the Reds 2-0 at Crosley Field.


So what, you say ?






Well, Ol' Red was pretty pitch efficient that day . He needed only 58 pitches to record his shutout . Time of the game : 1 hr, 15 min. Ron Madden barely had time to finish his second brewsky at Crosley on that day .

AND NOW YOU KNOW... The REST... Of The Story . :)

[cumberlandreds]

Just throw Barrero a slider and he will go fishing every time.

[cumberlandreds]

7-2 Mets middle of the 6th.

[Sassy Sal]

Keith Hernandez said "I hate to say it, but the Reds look awful." after Barrero made the bad trow to 1B and Votto didn't bother to try and come off the bag and block the ball.

[Ron Madden]

KY Brain Fried Redleg,

There's never been a time when it's ever taken me 37 minutes to finish a beer. :beerme:

[wlf WV]

Just throw Barrero a slider and he will go fishing every time.

He's one reason I still watch. Great glove, but I never thought he had no idea what a breaking ball was, except that he can't find it.

[cumberlandreds]

Keith Hernandez said "I hate to say it, but the Reds look awful." after Barrero made the bad trow to 1B and Votto didn't bother to try and come off the bag and block the ball.

He is right too. They look totally disinterested today.

[cumberlandreds]

Get the women and children away from the TV. This one is really ugly now.

Can't watch. Should Votto have gone down and to the left, down and to the left?

Their minds are probably lost in the heady anticipation of playing in the cornfield game.

Is that accurate? One thing about Bell is that he's had the boys play hard all season. But it looks like the tear down has caught up with them mentally.

[icehole3]

Bring some more rookies up if vets are worn out.

The Mets would look awful if they traded all there hitters and pitchers with major league talent

[Ron Madden]

Hunter Strickland now on the mound for Cincinnati

[Ky Fried Redleg]

I think the moves from a week ago, along with the loss of Stephenson, are starting to mentally take its toll on the rest of the team. This group has played hard for most of the season. After the incredibly bad start , they recovered to play .500 ball for about half of a season. Looks like they are mentally spent. I hope not but I'm afraid Keefe's prediction from a few weeks ago could prove to be prophetic. These last two months may be brutal.

[Sea Ray]

There is such a discrepancy between the haves and have nots in MLB this year. I think they feel totally overmatched when they're playing the Dodgers or the Mets, especially with "these" starting pitchers. I do think they should aggressively bring up minor leaguers but that's probably not practical 'till Sept

[cumberlandreds]

MLB Network even bailled out on this game.:laugh:

[malcontent]

Naquin now at .263 .316 .502 .818. Last year he finished .270 .333 .477 .810.

I always liked him, and they absolutely need LHHs with Votto and Moose falling off the cliff.

I would have tried to resign him --- and extend Drury --- but I guess neither of those things were ever going to happen.

Still might sign Naquin on a 1 year deal. Unless another team gives him multiple years

Who knew all Strickland needed was to pitch behind 8 runs?

They usually do that in blowouts

This one is finally over. Mets sweep the Reds. I am afraid many more sweeps are in store for this season.

Bobby Nightengale
@nightengalejr

Hunter Strickland, who is out of the closer's role, struck out Francisco Lindor and Daniel Vogelbach in the eighth inning of a 10-2 game. Pete Alonso had a 110-mph exit velocity on a groundout.

Strickland's velocity was down about 2.5 mph.

[RedTeamGo!]

Excellent

[Tom Servo]

The only surprise to me in this series is that this was the only truly lopsided game, I thought they all had blowout potential.

[Ironman92]

That game sucked. Hope Bell enjoyed his nap.

[wlf WV]

It's gonna be a long 50 or so games for guys in the field . I thought they looked checked out inlast nights game.

[goreds2]

We still have tomorrow nights field of dreams game to look forward to. Should be fun.

I wouldn't be surprised if this isn't broken again next year. All Reds players seem to be made of glass. Couple that with switching out minor leaguer for minor leaguer once or twice a week. And you end up with this.

In 1970 (the year I was born), the Reds used only 33 players for the entire season, and eight of them played in fewer than 10 games.

In 1972, they used 31 players, and five played in fewer than 10 games.

In 1975, they used 29 players, and two played in fewer than 10 games.

In 1976, they used 29 players, and two played in fewer than 10 games.

The Reds used 40+ players in 1909, 1910, 1912, 1913, 1914, 1934, 1937, 1955, 1958, 1960, 1984, and every season since 1988 -- with the exception of 1994, 1999, 2012, and 2013.

1993 was the first season in which they used 50+ players (51 that season).
