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.
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.
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.

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.Originally Posted by KeefeCato

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.

****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 !!!!

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 was 19 days before my first Reds' game and 20 before you attended your first one. The next game and incident I'm gonna recall in a couple of days also happened in '71. I'll be very interested to see if you remember it.

The Yankees lineup has been added to the original post
You should start a thread on the ORG (main page) title it The Rest Of The Story, you can post your stories and trivia questions there where more people would have a chance to read and discuss everything.

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.

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

Last night’s loss really bummed me. A bad loss.
The defense needs to step it up and make the plays tonight!
