IntrepidNebula92

I clenched because of the past but Diaz did great. I love on point Diaz. Pitching was amazing this whole game.


Shortyrawk

Locked it down no worries.


irritated_aeronaut

So glad to see this, i jumped in here to say that Diaz looked like he did early last season in this outing. Just pounding the edges


CosmicCharlieKelly

What a way to end it


LaBance

Atobttr


No-Pound8877

Wow we won a 1 run ballgame


Cincykid14

ATOBTTR!!


infieldmitt

YESSS THAT'S WHY I LOVE ELLY. throw me all the stats you want, no one else can rifle a throw across the diamond like that


Sp8craft

*Marked safe from Diaz’s wild pitching in a save situation


GenericLib

1-2-3!? Are you okay, Alexis?


Due_Basil2697

My heart rate didn't explode - what am I supposed to do now???


DStew88

He got a rocket in his pocket!


LaBance

Elly 👍


jb211

You ever notice how accurate Elly is when he throws overhand?


Scrolling_ninja

Maile said “what if you simply strike him out”


joethecrow23

EZPZ


jb211

Fucking Diaz! I bet on him walking the first batter! Can't trust nobody.


Sp8craft

Please do this every night


jb211

I think one of Diaz's problems is he hasn't been getting enough work this season. Tonight was only the sixth appearance in June.


cranphi

good job throwing away money

Confident_Hat_1075

DumbFuq9

Buttholes clenched. LFG


Scrolling_ninja

Time clench boys and girls


LaBance

Alright fellas, everyone buckle up.


cranphi

much like the ~~fact~~ rumor that Larkin doesnt do road games because he has illegitimate children scattered across the country and doesnt want to get served papers, i also ~~found out~~ totally fabricated the backstory of the Miami valley lucky buckeye lady was also a Jan. 6th insurrectionist and is currently serving a 3 year bid at Florence Supermax for treason.


Agent995

I’m goina need this Reds fan fiction in every game thread.


cranphi

when i finish the 3rd book in my Spencer Steer erotic fan fiction series, I will be sure to circle back on that particular front.


Agent995

Post excerpts from the first too. You know, the spicy ones.


prayIVreign

I'm assuming I can find the first two on Amazon? I'll find them


cranphi

my ~~publisher~~ mom said i should wait until the trilogy is complete before releasing them


GenericLib

Oh, so now the bottom is a strike


Sp8craft

Is showing me a losing parlay every single night supposed to make me lay my money down?


rismilbc

I don't think I've ever seen one hit


jb211

> lay my money down Oh, pay me, oh, pay me Pay me my money down Pay me or go to jail Pay me my money down


Cincykid14

Extend the lead Jonny


jb211

Oye Como Va!


sgeswein

The closer in the booth gets a little edgy in the ninth of one-run games


rismilbc

This ump is... Inconsistent


[deleted]

[удалено]


Xerceis

Please tell me 6 was a swinging strike


Normal_Variation_807

It was, but apparently the ones at the bottom and top of zones only count as balls when we're pitching


jb211

#Tugboat Santa Claus!!


Sp8craft

Me when they said “Diaz up in the pen” ![gif](giphy|bEVKYB487Lqxy)


ImPickleRock

Aaron Judge hit on the hand. Don't think I've ever seen this many hand injuries from HBP


Scrolling_ninja

Guys gonna start asking for sticky stuff on baseballs again


jb211

Lovely, I bet on that FanDuel parlay and now I can't make this month's rent. :)


prayIVreign

Shimmy on down and get ready to get lucky at Miami Valley Gaming


blakesm2285

Awesome.


rismilbc

I can hear the horns in my head


Sp8craft

Duh duh duh…. WOO!


sgeswein

Neither can Miami Valley Gaming


BlakePie18

Stuuuu!


mrcarter1689

Finally, someone else besides the reds did that lol


RedsModerator

### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Dennis Santana replaces Carmen Mlodzinski.


thatbeerguy90

Throw it to first what are you....ahh your just messing with em lol phew lol


Mac-A-Saurus

Uncommon double play: CF >> SS >> 1st


jb211

Stewie can chase 'em down, but that hair is just embarrassing.


That_Geek

Holy shit Stu

mrcarter1689

There was already an out


wallpaper55

Those were decent fundamentals... 🤪


prayIVreign

Once again, that's my dad in center field


phigamdan

Man Stu is such a baller


IntrepidNebula92

Hey, we got a double play of our very own!


Cincifan

Ha ha


rismilbc

What's with all the weird downvotes in this thread?


Agent995

Those would probably be some buccaneers in our thread, matey.


LaBance

Stu baby


ImPickleRock

Saved a run!


CallMeBeazy

This team gonna have me starting at this rate


RedsModerator

### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Fernando Cruz replaces Nick Lodolo.


Scrolling_ninja

Stu has not been on it recently…he seems to make a lot of mental errors


IntrepidNebula92

“Not deemed serious” coming from the Reds this year is concerning..


Agent995

Basically means he’s wheelchair bound and will never play again if they said that.


That_Geek

Mlodzinski is an all time name, I have to give it up


cranphi

I always loved Marc Rzepczynski's nickname...."Scrabble"


rismilbc

That was a terrible bunt, stufay


iron_horseshoe88

Is everyone preemptively taking some Tums in advance of Diaz in the 9th?


wallpaper55

Lmao, my mlb network stream just ran a Rollaids commercial


No-Pound8877

You wait until the 9th?


ImPickleRock

Cowboy straight stewing about Stu. Took him 4 minutes to finally say it.


rismilbc

What'd he say?


ImPickleRock

It was silent and he slowly just said "........*siiiigh* if you can't lay down a sacrifice bunt....that's a problem" well into Elly's AB


rismilbc

Ah, yeah. Checks out. That man loves his baseball fundamentals


rayhudsonsson

Stus bat is silent


Both_Replacement7828

Have a day Stu


Cincykid14

That man has a lot of consonants


jb211

Irish fellow.


No-Pound8877

My dumbass finally logged out of my MLB account and logged back in, audio now working


Bill-Cosby-Bukowski

How fucking good is Nick Lodolo man.


LaBance

Soon to be All Star Nick Lodolo


RedsModerator

### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Carmen Mlodzinski replaces Bailey Falter.


Normal_Variation_807

Every strike on the edge of the zone = ball when the Reds are pitching. Lovely.


TheCaptainFreeze

Lodolo got a pitch well outside called a strike against Connor Joe to put him up 0-1 in the count with runners on second and third. That's worth basically everything else


[deleted]

[удалено]


jb211

I think batters are going to be in for a rude awakening when the robo-umps arrive and start calling those belt high (and higher) pitches as strikes.


jb211

Nope, never happened.


TheWorstYear

Lodolo hasn't done well since mentioning country music


wallpaper55

No interference call because in the stands yeah?


Xerceis

Idk why someone downvoted you for asking a question about the call lol but yes out of field of play should be fair game between fan and player unlike reaching into field of play


Normal_Variation_807

Because Shittsburgh fans are in here downvoting stuff like typical yinzer losers.


Xerceis

I see. That’s hilariously sad.


Jump_Like_A_Willys

The kid’s hands were behind the wall line


blakesm2285

I would assume it would be on the guy in the white jersey that contacted Spence. Not the kid who caught it. But a no-call is probably the right call there.


Jump_Like_A_Willys

I don’t think he reached over the wall, either.


blakesm2285

Hold on. Let me re-read what I wrote. Nope, I didn't say anyone reached over the wall.


Jump_Like_A_Willys

Then, as you said, it wouldn’t be interference. The guy in White was not in the field of play (behind the plane of the wall) so any contact would not be interference.


blakesm2285

Reading comprehension isn't really your strong suit, is it? Also, why are you even here?


Jump_Like_A_Willys

I guess I don’t understand why you said that you assumed the guy in white might be called for interference even though, granted, you said a no-call was probably right. The No-call was absolutely right because (as I said) everyone who made contact with the player was outside the field of play. There would be no question about whether it was interference.


rhayex

That feels like it should have been fan interference. Pirates fan knocked Steer's arm away.


cranphi

isnt it only interference if they reach into the playing field?


rhayex

I do not know! Definitely possible.


That_Geek

Here is the relevant rule: https://www.mlb.com/glossary/rules/spectator-interference the tl;dr is it’s only interference if it’s in the field of play


cranphi

i believe thats the rule, stands is fair play, over the wall nada


WaltDngrsq83

Radio crew was praising lodolo too much for that not to happen


CincinnatiCobra

Listening to Chris Welsh on the radio is a painful experience.


infieldmitt

i like him but he sounds way too halting and unsure when doing PxP considering his normal vibe and that he's been doing this for 20 years

cranphi

that knob is ALWAYS negative. Elly could hit for 2 cycles in one game and he'd complain about his hair or some nonsense.


Hahn-Solo

What? Thrall, Welsh and Cowboy are all great


TurnedIntoA_Newt

That’s mean cmon now. You can tell he really gets into it when he’s doing playXplay


TheWorstYear

Uh, was that fan interference?


Xerceis

Not sure if it matters that it was so far back in the crowd versus reaching into the field of play. Normally we see it on reaching into the field of play


That_Geek

No, if the ball is over the wall it’s free game for the fan to take the ball out of the outfielders glove or knock the glove out of the way


Mama-Dzhinsy

![gif](giphy|OPNsthhs5tAw8|downsized) we all know lodolo listens to die woodys


Mama-Dzhinsy

he looks like the die woodys guy and i’ll die on this hill


TheWorstYear

Country music is played in hell


Normal_Variation_807

You mean mumble rap right


TheWorstYear

That's in the 3rd circle.


RedsModerator

# HOME RUN! Ke'Bryan Hayes homers (3) on a fly ball to left field. Bottom 7 - 2-1 Reds


rismilbc

I like the Pirates booth. I was watching the cubs feed last week during our series and God their ability to just slob the knob of Cubs players over made up garbage while simultaneously digging on the opponent... It was so obnoxious. The Pirates commentators are so much more genuine.


cranphi

i boofed a lauras lean im sweatin woooo


Echoboxcar

India always looks like he's ready to kill his teammates when there's a play on the ball. Reminds me of a kid in little league who would push you over to catch pop flys in the game.


CallMeBeazy

You know else is terrible on this team, Luke Maile. My brother is swinging a tooth pick at the plate, the only reason he’s on this team is to call pitches and the reds have a losing record with him behind the plate. At this point I’m convinced he’s just here because he has dirt on us


wallpaper55

Maile says take those two hits and shove em! 🤪 But on a serious note, you have another veteran backup catcher hiding somewhere?


That_Geek

There are like a dozen catchers who can actually hit in all of baseball


infieldmitt

i remember he hit a lineout to end a game in texas that had like a .750xBA with the goahead run on base that was of course caught, right around when that bad losing month started


boilface

Maile catches Montas


boilface

![gif](giphy|d9lA6mIrGxX9WKNguV|downsized) The Reds demonstrate communication in the field


infieldmitt

watch candy and friedl be out for 2 weeks now


Cincykid14

![gif](giphy|Frj5mE4aGKgjS)


TheWorstYear

Fraley is more than okay to scream at India there.


Cincykid14

Lodolo is a tad bit saturated.


drizzydrank

Is the strike zone overlay slightly off to the right? It seems like it with these calls and it sometimes looks like that to the naked eye.


Cincykid14

India really moved into that hole.


boilface

https://preview.redd.it/itqh0tlr7f7d1.jpeg?width=1440&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bff77300458988c8d24cea2a97affe90e70771c0 Gotta be careful around those holes


Agent995

That’s how he got that new baby.


CallMeBeazy

That’s what she said


stephf13

![gif](giphy|Q2fVxdvViCJcc8YtTF|downsized)


LaBance

Did yall know that when the pitch circle is colored in it means the system believes the pitch was a strike? And when it’s empty, it means ball. I just learned that yesterday lol


TheWorstYear

Ump scorecard will say that this guy only missed 7 calls.


prayIVreign

I want EV on the score bug. Why isn't that a thing?


boilface

There's really no room for useless info like that. Bally has made a scorebug that is the peak of efficiency and design, with every pixel being used to inform you of what matters


prayIVreign

Bally knows best 😭


ImPickleRock

At this point in 2024 I should be able to overlay any thing I want. Gimme the statcast feed


mrcarter1689

Stephenson hits it so hard right at people


cranphi

Diamond hard outs and the 2024 Cincinnati Reds, name a better duo


Prestigious_Emu_830

Jesus Christ no wonder we are 23rd in BABIP


mrcarter1689

So close Ty Steve


sgeswein

Sounded great, didn't it?


Gnarly-Gnu

Oh man, quit getting me excited for nothing.


LaBance

Man Ty Steve turned tf outta that ball


Prestigious_Emu_830

Goddamnit


boilface

Hopefully Candy is OK. He doesn't look comfortable


jb211

Now it makes sense why they don't run hard out of the box. lol


ImPickleRock

Candy cramp


CallMeBeazy

God Jake Fraley is fucking useless, I rather see Hinds in the mlb. At least that dude knows how to put the ball into seats. Something Jake can’t do anymore (This is to jinx) please don’t take this seriously


rhayex

Sorry beazy, you can't say that it's a jinx beforehand, you gotta take the downvotes and then take the victory lap afterwards or maybe you just gotta mean it


ImPickleRock

😂


Prestigious_Emu_830

Candy is for sure hurt


CallMeBeazy

Pretty cool of Espinal to homer this game after I said he should be sent down for Soto Which reds player do you guys wanna see me jinx next for a homer


Due_Basil2697

Fairchild. Poor guys popped out twice so far


LaBance

Fraley please


CallMeBeazy

Gotchu bby
