Yesterday was a nightmare, let's not do that again pls

SAY HEY!

Happy 86th Birthday to Willie Mays!

Dodgers

Nice start for Amir

He's so fucking fast

And Awfault is a regular commentator now?

What is this team trying to do cut its fans by 20%, he is terrible.

He's awful

This Reds lineup is legit as fuck, but starting pitching is extremely questionable with Desclafani, Homer and FInnegan on the DL.

If they can hang around and get their two big pitchers back this summer, they can contend for a WC. It's a lineup that's gonna score a boatload of runs, particularly in their park.

I think Reds are for sure a dark horse. But like you said starting pitching is the weak spot.

>this inning

That baby pig faced Arroyo has GOT to be playing best bottom boy for the entire lineup, right?

feel bad for that rightfielder desu

Lmao that entire inning.

That last one wasn't easy at all either

never mind, I think both these teams are complete shit.

Why is this so frustrating?

Can someone make a Mesoraco pepe? He actually looks like a frog.

How do you even get to be that fast?

If Hamilton is hitting he wrecks games.

Trades for Giants during the fire sale?

I would go Pence, Morse, and Nunez for some prospects

I think Pence wants to stay in SF and will take pay cuts if necessary to do so.

Hamilton looks like a crackhead and runs like he's fiending for a stash on the next base.

sounds like employees at my company who know they are under performing

He's talking like a crackhead too

You should hear him talk. It's like he's always loaded on helium and cocaine.

Did they walk Votto on like every AB this series?

more spaghetti

Jesus fucking christ

Hey Reds fans,

Why does attendence look bad? I think your park is cool and you have a OK/fun team. Just curious

Very low expectations and attendance for Reds games is always low to start the season for whatever reason. It usually picks up when it warms up.

I don't know, the attendance completely tanked this year, it's usually not this bad even when the team struggles. I would go if I could but I live in Arizona now.

Nuñez doesn't want to play anymore. He's not even trying to field

Lol, this team is such shit. THey are mailing it in, I hope Boch wrecks shop and sends them all back to Sacramento

affeldt is bad luck
and bad at color

Billy is a dinger away from the cycle and we're in the 3rd inning.

will we see position players pitching

Hopefully cuz Billy will need a running start and for someone to tee it up for him to get a homer

I hope so.

Or maybe he'll get an inside the park homerun

Is Cueto starting the next game?

Yes.

Not that it matters much and they didn't say anything on Reds broadcast, but that bloop hit for Cozart looked really catchable. Whoever the LFer is just jogged and stopped and let it fall.

He was just brought up today, too. I think the whole team would rather just forfeit, but you can at least put in the hustle if you're trying to make your case to stay in the Show.

Hamilton gonna be swinging out of his shoes for the rest of this game

is there more to life

The Reds have scored in 11 of the 12 innings they've played in this series. That's unreal.

Got to give it to the Giants, when they are shit, they are complete shit. No second guessing this team is bad.

...

Hamilton leading off this next inning. Dinger away lads.

I appreciate you resd for knocking me back into reality.
I was starting to believe that the Giants would turn this around after the dodgers series

I can't remember the last time the Reds were this hot at the plate. Literally everyone, well except maybe Mes is on fire.

I am actually a giants fan but a little salty.

I would not say it would be a completly bad year if they lost 100 games but prevented the Dodgers by going to the playoffs by consistently beating them. But I have zero faith in the Rockies, Dbacks, and Padres to do anything this year.

This feels nice.

Are we back in the first if the Cubs lose tonight?

1 back
if so, tie for first
(same record. who has head-to-head advantage for the season?)

Guy with connections to both our teams is having a fantastic year so far for the Cards. Mike Leake has been damn near unhittable.

Always liked Leake when he was a Red. Nice to see him doing well even tho he plays for the faggot Methinals.

The next 5 games you win against the Giants this week will be a good boost to stay ahead of the Cubs.

I miss the 2014 rotation desu

>you will never watch Leake stream super smash bros with hunter pence again
He was cool

Yea he's a cool dude. When I lived in Cincy me and my gf ran into him at a Krogers and she asked for a pic and he was really cool about it.

Garrett getting a w (Bronson yesterday).
The Giants made them look almost unhittable.

Kudos to the Giants batting hitting coach. He's a credit to the rest of the league.

Garrett has legit stuff, but he wasn't all that sharp tonight location wise tho. Getting shutdown by him isn't so bad.

But letting Bronson's wiffle balls shut ya down is pretty bad kek.

Garrett is actually good, his stats just look bad because of that Brewers rape. Brewers always rape the Reds in an epic fashion for some reason.

Literally everyone in a Reds jersey is a basehit waiting to happen.

Billy was on the Rome show recently. Any listener knows that the jungle karma is very real.

Hits. NOT runs.
They can barely get any hits (also. only 3 extra base hits for the 2 games).

Bochy looks miserable

I would be too if I was in his shoes. Goddamn, the Jints suck this year.

GG Giantsbros. Know it's been a tough series, but there's always tomorrow and Cueto is always good here.

gg reds.


-------------------------
Series finale (game #3) is a getaway game (travel after)

... tomorrow at 4:10 PM ET | 1:10 PM PT

(note: Cueto still has the blister. High possibility of a Reds sweep if the bullpen comes in early)
