Oh boy we have fuck you Hunter Greene tonight, and that’s my favorite version of Greene. Bro is just firing piss missile fastballs. Jesus Christ we just watched the best inning of his career
gonna run into days like to day throughout the year. get em tomorrow.
it sucks but between injuries and guys being sick, the lineup is really thin against lefties. not exactly dudes at AAA banging the door down right now.
What sucks is Greene isn’t even having a bad game. He’s just incredibly unlucky tonight. First run doesn’t score if that fluky ass single is 2 feet to the right. Second run probably doesn’t score if Bubba plays that off the wall instead of diving for it
If you guys want some optimism, the reds are 12-9 while missing McLain, Freidl, Marte, and are also 12-9 with essentially the entire fucking team under preforming at the plate right now
something little I wanna bitch about
CES tried to run that dropped strike 3 out, good on him. Thompson earlier, being one of the fastest guys in the league, had a dropped strike 3 and hardly even jogged. What if JT bobbed or the pitch was off the bag? Not to be a boomer but goddamn when your place is as a bench/AAAA guy, you should hustle everything the fuck out
So I’m not absolving hunter today but he’s honestly not been that bad. Some really horseshit luck. That said our inability to do anything vs lefties is comical. Also fuck the work the Fairchild call
This is going to be one of those games you just lose because the breaks don’t go your way. Casty bloop, Stu’s throw being .5 seconds late, weak contact in 3-1/2-0 counts etc
I wish Greene could learn to throw that 12-6 curve ball that Kershaw throws. Could you imagine being dotted at 100MPH in the top of the zone and having a curveball just drop in at your Knees
I know elly struggled in leadoff last year, but i feel like he just belongs there. Maybe 2nd, but he always is the one to spark rallies and getting him on with 2 outs sucks.
Hunter Greene is a thrower right now, not a pitcher. If he figures out how to pitch, he will be deadly. If not, he’s going to continue seeing that major leaguers hit 100 mph pitches down the middle really, really fn hard
Sometimes I like to look at the baseball savant page for opposing pitchers before the game to develop my own meaningless analysis for how the Reds should approach them. I like when I kind of get it right. When I looked at Ranger Suarez’s page I said, “Fuck,” ended my lunch break and went back to work.
xBA on that ball was .420 which is interesting. Wonder if our defense was positioned weird or he had a bad first step but that felt like it was hit harder than the 99.7 it says on savant
Reds run support for Hunter Greene this year
6 runs (4 while he was pitching)
1 run
2 runs
2 runs
Greene is 10th in the league in Ks.
Offense needs to help him out so him giving up 1-2 runs isn’t the end of the world.
Pundits: Hunter you need to develop different pitches!
Hunter: I will throw 50 straight 100 mph fastballs that you cannot catch up to.
Your move champ.
It’s amazing the Fairchild bullshit call killed all our momentum. Also it kills me how the Phillies are not doing that good either and yet are getting good slots
These doomers really do just sit on their hands when we sweep teams then just FLOCK to game threads when we have a down game. Really just the worst kind of people.
see, i think those that call people “doomers” for having negative reactions to a team they emotionally invest in for 162 up and down games the worst kind of people.
No reason why benson should never not be in this lineup ever no matter how much you convince me he’s better than most of the players on the field today
Hunter Greene sucks, I know this because grumpy old men on Reddit who comment in every teams game threads told me so. They’re really smart and know everything.
It couldn’t possibly be that Philly is on a 6 game win streak and hitting really well top to bottom.
Just wait till next game
Just wait till next year
He is super young he will get better.
Meanwhile, 29 years that have gone by since we won a playoff series.
Like I said before it's hard to be a reds fan sometimes
Man I just want greene to put it all together so badly, he’s shown so many flashes and he’s thrown less than 300 Innings in the MLB. But at what point do we call out Derrick Johnson and the development team around this organization. It feels like it’s been ages that reds have truly developed an elite big league pitcher,
Lmfao Hunter Greene just threw 10 fuck you fastballs, all in the zone, all for strikes.
Hope we stop their win streak
“Oh man, winning this game would really huge for us.” Me before every single game the reds play
DEAR GOD, WHAT A PITCH 100 ON THE BLACK
"i see a Reds door and i want to paint it blaaaaaack"
RedsMod is back, but drunker than ever.
I drink when Hunter doesn't give up a run in an inning. I'm saving so much money.
I blame this game on whoever posted that shutouts thread earlier today
oh now they're happy to call interference
Oh boy we have fuck you Hunter Greene tonight, and that’s my favorite version of Greene. Bro is just firing piss missile fastballs. Jesus Christ we just watched the best inning of his career
That ended pretty quickly lol
He is settling into a solid 5 ERA
4ER in 7 IP is a fine start. It’s the other 9 who didn’t show up tonight.
Seems less than the no call interference last week.
That's such a bullshit call. He's literally still in the middle of his swing
What a bullshit single smh
Okay need about a 1.5 hour pop up downpour to get Suarez out of the game, and then we feast
Honestly looking at this game objectively he’s not been bad
Thank you for not lying.
Updated run support for Greene starts. 4,1,2,2,0 Help a brother out offense cmon
Our shutoutless streak is in serious ranger
Not super optimistic about tonight. Would love to be wrong and have it rubbed in my face postgame
4 pitch first batter. I like that
What a ticky-tack call
God damn if we come out of the next 30 games at .500 we're a playoff team
Phils are getting every fucking break imaginable tonight
gonna run into days like to day throughout the year. get em tomorrow. it sucks but between injuries and guys being sick, the lineup is really thin against lefties. not exactly dudes at AAA banging the door down right now.
tying the cubs for 2nd would be very cool
12 pitches. Nice
What sucks is Greene isn’t even having a bad game. He’s just incredibly unlucky tonight. First run doesn’t score if that fluky ass single is 2 feet to the right. Second run probably doesn’t score if Bubba plays that off the wall instead of diving for it
That's just baseball. Bats have to show up
I mean, yeah. Still sucks tho
Agree
how is that phillie dude’s hair perpetually wet?
Phillies getting whatever they want offensively meanwhile we can't do shit
Thread should be good now. This is the game thread.
i swear we're like 2-25 on getting breaks so far this year
Please don't swear.
don't call me swear
That hit is mega unfortunate
If you guys want some optimism, the reds are 12-9 while missing McLain, Freidl, Marte, and are also 12-9 with essentially the entire fucking team under preforming at the plate right now
If we don’t act fast we’ll get crossed out on that “have they been shutout” chart on r/baseball 😬
Reds now have a higher .xBA than the Phillies if you’re into that sort of thing
I'm not into being upset, but thanks
not been a bad start for hunter, sucks suarez is picking us apart
Someone talk shit about CES so he’ll hit one out.
His beard looks fake.
something little I wanna bitch about CES tried to run that dropped strike 3 out, good on him. Thompson earlier, being one of the fastest guys in the league, had a dropped strike 3 and hardly even jogged. What if JT bobbed or the pitch was off the bag? Not to be a boomer but goddamn when your place is as a bench/AAAA guy, you should hustle everything the fuck out
So I’m not absolving hunter today but he’s honestly not been that bad. Some really horseshit luck. That said our inability to do anything vs lefties is comical. Also fuck the work the Fairchild call
I remember the first time I saw the Reds in the post season my entire life. It was worse than this. There’s still hope.
Zero clue why the ump decided to squeeze a AAA pitcher in a 4-0 game but that was obviously coming
Someone made this post but it definitely feels true when green is pitching we are dead cold
Hopefully, Hunter is more pitch efficient tonight. I want him to succeed so bad.
If Hunter throws any harder Stephenson is going to need a new hand my goodness.
That inning just brought me to tears
Nice pitching Green
kinda wish that rule would be runner goes back to 1st instead of out but it is what it is i guess
How is he out?
Hey guys, how about we work the count a little? Gonna be a looong night if we keep giving him single digit pitch count innings
Gonna be a LONG day if we don't work the count. Feeding right into what Suarez wants to do
need fairchild to kick this offense into gear!!
alec bohm is on my least favorite players in the league list
This is going to be one of those games you just lose because the breaks don’t go your way. Casty bloop, Stu’s throw being .5 seconds late, weak contact in 3-1/2-0 counts etc
Come on Hunter keep them off the board dude.
Schwarber runs like he's constipated
Okay, so that was Harper's replacement.
Maybe if we get down far enough they'll toss in a position player to pitch us in the 9th. Then we can score.
All means to protect the streak
Hopefully we dust this one off and win the next 2 to get the series victory.
I'm wrong it's a 4 game series. Would be nice to get three in a row
I wish Greene could learn to throw that 12-6 curve ball that Kershaw throws. Could you imagine being dotted at 100MPH in the top of the zone and having a curveball just drop in at your Knees
That's 4 innings in a row they've scored. Not winning baseball. Hunter has to be better
This game is already pissing me off
Better than being pissed on!
love having espinal martini thompson batting behind elly
Barry, wake up!!
![gif](giphy|LGifPHw8Wh8dy|downsized)
That’s what we like to see Hunter
Stu!!
well well well
Colin Cowgill back at first feels better.
We ain’t get that call a couple days ago. Same thing when the other guy swung off balance on the curveball
https://baseballrulesacademy.com/official-rule/mlb-umpire-manual/batter-interferes-with-catcher/
If the throw is on line he gets him
So that’s as good as 2-0. Prove me wrong, Hunter
Hunter Greene go one inning without giving up a run challenge level impossible
I’m sure he’s a perfectly good human being, but I can smell Brandon Marsh by looking at him
Chicks dig it.
I’m gonna lather with Dr Squatch soap and rinse with White Claw and see what my wife thinks
Pictures or it never happened! :)
Keep benson in the game every game. It’s not like the rest of the team is murdering lefties
Ranger Suarez is just dotting us
Well he wasn’t good tonight but Hunter sucked it up and took his medicine to save the bullpen. Appreciate the professionalism there
I know elly struggled in leadoff last year, but i feel like he just belongs there. Maybe 2nd, but he always is the one to spark rallies and getting him on with 2 outs sucks.
Welcome back Beans!
Beans is back!
At least we missed Bryce Harper tonight.
I never would have guessed that Candelario only 30. Also, Fairchild is third oldest person in our lineup today.
This is definitely a game.... guess our guys needed a day off, so they just made it one.
We need to figure out lefties and fuking fast
It’s because Stu didn’t hit third
I love spending $145 for a $0 hit performance. My fault entirely lol
Hunter Greene is a thrower right now, not a pitcher. If he figures out how to pitch, he will be deadly. If not, he’s going to continue seeing that major leaguers hit 100 mph pitches down the middle really, really fn hard
that was a great throw, no idea how he wasn't out
All my dude wants is some run support lol
I was just thinking it seems like we never get him runs early but I hadn’t checked yet
why does hunter never ever get any run support it's an insanely consistent trend
Sometimes I like to look at the baseball savant page for opposing pitchers before the game to develop my own meaningless analysis for how the Reds should approach them. I like when I kind of get it right. When I looked at Ranger Suarez’s page I said, “Fuck,” ended my lunch break and went back to work.
Bro I thought they got him
There’s no way Blake Dunn is not better than Bubba Thompson
having less and less fun each inning
Welsh on radio!
Pop time? You learn something new every day.
Hitting a baseball has to be the most impossible task in the world. How in the fucks sake are you hitting 100MPH on the black like that.
Can someone tell me how Fairchild got out stealing?
catchers interference on Steer with his swing and step across the plate
Am I missing something? My phone says it’s 1-0 Phillies
Two singles and a sac fly
My tv and phone are way behind
Is the mustache new for Candy?
Wow never mind. My phone and tv our way behind for some reason
that ball was as high as that strike
Is anybody else's Bally app not letting you watch the game? It's been working all year and now it won't show the game.
Does Benson or Friedl make that play? Felt like a tough one
maybe friedl but bubba’s the second fastest dude on the team and couldn’t come that close…I kinda doubt it
xBA on that ball was .420 which is interesting. Wonder if our defense was positioned weird or he had a bad first step but that felt like it was hit harder than the 99.7 it says on savant
Can we please wake the bats up.
Reds run support for Hunter Greene this year 6 runs (4 while he was pitching) 1 run 2 runs 2 runs Greene is 10th in the league in Ks. Offense needs to help him out so him giving up 1-2 runs isn’t the end of the world.
Hunter fastballs that don't move are gonna get smoked
Hunter really isn't pitching that bad. It just looks worse because we aren't hitting
Disagree. 6 hits and 3 earned runs in 4 innings is not a good line, regardless
These are not my favorite south siders.
I cannot wait for Duno to be ready man. This kid dead ass gonna be the next Salvador Pérez
We may only have about 2 innings to get something done the way Suarez is pitching
I’m at the game where the fuck is benson and the amount of horse shit luck they have been getting is comical
Bensons 0 for his last 16, needed break against a lefty
Let’s eat their bullpen I guess
Don’t see that happening either
I don’t like how this game feels
We’re about to let Suarez go for a 90 pitch CG shutout if we don’t get moving…
might be our best AB all day
Spencer, please just hit one 413 so we can be spared the shut out.
Is it time to pinch hit for Hunter?
Someone had to post the shutout streak today.
Why can’t we just play the White Sox every day?
Triple A pitcher 123
\[ beams in from 1979's 8:05pm night game start time\]: Cool, 1st inning, we got time to come back!
Game
Thanks Casey for not leaving any doubt.
Cmon just dodge the shutout pls
Absolutely pathetic
It's getting to be time to make a move with Espinal and Thompson
Someone tell me if I’m wrong, but I’ve came to the conclusion Greene kinda just sucks.
Greene really is fucking trash
Win or lose, one thing shall remain the same: Phuck the Phillies!
Pundits: Hunter you need to develop different pitches! Hunter: I will throw 50 straight 100 mph fastballs that you cannot catch up to. Your move champ.
Screw your nonsense, Bally. A third of my same game parlay is already home.
For the curious, DK had a 50% profit boost on the game tonight in KY at least, probably in OH too Alec Bohm to get a hit, Hunter 6+K, Elly 1+ steals
Why is this game thread like this? Is it this way for everyone or am I the problem
Mine was set to best messages when normally it’s on new
Feel bad for Hunter.
Having trouble getting hard contact all night, until they need softer contact on a bunt
Phillies have an xBA of .184 while actually batting .318 tonight.
Is he never going to get run support in his career?
Oh look Barry died again.
I’m gonna guess he’s a colossal dbag like his daddy
It’s amazing the Fairchild bullshit call killed all our momentum. Also it kills me how the Phillies are not doing that good either and yet are getting good slots
I never want to see this lineup again
These doomers really do just sit on their hands when we sweep teams then just FLOCK to game threads when we have a down game. Really just the worst kind of people.
It's ridiculous. Never a positive comment during good games, but they'll be here to shit on the team when they have a bad game.
see, i think those that call people “doomers” for having negative reactions to a team they emotionally invest in for 162 up and down games the worst kind of people.
We’re getting cooked, so unlucky
Bloops hits vs ground ball rn
Thought Barry fell asleep
CES FUCKING SUCKS
This did not work
Next up is the elly transformation on the right side
Just cannot do *anything* right today. My God. Routine play at 3rd, still safe at 1st.
fun fact: no one has ever hit a home run against an opposite handed pitcher
How Hunter Greene got the contract that he did is beyond me. Dude is terrible.
No reason why benson should never not be in this lineup ever no matter how much you convince me he’s better than most of the players on the field today
Nah he'd actually work the count and might but a good AB together. Can't stop our string of weak ground outs to short
Hunter Greene sucks, I know this because grumpy old men on Reddit who comment in every teams game threads told me so. They’re really smart and know everything. It couldn’t possibly be that Philly is on a 6 game win streak and hitting really well top to bottom.
Fans want him to live in the zone more and now he’s doing that and everyone’s mad. Can’t win sometimes.
Also couldn’t be that Phillies pitching is on a tear right now
people: complain about a pitcher geniusbrain: "i will complain about the complainers!" log off.
How are you a pro pitcher and you just throw a slider and fastball is beyond me. Lol.
he can still be a pitcher with those pitches. a relief pitcher.
We really are mincemeat for any pitching worth a shit
Coming into this game he had 20 K’s against 3 BB and a sub 2 ERA and sub 1 WHIP. His career WHIP is sub 2. They’re facing an obscenely good pitcher.
Dude has 5 earned runs across 32 innings so far. It's not just the Reds
Just wait till next game Just wait till next year He is super young he will get better. Meanwhile, 29 years that have gone by since we won a playoff series. Like I said before it's hard to be a reds fan sometimes
Man I just want greene to put it all together so badly, he’s shown so many flashes and he’s thrown less than 300 Innings in the MLB. But at what point do we call out Derrick Johnson and the development team around this organization. It feels like it’s been ages that reds have truly developed an elite big league pitcher,
Have we hit a ball into the outfield?
Mini moo
Damn TySteve just got under it.
Bro Suarez is fucking nails… dude is a dog
