Chang’s getting all kinds of playing time.

[moonslav59]

Everybody have fun tonight!

 

Everybody Wong Chang, tonight!

[vegasbob]

Whitlock done for the year, getting hip surgery this week to be ready for ST. Sox still talking about Whit as a starter next year. Must be going to build the BP around someone else.

Was looking for the defense and batters to support Bello today better than his first several starts. Lodolo is wild early so the runners are on. Failed in the first since Cora continues to play JDM for no real purpose.

[vegasbob]

Nice DP roller by Chang kills that idea, but he did advance a runner to 3rd , now with 2 outs

 

But Wong took strike 3. These audition games are uniquely interesting.

Pick one. You can't have both.

I'm just hoping Bloom does not offer JD a QO, even if it means losing a mid-level prospect.

Wishing well for Bello tonight included the proposition that he would pitch well to accompany the defense and batters. In the second inning he now has a chance to bail himslef out since he loaded the bases and can't throw a strike

 

So he K's 2 in a row, can he complete the bailout with the 3rd. Sometimes an issue for Boston pitchers

Bello needs to learn to pitch out of the stretch; he seems to have a lot of trouble doing that.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Getting the Reds' feed. Joey Votto in the booth is as bad as it gets.

Worse than Massarotti?

A little surprised he stayed in the stretch with bases loaded. He could go windup without too much fear of someone on third sneaking home with out him realizing it

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Worse than Massarotti?

 

Yup. Votto reminds me of Herschel Walker. Talks and talks and says nothing.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Yup. Votto reminds me of Herschel Walker. Talks and talks and says nothing.

 

He's pretty much what was referred to in the old days as a 'jock.'

JDM lights the ball up off the CF wall and rolls into 3rd like he was born there.

Speed demon!

They both started.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Vin Scully and Bob Uecker. Two baseball announcers with completely different personalities, who were/are as good as it gets behind the mic.

I'm just hoping Bloom does not offer JD a QO, even if it means losing a mid-level prospect.

 

No way he gets a QO.

 

I'd give one to Bogey & Wacha.

 

Some want Nate, too. Not me, unless we are sure he'll refuse.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

They both started.

 

I was referring to one could either have fun tonight or one could have Wong Chang.

Reffy, not Raffy this time with the big fly to take back the lead over a team playing 31 games under .500.

[vegasbob]

0-6 RISP, 2 GIDP, 2 runs despite 4 walks and 3 HBP's in 4 innings. Refsnyder's 410' HR was a solo .

[Nick]

Got to do it...

 

We're Wong, Chang, Pham Reds tonight.

[Oscars]

0-11 with RISP, which been a common theme of this years team.

[Old Red]

Schwaber hit #40 tonight. Woulda, shoulda, coulda.

[Tedballgame]

'Get this clown out of there.

Should have signed Schwarber and unloaded J.D. on somebody.

[Old Red]

Judge with #60.

[vegasbob]

I'd like to comment on Strahm's inability to throw strikes ( 9 of 25 pitches) but the team wins and marches on steadfastly towards the 80 mark.
