Good night ..

Disaster...inexcusable.

Vest now has an ERA of 6.75. He needs to figure out how to pitch in any inning he's called on. Consistency. Falling behind hitters....ugh.

Typical 7th inning Will Vest.

Beanball wartime?

A few 7th inning runs would be great...

So it's a final score, right? Not suspended, a final?

Back in the good old days, they would show the 1968 world series highlights. Now we have Twitter rain delay questions? No thank you.

This is all I can find about games called official after 5 innings; "For regulation games, once the visiting team makes 15 outs (five innings) and the home team leads, or once the home team makes 15 outs, the game is considered official. Tied games are completed later, while games cut short after becoming official with no ties have standing results." https://www.thebaseballguide.com/rain-delay/

You mean the Reds have the option of picking up a suspended game? Why wouldn't they want to resume it? They were behind so it's their only chance to win.

Falling behind in the count seldom work out.

Dingler!!!

Hinch goes right to one of our better BP arms. Kinda surprising.

Mine didn't do that. But I had paused it so I'm on a bit of delay.

Left on left hits are very impressive by the kid. Its like nothing bothers him...

Torres has so much patience. He's gotta be near the top of the league in walks?

Talk about black holes in the lineup. The Reds bottom of their lineup is offensively challenged.

De La Cruz....boo hiss...

Earlier, my app said only a 15% chance of rain. Now it's gonna rain all night?

Agreed. Its nearly impossible to get consistent pressure on quarterbacks but good coverage can give the DL those couple extra seconds to get at the QB.

It looks like nice weekend weather in Cincinnati this weekend. I tried to type Cincinnati in a George Kell Arkansas drawl but between not knowing how to spell the drawl and spellcheck, I gave up. 😆

Plus we faced a crazy number of RH pitchers to start the season. When we finally faced a LH pitcher, he was sick with that stomach flu. I'm glad Hinch stuck with him, it woukda been easy to demote him.

I just re-watched Tork's walkoff, listening to the Brewer announcers. They sounded depressed...😆 But I didn't notice Uribe throwing 100 MPH. Tork hit a 99 MPH pitch for his HR. Pretty impressive

I like the pitching matchups in this series. Flaherty may be a question mark but he's going up against Brady Singer and his 5.32 ERA.

I' m still thinking of that game Atlanta beat us. They were hitting a lot of shots and it looked like they matched up pretty well against us. But it looks like if we face them, in would be in the East Finals. So yeah, beat Orlando first.
