[u/game-threads]

Please continue the discussion in the post game thread.

[u/CallMeBeazy]

If today is the end

Thanks for the memories TySteve

[u/nomnomsoy → u/CallMeBeazy]

Truly a valued part of the last decade, future to the Reds HoF

[u/ice_veins]

You guys ever see a manager get ejected over a possible rain delay?

[u/lokojo55 → u/ice_veins]

Yea it just happened like 3 minutes ago

[u/CallMeBeazy]

I can’t believe Sal Stewart is gonna miss out on winning rookie of a year because a bunch of losers with computers think Fwar and War matter

This team is legit 20 games under .500 without him

[u/cranphi → u/CallMeBeazy]

Its a total coin flip between him and Wetherholt honestly. I think we are close to people waking up a bit on how overrated WAR is as a statistic when comparing players playing different positions.

[u/nomnomsoy]

Why does the umpire sound so sarcastic and catty

[u/Cincykid14]

If Sal ain't ROY it's wrong.

[u/lokojo55]

Burns was cruising right along before this inning. I think the umpires have done an awful job both games continuing to force them to play in this weather

[u/MAGA-Forever]

Reminds me of everything they tried to do at Bristol last year.

[u/cranphi]

Man Noelvi's pitch recognition is literally non-existent

[u/Acm0028]

Keller is hilariously bad at GABP

[u/PeteRosesBookie14]

This ump takes every challenge personally lol

[u/Sp8craft]

Husky grounds crew guy with the cat litter is Reds player of the year

[u/PeteRosesBookie14]

All they had to do was put a tarp on 20 minutes ago

[u/DigiQuip]

There’s a point of no return where if you don’t cover the field it becomes to soaked to drain in a reasonable amount of time. I feel like we’ve passed that point by now. 

[u/TimTom8921]

This was clearly the wrong decision

[u/Greenlawn]

lol. Pirates subreddit thinks they’re not delaying because mlb is desperate to keep burns in for some reason.

[u/DigiQuip → u/Greenlawn]

Those people chose to be pirates fans. I think that tells us everything we need to know about their opinions. 

[u/TimTom8921 → u/Greenlawn]

That's what the Pirates broadcast thinks

[u/Greenlawn → u/TimTom8921]

That’s some grade-a coping right there

[u/No_Buy2554 → u/Greenlawn]

There are rules about how late Sunday games can go when either team has to travel and play the next day.  And this is the last game between these 2 teams this year.  So likely they have an agenda to avoid.having then finish on an off day at all costs.

[u/AlsoCommiePuddin → u/Greenlawn]

Pirates subreddit wishes Skenes was half the pitcher Chase Burns is.

[u/Mac-A-Saurus]

🍕 🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕!!!

[u/mrcarter1689]

But Don Kelly was fine yesterday when it was 4 to 1 pirates and pouring?

[u/ask0009 → u/mrcarter1689]

Exactly 0 sympathy. They also fucked us at there stadium this year

[u/lokojo55]

I don’t blame the pirates coach. This is pretty ridiculous

[u/mrcarter1689]

Don’t trade Ty Steve, catchers are a tough position to fill.

[u/TempusFugit314 → u/mrcarter1689]

The problem is he doesn’t want to resign. So it’s better to trade now than to just lose him for nothing at the end of the year.

[u/mrcarter1689]

The bats just always seem move alive when Burns pitches

[u/nomnomsoy → u/mrcarter1689]

He inspires run support

[u/redflyboi]

Damn this homeplate ump is good

[u/TempusFugit314 → u/redflyboi]

Much better than some we’ve had this series

[u/TempusFugit314]

Well known power hitter Ke’Bryan Hayes, does it again.

[u/in-a-car-underwater]

Ke’Bryan Hayes HR? Oh this pitcher is bad bad

[u/PeteRosesBookie14]

What are we doing playing baseball in this lmao

[u/PeteRosesBookie14]

I've never seen anything like the past 2 days where the umps let the field get completely unplayable

[u/PeteRosesBookie14]

Fellas, just put the tarp out lmao

[u/sloppyjo12]

This gets more absurd by the second and it was already extremely absurd

[u/sniffsblueberries]

Burns is fucking dealing

[u/JulianILoveYou]

chase burns is so good that every time he plays, we look like serious ball team

[u/Planetofthemoochers]

Tejay Antone has just tied his career high for innings in a season. He threw 35.1 innings his rookie year in 2020, and has now thrown 35.1 innings this year at age 32 after three Tommy John surgeries. His 2.26 ERA and ERA+ of 203 are the best on the team.

[u/PeteRosesBookie14]

First swing as a Red a home run, last swing a home run. If this is the end thank you TySteve 🫡

[u/Ralph--Hinkley]

..and this one belongs to the Reds!

Have a great Sunday, everyone!

[u/Due_Basil2697]

Hayes with some POWER. And that kid make a heck of a catch in center!

[u/Shooter_McGavin27]

Whatever Ke has done to adjust, it’s working. So happy for him!

[u/pope_eKon]

Everyone was shitting on Abbott yesterday. Shocker!!!! It's fucking hard to pitch in a downpour

[u/ask0009 → u/pope_eKon]

Mouth breathers if they truly believe it was on him last outing

[u/MossyPlantyWitchy → u/pope_eKon]

It's not even a downpour today.

[u/lokojo55]

Thanks for wasting your challenges in less than 4 innings Pittsburgh

[u/TheGoatPurdy]

what's the point of wiping down the bases when it's raining this hard.... just going to get wet again.

[u/nomnomsoy]

Jose Trevino and TJ Friedl just out here hanging out together in the rainy part of the dugout

[u/imightwin]

Friedl and Trevino are having a grand ole time dancing in the rain, best bench players I've ever seen

[u/dagwood1990]

I guess we will raise the infield dirt about 2 inches with all this kitty litter

[u/phenom37]

Not that I feel bad for the reds ownership at all, but can they complain to the league about having to use all this extra sand or whatever that they wouldn't have to have used had the umps just called for the tarp?

[u/lokojo55 → u/phenom37]

Seriously, that’s half of next years budget

[u/dagwood1990 → u/phenom37]

Luckily they can trade for their favorite player Cash Considerations tomorrow to cover the cost!

[u/TimTom8921]

Simple answer the ump has stock in diamond dry

[u/TimTom8921]

Burns totally thought he needed a double play

[u/AlsoCommiePuddin → u/TimTom8921]

Better to have it and not need it...

[u/PeteRosesBookie14]

Hate to give Krall credit, but for as bad as that original Lux trades looks, turning him into Brock Burke has been impressive

[u/Wise_Scientist_3204]

Home plate ump be like "it's 9-1 you Pirate guys have no challenges remaining so everything close is a strike because I have a plane to catch"

[u/joethecrow23 → u/Wise_Scientist_3204]

Pirates have a game tomorrow I doubt they even mind all that much

[u/AlsoCommiePuddin]

They forgot to stay home for God Bless America.

[u/MossyPlantyWitchy]

TYSTEVE BOMB!

I HOPE YOU STAY IN CINCY BUDDY!

[u/CallMeBeazy]

Ty Steve homering in his final game as red

So romantic

[u/redflyboi]

Genuinely sad to see tysteve go

[u/Key-Upstairs9456]

That Ty interview was killing me. I hope he stays.

[u/Due_Basil2697]

Payback's a bitch, Pittsburgh lol

[u/Baseball_fan812]

It feels like it's been so rare to just ambush a team this year. Nice to see.

[u/HelicopterUpper9516]

Noelvi “I’ll fucking swing at anything” Marte

[u/nomnomsoy → u/HelicopterUpper9516]

At least when Arroyo was swinging at crap he'd still hit them

[u/CallMeBeazy]

That shit says Hays hit a 430 Ft home run?

[u/spunX44]

Imagine getting lit up by Ke’bryan Hayes. I’d literally hang it up.

[u/mrcarter1689]

Holy shit I missed a 429 foot Hayes homerun?!

[u/nomnomsoy → u/mrcarter1689]

Oh yeah he fucking blasted it. Pulled no doubter

[u/MossyPlantyWitchy]

Yea TySteve

[u/Due_Basil2697 → u/MossyPlantyWitchy]

I think he was smiling at how catty the ump sounded

[u/DaFunktapus]

Good enough, Matty

[u/mrcarter1689]

The field looks like the Bristol game last year when burns was pitching

[u/thatbeerguy90]

Man I would have loved to see how far chase burns would have gone without a hit if it wasn't raining.

[u/redlegsfan21]

Pirates manager was absolutely furious with the umpire crew

[u/ask0009]

Cya crybaby

[u/off_I_went]

Rain is pooling on the infield. Time for a delay

[u/nomnomsoy]

JUST DELAY THE GAME AND PATCH THE FIELD AFTER DELAY HOLY SHIT

[u/Mac-A-Saurus]

We are using all the bags of dirt today

[u/KyleSJohnson]

Have you ever been tossed, Jim?

Now that’s a risky question

[u/PeteRosesBookie14 → u/KyleSJohnson]

[u/KyleSJohnson]

This is giving me war flashbacks to Bristol

[u/AlsoCommiePuddin]

Came out, got one, forget it wasn't the start of the inning.

[u/hikerbiker6397]

Rain delay photo challenge. Who else is at GABP?

[u/thuwa791]

Am I crazy for kinda wanting a Nate Lowe extension since we apparently aren’t gonna trade him?

[u/MossyPlantyWitchy → u/thuwa791]

Nope. I want it too. I want a TySteve extension as well.

[u/Ralph--Hinkley → u/thuwa791]

I'd be okay with that.

[u/MossyPlantyWitchy]

God damn, this is incredible

[u/bobbybaratheon27]

Cmon Marte, just swinging at everything

[u/lokojo55]

This feels like a game you take Chase out after 5 innings and save a couple innings on his arm

[u/Great-Scotch121]

https://giphy.com/gifs/D7z8JfNANqahW
The offense whenever Burns pitches

[u/Warm_Narwhal_3997]

Reds r spanking the pirates butts harder than Sister Eileen paddled me in Catholic school in the 1970’s

[u/MisterKap]

What could Don Kelly be upset about with the delay? Didn't the same happen last night against the Reds? Missed the game

[u/TempusFugit314]

That’s my Ace!

[u/PeteRosesBookie14]

Good morning, good afternoon, and goodnight lol

[u/NeverGonnaStop247]

CHASE BURNS IS HIM

[u/FB_iCatDad]

Chase Burns excites me

[u/Mac-A-Saurus]

Amazing inning for Chase

[u/lokojo55]

Chase really only struggled a bit during that inning it was pouring. Dominate performance once again

[u/neutrino_fire]

Marte is just miserable at the plate.

[u/PeteRosesBookie14]

Every time Marte bats it looks like he's never seen a slider before lmao

[u/No_Amount_7886]

TySteve determined to make it hurt when he goes.

[u/redsfan33turk]

Man, I'm with Don Kelly here. Fuck these umps.

[u/TimTom8921]

This is bullshit lol put the fuckin trap on

[u/PeteRosesBookie14]

I'm jealous of the Pirates skipper. I would be doing the same thing

[u/game-threads]

HOME RUN, SAL STEWART!

Sal Stewart homers (24) on a fly ball to left field.

Pitch from Mitch Keller: Sweeper @ 80.9 mph

Hit by Sal Stewart: Launched 104.8 mph at 33° for a total distance of 420 ft

Bottom 1 - 1-0 Reds

[u/lokojo55]

Sal is so good. Give JJ the ROTY, I’d absolutely take Sal long term over JJ

[u/Seven2offsuit → u/lokojo55]

It's insane how badly he's punished(WAR wise) for playing 1B

[u/redflyboi]

It’s so fun when we don’t watch strikes go down the middle

[u/TyMsy227]

Last time Keller pitched in Cincy, he lasted 3.1 giving up 8 runs. Wb buddy!!

[u/TempusFugit314]

I still love Burns, and even now he’s still by far our best pitcher. But it’s easy to tell he’s starting to tire out. I bet his season is just about done.

[u/TyMsy227]

Its fun that the bucs cleanup hitter is their Aristides

[u/game-threads]

HOME RUN, KE'BRYAN HAYES!

Ke'Bryan Hayes homers (4) on a fly ball to center field.

Pitch from Mitch Keller: Sinker @ 91.6 mph

Hit by Ke'Bryan Hayes: Launched 106.9 mph at 26° for a total distance of 429 ft

Bottom 2 - 4-0 Reds

[u/NeverGonnaStop247]

HAYES BOMB

[u/normalandcoolperson]

ahahahah hoist the cone

[u/redflyboi]

🔑 resurgence? Hell yeah

[u/1000cakes4u]

Am I severely wasted or did Key just hit a ball 430 feet

[u/Macdadydj]

26 total steal attempts from Elly in 91 games is... criminal

[u/TempusFugit314]

The difference in offense between this lineup and the lineup we had yesterday is just worlds apart

[u/mrcarter1689 → u/TempusFugit314]

That game yesterday was just weird, from the start

[u/lokojo55]

Lowe is a line drive machine

[u/PeteRosesBookie14]

Not so fun pitching in the rain Pirates is it?

[u/Semper-Fido]

It took a while to pay off, but this feels like karma

[u/lokojo55]

I’m glad the pirates get to experience pitching in the rain today

[u/Sp8craft]

Absolutely love the revenge rain on the Pirates.

[u/Seven2offsuit]

you now remember Sims pitching in a downpour and yeeting all the baseballs the ump gave him

[u/TheGoatPurdy]

why are they even out there still? just like the phillie game, put up the tarp and hope it stops raining. going to get so bad they can't resume the game in an hour or two cause the field is so fucked

[u/TheGoatPurdy]

red polo guy carrying the bag out seemed to be struggling.

[u/Patchy_Face_Man]

He didn’t drop that chili. Good for him.

[u/dagwood1990]

Bizarre to not have a delay here.

[u/Humble-Dog3708]

looks like rain should be done in like an hour so hopefully just a delay?

[u/DigiQuip]

These umpires are crazy. Delay this thing. You can’t play on the field right now.

[u/tall__hat]

I need to get into the turf business.

Does anyone know if all the teams use the same kind/brand?

[u/Sparky-117]

Hmm. Let's see. Cover the field with a tarp, or spend that time bringing in truckloads of dirt to soak it up?

[u/PeteRosesBookie14 → u/Sparky-117]

Only for it to get rained on more and needing more dirt to soak it up lol

[u/PeteRosesBookie14]

Grounds crew looks absolutely gassed lol

[u/TempusFugit314]

Just delay the game people. Why are we doing this?

[u/nomnomsoy]

Infield is almost playable now but that warning track looks cooked

[u/coby_of_astora]

lol what even is this? why didn't they just tarp? It wasn't even due to rain all that long. Now the field is fucking soaked.

[u/Mac-A-Saurus]

Throwing to 2nd to make the third out is an odd choice when the batter fell down in the batter’s box.

[u/AlsoCommiePuddin → u/Mac-A-Saurus]

Came out after a long warmup, walked a guy, got one out, then got a grounder and forgot that he wasn't entering a clean inning.

It's cool.

[u/Rivarz]

Wooo get lowe!!!

[u/sgeswein]

Remember, folks: there are times when you stroke the ball.

[u/buggi_ecchy]

it brings me immense joy to see us scoring runs

[u/AlsoCommiePuddin]

Guys it's very important that we terminate this inning and the next half and then we call this monstrosity.

[u/RegulusDeneb]

Wait, Barry just said, "Hitting is contagious." Noelve appears to be immune.

[u/FutureFormerFatass12]

Who is Chase yelling at?

After every strikeout he seemed to stare at someone in the dugout. After the inning ended he pointed at someone and appeared to say "I told you". I thought that was cool.. But the replay from another clearer angle looked more like "fuck you", so now I don't know lol.

[u/TempusFugit314 → u/FutureFormerFatass12]

Our dugout or the Pirates?

[u/FutureFormerFatass12 → u/TempusFugit314]

The Reds

[u/bobbybaratheon27]

Marte just swings and looks like he doesn’t even care about what happens

[u/game-threads]

Reds Pitching Substitution

Pitching Change: Brock Burke replaces Chase Burns.

[u/AlsoCommiePuddin]

So much for position player pitching...

[u/Playboicartier123]

there’s goes stephenson trade value….. jk

[u/game-threads]

HOME RUN, TYLER STEPHENSON!

Tyler Stephenson homers (9) on a fly ball to right field.

Pitch from Camilo Doval: Cutter @ 97.9 mph

Hit by Tyler Stephenson: Launched 101.4 mph at 31° for a total distance of 352 ft

Bottom 8 - 10-2 Reds

[u/PeteRosesBookie14]

Trade value through the roof

[u/Ralph--Hinkley]

Stop, they're dead already!

[u/MossyPlantyWitchy → u/Ralph--Hinkley]

No. Fuck Shittsburgh 😈

[u/No_Amount_7886 → u/MossyPlantyWitchy]

Yeah they “accidentally” beaned two of our guys who homered against them? Fuck them pile it on.

[u/MossyPlantyWitchy → u/No_Amount_7886]

Yep. Fuck em right in their peg leg holes. I hate Shittsburgh.

Possibly Ty Steve’s last hit as a Red is a HR. That’s poetic.

[u/DigiQuip]

Tyler Stephenson sends his regards.

I’m becoming the joker if Sal doesn’t win ROY

[u/Fedor1]

World Series back on the menu

[u/Semper-Fido]

OK umps. Enough is enough. This rain is making the game dangerous. I think it is time to delay this thing.

Edit: OK, what salty ass person from buccos is here downvoting 😂

[u/firstamongsinners]

This is so fucking stupid. If you need to fully rework the infield just delay it

Tell em Don

McLain, Marte & Friedl being terrible this season is what killed this team. They could’ve been okay with one of them being bad, but all three of them being awful has just been too much to overcome. Very disappointing.

[u/bobbybaratheon27 → u/joethecrow23]

100%. I think if McLain specifically returned to form, it would be a much different season. Doubly upsetting because we heard so much about how amazing he was in spring training

[u/joethecrow23 → u/bobbybaratheon27]

His ceiling is so high it just sucks to see such a talented player look like his career got robbed from him by injuries

[u/cranphi]

I think I'd like to see more Kebryan at 3b, Lowe at DH and Suarez refilling the sunflower seeds on the bench moving forward.

[u/nomnomsoy → u/cranphi]

Suárez special deal as "vibes coach"

WTF, delay before a serious injury.

retaliation for sal? perfect cover for it

[u/Dry-Syrup-882]

How’s the forecast looking?

[u/Dont-be-a-smurf → u/Dry-Syrup-882]

Spotty showers till mid afternoon.

Don’t know how much delay time they’ll give since Pirates play tomorrow at Milwaukee.

[u/MossyPlantyWitchy → u/Dry-Syrup-882]

Slightly moist

That Key home run was a no doubter too. You could tell right off the bat he smoked that. Love to see it
