79-83 as they slide down the stretch.

 

Heard they were delayed on WLW by Cunningham and had to wonder if it was April Fools day already.

IF it doesn't rain....it will piss people off.   Such a huge event for OD and have a few friends who have been going 35+ years.   Think when they called the Reds to be put on the jumbo tron the longest active streak is 78 straight years...but that person has not been called to be added to the list.

 

Man..Didn't realize Bailey has been around this long. Wish him the best!

I went to his debut game before I moved to Cincinnati. I've lived here 10 years now. I hope he turns his career around, but I'm not too optimistic.

When he first cam to the league it was reported he was not very coach able but has gotten much better.

If he can stay healthy I think he will have a solid season.   He was the posterchild for getting overthrown in HS.   Word is he pitched both ends of a DH more than once in HS.  Gotta wonder if that lead to his injuries

Looks like it was a great decision to postpone.   Imagine hotels and bars loved it as many staying an extra day.    Know quite a few still went down yesterday asmit was too late to cancel.

Yeah, today has been pretty miserable and the radar doesn't look like it's going to let up for a while.

Duvall only 3 career AB vs Scherzer....so it’s not that

So now we are doing the LH, LH, LH in middle of the order....so are we admitting the last decade has been wrong or just today’s overthought by our great great manager.

Reds lose 6-2

I like the line-up today with Billy batting last and Duvall, who is likely to be overmatched by Scherzer(as well as Peraza and Suarez), held in reserve.

What is the reason that Bailey is batting 8th?

Gennett = a defensive liability.

Give Harper credit for busting it down to affect things

Lead-off double and Scherzer has no mercy, promptly striking out 3, including 2 lefties, preserving his 1-0 lead.

Bailey was very good. Scooter raked.

I like Scooter batting 2nd, then Joey then Suarez

I see Bailey went 1 for 2, while Hamilton was 0 for 4.

With all the pitchers you guys have on the DL, not surprised you're kicking the tires on a guy who at least was very serviceable for a few years.

Castillo giving up big HRs with FBs and wowing hitters with his change.  Just awful location.

 

0-2 start is a mere 5 innings away.   One more with the Natinals and the sCrUBS come to town.
