>tfw there hasn't been a rain out all season for the Reds
Lucky desu.
arrieta on the mound
>good luck resd
>binnys beverage depot gonna go bankrupt with all these fowler lead off hits
>>66996921
don't worry, White Sox fans' drinking habits will keep them in business
welp
BASED BRYANT
KB had to break out eventually
Anyone have the Reds broadcast? All I can find is the Cubs broadcast.
>>66997010
Cubs have good announcers. Just stick with it.
>david ross
First Bowie now Prince.
Where are we now
If I can't find based Thom and Chris I guess I'll just mute it.
>>66997086
kek
The slump continues.
the run machine is back online
KILL THE PITCHER!!
GAS THE PITCHER!!
Benny Z finally did something
gg cusb
This game's gonna get real ugly.
>Len and JD already doing garbage time trivia
>Giving up an infield single to David Ross
Fun game so far
just fuck me up
>>66997330
Ross, Mesoraco, Ramon Hernandez
EZ (although I wouldn't have guessed Ross if it weren't obvious in the situation)
dat baseline qt
SHOOT THE PITCHER!!!
NUKE THE BULLPEN FROM OUTER SPACE!!!
CLEANSE THE PITCHING STAFF AND START FRESH!!!
>>66997438
its the only way
>>66997438
Even that won't save you
inb4 no hitter with 10+ Cubs runs.
>Chyna, Prince, the mom from Everybody Loves Raymond
Wew, glad the trio is over. I'm always slightly worries after one death that the Sklar Brothers will go in a double whammy.
You may only reply to this shitpost if your team has won a World Series in the last quarter century
You may only reply to this post if your team didn't get BTFO by the Cubs in the NLDS
>>66997718
Fuck off kike
>>66997832
>from Chicago, home of the most corrupt kikery politicians in the country
>calls others kikes
At least call me a nigger or something. You have your logic circuit fucked up
>>66997718
You may only remain in this thread if your team will win one in the next quarter century.
In other words, fuck off you inbred methhead.
>>66997718
thanks for inspiring my OC, m8
>>66997925
Add a Pirates logo to the nurse and it's perfect
>Blackhawks get eliminated tonight
>Black Sox fags find a way to blame the cubs for it.
They should have just cheered for the winning team and this wouldn't have happened.
>>66997949
thought about doing that, why not
>>66997914
You can be co world champs with the cusbs this year if you want
>>66998029
thanks senpai
>>66998040
t-thanks family
>>66998040
No thanks m8. We'll win our own once these prospects are developed. First we have to sit through a few years at the bottom though.
>>66997914
You're cool, Redsbro.
nice catch duvall
>>66998094
I have never had any ill will towards Cinci and would love if the top 2 teams in the division were Cubs and Reds.
>>66998106
:^)
*throws out scorecard*
I am ready for some quality baseball. Glad we're getting a bunch of these reds games out of the way early.
also,
>resd fielding
jake the snake with the rake
>dat resd defense
more cubs fans than resd at this game
Absolute lel
kill me
>>66998228
That's likely how it's gonna be against most shitty teams
>>66998213
Someone post suicide Wojak or suicide Pepe so I can make some Reds specific oc in gimp.
>Cubs fan gives the foul ball to a little girl
Well that was pretty nice.
>buttmad ump
>>66998295
Redsbro, I honestly wish that the Cubs and Reds could team up to double cuck the Cards. Whenever a game is scheduled between us, we team up together to slaughter the Cards. Also, we make sure to bean every cards pitcher in the head each at bat.
> arrieta walking dudes
lol what
Arrieta wont make it past the 6th with his pitch count
Why are resd bros so based compared to everyone else in the division?
cucked
>>66998537
we're very laid back. the two trips i've made to wrigley, my friends and i made friends quickly with cubs fans, we just get along well
>>66998537
When your team is shit, it saps the will to shitpost and you're going to be conciliatory to anyone who doesn't attack you.
>>66998559
Good luck with your prospects. Hope you fuck the tards up to bring them back to 4th where they belong
> free outs
Kek
>>66998492
>>66998537
Just keep beating the Tardinals. That is more important than anything.
>>66998517
Thanks.
>>66998610
thanks man. i've been a resd fan my whole life, i'm not worried about a few down years. the cincinnati fan affect is to be dejected and pessimistic, but i just can't think that way
>>66998537
thanks i will
Will Arrieta pitch a no-hitter tonight?
chicago and cincinnati are the only cities i have lived in, i have a soft spot for the cusb
Oh sheeit ross
>>66998667
Cubs fan here, pessimism is a life-long endeavor for me.
>>66998559
Reds fans have been very nice to me in my trips to Great American Ballpark. Love the stadium.
>melville
more like lelville
>>66998667
>>66998578
Eh as a cub fan i can relate
>>66998613
Hopefully cubes can break cards heart by preventing them from going to the playoofs this year
>>66998737
dude yeah. more often than not i end up making friends with some visiting team fans there. i've met cubs fans, brewer fans (who were fucking awesome and nearly came to blows with some rando defending pete rose in an argument), blue jay fans (who knew how to fucking party), and even some cool pirate fans. my trips to chicago were all positive, i will never understand people who hate on wrigleyville
>literary references and toy story quotes
same old JD
>>66998800
Sometimes you get assholes but most of us just are there to enjoy baseball. Shame a few drunk fucks ruin it for everyone.
>>66998828
Im actually starting to grow to like him... Think it may be stockholns syndrome
>>66998788
Even better, the Cubs win the division, ButtPirates in 2nd place, Tards in 3rd place. Tards lose to the pirates in a wild card game 15-0. Pirates get swept in the NLDS by the Cubs.
>>66998834
well i mean, i love drunk fucks. i just wonder what the hell people expect from several blocks of bars surrounding a ballpark
>getting no hit
>2016
>>66998932
No way Arrieta goes the distance unfortunately
>>66998932
>>66998690
DELETE THIS
>>66998932
cozart will break it
>>66998949
More than likely, why bother keeping someone in the whole game in April.
Errybody hitting dingers tonite
OLD MAN GONE DEEP
ROSS ARRIETA BACK 2 BACK PLEASE
>mfw montero loses the starting job to a 97 year old man
That's a dinger
ROSS hits a HOME RUN! HAHAHAHAHA. This was the old faggot that couldn't get a hit off Lackey, Winwright, etc.
>>66997914

>>66998492
>being so obsessed with a team you feel the need to team up with other cast offs
This is the definition of pathetic. It really shows that you guys have been so shit for forever That you want to team up with other teams to take out the top dog
>>66999177
We took out the top dog when it mattered
>>66999177
>top dog
>2016
Cardsfag pls go your a few years late
>>66999200
In the World Series?
that ball did not look like it was going to go far off the bat
NOBODY BEATS THE RIZZ
Holy shit just end my fucking life. Someone please get those reds suicide Pepes out and post em
fucking kill me
Nobody beats the RIZZ
Dinger city
JUST
>>66999177
>Tards
>top dog
HAHAHAHA nope. Welcome to the era of sub .500 Cardinals baseball. This will last for at least 5 years. Enjoy!
>resd
don't worry resd fans, look at what happened when the Reds were no hitting the Cubs into the sixth inning earlier this season
>>66997619
One run away from this being a possibility
>>66999302
5 years assumong they do everything right
Lets hope they go into a perpetual state of sorrow like the rockies or padres
Oh man, I feel bad for the Reds.
Saved by the BABIP
>>66999302
This is probably the 7th year I've heard this in a row
Russel's hitting is the one black eye of this game for the Cubs.
>>66999390
he fucking smoked that ball
>>66999359
Don't. In 2-3 years it will be the Reds and Cubs duking it out for control of the Central with other teams being irrelevant. The tardinals on the other hand will be lucky to field an above .500 team for the next decade. Don't feel bad for them either though, they deserve it.
>>66999410
And right into the glove of a Red.
Fug, it's over.
>>66999502
Nope, fielder's choice m8.
>>66999419
One can only hope. I'm still expecting the Cubs to fuck things up. It's amazing they have the record they do (well, it's because of pitching really) given that most hitters in the starting lineup have BA < .200.
>>66999502
Fielder's choice isn't scored as a hit senpai
>>66999502
>A batter who reaches first base safely as the result of a fielder's choice is not credited with a hit or a time on base; however, his turn at the plate is recorded as an at bat and plate appearance.
>>66999502
> dad, what's a no hitter?
how do you not know what a hit isnt?
>>66999502
>cubs fans (on /sp/) started watching at the end of last season
Color me surprised
>>66999592
>I don't know son, we're Padres fans.
What's this about Ross getting a HR?
Just got back from work
>tfw knew it wasn't a hit
should praise me desu senpais
Last reds no hitter 1971.
May be their turn
>>66999616
Lifelong fan since 2015.
>>66999643
I'll give you a (you) for your good work
>>66999622
The only team to get no hit by a guy tripping on acid and a guy high on weed.
Anyone else cant stand this guys commercials?
>>66999646
>who is Roy Halladay
>>66999691
here we get thom brenneman hocking HVAC and plumbing services with the spergiest CEO/pitchman in regional advertising history
What a weak effort by the RF
>Cubs 10th run is going to be from a walk
Seems only fitting.
>>66999703

If anyone in the world even cared about Shitshitnati, this would be a bigger deal. But who cares

Should KB do a curtain call for all the Cubs fans in Cincy?

>Cubs outscoring the Reds 35-6 in 4 games this season

I have a few beers in me fortunately.
>>66999932

At one point Reds starting pitcher Hayes had an ERA of 104.
Mercy strike to end the bleeding

That was before this game lel
>>66999999
Cubes confirmed to win the worlds eries
Do you keep Soler in left to give him reps or pull him so he doesn't hurt himself out there?
>>67000031
Yeah, I forgot to mention that. Insane this year.
>>66999999
Those glorious sexts.

It's at +57 now.
you red fans are a fucking embarrassment.
Why don't you go into your mother's drawer, take her plastic cock and strap it to your crotch you pussy fucks.
Get a hit.
Never ever lose faith.
Fuck Chicago.
>>66999999
>new trip get sexts on his first day
>Has about 20 pitches max to get 9 outs
With how large the lead is, will Madden just go 'fuck it' and let Arrieta ride it out until he does give up a hit?
>>67000144
Does that make me a meme? I just put a trip on since I'm in these threads anyways.
>>67000151
madden will more likely than not let him pitch until he gives up a hit. until he gets to like 110 pitches or so then we'll see.
>>67000151
Of course, you don't yank a guy in the middle.
>>67000134
Who is losing faith? We'll be really good in 2 years time. We just have to suffer through this shit for a year or 2.
>>67000177

I see this is your first day here too tripfag.
>>67000233
You are aware that we imploded the team in a firesale for a shitload of prospects, right?
>>67000134
I smell... fear.
>>67000239
Cubs have good announcers, so not really.
94 pitches thru 7
can he finish?
>>66999999
Nice sexts
>>67000273
You caught me, I was sent as a spy by the reddit army. I'm going to take over /sp/ through baseball threads.
>>67000303
obviously
2 strikes
2 Outs
0 balls
9th inning, and the resd get a hit.
>>67000287
>wasting the remaining years of vottos career
>>67000332
ok, smartass, you find a team willing to take on that contract. i'll wait
3BB?
Only 5K?
Whixh really should be 3 looking at this zone.
This game is Humber-tier.
3/10.
Get a hit.
>>67000366
Who's the MLB equivalent to Chip Kelly?
>>67000327
This will definitely happen
>Russell
Dumbass can't get in on the fun
>>67000391
A agree 100%, his game vs the Dodgers was miles ahead of this one
Russel is going to cry in a corner now I think.
>>67000412
Billy Beane
>>67000412
baseball is a different animal, there are no contracts that long in football
>>67000430
Yeah and that wasn't even a no-hitter either lol.
K.hernandez clearly got a base hit.
No one is going to take Votto.
Bruce will be gone soon.
Reds will swallow dicks for a few years.
Then the Eries.
>>67000466
that's not how I remember the game
Let's do this fellas.
HIT HIT HIT HIT HIT HIT HIT HIT HIT
>>67000391
>>67000430
It's not just about strike outs, it's about having the hitters only being able to get infielder grounders.
>>67000480
This.
I get confused how blacks and whites have the same last name. Did Kris Bryant's family own Kobe's back in the day or something?
HIT HIT HIT HIT HIT HIT HIT HIT HIT
HIT HIT HIT HIT HIT HIT HIT HIT HIT
>>67000496

I'm literally betting on the Cubs is every fucking game they play from now on. I'm a reds fan but goddamn the Cubs are unstoppable this year

>CSN is not going to break after the inning ends to let people see Arreita warm up.
I actually see that a ballsy decision by the guy in charge.
>>67000993
Has a cardinals bro ever been a fan of the reds? If no is today an exceptional day?
> you will never be an umpire, given free reign to shit on hot rookie talent to keep them in line

>>67001017

Man this stadium is like borderline Oakland As level of excitement
Did all the Reds fans just leave?
>>67001070
Why wouldn't they?
>>67001070

>dropped third strike
Are you fucking serious? This is possibly the worst any team could possibly do
Good hustle by the Red's Catcher.
>>67001017
hes married I think
>>67001067
I hope Arrieta's career ends abruptly like Brandon Webb's.
are you kidding

>russell still ends the game hitless
JUST
>>67001188
and he blows it. he is going back to the minors after tonight
>>67001117
This is his 6th season. Plus, he's probably the fittest pitcher in baseball. He's definitely in it for the long haul.
>>67001192
he's pretty good, but you have to qualify the fact that it was against >us
trash team
>>67001157
Some soccer player. Which is why it makes me think he's a faggot. Every girl I've ever met show as into soccer has this obsession with being better than men.
He might be a real cuck. Or into forced feminization
>>67001212
Nah. His glove is more important than his bat. He's a top-tier defensive SS.
>>67001215
lol
COME ON JAKE. RIP THEM A NEW ASSHOLE
>>67001007
Maybe in a couple years. He's gotta spend a year or two getting used to MLB before he can catch up to Harper or Trout. He's got the potential though.
Interestingly, Bryant, Harper, and Trout all played baseball together as kids/teens on the same team in Nevada.
