  Gomes. He was still there during Stubbs' at bat and was forced out at home.

  Every part of homer pence's game is ugly. Runs weird, swings weird and throw is ugly!!
• charliehustle14

  Well Bruce effed up that easy RBI chance.

  I think it's the right thing to take him out with 95 pitches, the same as he threw last week in his six inning stint. With his recent history of shoulder issues, and another inning not being valuable to the team effort with the big lead and the bullpen not under duress, taking him out seems to be proper.

  Gomes 3 hits?????

  Had to have 3 of something didn't he

  With a runner on 3rd and less than 2 out, Bruce and Gomes would be the two players I would have the least confidence in to get the run in, and this inning is an example of why!
• charliehustle14

  Jay Bruce pressed away too hard to get a flyball in that situation. Chased one out of the zone and hit a shallow fly to LF. Gomes is just not seeing anything, he's lucky to have the 2 hits.
• charliehustle14

  Epic failure by the Reds that inning.
• Midstate01

  

  Swung at way too many bad pitches that inning.
• charliehustle14

  With a lot of rest, I expect Chapman to hit 134.
  
  or walk the lead off hitter on 4 pitches.
• charliehustle14

  Chapman has gotta start throwing strikes. 7-0 game or not, this is ridiculous.
• wildcats20

  

  Has he thrown a stirke yet?
• charliehustle14

  Get his ass out of there please. Don't make this a ballgame.
• Terry_Tate

  

  Man when Chapman is off, he's waaay off.

  Maybe 2 or 3 thru 4 batters. Just got a gift call on strike 2 to Sanchez.
• wildcats20

  

  Wow.
  
  Make the move NOW Dusty. Don't ruin a GREAT day from Homer.

  Yeah, I saw the Sanchez AB. Wasn't sure about the first 2 guys though.
  
  
  Man oh man that was ugly.
• Terry_Tate

  

  Thank goodness he took him out before that got any worse.
• charliehustle14

  Maybe this is Chapman's way of getting an early start on that modeling career he's always dreamed of. smh.
• charliehustle14

  Just fucking great. What an epic fail so far this inning. Can't score runners on 1st and 3rd with 0 outs and then give up 3 runs with no outs recorded.
