Unfortunately that's not reviewable because it's before the ball gets to the bag. You'd also think the umpire would scream foul ball and there wouldn't have even been a play at 1B.

Man Lopez looks good, hoping hes our #5 next year.

He Gone 

Wow umps really tried to fuck us again there. That's clearly a strike without the check swing. 

Bottle this version of ReyLo up for the playoffs and next season, please.

The most impressive part of the ReyLo outing may well be his pitch count.

I'd send him back out for the 6th with a very tight leash. If he's not maintaining his stuff, you pull him. The Reds hit a couple of balls real hard that last inning.

Lopez is proof positive nobody knows jack shit about baseball all the time.

Man, I'll go with no thank you on that one. A FIP of 4 isn't bad, but I'm not banking on 55 innings of 4 FIP reylo to maintain over a full season.

Results matter and happy he's doing well, but even tonight he's been more lucky than good.

Great takes by Luis. 

Love to see Robert laying off those sliders

the only thing standing between robert and an 8 WAR season is health.

Lopez has been a significantly above average pitcher this year in ERA, FIP, xFIP, xERA, strikeout rate, etc etc etc. By results, he absolutely deserves a shot in the rotation next year and even in the playoffs if Rodon can't go.

I need a much bigger tv to see whatever those stats were after every pitch.

Leury nearly had it.

Still not a smart send with no outs.  Joe has been trigger happy this season waiving guys home.

pretty good crowd on hand.

This is easily his best outing since the 5 perfect innings against the Cubs. The Reds have a .195 xBA, so it's not like they're lining everything at people. 

I agree though, Lopez should be a backup plan next year. Not a 5th starter.

bat slowed by pain I'd imagine.

It's pretty clear that he's a fundamentally different pitcher now. His mechanics are dramatically different than they were at any point until this season. He's never had a combination of stuff & command this crisp in his career until now.

jason and stone are cornier than a bag of fritos.

Jose needs a day off.
