Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

I like the fact that he got pissed off and cussed his team out after Saturday's debacle.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

:r So true. Since 1999, why do we even bother?

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

I like that as well. Show some fire! :tu

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Nice to see Harang get his first win of the season last night, and probably the first one in a while. He pitched pretty well it appears. :tu

Maybe if they can start playing better against decent teams, instead of just the crappy ones, they have a shot at moving up in the division. The division is shaping up to be exceptionally weak so far this season.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

That's his second win since May 25th of last year. First was Aug last year, the second was yesterday.:td

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Cincinnati is in the top three most hated teams in baseball supposedly. I don't agree at all and think the results are either made up or biased.
http://cincinnati.com/blogs/reds/201...aseball-teams/

Boston is number 2, but how are the Yanks and Dodgers not in the top three?:confused:
Indians and the Reds? America start hating Ohio all of a sudden? How can you hate the Reds (a team that hasn't had a winning record in ten years)? You hate the teams who dominate and win all the time, unless you are a bandwagon fan (or grew up in that area). What gives?

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

I have no idea Andy. They mentioned this on the talk radio show yesterday. It has to be false. What the hell did the Reds do?

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

The Reds suck, even the 'fans' hate the Reds. It could stem from old hatred of the Big Red Machine. :hm

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Nice win by the Reds :tu

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Nice little streak going here....unfortunately it's just the Astros. We'll just call it a confidence builder lol. Kind of nice to see a starter get into the 7th inning.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Can't imagine this is a real shocker that they are beating a terrible team. It would be nice to see them win one at St. Louis. :tu

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

:tpd:

True test comes tonight and the weekend. :gl

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Really....any 4 game winning streak with this team has to be a surprise regardless of who ever it is against!

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

:r

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Well...what a surprise. The bullpen implodes again :hn

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

As always. Masset needs to go! But they recieved no help from the offense either yesterday. Three hits and no runs is just bad, even if it was against Carpenter. Carpenter looked off yesterday, yet we looked like a little league team against him.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

We had a 4-2 road trip. I'll take that :tu

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Yeah, but it started 4-0!

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Two in a row (losses). How does this impact our return home against the Mets who are hot right now? Does Dusty pump them up again or do we continue on a downward spiral?

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

I sat through a whole game of three hit baseball when they got drug by the Padres. Its pathetic. :bh

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Nice comeback in the 11th to get the win. Masset looked decent for a change.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

:banger

Leake has some great movement on his pitches.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

You win one, you lose one.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Not bad not bad. I'm really liking Phillips in the #2 hole

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

I thought he was back in the 4 spot today, but I agree, he is a better hitter in the 2 spot. Media is going crazy on his lack of hustle yesterday. BP is my favorite player but he's gotta wake up and quit showboating.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

I listened to the game today at work. The Cowboy Jeff Brantley got so damn excited when he hit the HR in the 11th. The Cowboy is awesome to listen to.

Reds Win! Reds Win! :banger

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Hell, that was a WELL hit ball. I probably would have left the box like that too. Oh well, I think Dusty can be a little dramatic at times too.

Edit: he was in the 4 spot today. I'm with you Andy I like him better in the 2 hole.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Dusty and John Fay. Fay (of the Cincy Enquirer) seems to have it out for BP this year ever since BP snubbed him during spring training. Fay doesn't know how to take a joke.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Nice to see the graphic at the start of the game today showing that the Reds have the worst leadoff hitters in the MLB. Stubbs et al. are batting a combined .149 in the leadoff spot. :td

Also nice to see Homer reaffirming my assertion that his ass should be back in Louisville. :bh

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Final line for Homer : 4 IP, 7 ER, 5 Hits, 5 Walks, 3 Strikeouts.

Looks to be on his way to 0'fer the season thus far. Send his ass back to Louisville. :td


Nice debut by the rookie Castro tonight. HR and a triple 6 RBI's already. :jd

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

You think they'll put BP in the leadoff spot?

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

It sounded in the interview with the GM that they have no idea who to put there, no one in Triple A and no one to trade for. The have Cabrera there tonight and he is 1 for 3 so he is beating the average. :rolleyes:

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

No one in AAA is hitting well right now :td

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

:tu

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

:r:r:r

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

lol, you would send everyone's ass back to triple A

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Not everyone, just (in order of priority) Stubbs, Bailey and Bruce. Stubbs has a lower BA than 3 of their pitchers and has started 27 of 29 games. Bailey has shown one quality start in 7 and didn't even win that one and Bruce, finally decided he wants to play baseball but I am still cautious of him. :2

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Cabrera ended 2 for 5 so he was way ahead of the average. :tu

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

I'm starting to agree with Stubbs and Bailey.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Stubbs ranks 15th (yes 15th) on the team in BA and is still an everyday player. Assuming there are 8 positions that should have decent BA's he is batting like the 7th best pinch hitter but he batted leadoff for too many games and is still in the 7 spot. He doesn't play great defense and gets on base about 1 out of 5 chances. Why is he an everyday player? :confused:

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Only 3.5 games back. It's still anyone's season from this point, but we have a lot of bugs to work out.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

This might be a year where the Reds could suprise if the division continues to be as crappy as it is right now, I am very suprised that the division is so bad. They are going to need to find a 4th and 5th starter though as the season goes on, thus far they have very few outings where everything has worked for them. Also the Reds have won 9 games of their 16 in the last at bat of the game, good for now, but you won't always end up winning in those situations. :tu

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Nice win yesterday :banger

I am glad to see that Gomes is finally starting to hit again. Joey Votto has gotten into a nice groove as well.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Nice 1-hit shutout tonight by Cueto :banger

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Heisey with a HR last night. :tu
Cueto looked great too, but it was against the Bucs...

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

back to back shutouts!
back to back complete games by starting pitchers!

Is this the Reds?

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Sweep! Sweep! :banger

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

No its the Pirates. This division is horrid right now, particularly the bottom of it. ;)

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Nice to see Bailey bring his ERA DOWN to 5.66 and Stubbs bring his BAvg. to almost .200 against the Pirates today. I am still not sold on either of these two bums:td

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Only 1 game back from first place!:banger This weekend's series will determine who is the division leader (at least temporarily). I hate to say it, but I think it'll be just like the last two, we'll win one, then the Redbirds will win the other two.
