Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

And we as fans gotta do our part to help pay the bill.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Man, Cozart has this thing figured out!

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Another walkoff.
Too bad this one was given to us on a silver platter with Berkman and Freese out of the lineup and we still barely pulled it off.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Reds Win! Reds Win! :5smilies:

Hey, with the way they have played so far, any win is a good win. ;)

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

We actually did get some hits today for once. Valdez looked great with a push bunt and a squeeze bunt. Stubbs got on base twice, and Heisey actually came through for once.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Great game guys! I came in at the 7th and it was a close one!

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

If Berkman, Freese, and Beltran were in the lineup, I don't think it would have been as close. Still, Cueto and Chapman pitched a good game. Pitching was good on both sides, despite what the Cards broadcast team said.:)

Reds win! Reds win! :banger :tu :banger :tu :banger

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Good to see Stubbs back in the leadoff role :bh

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

:( :( :( :( :(

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

He wasn't too bad yesterday, but he looked absolutely foolish once again today. I'm through with this cat. Ship his ass down to Louisville.

Dusty must have wanted to go back to the hotel early b/c no one in their right mind would have put piece of shyte Simon on the mound in a tie game.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

:r

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Stubbs is just not a good baseball player, his 'defense' doesn't even come close to making up for his more than 1K per game and less than 1 time getting to 1st base in a game. He couldn't hit in the minors, and still struck out, but they decide to throw him in the big show anyways. :bh


It makes you wonder how Chapman is going to fair over the course of the season when they couldn't use him a 3rd day in a row. :sh

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Chapman's in the pen. He shouldn't have been used three days straight. Dusty messed up big time putting Simon in, but he was right not to use Chapman.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

But when people call for him to be a closer, he would have to pitch multiple days in a row. A lot of set-up men can pitch an inning, 3 days in a row. People want him to be a starter, but he can't last 100 pitches and needs a full 5 days rest. :sh

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Neither can Bailey and Latos at this point. I'd take Chappy over either of them.
Latos can't make it past the fifth in his first two starts. Bailey just sucks. Chapman has been great so far, it's time to stretch him back out and put him as the fourth starter in the rotation.
Cueto, Arroyo, Chapman, Leake, and Latos. I could live with that order for our rotation.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

This is a Reds, not a Black Hawks thread!

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Dusty causes us to lose two straight. Arroyo should have finished the 8th, then Marshall in the ninth. We would have won 1-0.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Agreed.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

BC has signed both Votto and Phillips longterm and is wondering why fans won't put asses in seats. Maybe if he put Chapman in the rotation, then he would sell more tickets. Remember Chapman sold out when he made his debut, and attendance was pretty high when he made his '11 debut. People will pay money to see a guy pitch between 96-106. Look in Washington, Strassburg has sold plenty of seats for their organization. Win or lose, if BC wants attendance up, put Chappy in the rotation.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

I blame Dan's boy. O'fer 11 in the series with 6 K's. A great leadoff hitter, future HOF'er. :bh

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Chapman in the rotation only works if he is pitching well. The problem I forsee is, when he gets a little worn down or later in the games when he starts getting tagged. No one comes to watch Homer Bailey, who is barely a decent AAA pitcher, and he was 'the next big thing' coming thru the organization at one point in time. :2

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

That was the worst game of the year so far. When are the bats gonna wake up? I'm about sick of this already.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Stubbs bat did wake up. 1-14 in the series, 7K's :td


The pitching was supposed to be the issue, unfortunately, they can't hit anything right now. :sh

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Reds win! Reds win! :noon:noon:noon:banger:tu

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Votto!

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

More than decent pitching this year (despite some setbacks), but the offense just can't pull through in the long run. Ludwick hits a grand slam and we go to extra innings again? Wow...

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Hopefully after the day off our bats will start to wake up.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Good series so far :bh

Stubbs does have 2 hits to raise his average almost 50 points in two games. Almost back to .200 :tu

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

4-8 and 5 games back. We are really sucking right now...

Re: Red's Fans Check in

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Last night was terrible. Didn't see today's game.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Reds win! Reds win! :banger :tu :banger :tu

Stubbs had a great game today including a HR :)

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

You still want the bet that Stubbs won't hit .315?;)

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Today's notable fact: The win today against the Cubs was the Cincinnati Reds' 10,000th win.

Nice!

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

I'll bet that Stubbs won't hit .315!:)

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Dan won't. ;s

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Nice that the wind was 35 mph blowing in for 'Fly Ball' Bailey. Hopefully the series against the terrible Cubs will boost their confidence. :tu

I also found it odd and funny that Dusty claimed he was the manager of the Giants when they won their 10,000 game. Really, Dusty? :td

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Congrats on 10,000 guys!

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Larry:- ok, Adam: Possibly Dusty was the Gints' mamager when they one number 10,000- remember they were in NY from early in the '00s.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

The San Fancisco (New York baseball) Giants won their 10,000th game in 2005, 3 years after Dusty left. ;)

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Oh, well.... poor Dusty- I can vouch that memory fades once you hit 50!

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Reds win! Reds win! :banger :tu :banger :tu :banger

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

PWI, Hugh?:D
Gints'
mamager
"one"


Just messin' with ya.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Not today. Leake was throwing BP to the Cubbies.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Bailey was yesterday too, but the wind howling straight in helped. ;)

I really thought they would be sweeping the Cubs with them coming off 6 straight losses on a road trip. :sh

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Gints yes- others shame on me!

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

6 Straight? They beat the Cards in the last game.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

The Cubs, they were playing bad, but they found a way to beat the Reds. :confused:
