Tough call...no managerial experience at all?? He's done a hell of a job with the pitching staff though. I was pulling for Larkin.

If the attitude of the clubhouse doesn't change, and they don't find some leadership, it won't make a darn bit of difference who the manager is. :2

I wonder how much they are shopping Votto and Phillips right now? It has to be time to consider unloading those two terrible contracts. Surprising before last season, as I thought they got deals on both guys, but it looks more and more like wasted money. :hm

Dusty appears to be on the radar for the Tigers. At least that's the talk. No leaks or official word.

Its old, the thread is dead, I was slowly becoming a bigger Reds fan when: Homer Bailey signs for $105M over 6 years. Just when I thought they had been making fabulous moves, they let Choo go for $120M for 7 years and sign a #3 starter to a gigantic deal after a career 11-13 season. :bh

Homer is a good reliable workhorse. I am glad they signed him.

A "reliable workhorse", with a career .500 record and 4.25 ERA. If he doesn't get much better in a short period of time, its going to be $18.5M a year of wasted money. And that's assuming his elbow issues don't come back. He got paid more for two no-hitters than his entire body of work :2 :sh

Side note: I played the wrong sport, when a guy like Homer signs a $100M+ deal in today's MLB. :bh

I don't care about a pitchers W-L record at all. If your team doesn't score you any runs, you aren't getting a W no matter how good you pitch.

Maybe his WHIP is amazing. ;s


On your side note, you could have tried basketball too. You're tall enough and I'm sure nobody could box you out. Heck Josh Smith doesn't even try when he's on court and the Pistons gave him a 4 year $54 million deal. NBA is nuts with the losers they pay over $10 million/year

Maybe its just me, but the guy is making as much as a former AL and NL MVP, guys with Gold Gloves, Silver Sluggers and multiple All Star Appearances. He has ZERO All-Star appearances, ONE Player of the Week, and a career 49-45 record and a 4.25 ERA. The Reds were notoriously tight, but this contract has me scratching my head. :hm

Bernadina looked good today. I know nothing about him, but if today was his typical self, then I have no problem whatsoever with him on the 25 man roster.

This team will score runs with Jacoby gone and a more aggressive running game.

If Hamilton can get on base, the kid is instant offense. The guys behind him have to get him to the plate. When he gets on, they should have a run most of the time. :2

Getting on base is the problem. Let's hope he doesn't turn into Stubbs 2.0. He runs like Ricky, but can he hit? (Or draw walks)

I watched that game the other day. He stayed down for a long time afterwards. CTrent then blasted Phillips for laughing about the situation. CTrent is such a douche.

elderboy02 03-20-2014 12:31 PM

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 
I like CTrent.

Chapman... ouch....

Brian D. 03-20-2014 01:25 PM

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 
Dan, I hope Chapman recovers fully but who knows? Same thing happened many years ago to a guy from my town, at the minor league level. That was the end of that career, he was sort of slow and would get upset easily for the rest of his life.

kelmac07 03-20-2014 06:39 PM

Hoping Chapman recovers. Vicious comebacker.

Was talking about it yesterday with some of the guys at TPS. I think mentally it will be tougher than physically. Trying to protect himself may become a mental block, slowing down his velocity. Maybe it will help him work on his control, if he loses some speed, and make him more effective when he comes back. :sh

Cueto looked great today! Hope he keeps it up.

Shut out for the first time on Opening Day in 60 years. Fire Price. :)

Hamilton is now 0 for 13. First time on base today. Kid better hurry up and figure it out.

The last thing the Reds need is Stubbs 2.0. :bh

Starscream 04-05-2014 03:40 PM

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 
9th inning was a disaster today. Votto's misplay, Hoover walking two and giving up the grand slam, and Price deciding to not let Lecure go another inning were at fault. It's still early, but after today I am starting to lose some faith in this club.

Maybe he'll work out, but Stubbs is looking good right now compared to Silly Billy.

Leake looking good today. Mesoraco too. And Hamilton is starting to come around.

Yep, that was the shortest sacrifice fly that I have ever seen! :tu

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 
Well today they're whomping heck out of Tampa Bay, after pathetically the last two games. It's like yesterday one person too many said "The Reds can't hit the ball!" and the team took it personally. 12 to 4 right now.

Nice homerun derby last night at GABP :tu

Homer Bailey worth that +$100M yet? 0 wins and an 8.31 ERA, 7 homeruns given up in 16 innings. :bh

Starscream 04-15-2014 05:15 PM

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 
Can we have Stubbs back?
Last night's game was interesting, to say the least. Figures we'd blow it when it resumed today.

Stubbs is batting .167 this season, 18 points higher than Hamilton. ;)

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 
We won a series! Other than Bailey, our rotation has been great, and the offense is starting to come around. We may get out of the gutter soon.

Cuteo looked great. Votto is certainly doing good in the 2nd spot! :tu

Well, last night wasn't a very good one for the Redlegs.

Starscream 04-22-2014 02:36 PM

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 
Last night was rough. Offense has come around, but the bullpen is killing us.

elderboy02 04-22-2014 08:37 PM

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 
Cueto dominated tonight :tu

Brian D. 04-23-2014 12:38 PM

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 
Pitching a complete game is the only way to be sure your bullpen won't blow the win...:D

Reds have moved up some in the standings...or you could look at it as one or two of the division's perennial cellar dwellers are on their way down as usual.

We look a lot better than we did a few weeks ago, but we'll be lucky to see this team make even a wildcard spot. Lots of good things going for this team right now, but a lot of crap to balance it back out to make a mediocre ballclub.

I know it's still early, but it looks like Atlanta is gonna be a threat this year to go deep in the playoffs.

Yeah, they are pretty darn good. Hopefully we can beat the Cubbies again.

Ironic that this could be said twice in the same week, with the meaning being 180 degrees different the second time. Ugh!
