That's Dan's line.

If he can keep laying down a bunt like he did yesterday, his K rate will go down drastically.

That was one of the best push bunts I've seen in a while.

An ugly loss tonight. Our new potential "ace" only goes 4 2/3 innings.
Why did we even bother claiming Simon off of waivers? I'll be p!ssed if I ever see him on the mound for us again (unless it's already a lost cause).

Still, there are some positives. Votto got his first HR out of the way, as did Cozart with a HR and a triple.

Cozart sure did look great!

Latos just couldn't get his breaking ball working tonight. He kept coming up short on the pitch so they weren't even swinging at it.

Cozart is dang impressive so far. Nice to see some hyped talent live up to it (at least in his limited exposure) after being force fed Stubbs, Bruce and Bailey as future HOF'ers.

To be fair, Meseraco kept calling for breaking balls, even though Latos couldn't get 'em over the plate in the 5th inning. Not sure if that is Meseraco's call or someone in the dugout. Either way, Latos doesn't shake off pitch calls very much.

Maybe they are back to getting lucky like they did two years ago and all the bounces at the end of the games will go their way. Last season was a little bit more of a reality check, maybe today is the start of getting lucky at the end of games again.

They had the most 9th inning wins last year too. Tied with Atl.

Makes it nice to be in such a weak division with no real shut-down closers.

Thanks Hugh! This looks to be the year that the Reds could make the playoffs again, and could possibly (I know I'm drinking the Kool-Aid) make the WS.

I've been thinking about ordering some Vottos cereal, but Hugh already took care of that for me, plus some smokes and a cozy. I'm forever grateful, brother.

elderboy02 · 04-09-2012, 10:32 PM

Nice hit by a great BOTL on a great BOTL

chippewastud79 · 04-10-2012, 02:23 PM

Phillips gets his extension.

Starscream · 04-10-2012, 04:25 PM

Six years at $72.5 mil or is it $75 mil. Either way it's looking good now, but we're gonna struggle in about 4 to 5 years down the road. Even so, I'm glad of both the Votto and Phillips signing.

elderboy02 · 04-10-2012, 05:02 PM

I love seeing Phillips getting his extension!

The other teams are sure gonna have a hard time getting a hit on the right side of the infield for a long time

hotreds · 04-10-2012, 06:31 PM

Yup- management has done their part. Now, let's see if the players can earn their keep and do theirs!
