Hey, you get 9 innings. Who says you have to establish a lead early?

The odds

elderboy02 · 05-19-2010, 09:21 AM

I guess I just have a hard time seeing any negative in what they are doing right now. Just keep winning

The odds are normally against late inning wins, but the Braves of the 90s made it popular to win in the bottom of the ninth.

All in good fun, Andy, all in good fun.

All in good fun, but it's quite accurate too.

The Reds are not the Braves of the 90s, and that's what worries me about this team not scoring early in the game.

Not to worry, Andy...not many teams are "the Braves of the '90s".

I believe they now have double digit wins in their last at bat of the game. This will definitely catch up with them, particularly as bad as their bullpen has been.

Yeah it's up to 10 now. That's what I was saying, eventually it will catch up to them. They are playing with fire right now and fortunately coming out on the right end.

Harang stinking it up tonight in the first...

Third game I get to see televised, and it would be Harang. I get all the Braves games on tv, but no Cincy games. Thank God for MLBAudio.

Starscream · 05-19-2010, 08:09 PM

Harang didn't look too bad after the first, but the damage is already done...

elderboy02 · 05-19-2010, 08:34 PM

How did we get the 3 runs? I missed it.

smitdavi · 05-19-2010, 09:06 PM

Need I say more

elderboy02 · 05-19-2010, 10:26 PM

Eh... we are allowed to lose some every now and then. We only lost by 1 run.

Good luck with that, Dan.

Oh the eternal optimist. The bullpen blows it and you are happy? This bullpen is suspect at best.

By the way, notice how a young rookie outfielder who is an everyday player is supposed to play. Heyward is the fricken man, he makes our young outfielders look like crap.

I am the eternal optimist and you are the eternal pessimist. It is what it is.

I don't think our bullpen is terrible.

Can't be as bad as the Cubs'.

I love when the Reds play the Cubs b/c it is so much fun to watch Lou stir around in the dugout and see how pissed he gets when his relievers walk someone.

I am the eternal realist, you are ready to give them the penant. It is what it is.

And statistically they have the 25th worst bullpen in baseball. One ahead of the Cubbies
