Baseball Tonight to talk to Arroyo shortly

[CincyRedsFan30]

It sounds like they will talk to Bronson Arroyo later in the show as part of their new "talk to players and staff" part of the show. Just a FYI.

[VI_RedsFan]

Thanks CRF30. I'll be checking that out.

[CincyRedsFan30]

Arroyo says the HR were "nice."

He says he played SS through High School and usually made contact on the fastball. No chance with sliders though.

Says Narron says he will be the DH during interleague. ;)

Gammons thinks he's more "over the top" so far with his pitches this year. He says he's tough and will battle for his teammates. He says they will die for him.

Kruk says he'll help a player out if they get hit by a pitch.

Reynolds says he'll be a dynamite pitcher in the NL.

And that was that basically.

BT to talk to Arroyo shortly...for a short time too...what was that? 45 second interview?

[jhiller21]

Reynolds says he'll be a dynamite pitcher in the NL.

He makes a good point, Arroyo's one of those pitchers you have to learn. He's throwing 3 pitches at various speeds and arm angles, and he can be pretty tough on righties. He may just thrive in the NL central, and will be a big upgrade for us against guys like D. Lee and Pujols.

Gotta get back to chatting about the Yankees and Red Sox

Gotta get back to chatting about the Yankees and Red Sox

Yep, and you know the only reason they interviewed him is cause he was a former Sox man. And that whole "only the second pitcher to hit HRs in first 2 starts of the season" thing. Dang big market bias...

[George Foster]

hey, it's nice to see the Reds highlighted on Baseball tonight. I hope to see it alot this season.

Eddie's grand slam wasn't even mentioned, don't hold your breath :)

Yes I was steamed when they didn't show it.

[dougdirt]

I still havent seen Edwins slam on any highlights....has anyone actually seen it?

[Tornon]

It was on 1 AM edition of sportscenter, it was sometime within the first 10 minutes

[MartyFan]

Well, you'd figure if a guy hits a Grand Slam it might get mentioned on a show called Baseball Tonight...not to mention the Reds hit a total of Six homers off Cubs pitching...but I can see where that would not be worth mentioning. :rolleyes: ESPN SUCKS

[Neo]

Was it even on Touch em all?

[dman]

Was it even on Touch em all?
Nope. I was kinda' frosted over that one.

[smith288]

Touch 'em all should have just said the "Reds" and showed all 6 in a quick series. but nooooooo... gotte get in Josh Beckett and his near historic start... :rolleyes:

[KearnsyEars]

Yeah and they only showed dunn's 2nd homer that barely got out. Didn't get to see the first that was supposively a moonshot to dead center that lands where balls don't usually land in those center field bleachers at wrigley.

I miss the going, going, gone on BBTN where they listed every homer.

[TeamBoone]

Actually, it landed on top of the Batter's Eye.

But yeah, I sure do agree with all of you. For such a tremendous game, the Reds were certainly shunned.

[registerthis]

But, hey, the Sox used Jonathon Pappelbon to close the game--that's HUGE.

[traderumor]

Don't Boston fans complain that ESPN favors the Yankees and Mets?

yes i saw it this morning on espn. i didn't see dunn's first of the day though. it would have been nice to see how far it went.
