[redsfan_12]

Game 1 in the pressbox!!! Lets goooooo :beerme:

[Kiss the Baby00]

braves have won the last 9 times medlen has started. lets go reds, break the streak!

[bshall2105]

Jayson Heyward will hit three home runs tonight, all solo shots. Reds lose 3-2.

[redsfan_12]

Jayson Heyward will hit three home runs tonight, all solo shots. Reds lose 3-2.

:confused:

[Maker_84]

Jayson Heyward will hit three home runs tonight, all solo shots. Reds lose 3-2.

wouldn't surprise me. Our record against winning teams isn't good to say the least

[Redlegs_87]

wouldn't surprise me. Our record against winning teams isn't good to say the least

Braves record on the road is pretty bad so it is a push between the two I think. Accuscore gives reds 60 percent chance of winning tonight.

[redsfan_12]

nice crowd already here tonight

[BringDownMugabe]

The "All Star" pops out. 3-1 and he swung at Ball 4. Real All Stars don't do that.

[redsfan_12]

where is everyone?

[redsfan_12]

Terrible AB jonny..looked at the 1st two down the shoot and swings at one 3 ft in the dirt.

[redsfan_12]

Go sit down too Jay

[redsfan_12]

jesus..3 outfielders, 3 Ks

[BringDownMugabe]

Does anybody know what Thom keeps saying the trade deadline is tonight? Isn't it tomorrow at 4:00 PM?

[GIDP]

Is this the strike zone of the 1800s when a battter could tell the pitcher were he wanted it?

[BringDownMugabe]

Did MLB Network really cut-out mid-pitch to watch A-Roid attempt 600 for the zillionth time?

[redsfan_12]

we are getting 0 calls

[BurgervilleBuck]

Just got that one there.

[redsfan_12]

yes!!! nice Ocab!!!

[BurgervilleBuck]

Yes! WTG Cabrera! 1-1

[BurgervilleBuck]

Me love Joey Votto long time! 2-1 Redlegs.

[Magdal]

we are getting 0 callsBalk and a bloop! And now a real hit!:thumbup:

[redsfan_12]

Joey Joey!!

[redsfan_12]

Yes!!!! a little 2 out rally!!!!!

[BurgervilleBuck]

3-1! Keep Rolen Rolen Rolen Rolen!

[BurgervilleBuck]

And Gomes spoils the fun. But a good inning.

[redsfan_12]

I hope everyone is at the game..Im suprised im able to get thru on here.

[Magdal]

My, my...some nights the Reds can really pound that ball. In St. Louis they will be pounding a wet ball. (rain delay)

[redsrolen]

Hello Boys! Late getting here, so far so good! Now lets get the bottom of the order going!!

[Magdal]

I think Berkman just went to the Yanks. FYI.

[TheBigLebowski]

Nice job by Razor there..single brings up the pitcher, which means he doesn't have to lead off next inning.

[Magdal]

Hello Boys! Late getting here, so far so good! Now lets get the bottom of the order going!!Did you bring a note?

[redsfan_12]

damnit

[Magdal]

Oswalt is getting SHELLED in his 1st start.;)

[Dale4Saul2Red0]

This is going to be a good series. I expect a lot of close down to the wire games.

[kentjett]

Gomes should have had that Chipper single

[GIDP]

People say Gomes D isnt bad? Turned a pop fly into a single and now a run scored after the homer.

[Dale4Saul2Red0]

That wasn't a bad pitch at all, but just a great piece of hitting from McCann

[BurgervilleBuck]

That was not a strike?

[redsfan_12]

God Johnny..Can you not get the bottom of the freaking order out?!?

[redsfan_12]

hit the damn pitcher..get him out dusty

[Redlegs_87]

Grand slam coming up

[Dale4Saul2Red0]

hit the damn pitcher..get him out dusty

Why? The first 2 hits from the Braves were luckbox hits. Not like they are roping the ball off of him right now.

[BurgervilleBuck]

That's Cueto's night done for.

[redsfan_12]

Why? The first 2 hits from the Braves were luckbox hits. Not like they are roping the ball off of him right now.

hes allowed 10 hits and at 110 pitches? Thats why

[Dale4Saul2Red0]

Prado gets wood on a ball that was way out of the zone, ughhhh

[Dale4Saul2Red0]

Could Atlanta get any luckier in an inning???

[redsfan_12]

Nice job Billy!

[redsfan_12]

dont walk him Bill

[RedsFanInBama]

Could Atlanta get any luckier in an inning???

Johnny did compound the issue by hitting their pitcher. Can't call that luck.

[TheBigLebowski]

Bill Bray = useless.

[RedsFanInBama]

Bray's about to give it up.

[BurgervilleBuck]

Same pitch, different call. Get a little consistent, ump.

[redsfan_12]

very nice job..loaded, no outs, hold em to 1

[Redlegs_87]

Bruce and Stubbs are killing me.

[BurgervilleBuck]

Wow. Bases loaded twice and the Braves only get one run. How is that for failure?

Now the Reds just need to get the bats working.

[Dale4Saul2Red0]

I'll take giving 1 run in that inning 10 times out of 10

[BurgervilleBuck]

Bruce and Stubbs are killing me.

Don't forget Gomes.

[Redlegs_87]

Don't forget Gomes.

Gomes at least has been productive at other points in the year stubbs and bruce have been absolute sink holes in Reds batting order.

[RedsFanInBama]

This guy's zone sucks.

[redsfan_12]

good hitting from Gomes today

[redsrolen]

Did you bring a note?

yes, a little late in answering, no one would talk to me so I went to play poker! Now we need to get serious!!

[BurgervilleBuck]

Gomes at least has been productive at other points in the year stubbs and bruce have been absolute sink holes in Reds batting order.

I'm talking about tonight.

[TheBigLebowski]

I'm almost to the point where I am happy to write off Gomes and Stubbs. Bruce, for some reason, inspires patience in me.

[Redlegs_87]

I'm talking about tonight.

Yeah but I don't hold it against him he is just having a slump he'll break out of. Stubbs and Bruce show no signs of breaking out of theirs.

[redsfan_12]

0-9 from our brilliant outfielding core...piss poor

[Krawhitham]

I'm talking about tonight.

The ultimate what have you done for me lately

[redsrolen]

0-9 from our brilliant outfielding core...piss poor

AGREE!

[BurgervilleBuck]

0-9 from our brilliant outfielding core...piss poor

Don't forget Gomes.

[redsfan_12]

theres a hit..cmon Brandon!

[redsrolen]

NIXEY!!!!:beerme:

[redsfan_12]

Whens the last time Ocab went deep??

[redsrolen]

Awhile!

[rolenmvp]

I don't wanna sound mean or rude but, walt has got to do something, other teams are making moves to improve their chances and we are sitting on our rear-ends doing nothing right now.

[redsfan_12]

please get on..let Joey have a chance with runners OB

[redsfan_12]

I don't wanna sound mean or rude but, walt has got to do something, other teams are making moves to improve their chances and we are sitting on our rear-ends doing nothing right now.

I agree.

[rolenmvp]

I mean redsfan, it's pathetic dude, I love the reds more than anybody in this world but, you have to make a move to beat these cardinals, you just have to.

[Magdal]

yes, a little late in answering, no one would talk to me so I went to play poker! Now we need to get serious!!Poker Stars or Full tilt? What's your screne name?

[Magdal]

I agree.Oddly, the Reds, Braves and Cards have made no moves. Puzzling.

[redsrolen]

Bodog, "Imyourhuklbry," was fulltilt, but they wont take old macs anymore!

[redsfan_12]

Poker Stars or Full tilt? What's your screne name?

im herdfan_12 on pokerstars if you have it..add me

[redsfan_12]

damn you Cabrera.

[Magdal]

Bodog, "Imyourhuklbry," was fulltilt, but they wont take old macs anymore!OK...I gave up on Bodog. (I should give up on them all!):(

[rolenmvp]

Oddly, the Reds, Braves and Cards have made no moves. Puzzling.

just sickening to think about. WE ARE IN A PLAYOFF RACE!!! and walt is still doing nothing right now.

[GIDP]

Gomes at least has been productive at other points in the year stubbs and bruce have been absolute sink holes in Reds batting order.

Gomes OPS by month: .620, 1.056, .704, .704

:laugh: yea productive and playing productive defense.

[GIDP]

Whens the last time Ocab went deep??

May 5th

[redsfan_12]

May 5th

I was there :thumbup:

[redsrolen]

I dont play that much anymore, mostly my husband, it kind of bores me, too expensive! We share a computer, Iv'e been too cheap to buy another, will have to give in soon, he wants to play now,Im out for now, By guys, GO REDS!!!

[GIDP]

I was there :thumbup:

Maybe you should go back.

[Dale4Saul2Red0]

You don't make a move just to make a move

[redsfan_12]

ugh

[redsfan_12]

Maybe you should go back.

Im there now lol

[Magdal]

im herdfan_12 on pokerstars if you have it..add meWill do...what do you play mostly?

[BUTLER REDSFAN]

Cabrera, Stubbs, Bruce,Hernandez,and most of the time Gomes are just automatic outs...
If we dont score after Rolen's at bat there is no chance to score.

[Jefferson24]

I don't wanna sound mean or rude but, walt has got to do something, other teams are making moves to improve their chances and we are sitting on our rear-ends doing nothing right now.



I agree. The reds can improve their chances but at what costs? This team is not good enough to win the central, they may come close but they will fall short. Is Walt playing for 2011 or 2010? No moves equals 2011. I think I am okay with playing for 2011, getting close sure stirs emotions but it's important to think big picture here.

[redsfan_12]

Will do...what do you play mostly?

1.10 turbos. 45 players

[redsfan_12]

Joey, Scotty, Jonny..lets get 2!!

[Magdal]

I agree. The reds can improve their chances but at what costs? This team is not good enough to win the central, they may come close but they will fall short. Is Walt playing for 2011 or 2010? No moves equals 2011. I think I am okay with playing for 2011, getting close sure stirs emotions but it's important to think big picture here.The sportwriters and call in radio shows AND the online forums MUST make noise about this. It really does have an effect when the fans start *****in'.

But I'm told that Cincy is more interested in the Football.

[redsfan_12]

I love you joey!!!!!!!

[Magdal]

1.10 turbos. 45 playersI assume Hold 'em...play Omaha at all?

[Jefferson24]

Votto!!!!!!

[FlyerFanatic]

sign votto long term right now. dude is a keeper

[GIDP]

Im there now lol

Ok well Vottos should do then.

[Dale4Saul2Red0]

Vottttttttttttttttttttttttttto

[redsfan_12]

I assume Hold 'em...play Omaha at all?

occasionally...i know how to play it though.

[rolenmvp]

welcome to the big leagues venters..

[redsfan_12]

[rolenmvp]

[Jefferson24]

[BUTLER REDSFAN]

bruce is an absolute mess at the plate

[Krawhitham]

he is missing the ball by a foot

[rolenmvp]

just strike out bruce...my gosh man, just strikeout...

[Jefferson24]

this gets real freakin OLD!

[redsfan_12]

damnit to hell..wasnt even close.

[rolenmvp]

bruce is just terrible at the plate right now...

[FlyerFanatic]

does bruce watch tape? hes looking real bad

[BUTLER REDSFAN]

he strikes out at least twice a game and now this makes 3---why couldnt heisey pinch hit

[rolenmvp]

BRUCE YOU SUCK!!!!

[rolenmvp]

jk haha, but seriously, he needs to improve, his plate discipline is crazy.

[Krawhitham]

The lineup needs changed, they have two automatic outs back to back

[BLEEDS]

Oh come on guys! That pitcher is T.O.U.G.H. on Lefties. Give Bruce a break v. that guy.

PEACE

-BLEEDS

[FlyerFanatic]

unreal....

[redsfan_12]

pathetic...watch here..story of our season. We come back...and give it right back. Im tellin ya..right here

[Jefferson24]

stubbs sucks too, big surprise

[RedsFanInBama]

The outfield comes through again.

[Krawhitham]

Oh come on guys! That pitcher is T.O.U.G.H. on Lefties. Give Bruce a break v. that guy.

PEACE

-BLEEDS

He was real tough on Votto

[rolenmvp]

UNREAL BRUCE AND STUBBS!!!! unreal.... WALT PLEASE GET A FLIPPIN BAT!!

[BUTLER REDSFAN]

i am sick and tired of what seems like every game we have runners on with bruce and stubbs and get nothing every freaking time

[FlyerFanatic]

again, bruce needs to be watching tape in the dugout. he looks god awful at the plate

[Krawhitham]

UNREAL BRUCE AND STUBBS!!!! unreal.... WALT PLEASE GET A FLIPPIN BAT!!

Who is left on the market?

[GIDP]

I wish we didnt have 2 players that were boarderline AAA players.

[GIDP]

and I'm not talking about Bruce or Stubbs.

[George Foster]

UNREAL BRUCE AND STUBBS!!!! unreal.... WALT PLEASE GET A FLIPPIN BAT!!

Bruce has only 3 RBI's more than Orlando C. Stubbs has 3 HR's more than Bruce. Bruce is what he is..... above average in the field, 8 hole hitter.

[Jefferson24]

1 for freakin 30? Come on Stubbs! Better yet, come on Dusty and Walt! Time to try some Dickerson.

[BUTLER REDSFAN]

Cabrera, Stubbs, Bruce,Hernandez,and most of the time Gomes are just automatic outs...
If we dont score after Rolen's at bat there is no chance to score.

I hate being right sometimes

[FlyerFanatic]

1 for freakin 30? Come on Stubbs! Better yet, come on Dusty and Walt! Time to try some Dickerson.

heisey who is even up and ready to play even. him and janish cry each other to sleep at night wondering if they'll sniff playing time

[Magdal]

Ok well Vottos should do then.OK, watch the chatbox, I'm gonna watch and learn....be there in 2 min.;)

[Jefferson24]

Who is left on the market?

Dickerson

[Krawhitham]

Come on Sir Arthur

[redsfan_12]

IF we can get by this inning without giving up a run, we will win.

[Krawhitham]

Dickerson

What for 5 games before he gets hurt again

[Jefferson24]

heisey who is even up and ready to play even. him and janish cry each other to sleep at night wondering if they'll sniff playing time

true

[redsfan_12]

Sit Down Mccann!

[Dale4Saul2Red0]

Bruce really isn't all that peeps

[FlyerFanatic]

bruce out, heisey in. should have done it sooner

[rolenmvp]

mccann was soo fooled on that...

[BUTLER REDSFAN]

now heisey can play wth

[Jefferson24]

Bruce really isn't all that peeps

I'm about to jump off the band wagon.

[redsfan_12]

Why take out our best defensive outfielder?? Take Gomes out Dusty!!

[rolenmvp]

ohhh gosh, here comes cordero...

[Jefferson24]

Why take out our best defensive outfielder?? Take Gomes out Dusty!!

Dusty manages by consulting the magic 8 ball!

[FlyerFanatic]

Why take out our best defensive outfielder?? Take Gomes out Dusty!!

true, gomes has looked ugly at the plate as well. damn, can bruce or gomes please get hot sometime soon. damn

[BUTLER REDSFAN]

i predict a braves dinger on the first pitch

[GIDP]

bruce out, heisey in. should have done it sooner

So he let bruce hit against hte lefty and then leaves Gomes in? Good lord why is he managing? Better yet is he managing?

[BUTLER REDSFAN]

i predict a braves dinger on the first pitch

my prediction was...wrong

[redsfan_12]

So he let bruce hit against hte lefty and then leaves Gomes in? Good lord why is he managing? Better yet is he managing?

Thats a million dollar question..

1 more out Coco!! Come kid

[RedsFanInBama]

So he let bruce hit against hte lefty and then leaves Gomes in? Good lord why is he managing? Better yet is he managing?

At least you're admitting that Bruce is a liability.

[FlyerFanatic]

I'm about to jump off the band wagon.

yep, im about off the bruce bandwagon too. dont care how young he is. hes showing no signs of improving at the plate.

[BUTLER REDSFAN]

know this wont be popular but i have hoped all month long we would trade bruce

[redsfan_12]

Where did those two miss?!?!?!?

[redsfan_12]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111

[FlyerFanatic]

HEISEY!!! who needs bruce?

[Jefferson24]

okay Dusty I can not believe it!

[Krawhitham]

yep, im about off the bruce bandwagon too. dont care how young he is. hes showing no signs of improving at the plate.

he is getting worse well his power is

[GIDP]

At least you're admitting that Bruce is a liability.

Against really good left handed relievers? Yes he is beyond bad against them.

[BUTLER REDSFAN]

holy crap what a play

[rolenmvp]

OMGGGGGGG what a catch...

[redsfan_12]

my heart almost dropped there...I would have cussed Cordero till i got banned lol

[George Foster]

[redsfan_12]

[redsfan_12]

right down the shoot and he wiffs

[FlyerFanatic]

wow...

[rolenmvp]

that ump was terrible...

[Krawhitham]

They have already used 6 pitchers but I would hate to see Cordero go back out to the mound

[BUTLER REDSFAN]

same ol same ol same ol cabrera, gomes, stubbs and bruce are killing this team---half our offense is just a black hole

[GIDP]

Both of those pitches were strikes.

[Krawhitham]

Both of those pitches were strikes.

no

[redsfan_12]

7-8-9...we win if we get 3 outs here..Votto and Scotty will do it

[redsfan_12]

no

yes they were.

[GIDP]

same ol same ol same ol cabrera, gomes, stubbs and bruce are killing this team---half our offense is just a black hole

For as much as everyone quotes RISP Phillips is in that mix also.

[BPhil4]

Absolutely can't give up a run here coco!!!!

[redsfan_12]

[GIDP]

no

Yea they both really were.

[BUTLER REDSFAN]

[Jefferson24]

[BPhil4]

You know coco is putting someone on. It's what he does!! Likes drama I guess

[Krawhitham]

Yea they both really were.

Half way between belt and shoulder is a strike, and the 1st pitch was above that

[redsfan_12]

Half way between belt and shoulder is a strike, and the 1st pitch was above that

[Jefferson24]

My wife left for the porch because I am trying to WILL this win a little to much, maybe?

I'm watching it now and you're wrong (DVR's are cool)

[redsfan_12]

[redsfan_12]

[Jefferson24]

Just focus on the batter coco. You aren't good enough to lose your concentration.
