8/6/10 - Reds at Cubs - Still no Stubbs

[Redsfan320]

Come on, Coco. THROW STRIKES!!

320

[reds44]

Gas.

Sit down.

[Cedric]

Lucky that's why Byrd is overrated.

Doesn't ever walk.

Lee and Byrd both swung at ball 4.

[TheNext44]

Even if the Reds make the Playoffs, they are going to have a hard time advancing with Cordero as the closer.

[Roy Tucker]

Cordero will be the death of me.

As long as he stays around the knees, he's accurate. But he is wild high all the daggone time.

[reds44]

3 ball count on every batter this inning.

[_Sir_Charles_]

BB *sigh*

[reds44]

Cordero is lucky Lee and Byrd both swung at ball four.

[VR]

Chapman can do this....and throws 8MPH faster.

[CTA513]

Its a good thing the Cubs have helped Cordero out in a couple of at bats.

[Cedric]

Even if the Reds make the Playoffs, they are going to have a hard time advancing with Cordero as the closer.

I don't think they make the playoffs unless he gets hurt. The Reds have better options and yet his salary is the reason the Reds season might blow up.

Money matters.

[redsfaninbsg]

If not for the Cubs impatience he wouldn't have recorded an out yet.

[Redsfan320]

Even if he does get the job done, I'm sick of this crap with Cordero every single time he comes in.

320

[Caveat Emperor]

How many more awful outings is it going to take for someone to realize that this guy is a middle reliever at best right now.

[RedsManRick]

I mean this is a very non-personal way, but I would not be unhappy if Cordero needed to make an extended trip to the DL.

[RichRed]

I'm going to have to amend my "Dusty isn't so bad" philosophy if he keeps running Cordero out there to close.

[reds44]

Oh wow Ondrusek is warming up

[Caveat Emperor]

Wow, that was an awful strike call there.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Ondrusek warming up.

[Cedric]

Bad call. I'll take it.

Just end the game and then go the DL.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Wow, that was an awful strike call there.

Both strikes according to gameday FWIW.

[Tom Servo]

never easy

[RedsMan3203]

Wow!

[Caveat Emperor]

Apparently he has no problems throwing a strike to first.

[Cedric]

My god that was an awesome play by Cordero.

Nice win.

[reds44]

What a play by Cordero.

And this one belongs to the Reds!

[_Sir_Charles_]

High chopper, cordero nails DeWitt! And this one belongs to the Reds! 3-0!

What dooo you know- Reds win!

[HeatherC1212]

Yay for the win but daggone it Coco....make it easy at least part of the time! :eek:

WOOT! I'm happy I can head off to King's Island tonight knowing that the Reds will be in first place no matter what when I get home later! :jump:

[Tom Servo]

14 over .500 is a season high, no?

[Roy Tucker]

Your basic 28 pitch (13 strikes and 15 balls) save.

Gah.

I wonder if something is wrong with his arm.

[HeatherC1212]

14 over .500 is a season high, no?

That sounds right. We've hit 13 above a few times but I think this is the first time we've seen 14 this season. :thumbup:

[Cedric]

Gah.

Sure looks like it. Usually someone with a history of having good control doesn't go through this without an elbow injury.

Oooh...Kings Island. I'm jealous. I haven't been there since the year they opened The Beast.

[Brutus]

That sounds right. We've hit 13 above a few times but I think this is the first time we've seen 14 this season. :thumbup:

Actually, I think 12 was the season high until a few days ago.

[Homer Bailey]

5-1 gt record. Al davis said it best just win baby win.

[edabbs44]

14 over .500 is a season high, no?

Millenium high possibly

[Caveat Emperor]

Fun Bronson Arroyo fact:

Bronson is holding opposing RH hitters to a .176 BAA & .558 OPSA.

It's fun when my favorite team is good at baseball.

[Big Klu]

Juan with a shot past Lee....2 bagger!


That kid is going to be a monster off the bench down the stretch.

Yeah, but they gotta get him a real baseball number. #64 is a pulling guard for the Bengals.

I would switch him to #23.

(Other numbers that are currently unassigned and available are 3, 9, 15, and 16.)

16 is retired for Brandon Larson.

[Tom Servo]

16 is retired for Brandon Larson.
As is 15 for Jorge Cantu.

[Tom Servo]

Millenium high possibly
Yup. D'Backs broadcast said it's the first time the Reds have been 14 games over since 1999.

[_Sir_Charles_]

You never know...he may have requested that number.

[GAC]

On Saturday, lets hope Cubs pitcher, as well as their team, does as well as they did on August 2nd. ;)

I love high-numbered baseball players. It's usually a sign that you forced your way onto a roster as a youngster when no one expected you to contribute.

[Big Klu]

I love high-numbered baseball players. It's usually a sign that you forced your way onto a roster as a youngster when no one expected you to contribute.

I've gotten used to Ramon Hernandez (#55) and Bronson Arroyo (#61), especially since I know they wore those numbers with their previous clubs. Miguel Cairo (#43) seemed a little unusual at first, since middle infielders rarely wear numbers in the 40's--though I've come around since Cairo really isn't a middle infielder anymore. Numbers in the 50's don't bother me for pitchers, and I can tolerate numbers in the 60's for pitchers as well, since I know that a lot more numbers are being assigned.

But #64 for Juan Francisco just looks strange to me. IMO, of the "low numbers" available, #23 seems to suit him best, though I'm starting to think that #15 might also be a good fit since Sutton is no longer around.



BTW, I asked this question in another thread, but maybe you never saw it or I never saw the answer. Is that a "Weeping Angel" from Doctor Who in your avatar?
