Re: 5/21/09 - Reds vs Phillies
Ibanez homer makes it 12-5. Who buys the "switching leagues" theory with Ibanez?
Re: 5/21/09 - Reds vs Phillies
Marty getting tetchy about Lincoln and Burton.
Re: 5/21/09 - Reds vs Phillies
Great timing....Marty was ripping the bullpen by calling them "an absolute trainwreck" at the same time Ibanez crushes one off Lincoln.
Re: 5/21/09 - Reds vs Phillies
Lincoln gives up a HR to Ibanez. 206-5 Phillies, or thereabouts.
Phils have now scored in all but 1 of their 8 innings.

Yikes, today is a turkey fest.

Re: 5/21/09 - Reds vs Phillies
Not only is Lincoln getting hit but he has given up 11 walks and only struck out 5 batters.

Even when he was pitching pretty well as in 2008, Lincoln gave up long balls. He just doesn't seem to be a GABP pitcher, was surprised they re-signed him.
Burton and Lincoln haven't helped the cause. I can live with the rest of the bullpen.
Re: 5/21/09 - Reds vs Phillies
Lincoln's ERA stands at a very solid 9.60.
Re: 5/21/09 - Reds vs Phillies
What is going on with Burton, seriously?

He should be the first one given the boot and Burton should find his way to AAA to work on things.

Poor command and then he nibbles at times which makes it even worse.
Re: 5/21/09 - Reds vs Phillies
Hanigan walks. He's been on base 3 times today.

That's my impression too...he just seems to be falling apart all-around.
Boy, when the Reds start to lose badly, Brennaman and Brantley get bored.
And boring. Not that I blame them.
