6/30/07 - Reds vs. Cardinals

[Matt700wlw]

No implosion!

The difference between a last baseball club and another club:
A last place club will place a man on third with the cleanup coming up. Cleanup pops up, no run.
Other clubs will place a man on third - and someone besides the cleanup will come up. Other batter flies out, run scores.

Doing the little things: The difference between last and not being last. The Reds have been infamous for not doing the little things for several years, now - and it is starting to get quite painful.

Bob Gebhart, of the D-backs has been lurking around checking out the Reds club...


They need a bat....a big, strong bat.

The D-Backs would be a great trading partner for the Reds. Their system is loaded with young talent.

Lohse is lucky that Molina only got a sac fly off the ball and not a 3-run homerun.

Other clubs would let the hitter try and get the runner over to third from second by swinging the bat instead of bunting right away.

I was still rubbing the sleep out of my eyes when that happened :
Why do I seem to be regretting waking up to watch the game anymore?

Other teams routinely fail in the same situations -- you just don't follow other teams 162 games a year the way you do the Reds.

Matt:

Do you pick the bumper music on the broadcasts? If so, what was that thing you just played. I can't get it out of my head.

Now, back to baseball, or whatever you want to call this?

It's on a rotation....I think the last one was 50 Cent

Now, I recognize it--on my son's CD compilation. Thanks!

[Reds Fanatic]

Inning ends as Phillips is caught stealing. 1-0 Cards after 3.

I work overnight.

This is very true. In all honesty, there have been times watching a game on ESPN when a team will fail to do one of the little things, and all I can do is shake my head.

[Matt700wlw]

I work overnight.

That would explain it.

It's ok....I sleep late too, because I stay up way too late.
