Brantley has been unbearable tonight IMHO.

"This isn’t stats vs scouts - this is stats and scouts working together, building an organization that blends the best of both worlds. This is the blueprint for how a baseball organization should be run. And, whether the baseball men of the 20th century like it or not, this is where baseball is going."---Dave Cameron, U.S.S. Mariner
I like Brantley when he talks mechanics, everything else not so much.
If you have a losing record at Reds games, please stop going.
I'd feel bad for Harang potentially earning another loss after a good performance, but seriously, giving up a home run to Wil Nieves? Belliard's a bit more forgivable but it was only the 2nd homer of Nieves' career!
“I don’t care,” Votto said of passing his friend and former teammate. “He’s in the past. Bye-bye, Jay.”

I was counting Votto, Phillips, Gomes, and Nix in tonight's lineup. Hanigan and Balentien are both borderline, as well.Originally Posted by Spring~Fields
I was thinking he was the only one. What do we do if we don't have Joey to watch.
I thought he was on target in his analysis of Taveras in the first inning. (And I am not one to bash Willy. Brantley just said that Taveras has been a disappointment on the basepaths, with which I agree.)
Eric Stratton, Rush Chairman. Damn glad to meet ya.
I still haven't figured out how that ball got out. I didn't think he hit it that well, and it looked like he was late on his swing.

Reds bottom of the ninth due up
Tatum, pinch hitter ???
Pinch hitter for Cordero

Why not lead off with Sutton PH'ing for Tatum, and Hanigan PH'ing for Cordero?
