7/5/12 - Reds at Padres

[reds44]

Marty wishes he could have done it that easily.

I forgot about that!

I hate the big west coast trip. It kills this team year after year. Used to be the pitching would get killed and offense muted. Now the offense disappears although the pitching is actually improved from good to really good.

The offense is the same as always. It's just that the fences are farther away.

Here, you need multiple hits to score.

I know the Padres guy homered, but usually you need multiple hits.

Multiple hits is not in the Reds' offensive game plan.

Wonder how many times in a game like this that Joey Votto stands out at first base and wonders why he locked himself into a long term contract with Cincinnati?

[The Operator]

Welsh just figured out Black got tossed.

Glad to know they're in the game.

[Reds Fanatic]

Quentin flies out to right. 1-1 after 8.

I'm going to say 0.

Not true. Joey Votto has multiple hit games all the time.

Multiple hits is not in the Reds' offensive game plan.

And even when they had four in a row to start the ninth in San Francisco on Sunday somehow they managed to Berry themselves into a single run.

[Kc61]

Not true. Joey Votto has multiple hit games all the time.

Not what I meant.

[Homer Bailey]

Wonder how many times in a game like this that Joey Votto stands out at first base and wonders why he locked himself into a long term contract with Cincinnati?

Probably 250,000,000 times.... multiplied by zero.

Wonder how many times in a game like this that Joey Votto stands out at first base and wonders why he locked himself into a long term contract with Cincinnati?

Probably as many times as he wonders if his contract will hamper the Reds chance of surrounding him with the best possible talent...

Wasn't in the game plan, like I said.

I think we already decided earlier this year that Votto can't hit 2nd, 3rd, and 4th...unless they allow ghost runners.

[VR]

Not what I meant.

I know. Just trying to keep you sane.

Just let Votto hit and use Stubbs and Hamilton as runners.


Championship.
