4/24/12 - Reds vs Giants

[_Sir_Charles_]

That was a really nice inning from the Redlegs. Really worked the pitcher EARLY in the game. That's gonna come back and bite him quickly IMO.

Schierholtz flies out to right.

Congratulations to to Brandon Phillips, who has passed Reggie Sanders for sole possession of 17th place on the Reds' all-time home run list!

Belt strikes out swinging. Good movement on that pitch.

A really quick inning here from Latos is just what Cain does NOT want.

[Reds Fanatic]

Burress grounds out to 3rd. 2-0 Reds mid 2nd.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Alright boys, lets continue to work him over. Bring tha lumba!

I'm not a UK fan, but hey, well done to their team and coach. I can politely tip my cap and keep my big mouth shut.

Getting all riled up about it is a whole lot of silly. I didn't see Kentucky fans get all crazy about the Reds honoring the UC football team for winning the Big East or Xavier hoops or all the Ohio and Ky. HS teams winning championships.

[reds44]

Why can't this always be the Reds offensive approach?

[Reds Fanatic]

Ludwick strikes out looking. 9 pitch AB. That pitch looked high

I'd hope no one gets upset for an Ohio professional sports franchise honoring Ohio teams.

I don't even think there's a problem recognizing that Kentucky is a pro-Reds' market. However, if you're a baseball fan in Kentucky, you probably don't need marketed to anyhow. Chances are, you're already supporting the Reds.

It's bad marketing. The Reds should be catering to the millions of fans in Ohio that might be persuaded to be Indians' fans or otherwise be preoccupied with other sports. And if the Reds didn't see the outrage coming, it shows how disconnected they are from where their bread should be buttered.

[Brutus]

The Reds are definitely making Cain work for it.

[Reds Fanatic]

Hanigan strikes out looking. That pitch was borderline too.

I think it's much to do about nothing. In fact, as a native Ohioan who grew up in Hamiltucky, I know for a fact that many who live in the Buckeye state have no idea it is a different state than Kentucky.

The Ludwick pitch was closer than that one to Hanny. Both guys had a case to complain.
