Re: 8/3/12 - Reds vs. Pirates

Let them leave 6.5 behind! That's what I'm talking about.

Re: 8/3/12 - Reds vs. Pirates

Just winning one game in this series is huge, with no Votto, BP missing today, and the Pirates rolling McDonald and Burnett out there. Big time win tonight, now let's keep the momentum going tomorrow.

The Pirates had 2 lefties face him in the 9th. Hows their bench doing?

Re: 8/3/12 - Reds vs. Pirates

I'm stuck watching the Root feed here in Washington... Did the Ohio feed show McCutchen going off in the dugout...?

Wow. Cutch going off in the dugout. I've never seen him that angry. Watch out tomorrow Reds. Cutch is going to to have a big day.

Re: 8/3/12 - Reds vs. Pirates

Chapman is already closing in on 100 Ks and is 2nd on the team behind Cueto who has 115 Ks.

He said f him towards Chapman about 10 times. Slammed his equipment. Stormed into the clubhouse shouting toward the field.

I would like to think it wasn't on purpose. But Chapman has a quirky personality and he's a hard dude to read, so maybe he was sending a message.

Cutch? You mean that thug who plays for Pittsburgh? He's angry because he got hit? Too stupid to realize Chappy isn't going to hit him intentionally?

True that. I feel though that even Chapman would know a 100 mph message is a bit much.

I think it was because he showed no remorse. Kinda stood there semi challenging him. Waiting for the ump to throw him a ball...
