Re: 9/2/12 - Reds at Astros

Stubbs is the most-overrated defensive player EVER. Anyone else see him give up on that ball because he's afraid of the wall? Typical.

Griffey JR in his prime would have had that... Anyone else... doubtful.

Re: 9/2/12 - Reds at Astros

It's unfortunate that the Reds appear to be on their way to losing two of three to Houston. Really unfortunate.

Re: 9/2/12 - Reds at Astros

Stubbs was worried about the windmill feature in that goofy outfield.

Re: 9/2/12 - Reds at Astros

That ain't on Stubbs, haters. That was right where the hill meets the wall. Ridiculous.

Re: 9/2/12 - Reds at Astros

Nice play by Hanigan.

I just can't believe the offense can't score against Houston. Worst pitching in baseball mowing us down.

Unproven kid. Prefer him to a vet who has proven he's done. If Rolen and Votto aren't available at the corner, H-Rod > Cairo.

Re: 9/2/12 - Reds at Astros

Arredondo is awful.

He should NOT be used in a close game.

I don't think that one was catchable either!

4-2 road trip. Just to keep things in perspective.

Arredondo is a bit like Adam Dunn. Strikeouts. Walks. Homers.

Re: 9/2/12 - Reds at Astros

Sadly I'd say this one's over. The offense probably doesn't have four runs in them. Not against this dominant staff.

Re: 9/2/12 - Reds at Astros

The Astros should just avoid third base altogether.
