6/23/13: Reds @ Snakes (let's get one)

[Stray]

I've never understood why any pitcher who starts to struggle is a headcase.

[Tony Cloninger]

Yeah he blew a game and struggled in another. Head case.

Yeah sarcasm duly noted. Watch his behavior on the mound after Votto error and refusing to throw sliders and getting upset with the umps. How about immature....is that better?

First baseball player ever to do either of those. The guy who started today does it all the time.

Trying to draw conclusions from body language is usually a bad idea.

[NebraskaRed]

Dusty tried to give it away.

Some luck prevails.

First Sunday win in awhile.

Yeah, it's been awhile. I think the last time this team won on a Sunday was...let's see.....oh, last Sunday.

Like I corrected myself... Immature. With his slider, he should not be afraid to throw it.

No doubt he is "afraid" to do it. Probably is afraid they might ship him back to Cuba if he does. Terrified.

Are you trying to pick a fight with me? Did saying head case and then correcting myself not suffice? Other posters have said he seems afraid to do it.... but they must be the cool kids of RedsZone ..I imagine?

[Big Klu]

Come now! Let's not bicker and argue over who killed whom!

[Big Klu]

Congratulations again to Brandon Phillips, who passed BRM legends Joe Morgan and Pete Rose as well as teammate Jay Bruce for 13th place on the Reds' all-time home run list!

The Reds almost killed a good weekend.

[Ironman92]

Yeah, it's been awhile. I think the last time this team won on a Sunday was...let's see.....oh, last Sunday.

Yeah....but he never wins more than one Sunday a week. Very frustrating.

[757690]

Sure he does, big time.

But his control escapes him for stretches at a time.

Yes, he does have a closers mentality. He has Mitch Williams' mentality.

[Tom Servo]

Spent the day out with family, thrilled to see we got a much needed W even if we made it interesting at the end. We're good again.

Guess we see where your loyalties are. Fraud!

[New York Red]

Had a long and busy day, so I didn't get to watch the game. Was Latos as dominant as his stat line looks? Did he just wear down in the 8th? He seems to hit the proverbial wall in the 7th or 8th. Was that the case today too? Good to see him get a 'W' though. The offense and bullpen has cost him probably 8-10 wins since he became a Red.
