[RedWilly]

This game is pretty much in the bag for us.

[kbrake]

We got this.

[Larkin Fan]

Bruce owns Kershaw. Should be no problem!

[powersackers]

Can we swing oars? We might make some contact.

[villain612]

Can we swing oars? We might make some contact.

Soto wouldn't.

[RedWilly]

Can we swing oars? We might make some contact.

Too much wind resistance.
Maybe if they had some holes in them. Would get the contact but might hurt the power.

[powersackers]

No worries the Reds don't have any power.

[kbrake]

Everyone else stock up on booze to make sure this game is a little bit more enjoyable than the last 3?

[RedWilly]

What is the reds longest winning streak this year?

[Roy Tucker]

Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.

Bailey starts his 2014 turnaround tonight.

[kbrake]

What is the reds longest winning streak this year?

I believe 3.

[RedWilly]

What is the reds longest winning streak this year?

3 - they've done it twice this year

- - - Updated - - -


Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.

Bailey starts his 2014 turnaround tonight.

That Bailey turnaround is pretty much a lock for starting tonight

- - - Updated - - -


I believe 3.

Didn't think anyone would answer that quickly so I looked it up myself lol but thanks!

[kaldaniels]

I believe 3.

And if I'm not mistaken...other than the short 2 game Fenway series...have yet to sweep or be swept.

[Gallen5862]

This game was blacked out for me. Any updates are appreciated.

[RedWilly]

And if I'm not mistaken...other than the short 2 game Fenway series...have yet to sweep or be swept.

All signs point to an easy win for the Reds!

['69]

Phillips right back into the 3 spot. Okay, then. :rolleyes:

[kbrake]

This game was blacked out for me. Any updates are appreciated.

If this goes poorly it may end up blacked out for me also haha. I'll provide some updates for a little bit.

[Reds Fanatic]

Hamilton grounds out to 3rd

[kbrake]

Hamilton grounds out to third. Frazier doubles to left.

[Reds Fanatic]

Frazier doubles to the left field corner

[RedWilly]

If this goes poorly it may end up blacked out for me also haha. I'll provide some updates for a little bit.

If nobody else does I can do PBP but I'm also on baby duty so it might get interrupted

[kbrake]

Sweet Reds Fanatic is here. PBP is all you.

[Gallen5862]

Thanks K brake. It was listed as being on la sportsnet on my time warner. then I go to the channel and it said blacked out. I live in Wilmington Nc. I dont think I would be in the LA market lol.

['69]

Can't stay up for this one, have fun all.

Whether it be tonight or not, the Reds are past due for an offensive explosion. ;)

[Gallen5862]

We need to score a run this inning.

[RedWilly]

WOAH!!!!!!

[Reds Fanatic]

Phillips crushed that pitch to left. 2-0 Reds!

[kbrake]

Holy cowwww

[Larkin Fan]

I forgot. BP owns Kershaw too. 2-0 Reds!

[RedWilly]

Redlegs must be feeling all this positivity going on in here tonight

[Reds Fanatic]

Mesoraco strikes out swinging

[kbrake]

I was ready to post jumping all over BP hitting 3rd before he hit that I'll own up to it. He just made me look like an idiot.

[Reds Fanatic]

Bruce grounds out to Kershaw. 2-0 Reds mid 1st

[Big Klu]

[RedWilly]

I was ready to post jumping all over BP hitting 3rd before he hit that I'll own up to it. He just made me look like an idiot.

You giving those props to Philips for the HR or Price for batting him 3rd?

['69]

I was ready to post jumping all over BP hitting 3rd before he hit that I'll own up to it. He just made me look like an idiot.
Me too. I hope he and Price make me look like a complete fool going forward.

[Reds Fanatic]

Gordon doubles down the left field line

[kbrake]

You giving those props to Philips for the HR or Price for batting him 3rd?

Against a LHP I can stomach him hitting 3rd. Rest of the time I think it is pretty much insane.

[Reds Fanatic]

What a play by Brandon

[RedWilly]

Against a LHP I can stomach him hitting 3rd. Rest of the time I think it is pretty much insane.
I agree with you… but you didn't answer my question at all lol

[BluegrassRedleg]

Ethier should know to bust it down a line on a grounder into Phillips' location, no matter how much it looks like a hit.

Another Web Gem for BP.

[Gallen5862]

Congrats to BP on his Homerun. What play did BP make?

[kbrake]

I agree with you… but you didn't answer my question at all lol

Hahaha sorry. That was props to BP.

[Reds Fanatic]

Puig strikes out swinging on a 95 MPH fastball

[kbrake]

Hahaha sorry. That was props to BP.

Just realized that still might not be clear haha. Brandon Phillips.

[Reds Fanatic]

Congrats to BP on his Homerun. What play did BP make?

Made a diving stop on the ground ball and threw Ethier out. He saved a run with the play

[RedWilly]

Just realized that still might not be clear haha. Brandon Phillips.

Haha somehow I knew who you meant. Guess I had a 50/50 chance.

[villain612]

I missed the start of the game. Craaap.

[Reds Fanatic]

Nice pitch. Ramirez strikes out swinging. 2-0 Reds after 1.

[kaldaniels]

I think after 3 months, Bailey's arm is finally loose.

[kbrake]

Thom seems to be getting angry even towards opposing players. That dude really needs to relax.

[Tom Servo]

Big back to back strikeouts of Puig and Ramirez to strand the runner at third.

[kbrake]

I missed the start of the game. Craaap.

Well if we don't score 2 every inning we'll now have to ask you to leave.

[Kc61]

Bryan, it's good to use your best lineup.

[RedWilly]

I missed the start of the game. Craaap.

Theme of the night is unrelenting positivity.

[Reds Fanatic]

Ludwick struck out swinging

[villain612]

Brandon Phillips getting a 2 run home run in the first inning off of Clayton Kershaw reminds me of that scene in Rocky 4.

"He's cut! He's cut!"

[Reds Fanatic]

Pena with a bloop double to right.

[Roy Tucker]

Well if we don't score 2 every inning we'll now have to ask you to leave.

Sometimes I feel like a bad luck charm. I turn the ballgame on, they have a good lead, and immediately things turn to crap.

But that's to be expected. The world is centered around me.

[RedWilly]

Pena wants villain to stay

[Tom Servo]

You can't throw out that speedster Brayan Pena

[RedWilly]

Brandon Phillips getting a 2 run home run in the first inning off of Clayton Kershaw reminds me of that scene in Rocky 4.

"He's cut! He's cut!"

Brilliant.
Kershaw does sound Russian.

[Reds Fanatic]

Pena to 3rd on a passed ball

[Norm Chortleton]

I guess George Lopez is the celebrity du jour tonight.

[Tom Servo]

Cozart, you jamoke.

[Reds Fanatic]

Cozart strikes out swinging on ball 4 in the dirt

[Ironman92]

Cozart looked great that AB

[OGB]

Cart strikes out on a ball in the dirt on a 3-2 pitch. Two out

[Gallen5862]

What did Cozart do?

[kbrake]

Thom apparently didn't get the memo about positive vibes. He is about to get the boot with Villain.

[RedWilly]

Thom did not get the memo about the theme of the night.

[WrongVerb]

What did Cozart do?

What did you expect?

Cozart is a moron when it comes to hitting.

[Roy Tucker]

Cozart was intent on striking out in that AB. None of that pansy walk crap.

[toledodan]

What did Cozart do?

He hoovered

[Reds Fanatic]

Bailey strikes out looking. 2-0 Reds mid 2nd

[RedWilly]

Thom apparently didn't get the memo about positive vibes. He is about to get the boot with Villain.

Woah - weird lol

[RedsBrick]

What did Cozart do?

Unfortunately, nothing...

[villain612]

Jesus, what a pitch.

[malcontent]

Jeezus. Why not squeeze? Cozart can at least bunt.

[villain612]

Thom apparently didn't get the memo about positive vibes. He is about to get the boot with Villain.

I think any inning where Cozart bats shouldn't count.

[kbrake]

What did you expect?

Cozart is a moron when it comes to hitting.

OH! None of that talk. Come on man we're taking this team to the top with positive thoughts.

[BluegrassRedleg]

Watching Cozart bat against Kershaw is the baseball equivalent of those nature documentaries where the hunter stalks down and eats the prey.

[OGB]

What did you expect?

Cozart is a moron when it comes to hitting.

C'mon, positivity.

Cozart still has a lot of hard work to do to become a good hitter and hopefully it happens.

[RedWilly]

Cozart was intent on striking out in that AB. None of that pansy walk crap.

In his defense (I know - a dangerous position)…. A walk there lets kershaw strike out the pitcher and then face hamilton with 2 outs. Way better than a strikeout, but thinking ahead it kinda makes sense to be slightly more aggressive there.

[Roy Tucker]

Cozart needed a 9 iron to get any loft on that pitch.

[kbrake]

I think any inning where Cozart bats shouldn't count.

See if he worked a walk off Kershaw, even with the pitcher on deck, I was going to give you a pass, but clearly that didn't happen. We'll let you stick around because Homer seems to be pitching well since you showed up. Thanks for helping.

[Reds Fanatic]

Gonzalez grounds out to 2nd

[Reds Fanatic]

Kemp strikes out swinging but reaches on a wild pitch

[OGB]

K, passed ball Kemp gets first

[RedWilly]

See if he worked a walk off Kershaw, even with the pitcher on deck, I was going to give you a pass, but clearly that didn't happen. We'll let you stick around because Homer seems to be pitching well since you showed up. Thanks for helping.

Shouldn't we take a vote on whether villain stays? Seems more democratic, and this place (if anything) is democratic.

[Tom Servo]

Blah, shoulda just knocked it down Devin.

[kbrake]

Crap. Rocco is going to end up back Homer's crap list.

[RedsBrick]

Cozart needed a 9 iron to get any loft on that pitch.

With his warning track power, a 5 would suit him better.

[Reds Fanatic]

Turner grounds into a 1-4 FC.

[Roy Tucker]

See if he worked a walk off Kershaw, even with the pitcher on deck, I was going to give you a pass, but clearly that didn't happen. We'll let you stick around because Homer seems to be pitching well since you showed up. Thanks for helping.

Nothing but sunshine, lollipops, rainbows, and unicorns tonight.

[Reds Fanatic]

Butera flies out to center. 2-0 Reds after 2.

[kbrake]

Shouldn't we take a vote on whether villain stays? Seems more democratic, and this place (if anything) is democratic.

I am good with that but I vote he stays.

Isn't it funny how certain posters are nowhere to be found right now but if Bailey gives up a 3 spot they'll be tripping over each other to start posting?

[RedsBrick]

Hoping to see BH's speed on display tonight.

[villain612]

I am good with that but I vote he stays.

Isn't it funny how certain posters are nowhere to be found right now but if Bailey gives up a 3 spot they'll be tripping over each other to start posting?


http://media0.giphy.com/media/GCLlQnV7wzKLu/giphy.gif

A toast sir.

Just wait till Votto comes off the DL.

[Tom Servo]

I had a Dodger Dog once. Didn't care for it much.

[RedsBrick]

A question I'm not quite clear on: Pena doubles last inning, but moves to third on a passed ball/wild pitch. If Cozart had hit a sac fly and Pena scored, would that have been an earned run?

[Reds Fanatic]

Nasty curve. Hamilton strikes out looking.

[kbrake]

Nothing but sunshine, lollipops, rainbows, and unicorns tonight.

That is why I like whiskey it does nothing but bring out the lollipops, rainbows, and unicorns for me.

[villain612]

That curveball is downright nasty.

If anyone deserved that contract, it was him.

[Reds Fanatic]

A question I'm not quite clear on: Pena doubles last inning, but moves to third on a passed ball/wild pitch. If Cozart had hit a sac fly and Pena scored, would that have been an earned run?

I think on the wild pitch it would have been an earned run. Good question on the passed ball I not sure if that would or not

[Roy Tucker]

I had a Dodger Dog once. Didn't care for it much.

Agreed. Just a hot dog.

Let's haw with an Uncle Charles.

[Tom Servo]

Looking like a good thing we got to Kershaw early.

[Reds Fanatic]

Frazier strikes out looking

- - - Updated - - -


Looking like a good thing we got to Kershaw early.

Yes that may be the runs for tonight. Kershaw is on now

[Reds Fanatic]

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

[kbrake]

I understand why people are so frustrated with this team and the offense especially. And I know people are tired of hearing about opposing SP, but Kershaw tonight and Greinke tonight are really just incredible at what they do. Greinke last night was all over the corners and changing speeds so easily. Tonight that curve that Kershaw just threw to Hamilton. I hate seeing them do it to the Reds and would enjoy it a lot more if they were doing it to the Cards but it really is impressive to watch pitchers like this. Amazing how good these guys are.

I really think a lot of fans are having a hard time adjusting to the fact that the MLB is now a pitcher's league for the foreseeable future. Lotta teams tipping a lot of caps, the Reds aren't alone.

[RedWilly]

I am good with that but I vote he stays.

Isn't it funny how certain posters are nowhere to be found right now but if Bailey gives up a 3 spot they'll be tripping over each other to start posting?

They'll quickly get shown the door tonight. Lollipops and stuff.

[Reds Fanatic]

Kershaw strikes out swinging. 96 MPH. 4 Ks.

[RedWilly]

A question I'm not quite clear on: Pena doubles last inning, but moves to third on a passed ball/wild pitch. If Cozart had hit a sac fly and Pena scored, would that have been an earned run?

It depends on what happens next. If the official scorer believes he would not have scored without the passed ball then not earned run and visa versa

[kbrake]

I really think a lot of fans are having a hard time adjusting to the fact that the MLB is now a pitcher's league for the foreseeable future. Lotta teams tipping a lot of caps, the Reds aren't alone.

I think you're definitely right about that.

[Reds Fanatic]

Nice play by Cozart to get Gordon

[villain612]

I really think a lot of fans are having a hard time adjusting to the fact that the MLB is now a pitcher's league for the foreseeable future. Lotta teams tipping a lot of caps, the Reds aren't alone.

I agree.

Most people think the offense last year was horrible despite being 3rd in the NL in runs.

[Norm Chortleton]

A question I'm not quite clear on: Pena doubles last inning, but moves to third on a passed ball/wild pitch. If Cozart had hit a sac fly and Pena scored, would that have been an earned run?

Wild pitch = earned run. Passed ball = unearned run. At that point. But it could change depending on what Bailey does. If Bailey or someone following him gets a hit, then the run becomes earned, even with the passed ball.

[Tom Servo]

Oh no, Manos de Oro :lol:

[villain612]

Great call by the umpire.

I thought he was safe.

[Roy Tucker]

I really think a lot of fans are having a hard time adjusting to the fact that the MLB is now a pitcher's league for the foreseeable future. Lotta teams tipping a lot of caps, the Reds aren't alone.

What was once old is new again. Shades of 1968.

[Reds Fanatic]

96 MPH strikes out Ethier. 5 Ks. 2-0 Reds after 3.

[kbrake]

Batman is on tonight. Don't think he even knew that was the third out. He was ready to K some more Dodgers.

[villain612]

Homer Bailey is on. I like.

[Roy Tucker]

A question I'm not quite clear on: Pena doubles last inning, but moves to third on a passed ball/wild pitch. If Cozart had hit a sac fly and Pena scored, would that have been an earned run?

I think it would be scored a miracle.

[RedWilly]

Bailey is so locked in tonight he didn't even realize that was the third out. Good luck coming back from this landslide, Dodgers.

[villain612]

Bailey is so locked in tonight he didn't even realize that was the third out. Good luck coming back from this landslide, Dodgers.

I like the positive thinking.

[malcontent]

Fay implied that Price isn't going to start playing Lutz regularly.

Hard to know what you have in him if he gets only very spotty starts and PH ops.

[Reds Fanatic]

Mesoraco singles to left

[BluegrassRedleg]

Mez keeps on raking. :beerme:

[kbrake]

Fay implied that Price isn't going to start playing Lutz regularly.

Hard to know what you have in him if he gets only very spotty starts and PH ops.

I want him to be given the LF job for a month or so and see what can happen but even if that isn't the case he upgrades the bench over Soto. And he proved that with 1 game.

[villain612]

This might be a baseball sin but I am really not a fan of the Vin Scully broadcast.

Luckily I have whiskey.

[Reds Fanatic]

Bruce grounds out to Kershaw. Mesoraco to 2nd.

[kaldaniels]

I can't unsee that.

[Roy Tucker]

Bruce seems to be in a hurry. He needs to slow down the pace of his ABs.

[villain612]

I miss the real Jay Bruce a lot.

[kbrake]

This might be a baseball sin but I am really not a fan of the Vin Scully broadcast.

Luckily I have whiskey.

Whiskey is everything I'm learning. Last 3 games I haven't had a drop and it felt like we were dominated. Tonight I'm a few drinks in and I feel like we're beating Kershaw. Whiskey is amazing!!!

[powersackers]

Has Bruce ever looked worse as a pro?

[Reds Fanatic]

Nasty curve gets Ludwick again. 7 Ks for Kershaw

[powersackers]

Has Ludwick ever looked worse as a pro?

[villain612]

I bet Tony Perez could put that curveball in the upper deck.

[malcontent]

How can a veteran NOT anticipate that curve in that count?

Jeezus.

[Roy Tucker]

Has Bruce ever looked worse as a pro?

Early era Jay Bruce had deep funks. Like Mariana Trench deep.

[RedsBrick]

Ludwick grabbing some bench time wouldn't hurt this line-up

[Reds Fanatic]

Pena grounds out to short. 2-0 Reds mid 4th

[Ironman92]

We
Got
This

[malcontent]

I'm going to be PO'd when Price keeps starting Ludwick over Lutz against RHP.

[kbrake]

We
Got
This

Agreed.

[Reds Fanatic]

Puig grounds out to Bailey

[kaldaniels]

That's not right Thom.

[Roy Tucker]

Everything they say about LA traffic is true.

[villain612]

Vin Scully won't shutup about the farm Homer Bailey grew up on.
Give me the Brennamans.

[Tom Servo]

Great quick frame job by Rocco.

[kaldaniels]

Out of 25 years in LA you spend 7 years in a car?

That's over 6 hours a day, 365 days a year.

[Reds Fanatic]

Ramirez grounds out to 3rd.

[Tom Servo]

Brandon Larson reference.

[kaldaniels]

We AAAAll remember Brandon Larson, Chris.

[villain612]

Out of 25 years in LA you spend 7 years in a car?

That's over 6 hours a day, 365 days a year.

http://www.sharegif.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Die-Hard-quotes-9.gif

[Reds Fanatic]

Gonzalez walks after Frazier had missed catching the foul popup

[kbrake]

Few rough plays there but based on our theme tonight we are not worried. Homer has this.

[Roy Tucker]

Brandon Larson reference.

Took my son to RedsFest back when Larson was the #1 pick. There was an ice storm and the crowd was sparse. Larson talked to us for about 15 minutes. Nice guy. Gave my Zach some good natured crap about being a catcher. I always say good things about Larson.

[Mutaman]

Whiskey is everything I'm learning. Last 3 games I haven't had a drop and it felt like we were dominated. Tonight I'm a few drinks in and I feel like we're beating Kershaw. Whiskey is amazing!!!

Let's hope tomorrow you're not singing "Last Night the Bottle Let Me Down".

[Tom Servo]

It seems crazy that Kemp is healthy but isn't playing every day.

[Reds Fanatic]

Kemp lines out to center. 2-0 Reds after 4.

[BluegrassRedleg]

Kemp needs a change of scenery. I have an idea...

[Reds Fanatic]

It seems crazy that Kemp is healthy but isn't playing every day.

At least for the next few weeks he will get a chance to play every day as they put Crawford on the DL today.

[kbrake]

Let's hope tomorrow you're not singing "Last Night the Bottle Let Me Down".

Don't know that song but I do have a feeling tomorrow I'll be singing "We Just Beat Kershaw To Move To 3rd Place, Look Out Cardinals Here We Come"

[villain612]

Kemp needs a change of scenery. I have an idea...

You guys remember that Twitter troll during the winter meetings? haha

[Roy Tucker]

Don't know that song but I do have a feeling tomorrow I'll be singing "We Just Beat Kershaw To Move To 3rd Place, Look Out Cardinals Here We Come"

Don't know it but if you hum a few bars, I can fake it.

[Reds Fanatic]

Cozart again chases a pitch and strikes out swinging

[kbrake]

You guys remember that Twitter troll during the winter meetings? haha

During a fairly boring offseason, even knowing that guy was completely full of it, he was pretty entertaining.

[Reds Fanatic]

Bailey is robbed by Gordon

[Reds Fanatic]

Hamilton hit it hard but grounds out to 3rd. 2-0 Reds mid 5th

[villain612]

During a fairly boring offseason, even knowing that guy was completely full of it, he was pretty entertaining.

Agreed

[kbrake]

Tomorrow is really going to suck but I have to keep it going. This game is going better.

[CrackerJack]

Hmm, the fantastic blue tanktop leg lady has been replaced by two old, rich white guys trying to figure out how their new cell phone works. Boo.

[Roy Tucker]

Relying on this positive thread tonight to bring the Reds home. Need my A game at work tomorrow so this is it for me. Beauty sleep beckons.

[OGB]

Don't know that song but I do have a feeling tomorrow I'll be singing "We Just Beat Kershaw To Move To 3rd Place, Look Out Cardinals Here We Come"

Do you know After I'm Gone?
;)

[OGB]

Leadoff double

[Reds Fanatic]

Turner doubles down the right field line

[kbrake]

Relying on this positive thread tonight to bring the Reds home. Need my A game at work tomorrow so this is it for me. Beauty sleep beckons.

Thankfully I don't need my A game tomorrow haha. Even with the lead off double the positive vibes have this Roy. Have a good evening.

[Ironman92]

Homer thinks he's pitching to Hanigan

[Reds Fanatic]

Nice stop by Pena. Runner to 3rd

[villain612]

Kershaw's batting average is still better than Neftali Soto's.

[Reds Fanatic]

Ugh. Run scores on a passed ball

[5TimeWSChamps]

Man...

[BluegrassRedleg]

Vapor Lock.

Reds Baseball 2014

[villain612]

This bourbon is nice.

[kbrake]

This bourbon is nice.

What are you drinking?

[Reds Fanatic]

I guess it did not matter anyway as Kershaw lines a single to center.

[5TimeWSChamps]

As much as the offense has struggled, pretty sure Bailey has had a lead in almost every single one of his starts...

[villain612]

What are you drinking?

Jim Beam as always.

[Tom Servo]

Well this ain't good.

[villain612]

Alright. Someone go talk to Bailey.

UPDATE: Good call coach.

[Reds Fanatic]

Bailey has lost it in a hurry. Gordon lines a single to left

[toledodan]

As much as the offense has struggled, pretty sure Bailey has had a lead in almost every single one of his starts...

Seems that way

[Mutaman]

Don't know that song

Merle. James Burton on guitar, the great Ralph Mooney on steel:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NVq27glkY_A

[5TimeWSChamps]

Unbelievable. Bailey's head hasn't been on straight all year. One moment of frustration and he's unraveled every start

[toledodan]

Free falling

[Reds Fanatic]

They need a ground ball here badly with Puig on deck

[kbrake]

No negativity!!!!!!!!! Not tonight!!!!!!!!!!!

[Tom Servo]

Yesiree!

[Reds Fanatic]

Nice. 6-4-3 DP. 2-1 Reds after 5

[kaldaniels]

Unbelievable. Bailey's head hasn't been on straight all year. One moment of frustration and he's unraveled every start

Classic.

[villain612]

As much as the offense has struggled, pretty sure Bailey has had a lead in almost every single one of his starts...

I think you're right.

[5TimeWSChamps]

Whew. Good job fellas.

[kbrake]

Jim Beam as always.

Have never been able to stand that. How old are you? Maybe it is just an acquired taste and I'm not there yet haha.

[Ironman92]

Ball was ripped but Cozy was in the right place.

[Tom Servo]

Unbelievable. Bailey's head hasn't been on straight all year. One moment of frustration and he's unraveled every start



Free falling

Feel free to nod off for a couple more innings fellas, you've done your usual part.

[5TimeWSChamps]

Feel free to nod off for a couple more innings fellas, you've done your usual part.

Its great he got a DP. last 3 hitters absolutely scalded the ball

[villain612]

Have never been able to stand that. How old are you? Maybe it is just an acquired taste and I'm not there yet haha.

29

[villain612]

To be fair, Bailey has been given a lead several times this year only to give it right back..
With that said, he got it under control there and ended the rally.

4 innings to play Gents.

[kaldaniels]

"Bailey allowed a run and now 2 men are on, off to the game thread!"

[Reds Fanatic]

Frazier lines a double over Kemp

[5TimeWSChamps]

"Bailey allowed a run and now 2 men are on, off to the game thread!"

Nice try. Busy watching NBA/NHL/Reds. Reds only thing on now

[BluegrassRedleg]

Also to be fair, "Old Homer" would have become COMPLETELY unhinged after an inning like that.

"Bailey allowed a run and now 2 men are on, off to the game thread!"

That's a good point too haha.

Someone pointed out earlier....





Isn't it funny how certain posters are nowhere to be found right now but if Bailey gives up a 3 spot they'll be tripping over each other to start posting?

[kaldaniels]

Nice try. Busy watching NBA/NHL/Reds. Reds only thing on now

You left out Nelson Cruz.

[5TimeWSChamps]

You left out Nelson Cruz.

Nope, updated his 2 HR night in the Nelson Cruz thread. Now has more Hr's than Ludwick has RBI's.... For $500k less a year.

There's your update

[Reds Fanatic]

Phillips grounds out to short. Frazier gets to 3rd as Ramirez bobbled the ball at short

[kbrake]

29

I'm 28 so maybe in the next 6 months I'll start to like it hahaha

[5TimeWSChamps]

You left out Nelson Cruz.

But please, use your baseball knowledge to tell me again I'm an idiot for suggesting the Reds sign who's turning out to be the best player in baseball.

The joke was supposed to be that you are following Nelson Cruz very closely. But nevertheless, onward and upward....

[toledodan]

Feel free to nod off for a couple more innings fellas, you've done your usual part.

Lol. He was very fortunate to get out of the with the double play. We need this win in the worst way. I've seen this act out of Bailey one too many times.

[Ironman92]

BP home to 1st 4.76.....he's 4.2-4.3 typically.....ball took 4.53 to get to 1st

[toledodan]

A wild pitch or passed ball would be great

[Reds Fanatic]

Mesoraco walks. 1st and 3rd

[Ironman92]

A wild pitch or passed ball would be great

A grand slam would be most goodest

[kbrake]

I am good with that but I vote he stays.

[villain612]

Bruce is due

[Ironman92]

A grand slam would be most goodest

Me knowing how many are on base would be helpful

[Ironman92]

Bruce is due

He's not showing at all.

[villain612]

hahahahahaha

[Reds Fanatic]

Run scores on a wild pitch! 3-1 Reds

[Tom Servo]

Yay!

[toledodan]

Bruce is due

He's been due long enough to give birth

[kbrake]

Bruce scared him into throwing a ball in the dirt. You all still doubting?

[Reds Fanatic]

Bruce is completely lost. Pops out to short

[toledodan]

Run scores on a wild pitch! 3-1 Reds

Out to get my lottery tickets

[Ironman92]

Great run

Homer has the karma this year. He's going to be 16-6 with a 4.20 ERA

You two need to take this to private messages.

[kaldaniels]

I'm usually quick to defend guys when they are harped on. But it's fair to say Bruce is a main culprit in the teams poor performance so far, hurt or not.

[Reds Fanatic]

Ludwick grounds out Kershaw. 3-1 Reds mid 6th

[Kc61]

Bruce will get going against Bronson Arroyo.

Ludwick? No comment.

[kbrake]

Reds fortunate to get a run. Dodgers got a run last inning only because the Reds suck at fundamentals. - Reds broadcasters.

[toledodan]

This is a big game because I think we can do some good things against Arizona.

You can say hurt or not and act like it doesn't matter but it does. The guy was getting on base at a better clip than he ever has and he was doing it without hitting much. I think most thought he was going to really break out then he messed up his knee. And honestly I think he came back quick as he could because he knew the Reds were getting zero help from his replacements. It is frustrating but I think he will get past the injury and get it going in a big way.

Maybe I'm better off with Vin Scully then.
