7/22/14 Reds @ Brewers: They have to win one sooner or later

[NebraskaRed]

Hamilton 8
Schumaker 4
Frazier 3
Bruce 9
Ludwick 7
Pena 2
Cozart 6
Santiago 5
Bailey 1

I'm assuming Mes is fine, it's just that Homie don't throw to Mes.

[Ironman92]

Sure doesn't smell like 8 runs....but it has to be.

[kbrake]

I know the options are severely limited but I really hope we stop moving one of the best defensive 3B out of position. Hard to not be frustrated right now.

[BluegrassRedleg]

What in sam bloody hell is going on with Mez right now?

[Norm Chortleton]

Frazier at 1b and Mes not playing = guess I'll be looking for something else to do from 8-12.

[PepperJack]

I know the options are severely limited but I really hope we stop moving one of the best defensive 3B out of position. Hard to not be frustrated right now.

It's not ideal, but if they don't trust one of Lutz/Soto, and they don't seem to, then Frazier has the most experience at 1B on the roster.

I would prefer they left Frazier at 3B, and let Santiago and Schumaker split 2B, while playing Lutz at 1B if you are going to keep him up here.

[Ironman92]

Frazier plays 3rd.... Frazier plays 3rd. He looks stinky at first.

Play Frazier at 3rd....put Skip or Santiago at first if they want.

Don't move Bruce and don't move Frazier.

[NebraskaRed]

Prediction: Bruce goes 2-4 tonight.

[Red Raindog]

Frazier at 1b and Mes not playing = guess I'll be looking for something else to do from 8-12.

I've watched Tremors 1 & 2 with the grandkids -- might be a 3 & 4 night

[RedWilly]

I got on here for the sole purpose of offering a guarantee of victory.

After looking at that lineup I can't bring myself to do it.

[villain612]

We just had a 4 day break for the All Star game. How many days off does Mesoraco need??

[jordan_tm]

When the roster is as depleted as it is, this personal catcher stuff needs to go out the window. I know Mes hasn't been hitting much lately, but you gotta have him in the lineup right now.

[Ironman92]

Prediction: Bruce goes 2-4 tonight.

en route to an 8 run Reds outburst

[Ironman92]

We just had a 4 day break for the All Star game. How many days off does Mesoraco need??

Not much of a break for All-Star players....might equal a day off.

[Kc61]

What in sam bloody hell is going on with Mez right now?

Guess as to reasons Mes isn't playing tonight:

1. Day game tomorrow after a night game.
2. Price wants Mes to catch two of three, not three of three.
3. Mes looked off at the plate last night, needs a day to re-group.

[PepperJack]

http://marksheldon.mlblogs.com/2014/07/22/mesoraco-sits-for-bailey-start/



“We need a really good start,” Price said. “Homer threw really well in San Francisco against the Giants when he threw to Pena. Over the course of their careers together, Homer will throw a lot to Devin. Devin has scuffled a little bit at the plate. I think a day off isn’t the worst thing and putting those two together is good as well.”

When Pena caught Bailey on June 29, the Reds got a three-hit shutout. Bailey took a no-hitter into the seventh inning. Mesoraco is 1-for-11 since the All-Star break.

[50YrRedsFan]

Guess as to reasons Mes isn't playing tonight:

1. Day game tomorrow after a night game.
2. Price wants Mes to catch two of three, not three of three.
3. Mes looked off at the plate last night, needs a day to re-group.

Didn't he K 3 times last night? I think he's K'd quite a bit lately. Trying to do too much?

[Mutaman]

Bryan has forgotten more than I know but Lutz and Frazier sure seems preferable to Frazier and Santiago. Why weaken yourself at two positions?

On the bright side, hopefully Todd and Jay have now proven beyond any doubt that first base is not all that easy to play. I guess Keith, Donnie Baseball and The Doggie had some talent after all.

[Red Raindog]

Giants put Cain on the DL with elbow problems and Pirates lead the Bums 2-1 early


Khris Davis is 7/15 with 3 HR & Weeks is 14/27 with 2 HR versus Homer --- sure hope someone takes note of that and responds properly


Reds are 1/28 with RISP since the break

[Tom Servo]

Bryan has forgotten more than I know but Lutz and Frazier sure seems preferable to Frazier and Santiago. Why weaken yourself at two positions?
I don't see how you figure. Santiago has been hitting well since BP went down, Lutz still hasn't shown any capability of hitting major league pitching.

[Norm Chortleton]

I lied. I'm going to watch to see if Hamilton does anything in the first before I find something else to do.

[Tom Servo]

Thom never participates in Bowtie Tuesday. What a boner.

[Kc61]

Reds face Lohse tomorrow in Milwaukee. Loss tonight wouldn't be good.

[Ironman92]

Davis and Weeks own Homer....but they'll do nothing and like it

[Ironman92]

Thom never participates in Bowtie Tuesday. What a boner.

Boner was on Growing Pains

Sadly, he died a few years back.

[RedTeamGo!]

The Godfather is so friggin good. Its on hbo 2 right now.

[Reds Fanatic]

Hamilton strikes out swinging

[Reds Fanatic]

Schumaker grounds out to short

Frazier grounds out to short on the first pitch. 0-0 mid 1st

[BluegrassRedleg]

Homer seems to already know he needs a borderline no-no to win tonight.

[Reds Fanatic]

Gomez grounds out to 3rd

[Reds Fanatic]

Gennett grounds out to 1st

[Gandalf the Red]

Homer seems to already know he needs a borderline no-no to win tonight.

He may also need to hit a few homeruns.

[wheels]

Check out the veins on Braun's left wrist. That's some chemical engineering right there. Wow.

[Reds Fanatic]

Braun homers to right. 1-0 Brewers

[Tom Servo]

I hate Braun.

[BluegrassRedleg]

Head Juice strikes again.

[wheels]

And here we go again. Another early lead by the opposition.

Things aren't well in Redland.

[Tom Servo]

crap

[wheels]

And another.

This stinks.

[Reds Fanatic]

Oh boy. Here we go again. Ramirez homers to left. 2-0 Brewers

[BluegrassRedleg]

#click

[powersackers]

The beatings will continue until morale improves.

[Ironman92]

Good thing Homer pitches better to Pena...

[REDblooded]

Probably already too many runs for the Reds offense to overcome.

[Tom Servo]

Rome is burning.

[kbrake]

Probably be 3-0 if Mesoraco were catching. Thank god we went with Pena.

[Ironman92]

I blame Steve Smith

[Reds Fanatic]

LuCroy grounds out to short. 2-0 Brewers after 1

[REDblooded]

Somebody remind me to cancel my MLB.TV renewal for the rest of the season...

[wheels]

Homer has got to feeling like crap right now. He must know there is no way to get a win tonight and it's only the first inning.

Two bad pitches, and he's got to be feeling like Game Over.

[Ironman92]

Probably already too many runs for the Reds offense to overcome.

Nonsense poopy pants. 8 runs, somehow

[wheels]

The beatings will continue until morale improves.

That's a good one!

[Gandalf the Red]

Rome is burning.

Luckily, Jocketty's asleep under an asbestos blanket.

But hey he likes the team lol

[Reds Fanatic]

Bruce strikes out looking

[Playadlc]

Bruce is just horrendous right now.

[villain612]

So glad I'm at Buffalo Wild Wings drinking cold beer and not able to watch this game.

[Tom Servo]

Luckily, Jocketty's asleep under an asbestos blanket.
I honestly think he has been working on stuff, but he wasn't counting on everything suddenly going to hell right after the ASB before the deadline.

[wheels]

I wish it was still the All Star break. This is driving me nuts.

[Reds Fanatic]

Ludwick flies out to left

- - - Updated - - -

That was quick. Pena lines out to right. 2-0 Brewers mid 2nd

[wheels]

I honestly think he has been working on stuff, but he wasn't counting on everything suddenly going to hell right after the ASB before the deadline.

No GM would be able to counter this fiasco. This is an absolute free fall.

[toledodan]

I honestly think he has been working on stuff, but he wasn't counting on everything suddenly going to hell right after the ASB before the deadline.

I honestly wish I could believe that

[Tom Servo]

"5 in a row retired by Nelson."
"6 in a row retired by Nelson."


Thanks so much Thom, I can't count and needed to be reminded after every single at-bat.

[dsmith421]

It's not Thom's fault the Reds are playing awful baseball.

Everything else, however, is Thom's fault.

[villain612]

[QUOTE=wheels;3142734]No GM would be able to counter this fiasco. This is an absolute free fall.[/Q

I have to agree.

[Gandalf the Red]

I honestly think he has been working on stuff, but he wasn't counting on everything suddenly going to hell

Just wanted to say that, in general, this portion seems like a good rationale to give my boss the next time he starts pestering me about stuff.

[REDblooded]

Mine is worse since they updated it on the PlayStation


Yup... It's terrible now.

[Reds Fanatic]

Davis strikes out swinging

Overbay grounds out to 2nd

[tomnuetten]

Luckily, Jocketty's asleep under an asbestos blanket.

walt should do something, but the problem is that we should upgrade at the moment at 1B, 2B, SS, LF, RF (on offense and yes I do know that some of them are in slumps or are injury related)

I have the feeling that there might be to many holes to fill.. I do expect regression on offense from Rocco and Hamilton (while Bruce will imrove) and from the pitchers Simon and Broxton (while Latos should improve)

[Rantly]

"5 in a row retired by Nelson."
"6 in a row retired by Nelson."


Thanks so much Thom, I can't count and needed to be reminded after every single at-bat.
I hate listening to Thom when things are not going well...Marty either for that matter.

[Kc61]

I honestly think he has been working on stuff, but he wasn't counting on everything suddenly going to hell right after the ASB before the deadline.

He should have looked at the schedule. The need for a DH in NY. Playing the Brewers on the road.

Some of us mentioned the need for hitting in, say, April of 2013 and all winter.

[Reds Fanatic]

Nice play by Cozart. 2-0 Brewers after 2

[Mutaman]

I don't see how you figure. Santiago has been hitting well since BP went down, Lutz still hasn't shown any capability of hitting major league pitching.

Santiago is a below average third baseman. Todd is a below average first baseman. Todd is a great third baseman. Ergo- why weaken yourself at two positions.

Don't suspect over time Santiago's offense is going to out rank Lutz' offense. And if you're that big a fan of Santiago's big bat (:rolleyes:), put him at first base.

[Kc61]

Nice play by Cozart. 2-0 Brewers after 2

Zack with a .518 OPS over the last thirty days.

[Larkin Fan]

Will the Reds ever win again?

[wheels]

He should have looked at the schedule. The need for a DH in NY. Playing the Brewers on the road.

Some of us mentioned the need for hitting in, say, April of 2013 and all winter.

Yeah. But...money, or something.

Blech.

[Larkin Fan]

Ondrusek is on the DL. Thank heaven for small favors.

[wheels]

Will the Reds ever win again?

Heck with winning right now. Just score a run or get a hit or something.

This is gut wrenching.

[dubc47834]

What an absolutely crappy day, wrecked my truck, flat tire on my Mustang, and the Reds are down early to the Brewers....:alcohol:

[Reds Fanatic]

Cozart flies out to center

[Tom Servo]

They say Cozart has hit a home run before. I don't know if I believe it myself.

[Gandalf the Red]

Ondrusek is on the DL. Thank heaven for small favors.

Yeah. Glad we still have Hoover to take up the slack. :D

[Kc61]

Yeah. But...money, or something.

Blech.

What money? They had $100 million for Bailey. Couldn't find $7 million for a hitter?

[Rantly]

Ondrusek is on the DL. Thank heaven for small favors.

Rather it be Hoover

[wheels]

What an absolutely crappy day, wrecked my truck, flat tire on my Mustang, and the Reds are down early to the Brewers....:alcohol:

Turn the game off. Go get 'em tomorrow, Brother.

[Reds Fanatic]

Santiago soft line out to 3rd

[wheels]

What money? They had $100 million for Bailey. Couldn't find $7 million for a hitter?

I'm with you. If they don't have the cash don't lock everyone up so you can't make any moves like, ever.

[dubc47834]

Turn the game off. Go get 'em tomorrow, Brother.

LOL...was hoping to turn it on a catch a win, hopefully turn the day around...not gonna happen it looks like!!!

[Reds Fanatic]

Bailey strikes looking. 2-0 Brewers mid 3rd

[Larkin Fan]

Rather it be Hoover

Beggars can't be choosers.

[wheels]

LOL...was hoping to turn it on a catch a win, hopefully turn the day around...not gonna happen it looks like!!!

Nope. Do it virtually. My fantasy drafted Orioles on the The Show are indomitable.

Cold Comfort.

[Mutaman]

I'm with you. If they don't have the cash don't lock everyone up so you can't make any moves like, ever.

Right lets go back to the Banana Man era when we didn't lock anybody up.

[dsmith421]

Rather it be Hoover

Amazing that everyone else on the team gets hurt and Hoover is indestructible. In 100,000 years, all humans and animal life will have ceased to be, except for JJ Hoover hanging sliders to the nearest cockroach.

[tomnuetten]

I don´t have much hope but it is still early.... (it´s 3am and I have to give myself a bit hope to stay awake..)

[Rantly]

Where is Front Row Amy?

[Reds Fanatic]

Nelson grounds out to short

[Larkin Fan]

Yeah. But...money, or something.

Blech.

IMO, the money excuse went out the window when the Reds dropped a bundle of cash on Iglesias.

[Tom Servo]

He should have looked at the schedule. The need for a DH in NY. Playing the Brewers on the road.

Some of us mentioned the need for hitting in, say, April of 2013 and all winter.
You wanted the offense at positions such as third, left, and center. Third and center have been huge successes by staying pat. Catcher has been above average offensively as well. Walt decided to roll with the guy he is already paying several million this year and he has provided a .730 OPS. Not very good, but not a disaster.

Unless Walt had a crystal ball that foretold him Votto and Phillips would miss significant chunks of the season, I don't see what Walt could have done besides trade the farm for Tulowitzki (or give up a 1st round pick for a lousy Stephen Drew) or spend money he apparently didn't have on a Nelson Cruz or Marlon Byrd.

[Ironman92]

On the crazy swing with power front....everyone's favorite non-Red Hunter Pence just did one of his infamous Frazier-like swings, looked terrible and hit it 445 ft

No idea how those two do it

[BluegrassRedleg]

He should have looked at the schedule. The need for a DH in NY. Playing the Brewers on the road.

Some of us mentioned the need for hitting in, say, April of 2013 and all winter.

Starting to think, in Walt's eyes, the wishbone C stands for "Can't."

[Reds Fanatic]

Gomez pops out to 1st

[Ironman92]

Gomez hits a Heisey

[kbrake]

I feel like my current mood about this team and this season is how a half dozen or so posters have to feel all the time based on their post and I have no idea how or why they watch baseball. This sucks.

[dubc47834]

Nope. Do it virtually. My fantasy drafted Orioles on the The Show are indomitable.

Cold Comfort.

:beerme:...its all good man. I was due for one of these type days. Haven;t had one in a few years...LOL!!!

[tomnuetten]

according to the brewers nelson has never gotten a hit in his career (including minors)... I think we´ll see one tonight

[toledodan]

I feel like my current mood about this team and this season is how a half dozen or so posters have to feel all the time based on their post and I have no idea how or why they watch baseball. This sucks.

We love the team and that's why we're here. It's just frustrating.

[Mutaman]

Unless Walt had a crystal ball that foretold him Votto and Phillips would miss significant chunks of the season, I don't see what Walt could have done besides trade the farm for Tulowitzki (or give up a 1st round pick for a lousy Stephen Drew) or spend money he apparently didn't have on a Nelson Cruz or Marlon Byrd.

You will note that 99% of those who complain about Walt never specifically suggest what he should have done.

[Tom Servo]

We love the team and that's why we're here. It's just frustrating.
kbrake's point though is that even when the Reds were winning regularly people acted miserable around here.

[Reds Fanatic]

Nice play by Schumaker. 2-0 Brewers after 3

[kbrake]

We love the team and that's why we're here. It's just frustrating.

You're not one of those people. I know this because I can still see your post.

[toledodan]

You will note that 99% of those who complain about Walt never specifically suggest what he should have done.

True but we aren't being paid to make those decisions or nap. :)

[Tom Servo]

2 pretty easy innings for Homer after that rough first.

[Red Raindog]

I lied. I'm going to watch to see if Hamilton does anything in the first before I find something else to do.

grandkids are away & they want to watch Tremors 3 & 4 another night so I'm here watching Homer be Homer

[toledodan]

Nice play by skip

[Mutaman]

kbrake's point though is that even when the Reds were winning regularly people acted miserable around here.

I definitely think how folks acted here when we were winning is number one on our list of problems and we should devote a lot of posts to it. On the bright side, I don't suspect we will have to deal with that problem for awhile.

[Kc61]

You will note that 99% of those who complain about Walt never specifically suggest what he should have done.

This is not true at all. There have been hundreds of suggested trades and signings. There have been threads and posts galore with specifics.

Not true at all.

[Red Raindog]

Gomez hits a Heisey

I thought Cozart had that patent

[Reds Fanatic]

Hamilton singles to center. First hit of the night

[Mutaman]

True but we aren't being paid to make those decisions or nap. :)

We're not being paid to complain about it either, but that hasn't stopped a lot of folks. ;)

[Tom Servo]

Skip's fly like paper, get high like planes

Bona fide hustler making his name

[Larkin Fan]

You're not one of those people. I know this because I can still see your post.

The ignore feature is wonderful, isn't it?

[toledodan]

Billy ball

[Reds Fanatic]

Easy steal for Hamilton as LuCroy drops the ball

[Larkin Fan]

I thought Cozart had that patent

Cozart and Heisey co-patented it.

[kbrake]

The ignore feature is wonderful, isn't it?

The only problem is sometimes I find myself really curious about just how absurd they are being and click the "show post" button which really defeats the purpose haha

[Red Raindog]

The ignore feature is wonderful, isn't it?

almost perfect -- but when people reply to the "ignored" you still see it -- major help though

[Mutaman]

This is not true at all. There have been hundreds of suggested trades and signings. There have been threads and posts galore with specifics.

Not true at all.

I knew that would get a rise out of you. Too bad my bookies' line was busy. I will conceed ther were a lot of "sign Jacob Ellsberry" posts. Also trade Hoover for McCutchen.

[wheels]

Who is Front Row Amy?

I feel like it's something I need to know.

[Reds Fanatic]

Schumaker grounds out to short but good baserunning by Hamilton to go to 3rd after the throw

Frazier hit by the pitch

I'm only familiar with Airforce Amy....from a certain HBO series.

[Rantly]

BIG at bat for Bruce..

[Red Raindog]

Pirates would be calling for blood --- Todd gets hit in back

[dsmith421]

Who is Front Row Amy?

I feel like it's something I need to know.

She's a woman with large bosoms that sits in the front row in Milwaukee. Named Amy. The woman, not the bosoms.

Come on, Jay . . .

[Kc61]

I knew that would get a rise out of you. Too bad my bookies' line was busy. I will conceed ther were a lot of "sign Jacob Ellsberry" posts. Also trade Hoover for McCutchen.

I think some of us did better than that.

I would clearly throw in a prospect in that McCutchen deal. But not Stephenson, Winker or Lorenzen.

[Reds Fanatic]

it is raining in a field with a retractable roof. Good pre planning by the Brewers

[Tom Servo]

Finally! A break! Bruuuuuuuuuuce

[Reds Fanatic]

Big hit. Bruce doubles to right. 2-1 Brewers

[WVRedsFan]

Bruuuuuce!

[Chuckie]

Apples. How do you like them?

[Red Raindog]

Bruce!

lucky is good too

[Kc61]

Do I see some offense!

Almost woke me up.

[Ironman92]

Bruce gets lucky but not striking out will give you a fair share of those.

IF playing in....just seems to rarely work

[wheels]

I'm only familiar with Airforce Amy....from a certain HBO series.

Someone mentioned her earlier and I've been scanning the stands looking for heaving girlie bits.

Front Row Amy

I can get behind that.

[reds44]

Ludwick is toast.

[Tom Servo]

Well there's the bad luck again.

[Reds Fanatic]

Pena grounds off Nelson it goes to Gennett how throws him out. 2-1 Brewers mid 4th

[Mutaman]

Life is better when Jay gets a hit.

[Ironman92]

Segura was playing up the middle

[kbrake]

God forbid the luck extends for longer than 30 seconds. Good grief.

[WVRedsFan]

Unbelievable. Nelson looks like he's losing it and then throws three perfect pitches and gets a lucky bounce.

[reds44]

I can get behind that.

You need to so you avoid her face.

[Red Raindog]

Airforce Amy is more patriotic though

[Rantly]

Someone mentioned her earlier and I've been scanning the stands looking for heaving girlie bits.

Front row Amy...When there, she sits in front row behind home plate, actually keeps score. Goes to the games by herself.

[Kc61]

Cozart, Santiago and Bailey up next inning.

[kbrake]

Airforce Amy is about as wretched as this offense.

[Reds Fanatic]

Thom correcting one his many mistakes. So I guess in Thom's world a lead does not count unless it as the end of a full inning.

Ground out to 3rd

[Rantly]

I can get behind that.

There she is! Thanks Tom!

[dubc47834]

I can get behind that.

I could think of a couple ways to get behind that.

[reds44]

Airforce Amy is about as wretched as this offense.

at least shes legal lol

This thread is just what this team needed haha this is going off the rails.

I'll be home shortly. Getting beer on the way home.

Team Booze will soothe my pain.

[Ironman92]

What happened?

He threw Lucroy a curve that Pena made look good and Homer took two steps toward the dugout....ump called a ball (K zone showed it 2-3 inches off plate) and Homer lipped "my bad" to the ump and then patted his chest. Next pitch he fans him and Homer walked in to say more to the ump...assuming a bit more of an apology.

I like it.

[Reds Fanatic]

What happened?

He started to walk to the dugout after what looked like strike 3

[kbrake]

Handled it better than Latos

Kinda proud of Homer

I thought Latos handled things pretty well last night. After watching Heisey misplay every possible fly ball and then Lutz boot a routine ball I would have been ready to kill someone.

[Kc61]

I read Price's explanation for sitting Mes tonight.

But doesn't it seem like the Reds are constantly sitting a healthy regular during this last stretch?

Reds have offensive troubles, yet never seem to play all their guys.

Oh well, please continue with your fine comments on the game and, well, other things.

[Ironman92]

Scooter out of the game?

[wheels]

Things always go better when you start thinking about girls.

It's a tactic I've been using in the real world for the last couple of years.

[Reds Fanatic]

Scooter out of the game?

Yes replaced by Weeks

I know, hard to believe he has that many.

[wheels]

Nelson tried to walk Cozart, but Zack wouldn't let him.

He is finally successful with Santiago.

Bailey bunts Santiago to 2nd

Hamilton flies out to center. 2-1 Brewers mid 5th

[Ironman92]

I thought Latos handled things pretty well last night. After watching Heisey misplay every possible fly ball and then Lutz boot a routine ball I would have been ready to kill someone.

No....he was ticked at the ump before anything on defense even happened.

Oh OK I didn't see the first few innings.

A challenger appears!

Davis strikes out looking. 3 Ks.

[Ironman92]

And Homer just got that call to K Davis

[RedTeamGo!]

home runs by Cozart - 2


Cozart is so bad he has negative home runs

[Ironman92]

Christ guys....I GREATLY appreciate the colossal boob pics but my wife is wondering what the heck I'm looking at.

A: I don't see anything wrong with her face.

B: I need to get to Milwaukee

[Tom Servo]

Wheels coming off all of a sudden for Homie.

[kbrake]

If this season unravels I could see Thom and Chris actually throwing punches at some point. Chris really seems to be tired of Thom and checking him at every possible opportunity. I like it.

[Reds Fanatic]

Perfect bunt by Nelson moves the runners over

[BluegrassRedleg]

Hate to agree with Thom, but don't ever say an unkind word about the J Geils Band, Creeper!

[Ironman92]

Gomez has struggled....

[Ironman92]

Careful

[dsmith421]

If you were offered the following bargain, would you take it? The Reds collapse down the stretch and miss the playoffs BUT Thom Brenneman is fired out of a cannon into the sun.

I think I would. It would be nice to watch a Reds game without the TV on mute.

[villain612]

Sorry I'm late guys. Just got back from Bdubs\'s. Post-game celebration for my softball team. Clinched league champs tonight.

I think our offense could give this one a run for its money.

[kbrake]

Please make him chase.

I'd be afraid it would make Thom more powerful. Like Nuclear Man from Superman IV.

Dude. You missed AMY.

There has been tension between the two for awhile, mostly Creeper against Thom.

[Reds Fanatic]

Another walk to Gomez. And the Reds killer Weeks is up

[kbrake]

"A walk, a hit batter, and ANOTHER walk." Good lord shut the hell up, Thom.

[Tom Servo]

At least it's not Bill Hall.

[tomnuetten]

I thought it was a strike.. not a bad pitch

[Tom Servo]

Same. Of course, FS Ohio can't be bothered to show a replay.

[Ironman92]

Thom is ate up....that 2-2 pitch was 3 inches off the ground and he was growling cause Homer wasn't getting the close pitches?

[villain612]

Dude. You missed AMY.

No I didn't. Mobile Redszone ;)

[Ironman92]

Old man Weeks is who I want up

[Reds Fanatic]

Where was that pitch

[Tom Servo]

exhale

[kbrake]

Alright Cozart gets a free pass from me for at least a week.

[Ironman92]

K zone making Thom look like even more of a homerific moron

[Reds Fanatic]

Broken bat ground out to short. 2-1 Brewers after 5

[reds1869]

Nicely done, Homer! Cozart, too!

[tomnuetten]

Same. Of course, FS Ohio can't be bothered to show a replay.

was a little bit inside.. brewers feed showed a replay and pitch fx...

[wheels]

I say the Reds draw blood this inning. The Nelson kid is a meltdown waiting to happen.

[villain612]

Amy who?

glad Homer got out of that.. wish this offense would wake up from their All Star Break...they look like they did in April.. or they just got to Spring Training and hadnt seen baseball in awhile.. Time to step it up..

[kbrake]
