Hispanic Heritage Day- Reds bench all their Hispanic players, will they be wearing Los Rojos shirts.

Schumaker and Hannahan- just make it stop! Maybe the flu has hit the team and this is who is well.

Did Price address that he said he would use the call ups against non contenders, but then doesn't do it against the Mets?

[Ironman92]

Since July 9th

Skip Schumaker has had 27 starts (not counting today)....here are his stats in Reds wins since July 9th

3 hits, 1 doubles, 0 HR, 2 runs, 3 RBI


Also since July 9th Chris Heisey has had 18 starts...here are the same stats in Reds wins during that time.

13 hits, 4 doubles, 4 HR, 9 runs, 5 RBI

Neither are the answer as Luddy is a bit better but the sheer # of starts Skip gets is beyond perplexing and his stats that show how much he had contributed in Reds wins is hilarious. He does nothing and apparently has bad karma as well.

I like him....but I don't get it. Good clubhouse guy and 17th inning pitcher.

But...but ...but the Mets are only seven games out of the wild card. :rolleyes: I won't be watching today. This is beyond stupid not playing any of the call ups and playing the Schu and Hannahan.

[dougdirt]

This lineup makes it a lot easier to not even flip over to the Reds game today, much less setting up a second screen to watch it.

What do you mean the Mets aren't in contention?

The Reds are in an absolute dog fight against the Mets right now. Draft status, and records are on the line here.

They actually are in contention.

For last place.

[Larkin Fan]

Can anyone remember a Sunday game in recent years that wasn't televised? I sure can't.

Of course, it may actually be a blessing with the way the Reds are playing, but I still love to watch baseball.

[Ironman92]

Because Bengals opener? No idea but Reds rating would have to be better than a re showing of Kansas St football game.

[klw]

1st and 2nd and no outs for Reds in the second followed by a Bruce flyout and Hannahan GIDP. 0-0 top 3rd


Phillips was HBP in 2nd but is still in game:

John Fay @johnfayman · 12m

Phillips hit by a pitch. Appeared to be left hand. He was in pain. Staying in the game. Same hand that he had surgery on. #reds

[klw]

0-0 going to the 4th. Reds with no hits yet.

[klw]

0-0 bottom 4 but Reds have them loaded an no outs.

[Tom Servo]

0-0 bottom 4 but Reds have them loaded an no outs.
DatDudeDP strikes again :(

[klw]

Philips GIDP to pitcher. 2nd and 3rd now with 2 outs.

[Kc61]

So we have Phillips, apparently playing hurt, getting hit by a pitch in the hand. Stays in game and hits a comebacker with bases loaded no outs.

I'm not a big fan of playing September callups for the heck of it. But why Phillips is out there is absolutely beyond me.

Gamer + established starter = never comes out with any Reds manager.

[50YrRedsFan]

Can we just be rid of Hannahan already?

[AmarilloRed]

1-0 Reds lead after 5.

[Ironman92]

Skip with 2 hits....not a good omen, but good for him.

[Ironman92]

How did BHam error?

[Tom Servo]

Skip with 2 hits....not a good omen, but good for him.
For the record...I still don't hate the Skip signing. I just hate that anybody in the Reds organization thinks it was or is a good idea to play him so much.

[toledodan]

How did BHam error?

Flat missed the ball drifting back

[BCubb2003]

Latos throwing things in the dugout after giving up a two-run homer.

[Red Raindog]

It makes me truly doubt Price's gray cells and I was gung ho on getting him hired...

[50YrRedsFan]

Hannahan K's again...this time with Phillips on second. 3-1 Mets after 6

[50YrRedsFan]

LeCure in for Latos. Sam hasn't been lecure for anything lately.

[Tony Cloninger]

Can we just be rid of Hannahan already?

Incredibly......they have an option for next year. Walt has just missed horrifically when it comes to a lot of his bench signings.

[BCubb2003]

Hannahan drops a foul pop.

[50YrRedsFan]

Now Hannahan drops a pop foul for an error. He shouldn't have gotten out of bed this morning.

[toledodan]

HOOVER! !

[Red Raindog]

Now Hannahan drops a pop foul for an error. He shouldn't have gotten out of bed this YEAR.

fixed it for you

[50YrRedsFan]

And Price puts Hoover in against a power left hander.....Granderson HR after the error on Hannahan......2014 Reds baseball.

[BCubb2003]

If this is an audition, nobody's passing.

[50YrRedsFan]

Mets with 0 earned runs today.

[Red Raindog]

Bruce now at .214 -- good thing he doesn't have time to get to Mendoza

[Tom Servo]

Hoover is hilarious. You can set your watch to the home run.

[Kc61]

Some good NFL games today.

OT games.

If there is such a thing as a baseball doctor, somebody who fixes teams playing miserably, Reds could use that individual.

[Kc61]

Reds in business in bottom nine. If anyone is there.

[Tom Servo]

If anyone is there.

one run loss lol

[Kc61]

Not quite yet. Reds win the review of Frazier's grounder.

Shadows, two outs, bases loaded for Mes.

Now it's over.

[Magdal]

Not quite yet. Reds win the review of Frazier's grounder.

Shadows, two outs, bases loaded for Mes.Life after death!

[Ironman92]

Skip remains unlucky....at least he played well though

Death after life after death.

These game threads seem to getting shorter, Hmm... must have something to do with the onset of Fall and the days getting shorter. :dunno:

Had something to do with it not being on tv!

It happens each year in September, especially on the weekends.

[WVRedsFan]

Took another day off from the Reds. I thought it might bring good luck. I was wrong, but it worked so well yesterday. Rats! Reds must now win the last 19 in a row to meet my prediction of 86-76. I won't hold my breath. In fact, they'll be lucky to win 7 of those 19 ending up at 74-88.
