[WrongVerb]

Hello from AT&T. Seems like I can't upload pics but I'll comment from time to time.

[_Sir_Charles_]

<--- quite shocked we're seeing Sampson again. I think we've seen what he is at this point. I hope I'm wrong.

[WrongVerb]

Yeah I'd like to see Finnigan get a start and Sampson seems the logical guy to replace. But I've been wrong a few times this season so we'll see.

[Big Klu]

Kelch and Welsh doing the game tonight. Probably the best duo on the TV side, IMO.

[Ironman92]

They'll kill Hudson

[Ironman92]

Votto with walk #128....tied for 68th most ever in a season and ties with 22 year old Adam Dunn, Babe Ruth, Killebrew, Mike Schmidt, Yastrzemski and of course Billy Hamilton.

[WrongVerb]

Suarez just plain missed catching that ball.

[Ironman92]

Suarez missed a close toss, Bruce missed picking up the ball, Phillips dropped the cutoff throw

[Ironman92]

And Billy Hamilton just showed everyone how to play defense

[BCubb2003]

And Billy Hamilton just showed everyone how to play defense

Put that in his OPS.

[Ironman92]

Votto with walk #128....tied for 68th most ever in a season and ties with 22 year old Adam Dunn, Babe Ruth, Killebrew, Mike Schmidt, Yastrzemski and of course Billy Hamilton.

Dunn'a highest walk season at age 22, Babe's last year leading league in HR and had 162 RBI, Schmidt led the league in HR

And Billy Hamilton had 100 SB with a 1.044 OPS

[Ironman92]

Put that in his OPS.

Saved a ton because that would've been at least a double and then Byrd's just would've been 1 out

[Kc61]

Didn't see the Suarez play, but the errors are becoming a concern IMO.

Wonder how the Reds internal scouts view him defensively.

It could be growing pains, but errors are mounting up.

Phillips did not make a good toss but he has to finish that play.

Phillips bobbled a routine ball just now and just recovered in time.

Phillips has touched the ball 3x and no errors given but has mishandled each time a bit like we aren't used to seeing

[WVRedsFan]

I know there is no one else, but haven't we seen enough of Sampson to know he's not ready fo prime time? What am I missing here?

[BCubb2003]

Marty hinting at retiring in the "not-too-distant future."

[Kc61]

I know there is no one else, but haven't we seen enough of Sampson to know he's not ready fo prime time? What am I missing here?

Some of the guys, Lorenzen, Iggy, are approaching their innings limits.

I think Sampson is staying in the rotation because he's probably not near an innings limit.

Reds just trying to cover all the games with starting pitchers.

Doesn't mean anything in terms of the future, one way or the other, IMO.

[Ironman92]

Dee Gordon catching BHam

[WVRedsFan]

Dee Gordon catching BHamprobably pass him. Billy just doesn't get on base enough to justify him starting.

[Kc61]

Nice play by Suarez there, deep in the hole.

[GADawg]

Nice play by Suarez there, deep in the hole.

Reminds me of Rafael Ramirez....you get punked 'round here for complaining about Suarez' defense even though I've sifted thru endless threads here in the past bemoaning left field defense of all things

[Kc61]

A fair number of rocket shots off Keyvius tonight.

4-0 Giants.

[WVRedsFan]

Byrd is a pure hitter.

[WrongVerb]

Bruce can't get after it like he used to. And I don't know if it's affecting play, but the cold wind is blowing tonight.

And I'm under dressed for this.

[Ironman92]

Those balls looked blasted via the boob tube. Easy HR in GABP for Byrd

[WVRedsFan]

Joey = slow

Where are you sitting?

[Tom Servo]

Quality at-bat by Boesch.

[Ironman92]

Wins by pitchers may not matter but Tim Hudson began his career 83-33. That's pretty amazing to me. I remember watching his first ever start and this skinny kid on the mound threw like Pedro and fanned 11 in his 5 innings.

[Ironman92]

SMH at Votto bowling with his jeans cuffed

[WVRedsFan]

Stylish

[WrongVerb]

Where are you sitting?

Wandering around looking at the park at the moment. Seat is just left of the left field foul pole.

[WrongVerb]

Why didn't Bochy leave Hudson in to teach him a lesson?

[WrongVerb]

Wouldn't surprise me if they pitched around Joey, even with the bases loaded.

[Ironman92]

73 RBI for Votto on a bases loaded walk...ump squeezed pitcher a touch but the walk was inevitable. Now Phillips can swing for a TD

[Ironman92]

Why didn't Bochy leave Hudson in to teach him a lesson?

Because Hudson had double digit wins in the 1900's.

[Ironman92]

Walk #129 now tied for 63rd most ever in a season

Tied with Mantle, Dykstra, Yost and Giambi twice

[Ironman92]

Hamilton is replaced in CF by Lamarre

[50YrRedsFan]

I know there is no one else, but haven't we seen enough of Sampson to know he's not ready fo prime time? What am I missing here?

San Diego had seen enough. I guess the Reds had to see for themselves. Not a major league pitcher. Hope he's not at spring training.

[50YrRedsFan]

Quality at-bat by Boesch.
I would like to know what the OBP is for the 4 outfielders the Reds have played tonight.

[50YrRedsFan]

Jumbo may throw 98 mph, but is straight as an arrow. Easy to hit for a major leaguer.

[WVRedsFan]

I would like to know what the OBP is for the 4 outfielders the Reds have played tonight.not good. Reds have stockpiled pitcher while forgetting you must score to win imho.

[WVRedsFan]

Through 6, it's 4-1 Guants.

[WrongVerb]

Why send the big power guy off the bench in to pinch hit when a home run can't tie or put the team ahead?

[WVRedsFan]

Why send the big power guy off the bench in to pinch hit when a home run can't tie or put the team ahead?youre in Bryan's world. You'll understand by and by.

[WrongVerb]

BRUUUUUUUUCCCEEEEEe!

[WVRedsFan]

Bruce!!!!

[Ironman92]

Bruce went about 435 on that down the middle fastball

[WVRedsFan]

4-3

[Big Klu]

Congratulations to Jay Bruce, who has tied Eric Davis for eighth place on the Reds all-time home run list!

AT&T is being invaded by seagulls

[50YrRedsFan]

not good. Reds have stockpiled pitcher while forgetting you must score to win imho.

Pensacola made the playoffs with a good 2nd half. They were swept in 3 games by Biloxi. They managed just 3 hits in game 1, 3 hits in game 2, and 5 hits in game 3.
I like to know how the Reds expect to contend in a couple of years when there are so few hitters in the pipeline.

I think the best hitting prospect for the Reds, after Winker, is playing college ball this year.

[BluegrassRedleg]

This dude has spent his whole career getting the Reds to swing at garbage.

I think you're reading too much into a three-game series in September at AA against a quality opponent.

[BluegrassRedleg]

He's thrown about 300 career pitches against us, 17 in the strike zone.

[WVRedsFan]

Hopper in. Hope it was a one year contract.

[BluegrassRedleg]

Every Day Badenhop.

[WVRedsFan]

Junk Badenhop

[Big Klu]

Hopper in. Hope it was a one year contract.

Nah. Dish Network always suckers you into a two-year deal.

[WrongVerb]

Suarez has given up more runs than the Reds pitchers tonight.

[WrongVerb]

BHam with a shoulder. Day to day, as we all are.

[WVRedsFan]

Good job, Hopper. Alliow a run, making it nearly impossible to catch up. With an assist from Suarez. Pitiful.

[WVRedsFan]

Suarez singles with Caberra up. Pray for a 4-4.

[WrongVerb]

Why send the big power guy off the bench in to pinch hit when a home run can't tie or put the team ahead?

As I was saying earlier...

[WVRedsFan]

Cabrera goes 4-4 and now it's first and second no one out and the genius manager sends Skippy to hit. I wanna puke.

- - - Updated - - -

Skippy always 0-2

[WVRedsFan]

Skippy strikes out and Tucker hits. How can you make it any easier?

[50YrRedsFan]

Skippy strikes out and Tucker hits. How can you make it any easier?

Bryan can.

I must admit I would rather have Barnhart hit instead of LaMarre.

[WVRedsFan]

Tucker with a good AB.

[WVRedsFan]

And then strikes out. Two out with Jay up.

[WrongVerb]

Tucker with a good AB.

:laugh:

[50YrRedsFan]

Barnhart K's on a nasty pitch. Good AB

[WVRedsFan]

Byrd, the one who wasn't worth keeping and too old, a lousy fielder, and fodder makes the final out and the Reds keep on their quest for 100 losses.

[WVRedsFan]

Dan, you deserved better. Cold and in the enemy's camp, have an Anchor Steam for me.

[50YrRedsFan]

Byrd, the one who wasn't worth keeping and too old, a lousy fielder, and fodder makes the final out and the Reds keep on their quest for 100 losses.

Reds have 19 left and have lost 83. They won't get to 100 losses. They would have to go 2-17. They aren't that bad, are they?

[WVRedsFan]

Probably not, but not good nonetheless. Just looking forward to a different brain trust next year, but many don't want that. Boggles my mind, but then again I'm not a genius like Bryan. Mea Culpa.

[WVRedsFan]

Another one run loss, by the way..

[Ironman92]

Another one run loss, by the way..

5-3= 2
