5/15/16 - Reds @ Phillies

[_Sir_Charles_]

LOL. Nearly a salami.

[The Operator]

LOL another very near grand slam.

[InsaneinthBrame]

I do not think this lead is that safe

[Big Klu]

Oh, and then remember the time Eagles fans cheered the sight of a motionless Michael Irvin when he suffered a career ending neck injury?

And don't forget this tasty morsel:

Drew Hayes makes me long for Jumbo Diaz.

[50YrRedsFan]

I would send him back to Louisville when Billy Hamilton returns.

Maybe I am harsh, but why do the Reds continue to use players that obviously are not going to help the team move forward.

[The Operator]

Ball four :rolleyes

[malcontent]

I actually did not know that, though I kind of assumed due to the various pot shots. I guess congrats on finally having it pay off this year.
You should worry that's going to become a trend. I'm a Reds fan. Not that it matters this year or the next.

[marcshoe]

This is just silly.

[Tony Cloninger]

I actually thought this guy should have been up 2 years ago or so when he had good numbers in Double A. Good grief I am a terrible scout.

[The Operator]

And don't forget this tasty morsel:

https://cdn.psychologytoday.com/files/u924/fan.jpgAh I'd forgotten about that one.

[WVRedsFan]

LOL another very near grand slam.You gotta blame Price here. If he's the pitching guru everyone claims he is, why put H in the game? Oh well, I'll catch heck for that,

[The Operator]

No worries. This was just Price's way of creating a save situation for our shutdown closer Cingrani.

[marcshoe]

Peraza didn't stay in the game after the pinch hit, did he? (sorry; I'm not paying that much attention). He looks like he could pitch.

['69]

I would send him back to Louisville when Billy Hamilton returns.

I think you will get your wish, even though the Reds recent MO is sending the replacement player back down. Besides plenty off mop-up level relievers on the roster.

[Tom Servo]

You gotta blame Price here. If he's the pitching guru everyone claims he is, why put H in the game? Oh well, I'll catch heck for that,
I'm not a fan of Price, but it's a six run lead and the guy IS in the bullpen. If he can't get three outs here, he doesn't belong on the team.

[Gandalf the Red]

Phillies dugout: "Where's JJ Hoover when we need him?"

[marcshoe]

You know how little kids don't know where babies come from? The Reds don't know where relief pitchers come from. Someone needs to sit them down and tell them the facts of life. Hint: you don't find them under cabbage leaves.

[Tony Cloninger]

There has to be a better choice in the farm system.

There's always Hoover.

[Tom Servo]

Putting in Cingrani in a bases loaded situation does not strike me as the best of ideas.

[The Operator]

Force out at home. 2 outs.

[Big Klu]

Maybe I am harsh, but why do the Reds continue to use players that obviously are not going to help the team move forward.

Price has an odd philosophy that certain pitchers in the bullpen only pitch in winning or competitive games, and other pitchers only pitch in losing or mop-up games.

I would prefer that they carry fewer pitchers, but quality arms who could pitch in either situation.

[The Operator]

REDS WIN!

Finally!!

[Ron Madden]

Great Job By Cingranni !!!! :thumbup:

[Tony Cloninger]

Tony C.....GGGGrrrrrrreeeeeeaaaatttt!

[BluegrassRedleg]

If Chuck Noll was a baseball manager in his day, he would have called Hayes into the office and informed him "It's time to get on with your life's work, son."

I agree but with these starters you need almost a 15 man bullpen.

I also would prefer no more Price after this year as well.

[WVRedsFan]

This bullpen always tries to snatch defeat from victory. Just unnecessary.

[_Sir_Charles_]

The Reds have been looking in Louisville. At this point I think suggesting that they DO look under cabbage leaves might be appropriate.

[Ron Madden]

There's always Hoover.

I said a better choice..:laugh:

[Big Klu]

I said a better choice..:laugh:

Jumbo?

[Ron Madden]

Jumbo?

Maybe later. ;)

[WVRedsFan]

Hayes ERA 8.38. Time to take the bus to Louisville.

[Ron Madden]

Bryan Price said Straily was pitching with a small blood blister on his finger.

[The Operator]

Bryan Price said Straily was pitching with a small blood blister on his finger.I got those all the time in high school. They are so painful.

I even had one burst on me one time and the ump came out and said "Son, why is this baseball covered in blood?".

Thank you.

Just a blog. Just one guy's opinion, like any post you see here on Redszone. It has no merit, and is meaningless ;)

[Raisor]

Votto will work it out. As bad as he's been since Monday, he still has a 851 ops in May.

[Sea Ray]

If Chuck Noll was a baseball manager in his day, he would have called Hayes into the office and informed him "It's time to get on with your life's work, son."



Actually it was Paul Brown who started that saying. Here Noll acknowledges hearing it from Brown first:


He jumped at it. “I think Paul felt I was trying to jump leagues and go there as a player,” Noll says. “He’d always stressed the idea of pro football being an interim between college and the rest of your life. He used to call it: `Getting into your life’s work.’
