PLAY PEREZA! Does Phillips really have to play every f'n day?

apparently

[GADawg]

PLAY PEREZA! Does Phillips really have to play every f'n day?

Well let's see he was 3for 4 yesterday wit a couple of Ribbies and scored3 runs so yep I'd bench him

[Ironman92]

Yes, this is not new info whether any of us agree on it or not.

[Tony Cloninger]

No one said bench him but Peraza is clearly showing he can play and should be able to procure 1 start a week at 2B and SS.

I realize we are not rebuilding though and really just going through a down faze of course. (Did I say we? I meant They)

[Ironman92]

Some believe it is moo but I would like 6+ effective innings out of Homer today

Homer off to a ho hum start

[gilpdawg]

He's got no fastball today. Might be a quick outing.

[Ironman92]

Now it's just a bad start early on

[Ironman92]

Great throw by Billy but couldn't hold on 4-0

[Raisor]

Marty going OFF on Cabrera and the front office for having him on the roster.

[Ironman92]

High pitch count and high run total. Disappointing and didn't even face Goldy

[PutPeteIn]

Bailey hasnt had a fast ball over 92 in his last two starts.
Usually between 95-97.
TJS is a pill.

[Ironman92]

Too bad Phillips is starting

[Banshee]

Shebby oppo HR again. Process.

Right now him and Peraza is what I am looking at and getting happy about.

[Ironman92]

Bailey hasnt had a fast ball over 92 in his last two starts.
Usually between 95-97.
TJS is a pill.

I would love for him to learn how to pitch with only 92 and then when his 95-97 returns he'll be that much better.

[Big Klu]

Marty going OFF on Cabrera and the front office for having him on the roster.

Cabrera was never intended to be the backup catcher for the Reds all season long. He was supposed to be the catcher at Louisville, and available as an emergency catcher for the Reds.

When it turns out that your $28M catcher is made of fine china, then you end up with AAA players like Cabrera as the backup catcher.

[Banshee]

Homer gone, ugh. Injury? Jeebus, hope it's just a bad couple starts..

[PutPeteIn]

I have a bad feeling about Bailey.

[Raisor]

Too bad Phillips is starting

Too bad he won't accept a trade where building up his numbers would actually mean something

[malcontent]

I have a bad feeling about Bailey.
Mine started when he signed that $105M contract.

[Raisor]

you're such a malcontent

[HokieRed]

Could we actually have made out like bandits in the Frazier trade?

[Raisor]

Marty says that Josh Smith should be embarrassed for not holding the runner well enough.

[Raisor]

Marty just got what field Billy Hamilton singled to incorrect. He should be embarrassed.

[BluegrassRedleg]

Replays like this are sheer stupidity.

[Raisor]

Replay shows Billy didn't keep contact with 2nd and is called out. He should be embarrassed.

[Larkin11]

I still don't see in the replay where he actually tagged Billy as he came off the bag.

[Raisor]

Marty and I agree on replay. I should be embarrassed.

[BluegrassRedleg]

Interesting to ponder: Why is that a "caught stealing?" He stole the base. Would it not be akin to singling, making the turn and getting tagged out?

[PutPeteIn]

Still no word on Bailey?
Seriously?

[Raisor]

Maybe caught stealing third base?

Not hurt. Just stinky.

[Raisor]

Marty still railing on poor Josh Smith who isn't in the game anymore.

[Raisor]

Marty with another swipe at Smith as Ohlendorf gives up a 3-run HR to some dork

[Ironman92]

Yorman Thomas killed that

[PutPeteIn]

Olendorf is our white flag.

[Raisor]

Yorman Thomas killed that

Yorman Thomas

Is he Gorman's grandson?

[PutPeteIn]

What will happen sooner...Reds have a winning season or hell freezes over?

[Donder]

Interesting to ponder: Why is that a "caught stealing?" He stole the base. Would it not be akin to singling, making the turn and getting tagged out?

I had the exact same thought. It seems like logically maybe it should be a stolen base plus a pick-off.

[Raisor]

Dude. What happened to the optimism?

[Ironman92]

Yorman Thomas

Is he Gorman's grandson?

Last Reds game I went to the moron in front of me in the OF kept calling him Yorman Thomas...even though the stadium PA guy kept pronouncing it correctly.

He about gave me a stroke.

[Ironman92]

Yorman Thomas

Is he Gorman's grandson?

Gorman could strikeout like the big guys today.

[WVRedsFan]

Dude. What happened to the optimism?Life eventually makes us all realists. It took him a little longer.

[Raisor]

Gorman could strikeout like the big guys today.


I think I've said this before here, but my 3rd and 4th grade teacher was friends with him. I have no idea why I remember that.

[malcontent]

you're such a malcontent
It may not be apparent, but I'm just desperately trying to curb my enthusiasm.

Because it is marginally awesome

My parents use to hang out with my teacher and her husband. So my parents are one couple removed from Gorman Thomas.

I'm quite jealous. My aunt was best friends with Jeff Montgomery's sister.

During my elementary school days the cook was the daughter of Pat Duncan.

Ah, a variation of the Kevin Bacon Game! I like it!

Raffy Lopez makes his Reds debut, rocking the #61 made famous by Bronson Arroyo and most recently worn by Tim "Don't call me Ishmael" Melville.

[Tom Servo]

Called strike one to Peraza was several feet outside the zone according to Gameday, guess the umps just want to move this one along.

Pat Duncan was born and raised 3 miles from me in tiny Coalton Ohio (also just 3 miles from where Jeff Montgomery was raised in Wellston Ohio)...Duncan also shares Coalton with the guy who does the Wooo chant late in games at GABP

I attend the same church with former Rockies pitcher Kevin Ritz, and a friend of mine is friends with former Pirates coach Rich Donnelly. So my connection number is 2, 3, or 4 with just about everyone in MLB.

I have 238 Nobel Prizes.

I used to have 239 but they took the one I got for mediating the end of World War I away because I failed a drug test.

So you should have been mediating, but instead you were medicating?

I dated a girl in college who had a friend back home in England who was a college friend of Sarah Ferguson, the ex-daughter-in-law of Queen Elizabeth II. So my connection number ("Kevin Bacon number") with the Queen is 4.

That pitch missed by a lot. Votto, of course, was right.

Last spring he was having an intervention with former Reds reliever (and teammate at FSU) Richie Lewis on Dr. Phil.

Speaking of which, when are you taking Dr. Phil to court for trademark infringement?

[Ironman92]

Homer now 6 starts only 23 innings and 6.65 ERA

[Big Klu]

On pace for 69-93.

Thank god I know Puffy

[WVRedsFan]

Today we were reminded that pitching is everything in this game of baseball. We ran out Bailey, and then Smith, Ohlendorf, and Diaz give up 12 hits and 7 runs Those three should be on the farm somewhere.

[Tom Servo]

9 of his 17 earned runs have come in these last two starts where is mostly just throwing BP fastballs. The numbers really don't matter, it's that he feels healthy and can get to a place where the velocity is back consistently.

[WVRedsFan]

Sore bicep according to Bryan. Don't know if that's typical for TJ patients or something to worry about.

[reds44]

Yeah, it's expected he bad bad this year. The key is him getting through the year healthy and building strength so he's ready to go next year.

[Ironman92]

Yeah, well I'm not greatly sure that is happening.

Bailey needs to be sat down. He just doesn't have his fast ball and until that returns there is no use in running him out there every 5th day. The other three relievers should be released on September 1. Bring up three from the minors and see what they can do. They certainly could not do worse.

Also the Reds should be embarrassed by the catching situation. They have minor league fodder now playing that position. No excuse for that. Another lack of really caring by this organization.
