I know I said I would not start Straily game threads but here it is anyway. Reverse jinx.

Their jerseys should say Deargs.

[Norm Chortleton]

Sunday game with no tv?

[BCubb2003]

Pirates announcers are being snarky.

[Tom Servo]

Dan Straily gets his first career hit!

[BCubb2003]

Peraza having a bad day in centerfield.

Pirates anniuncers are goofy, but almost as sabermetric as Chris Welsh.

Peraza having a bad day in centerfield.

The Reds (Jocketty's? Price's?) belief that you can just stick anybody in CF is something I would really like to see go. Peraza isn't an outfielder, let alone able to handle the challenges of the toughest OF position, and Schebler isn't a CFer either. And neither was Brennan Boesch.

Watching the Pittsburgh broadcast is about as exciting as watching paint dry. Bob Walk and the other guy who's name escapes me is so low key that one could fall asleep. The call on Votto near homer was simply boring.

Probably Joe Block. This is his first season with the Pirates. I'm not a huge fan of his, but he is getting a little better.

[ScotlandRed]

Joey Votto is good.

[Tom Servo]

Votto! :jump:

Three hit day for Scott Schebler btw, including a double.

Votto HR. Servo, bouncy things. Klu HR chart please.

Thanks When somebody Homers and I don't see those bouncy things, I think it doesn't count.

Wish our outfield was major league quality today...

[Big Klu]

On pace for 68-94.

[WVRedsFan]

That's my prediction for the final record. 68-94. Finishing up with a 5-8 record. The final two weeks is brutal. Lots of Cubs and Cards games.

[Ironman92]

Happy Straily finally got his hit and happy he is on our team

[cumberlandreds]

Reds avoid a 100 loss season with this win. The city of Cincinnati should throw them a parade for avoiding that with this team. Also should thank about six other NL teams for being, just as bad, if nor worse than them.

Straily is now 13-8. Not bad for a guy taken off the junk heap.

was there in left center (first time in a couple of years i made it in from WV to see a game)....Peraza underran that triple that glanced off his glove, he had plenty of time to get under it, but to me it looked like he slowed down for the over the shoulder try.....the HR ball was a damn good try, i think the way his arm hit the wall turned his glove slightly, it rattled out of his glove, but he had it timed perfectly. Overall though, I wish Billy would have been out there, would have saved a few runs. They won though, and that's what matters.
