Ramirez grounds out to 3rd. 2 outs.

[Mutaman]

I'm not saying you are wrong--I tend to agree with you. I'm just presenting alternatives.

It's a good alternative. When Eric hit it, I suddenly had total confidence we could beat LaRussa.

[Matt700wlw]

Milton gets a ground ball :eek:

[Reds Fanatic]

Millar lines a double to the left field corner.

[Mutaman]

How about Griffey?

And the fact that you are a Reds fan?

And the fact that we are as good as scoring team as there is in the National League.

And the fact you are a Reds fan.

And that fact that we probably have the (potentially) top power hitter in baseball, be it Dunn or Pena.

And the fact you are a Reds fan.

And the fact that some players can (and will) improve.

I believe that many posters here have panned Harang, Lopez, Pena, Claussen a large amount of time. Now they are our salvation. Funny.

Those of us who were born Red's fans (and you know who you are) don't have any choice. Heck, some of us still defend Pete.

[KronoRed]

any chance the Sox don't score this inning?

Yes..woohoo! ;)

[OnBaseMachine]

Milton has allowed 5 XBH this game. No homeruns...yet.

[Reds Fanatic]

Varitek grounds out to 3rd. 5-2 Sox after 5.

shocking ... a double but no runs. He can thank Sean for that.

[Matt700wlw]

Good inning.

[PuffyPig]

Milton gets a ground ball :eek:

Actually, he's had almost as many GB's as FB's tonight. Including ground ball hits, he's had 10 GB's.

[Kc61]

Wasn't Milton supposed to have good velocity? He doesn't ever put anyone away with a fastball. I would doubt he throws more than high 80s, possibly 90. Does anyone know?

Unbelievable.

[Eric_Davis]

Not even close. Eric's hit was big, really big, and I remember it and him with great affection. And I loved the 90 team. But we're talking game 7 not game 1. The Reds are down 3-0 in the 6th inning, we haven't won a world championship in over 35 years, we lost in ''61, '70, and '72. We were one lousy pitch away from winning the night before and we blew it, and Lee was absolutely cruising. It really looked like the handwritting was on the wall, we were going to lose again to a team that just wasn't in our class. And then Tony changed all that with one swing. Not even close, and I bet you won't find anyone who witnessed both hits who would disagree with me.

I witnessed both hits. I disagree. Though your point makes more sense.

[Reds Fanatic]

Bellhorn flies out to center. For a second I thought Wily Mo was going to run into him again.

Wily Mo needs to learn that the CF is in charge out there.

Slow-pitch softball pitcher, that's what we have hired.

He starts, and you can figure seven runs for the other team. I don't think I have ever seen anything quite like it.

Weird how they bring in Belisle and you cannot help but marvel at what some decent stuff looks like.

[Eric_Davis]

Hadn't walked anyone all day, then walks two of four batters. Think Miley waited too long to pull Milton.

I'd pull my kid from the team if Miley was his or her little league manager.

[Kc61]

I guess Gullett and Hume will have to watch some more tape on Milton's mechanics.

Ramirez hits a 3 run homer as Pena slams against the wall. 10-2.

Releasing a pitcher who's had (at least) average major league success in the first year of a 3 year $25M contract would undoubtedly be the most stupid thing DanO has ever done. Yes, even more stupid than signing him.

Why did Miley leave Milton in so long?
A. Secret Red Sox fan
B. Didn't seem right taking him out before giving up his customary seven runs
C. Pitcher's spot due up next. Wait a minute, why isn't the pitcher hitting? They do WHAT in this league?
D. Curious to see what it'll take to get Milton released
E. Got another job already, trying to get fired.

Looked like the ball was in Pena's glove for a second and when he hit the wall the ball knocked over the wall.

When the Reds finally released Jimmy Haynes, Miley made the snide remark about not being able to give away a game every fifth day, or something to that effect. Funny how he found $25 M reasons that someone who has pitched just as bad as Haynes keeps getting handed the ball, leaving the team little chance to win every fifth day. A manager who manages by the payroll has no business managing in the major leagues.

As asinine as the Reds braintrust is, I have to believe this one might just get the ball rolling toward doing something different. I don't know what can really be done but Gullet watching video sure isn't fixing anything.

Milton leads the league in Runs, Earned Runs, Hr's, Hits and Total Bases. He has nearly an 8.00 ERA after tonights 5 2/3 9ER performance. It just has to stop, even Dan O and Miley can't let this continue. He needs to be skipped at the very least.

The flag was already raised when Milton came onto the mound sadly enough.

Ok, I left the room for three minutes... why is Cruz playing first?Because the Reds are getting ready to announce they just traded Casey to the Sox. Theo was so impressed with the snag at first on Ortiz' grounder that he gave in to all DanOs demands--an autographed ball from the 2004 World Champs, a signed picture of Carlton Fisk waving the ball fair, and a player to be named later.

[Reds Fanatic]

Ok, I left the room for three minutes... why is Cruz playing first? As far as I know there is nothing wrong with Casey it is just the game is over so they are giving Cruz a chance to play a few innings.

I wonder why it's praise-worthy that Manny has learned to be patient and dropped his BA 30 points, but it's not praise-worthy for Dunn to be patient at the plate and thus have a lower batting average.... huh?

[TeamBoone]

Oh, and no one had the answer... we still don't.

[oneupper]

Well, in Miley's little world (and head)...

Keisler pitched yesterday. Can't dream of having him pitch twice without someone else getting a chance.

Mercker is a "set up" man...so he can't be used before the 7th (at earliest).

That leaves Milton as the only lefty to pitch to Ortiz...unless he brings in a righty...which he can't do because if he brings in a righty and Ortiz gets a hit...everyone will think he is stupid and doesn't play the matchups right...

So, basically in the world of CYA...Miley had no choice.

The obvious answer to both questions is that Milton was cruising and then the wheels came off. He's a battler, so we were hoping he could "moxy" his way through it. We have no idea what the solution is.

06/13/2005 Reds roughed up in return to Fenway
Milton gives up nine runs in 5 2/3 innings
By Anthony Castrovince / MLB.com

BOSTON -- We'll start with the good news, because Eric Milton is probably in need of something positive right about now.
Milton didn't allow any home runs on Monday night. That's the good news.

The bad news for Milton and the Reds is that the left-hander gave up plenty of other hits in the Reds' 10-3 loss to the Red Sox at Fenway Park.

Milton (3-8, 7.97 ERA) was beat up for nine runs on 11 hits over the course of 5 2/3 innings, giving his team little chance of coming up with a victory against right-hander Matt Clement (7-1, 3.78). The Red Sox went up, 2-0, early on Edgar Renteria's two-run double in the third, and a three-run fourth inning gave them a 5-0 edge.

By the time the Reds put two across with Felipe Lopez's RBI triple and ensuing run scored on Rich Aurilia's sacrifice fly, the Red Sox were in a groove against Milton.

That groove led to a sixth inning in which Milton gave up a two-run single to David Ortiz and left two runners on for reliever Matt Belisle. Manny Ramirez then stepped up and hit a three-run homer to right that bounced out of Wily Mo Pena's glove and into the stands, sealing the Reds' fate in their first game at Fenway since the '75 World Series.
