[kyred14]

This is some kind of joke, right? :bang:

[Matt700wlw]

Breaking news:

Luther Vandross is dead.

[SirFelixCat]

???????????????????????

The guy goes 0-1 with 3BB's and they discount that? I'm at a serious loss.

[Tony Cloninger]

What about General Fransisco Franco?


He was a good singer........sang backup on David Bowie's FAME album.

[TeamBoone]

Why am I not surprised?

Dunn did exactly what the #2 should do... and one day later, he's dropped to #7. Somebody's :mooner: should be kicked... hard! :angry:

From where I was sitting, the "experiment" was a huge success. I must be wearing different colored glasses.

[pahster]

That's awful. I had some hope after yesterday's lineup.

[CTA513]

This must be the lineup when the face left handers.

;)

[TeamBoone]

If they don't want him at #2, fine. But #7?

Narron and Miley: I don't like to think that either one is brainless, but when they both keep doing more and more to prove it, well, ya finally gotta believe it's true.

I'm so angry. I wish fans could punch them just once.

I feel like a prisoner, bound by shackles.

Geez, I can't even typed when I'm angry; had to come in and fix a few things.

[Matt700wlw]

...At least he's playing against a lefty...


I'm trying here.

[westofyou]

This must be the lineup when the face left handers.

;)

Yep, until he does better this year would be my guess.

That said this team has bigger fish to fry with RA in the 2 slot.

When's Freel coming back?

[Matt700wlw]

Dunn batting second caused the skies to open up, rain to fall, and the double header tomorrow.

[Puffy]

That said this team has bigger fish to fry with RA in the 2 slot.

When's Freel coming back?

He's eligible to come off the DL on July 4th - please, please, please let that be the day. I've offically had my fill of Aurilia in the two hole.

[CTA513]

...At least he's playing against a lefty...


I'm trying here.

Rotoworld said something last week that if Miley was still here Dunn wouldnt have even been in the game to face a lefty.

:evil:

[RFS62]

It's because of the lefty.

[GAC]

Anyone want to chat?

[pahster]

Dunn vs lhp in 2005 - .177/.283/.468/.751
Randa vs lhp in 2005- .267/.356/.427/.783
Aurillia vs lhp in 2005 - .231/.302/.385/.687

Dunn's still doing a lot better than Rich (not saying much) and OPS wise isn't that far off from Randa, although there is quite a differance in their OBPs. Griffey I believe is around .750 against lhp this year. Dunn, even with an .846 OPS over the last three years against lhp is the one who moves down in the lineup. Craziness.

[flyer85]

Aurilia has 687 OPS against lefties. Dunn's is 750

[LvJ]

This season is retarded. :runawaycr

[Reds Nd2]

He's eligible to come off the DL on July 4th - please, please, please let that be the day. I've offically had my fill of Aurilia in the two hole.

How we lookin'? Catching up with the walking wounded in the Reds' clubhouse...

Ryan Freel, who was placed on the 15-day disabled list Saturday with inflammation in the second toe on his left foot, still isn't ready to run, though he did do some fielding work at Great American Ball Park on Thursday.

It's doubtful Freel will be ready to come off the DL when he's eligible to, Monday in San Francisco.

"I'm just now starting to walk without any sharp pains," he said.

[KronoRed]

Perhaps Dan O let someone else make the lineup out last night and tonight is back to deciding who plays where

;)

[Matt700wlw]

According to FSN...it's 2-1 Reds...

[KronoRed]

Wow..future predicting scores? :D

[GAC]

chat is open. And my throat is dry! ;)

[Reds Nd2]

Griffey looked Peñaesque on that fly ball.

[KronoRed]

Berkman loves us

[Matt700wlw]

Griffey looked Peñaesque on that fly ball.

Even Hall of Famers are human :)

[TeamCasey]

TeamBoone .... I owe you a much better ice coffee. I'll make it with expresso next time.

[flyer85]

not looking good. Plus Hudson may be out there for awhile

[OnBaseMachine]

Adam Everett helps Hudson by swinging at two bad pitches. 2 down for Burke.

[KronoRed]

Nice recovery Luke

[Reds Nd2]

I don't know what Aurilia said to Hudson but he K's the next two batters.

[CTA513]

I wish Hudson could harness his control/command, if he does he could be a good pitcher.

:)

[GAC]

I'll have you all know that I made this lineup out - and I'm not gonna tell ya from where I pulled it! ;)

[Reds Nd2]

Even Hall of Famers are human :)

I don't know what happened. Jr. was racing back to the ball and somehow got turned around. Hope he got it out of his system. :)

[TRF]

Hudson has stated it takes a long time for him to warm up...

He did finish the first pretty strong, so I'll wait untill the middle of the third before i rip him.

[GAC]

OK. two more have come into chat. But the bus still has empty seats available.

[Matt700wlw]

I don't know what Aurilia said to Hudson but he K's the next two batters.

Aurilia for pitching coach!

[Reds Nd2]

I'll have you all know that I made this lineup out - and I'm not gonna tell ya from where I pulled it! ;)

After looking at the line-up, I've got a pretty good idea. :laugh:

[KronoRed]

Numbers and statistics only tell part of the story.

George.

[westofyou]

Numbers and statistics only tell part of the story.

George.

Jerry is trying to maximize the runs the Reds generate.

george is a pud

[KronoRed]

Poor Casey :lol:

[Matt700wlw]

Although Pettitte won that battle...good AB for Junior

[TRF]

That was a heckuva AB by Jr. what was it 12 pitches? Kept Pettite on the mound ane xtra 5-6 minutes and really upped the pitch count for him. He just came off a 120 pitch performance his last time out.

[Reds Nd2]

FSN Houston is going to air both games tomorrow, if anyones interested.

[KronoRed]

Lets go Double Play

[creek14]

As 62 often says - lot of people dressed as empty seats tonight.

[TRF]

Jason LaRue has a howitzer for an arm.

[OnBaseMachine]

Thanks Garner! The Astros might have run themselves out of a potentially big inning.

[Matt700wlw]

Reds get a free out!

Hey. Take 'em how you can get 'em

[GAC]

Taveras was safe. But we'll take it. ;)

[flyer85]

Marty rippin on Machado at the moment. Except he is right about this

[creek14]

Our pitchers rawk.

[KronoRed]

Marty rippin on Machado at the moment. Except he is right about this
What did Machado do in AAA? ;)

[Matt700wlw]

Boy oh boy...

[KronoRed]

6-0 bad guys :help:

[flyer85]

game over

Hudson has zero command

[Matt700wlw]

Man on man. Soon Machado...the key to this team will be here!

:party:

[creek14]

So our cable was out all day (from the storm last night). Finally came back about 10 minutes before game time. I'm now wishing it hadn't.

[Reds Nd2]

Well, knocking Endsberg down didn't work. :laugh:

[flyer85]

This is against the worst offense in the NL. The Reds may not have a pen after Sunday

[TRF]

never mind.. i'm not waiting. Hudson blows.

[westofyou]

Stats don't tell the whole story....

[Patrick Bateman]

Thanks Garner! The Astros might have run themselves out of a potentially big inning.

YOu obviously haven't been watching the Reds much this year. :bang:

[Joseph]

Is anyone else surprised by Ensberg's HR total? When they said he had 21 I was shocked. I mean when you think of feared sluggers in the NL Central, he's probably not in the top 10, or at least he wasn't.

[pedro]

never mind.. i'm not waiting. Hudson blows.

he needs to be working this out on the minors.

[Aronchis]

Hudson's career may be ending very soon. Heard strong vibes that his arm isn't right and he career is about finished.

[Reds Nd2]

Why was Marty ripping on Machado?

[KronoRed]

Can Machado pitch?

[Matt700wlw]

Why was Marty ripping on Machado?

Moreso questioning what he's done to be deserving to be coming up from Louisville.

The answer: Nothing, but he's coming up anyway.

[KronoRed]

Is Machado being called up? :help:

[creek14]

Moreso questioning what he's done to be deserving to be coming up from Louisville.

The answer: Nothing, but he's coming up anyway.
Nothing? Nothing? What about DanO's man-love for him?

[Matt700wlw]

Is Machado being called up? :help:

He HAS to come up by Wednesday (rehab over - out of options) or we lose him.

Dan O'Brien is not going to let that happen since he was aquired in a "big trade" as Lancaster put it...

[KronoRed]

Wednesday huh?

The day we go on a 40-0 run!

;)

[Reds Fanatic]

Dunn reaches on an error by Pettitte. 1st and 3rd with one out.

[creek14]

He HAS to come up by Wednesday (rehab over - out of options) or we lose him.

Dan O'Brien is not going to let that happen since he was aquired in a "big trade" as Lancaster put it...
Lose him? Wouldn't he just have to clear waivers and he could stay in AAA? And I have no idea why he wouldn't clear waivers.

[Matt700wlw]

Lose him? Wouldn't he just have to clear waivers and he could stay in AAA? And I have no idea why he wouldn't clear waivers.

I think that's what I meant. And I couldn't see anyone jumping to get him...

[KronoRed]

He'd clear, easy.

[Reds Fanatic]

Sac fly by Larue. 6-1.

[M2]

I think that's what I meant. And I couldn't see him not clearing either...

Couldn't see him clearing waivers or could see him clearing waivers? Because unless Dan O'Brien's suddenly allowed to claim his own guy, no one's going within a mile of Machado.

[Reds Fanatic]

Encarnacion pinch hitting for Hudson

[KronoRed]

EE up to bat.

Hope he hits a home run and moons the manager

;)

[Reds Nd2]

Moreso questioning what he's done to be deserving to be coming up from Louisville.

Thanks Matt.

[Matt700wlw]

I changed it. I couldn't see anybody picking him up.

I need a vacation.

[KronoRed]

Maybe take a few days off and catch a game Matt ;)

[M2]

Hey DanO, here's an evaluation of Luke Hudson's effect on the club - you're an unqualified twit in an adult's job.

[KronoRed]

EE doubles :clap:

Congrats EE! :)

[Reds Fanatic]

Encarnacion's first ML hit. A double down the line.

[OnBaseMachine]

Congrats Eddie E!

[Reds Fanatic]

Infield hit for Lopez. 6-2.

[Reds Nd2]

Easy E's first hit goes into the stands. I hope someone goes and gets it for the kid.

[KronoRed]

Lopez with an infield single..6-2

[Matt700wlw]

Easy E's first hit goes into the stands. I hope someone goes and gets it for the kid.

The kid did not hesitate to give the ball back

[Big Klu]

Does anyone think that Hudson might be available out of the bullpen between starts?

[Reds Fanatic]

Ricky Stone coming in to pitch. This game could get really ugly.

[Reds Nd2]

The kid did not hesitate to give the ball back

I could see Berry going down that way and motioning but I couldn't tell if they got the ball back. Thanks for the info Matt. You've been on the ball tonight.

[Matt700wlw]

Ricky Stone coming in to pitch. This game could get really ugly.

It's only a stone's throw away...

[KronoRed]

Stone in..he's gonna shut em down.

[CTA513]

How did Pettitte not get charged with those runs? hes the one that made the error, yet he wasnt charged with any earned runs.

[Matt700wlw]

I could see Berry going down that way and motioning but I couldn't tell if they got the ball back. Thanks for the info Matt. You've been on the ball tonight.

I'm in rare form tonight ;)

[KronoRed]

I'm in rare form tonight ;)
Matts rock..that's just the way it is :cool:

[Reds Fanatic]

Ausmus doubles in a run. 7-2.

[Aronchis]

Ricky Stone is the Anti-Christ

[creek14]

Really, our pitchers totally rawk.

[flyer85]

Oh Ricky you're so fine ...

[Big Klu]

Everybody must get Stoned!

http://www2.tokai.or.jp/honeycomb/images/dylan_nashville.jpg

[pedro]

OK, I've had enough.

I'm breaking up the band.

[KronoRed]

I want Machado to get a start on the mound.

I bet he has a wicked knuckleball.

I'm serious.

[westofyou]

George would be a good replacement for Fred Rogers...

[flyer85]

OK, I've had enough.

I'm breaking up the band.that's a good thing

[pedro]

George would be a good replacement for Fred Rogers...

Fred has mad street cred compared to Grande.

In fact, Fred Rogers would bust a cap in old double G if he was still alive.

Try that sweater on for size.

[CTA513]

There has to be someone better in the minors to do mop up duty.

[Reds Nd2]

Someone should do a medical study of the curative benefits Reds pitching provide to ailing hitting teams.

Pure thug.

[Reds Fanatic]

Casey's 2nd hit tonight.

[Reds Fanatic]

Junior singles. Ball gets past Taveras. 2nd and 3rd with no outs.

[westofyou]

The family metaphor is used more by Grande than Steven Speilberg.

Must be a USC thing.

[Reds Fanatic]

Pena grounds out to short. Drives in a run. 7-3. Runner on 3rd with 2 outs.

[Reds Fanatic]

Dunn doubles in a run. 7-4.

[Matt700wlw]

What? Dunn with RISP?

[westofyou]

Reds' Brand Old Style Elixir.

[KronoRed]

I'd feel good about a come back if we..ya know..had any pitchers

[flyer85]

amazing how bad the Reds starters are as a group.

[creek14]

Dunn doubles in a run. 7-4.
That Dunn, he's nothing but HR or K.

[CTA513]

pettitte over 80

I hope they continue to work the count and foul off pitches... that way theres a chance to not see him past the 4th inning.

[Matt700wlw]

amazing how bad the Reds starters are as a group.


What about as individuals?

[CTA513]

That Dunn, he's nothing but HR or K.

I know he sucks, he should have hit a homerun.

;)

:p:

[creek14]

I have noticed there is less Reds facial hair tonight. Even the guys who still have it - it's trimmed.

Not that it matters or anything.

[RosieRed]

What? Dunn with RISP?

Against a lefty, no less.

[flyer85]

I'd feel good about a come back if we..ya know..had any pitchersyou mean Stoner doesn't inspire confidence?

[Reds Fanatic]

Good catch by Pena.

[flyer85]

WMP is scary

[KronoRed]

you mean Stoner doesn't inspire confidence?
He does for batters

[OnBaseMachine]

Dunn has been hitting lefties better lately.

Two homeruns off Mulder and doubles vs Sabathia and Pettitte.

.963 OPS vs lefties in June(.296/.667).

[flyer85]

Dunn has been hitting lefties better lately.

Two homeruns off Mulder and doubles vs Sabathia and Pettitte.

.963 OPS vs lefties in June(.296/.667).he's better against lefties at the moment because he has been struggling handling the ball in. The lefties have a much tougher time getting in there

[Big Klu]

Scoreless inning for Stone...The Times They Are A-Changin'

http://www2.tokai.or.jp/honeycomb/images/dylan_nashville.jpg

[Reds Fanatic]

Lopez lines a single to center.

[flyer85]

I just love the hacker. Spinning on a fastball in his eyes like he was gonna hit it 500 feet

[Big Klu]

Another hit for Lopez! I'm glad to see him coming around from the right side. :thumbup:

[flyer85]

well, Sean is about a month overdue for a HR

[CTA513]

Its time to bump Aurilia back to the 7th or 8th spot.

[OnBaseMachine]

Casey's SLG is falling toward the .400 mark. Just sad.

[KronoRed]

Aurilia 3 for his last 22.

[flyer85]

Its time to bump Aurilia back to the 7th or 8th spot.I prefer the bench spot.

[flyer85]

Stone is on borrowed time

[CTA513]

I prefer the bench spot.

We all know that wont happen... Aurilia has nude pictures of DanO.

;)

[TRF]

stone blows too.

[Reds Fanatic]

Everett homers. 9-4.

[Matt700wlw]

Stone is on borrowed time

Something like that...

[KronoRed]

Adam Everett is on my fantasy team

[Aronchis]

Ricky is the false prophet. DanO is going to hell for his devotion.

[OnBaseMachine]

You know you're bad when you are serving up homeruns to the likes of Adam Everett.

[Big Klu]

Everybody must get Stoned!

http://www2.tokai.or.jp/honeycomb/images/dylan_nashville.jpg

[Reds Fanatic]

Stone's ERA now 6.98

[flyer85]

The Reds are trying to get that Astro offense out if the cellar

[flyer85]

Stone's ERA now 6.98He may get put into the rotation

[pedro]

[QUOTE=Big Klu]Everybody must get Stoned!

Yeah I think it's time for Stone to see that Nashville Skyline.

[CTA513]

If this game by Stone doesnt get him released, then I guess he'll be signing a 5 year extention.

[flyer85]

You know you're bad when you are serving up homeruns to the likes of Adam Everett.a no doubter as well

[flyer85]

If this game by Stone doesnt get him released, then I guess he'll be signing a 5 year extention.he bought some pictures from RA

[CTA513]

You know you're bad when you are serving up homeruns to the likes of Adam Everett.

You know your bad with you have Ricky Stone pitching for your team.

Release Stone, trade Ortiz, and work with Hudson on his control.

[westofyou]

To be kind... he was on based challenged.

[pedro]

To be kind... he was on based challenged.

what were GG and CW saying about him?

[flyer85]

Is Hudson out of options?yes ... but if he can't pitch out of the pen who would claim him

[Big Klu]

Uh, George...."No Red has played in every game this season as yet." If they haven't got into every game so far, they can't get to 163!

[RFS62]

I'm not sure how much more of this I can take.

[CTA513]

yes ... but if he can't pitch out of the pen who would claim him

I could see the Braves picking him up and fixing his control problems, then shutting out the Reds.

[pedro]

yes ... but if he can't pitch out of the pen who would claim him

Probably no one. He needs to be in the minors though. He's just not ready yet. Maybe he'll never be.

[flyer85]

I could see the Braves picking him up and fixing his control problems, then shutting out the Reds.we could claim whoever they kick off their 40 man. It would have to be an improvement

[westofyou]

what were GG and CW saying about him?

That he was "clutch"

[westofyou]

I'm not sure how much more of this I can take.

You've been married twice right?

I believe you know your limits.

[pedro]

That he was "clutch"

And GG knows a little about "clutch".

It's what he does to his groin every time he talks about the other team.

[RFS62]

You've been married twice right?

I believe you know your limits.



Yep, and broke off one engagement.

This season is starting to remind me of that.

[Kc61]

I wouldn't give up on Hudson. Put him in long relief along with Milton and Ortiz. Who needs starters?

I would give up on Stone.

[Big Klu]

Shackelford in to pitch...

[SteelSD]

I wouldn't give up on Hudson. Put him in long relief along with Milton and Ortiz. Who needs starters?

I would give up on Stone.

Yeah, problem is that Hudson takes a looooooooooooong time to warm up.

Although, with our rotation, you normally should have someone warming up in the 1st so that might just work out...

...But then, you might also need the guy warming up in the first to PITCH in the first so, then again, it might not.

[flyer85]

if RA would have been on the bag Ensberg would have been out.

[Big Klu]

Adam Dunn played that ball very well. I have been critical of his defense in the past, but he couldn't play that one any better.

[flyer85]

BTW, Shackleford doesn't have much either

[flyer85]

that was a very wild pitch

[KronoRed]

Who does have much on this staff?

[Big Klu]

if RA would have been on the bag Ensberg would have been out.

Only thing is that clubs often put on a tandem cutoff on a ball to the wall, especially with a runner already on base, so the second baseman trails the shortstop.

[OnBaseMachine]

Houston has scored in every inning but one.

[KronoRed]

I'd rather go back to having ties.

[flyer85]

Houston has scored in every inning but one.it could be worse then

[Matt700wlw]

Romano with a productive at bat.

[Big Klu]

Romano K's pinch-hitting for Shaq.

[RFS62]

Houston has scored in every inning but one.


So, we've got that going for us, which is nice.

[Big Klu]

Pettitte works very quickly from the windup.

Mr. Coffey on to pitch

[flyer85]

Coffey has a very good sinker tonight

[RFS62]

That's some nasty coffee so far

[pedro]

That's some nasty coffee so far

it's suck flavored.

[flyer85]

Mr. Coffey should have left the changeup in his pocket

[Big Klu]

Casey called out on strikes.

[KronoRed]

Some cake would really make this game go better.

[creek14]

I'm going to be gone for two weeks. Very little Reds coverage. I'm almost glad.

Dunn will hit sac flys every game.

[pedro]

Mr. Coffey should have left the changeup in his pocket

he should have filtered it.

Isolated Power
(Slugging Percentage - Batting Average)

Sean Casey-.094 IsoP
Juan Castro-.132 IsoP

[KronoRed]

Lets get Castro back

[Buckeye33]

I haven't read this game thread, but I blame most of this game on Narron. If Stone gets pinch hit for early, the Reds have a chance to come back in this game down 6-4.

Stone is easily the worst ML pitcher ever.

[pedro]

Stone is easily the worst ML pitcher ever.

I don't know about that. Although I amstruggling to come up with someone worse off the top of my head.

[creek14]

I blame most of this game on Narron.
I blame Bob Boone.

[37red]

good bye Creek, have fun. and most of all don't even look back for the reds, just try to relax

[KronoRed]

I blame Apple.

[OnBaseMachine]

Lets get Castro back

Bite your tongue. ;)

I don't want Castro back. In fact, I threw a party when the Twins signed him. ;) I was just pointing out how bad Casey's power numbers are.

[Big Klu]

I blame Bob Boone.

And the black sleeves (even though they don't wear them at home).

[RosieRed]

This game thread is kinda funny. :ughmamoru

Thanks. I am going to try to catch some GCL Reds. Of couse I might see better baseball there...

[KronoRed]

It would still be better with some cake.

[Big Klu]

Nice cup of Coffey!

[RFS62]

Please take me with you.

Tell Jay Bruce that RZ loves him :D

[creek14]

Please take me with you.
I'll pick you up on 75 somewhere in TN.

[CTA513]

Coffeys ERA is dropping quickly.
He had a 2.08 ERA in the month of June, and his season ERA is down to 4.38

:)

[RFS62]

I'm so there.

[RosieRed]

Please take me with you.

Can I go too?

[RFS62]

So here's my horoscope for today. Since everybody knows I plan my days around this stuff.

Every now and then, the universe sends along a pleasant surprise -- for no particular reason, it seems. Happily, you're due for your turn now. Someone you haven't seen for what feels like a very, very long time is due to return to your life -- and not just for a cameo appearance, either. Whether or not they admit it right up front, they want to be back for good. Be generous. Pretend you didn't know they were en route, and allow them to do their dance discreetly.


I'm thinking it's a bill collector.

[KronoRed]

Can I go too?
Same here, I won't make a lot of noise or anything :D

[creek14]

Can I go too?
Sure, we can go to DD and look at the table where Adam and Austin and Danny were sitting.

[RFS62]

Hey, hey, hey!!!!

None of that!!

You two will have me to look at.

[Big Klu]

BOOOOOOOOO DANNY GRAVES!!!!!!!!

[RosieRed]

Sure, we can go to DD and look at the table where Adam and Austin and Danny were sitting.

Back when they were skinny! Sounds good to me. :beerme:

[Chip R]

Same here, I won't make a lot of noise or anything :DExcept for your constant whining for apple juice. :p:

[creek14]

Hey, hey, hey!!!!

None of that!!

You two will have me to look at.
Oh yeah. :evil:

We're also going to go over and watch the shuttle launch, if it stays green for 13 Jul.

[OnBaseMachine]

Dunn singles vs the lefty Franco.

I thought this Dunn guy only homered and struckout?

[creek14]

Except for your constant whining for apple juice. :p:
And that taco crunching.

[Big Klu]

Dunn singles vs the lefty Franco.

I thought this Dunn guy only homered and struckout?

He has two hits tonight, and neither are HRs.

[RosieRed]

Dunn singles vs the lefty Franco.

I thought this Dunn guy only homered and struckout?

It was a "soft" single, so it doesn't really count. :p:

[pedro]

It's "hammer" time.

[Big Klu]

Three hits from the right side tonight for Lopez!

[Chip R]

He has two hits tonight, and neither are HRs.Can't be Adam. Must be his good twin and Creek has the real Adam in her palatial Beavercreek estate.

I dig John Franco. Always have, always will.

[Matt700wlw]

Franco and Lopez touched the bag at the exact same time.

A tie goes to the offense!

[flyer85]

good thing RA is up

[RFS62]

Thank god we've got Aurilia up there with the bases juiced and not Dunn.

[RosieRed]

Did Marty just say that Aurilia appears to be tired? :confused:
