Just wanted to drop folks a note. Might be same stuff from yesterday, but who knows.

[redsfan30]

Thanks for the heads up!

[traderumor]

No specific time given for Krivsky, but show is on now from 3-6

[MartyFan]

Thanks for the info

[MartyFan]

Hey I am not going to be able to listen...is there a chance someone could report on this like the Hot Stove or game thread?

[Red Leader]

Stay Hot, Cincinnati. You sons of a gun. You mustached, baseball-headed people.

[Doc. Scott]

There's also a podcast available through iTunes if you search for it. That's how I listen (and seventy-five percent of the time it hits the Recycle Bin after I see the synopsis).

[Phil in BG]

He'll be on at 5:30 p.m.

[traderumor]

Krivsky due on at 5:30.

Also, the program is archived if you want to listen later, plus they usually have the individual discussions pulled out and linked up if you couldn't listen live.

[reds44]

Thanks!

[Joseph]

Thanks for the information.

[reds44]

Oooops nevermind.

[David Cubbedge]

Pretty much went like this

-many thank yous ensued

-The importance of pitching and defense is expressed by Krivsky.

-biggest need as far as pitching goes is a closer.
could have closer by commitee. Ideally they want a guy for the ninth inning though and he hopes someone comes through big in spring training. Still have time to make a deal for a SP possibly.

-Krivsky is very excited to be with the Reds.

[David Cubbedge]

retard afterwards is speaking of the Reds as if they do not score runs. They "lean on the big boppers." "They sit back and hit home runs." Idiot, doesn't think the Reds score any runs!

He obviously meant to dial the banana phone and mistakenly called the wrong number.

[wheels]

Wow.

Krivsky gave a decent interview, but that commentary by the Canadian guy was awful.

The gist of it was that the Reds don't manufacture runs and don't score as many runs as the BRM.

Then he went on to suggest that the Reds trade offensive players (that don't score enough runs) for two or three great young players.

He called himself a numbers cruncher at one point.

Good thing they brought in Womack to up the scrappy factor.

So since the Reds don't match up one of the best offenses in the history of the game they don't have one?

Ok.....

Yeah, he said the main reason they don't score more runs is that they don't sacrifice themselves for the team, move runners, make contact. The 05 Reds team also struck out twice as much as the BRM.

I swear it was BF.

I can kind of see the point that the guy is trying to make. The REDS have some big boppers but last year there was some poor situational hitting. There were also a number of games last yaer where the REDS had huge innings when the game was already won bu couldn't get the offense going in a close game. The REDS do have a lot of all or nothing kind of batters. Home Runs are great for the fans and resume but sometimes just sacrificing and moving a guy over, taking a walk can do so much more the for the team winning. I can remember at least three games last year where the REDS had base loaded situations, no outs and didn't get any runs. Most of them are guilty of it.

vaticanplum: I think you might have misspelled "crappy" in your last post?!?:bang:

Getting nothing out of bases loaded scenarios happens to every team.

The Reds scored 820 runs last year. The most in the National League.

[Puffy]

With the Reds pitching the last couple of years no games were ever "won" before they were over. In other words, the Reds pitchers cause every run to be meaningful.

[NewEraReds]

i kinda agree with the guys. its not how many you score over the course of an entire season, but when you score them. if you score 10 when you only need 4 to win, but score 3 when you need 6 to win. then you total runs scored doesnt mean much

[BrooklynRedz]

Anyone catch the name of the genius on after Krivsky?

2005 Cincinnati Reds Bases Loaded:

.303 BA, .366 OBP, .539 SLG- .906 OPS

151 Runs Scored

The Reds were 2nd in the NL in OPS with the Bases Loaded and only the Phillies scored more Runs with the Bases Loaded than did the Reds- primarily because the Phillies ended up with 50 more Bases Loaded Plate Appearances than did the Reds.

Believe it or not, the Cincinnati Reds were the best situational hitting team in the National League overall in 2005. There was absolutely NOTHING wrong with that offense.

Not one single thing.

This garbage we keep being fed by the media shows me nothing more than an overall dearth of pitching knowledge.

They can't seem to figure out what actually makes a pitcher good, so they gloss over it by talking about "Manufacturing Runs" and how if they just would have scored that one run on Aug. 19, the Reds would somehow solve their pitching problems.

Gimme a dadgum break...It's all nonsense.

They hit well, fielded like crap, that is what the media should be spouting. That is the square hole in the round peg treatment. Either the Reds buy a staff that can strike people out or break this team up for a better defending team while your rebuild.

[Hondo]

The Reds need 3 starting pitchers...thats it....

Anybody throw left handed in here???
