7-13 Revamped Reds vs Rockies

[OnBaseMachine]

Anytime the Larue/Castro/Milton trio can give you a run, thank God.:laugh:

Yeah, I didn't really expect much out of the bottom three, so that was a bit surprising.

[Tornon]

Torrealba pops to Phillips, 1 out

[Tornon]

Freeman pops to Denorfia, 2 out

[reds44]

Deno catches that


oh wait

[Tornon]

Francis Ks on 3 pitches, 4-1 Reds middle of 5

85 pitches for Milton

[captainmorgan07]

francis down on strikes again

[Tornon]

The 6 days of rest appears to be helping Milton

[oregonred]

Larue, Castro and Milton lead off with HBP + 2B + 1B (like winning the lottery). and all you can get is a single run :bang: :bang: :bang:

[Puffy]

Smart:mooner: . :laugh: ;)

That made me laugh out loud.

Thank you, thank - I'm here all weekend! Try the veal - and I take rep points!

[Falls City Beer]

The 6 days of rest appears to be helping Milton

Rockies offense never hurts.

[Tornon]

Griffey Ks swinging, 1 out

[Matt700wlw]

Rockies offense never hurts.

It would pain you to credit Milton for his effort so far. :)

[captainmorgan07]

griffey always did like the high cheese

[captainmorgan07]

larkin is prolly one answer to the scoreboard stumper

[Tornon]

Aurilia lines a single to left, almost a great diving catch

[captainmorgan07]

dunn triple and homer away from the cycle

[Tornon]

Dunn Ks swinging, 2 out

[Tornon]

dunn triple and homer away from the cycle

Same thing could be said for Aurilia

[oregonred]

Milton's been amazingly solid in innings 1-5 this season.

It's starting with the 6th inning that you have to keep on ready standby the fire extenguishers to put out the flames.

Whipping boy 2-3 :)

[KronoRed]

dunn triple and homer away from the cycle
You had to mention it ;)

[captainmorgan07]

You had to mention it ;)
i know i probably jinxed him

[RedsMan3203]

The game is online at the WKKI site.

[Tornon]

Encarnacion walks

[dsmith421]

Joe Mays is warming up, my assumption is that he just wants to enjoy the feeling of throwing a ball in a major league unifom one last time.

[reds44]

Nice Eddy.

[RedLegSuperStar]

Joe Mays is warming up, my assumption is that he just wants to enjoy the feeling of throwing a ball in a major league unifom one last time.

LoL.. I think he is staying.. but only in the pen. He was effective as a reliever

[Tornon]

LaRue bounces one off Francis' glove but he gets to it & makes the play anyway. 4-1 Reds after 5

104 pitches for Francis

[reds44]

LaRue is slow.

[captainmorgan07]

LaRue is slow.
he'll use the catcher excuse

[captainmorgan07]

top of the order up

[captainmorgan07]

milton might be losing it those 2 weren't close

[Tornon]

Carroll pops to Phillips in foul territory, 1 out

[Tornon]

Barmes doubles to left

[captainmorgan07]

come on milton finish it off this inning

[Falls City Beer]

Bullpen, Jerr.

[Tornon]

Helton goes yard, 4-3 Reds

[flyer85]

third time thru gives Milton trouble when he gets that far

[captainmorgan07]

get him out

[Matt700wlw]

And he's cracked....

[membengal]

Bullpen, Jerr.

You see it. I see it. Fetuses five months from leaving the womb see it. Why can't Narron see it?

[Tornon]

Holliday flies to Griffey, 2 out

[Falls City Beer]

Why do I always have to be right about Milton? I hate being Cassandra!!!!! :(

[OnBaseMachine]

Milton is horrible.

Please just DFA him.

[flyer85]

Unfortunately today WK used his chips but didn't address the biggest problem this team has(the 4/5 spots in the rotation).

[KronoRed]

He comes apart so fast..always have the pen ready

[captainmorgan07]

holliday flies out to junior 2 outs

[Matt700wlw]

Please just DFA him.

Doubtful.

$$$$$$$$$$$

[NJReds]

Weathers warming up.

[dsmith421]

Hey, kids: ever wondered what $25 million worth of manure looks like?

[Tornon]

Atkins lines one that Encarnacion makes a diving grab of, 4-3 Reds middle of 6

105 pitches for Milton

[Matt700wlw]

Edwin!

[captainmorgan07]

heck of a play by ede last inning for milton hopefully

[reds44]

That is a double if Rich is playing 3rd.

Just sayin.

[OnBaseMachine]

They should move him to 1B or OF. He obviously can't play third.

[NJReds]

Nice catch by EE.

Quality start for Milton. :evil:

[Tommyjohn25]

Weathers warming up.

Can we just fast forward to tomorrow when we have guys who can actually get someone out? :help:

[captainmorgan07]

Can we just fast forward to tomorrow when we have guys who can actually get someone out? :help:
who had the remote last?

[Kc61]

EE is now very important. Team doesn't have a lot of right handed power with Kearns gone. Real nice play there.

[KronoRed]

Hey wait! EE ALWAYS makes errors..what was that? ;)

[reds44]

They should move him to 1B or OF. He obviously can't play third.
Yep he sucks.

[Kc61]

Yep he sucks.

Nice play. Excellent play. But no throw involved.

[reds44]

looks like rain at GABP.

[membengal]

Kc...EE was always very important, whether or not Kearns was here.

[captainmorgan07]

castron pinch hitter hopefully then deno

[Tornon]

Castro grounds to second, 1 out

Freel pinch hitting

[reds44]

Nice play. Excellent play. But no throw involved.
He slings one in the stands every few games, oh well he'll improve. Like you said with Felipe and Kearns gone, we need Eddy's bat EVERYDAY.

[Tony Cloninger]

Forget about having someone up for him by the 5th or 6th inning (which is as far as he ever goes anyways)......just DFA him.

Waste of time to only get barely 5-6 innings out of him anyways.

[oregonred]

Why do I always have to be right about Milton? I hate being Cassandra!!!!! :(

:confused:

Another QS for Uncle Milty (9 out of 14)* and he again outpitching a pretty darned decent pitcher on the other side of the dugout (*assuming common sense prevails and he is pulled now).

Oh and he contributed on offense with an RBI.

Is he living up to his salary. Heck no. Is he keeping his team in the game virtually every start as viable #4 guy in a poor starting pitching world -- yes.

[flyer85]

will Jerry leave him in?

[Tornon]

Freel grounds to short, 2 out

[Matt700wlw]

Milton with a QS for what it's worth...

[reds44]

Kc...EE was always very important, whether or not Kearns was here.
:thumbup:

[reds44]

Barmes got rid of that in a hurry. Smart.

[RedLegSuperStar]

Can we just fast forward to tomorrow when we have guys who can actually get someone out? :help:

Ha Ha Ha! Classic but true! No to Stormy!

[Jpup]

LA 2
St. Louis 0

Top 3

[Kc61]

He slings one in the stands every few games, oh well he'll improve. Like you said with Felipe and Kearns gone, we need Eddy's bat EVERYDAY.

Given the Kearns trade, I think it is essential that EE's bat is in the lineup virtually every day.

[Tornon]

Denorfia grounds to short, 4-3 Reds after 6

116 pitches for Francis

[captainmorgan07]

david stormy weathers in

[Tornon]

Weathers pitching

[RedLegSuperStar]

david stormy weathers in

Outfield back!

[Matt700wlw]

Hey! The final edition of the non-revamped bullpen!


That's a good thing....................................for tomorrow.

[Jpup]

Outfield back!

they have to play inside the fence.

[KronoRed]

Outfield back!
Wayyy back

[reds44]

Hold your breat everyone.

1 run lead, pen in.

[Tornon]

Hawpe singles into right

[Matt700wlw]

Can Weathers ever get the first batter out?

[reds44]

Weathers in, runner on.

[captainmorgan07]

oh boy here we go

[KronoRed]

Just 3 outs..it's not much to ask

[Tornon]

Torrealba pops a bunt up to Aurilia, 1 out

[membengal]

Is it in Weathers' contract that the lead off man must always reach base?

[reds44]

Yes they give us an out!

[Jpup]

Is it in Weathers' contract that the lead off man must always reach base?

no, he just sucks.

[Tornon]

Freeman flies to Griffey, 2 out

[toledodan]

Can Weathers ever get a batter out?

FIXED!:D

[Tornon]

Jorge Piedra pinch hitting

[oregonred]

Weathers 7th (scary, be very afraid)
Coffey 8th
EvE 9th

I'd like another run (or 4) just to make it less frightening

[Falls City Beer]

I think that Weathers should just bowl the ball up to the catcher when facing the leadoff hitter--suppress his slugging-against.

[Tornon]

Piedra grounds to Phillips, 4-3 Reds middle of 7

[Caveat Emperor]

I think that Weathers should just bowl the ball up to the catcher when facing the leadoff hitter--suppress his slugging-against.

Maybe if he did the Jennie Finch softball-windup, he might confuse people.

[captainmorgan07]

weathers with a decent inning

[reds44]

Phew.

Nice job Stromy!

[RedLegSuperStar]

Just 3 outs..it's not much to ask

actually.. with this bullpen all we ask is one out at a time

[KronoRed]

Coffey next inning

Please

[RedLegSuperStar]

weathers with a decent inning

Could his trade value be any higher?

[Jpup]

Piedra grounds to Phillips, 4-3 Reds middle of 7

you guys now that this means Tackleberry will be back on Friday, right?

[Matt700wlw]

:weathers:

[Reds Fanatic]

Could that be the last inning we have to see Weathers ever. Please.

[Matt700wlw]

Could his trade value be any higher?

He has trade value?

[Jpup]

Coffey next inning

Please

Belisle would be my guy.

[KronoRed]

you guys now that this means Tackleberry will be back on Friday, right?
I doubt he was going anywhere regardless.

[Tornon]

Scott Dohmann in to pitch

[flyer85]

I fear Jerry will send Weathers back out.

[RedLegSuperStar]

He has trade value?

maybe now he does.. who knows.. Ryan Wagner did

[Jpup]

He has trade value?

If he was DFA'd, he would have a job in less than 12 hours.

[reds44]

maybe now he does.. who knows.. Ryan Wagner did
Only because Jim Bowden is a GM.

[Tornon]

Phillips flies the first pitch to right, 1 out

[Matt700wlw]

maybe now he does.. who knows.. Ryan Wagner did

True...Wagner's young though - and he has the stuff.


Now using it wasn't working very well..

[captainmorgan07]

Only because Jim Bowden is a GM.
jimbo salivates that he got some former reds he forgets they play in a pitchers park homer numbers will drop dramatically for kearns

[RedLegSuperStar]

Only because Jim Bowden is a GM.

Shh.. your ruining my moment

[KronoRed]

I don't think Wagner had much value, just a throw in..like that IF we have coming back our way

[Matt700wlw]

If he was DFA'd, he would have a job in less than 12 hours.

Probably so.

Rick White found employment. :evil:

[Falls City Beer]

I fear Jerry will send Weathers back out.

A part of me hopes that he does. Coffey has been the emblem of struggling.

[captainmorgan07]

i wonder if jimbo mentioned the name griffey to krivsky

[reds44]

I don't think Wagner had much value, just a throw in..like that IF we have coming back our way
If your talking about Harris, I would much rather have him the Wagner.

[flyer85]

is Jr and his now sub .300 OBP starting to worry anyone, especially for a #3 hitter?

[reds44]

A part of me hopes that he does. Coffey has been the emblem of struggling.
Actually I agree.

[captainmorgan07]

If your talking about Harris, I would much rather have him the Wagner.
me 2

[KronoRed]

i wonder if jimbo mentioned the name griffey to krivsky
If he did he probably heard JR's "NO FREAKING WAY" all the way in Washington :devil:

[Matt700wlw]

Mercker warming up

[captainmorgan07]

mercker warming

[flyer85]

A part of me hopes that he does. Coffey has been the emblem of struggling.could go to Mercker who has pitched much better with his velocity back up.

[captainmorgan07]

3-2 on junior

[Tornon]

Griffey.. GONE!! 5-3 Reds

[KronoRed]

If your talking about Harris, I would much rather have him the Wagner.
They are quite similar.

[Matt700wlw]

:griffey:

:jump:

[Reds Fanatic]

Junior homers. 5-3 Reds!!

[reds44]

Junior!!!!!!

needed that.

[Falls City Beer]

If he did he probably heard JR's "NO FREAKING WAY" all the way in Washington :devil:

Bowden's dumb, but he wants no part of his own white elephant gift to Cincy.

[KronoRed]

*cough*cleanup hitter JR please*cough*

[captainmorgan07]

junior worked the count fouled off a bunch and lookie here a homerun

[RedLegSuperStar]

At A Kid!

[OnBaseMachine]

#555.

[BoydsOfSummer]

Vintage Nuxie on that homer call. I'm all misty and stuff.

[Caveat Emperor]

Great call by Joe there -- I missed Joe. He's fantastic in smaller doses, I think.

[captainmorgan07]

anybody a tad bit excited to see everyday eddy in the 9th

[Tornon]

Aurilia skies one to left, 2 out

[Falls City Beer]

is Jr and his now sub .300 OBP starting to worry anyone, especially for a #3 hitter?

He's doing his best Pena impression.

[flyer85]

Great call by Joe there -- I missed Joe. He's fantastic in smaller doses, I think.I like that Torra-Bella guy catching for the Rocks

[Jpup]

anybody a tad bit excited to see everyday eddy in the 9th

i'd rather see Mariano Rivera. ;)

[reds44]

anybody a tad bit excited to see everyday eddy in the 9th
We got to get 3 more outs 1st.

[Gallen5862]

JR HR. :) :thumbup: :beerme: :party: :clap: :jump: :rockband:

[captainmorgan07]

We got to get 3 more outs 1st.
i know

[flyer85]

He's doing his best Pena impression.but seems to be immune from being moved down in the order.

[RedLegSuperStar]

anybody a tad bit excited to see everyday eddy in the 9th

Right here.. I am

[BoydsOfSummer]

"STAY FAIR BASEBALL!!"---Nuxie

[RedLegSuperStar]

2-0 LA on Top of STL (Bottom of 4th)

[Tornon]

Dunn walks

[KronoRed]

but seems to be immune from being moved down in the order.
He and Rich.

[KronoRed]

Dunn walks
Would have liked to have had Dunn walk in front of JR
:evil:

[captainmorgan07]

dunn with walk up goes the on base percentage

[Gallen5862]

Trade them Weathers for the Catcher now. They can exchange lockers after the game lol.

[captainmorgan07]

Trade them Weathers for the Catcher now. they can exchange lockers after the game lol.
like we need another catcher

[reds44]

Bergolla to 2B
BP to SS
Castro to 3B

???

[Tornon]

Encarnacion lines a single up the middle

[RedLegSuperStar]

Huff just homered for the Stros.. 5-1 over FLA 8th

[Reds Fanatic]

Good AB from EE. A 10 pitch AB and he singles.

[Gallen5862]

Hey it would get rid of Weathers and Narron would be excited for another Catcher lol.

[flyer85]

what an AB by EE

[reds44]

The more you watch him hit, the more he impresses you. Great AB and he singles.

[Tornon]

Colorado going to the bullpen

[captainmorgan07]

heck of an at bat for ede

[Caveat Emperor]

The more you watch him hit, the more he impresses you. Great AB and he singles.

I still think your man-crush is frightneing. ;)

[reds44]

King in, watch out Austin!!

Oh wait.

[Falls City Beer]

Excellent AB by EE.

[Tornon]

Burger King in to pitch

[Matt700wlw]

Sorry Ray King...Kearns is gone. You can't sit on him anymore

[captainmorgan07]

he looks like he needs a few whoopers at the moment

[KronoRed]

I still think your man-crush is frightneing. ;)
:luvu:

[flyer85]

the bane of Kearns comes in

[Tornon]

LaRue singles to left, 6-3 Reds

[Reds Fanatic]

Larue singles in a run. 6-3 Reds!!!

[reds44]

Yes Jason!!!!!

6-3!!

[CTA513]

he looks like he needs a few whoopers at the moment


His MLB profile says he weighs 240 lbs.

:laugh:

[captainmorgan07]

larue with a single dunn scores ede to 3rd

[KronoRed]

LaRue..heating up

[reds44]

I still think your man-crush is frightneing. ;)
:p:

[Matt700wlw]

Trade LaRue now

:)

[OnBaseMachine]

Nice night for Jason...showing signs of coming out of that slump.

[captainmorgan07]

LaRue..heating up
he's like an old musty heating pad it may take him awhile but he gets hot

[Jpup]

LaRue..heating up

trade him.:p:

[Caveat Emperor]

LaRue..heating up

If he gets much hotter, we might be able to swing a deal with Tampa Bay for Shawn Camp.

[DoogMinAmo]

For July Larue now batting .273 with a .766 OPS. He WILL catch fire. But do you trade him?

[Tornon]

Castro.. GONE!! 9-3 Reds

[vaticanplum]

Ah sweet!!

[Reds Fanatic]

Castro homers!!!!! 9-3 Reds!!!

[Matt700wlw]

:jump:


Welcome to our world, Rockies.

[reds44]

Juan!!!!!!!!

FELIPE WHO???

9-3!!!

[captainmorgan07]

holy crap 3 run homer for castro he's heating up also

[KronoRed]

Juan Power

[Kc61]

Reds need to hire the hitting coach who taught Castro in Minnesota.

[RFS62]

DFA the bum!!!!!

[Tornon]

Valentin pinch hitting

[captainmorgan07]

royce who?

[edabbs44]

For July Larue now batting .273 with a .766 OPS. He WILL catch fire. But do you trade him?
It's pathetic when we talk about numbers like that like they are HOF type.

Castro for Prez.

[NJReds]

Rockies BP stinks.

Maybe we can trade them Weathers for Holliday.

[Tornon]

Valentin lines the first pitch for a single

[Matt700wlw]

What a waste that Castro pickup was

;)

[RedLegSuperStar]

Castro.. Booo Ya! who wanted to DFA him?

[Gallen5862]

WTG Castro with a Homerun. We are still showing an offense tonight. Maybe guys are fighting for jobs.

[Reds Fanatic]

Valentin singles. The hit parade continues.

[Jpup]

wow.:eek:

go team.:beerme:

[captainmorgan07]

valentin with pinch hit single

[toledodan]

Trade Em All While Their Stock Is High! LOL!

[DoogMinAmo]

Castro.. GONE!! 9-3 Reds

And to think I was going to make a wise crack about him too:

Is it an oxymoron to say a hitter's count to Castro?

[RFS62]

I loathe the Castro loathing

He is what he is.

[captainmorgan07]

i called it woudl be an inspired effort tonite

[RedLegSuperStar]

Sorry everyday Eddie.. maybe tomorrow

[Jpup]

I think the offense will be OK.

[Caveat Emperor]

What a waste that Castro pickup was

;)

Even a broken clock is right twice a day. Just don't set your watch by a Castro HR unless it's got a month-to-month feature on it.

[membengal]

Well well. I think I wrote over the trade discussion thread that even I would prefer Castro at SS to Clayton. I think I mean that. It's nice to see him hit a bit, even if only for a short time.

[Tornon]

Denorfia grounds a single into left

[CTA513]

Rockies BP stinks.

Maybe we can trade them Weathers for Holliday.

Ill take Fuentes.

:thumbup:

[flyer85]

Reds have scored a bunch with two outs

[captainmorgan07]

Sorry everyday Eddie.. maybe tomorrow
i was looking forward to seeing him pitch in the 9th to

[reds44]

Deno joins the party!

[captainmorgan07]

deno with a single

[Patrick Bateman]

Karma....

on the day that Kearns was traded, BurgerKing (who ruined Kearn's career), is lit up by the likes of Castro.

[redsmetz]

There's some seriously good karma happening down at old GABP. :cool: :cool: :cool:

[Matt700wlw]

deno with a single

His name is God. :p:

[Tornon]

Phillips grounds to second, 9-3 Reds after 7

[RedLegSuperStar]

i was looking forward to seeing him pitch in the 9th to

Well they should of let Stormy hit and pitch next inning

[Caveat Emperor]

His name is God. :p:

At least, that's what all the ladies seem to call him. :D

[Reds Fanatic]

14 hits for the Reds tonight.

[reds44]

1-10 from out top 2 and we have scored 9 runs.

WOW!

[captainmorgan07]

that was my kind of inning all with 2 outs basically other than juniors bomb

[Jpup]

wait until you guys see the Oakland/Boston highlights. Loretta just pulled a Bill Buckner to let the A's tie the game up. :laugh:

[KronoRed]

That should be enough for Mercker/Weather/Others to not blow it ;)

[captainmorgan07]

wait until you guys see the Oakland/Boston highlights. Loretta just pulled a Bill Buckner to let the A's tie the game up. :laugh:
ouch it is the 20th year anniversary of that

[Gallen5862]

We might still put Everyday Eddie in the 9th. Its been a while since he pitched last and need to get him some work.

[Tornon]

Coffey pitching

[captainmorgan07]

We might still put Everyday Eddie in the 9th. Its been a while since he pitched last and need to get him some work.
sounds like good idea

[Tony Cloninger]

This is almost like what they called the Yankees of the 50's and early 60's.... 5 o'clock lightning, or 3 o'clock thunder....or something like that.
They would be in close (day) games...then bam....score 3-4 to put it out of reach in the late innings. Doubt we can confuse Castro with McDougal or Bauer though.

As long as Castro can maybe share....the starting SS spot with Clayton, they can both shine here and there w/o being overexposed.

[Jpup]

Liriano is getting lit up by the Indians.

[DoogMinAmo]

1-10 from out top 2 and we have scored 9 runs.

WOW!

Phillips is the only starter who has not gotten a hit. Him and Freel are the only Reds batters tonight without a hit. On that note, why is Junior still out there?

[Tornon]

Carroll flies to Griffey.. almost botched it. 1 out

[Jpup]

Phillips is the only starter who has not gotten a hit. Him and Freel are the only Reds batters tonight without a hit. On that note, why is Junior still out there?

the Reds bullpen?:evil:

[captainmorgan07]

Phillips is the only starter who has not gotten a hit. Him and Freel are the only Reds batters tonight without a hit. On that note, why is Junior still out there?
he's had a lot of rest the last few days

[Tornon]

Barmes lines to Dunn, 2 out

[reds44]

We might still put Everyday Eddie in the 9th. Its been a while since he pitched last and need to get him some work.
Yep I agree.
