[GAC]

Kremchek examining Hanigan for a pain in the neck.

Does it require surgery to remove Dusty? :D

[CTA513]

Reds defense gives up a "double" followed by a homer from Gonzalez

2-0 Padres

[Kc61]

Two zip Padres on Gonzalez homer run. Oh well, tomorrow is another day.

[Reds/Flyers Fan]

Aaron Harang is stuck with us indefinitely.

Sigh

Absolutely the worst excuse for an "ace" there is. And he almost never steps up when this club needs a shut-down performance. 2-0 Padres already? Geesh

[BrooklynRedz]

Um, 5-0. Wow.

[Joseph]

Harang must really like Skyline chili.

[Stormy]

Harang must really want to stay n Cincinnati. ;) Actually, as Brantley mentioned, he has no choice in the matter, "He no longer is the same pitcher he was 1 1/2 years ago."

[Blitz Dorsey]

Harang should worry less about changing his facial hair before each game and more about pitching.

[CTA513]

Harang should worry less about changing his facial hair before each game and more about pitching.

We could say these type of things about almost all of the Reds pitchers and hitters.

[VR]

How does Gonzo hit 1HR in 120 plate appearances....and then jack 3 in 7 at bats vs. the Reds?

It's a rhetorical question, I know.

[Reds/Flyers Fan]

Hey Bob C: the hitters aren't hitting and the pitchers aren't pitching.

Are we still "possible contenders"?

My god this franchise is all kinds of backwards.

[CTA513]

Reds pitchers make everyone come out of slumps.

[HokieRed]

Nothing to be done but to pay out the absurd contracts of Harang and Arroyo and try to avoid such mistakes in the future.

[CTA513]

After getting down 5-0 Harang comes out in the 2nd throwing 90-94 mph.

[GAC]

Las Vegas will be giving odds on that happening. :p:

[CTA513]

6 up 6 down for Reds hitters

scoreless 3rd from Harang

[Ltlabner]

Brantley suggested earlier that Arron was purposely changing his approach from his deceptively sneaky fastball work to trying to do more change up/offspeed stuff. I'm paraphrasing because I don't remember exactly how he said it.

Likely just Cowboy babble, but if there even an inkling of truth to that idea, it raises some interesting questions.

[Kc61]

Harang and Arroyo need to pitch in a different stadium. They give up too many home runs. They are fly ball pitchers throwing in a band box.

[CTA513]

9 up and 9 down for Reds hitters

5-0 after 3 innings

[CTA513]

Scoreless 4th inning for Harang including 2 Ks

[Kc61]

Hairston with a solo home run. Which means the Reds have a run. And a hit.

[CTA513]

Scoreless 5th inning for Harang

The Reds need 4 more solo homers to tie it up

[CTA513]

Gomes with a pretty good at bat and Latos is just now closing in on 50 pitches.

[CTA513]

Gomes whiffs on Latos 50th pitch of the night for the Reds 1st out in the 5th.

[CTA513]

5-1 Padres after 5 innings

Latos now up to 62 pitches

[CTA513]

Scoreless 6th inning for Harang

Still 5-1 Padres with the Reds coming up to try and hit.

[CTA513]

Tatum walked to start the inning and Harang bunted him over...
I guess Harang is going to pitch the 7th or the Reds don't have any good bats on the bench?

[mbgrayson]

Tatum walks, first BB of the game for Latos. Then Harnag bunts him to second.

Why would we give away an out down 5-1? I suppose Dusty wants to leave Harang in, and he is better off bunting....

[Cyclone792]

Another powerful offensive display by the Reds. They've had two guys reach base in 20 plate appearances. Way to go again, boys. That .315 team on-base percentage continues to sink lower and lower.

[CTA513]

Scoreless 7th inning for Harang

[nate]

I'm surprised it's that high.

[CTA513]

Still only 1 hit for the Reds after 7 innings

[BCubb2003]

Maybe the Reds pitchers could throw a simulated first inning before each game.

[Stormy]

Still only 1 hit for the Reds after 7 innings

Hairston's unlikely connection is all that stands between us and being no hit by a kid who hasn't been in the majors 2 weeks. Impressive offensive design by Walt and Dusty.

[Stormy]

Maybe the Reds pitchers could throw a simulated first inning before each game.

:beerme:

[CTA513]

So its the 8th inning and Harang came back out to pitch.
Walked the 1st hitter then gave up a hit before being pulled.
Not really sure why he was still pitching.

[Reds/Flyers Fan]

The Reds are going to get no-hit before this season mercifully comes to an end.

Sad.

[Cyclone792]

Two straight starts by Harang with 119 pitches and 120 pitches. Not that it matters anymore anyway. Narron repeatedly took the chainsaw to his arm, and teh Dusty's worked his magic on him already.

Harang's been pitching like his arm is just shot. Might as well just unload him now while he still has some value before it's too late.

[Reds/Flyers Fan]

Can't imagine any team is interested in a high-priced pitcher that throws 1st-inning batting practice to the worst team in the league.

[CTA513]

Poor defense and a wild pitch allowed both runners Harang put on in the 8th to score.

[BuckeyeRedleg]

3 page game thread?

Sadness.

[CTA513]

Nix now hitting .180 this month after flying out to end the 8th.

[CTA513]

3 more outs left to see if the Reds get only 1 hit tonight.

[alloverjr]

Hey, Thom just said there are tickets available for tomorrow's game!



This has dropped from pathetic to painful.

[CTA513]

Game over and the Reds end up getting 1 hit.

[CTA513]

Have they started to pay fans to go yet?

[Playadlc]

1 hit? :eek:

I just noticed Baker sent Harang out to pitch in the 8th with 109 pitches already in the bank. He did that yesterday when Arroyo had 112 in the bank.

That's just brutal management.

Meanwhile, could Everth Cabrera be more awesome?

[Stormy]

Meanwhile, could Everth Cabrera be more awesome?

I think he might have had another triple in his tank, if Alfonzo hadn't been a base ahead of him. Watching him play baseball is like watching Manny Pacquiao box.

[reds44]

We got 1 hit by the Padres.

Oh yeah, it's football time.

[M2]

I love that analogy.

[Razor Shines]

Well at least JHJ can continue to come up to bat to Swagga Like Us.

[oneupper]

OK.

How about a Game Thread for today's game (7/30).

Third inning already!

[CTA513]

The Reds have already doubled yesterdays hit total.

[VR]

The Reds have already doubled yesterdays hit total.

'juggernaut' comes to mind.
