Go get 'em, boys.

[cumberlandreds]

What's wrong with Cozart? He has just starting hitting the last couple of games. I thought Cairo would play today since Rolen would be sitting. Ceuto must be asking what have you got against me?

[KittyDuran]

Chip & his Buckeyes are playing a vintage game here @ GABP vs the Red Stockings. Down 0-3 B2...

[KittyDuran]

& Chip swinging... Gets a clean single and an RBI. BTW Chip's nickname is "Leadfoot" and that has gotten a lot of "air time" so far from the broadcast.

[KittyDuran]

The Buckeyes won! 5-4!

[KittyDuran]

Also they announced that if you have a ticket for today's game you'll get free admission to Cooperstown this year! I see a road trip! :)

Kitty, what are you talking about? Could you elaborate?

[KittyDuran]

Kitty, what are you talking about? Could you elaborate?

Sorry... Before today's Reds game was the annual vintage game - Red Stockings vs Buckeyes. It is played by 1860/1869 rules. They only play 3 innings. Chip is a player on the Buckeye team.

Never heard of it before. Who are the players? Just fans?

[_Sir_Charles_]

And this game is underway!

[_Sir_Charles_]

1 down. Line out to Ludwick from Aoki.

[_Sir_Charles_]

I loathe this guy. Nyjer Morgan. Thug.

[_Sir_Charles_]

2 hopper to Phillips...he goes barehanded yet AGAIN! But Cairo boots it.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Bad scoring there. It's a hit for Morgan. Clearly an error on Cairo IMO.

[mth123]

Bad scoring there. It's a hit for Morgan. Clearly an error on Cairo IMO.

Yep.

[_Sir_Charles_]

K

Sit down Braun

[_Sir_Charles_]

Man that was close! Morgan nearly picked.

[_Sir_Charles_]

LOL. Cueto has one of the best moves from a RH'er that I've ever seen. Sooooo fast and accurate.

[membengal]

2 hopper to Phillips...he goes barehanded yet AGAIN! But Cairo boots it.

Just a ridiculous play by Phillips. And should have been an out, definitely Cairo should have gotten it.

And Bruce should have caught that. Cueto's D letting him down.

[_Sir_Charles_]

GRD. Jay couldn't quite reach it. Off the edge of his glove.

[_Sir_Charles_]

2 on, 2 outs, Hart up. Nothing hit hard yet.

[_Sir_Charles_]

3-0 to Hart. IBB. Bases jacked for Weeks.

[_Sir_Charles_]

WOW. Where did THAT miss? 2-2 now.

[_Sir_Charles_]

KK

SIT DOWN!

[OnBaseMachine]

I can't understand why Miguel Cairo is still on the roster. He provides nothing of value. That error was a simple play. He's slow, can't play defense, and he's got a .365 OPS. It's time to cut bait with him.

[OesterPoster]

Thank Cairo for Cueto's 30 pitch inning. Maybe if I complain about him enough, he'll actually get a hit today.

[mth123]

Good start offseting Cairo's bungle and another mental error ny Bruce. I can't figure out why MLB makes the fan choose between watching the HOF inductions and watching the game. Saturday afternoon of HOF week-end could be a day when no one plays and there are only night games. Sunday just doesn't make sense.

[mth123]

Heisey meekly concedes another PA. 1 down.

[membengal]

Saturday afternoon of HOF week-end could be a day when no one plays and there are only night games. Sunday just doesn't make sense.

On top of that, your plan would let more people travel to see it. Hard to get back from there and make work on a Monday.

Side observation...Heisey sure hates to take a pitch.

[WVRedsFan]

Heisey-love confuses me.

[lollipopcurve]

Jay couldn't quite reach it. Off the edge of his glove.

Should have had it, without question. He did not run hard to that ball from the beginning. Bruce having his second straight inconsistent year defensively.

[mth123]

Heisey-love confuses me.

Well, he's not Stubbs, so he has that going for him.

The answer is yes, the Reds do need to make a deal.

[WVRedsFan]

Well, he's not Stubbs, so he has that going for him.

The answer is yes, the Reds do need to make a deal.Thats what I thought the answer was.

[WVRedsFan]

Wow. BP hit that off the top of his shoes. Base hit. Two out

[_Sir_Charles_]

Gotta take a PBP break, giving the baby a bath.

[WVRedsFan]

Phillips steals second. 3-2 count on Bruce.

[KittyDuran]

BP w/a steal... After feeling up Corey Hart ;)

[WVRedsFan]

Bruce, the sucker for the change up strikes out.

[WVRedsFan]

After one, Fiers with 25 pitches. And Cueto with 30.

[Reds Freak]

I know his defense hasn't helped him at all today, but Cueto hasn't exactly been pitch efficient his last several starts..

[gilpdawg]

I'm watching the Hall ceremony so when it gets to be Larkin time I'll post a heads up for the people watching the game.


Edited to add-Man. Tony Gwynn looks bad. I feel sad for him.

[WVRedsFan]

Maldanado strikes out. 1 down.

[WVRedsFan]

I'm watching the Hall ceremony so when it gets to be Larkin time I'll post a heads up for the people watching the game.

Thanks. Much appreciated.

[WVRedsFan]

Isturis pops out to first in foul territory.

[membengal]

I know his defense hasn't helped him at all today, but Cueto hasn't exactly been pitch efficient his last several starts..

you are correct, his defense hasn't helped him today.

Because his stuff looks borderline filthy so far.

[WVRedsFan]

Good inning for Cueto as Fiers bounces to third.

[bellhead]

1.2.3 2nd inning. much better..

[WVRedsFan]

13-pitch inning for Johnny. Much better

[WVRedsFan]

Ludwick pops up to short on the first pitch. One out.

[WVRedsFan]

Frazier flys to center. Two out. Theyre having a hard time figuring This pitcher out.

[WVRedsFan]

Cairo hit by pitch.

[_Sir_Charles_]

He didn't even TRY to dodge that.

[membengal]

Bad News Bears-esque. I think Cairo leaned into that.

[edabbs44]

Lean into it, Cairostein!

[gilpdawg]

He didn't even TRY to dodge that.

That's a pet peeve of mine. You aren't supposed to get the base if you don't attempt to dodge it but I can't remember the last time I saw it called.

[WVRedsFan]

Hanigan hits into frce to end inning two.

Cueto with 43 pitches and Fiers with 38.

[Reds Freak]

That's a pet peeve of mine. You aren't supposed to get the base if you don't attempt to dodge it but I can't remember the last time I saw it called.

You are allowed to stand your ground. Just can't lean into it.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Just out of curiosity...what IS the rule on that? Is it called a ball, a strike, is the batter out? I know it's the discretion of the ump...but what's the result if it?

[WVRedsFan]

If you're through baby washing, pbp is yours.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Found it.


6.08
The batter becomes a runner and is entitled to first base without liability to be put out (provided he advances to and touches first base) when --
(a) Four “balls” have been called by the umpire;
Rule 6.08(a) Comment: A batter who is entitled to first base because of a base on balls must go to first base and touch the base before other base runners are forced to advance. This applies when bases are full and applies when a substitute runner is put into the game.
If, in advancing, the base runner thinks there is a play and he slides past the base before or after touching it he may be put out by the fielder tagging him. If he fails to touch the base to which he is entitled and attempts to advance beyond that base he may be put out by tagging him or the base he missed.
(b) He is touched by a pitched ball which he is not attempting to hit unless (1) The ball is in the strike zone when it touches the batter, or (2) The batter makes no attempt to avoid being touched by the ball;
If the ball is in the strike zone when it touches the batter, it shall be called a strike, whether or not the batter tries to avoid the ball. If the ball is outside the strike zone when it touches the batter, it shall be called a ball if he makes no attempt to avoid being touched.

[gilpdawg]

Reds faithful have taken Cooperstown over. Morgan and Perez both with big ovations.

[_Sir_Charles_]

If you're through baby washing, pbp is yours.

Yep. Thanks.

[_Sir_Charles_]

KKKK

[WVRedsFan]

Reds faithful have taken Cooperstown over. Morgan and Perez both with big ovations.

JB wearing the ice cream hat. I'd like to have that hat!

[_Sir_Charles_]

KKKKK

[gilpdawg]

Barry is coming out. Speech should be soon.

[WVRedsFan]

Watching now.

[gilpdawg]

Bud Selig getting booed. Pretty classy on a day like this. :(

[Tom Servo]

damnit

[_Sir_Charles_]

Single from Ramirez to plate a run. 1-0 Brewers.

[Kc61]

Single from Ramirez to plate a run. 1-0 Brewers.

Cueto made that pitch to Ramirez too good. Ahead in the count.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Cueto made that pitch to Ramirez too good. Ahead in the count.

Okay. Or you could just say it was a good piece of hitting by Aramis.

[WVRedsFan]

Funny, lots of boos when Selig introduced.

[membengal]

Bud Selig getting booed. Pretty classy on a day like this. :(

Booing Bud Selig is never wrong.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Hart grounds out to 3rd. 1-0 Milwaukee after 2 1/2.

[Tom Servo]

Okay. Or you could just say it was a good piece of hitting by Aramis.
We never credit anybody on the other team on Redszone, you know that Charles. :(

[_Sir_Charles_]

Slow tapper back to the pitcher for the 1st out.

[_Sir_Charles_]

We never credit anybody on the other team on Redszone, you know that Charles. :(

LOL. True. I just don't like the idea that when our pitcher is ahead in the count that he should waste pitches to get a guy to chase or to start nibbling. Go after the guy aggressively and trust your defense...at least that's what I'd prefer.

[Kc61]

We never credit anybody on the other team on Redszone, you know that Charles. :(

Cueto made that pitch too good. He was ahead in the count 1-2, good hitter up. He just had retired Braun and was almost out of the inning.

Kudos to the hitter, sure, but Cueto made a bad pitch IMO.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Heisey with a soft liner to right for a single. he'll take it.

[Kc61]

Nice piece of hitting by Heisey, LOL.

[mth123]

Chris Heisey with a hit. The end of the world in 3, 2, 1 ...

[_Sir_Charles_]

Nice piece of hitting by Heisey, LOL.

LOL. Nice.

[Tom Servo]

I thought Heisey was out.

[gilpdawg]

That Gary Carter piece almost got to me.

[_Sir_Charles_]

He looked out to me. Hit and run, swing and miss.

[WVRedsFan]

How was he safe?

[Tom Servo]

How was he safe?
Well, it was close.

[mth123]

That Gary Carter piece almost got to me.

It got me.

[Tom Servo]

Valdez delivers!

1-1 game.

[_Sir_Charles_]

1-1 ballgame! An rbi single from....wait for it.....Wilson Valdez?!? LOL! Speaking of the world ending in 3...2...1... :O)

[WVRedsFan]

Tie game

[Kc61]

Without looking at any stats, Valdez seems to do better with men on base. Nice hit there, served out to right field.

[Tom Servo]

1-1 ballgame! An rbi single from....wait for it.....Wilson Valdez?!? LOL! Speaking of the world ending in 3...2...1... :O)
His 10th RBI of the year. Hanigan had 11 and Mes has 14.

[Tom Servo]

throwing error, Valdez to third. Still one out.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Wow....great catch by Kelch. He was commenting on Hart's placement holding Valdez on and it immediately bites them in the butt. Ball gets by him, Valdez to third.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Sac fly by Phillips. 2-1 Reds

[Tom Servo]

Sac Fly by DatDude.

2-1 Reds.

[Kc61]

I'm glad Janish has an opportunity with the Braves. Always thought he played hard and was a good defender.

Valdez can do more things. Runs better, more versatile, little better hitter. Glad the Reds have him as the backup middle infielder.

[Tom Servo]

Bruce hits into the shift to end the inning.

2-1 Reds after 3.

bold prediction: Bruce will hit a HR today.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Ground out to 2b/rf from Bruce. But we take the lead, 2-1 Good guys.

[Doc. Scott]

Bruce's hard grounder could very well have been a hit if the fielders hadn't been in the shift. I wonder how many BA points he's lost due to the shift this year?

[TeamBoone]

The few times that I've actually seen Valdez get the opportunity to play, I've thought that he did pretty well.

And, it looked to me that Chris was out too, but so what. How many times has a Reds player been on the opposite end of a bad call?

Go Reds! Congrats Barry!

[gilpdawg]

Probably sacrilege to say this here, but it makes me sick that Ron Santo couldn't get inducted while he was living.

For those who want to see Larkin, Santo's widow is going to speak first, then Barry.

[_Sir_Charles_]

KKKKKK

[Tom Servo]

Probably sacrilege to say this here, but it makes me sick that Ron Santo couldn't get inducted while he was living.

No, I completely agree. I hate that the MLB does that kind of stuff. See also: O'Neil, Buck.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Pop out to Bruce. 2 outs

[_Sir_Charles_]

Probably sacrilege to say this here, but it makes me sick that Ron Santo couldn't get inducted while he was living.

For those who want to see Larkin, Santo's widow is going to speak first, then Barry.

Agree completely. The hall voters should feel like crap for that.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Izturis with a hard shot past Cairo. Triple.

[Tom Servo]

Man I feel like the Reds pitchers are getting killed with these grounders down the line in this series.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Fiers up. 2 down, man on third.

[Tom Servo]

Nice job to strand the runner :)

[_Sir_Charles_]

Chopper to Valdez, runner stranded. 2-1 Reds.

[WVRedsFan]

Cueto with 77 pitches through four. About 19 per inning. Can't believe he will go more than six today.

[Kc61]

Cueto with 77 pitches through four. About 19 per inning. Can't believe he will go more than six today.

Chapman is available, Arredondo isn't.

So Reds will probably have to get through the seventh and eighth with some combo of Marshall, Lecure, Ondrusek, Simon, Bray.

[Tom Servo]

http://reds.enquirer.com/img/photos/062997larkin_300x528.jpg

[_Sir_Charles_]

IF pop out from Ludwick. 1 down.

[bellhead]

Cueto with 77 pitches through four. About 19 per inning. Can't believe he will go more than six today.

looking like 6...

[_Sir_Charles_]

Frazier with a single up the middle.

[WVRedsFan]

http://reds.enquirer.com/img/photos/062997larkin_300x528.jpg

Deion and Brantley behind him.

[Tom Servo]

Deion and Brantley behind him.
Mullet blowing in the wind.

[_Sir_Charles_]

LOL. Cairo flies out to center...Morgan does a butt-plant. Frazier back to 1st.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Hanigan flashes his warning track power. Fly out to right, inning over. 2-1 Reds it stays.

[WVRedsFan]

Hanigan slumping. It seems that this happens the more he plays.

Did I just do a Yogi?

[_Sir_Charles_]

Aoki grounds out to Phillips. 1 down.

[gilpdawg]

Vickie Santo done. Larkin after the commercial.

[WVRedsFan]

Gilpdawg...did half the crowd get up and leave on the grass seats. It looks empty on TV.

[_Sir_Charles_]

KKKKKKK

[_Sir_Charles_]

Heck of a play by Frazier, diving stop...but Braun barely beats the throw.

[gilpdawg]

Gilpdawg...did half the crowd get up and leave on the grass seats. It looks empty on TV.

I'm watching on TV too. I'm just helping out the channel flippers, but yeah, I noticed earlier it looked light.

[Kc61]

Cueto with 89 pitches.

Pirates lead Marlins 1-0 in the fourth. Pirates get great pitching at home.

Basket catch by Heisey ends inning. Cueto now with 90 pitches.

[_Sir_Charles_]

LOL. Basket catch by Heisey. Some confusion it seemed with Phillips charging back. But inning over. 2-1 Reds.

[WVRedsFan]

In Cooperstown...what happened to George Grande?

[_Sir_Charles_]

Taking a PBP break. Sorry fellas. Barry gets my attention.

[Tom Servo]

Cueto taps one back to the pitcher and is tagged out.

[_Sir_Charles_]

I love that. "la la la la la, we got titles and we in cooperstown too. How you like us now" Eric the red. Love it.

[gilpdawg]

Eric Davis rules. That was funny.

[Tom Servo]

Heisey K's.

[WVRedsFan]

Bench with the Nikon.

[Tom Servo]

Valdez singles up the middle.

[Tom Servo]

BP hits one far...but not far enough as it's tracked down just in front of the warning track.

Still 2-1 Reds after 5.

[Doc. Scott]

Funny to see the announcers falling all over themselves to praise Valdez, who's just on the kind of modest hot streak everyone has. He's still mediocre at best. I'm just saying.

[Tom Servo]

double post

[Tom Servo]

Weeks grounds out.

[bellhead]

Might get 7 out of Johnny..

[Tom Servo]

Frazier can't barehand a bunt by Maldonado. He's safe at 1st.

[Kc61]

Frazier can't barehand a bunt by Maldonado. He's safe at 1st.

Didn't think barehand play was necessary there. Fielder's instinct, obviously.

[Tom Servo]

Izturis K's to end the inning. 9 K's for Cueto.

2-1 Reds to the bottom of 6.

[Tom Servo]

Bruce pops up to shallow center.

Ludwick K's.

Frazier flies out to deep center, Morgan with an interesting catch.

2-1 Reds after 6.

[kaldaniels]

Cueto at 105 pitches.

[WVRedsFan]

You know, this game is playing out just like 3/4 of the games this year--close and ready to be a disaster at any moment. What I would give for some runs.

[Degenerate39]

This speech is a long one

[Tom Servo]

Cueto still in to start the 7th.

Kottaras pinch hitting for Fiers, grounds out to short.

[Tom Servo]

Aoki doubles.

Could be trouble here.

[Tom Servo]

Morgan grounds out to short. 2 out.

Aoki goes to third, Braun up.

[kaldaniels]

Home run streak in jeopardy...

[Tom Servo]

Braun flies out to center. Good job Johnny. :beerme:

2-1 Reds to the bottom of 7.

[bellhead]

Flyout by Braun...

[WVRedsFan]

Home run streak in jeopardy...

Let's fix that now!

[Tom Servo]

Cairo doubles off the wall.

[Kc61]

Cairo pinch hitting for Cueto, doubles off the wall.

Cairo is playing first today.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Home run streak in jeopardy...

Good call. I overlooked that. Let's fix that this inning.

[Tom Servo]

Cairo is playing first today.
well then, I'm an idiot

[Blitz Dorsey]

As long as the Reds win, I hope there is not a HR in this game just so I can stop hearing about the "streak" at GABP.

[_Sir_Charles_]

*standing ovation* Well deserved Barry. :clap: :clap:

[Blitz Dorsey]

Nice bunt from Hanny.

[Tom Servo]

Hanigan sac bunts Cairo to third.

[757690]

Home run streak in jeopardy...

Ondresuk is warming up, however... :(

[Kc61]

well then, I'm an idiot

No you're not.

I wonder how the Reds are going to handle the eighth inning here. No Arredondo.

[WVRedsFan]

Logan

[_Sir_Charles_]

Paul pinch hitting.

[Gallen5862]

Thanks for the pbp.

[Kc61]

Logan

Hope he has a good inning. Xavier Paul hitting now with man on third.

[Tom Servo]

Xavier Paul IS pinch hitting for Cueto, not like that fake pinch hitter for Cueto that made me look dumb.

[Blitz Dorsey]

A guy named Xavier has to do well in Cincinnati, right? Right? RIGHT?

[Kc61]

Second guess here. With man on third, perhaps Scott Rolen would have been a good choice here. Xavier has fallen behind in the count.

[Blitz Dorsey]

Wrong.

[Tom Servo]

X-Man strikes out. 2 out.

[kaldaniels]

One AB in the big picture is meaningless, but I hate to see a guy looking for an opportunity for playing time fail like that.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Xavier Paul K's. 2 down.

[WVRedsFan]

Putting up Paul in this situation proves that the bench is weak.

[Blitz Dorsey]

Are we sure that wasn't Costanzo disguised as someone named "Xavier Paul"? (Same type of AB.)

[_Sir_Charles_]

Just missed extra bases there.

[Kc61]

Are we sure that wasn't Costanzo disguised as someone named "Xavier Paul"? (Same type of AB.)

I'm a big believer in lefty/righty matchups but they do require a certain level of proficiency.

Reds had better options there than Xavier Paul. Very disappointing at bat.

Maybe Heisey will come through.

[kaldaniels]

Are we sure that wasn't Costanzo disguised as someone named "Xavier Paul"? (Same type of AB.)

:laugh:

To be fair to Paul he has looked better than Constanzo though. Small sample though.

[OesterPoster]

Massive fail yet again.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Damn. Grounder to short to end the inning. 2-1 Reds.

[Tom Servo]

Heisey grounds out to third. Leadoff double for nought.

2-1 Reds after 7.

[Kc61]

Pirates up 3-0 over Marlins. Bucs are tough at home.

[Tom Servo]

Ondrusek in.

[WVRedsFan]

Pirates up 3-0 over Marlins. Bucs are tough at home.

Best home record in the majors.

[Tom Servo]

Ramirez pops up to short.

Hart grounds out to third.

[_Sir_Charles_]

I thought Barry's speech was fine. Some good funny moments. But just so very wrong at the same time. Please tell me I was hearing voices in my head...but didn't Barry actually THANK the Cubs fans? ;)

[Tom Servo]

Weeks singles to left.

[WVRedsFan]

I thought Barry's speech was fine. Some good funny moments. But just so very wrong at the same time. Please tell me I was hearing voices in my head...but didn't Barry actually THANK the Cubs fans? ;)

Yes. Un-called for. :)

[Tom Servo]

Maldonado singles to left. 1st and 2nd.

[kaldaniels]

Here's Logan!

[OesterPoster]

Yes. Un-called for. :)

He went to Michigan. His judgement can't be trusted. :)

[WVRedsFan]

He went to Michigan. His judgement can't be trusted. :)

Word. :)

[_Sir_Charles_]

He went to Michigan. His judgement can't be trusted. :)

Nice. :O)

[Kc61]

Logan very hittable today. Got lucky that Ramirez popped up when ahead in the count.

Lots of foul balls, very few swing and missed, if any.

Hope he gets through this.

[Tom Servo]

Izturis pops up to 2nd.

2-1 Reds to bottom of 8.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Inning over. 2-1 Reds still. pop out to 2nd.

[WVRedsFan]

Need runs.

[Kc61]

Brewers with one run and ten hits in this ballgame. Always a little lucky when that happens.

[kaldaniels]

Johnny hanging out in the dugout. I've seen that from a couple of our starters this year, I like it.

[Tom Servo]

Need runs.
Not if Chapman has anything to say about it.


Valdez grounds out to short.

[Tom Servo]

DatDude1B

[_Sir_Charles_]

Nice. Hard single through the hole to left.

Pitching change. Parra?

[_Sir_Charles_]

Yep, Manny Parra in.

[OesterPoster]

It'd be nice if Jay could extend the GABP HR streak here.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Bruce, Ludwick, Frazier, Cairo, Hanigan, PH, Heisey and Valdez all due up. *grin*

[dman]

It'd be nice if Jay could extend the GABP HR streak here.

When Jay Bruce had the RBI single last night, I liked what Marty and Cowboy had to say about how much more effective Jay is when he just lays back off of trying to swing for the fences every time up. I'd be completely satisfied to see Jay just get a base hit right here.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Good looking swing there. Straighten that out a bit Jay.

[Tom Servo]

Bruce fielder choice grounder, BP out at 2nd.

[Degenerate39]

The Marlins are worthless

[_Sir_Charles_]

The Marlins are worthless

Not disagreeing. But as long as we keep winning, I couldn't care less what the other teams are doing. Just take care of business boys and everything'll be fine. :beerme:

[_Sir_Charles_]

Axford in.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Ransom in at short for the Crew.

[Tom Servo]

Ludwick singles

[_Sir_Charles_]

Ludwick with a rope to center. 1st & 2nd with Frazier up.

[bellhead]

Wow Jay Bruce...

[_Sir_Charles_]

Jay. Wow. Picked off second from the CATCHER! Good lord.

[WVRedsFan]

Jay Bruce sometimes is just bone-headed. Lapses in judgment a lot anymore. Goodness.

[Tom Servo]

:(

[paintmered]

Brucie forgot about 2nd in his need to get to 3rd.

Egads.

[The Operator]

Bruce's baserunning is getting comical lately. Maybe he needs a leash.

[OesterPoster]

INexcusable. Simply inexcusable.

[mth123]

Jy Bruce with another mental lapse.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Bruce's baserunning is getting comical lately. Maybe he needs a leash.

Or a smack upside the head.

[Crumbley]

The World Heavyweight Champion of mental mistakes

[VR]

Jy Bruce with another mental lapse.

Somethins gotta be up with that boy.

[OesterPoster]

Somethins gotta be up with that boy.

I still think it's a female. Just my opinion though.

[reds1869]

I love Jay Bruce but he really needs to keep his head in the game. I agree with VR, something has to be going on. I've never seen Jay make so many mental errors.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Missile launched!

[corkedbat]

Does this team go to sleep on the bases more often than most or is it just because I follow the Reds on a daily basis that it seems that way?

[The Operator]

Does this team go to sleep on the bases more often than most or is it just because I follow the Reds on a daily basis that it seems that way?It sure does seem that way doesn't it.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Stubbs in center, Heisey in left.

Ransom, Aoki & Morgan up.

[paintmered]

Let's make this a quick inning, Chapman.

[Tom Servo]

see ya Ransom

[Degenerate39]

K

[paintmered]

Rack 'em up, sit 'em down.

[Tom Servo]

Would love to keep Aoki off the bases here.

[Tom Servo]

Aoki grounds out to 2nd.

[kaldaniels]

I love Jay Bruce but he really needs to keep his head in the game. I agree with VR, something has to be going on. I've never seen Jay make so many mental errors.

I thought he misplayed Ramirez's double early in the game myself.

[WVRedsFan]

I thought he misplayed Ramirez's double early in the game myself.

Two of us.

[Kc61]

Aroldis needs to get it over to Morgan. No walks before Braun. 1-1 count.

[_Sir_Charles_]

double roll versus double somersault.

[VR]

Aroldis needs to get it over to Morgan. No walks before Braun. 1-1 count.

Gomez up

[_Sir_Charles_]

Gomez is PH for Morgan btw.
