[Degenerate39]

The Reds have two catchers playing today?

[Tom Servo]

The Reds have two catchers playing today?
That's what I get for directly copying and pasting a Fay tweet.

[Raisor]

Free Todd Frazier!

[Reds1]

No Xavier paul again. What's he have to do for a start over Stubbs.

[Tom Servo]

No Xavier paul again. What's he have to do for a start over Stubbs.
Have a right handed starter on the mound for the other team.

[DGullett35]

Yea Jonathon Sanchez starts a tomm. so X wont be starting that game either. I would like to see what hes capable of in the leadoff spot though. couldnt hurt.

[SirFelixCat]

So, now that the 0 for 10 streak is over, think we can make it 2 in a row on the other side?

And we have the best seats ever for tonight's game...behind our dugout, 6 rows back.http://yfrog.com/ki3wqbqej

[Degenerate39]

I loathe quick outs by the Reds

[Reds Fanatic]

Reds go down 1-2-3 in the first. 10 pitch inning.

[DGullett35]

Id like to see Cueto keep that pitch count down in the early innings. Hes struggled with that some in his last 2 starts even tho hes had good results

[Tom Servo]

Welp. This is bad. Two straight singles and a pickoff throw into centerfield. 2nd and 3rd, no outs.

[Tom Servo]

Yep. Of course. CarGo single to right. 2-0 Rox.

[Reds Fanatic]

Cueto in early trouble as Fowler and Rutledge single and then advance as Cueto has an error on a pickoff attempt.

Gonzalez singles in 2 runs. 2-0 Rockies.

[cincyinco]

Looking ugly so far..

[DGullett35]

Reminds me of that start he had in May vs. the Braves

[Tom Servo]

I'm not a doomsayer, and there's certainly still time...but looks like the winning streak may be about over. This is U-G-L-Y.

[Reds Fanatic]

Cuddyer doubles 4 straight hit for the Rockies

[Tom Servo]

an out!

[Tom Servo]

another one!

[Blitz Dorsey]

Damage control. Let's go now! Plenty of time left, especially in this park. I'm feeling an 11-9 Reds win or something.

[DGullett35]

Cueto will still go 6 and not give up another run. I have faith. Hopefully the bats come alive. When was the last time Bruce had a big game?

[Reds Fanatic]

He gets out of the inning. 3-0 Rockies after 1.

[Tom Servo]

That actually turned out better than I anticipated there. Thought the Rox would put up at least 4.

[DGullett35]

3 runs isnt much of a lead here esp. with the Rox pitching staff

[_Sir_Charles_]

3 runs isnt much of a lead here esp. with the Rox pitching staff

Yep. Cueto's had his hiccup...now he'll settle in. This feels like a W to me.

[Tom Servo]

mother of god, the mascot is doing the exorcist head spin.

[Tom Servo]

Ludwick! :jump:

[Reds Fanatic]

Ludwick homers! 3-1 Rockies.

[DGullett35]

Ludwick Bomb.

[_Sir_Charles_]

That was LONG gone

[Reds Fanatic]

Ludwick is on fire this month. .323 BA and OPS of 1.018

[DGullett35]

I was watching gameday and the ball just kept going and going.

[redsfaninbsg]

Now we're talking

[11larkin11]

Funkblast by The Toddfather!

[Tom Servo]

Frazier! :jump:

[Reds Fanatic]

Frazier homers to left center! 3-2 Rockies.

[DGullett35]

Ludwick has 16HR this year. He'll catch Bruce eventually

[_Sir_Charles_]

Funkblast by The Toddfather!

Okay....that was unique. :O)

[Reds Fanatic]

Frazier is also on fire this month: .329 AVG with OPS of .929

[DGullett35]

Told ya. 3 run lead isnt nothin. Frazier and Ludwick have been offensive saviors

[Reds Fanatic]

Hanigan grounds out. 3-2 Rockies mid 2nd.

[DGullett35]

Alrite Johnny settle now

[11larkin11]

Okay....that was unique. :O)

Well funkblast is Jamie Ramsey's, and the Toddfather...I don't know, I think I may have seen it on Twitter. Maybe from Dallas Latos?

[cincyinco]

Man Ludwick murdered that ball.. Frazier keeps on hitting. Good to get 2 back for my boy Sir Felix Cat, who deserves to see another win with his wife in attendance. Let's hope Cueto can get rollin..

[_Sir_Charles_]

Well funkblast is Jamie Ramsey's, and the Toddfather...I don't know, I think I may have seen it on Twitter. Maybe from Dallas Latos?

Yeah, I recognized Funkblast. It was the Toddfather that caught me off guard. Funny though. :beerme:

[DGullett35]

Well funkblast is Jamie Ramsey's, and the Toddfather...I don't know, I think I may have seen it on Twitter. Maybe from Dallas Latos?

I met Dallas at Progressive Field in Cleveland during Mats start. She was pretty cool and not how some on here have made of her.

[11larkin11]

I met Dallas at Progressive Field in Cleveland during Mats start. She was pretty cool and not how some on here have made of her.

Oh Dallas seems very cool. I hold nothing against any Reds related people on Twitter. Especially Fay and Dallas Latos. The questions people ask on there are usually really, really, really stupid. I feel bad for them, Dallas is just a fan who gets bombarded by idiots every time Mat pitches bad. And Fay has to answer the same questions day after day after day, 90% of which people can Google, and another 8% of which are questions I would yell at a 10 year old for asking.

[Reds Fanatic]

2 Ks for Cueto. 3-2 Rockies after 2.

[DGullett35]

Oh Dallas seems very cool. I hold nothing against any Reds related people on Twitter. Especially Fay and Dallas Latos. The questions people ask on there are usually really, really, really stupid.

I wasnt saying "you". Ive read some posts on here before which were when I was in the Sundeck and people were bashing her

[WVRedsFan]

Ludwick has his average up to .251.

[Reds Fanatic]

Astros up 3-2 on the Pirates in the 6th. Though with their bullpen I am not sure they could hold a 10 run lead let alone a 1 run lead.

[11larkin11]

I wasnt saying "you". Ive read some posts on here before which were when I was in the Sundeck and people were bashing her

Oh I know that, just a general response to those who do think that way.

[DGullett35]

.251 with 16HR is all the more reason he needs to be in the 4 hole when Joey gets back

[Tom Servo]

Man, Cozart is brutal as a leadoff hitter.

[DGullett35]

Oh I know that, just a general response to those who do think that way.

Yea. I wish they could meet these people before bashing them. They would think alot differently

[Tom Servo]

Stubbs! :jump:

[Reds Fanatic]

Man, Cozart is brutal as a leadoff hitter.

It is amazing they keep putting him in that spot.

[WVRedsFan]

Stubbs! Tie game.

[Reds Fanatic]

Stubbs homers! Tie game 3-3!

[DGullett35]

Span, Victorino, and Pierre who?

[_Sir_Charles_]

:jump: STUBBS!

[Tom Servo]

Friedrich doing his Mat Latos impression :D

[WVRedsFan]

Ball is flying out tonight. The ones by Ludwick and Stubbs were rockets.

[cincyinco]

Way to be Reds, way to be!

[Degenerate39]

Astros up 3-2 on the Pirates in the 6th. Though with their bullpen I am not sure they could hold a 10 run lead let alone a 1 run lead.

Tied 3-3

[Tom Servo]

Not a good start here with a Rutledge single. Don't want guys on for CarGo. Or Cuddyer after him.

[WVRedsFan]

Johnny isn't Johnny tonight.

[Tom Servo]

oh jeez, stop throwing the ball away!

[Reds Fanatic]

2nd error on Cueto in 3 innings.

[cincyinco]

Yeesh Cueto..

[DGullett35]

Wow. Johnny usually is pretty good with the glove and his pickoffs

[Reds Fanatic]

1st and 3rd as Gonzalez singles to right.

[Tom Servo]

I'd get LeCure up.

[WVRedsFan]

Six hits already. Yep, it's not his night. Get em warm. Quickly

[edabbs44]

I'd get LeCure up.

Way too soon.

[DGullett35]

I'd get LeCure up.

id let him try and work through it. Its only the 3rd. Cant blame it on the coors effect since Arroyo shut them out last night

[WVRedsFan]

Just like that, Rockies lead after tying it up.

[Reds Fanatic]

4-3 Rockies as Cuddyer grounds into a DP.

[Tom Servo]

Six hits already. Yep, it's not his night. Get em warm. Quickly
If he can get Helton here, I send him back out for the 4th to face the bottom half of the lineup. I don't let him face Gonzalez again, especially with runners on.

[WVRedsFan]

If he can get Helton here, I send him back out for the 4th to face the bottom half of the lineup. I don't let him face Gonzalez again, especially with runners on.

Agree.

[Tom Servo]

Alright Redlegs, some more dingers please.

[Tom Servo]

Bruce in a huge funk.

[Reds Fanatic]

Bruce in a huge funk.

Yes now hitting .192 this month

[DGullett35]

Bruce is very long overdue for one of his hot streaks. Maybe hes pressing with Joey out

[Tom Servo]

Man, Ludwick almost could have had that one too. Just didn't get enough of it.

[Tony Cloninger]

Bruce in a huge funk.

What again? I thought he was getting out of it these last few weeks?

Maybe in August, I guess.

[Tom Servo]

Reds go 1-2-3.

[DGullett35]

Let Bruce slump till Sept. Then he can stay hot through the playoffs if we get that far:)

[edabbs44]

Bruce in a huge funk.

Seriously. I was wondering if, Cincy gets a lead off hitter, will Bruce get bumped to 6th when Votto returns?

[_Sir_Charles_]

Seriously. I was wondering if, Cincy gets a lead off hitter, will Bruce get bumped to 6th when Votto returns?

See...I'd go the other way. I'd put Bruce 2nd and get him out of his funk.

[WVRedsFan]

I think I might start Valdez more at short. Just thinking out loud. Maybe Zach needs to clear his head.

[Tom Servo]

Tough strike zone by the ump, but I believe he has been consistent with it.

[Tom Servo]

Damn, I was hoping Johnny could get LaWhateverthisdude'snameis out and then just face pitcher, Fowler, and Rutledge in the 5th and not see CarGo.

[Reds Fanatic]

Leadoff single for Frazier

[Reds Fanatic]

Hanigan walks. 1st and 2nd.

[Tom Servo]

Can the Reds finally get a bunt down successfully?

[WVRedsFan]

Here comes the bunt.

[WVRedsFan]

Cozart, please...

[Tom Servo]

Cozart delievers! RBI single. Tie game.

[cincyinco]

Cozy comes through!

[Degenerate39]

"I say forget you Jobo I do it myself"

[Tom Servo]

Kelch talking about rare/hard it is for Stubbs to hit into a DP...plz stop Kelch.

[Tom Servo]

Stubby single!

5-4 Reds!

[Reds Fanatic]

Stubbs singles in a run. 5-4 Reds.

[cincyinco]

Stubbs! Base knock for the lead..

[WVRedsFan]

Stubbs singles. Maybe he's coming out of it for the final push.

[_Sir_Charles_]

That's what I'm talkin' about!

[Reds Fanatic]

Former Red Josh Roenicke coming in

[Tom Servo]

Former Red Josh Roenicke coming in
Good to see a familiar face :)



Now bash his skull in (metaphorically). :devil:

[Tom Servo]

DatDude2B!

7-4 Reds :)

[Reds Fanatic]

Big hit. 7-4 Reds!!

[WVRedsFan]

That's what I'm talking about. Two run double for BP. Reds lead 7-4

[Reds Fanatic]

Bruce grounds out to 2nd. Phillips to 3rd.

[WVRedsFan]

Poor Jay. Now hitting .241

[_Sir_Charles_]

Yep. Cueto's had his hiccup...now he'll settle in. This feels like a W to me.

Nostradamus...WHO'S HE?!?

[OldXOhio]

Stubbs singles. Maybe he's coming out of it for the final push.

Hopefully so.

Still make a deal Walt.

[Reds Fanatic]

Ludwick strikes out looking. 7-4 Reds mid 5th.

[Tom Servo]

Nostradamus...WHO'S HE?!?
It's not over though. :scared:

[WVRedsFan]

Hopefully so.

Still make a deal Walt.

Every time the Reds play well, the has to be a little doubt put in Walt's mind. Resist it, Walt.

[_Sir_Charles_]

It's not over though. :scared:

Of course you're right. Still plenty of time for us to run it up! :beerme:

[OldXOhio]

Poor Jay. Now hitting .241

Jay Bruce is too talented a baseball player to be hitting .241. I thought 2012 would mean the end of these regular deep slumps.

[Tom Servo]

Ugggggggh. Just what I feared. Fowler walks, Rutledge singles, and now CarGo is up.

[WVRedsFan]

Trouble brewing. Can't blow another lead. Get someone up, Dusty.

[Reds Fanatic]

Every other inning Cueto has struggled. The 1st, 3rd and now the 5th.

Fowler walks and Rutledge singles

[Tom Servo]

Nice job getting the out at 2nd.

[WVRedsFan]

Close call at second. One out, runners at 1st and 3rd.

[redsfaninbsg]

Cargo is horrendous on the bases.

[Tom Servo]

CarGo picked off, bases now empty with 2 outs.

[Tom Servo]

Cuddyer lines out to third.

7-5 Reds after 5.

[redsfaninbsg]

Do you bring Cueto back out?

[OldXOhio]

Cueto in line for the W. Wow

[_Sir_Charles_]

Do you bring Cueto back out?

I do.

[WVRedsFan]

Do you bring Cueto back out?

I don't.

[OldXOhio]

Do you bring Cueto back out?

Yep

[_Sir_Charles_]

Pirates up 4-3 btw.

[Reds Fanatic]

Still need more runs. Feels like a night where you need about 10 runs to win this.

[OldXOhio]

Pirates up 4-3 btw.

What a nightmare this has become to be an Astros fan

[Tom Servo]

I bring Cueto back out for one more frame, but only because it's the bottom of the lineup.

[Tom Servo]

Rolen! :jump:

[redsfaninbsg]

One has to wonder if Houston will win a game on their current home stand.

[Tom Servo]

Hit that one off of the man he was traded for. :D

[WVRedsFan]

8-5!!!

[Reds Fanatic]

Rolen homers. 4th Reds homer tonight!!

[edabbs44]

What a nightmare this has become to be an Astros fan

They need to form a support group with Mets fans.

[_Sir_Charles_]

:jump: Rolen!

[edabbs44]

Rolen homers. 4th Reds homer tonight!!

I think we have proof that the ball is carrying tonight. :)

[WVRedsFan]

Hanigan walks. Bunt time.

[Tom Servo]

They need to form a support group with Mets fans.
At least Ike Davis has hit 3 solo HR's for them tonight. :eek:

[WVRedsFan]

Cueto is the only pitcher I trust to bunt on the Reds

[Vottomatic]

I'm starting to get this weird feeling about this Reds team. Guys who have struggled are starting to hit including Rolen. Pitching is solid. And our MVP candidate comes back in a couple of weeks. Yikes.

[Tom Servo]

Cozart flies out to end the inning.

8-5 Reds to the bottom of 6.

[George Foster]

Cozart flies out to end the inning.

8-5 Reds to the bottom of 6.

thanks Servo...my dish is out...an update every now and then is welcomed...:thumbup:

[Tom Servo]

Helton leadoff single. Never mind what I said before, I say get Cueto out.

[redsfaninbsg]

Is anybody warming up?

[WVRedsFan]

Helton singles. Get Cueto out. Now.

[George Foster]

Helton singles. Get Cueto out. Now.

Is it Cueto or is it Helton? that guy could hit it with a broom stick...seriously.

[WVRedsFan]

Is it Cueto or is it Helton? that guy could hit it with a broom stick...seriously.

He's struggled this year, but I agree. They're hitting him pretty well, from top to bottom. With our bullpen, I say don't let him blow this.

[WVRedsFan]

Close. Hitting him hard, but just foul.

[Captain Hook]

He's struggled this year, but I agree. They're hitting him pretty well, from top to bottom. With our bullpen, I say don't let him blow this.

If they're hitting Queto pretty well how do you think they'll hit against the BP?

[Tom Servo]

DJ LeMahieu may be the silliest name in baseball.

And yet he gets a base hit. 1st and 3rd, two outs.

[Tom Servo]

Lefty Tyler Colvin pinch hitting...

[redsfaninbsg]

Last batter for Johnny, if it's my call

[WVRedsFan]

Another base hit. LaMayhew. Not good. Our ace doesnt have it tonight. One more out, Johnny.

[George Foster]

that gun is juiced...96mph....no way..

[Tom Servo]

Oh my god. This ump is ridiculous.

[WVRedsFan]

Walks the pinch hitter. Bases juiced.

[George Foster]

2 outs...relax...get the batter...

[11larkin11]

DJ LeMahieu may be the silliest name in baseball.

And yet he gets a base hit. 1st and 3rd, two outs.

Hey. You gotta problem with guys named D.J.?

[Tom Servo]

I don't like this decision to leave him in. Cueto is getting squeezed and he doesn't have his good stuff to begin with.

[WVRedsFan]

Fowler up at .320. Cueto can't find the plate.

[Reds Fanatic]

He is at 94 pitches. Probably Cueto's last batter of the night no matter what happens.

[Tom Servo]

Fowler up at .320. Cueto can't find the plate.
No, he can find the plate. He can't find the ump's zone.

[redsfaninbsg]

This is Dusty's greatest strength and weakness. He WILL NOT take his starter out.

[George Foster]

over throwing...

[Tom Servo]

What the hell?!

[redsfaninbsg]

Where is that?

[WVRedsFan]

Cueto is destressed and I don't blame him.

[Tom Servo]

houdini

[Reds Fanatic]

He gets out of it. FC at 3rd. 8-5 Reds after 6.

[redsfaninbsg]

I'll take it.

[WVRedsFan]

Jammed Fowler. Inning over. Whew

[George Foster]

all is good in reds world....

[alloverjr]

Ump staring Cueto down as he walked off. Sure he was saying something pleasant loud enough for the ump to hear it.

[redsfaninbsg]

Pirates win, again.

[The Operator]

Just dropping in to say DJ Rayburn is an awful umpire. He's quickly moving up the ranks of the worst in my book.

[DGullett35]

I dont know if I believe this and Im not trying to stir anything up but a guy on another message board Imreading right now just said Victorino for Lotzkar and Joseph just went down. Fay hasnt said anything yet though

[George Foster]

Pirates win, again.

Houston might not win another game...

The Bucs are for real....

Next weekend is sort of a big deal...

[11larkin11]

No Chapman in this game. If hitters decide to not swing, a ump with a miniscule strike zone is not good.

[The Operator]

Ump staring Cueto down as he walked off. Sure he was saying something pleasant loud enough for the ump to hear it.Rayburn has rabbit ears worse than just about every ump out there.

Remember when he threw Joey out just for muttering something under his breath, without so much as showing any form of disrespect at all? He loves being noticed.

[WVRedsFan]

Johnny had a rough night. Umpire was horrible, especially in the sixth, but his line was 6 innings, ten hits, five earned runs, two walks and only three strikeouts. Not a stellar night.

[757690]

I dont know if I believe this and Im not trying to stir anything up but a guy on another message board Imreading right now just said Victorino for Lotzkar and Joseph just went down. Fay hasnt said anything yet though

I'd be very happy if that is true. Exactly the type of trade you make. A couple of B prospects for a veteran who fills a hole.

[WVRedsFan]

Stubby walks.

[marcshoe]

Just dropping in to say DJ Rayburn is an awful umpire. He's quickly moving up the ranks of the worst in my book.

Now come on, he finished first in his class at the Dave Pallone School of Umpiring!

[DGullett35]

I'd be very happy if that is true. Exactly the type of trade you make. A couple of B prospects for a veteran who fills a hole.

There is Philly scouts at the game tonight according to a Sundeck thread.

[George Foster]

Have you noticed how young a lot of these umpires are? Did a bunch of them retire over the past couple of years? I remember when the average age was like 50-55. 1st base ump looks 28.

[WVRedsFan]

What the heck?

[Reds Fanatic]

Phillips grounds into a 5-4-3 DP.

[Tom Servo]

Jeez, BP looked like he got assassinated at home plate the way he got twisted up.

[Reds Fanatic]

Hopefully he did hurt himself an awkward swing as Phillips falls on the swing.

[WVRedsFan]

Brothers can't throw a strike and walks Bruce.

[corkedbat]

I'm starting to beleve that the team that finishes 2nd in the Central between the Reds and Bucs maybe the 1st team to lose a game to the Astros (if that can conceivably happen).

[WVRedsFan]

Bruce caught stealing.

[Tom Servo]

why the hell was Bruce running

[The Operator]

Bruce's great baserunning continues.

[alloverjr]

I dont know if I believe this and Im not trying to stir anything up but a guy on another message board Imreading right now just said Victorino for Lotzkar and Joseph just went down. Fay hasnt said anything yet though

Just for giggles, who leaves the 25 man? Paul? He's done a decent job. Cairo maybe? Drop a pitcher until Votto comes back?

[OldXOhio]

Ludwick has the look of a very confident hitter.

And as I say that Bruce gets nailed trying to swipe second. Why take the bat out of RLs hands there?

[George Foster]

Ludwick has the look of a very confident hitter.

And as I say that Bruce gets nailed trying to swipe second. Why take the bat out of RLs hands there?

the only thing I can think of is your gamble to get in scoring position, if you fail Ludwick leads off the next inning...:confused:

[Tom Servo]

Arredondo in.

[Tom Servo]

Welsh pointing out the Phillies scout in attendance. Hmmm.

[OldXOhio]

Bruce caught stealing.

Berry coaching first tonight?

[OldXOhio]

Welsh pointing out the Phillies scout in attendance. Hmmm.

Charlie Kerfeld (sp), who was also in Houston

[George Foster]

no excuse for that...it was a lefty...

[WVRedsFan]

If so, he's looking at those playing. Hmmm

[Tom Servo]

no excuse for that...it was a lefty...
Gonzalez probably would have just gotten a hit anyway. :dunno:

[Tom Servo]

ugh.

[Tom Servo]

8-7 game. Not over by a long shot.

[WVRedsFan]

8-7. HR Rockies.

[Reds Fanatic]

Cuddyer homers on a ball Ludwick just missed. 8-7 Reds.

[CrackerJack]

Not sure what people see in Arrendondo

[Tom Servo]

oh boy, Bill Bray.

[George Foster]

walks kill....

[Reds Fanatic]

This could get ugly fast with Bray coming in.

[WVRedsFan]

Now we have problems. Bray against Helton. I shudder at the thought.

[757690]

Welsh pointing out the Phillies scout in attendance. Hmmm.

I guess he just crossed Arrendondo off his list.

[George Foster]

Not sure what people see in Arrendondo

you see a guy that tries to pic at the corners, falls behind, then groves one right down broadway...

[redsfaninbsg]

Bray is due for a good outing.

[Captain Hook]

Nothing against our BP but that HR is why you leave Cueto in last inning.Even after 5.2 innings on a off night I'll still take Johnny over anyone in our BP except for maybe Chapman.

[WVRedsFan]

Bray nibbling.

[Tom Servo]

Have him down 0-2, and then walk him. Smart.

[redsfaninbsg]

Pathetic

[WVRedsFan]

Bray. Not worth a roster spot to me.

[redsfaninbsg]

Here comes Logan

[George Foster]

Bray nibbling.

does not have an out pitch...if you can't get out lefties...?????

[Tom Servo]

Here comes Logan
:bang:

[Reds Fanatic]

Bray has been awful this year. He has now walked 1/3 of all the batters he has faced this year.

[DGullett35]

you see a guy that tries to pic at the corners, falls behind, then groves one right down broadway...

hes given up 4 homers this year. Actually hes been pretty good when he gets the splitter over. Your right tho hes got to get ahead and not fall behind. 5.4BB per 9 for Jose

[cincrazy]

Bray's been a productive reliever for a very long time for us. Isn't the guy allowed a little bit of a grace period coming back from injury? Good grief.

[George Foster]

Bray has been awful this year. He has now walked 1/3 of all the batters he has faced this year.

I don't see him making a playoff spot..

[OldXOhio]

Bray's been a productive reliever for a very long time for us. Isn't the guy allowed a little bit of a grace period coming back from injury? Good grief.

Well said

[alloverjr]

Bray's been a productive reliever for a very long time for us. Isn't the guy allowed a little bit of a grace period coming back from injury? Good grief.

Sure, in Louisville.

[Tom Servo]

Bray's been a productive reliever for a very long time for us. Isn't the guy allowed a little bit of a grace period coming back from injury? Good grief.
No, not really. That's the way relievers are. Good one day, washed up the next. No need to be overly sentimental about "the good old times".

[cincrazy]

I'm not being sentimental about it. I'm just not willing to give up on a guy so quick after he's been so productive in the past. Bad weeks, months, and even years happen in baseball. All the time. I'm not happy with his production, but the freaking out is a little overboard considering we're nearly 20 games over .500.

[Captain Hook]

No, not really. That's the way relievers are. Good one day, washed up the next. No need to be overly sentimental about "the good old times".

Well every pitcher that's taken the mound tonight looks washed up.

[redsfaninbsg]

Big Logan with the hammer!

[edabbs44]

:bang:

I struggle with the very negative feelings for Logan.

[edabbs44]

Big Logan with the hammer!

Ummmm...that's what she said?

[cincrazy]

Come on Logan wrap this inning up baby.

[George Foster]

I'm not being sentimental about it. I'm just not willing to give up on a guy so quick after he's been so productive in the past. Bad weeks, months, and even years happen in baseball. All the time. I'm not happy with his production, but the freaking out is a little overboard considering we're nearly 20 games over .500.

he is averaging 1 walk every 3 batters, considering he faces mostly lefties, and he's a lefty...thats not very good.

[redsfaninbsg]

Logan with the best curve I've seen out of him in quite some time.
