8/25/15 - Dodgers @ Reds

[BluegrassRedleg]

Is that really sabermetrics? Or is it just a stat?

[gilpdawg]

This Reed has thrown some great games, but other than that the early returns on the Cueto trade are mixed.

Lamb has thrown some nice 5-inning stints, but looks like a fifth starter type.

Finnegan isn't exactly dominating in AAA, I understand they are converting him to starter.

As someone said, it's early.

Unsustainable .422 BABIP. Not that worried about him. Misses bats at a nice clip.

"calligraphy" is a big word for the Cowboy

Frazier RBI double.

5-1 game.

[BluegrassRedleg]

I don't say this a helluva lot with Reds third base coaches, but that was a helluva nice read and call to send Phillips.

[Razor Shines]

Is Phillips dead?

[GADawg]

trade Phillips...he's over the hill and doesn't hustle

Riggleman has done a good job this year. Light years better than Steve Smith.

[Tom Servo]

Is Phillips dead?

RIP

[GADawg]

off topic(but who cares?) why do the braves get so much attention for supposedly rebuilding for their upcoming move in 2017 while having Markakis, Swisher, Bourn, and Pierzynski in the lineup with Jonny Gomes as PH option #1?

Tucker Barnhart might kick a puppy tonight.

[Tom Servo]

Another one of those quality at-bats from the excellent pitch hitter Skippy.

Tucker Barnhart might kick a puppy tonight.

Just as Billy needs to give up batting left-handed, Tucker might need to give up batting right-handed:

I don't know why Cowboy keeps saying LeCure's issues had nothing to do with velocity. He's throwing 89 now. It was low to mid 80s in spring training and early in Louisville. I'd say it was almost entirely due to velocity.

[androosh]

I missed Phillips dying; what happened? (And please don't just say "he died" )
