6.28.17 The Milwaukee We Should Have Kept Our Scooters vs Thames' Reds

[WVRedsFan]

I would say lineups, pitching management, and general baseball knowledge, but I wont for obvious reasons. So bring on 2018 and more of the same. Yeah, this team has flaws but as not of much as who is leading it.

In case anyone doesn't enjoy John Lackey...tonight thru 3 innings and 61 pitches, he has zero swings and misses

Who am I to judge anyone? I know I'm wrong for doing so but I have never liked anything about John Lackey.

[Ron Madden]

Can we crowdfund $2 million to get Thom to go away?

I would surely chip in if he had to take his Dad with him.

[Ron Madden]

I do enjoy watching the Reds hit. On defense I check out pandora, Cincinnati backpage, Dayton strip clubs....

Man, you're ate up with somthin.

[Ron Madden]

I know Counsell is the opposing manager but Thom talks about him too much for my taste.

Counsell was Scrappy..

If there's anything the Brennaman's Love about a Ballplayer it's being scrappy.

Strike 'em out throw 'em out! And this one belongs to the Reds! I love Tucker Barnhart behind the dish!

Here's the explanation from the Milwaukee newspaper's story:

Milwaukee got runners on the corners with one out in the ninth against Raisel Iglesias, but Cincinnati used a double play to end it when pinch-hitter Jesús Aguilar struck out and Orlando Arcia was thrown out trying to steal second.

"The play is that Orlando stops (halfway)," said Counsell, who called for the steal from the bench. "It was going to work, and Orlando just didn’t stop in time, and they got a tag."

Sounds normal to me.

That is Reds normal.

[Mutaman]

brewers are 7-9 in games which Nelson starts. he was 8-16 last year.

[Mutaman]

Unless you dive into those numbers that really doesn't say much. He could have kept them from going say, 4-12 in his starts this year.

Moneyball or no Moneyball, 8-16 says something to me.
