Red's Fans Check in

[Starscream]

Everybody else has one of these so why not?
Game 2 starts today. We lost on opening day, but didn't look bad. Pitching looked great, but offense was lacking (but we were facing Santana and he makes a lot of offenses look bad). Lot of young talent this year. I'm not sold on 'em yet, but I beleive that we're looking at an above .500 team this year. I predict we finish a close second behind the Cubbies.
Thoughts?

[chippewastud79]

If the over/under on wins is 80, I am going under. They still haven't shown much of anything for the offensive end. Still don't like the rotation, especially after the first 3 and I think their middle relief is terrible (see: Weathers). I understand the first game it was Santana, but they couldn't do anything. :bh

I'll be happy if we get second in the Central. That would at least mean progress has been made. Maybe Jocketty and Baker do have a plan.

I do agree that Baker probably has a hell of a plan, the problem is they have a crap farm system and they burn out their young arms. Their middle relief still looks shaky as doo-doo to me. They traded away some of their best offensive weapons (Dunn, Griffey, Hamilton) and replaced them with guys who strike out even more and young guys. I hope they can do something, but even 80 wins will be an improvement. 4th or 3rd in the Central seems like a reasonable goal, but I don't think they have the team to beat the Cubs or Cardinals to make it to 2nd. I want them to win games and give people around here something to cheer about because the Bengals seem to be going in the wrong direction, which is hard to do. :rolleyes:

They'll probably trade him before that happens. All of our people wait until they leave Cincy before they show their true selves (Hamilton, Keppinger).

[Starscream]

We look like $h!t today.

[Starscream]

Looks like we're skipping Owings in the rotation this time. Harang starts tomorrow. I believe this will give us win number two. On the bright side, at least we're beating the Nationals record.

[elderboy02]

I don't think they will trade him. One thing to remember is that Yonder Alonzo will be coming up in a year or two. I wonder if they will play Votto in LF?

Maholm is a very tough pitcher. I can't wait for Bruce to get going. He is cold right now.

Yonder should be w/ the Mudcats (Carolina) soon. That means I'll get to see him once in a while.

Votto is a great hitter, but not the best 1st baseman. Not sure if he'll fit in LF. We just got rid of the giant blunder in LF, I'll keep Hairston/Dickerson in LF for now.

[Starscream]

Maholm is a very tough pitcher. I can't wait for Bruce to get going. He is cold right now.

I know Bruce is still young, but he looked absolutely foolish on the bases in the last inning.

At least we're still at .500. The last time we won three straight to begin a road trip was 1990. Oh well, you win some, you lose some. At least we knocked the Brewers down some in the Central. We'll move up soon. St. Louis and the Cubbies look good, but we can pass Pittsburgh with ease.

Burton and Lincoln suck. If Rhodes had come in we may have kept this game from running away from us. This team has spirit though. How many times have we seen in previous years the team as a whole give up on a three run ball game. We came back and tied this game up once, but Burton screwed us over in the sixth. Owings didn't look that great, but he got passed over in the rotation previously. It's been 10+ days since he's seen action and it showed. Still, he didn't look any worse than Arroyo. Starting pitchers need to get it together (except for Harang who looks great already). Relievers need to get it together (except for Rhodes and surprisingly Weathers). Bruce made a great catch tonight, but he needs to sit the bench for a few games as punishment for his sorry offense. Where's the Bruce who came in mid-season last year and rocked the ball? Props to A-Gon who got his first hit of the season, but he's still not off the hook. The left field platoon is looking pretty good so far, although I was very skeptical of this at the start of the season.

[Starscream]

And it sucks knowing that Kepp is hitting .557 for Houston after we get rid of him. I'd take him any day over A-Gon.

It is a nice trend for the Reds, make a good hitter then trade them away. They are great at giving offense away and getting sorry bullpen pitchers in return. I would rather have the ability to score 10 runs than the pitchers who give up 10 runs :bh

I was happy when Jocketty came over. I thought he might end this type of $h!t. I guess not. Fire Dusty, have Jocketty talk his boy LaRussa in to coming over for a season or two, and get us one more good bat in the lineup and we'll have us a damn good team.

I really don't think Dusty is making the decisions, they likely come from the top down. He tries to work with what he has, which frankly isn't too much, particularly in his pitching staff. Upper management has made most of the decisions to let big bats move along and it has cost them in the ability to push runs across, they leave a ton of runs sitting on the base paths. They have what appear to be 3 good starters, one who is hit or miss and one who could be good someday. Their middle relief is so up and down it is ridiculous, still not sold on Weathers as the go-to setup man and even their closer isn't a shut-down kind of guy (we need a Papelbon or Rivera type of closer, hard to find I know, but somehow they have to find one). Just my observations, but some of it is pretty clear. :tu

It is confusing.

[Starscream]

Brantley said they're trying too hard to please the home crowd, but I'm not sure.

We've always sucked against Atlanta for years, though.

[shvictor]

I'm just surprised the Braves can beat anyone

[Starscream]

The plunking game continued today. Escobar looked happy when Votto got plunked today.

[Starscream]

Volquez gave 'em two runs yesterday by himself.

At least Atlanta has better offense than us (especially in today's game).

This one belongs to the Reds!

Tonight: Cueto v Oswaltt

Cueto looks good so far.:tu

[Starscream]

A-Gon has now surpassed BP in batting average.
6game hitting streak.

[Starscream]

Dusty's a dumbass. Why put CoCo out there when it's not a save situation. Cordero just blew this game.

4-1 Astros.

We are now 10-9 for the season. EE needs to go down to AAA and Rosales needs to come up. EE is hitting .127 for the season now.

I don't get to see them, but i do listen to each game via GameDay Audio over at mlb.com. A one time fee of 14.99 for a whole year of radio broadcasts.

Oh, ok! I will look into that. Thanks!

Match that up with GameDay pitch by pitch and it's almost better than tv. I'd rather do this than pay $70+ for mlb.tv.

Home against Houston tonight :wo We need to win tonight!

Just don't let the bullpen pitch and they have a shot :bh

[elderboy02]

With Edwin on the DL, hopefully Rosales will show Dusty that EE is worthless.

[Starscream]

:bh

Can't wait to see Rosales in this lineup.

7-1 right now. :(


Edit: make that 8-1.

[MedicCook]

No offense Andy but I don't want to see a rally from the Reds tonight. Having both pitchers on my fantasy team I make out +5 for the win/loss and if the Reds win I won't have any win points on the game.

Wish granted.
BP w/ a HR tonight. He's finally starting to come around, but too little too late. Hope to see Rosales in the starting lineup at third tomorrow night.

0-0 bottom 4th

Rosales gets his first hit and an RBI! 1-0 Reds!

I am excited for Rosales. Look at him... he just sprinted down to 1st base when he got a walk.

Give him a few dollars or years and that will change, he is a young guy trying to make an impression :tu

Bruce used to do the same. Still does to an extent. Rosales even sprints back to the dugout.

[elderboy02]

Rosales gets another sac fly :tu

[elderboy02]

Reds win with an awesome play by Rosales to get the last out :dance:

Look out EE! Here comes Rosales!
And this one belongs to the Reds!

Glad Rosales looks promising and a nice win for the Reds. Just waiting to see when he becomes comfortable in his position (assuming he stays) if he keeps the same vigor he had tonight :tu

Just waiting to see when he becomes comfortable in his position (assuming he stays) if he keeps the same vigor he had tonight :tuDon't want to put EE out to pasture just yet, but Adam "Pete" Roseales is doing a great job in the minors and hopefully will keep it up while he's in the big leagues.

[Starscream]

I've heard comparisons to Sabo and Rose already, but you know how people talk. Bruce is doing well, but if you remember last year he was the golden child. I think Rosales will make a great addition to the team regardless if he becomes "legendary":D or not.

:tpd: It will be a lot of fun watching the development!

And this one belongs to the Reds!

Reds are 8-3 on the road now. Who woulda thunk it?

12-10 for the year.
Arroyo is now 4-1.
:wo

[elderboy02]

That was a nice game today. Phillips had a HR and Sac Fly. Maybe he is starting to come around.

Maybe they can find a way to win back-to-back games on the road, but then again look at the competition. :tu

[Starscream]

Nice win today. Cueto seems to be on top of his game lately.

I missed the game because of a family reunion. I love seeing Cueto excel. We have some great starters. :)

[Starscream]

11th inning. Tough game so far.

[WildBlueSooner]

Wow...lost on an error!

[Starscream]

I was way past ready for that game to be over. Didn't care who won or lost anymore, it was way past my bedtime.
14 innings:bh

[elderboy02]

Play Ball!

[Starscream]

Great game yesterday. Tough homestand coming up. Brewers have been playing well as of late and then it's the dreaded Cards. Our home record sucks this year.

[elderboy02]

At least Phillips got some RBI's yesterday. Maybe he is finally coming around.

[Starscream]

:lv

[elderboy02]

Arroyo sucked last night.

I thought it was great how Janish was pitching. Was he ever a pitcher at some point in his career? I mean, he was throwing 91 MPH

[chippewastud79]

The Reds aren't collecting any fans with last nights performance :pu

[Genetic Defect]

what a great game lastnight, lets hope for a repeat tonight :tu

Cueto just made a heads up play. The play was over, but time wasn't called so he went into 2nd without a throw. Now he just advanced to 3rd on a wild pitch. :)

[Starscream]

And this one belongs to the Reds. No Votto or Phillips and we still beat the Cards! :wo

Yes it would. I loved seeing Hanagan throw out the guy in the 9th inning. It was a perfect throw.

[Starscream]

I'd love to see him as our regular catcher over Hernandez. He only plays when Arroyo pitches or Hernandez is at 1st. Hannigan is way underrated. Although I like Hannigan, I wish we still had David Ross as our starting catcher.

[WildBlueSooner]

bump for the Reds! :tu

[chippewastud79]

Damn, they did have a pretty nice win last night. Hopefully they can start some momentum and put 5 or 6 in a row. :tu

[hotreds]

Oh, ohh- hope Votto is ok!

[elderboy02]

No injury to Votto they just announced :wo

[chippewastud79]

He better be fine, I can't use another player on my fantasy DL. :bh

Reds are looking pretty good here tonight, hope their bullpen doesn't find a way to blow it. :tu

[Starscream]

1 game back from first place. Wow, I'm greatly impressed with the performance of this team as of late. No EE and no AGon and this team seems to tear the place up.

[elderboy02]

We are 1st in the Wild Card!
