Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

It looks like Scott Rolen comes back to us today :td

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Good thing he comes back this week when we have a DH. That way Frazier will still get in the lineup in one form or another.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Very true. I hate seeing Frazier benched.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

I've got a feeling that Rolen will be healthy enough to play for about two weeks.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

BTW, did anyone else see the through the legs pass by Phillips to start the double play yesterday?

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Amazing!

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Yep, I watched it on TV and I was like "Holy $hit!"

@DatDudeBP is a freaking pimp.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

I am a Reds fan again for this series. :D :wo :banger :D :banger

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

We went on a 6 game streak last time you were a fan, so maybe we'll have another winning streak!
Sweep!

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Not baseball related, but I read the Cincinnati chili photo thread/article today, but as of this evening I can't find it. It was at cincinnati.com (the enquirer site). Anybody that finds it, please link it here. I want to come to cincy for a Reds game, but I'd rather go to cincy for some 5-way chili and a Reds game on the side.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

I'll buy the 5-way, if you ever get here. :tu

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Not Cincinnati Chili related, but it looks like the Battle of Ohio turned into batting practice tonight. :hm

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Another quality start from Latos. :bh

WINdians end the streak. :banger:tu :banger :tu

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

:mad: :td

C'mon Reds!

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Latos said the Indians were stealing signs last night. Good for Cleveland. It's a wonder with our average w/ RISP why we don't do the same.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

When your ERA is over 5.0, you don't have the luxury of crying foul. Thats like Stubbs claiming that the pitchers are greasing the ball when he strikes out. :td

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Quote of the night was from an unnamed Indians hitter:

Finally, an unnamed Indians hitter said this:

“Tell him you don’t have to steal signs when you’re tipping pitches.”


Talking smack to Latos. I love it! Some bad blood between Lowe and Dusty, now this. Maybe some action will go down at the park tonight.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Dominate closer work by Chapman today. Hope his arm isn't getting tired being the everyday closer. Oh wait, he splits those duties. :hm

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

What a letdown...

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Last couple of weeks he's gotten rocked. What gives?

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

I have heard from a couple guys now that his back was bothering him.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

You got some friends in the clubhouse? :confused:

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Cuban Missle Crisis. ;)

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Oh yeah, you know it :rolleyes:

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

What is your source on this or is this just speculation? It sounds feasible, but I haven't heard anything from Fay or any of the other Reds media coverage.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Nice.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

From Lance McAlister's (1530 HOMER radio host) twitter 17 hours ago:

"As Dusty said on pregame last night ... Chapman has been bothered by lower back issues #Reds"

https://twitter.com/#!/LanceMcAlister

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

An excuse after he gives up the homerun. :confused:

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Last 6 appearances, given up runs in 4 of them, 3 losses and 2 blown saves. He still hasn't proved he can handle anything more than spot duty without getting worn down. :rolleyes:

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Reading is fundamental. This was pre-game

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

I read it correctly, no confusion here. He didn't bother to give the excuse until after he blew the game ;)

Chapman blows the game.

then

'Dusty said in pregame that his back was bothering him.'

If he doesn't give up the homerun, the twitter likely never happens. :2

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

This just in from tweeter:

Arroyo said before the game he had some bad fried chicken, could be the reason the Reds lost tonight.

:tu

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Studly, your record continues to skip. It sure is getting awful tiresome to hear your constant piling on in this thread. This thread is for Reds fans- which you aren't. So please do us fans a favor and maybe start a Reds haters thread where you can post your bombast all the time and those of us that support the Reds don't have to read it. Sorry, but it sure is getting old to deal with your pablum everytime the Reds lose, and your deafening silence when they win.:2

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Thank you for telling me where my loyalties lie. Not a Reds hater by any means, just far from a homer. Sorry I can't only stop by when they win to post. I post when they win, I post when they lose. Apparently nothing negative shall ever be posted in this thread. Unfortunately, without Andrew and I, there wouldn't be much of a sports discussion in this thread. I am a sports fan first, I am a realist, I call it like I see it, without the blind faith of claiming everything Reds related is gold. ;s

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Reds drop 3 to one of the Tigers' rivals. I am not happy with the Reds right now.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

You're not the only one! Go on a nice winning streak then- BAM- losing streak. Sweep the Indians- BAM- they sweep you. It is frustrating for certain! Hopefully then can get back on the right track vs the Twinkees!

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

+1. Lets hope a day off helps them.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Does Stubbs deserve his spot back in CF after the way Heisey and Ludwick have been playing in his absence? :hm

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Yes. Stubbs is a heck of a lot better defensively.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Reds...:fp

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Might be time to rethink Chapman as closer. I sure hope he doesn't flop. Lotta money invested but the harder you throw it the further they hit it- and today's HR was creamed! Face palm fer sher!

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Yesterday: Reds win! Reds win! :banger :tu :banger :tu

Today: :td

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Latos pitches like the pitcher they traded away their entire farm system for, albeit against one of the worst hitting teams in the league. He did look good tonight though, and its a good thing Dusty didn't pick up the phone to call in his closer tonight and let him finish it out. :tu

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Reds win! Reds win! :banger :tu :banger :tu :banger

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

A needed victory, but Larry is right; the planets were misaligned and that had Brewer bats swing a few inches off thus causing them to miss the ball many times. Perhaps, Larry, the recent solar flares will re-align the pattern and the Reds will resume losing. It's freakin' cosmic!

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

+1. I wish the solar flares would quit acting up so that Cozart could actually get a hit and not strike out. Also, maybe the whole team would hit better if it weren't for the misalignment of the planets.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

I think I'd tell my batters not to swing at any pitch Chapman throws. He might just walk the ballpark until he realizes what's happening and throw some balls down the middle of the plate. Good victory, but Chapman does not inspire confidence at this point.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Reds win! Reds win! :banger :tu :banger :tu

I loved the 2 front rolls after he got the save. :) Apparently, Dusty did not and I see his point. I think Votto gets drilled tomorrow.
