Billy Hamilton hit his first major league home run last night in the Reds' victory. Good thing he did, the scores are way too tight for consistent wins more often than not.

Brayan Pena is looking good!

Looks like the Reds are running low on healthy catchers. Does this signal the return of Corky Miller??

Not good news about Bruce...

Brian, I think we need Benito Santiago as our catcher. I loved watching him throw runners out from his knees.

They'll miss his glove in the field, but not so much his bat at the plate. Jeez does anybody chase after more low, outside curves and sliders?

Not a good rehab start for Arnoldis. I'm still wondering if they shouldn't have shopped him after the injury. :hm

hotreds 05-07-2014 09:09 PM

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 
Aroldis didn't fare well, either!

I am worried about Chapman getting torn up in AAA.

Having the injury he has is going to have an impact of the velocity that he used to throw at. I really think that there is no way he comes back as the same player. :confused:

Hmm...Chapman hit 102 mph yesterday; not quite 105, but he just got back to 'The Bigs' ya know. He even had a bit of curve/break on one or two of those bullets, not sure he knows how he manages to do that trick himself.

hotreds 05-12-2014 11:47 AM

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 
He said that his slider didn't work for him- but it sure fooled the batter! Keep throwing that lousy slider that works like a wicked curve and you'll be fine!

elderboy02 05-12-2014 12:37 PM

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 
Chapman looked great yesterday. The batter that he "walked" was really a strikeout. The FoxTrax showed it CLEARLY inside the strike zone. It wasn't even borderline.

hotreds 05-12-2014 01:03 PM

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 
I tell ya, the strike zone is crazy! Home plate umpiring leaves a great deal to be desired!

I should have quit watching last night's game much sooner than I did.

Brian D. 05-22-2014 02:02 PM

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 
They managed to squeak out a 2-1 victory yesterday. Jay Bruce is slated to cme back soon, but that won't help hit/run production unless he goes into his one-month-a-year hot streak at the plate right away.

Brian D. 05-24-2014 07:53 AM

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 
Last night's win over the dreaded Cardinals was how the Reds should be playing, consistently, if they hope to get into the post season.

Let's sse if they can go two out of three or better yet get the sweep broom out on Sunday night.

elderboy02 05-24-2014 10:50 AM

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 
I had a blast last night at the game

Brian D. 05-26-2014 05:19 AM

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 
Guess I shouldn't have mentioned their victory. That's 10 out of 11 or 11 out of 12 series against they Cardinals that the Reds have lost.

Someone should get Jay Bruce a five foot long bat to use if he's going to continue to swing at those low outside pitches game after game.

Brian D. 05-28-2014 07:17 AM

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 
I hate to pile on but holy carp the Reds are stinkin' up the stadiums right now.

elderboy02 05-29-2014 04:55 AM

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 
Finally, a win!

Brian D. 06-02-2014 11:41 AM

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 
Maybe Bryan Price reads this thread, got mad at my pessimism, and gave the roster that big shakeup to quiet me down. Then again they were playing the Diamondbacks not the Giants.

I'm really becoming a Frazier fan as of late. He and Mes seem to be the only guys who play with energy and enthusiasm. Future team leaders?

elderboy02 06-07-2014 07:01 AM

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 
I totally agree about Frazier and Mesoraco being leaders. Frazier is the "get everyone up and happy guy" and Mes could be the more serious leader...

They sure did. Lets hope we can get the sweep today! :tu

Yikes! After last night's game we need a smilie that shows a train wreck. But :fp2 will have to do.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 
My first post here and it is about my Reds.

What a brutal pitching performance last night.

Up 8 and we lose?

Seriously? Middle relief was horrific. Parra is struggling.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 
Gruesome!

We are starting to look like a team lately.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 
Okay a four game sweep is pretty dang good for the Reds this year, congrats. But....you knew there was gonna be a "But"....all the wins they've racked up this last week or so and only one game gained on the Brewers. Still a big uphill battle.

How about them Redlegs? :banger :tu :banger :tu :banger

Fixed it for you.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 
I'm okay with Jay Bruce pulling the ball to right every time he makes contact--as long as they go over the outfield wall like the last couple nights.

Weird seeing him play first base though.

elderboy02 07-09-2014 05:04 AM

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 
Awesome win last night!

Brian D. 07-14-2014 12:25 PM

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 
Nice to go into the AS break with a solid win, and a decent streak of them lately.

elderboy02 07-14-2014 12:53 PM

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 
Things are looking up! Now lets hope Bailey, Votto, and Latos can get healthy soon.

Starscream 07-15-2014 11:08 AM

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 
Frazier did us proud last night. His brother wasn't the best choice to throw to him, but he still made the final round.

Not very encouraging stuff since the All Star break.

15 innings and that's the best we can do against Arizona? Ugh.

Yeah. They were on a roll before the break. I went to the Brewers game on July 5th (the only game they lost that series). Going to the game and seeing that good run pulled me back in. The last ten games has quickly made me lose interest again.

No trades and losing 2 out of 3 to the Diamondbacks. Hey, at least they won today against the Marlins on the nice (err bad) call from the replay officials. :tu

It was a good call. Dude was blocking the plate before the outfielder even had the ball.
