Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

The call was overturned because of a stupid rule. They were right to overturn the call, but the rule itself sucks. They really need to look into revising the blocking the plate rule for next year. Last night was a perfect example of why this rule sucks and how a team is punished for a perfect throw to the plate and having the runner out at home by this new rule. Thanks, Buster Posey. At least we won for once.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Exactly, the rule sucks, but the umps in NY made the right call. I think we should go back to running the dude over if he has to block the plate.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

I can see the point in making the rule, but it needs to be modified from the way it is currently written.

I'll take the win, but it just sickens me a little bit the way it happened. It's just not baseball.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Did any of you see ex-Red Adam Dunn's pitching debut last night? No wonder he Ks all the time. He doesn't know where the strike zone is.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Yeah, I watched the YouTube video. :tu

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

It was entertaining if nothing else.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Two nights in a row the offense showed up. Wow.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Cozart hit a 3 run HR!!! Holy crap, I guess even he couldn't miss a mistake pitch.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Cueto has logged 200 more pitches than any one else in the game this year. He is on pace for 250 innings this year. With Simon already falling off, you'd think Price would start to be a little more conservative with his pitchers' arms.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Dusty Baker 2.0?

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Reds at home can't beat teams like the current red Sox, no playoffs for them this year.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Absolutely terrible.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

I understand why the on-air commentators have to try to put a positive spin on things, but when they go to the "We're only X number of games out in the wild card race" nonsense, I want to drop a shipping crate full of straws on them. Why? You know, so they literally have some to grasp at.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Turn the sound off and listen to the radio broadcast. Marty bashes this team pretty regular. :)

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Cueto is pitching like he got kicked it the head.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

:r

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Breaking News: we are on a winning streak!

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Woot! :r

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

I'm thinking this thread, like the Reds themselves, is about done for the season.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

yup on the latter for sure!

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

I gave up watching last night when the reds were losing 9 (or maybe was it 10?) to 2. Yeesh!

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

So they get rid of Simon and Latos, but no additions made yet? Only rumor going around now is for Aoki (not impressed). Looks like we will be at the bottom of the division this year for sure.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Addition by subtraction?:rolleyes:

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

We got Marlon Byrd. Whoopee.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Meh, I'll take it....

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Reds Win! Reds Win! :tu :wo :tu

On pace for 162-0 :D ;)

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Reds win! Reds win!

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Reds were idle today. :bh

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Early morning finish, regretting watching it this morning. :bh

Reds Win! Reds Win! :tu :wo :tu

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

3-0! Way to start the season with a sweep of a division team!

:banger :tu :banger :tu :banger

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Our bullpen is going to kill us if they don't do something quick. Gregg has to go, and so far Jumbo is not the same player he was last year.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Gregg is the biggest POS. Even his outs are hit hard.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

It's early, but if we had lost yesterday, the season would just about be shot for the Rojos!

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

If the Reds don't :sl the Cardinals at least two out of three, they have just asked for a bigger shovel to dig themselves out of the early hole they are already in.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

I don't really like the idea of playing all of our division the 1st month of the season...

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

5-4 and Votto is healthy and playing big boy ball.
Give it 40 or 50 games, boys. You guys have a nice club. :tu

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

I guess you haven't heard about our bullpen :na :hn

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

or starters not named Cueto!

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

This is getting brutal...

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Brian Price would perhaps say the same thing...but add 75 or so F-bombs to your statement, Dan.

I get the feeling he thinks the sports reporters work for the Reds or something, and there should be a 24/7 buddy-buddy relationship between them and the team.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

:r

C. Trent was just doing his job... reporting on the team... I guess when you have a bullpen like the Reds do, I would be frustrated all the time as well :na

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Well... that was a slugfest :)

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Hope they saved some runs for Johnny!

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Lorenzen showed some potential today. Nothing to write home about, but he could be something down the road. Once again, the pen took all hope of competition away.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

The Brewers should have been swept both series. That they weren't bodes ill for the Reds.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Maybe 2016 will be better........

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

How is that investment in Homer looking now? :bh

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

:r You secretly like Homer Bailey. You secretly like him, just like you do Brian Kelly.
