Beet.

meanwhile at NCAA headquarters, planning for the sanctions stage is being finished up:

Braves 5 Cincinnati Reds 4 (11) innings.

Drake Baldwin singled in the winning run in the 11th inning as the Braves walked off the Reds for yet another gut punch loss.

The Reds (19-20) lose the series, and fall to 0-4 in extra innings and 4-7 in one run games.

Rece Hinds had smacked a tie breaking two-run 9th inning HR off Raisel Iglesias to give the Reds a 4-2 lead. But multiple defensive breakdowns by the Reds allowed the Braves to score twice and tie the game in the bottom of the 9th.

Offense: 10 H, 4 BB, 11 K
Hinds: 407-ft HR (0 & 2 3rd straight slider), 2B, BB.
Snapped 0 for 20 July 19.
Trevino: 3 2B, RBI. 9 doubles in 29 games/5 in 73 games '24.
Elly: BB. 1 EXBT, 1 RBI last 10 games. HR drought 69 plate appearances.
Lux: H. There’s not a better guy on the team at knowing what to do w/ a pitch.
Steer: Snapped 0 for 14. Killer DP w/ runners corners in 6th. Killer K 10th. 3 K.

Chances:
5th: 2nd & 3rd, 1 out. Hinds K, Friedl line out.
6th: 1st & 3rd, 1 out. Steer DP.
7th: 2nd & 3rd, 1 out. Hinds BB. Friedl game-tying RBI 1B. Loaded: McLain K. Elly K.
10th: Lux groundout moved Elly to 3rd w/ one out. Steer K. Espinal FO.
11th: Dunn bunted into out at 3rd of Ghost Runner to leadoff. Dunn caught stealing to end the inning. Colin Cowgill tossed. Reds challenged w/ obstruction at bag and lost. Tito tossed.

Back from getting absolutely killed in the bond campaign I ran this cycle. Anyways.
Wheels of this final step are in motion, and I expect my folks to mostly stay quiet at least until the hearing. There does seem to be some acceptance up north that Warde is a goner, though I would expect him to be around - and paid handsomely - to take most of the fall for the coming sanctions.
Nobody knows how the panel will rule, but nobody who knows all the details thinks they're getting off easy.
My expectations haven't changed.

One more note to our friends who may be visiting from The Fart Fort, and who have found my LinkedIn or X pages - Ask the Salsa Man (Chris Balas) what would happen if a Buckeye could produce “tracking” numbers of cases and updates of internal submissions from Dept Heads to the Office of the VP that show action was demanded re: Ono due to the impact it was having University-wide. Wonder how that would be received?
Surely, no one has that info…
Try me.

Didn't matter anyways

That's pretty clear cut blocking the bag don't know how they can say otherwise

Telling you it's the same replay office in fucking Birmingham. Obvious interference? Naaah

So bad

It’s actually pretty good this year.

Which is scary because we know it won’t last and they still suck dead whale dick.

Have they learned how to make a road straight?
Put yourself anywhere in the city - A-N-Y-W-H-E-R-E!!! Anywhere in the city, and drive in any direction. Make 4 consecutive right turns, and you'll end up in Youngstown, Ohio.

And as ORD detailed, Pittsburgh has more or less shed it's rust belt origins at this point.

I know Tito’s got the HOF rep but his use of the bullpen and the same old Reds finding ways to lose adds up to not impressing me much.
