They are soooo close to being the 3rd best team in the division! They can hang with any team... except the best three in the division. Marge Schott showed the Reds how to win. You don't just wing it with a setup guy who's throwing basically fast batting practice pitches. Gotta lock down the...

I coulda swore Santillan had more than one pitch - splitter? slider? Seems like all he throws are fastballs. His arm is dead from probably too many innings. He got the hold, while Pagan, who picked up his sorry ass, got a blown. That's bullshit.

Elly bomb! That was awesome. That guy, Matz, stood no chance. Pitchers need a big breaking ball to get Elly out and I don't remember Matz throwing anything like that.

Runners left in scoring position, 2-Out - J. Fraley Two outs with a runner on? Oh crap, Fraley's next at the plate. Might as well be 3 outs. I haven't been watching today, but it's so aggravating. Bring Hinds up, send him down and keep him down until he learns to be a professional hitter...

They're such dumb hitters. When the pitcher clearly lost his command in the 4th, fraley came to bat after he worked hard to strike out benson, then walk lux. He hasn't been throwing strikes Jake; use your head an have an eye. The pitcher was clearly exhausted, you got him on the ropes, make him...

It will be mind blowing if they win tomorrow to go 4 over .500 for the first time this season, and possibly leap back into 2nd place.

It turns out all they need is a confidence boost to get a rally going. Other team makes an error, that makes the light bulb go off, "hey if a bunch of us get on base we might actually tie this thing or go ahead." Gotta hope for the best for a 2nd Pagan inning, assuming that's the plan. It's a...

LOL, ah yes Gary Redus & Co. Doug Flynn was probably at 2nd base that year. Dan Driessen. Can't remember anybody else except Bench. That was the first year of Reds suckatude for me. Teachable moments.

I was thinking ~25 years. It went down the toilet as soon as Bob Boone started managing.

Elly cuts down Baez, yes!! 98mph lethal hard one from Elly. And fuck baez! F u baez. Hahaha

Seems safe to assume Elly will just never learn how to throw runners out at 1st. And I can't understand why he can't do it. That wasn't Dave Collins who hit that ground ball to you, El. Just set your feet and make a strong throw like every other major leaguer, minor leaguer, college, high...

The contrast when they lost Hayes to that foot injury was pretty obvious. He's expected back in a couple games, so we'll keep seeing more effective hitting going forward. If CES can hit a pitch like that out of the park, how do opposing pitchers of the future propose to pitch to him? He'll...

As an aside, if I was an on-air personality on 97.1TheFan I would be sure to know every minute detail of this case. I would know every nuance, the side cases and all the players. They broadcast to people who hate scUM, after all. Sadly, the guys who are actually there either don't know much...

I don't remember the same being true on BP in 2011.

Off the top of my head, Candelario, CES, Hays, Spiers, Lowder, Greene are all on the IL and Marte and Moll are off the IL, but missing. That is a big chunk of this $60M team that isn't playing. Edit: oops, $115M payroll - I think it was $60M in November? Nick Martinez is making $21M.

Holy shit, I didn't realize they released Miley on Sunday. Then signed him today. Looking up transactions I was reminded of two more injured players - Noelvi Marte and Sam Moll, both of which aren't on the IL any longer - guess they're still in AAA, don't know. Carson Spiers is on the 60-day...

Okay, f these a-holes - they used an opener (1.23 era) like I think the cubs did on Saturday. Now we need to bail hay against this Priester guy.

Yes, but it's Abbott vs a 4+ era guy for them. I like our chances this time. Brewers have faced pretty much our entire bullpen* without scoring a run on them, although I realize seeing Santillan for the second time in the series tomorrow could be good for the Brewers. * Except Richardson, who...

They're in the turning on, and fighting with, each other phase. Would have been the easiest Bet ever. One of the replies: "I love how Steve vlogs from his childhood bedroom." :rofl:

But like I said, the Reds would be better without so many injuries. And the cubs dodged Hunter Greene this series, but he doesn't look like his old Cy Young candidate self now anyway since coming back from the injury. And we're still waiting on the return of starters Candelario, Hayes and CES...
