Reds Tidbits (2007 Season)

[Jaxbuck]

BTW in the game jerry sits back and watches Lohse fall apart. 5 straight hits, no one out bases loaded Pujols up. Relief pitcher, or even a trip to the mound? Nope.

Eh, I'd rather Lohse be out there than any of the jokers from the pen. And on that note, Lohse gets a DP ball from Pujols and flyout from Edmonds.

4-4 headed to the sixth.

Well the Cardinals found their bats...

 

[Jaxbuck]

7 of last 10 hitters get a hit and score 4 runs...still not so much as a mound visit.

I fucking loathe jerry narron.

I thought Marty said Dick Pole () went out there during the 5th inning. Could be wrong, though.

 

[CookyPuss]

Marty just said there aren't enough arms down in L'ville to replace all the guys in the bullpen that need shipped out right now. They just can't get through one damned inning without the other team scoring.

Hey, and I actually heard him just complement Dunn's LF play this year. See, Marty doesn't really hate Dunn.

 

[Fungo Squiggly]

Oh, please, please, PLEASE tell me you heard that segment, jax. Marty just said that this team's biggest problem is too many srikeouts, that the homerun is the most overrated statistic in baseball, and that he'd take a team full of Conine's and Hatteberg's over a bunch of power hitters.

 

[Jaxbuck]

WK is going to have to start answering for this mess. He's been on the job almost a year and a half now and this team is as bad as when he took over.

I didn't think any living, breathing human on this planet could come in and not be an improvement on Dan O. I'm beginning to believe I was mistaken.

Thankfully I missed that little gem. Doesn't suprise me in the least. He is just a bitter, delusional old man and his boy is just as bad.

Stand-in shines for Cards in win over Reds
Schumaker drives in two after getting surprise start in left

Associated Press

ST. LOUIS?Chris Duncan was stuck in traffic about 15 minutes before game time after getting about a dozen stitches for a cut on his head. That?s when Skip Schumaker found out he was getting a rare start.

Schumaker responded with a career-best three hits and two RBI, helping the St. Louis Cardinals rally from an early four-run deficit to beat the Cincinnati Reds 7-5 yesterday.​

[Dryden]

The one thing I left with yesterday (aside from the reassurance that the Reds bullpen still stinks) is that Hamilton has a cannon -- no question. He had a beautiful assist from RF throwing out a runner at home yesterday, and he nearly picked up another a couple of innings later on a runner slowing up at 2B expecting a stand-up double.

This is one of those little things that doesn't show up in box scores or stat sheets, but is very important in the W/L column. Hit it towards Dunn or Griffey, and if you're the batter, you're sprinting for second, if you're on first, you're sprinting for home. Hit it towards Hamilton, and it's station to station.

You can't put a value on defense like that. His presence and the mere threat of him throwing out a base runner takes runs off the board for the other team.

Wheels come off in fifth
Without his best stuff, Lohse can't hold off Cardinals
BY JOHN FAY | [email protected]

ST. LOUIS - Catcher David Ross was a bit perplexed.
Kyle Lohse was moving right through the St. Louis Cardinals lineup. He allowed one run on three hits through four innings.
Then came the fifth. The Cardinals put up five straight hits before Lohse got an out, erasing the Reds' 4-1 lead.
"They were hitting a little bit of everything," Ross said. "I don't know what happened. He wasn't throwing bad enough to go from one extreme to the other."
The sudden drop-off was another chapter in the mysterious, continuing collapse of the Reds. The Reds lost to the Cardinals 7-5 before a crowd of 42,503 on a rainy day at Busch Stadium.

It never fuckin' stops...

No Griffey even tho he has been hitting the ball well, Gonzo in the 5 hole, Phillips, in the 3 hole...

I can't stand this shit...Fire his ass already...

WK just traded Denorfria to Oakland for PTBNL's and cash. Supposed to be one more trade in the works.

Time will tell but I'm thinking WK doesn't need to be making too many trades with BB.
