Man, I bought extra innings this year, mainly to watch Cueto, Volquez, Votto and the other youngsters when they come up, but nights like this when I have to watch Bronson destroy the art of pitching and we have the black Karma going, I just want a refund.
Cant wait until tomorrow! Sad isnt it?
Hey, its not all bad. Junior crushed another one.

Every year the past 3 I say I won't be a sucker again, I won't pay for EI or MLB.com, everytime I think I'm out they pull me right back in.
I currently pay for EI AND MLB.tv so I can watch great games like tonight when I'm on the road....just find a set of donkey ears and pin em on me. I'm a Reds fan.

How institutionaly fuck all ignorant are you as a team when the boss has a "win or else" firing of a SR level executive earlier in the day and you proceed to come out and lay an egg like this one tonight? In caveman days our 25 man roster would have had maybe 3 guys live to their teens. They are just a bunch of dumbfucks.

Don't give up on them yet guys...The offense is starting to come around slowly and the pitching is there...
I have hope for Bronson, I think he is really pressing, and I think belisle will be better in this next start...
Harang, Cueto, Volquez give us a chance to win every night out...If the latter two give us a chance to win at least 3/4 of their starts we will be fine...
Just need these guys to start eating some innings up, or we are going to wear out the pen...

60% of the time, it works every time.
In the spirit of preserving the pen, I wonder why they just didn't let Fogg finish out the last four innings of a 9-1 game at the time he came in. He didn't do any harm in the first two innings, yet we use to more arms from the pen to close out the final two when there was more than likely no shot of coming back.

You know I think we ought to pitch Bronson "We're together again" Arroyo like three day in a row, all nine innings. By the third start his pitch count would be up to 1000 we'd lose by like 84 runs. You know what would happen you'd hear about him never getting run support. Face it Bronson you were a flash in the pan, you had one good year in a new league. Trade him to Philly get Lohse back at least I can stop seeing those stupid ass commercials.
P.S. We need a graphic for throwing a reds player under the bus.

Watched that mess last night after toiling in the yard.
Something is *wrong* with Arroyo, and I don't mean his hair cut or his lip syncing ability from his JTM commercials. He can't hit 89 with his fastball and his curveball looks like a change-up.
Probably tore up his rotator cuff on tour this winter.

How do you think Bob C feels about that $25 million he's going to pay Arroyo over the next two seasons? :chompy:

Well, I think you take the good with the bad, and you look at it in the context of how Arroyo pitched when he got that contract. Everybody knows 06 was a career year for Arroyo as he benefited from switching leagues and going back into a regular rotation. I know Grande and Welsh overplay the "lack of run support" card from last year, but that point is true. Arroyo was getting 3.5 runs a game last season, which was the worst among league pitchers and a full run under the league average ERA for starters. Can't win that way, either.Bestbuck36;1147606; said:
This year, however, there is something wrong with him. He's injured. His curve is indistinguishable from his change up, and he's lost two or three mph off his fastball, which is a huge thing for someone who couldn't throw all that hard to begin with.
In the scheme of things that give BC indigestion, I'm sure the thought of still paying Stanton and Cormier cause him to vomit a little bit. What he's paying Freel to be a pinch runner and spot starter 25 games a year probably doesn't help him sleep either.
But injuries happen, and if Arroyo is really injured, that's something you deal with.
