Reds Tidbits (2011 Season)

Sam, do you hear that? That is the Reds scheduling your trip to Louisville.

He did just hit a double. Before they ship him out they should have him take some grounders at SS.

Brantley: "Lecure bends, but doesn't break....giving up 2 runs here in the third...."

Jeff, you ignorant slut. He gave up two runs. I consider that breaking.

At least he didn't go all Arroyo-in-Toronto on us... yet.

this is where damage needs to be done, some one has to come up big before/after votto in these situations, bruce failed, hopefully bp can continue streak

Teams should just walk Votto everytime (they are close to doing it now).

Asking Stubbs to sacrifice was dumb dumb dumb. I'm sure LeCure is going to be able to make that one run Dusty was playing for hold up.

EDIT: I guess he wasn't asked to bunt, but I heard them on the radio talking about him trying to hit it to the right side to advance the runner, which is just the same in my book since it changes his approach.

 

[scott91575]

Good start. Now here comes the game tying 2 run homer.

 

[scott91575]

Whew, that was a horrible hanger. Luckily it hung up really high.

 

[scott91575]

This is going to get really, really ugly.

Somebody on RZ just said that the Brewers have only swung and missed ONCE all day. I know LeCure doesn't miss bats, but that's ridiculous. The Reds are lucky to be leading under these circumstances, and they might need to bat around again just to tread water.

Please call up Fred Lewis and sit down Gomes's worthless ass. Swings at a ball in the dirt and watches a ball right down the pipe.

I looked it up. Betancourt is the only Brewer to swing and miss. He ended up getting a hit that at bat.

LeCure simply does not have major league stuff.

 

[scott91575]

That was a quality start. Ugh. I can't wait until LeCure is gone.

 

[jlb1705]

Fucking hell. They're using a damn LOOGY in the 5th inning.

 

[scott91575]

All even up. Bad pitching, bad fielding, and bad clutch hitting.

 

[jlb1705]

Nice double switch, Dusty.
