Reds Tidbits (2011 Season)

[TooTall]

So I guess I need to find a way to be asleep for all of the 7 o'clock games... Maybe that's our good luck charm, me being a lazy ass!

HOU put in one pitcher too many. You can't put that many bad pitchers into a game and expect the odds to not catch up to you eventually - even against these fucking bums.

Brandon Lyon, 3 BS in a row, everyone except Brad Mills knew that if he came in the game, Reds would win

How do you give the ball to a "closer" whose ERA is above 7?!

3 of the Houston pitchers today had ERA's over 7. Seemed to be working until then.

 

[Fungo Squiggly]

Damn you, ink and toner salesman for making me the winning hit!

Never turned it off. Just resolved not to post about it so I wouldn't jinx it. :tongue2:

Oops! I guess I meant brody. :!

It's as if Mills put all of his chips on 13-black and decided to let it ride after somehow winning twice in a row.

Fair point, but I didn't agree with Mills sending in the parade of shit pitchers either. Like jlb said, can't trot out piece of shit after piece of shit out there and not expect to give up the game.

Besides, people in Houston have been clamoring for a closer change; Melancon is probably the most suited to take over the role. Whatever happens, though, the bullpen is atrocious, having converted only 4/12 save opportunities and Lyon accounting for 4 BS all by his lonesome...

Some scoreboard watching:

Rut-roh... The Brewers had a doubleheader vs. ATL today. They dropped the first one. Greinke made his MIL debut in the second game and promptly got shelled - 5 runs in just 4 innings.

Meanwhile the Whiny Bitches are losing to the Marlins. The Marlins have been pretty good so far this year. They can't keep that up, can they?

 

[jlb1705]

Reds win.
Whiny Bitches lose.
Brewers lose twice.

All in all, not a bad day.

 

[Bucknut24]

sure would be nice if they could win back to back games

 

[Fungo Squiggly]

A 1-2-3 first inning? Shit, I must have it on the wrong radio station.

 

[scott91575]

Stupid squeeze. Myers didn't care if he walked Janish because the pitcher is up next. So you can't make the assumption he was going to throw a strike on a 2-1 count.

 

[Bucknut24]

damn, thought that was gone from janish

I hope I don't jinx it, but Bailey looks really good. His velocity is good, and he has lots of movement on all his pitches. He is also getting ahead of the majority of hitters. I hope he can keep this up.
