Reds Tidbits (2011 Season)

[jlb1705]

Bruce HR, and finally a line drive falls in for Rolen. There have been a bunch of well-hit balls that have found gloves so far.

 

[TooTall]

Don't call it a comeback? :)

 

[jlb1705]

I wouldn't have believed it until now, but it's possible that Bruce, Stubbs, Phillips & Bailey all have the best season of their careers so far and the Reds go nowhere. The lousiness on other parts of this team is that powerful.

 

[jlb1705]

If Volquez had Sam LeCure's guts, he'd be unstoppable.

Actually, if Volquez had Sam LeCure's guts he'd still be a Texas Ranger and the Reds would be "stuck" with Josh Hamilton.

Don't call it a comeback? :)

Indeed.

Jordan Smith sucks.

 

[Bucknut24]

this team sucks.

FIFY

 

[Bestbuck36]

Reds are staring down the barrel of a 9 game losing streak right about now. Ridiculous.

 

[Bucknut24]

[redzone]it's ok, streaks happen, this team is still the best in the central, Gomes needs to be given some more chances, still young, too early to panic[/redzone]

 

[Bestbuck36]

Yeah. Fuck that.

 

[Mike80]

Obviously no one wants or likes long losing streaks, but if there was a division that you could have one like this and survive, the NL Central is it....

 

[Bucknut24]

so...i say let's trade gomes and volkie for Reyes, mets will take that, right?

Yep.

They'll feel comfortable forming opinions from the limited sample size of data come September.

Baker says #Reds are "mulling" over Volquez's future in the rotation.

the fat fuck shoulda been "mulling" over this a month ago

 

[Bucknut24]

it's offical, Volkie is a jackass who deserves to be traded away

"“Everybody has to step up,” he said, “start to score some runs. In the last five games, how many runs have we scored? Like 13? That’s not the way we were playing last year. We’re better than that.”
