Reds Tidbits (2012 Season)

BTW I do not like the time honored baseball tradition of using the closer in the 9th of a tie game at home.

Especially when your offense contains names like Bruce, Stubbs, and Luhsey.

I never said it was a good feeling. How can a major league ballplayer go in a slump this fucking bad? :!

Virtually every team has a good player go through something similar to what Bruce is going through.

I tried in vain to listen to the TV broadcast - good God the Reds announcers suck.

During the at-bat where Bruce ended up rolling over into a double play, you would have thought that he had been hitting .400 and leading the league in homers before this slump despite what we all know has been going on. And then when he rolled over on the pitch, whoever the moron doing the play by play couldn't hide his disgust. MAYBE if he and his broadcast buddy hadn't spent the previous 3 minutes blowing smoke up everyone's ass about how good/bad Bruce had been doing previous that at-bat and given a more steady and/or unbiased approach, maybe, just maybe, he could have actually given us something more than whatever he said (I think he said something like Unbelievable - he didn't even describe the actual play)....

I've said it before, but I swear the Reds announcers are required by contract to say something positive or something that is slightly beyond reality about every Reds player either in the field our when they are pitching/batting. It's unnerving.

Great win by the Reds, but damn do they need another couple of decent hitters. Costanzo makes Freel, Gomes, Nix, etc. look like Ted Williams.

You don't have to watch Reds games on FSOhio to figure out that Thom "If you spend 10 minutes with Tim Tebow it will make you a better person" Brennaman is prone to hyperbole. :lol:

BN27 mentioned earlier how fickle Reds fans are such as when there were five pages of bitching about the team in this thread during a game in the Bronx in which the Reds never even trailed. I feel the same way about the Reds announcers. I have issues with some of the things they say, but JHC virtually every single play-by-play man that Cincinnati has employed for at least the last 40 years is a Hall of Fame broadcaster (Marty, Thom, George Grande, and Al Michaels). Chris Welsh is no Mark Grace, but I think he's generally above average. FSOhio's broadcasts are way, way above the norm for a regional feed in this regard.
