Reds Tidbits (2012 Season)

[Mike80]

The argument was, as I recall it at the time, not that he was going to be great but that a pitching prospect + EE was too much for an old, expensive, frail Rolen on a team with so many other holes in a mraket where prospects had so much value (right or wrong).

Aside from one brief spurt of productivity its pretty much gone down as called. Offensively EE has blossomed but he'll never be anywhere near Rolen with the glove, but then again, he is when Rolen's on the DL and that's pretty much a full time thing.

All in all I can't remember many trades recently working out well for these fucktards. Harang, Masset who else am I forgetting?

If they stand pat we still have guys like EE and Hamilton in this lineup with pretty much the same level of pitching unless I'm missing someone.

ummmm how about Hamtilon for Volequez and Danny Herrera? Or did that gem not originate at RedsZone?

Think Latos got the memo finally about pitching DOWN in the strike zone? Looks fantastic tonight but its not over just yet.

How the fuck does 1-10 in Single A ball say that you are ready to come back to the lineup?

How much of that guy's career have you followed? I thought he seemed ready after 1 game he went 0-2, but later on I found out that neither one was a K. Apparently the next 1-8 had at least 1 K, which means he is completely back to normal.

 

[Bestbuck36]

Well, I was hoping they'd accidentally call up Billy Hamilton and see what happens.


Figures he's having a decent game though. That crap happens all of the time just to justify Duhsty's BS.

Joey Votto has had a better June than Johnny Cash ever dreamed of

 

[Jaxbuck]

Rolen donning the golden sombrero but fortunately the Marlins are whipping up el viejo numero seis on the WB's.

 

[Jaxbuck]

Kind of nice to get an appearance from the Latos they traded for.

Don't be a stranger dickhead.

 

[EDDIE GGGG27]

That's the Latos I've wanted to see all year. Pure domination.

 

[Dryden]

13Ks to best his career high. LaRosas and UDF are going to be shelling out a shit-ton of free pizza slices and ice creams tonight. 35,000 has got to be a non-holiday Monday all-time record at GABP.

 

[buckeyescott11]

Hopefully this Latos shows up the rest of the season because a top two of Cueto and Latos would be HUGE.

@jluckhaupt
From @STATS_MLB, Mat Latos's 24 consecutive strikes is the longest streak by a #Reds pitcher since pitch records were kept starting in 1988.

@SBerthiaumeESPN
#Reds Mat Latos threw 1st pitch strikes to 27 of 33 batters he faced tonight in CG 4 hitter vs #Brewers

Baseball tonight bonus:

4 pitchers this season have had a CG with 13Ks+ (Latos, Cain, Dickey, Haren).
7 of Latos's 13Ks were on 3 pitch ABs.

For a franchise with names like Milton, Haynes and Anderson in its past, that is quite an accomplishment.

Heath Bell just gave up a 2R HR to Molina to tie it up 6-6 with 2 out in the 9th in Miami.

Heath Bell sucks.

Oh how I pine for the days when Paul Wilson was the staff ace.
