Reds Tidbits (2012 Season)

Gets the complete game, but if that game was at GABP he gives up about 4 home runs. He would be a super star in San Diego or San Fran.


I shudder to think what the SF fans would come up with to give Leake his own version of the Melkmen.

The unadulterated dumbassness of this team on full display right there.

Bruce, the guy who was 5 for his last 5 AB's and has 17 HR's on the season, bunts his way on and takes second on a throwing error. Bruce bunting in the 2nd inning is bad enough but sometimes stupid fucking decisions work out well.

1 pitch later the mail room boy gets his Dustydumb ass in a rundown on a comebacker to the pitcher.

Dumbest team in baseball.

Not sure how you can call the bunt by Bruce dumb. They are essentially giving him a base hit, so why not take it? He is now 6 for his last 6. The base running play was dumb and is something that little leaguers know not to do. It cost us a run.

Total breakdown by Zito as he walks three straight, including the 8th place batter Hanigan, to walk in a run and give the Reds a 1-0 lead.

Because he's capable of acquiring a hell of a lot more total bases than 1 given his hitting ability.

Good power hitter bunting = doing opponent a favor.

It's dumb
