Cincinnati Reds? Fans Hit Home Run in Free Pizza Deal

Cincinnati Reds? fans who love pizza are in luck this season thanks to a red-hot streak from the baseball team?s pitching squad.

Whenever the Reds strike out 11 opposing players, Reds? tickets holders for that game win a free small pizza, a roughly$6 value, from the city?s hometown favorite, LaRosa?s Pizzeria chain.

That equation is a great deal if you?re a Reds? fan, considering the team has already recorded seven of the 11-man strikeouts just one month into the season, on its way to matching the total of 14 strikeouts for the entire last season.

It?s not so great of a deal if you?re LaRosa?s, considering the family-owned chain has already handed out more than $100,000 worth of free pizzas.

?Nobody is excited about giving away free food,? said Pete Buscani, LaRosa?s executive vice president of marketing.

Cont'd ...

I see the Reds felt bad about the Nats losing 7 in a row at home so they just go in and get shelled right off the bat. Lovely

They are going to get swept.

That 8-2 homestand was pure smoke and mirrors. No good team needs that many extra inning/1 run games to beat the Marlins and Cubs.

Hell, most bad teams don't need extra innings to do it either.

Parra to the DL with a bad case of being Manny Parra.

Marshall activated.

Losing commences in 10-15 minutes.

The Teds "hitters" have made 6 outs on 18 pitches, 7 of which came in the last at bat.

Zimmerman is going to make them toss his salad sans jelly or syrup.

 

[Jaxbuck]

There goes the no hitter at least

 

[buckeyescott11]

50 pitches through five for Zimmerman..um, are you fucking kidding me?!

 

[Jaxbuck]

Nats score 1 in the bottom of the 4th.

Ballgame.

50 pitches through five for Zimmerman..um, are you fucking kidding me?!

Nuke Bailey is at 56 through 4

Brooke jacoby is the Jim Bollman of hitting coaches. You just marvel at how he long he keeps his job.

 

[Jaxbuck]

Fun stat of the night:

Jay "needle dick" Bruce has exactly 1 HR, 11 RBI, 10 BB and 34 K's so far.

If It wasn't for the Donger this might be the worst OF in baseball.

 

[Jaxbuck]

Zimmerman 66 pitches through 7.

What a shitshow
