Strange...

Your comment regarding having a closer moved down too. Really weird.

Probably has something to do with the auto-update feature.

At least it wasn't Grady Little.

First

Marty should retire

He just doesn't seem to enjoy calling the actual game anymore. The past year of listening to him has been depressing because I loved listening to him growing up.

Apparently He's Pissed

At an email about their ump-criticism. Bleah.

by Senor Pez on Apr 3, 2008 3:13 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

A high school umpire sent him an email calling him a "homer"

and Marty and Thom picked him apart.

It was the most exctied and zealous Marty sounded all day. Seriously.

by Fat Vegas Alan on Apr 3, 2008 3:13 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Just everything

...except for the action on the field. Now, I understand the baseball season is long and he's on the air a lot, but this is the bottom of the 8th of a 3-2 game. I want to hear every fuc$ing pitch! Not these silly little conversations between father and son.

Do They Play...

... the "Click Click Boom" schtick for Coco in Cincinnati?

It's a great song. It was just annoying since it was Miller Park, full of Brewers fans. Other than that, cool.

The word for Cueto's performance

is bravura.

Plus ca change...

by Man Mountain on Apr 3, 2008 3:23 PM EDT   0 recs

1 hit, 2 ER, 12Ks

Not a bad day for our pitchers. Take out Weathers' three walks and 1 ER, even better. Nice.

by Ash on Apr 3, 2008 3:23 PM EDT   0 recs

What will be really interesting...

Will be if Johnny Quest faces the D'Backs again. I wonder if they just had a "Cincinnati Reds vs. unknown rookie starter"-type game.

At least it wasn't Grady Little.

I may do a shot of tequila!!!

Kudos Johnny and Koko. Reds are 2-1, .667 winning percentage. STATS!

So what's the IP cap on Cueto this year?

180? He threw about 160 last year.

by ken on Apr 3, 2008 3:27 PM EDT   0 recs

Answer:

E) None of the above. Our manager is Dusty Baker.

At least it wasn't Grady Little.

by Paul Householder on Apr 3, 2008 3:28 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Question is, which comes first,

150 IP or blown out elbow, courtesy of Dusty?

As long as there are history tests, there'll be prayer in school.

by Lee_May on Apr 3, 2008 3:44 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

if Cueto stays around 90-95 pitches every start like he did today

I would have no quelms. He has excellent command so he can keep his pitch count down. With a real closer and my predictions about Weathers and Burotn are wrong, he would only need to pitch 5-7 ininnings/per unlike last year when the only time we felt good about a game was if the starter handed the ball straight to Weathers.

I think the organization will keep tabs on Cueto and Bailey (if nessacary) so I am guessing if he finds his ceiling he will be removed from the rotation. Hopefully Bailey and Maloney can pick it up, or Belisle can be passable so these guys can get time off in August.

For realz

The Reds have got to get a catcher who could be mistaken for a major league hitter. That game had no business being that close.

I find myself...

Missing Jason LaRue right now. At least he was good for a home run every now and then on his way to his usual .225-.235 season.

At least it wasn't Grady Little.

I no longer miss him.

I saw a jersey where the bottome of the R was scratched off...

LaPUE

I was surprised I had never seen that before. What's worse is that I saw it on opening day... THIS YEAR! Who, in their right mind, is still wearing a LaRue Jersey to reds games?

suggestions, anyone?

by BobbyO on Apr 3, 2008 10:56 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Why don't they do the Star of the Game anymore?

I listened to that half-hour of post-game commercials to hear Johnny Cueto through an interpreter and they didn't give it to us.

Marty's postgame analysis:

"Well, a win is a win is a win."

What the fuck are you fucking talking about old man!?!?!

He just called what could justifiably be described as the franchise's most exciting game since the Clinton administration and he fucking ho-hums it?

by Fat Vegas Alan on Apr 3, 2008 3:52 PM EDT   1 recs

I think he is REALLY bothered by the 10 LOB.

And while it was frustrating, 10 LOB is hardly an excessive amount. Teams average 7-8 per game over a season. Frankly, I'd rather have 10 LOB than the 2 LOB that the Dbacks had today. At least it meant they were getting men on base.

WHY SHOULD I CHANGE IT? HE'S THE ONE WHO SUCKS!
