i havent given up on belisle
Marty may have a shirt on, but Billy Beane just ripped his off and is squeezing his nipples. - Brendan's ukkah
Belisle in the pen
I think he is an adequate starting pitcher on a bad team. his place on a good team is in the pen.
definitely
Thompson, LeClure are also on the radar....albeit nowhere near EV, Homer and Cueto.
Enjoy this gang, this is a first for me as a Reds fan. PITCHING PROSPECTS!~!~!
you guys know
memphis state is in the championship game?
yeah
they ran the metro conference this year

I don't like
this newer, more aggressive Votto
Less called strike 3's, more swinging strike 3's at pitches way out of the zone!!!!

trade value
surprised all the sabermetrics on here havent been calling for him to hit leadoff.

his career .305 on-base doesn't really lend itself to that
Marty may have a shirt on, but Billy Beane just ripped his off and is squeezing his nipples. - Brendan's ukkah
If he can't get the bunt down
You have to get him out of there. Get somebody in there who can.

whaddaya know, he got the bunt down.
guess he must be clutch. Does volquez play 3rd base?

hey, volquez got a haircut

GREAT point re: Felix should have let that bunt roll foul. Most passive fans of the game wouldnt have noticed that, and THAT is why i absolutely think Welsh is an asset to the Reds broadcast team.
patterson!
this guy is fucking awesome. i dont know what all you sabermetrics have been screaming about
Marty may have a shirt on, but Billy Beane just ripped his off and is squeezing his nipples. - Brendan's ukkah

are we seeing BP v 2.0?
maybe, just maybe, Patterson is going to take one step up the development ladder.
Did he just say a hitter the caliber of corey patterson?
What does that mean... hes a sarcastic ass.

He means barrel diameter.

7 K's for the Wagon
I'm excited about watching the season long game of "Anything You Can Do, I Can Do Better" between him and Cueto.
Especially if they start singing that song.

How do we feel about volquez and pitch count?
at this point (87)
Everybody's a jerk. You. Me. This jerk.
Volquez leads off
So, do a double switch now and get that Dunn bumm out too!
The season doesn't start until the Cincinnati Reds take the field! Reclaim The Opener!!
fastball inside please

keep him in
Marty may have a shirt on, but Billy Beane just ripped his off and is squeezing his nipples. - Brendan's ukkah
Why wasn't Howard bunting there
the Phillies are not winning anything if they can't play small ball, i.e. "smart" ball
I've got a plan and it's as hot as my pants...
well, give us some help affeldt
hell of a game edinson
Marty may have a shirt on, but Billy Beane just ripped his off and is squeezing his nipples. - Brendan's ukkah
I don't mind this
I'd like to see him finish the inning, but this is a big spot, and Jenkins struggles badly against LHP.
"Karma - there it was. The meaning of life, straight from Carson Daly's lips to my morphine-laced ears." -Earl Hickey
Also a good sign from Dusty
He won't leave a young pitcher in just to leave him in.
Great performance, Voltron!
affeldt
really?
there's nobody else out there?
really?

Marty may have a shirt on, but Billy Beane just ripped his off and is squeezing his nipples. - Brendan's ukkah
Jenkins career vs. LHP
.242/.313/.408
Affeldt is the right call here, especially since Mercker pitched last night.
"Karma - there it was. The meaning of life, straight from Carson Daly's lips to my morphine-laced ears." -Earl Hickey
ovation was nice
not quite like hamilton's but cincy knows a good debut when they see one.
Seems like EV was decent
So far Dusty has been responsbile and there havne't been any out of hand pitch counts. I think Harangs 108 was the highest. It is only a week though.
The Dusty Path to the World Series!*
*Note this is not an endorsment of Dusty Baker.
yeah, he was decent
Marty may have a shirt on, but Billy Beane just ripped his off and is squeezing his nipples. - Brendan's ukkah
Big moment for Affeldt
He gets out of this jam for EV and he gains lots of points among Reds fans. He gives up runs here and he may get run out of town on a rail.
The season doesn't start until the Cincinnati Reds take the field! Reclaim The Opener!!
shit joey
alright, one more

wow, this is some narron-esque overmanaging
Marty may have a shirt on, but Billy Beane just ripped his off and is squeezing his nipples. - Brendan's ukkah
although i like it
get jenkins with a lefty, then go to burton for the next 4 batters
Marty may have a shirt on, but Billy Beane just ripped his off and is squeezing his nipples. - Brendan's ukkah
Yeah
You can't expect him to know that Burton's cutter actually gives him reverse platoon splits. He's only the fucking manager.
"Karma - there it was. The meaning of life, straight from Carson Daly's lips to my morphine-laced ears." -Earl Hickey
OK... is it cute having the kid in the booth
Or is it annoying? And I ask this as a parent of youngsters.

annoying
Marty may have a shirt on, but Billy Beane just ripped his off and is squeezing his nipples. - Brendan's ukkah
2 balls, 2 strikes, 2 outs...
... runners take their leads... and the pitch - Goddammit Luke! Don't punch grandpa there!!!
The season doesn't start until the Cincinnati Reds take the field! Reclaim The Opener!!
hes played one year
id still take righty/righty any day
I wasn't venting about Burton coming in.
I just think it was stupid to waste Affeldt for one batter when Burton absolutely murders lefties. It's not a big deal, but it's something Dusty should know. One of my big frustrations with Narron was that he didn't play matchups, he just made sure that his pitcher threw with the same hand that the batter hit with, without regard to the individuals involved. Doesn't look like Dusty's going to do any better.
"Karma - there it was. The meaning of life, straight from Carson Daly's lips to my morphine-laced ears." -Earl Hickey
in dusty's defense
Two lefties on the Snakes tattoed Burton's fastball a few days ago. or was that friday? i'm losing my mind.
I've got a plan and it's as hot as my pants...
And, in that situation, it's doubly stupid
because now you have to pinch hit after you burned Burton for 1 AB against a career .252/.288/.432 hitter. Again, not a huge deal, just a big pet peeve of mine.
"Karma - there it was. The meaning of life, straight from Carson Daly's lips to my morphine-laced ears." -Earl Hickey
i didnt know that about burton
although he does tend to walk righties a lot less, for some reason. the ops is only a 34-point difference, though.

Sam Elliott: best voice in history of acting or best voice ever?

does Elvis count?
Elliott is tough to beat but I'd give the nod to Orson Welles.

2 out of 3
The Reds are on the cusp of winning their 2nd series of the season. And defending the castle.
.667 sounds nice, even one week into the season.
it's a 4-game series, actch

Edwin
needs to stay back. It seems like when he's locked in he almost hits the ball out of the catchers mitt. So when you start to see him get some catcher interference calls you'll know he's locked in.
