Homer Bailey is pitching tonight in Louisville, so he'll be around later to give us his "expert" analysis.

Bako has a picture of footsteps in the sand in his locker
One day he asked the Catcher Witch, “Where were you when there is only one set of footprints? Those were my toughest times as a baseball player.”
And the Catcher Witch replied, “Ass, gas, or grass, nobody rides for free.”

Anybody catch Bronson singing the America song?
He broke out his inner Badroyo for that.

At first I thought it was a JTM commercial spoof
But then I realized the horror.
BRONSON ARROYO CANNOT SING. He sounds like a poor man’s Nickelback.
Phone's ringing, Dude.
I say yes
He has the highest tOPS+ against the Reds out of every team he’s played more than four games against.
yep
career vs. Reds: .340/.365/.587
overall: .278/.335/.451
11 of his 74 career HRs are against the Reds Just 7.5% of his PAs are against the Reds.

I guess you could say Nady has been the X-factor in this one.
I’ll go sit in the corner now.

you gotta give him more than one failure
I want a hamburger. No, a cheeseburger. I want a hot dog. I want a milkshake. I want potato chips...
No.
We’re all doomed. He will get crushed in his next start.
He is not extending on his pitches.

He pitched really well his first two games
And got hammered in Great American. It’s happened before.

I want a hamburger. No, a cheeseburger. I want a hot dog. I want a milkshake. I want potato chips...
it just seems like he had to get out of a lot of jams the first two starts, and he did
not so much so tonight …. could be worse though … at least its not milton
young pitchers are like good mashed potatoes
they have their lumps
I want a hamburger. No, a cheeseburger. I want a hot dog. I want a milkshake. I want potato chips...
Hey battlekow
How is it working out, batting the pitcher 8th? Are the Brewers even still doing it? Is there an appreciable difference than batting him 9th?
Ruh-roh
Did Thompson turn back into a pumpkin tonight?
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Phillips
could end up with around 40 doubles, 100 rbi, 30 hr, 30 steals and 100 runs scored. No Red has ever had a season like that before. Only been done 10 times in history. That might be something to root for in the second half.
Hope Springs Eternal! Go Reds
It's 7-5.
Check the FB app, another good response there.

I agree... Good thing SOME fans appreciate Dunn...
People Don't Kill People. Burning Couches Kill People.
am I the only one that doesn't give a fig
about the All-Star Game?
Dunn has been to as many as FeLo. Harang has been to none. Griffey is voted in this year…what’s the fun here?
...because there's already someone posing as Jacob Brumfield
Oh yeah... the All-Star game... They're still doing those?

I generally don't watch.
But Voltron should be there, which might be fun.

Thompson only had a 7.8k/9 rate in the minors
His mechanics are excellent, but the whole package simply isn’t ready yet.
FWIW, Bailey looked good tonight outside 1 inning where his mechanics got screwy. That is what happens when you overcoach and try to change a pitcher as YOU want them not what they are.
But he did rebound in the 6th for the quality start. Good thing, 7k’s, 5 hits all singles NO extra basehits.
Prediction: Thompson will finish the year in the minors and Bailey has a huge Augest in AAA and comes up to the majors to pitch in September and looks ok. Next spring with the wind & rip going from the start(as he should of the last 2 seasons) with no extra coaching, improves his offspeed pitches by throwing more strikes and wins 15 games as a 23 year old.
Kill The Dustyman... but not really... I'd get arrested

hopefully the move will pay off
and keep those nasty lefty’s out of the game

Move makes sense.. but why not move Dunn in to 1st?

And we tried it already.
It’s like moving Kearns to 3rd. It makes a lot of sense but just isn’t going to work out.
No... I think He's a rather rare cherry

I'm gonna guess strikeout, swinging, on a pitch that was way too high.

Untrue
That’s Griffey’s first strikeout since June 27.
Has Griffey’s reputation changed so much that we don’t even bother looking things up anymore before making comments like this?
We need baserunners for Dunn.
Get on base, BP.

I was listening to XM this morning and they were talking about the scouts watching Weathers last night.
They openely remarked how it was not Weathers’ fault that he gave up the runs. It was because he had bad defense behind him. I can only imagine they were talking about Griffey.
Seriously, what was Griffey supposed to do on a line drive in a tied game with the go-ahead run on base? If he pulls up and takes the ball on the bounce, he gets criticized.
Some guy named Bautista just went yard off of Billy

crolfer, one of the d-bags on the Reds board just made a comment about EdE
which means it’s time for him to prove somebody wrong.

Yeah.
I can’t stand how much grief EdE gets in this town.

At least "Your Little Hoodrat Friend" by the Hold Steady is playing on iTunes
If there’s a better song…. it’s “Stevie Nix.” But “Hoodrat” is excellent too.
“We used to drink beneath this railroad bridge. Some night’s the bus wouldn’t even stop, there was just too many kids!” [bitchin’ guitar slide]
Best band in America, I say!
Just saw them Sunday in Brooklyn for for fifth time. Nearlly brought me to tears. Even though their new album is nowhere close to touching Boys and Girls in America.

Fantasy update - I hate Ned Yost
He just went out and yanked Seth McClung with 1 out in th 5th. And they replce him with another hard-throwing right hander. McClung has given up 2 runs, albeit on 8 hits, but struck out 6. With the D-backs down 2-1, that kills my quality start and means that McClung can only get me a loss. Fucker.
Russell Branyan has 11 home runs this year. And 18 rbis. In 89 at-bats. Unbelievable.
Talismanic mojo is a two way street
Megan Fox was supposed to help the Reds win. Instead, the Reds suckiness has caused her to break off her engagement. Although considering she was engaged to Brian Austin Green (yes, really), this probably goes down in Megan’s win column.
