Johnny Cueto is so good.
Sooooooooo goood…. But Dusty, really? Take him out of the batters box if you’re taking him out of the game.
I think he 'figured' if he is goin t bunt why waste a position player, when there re so few
available. Perhaps?
I actually supported keeping him in there to bunt.
I was not expecting him to be quite so wretched at it.

9 spot is going to come up one more time in the game, likely.
There’s no waste, and maybe no necessity to bunt. Leaves your other bench player to hit later. I dunno, doesn’t really matter at this point.

Why does George insist on loving the silliness
that is smallball? All dude ever talks about is bunting and stealing. Was he an original fan of the dead ball era?
He just said the stolen base by Ludwig enabled him to score. The STOLEN BASE. With two outs and a ball that went to the wall? If he DIDN’T scare from first, he’d better be hurt. So, George, take your 1916 understanding of baseball and stuff it up Christy Mathewson’s bum
Thankfully, I'm pretentious enough to quote myself from last season

picked off Nick Swisher at 3B tonight. You don’t see runners picked off 3B very often. Swisher seemed totally shocked they would even try.

Sabathia pitched a gem tonight, BTW. Complete game shutout.

Looks as though the bottom of the order has been doing OK so far this game

Rosales is gonna be back in AAA soon, right?
I mean, having some success, but not MLB-caliber success. What do you guys think?
Yeah, when Edwin gets back he's back in AAA
He’s not producing at the level he needs to be to stick around, or at least to play everyday.

He’s not even playing any rehab games yet.

Nope
It won’t happen soon, and there really isn’t anyone there right now to replace him right now this second. Sutton or Wilkin, but I’m thinking we’ll see one of them when Gonzo gets DLed.

Really needs to go down to AAA
Or get traded. Laynce is a much better LF from the left side of the plate.

Yeah they said he needed work to be ready for THIS series.
Then Dusty used him the next game and tonight.
He didn't?
I thought he pitched the 8th of that game, for some reason.

Just what our overtaxed bullpen needed...
After the starter goes seven innings, we still blow through four relievers.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
They still came in...
for no good reason.
It should have just been Burton all along.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
Yeah I know
Just saying, it’s not the worst thing in the world – could have been much, much worse after Weathers started pitching slow pitch softball.
It wouldn't have mattered too much...
but this bullpen is drained.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
ahhhhh good old Stormy
hopefully Coco is on
Please tell me Albert isn’t coming up

Jannish looked pretty comfortable in that last AB
Although he allowed himself to be suckered on the ground out pitch – he looking more relaxed
C-Dick look too relaxed…can’t belive that he wasn’t more aggressive…

Man, Hanigan has a canon
He bounces around behind the plate before the ball get there, and he releases the ball faster than I’ve seen anyone do it in a long time.
Yeah, that's why I really enjoy watching him behind the plate.
He can gun down runners, that’s for sure.

Cubs lead 2-1 in the 8th.
"Nobody's going to die just because they can't find their little yellow basket."
Nice game for the fill-ins
AGAIN. How insane is it going to be when Gonzalez returns and we have another automatic out in the lineup again.
Janish really may have turned a corner...
he’s not looking overmatched at the plate this year.
Gonzalez, on the other hand, hasn’t looked so great. But can he play third?
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
gonzalez has looked overmatched for three years.
How maddening would it be if Gonzalez played third instead of EdE? He cannot be off this team soon enough.
. . . and we all know that as soon as he’s off the team, Walt will sign some other worthless albatross (like someone the Pirates would grab).
Oh, certainly not instead of EdE...
but now that I think about it, there would definitely be the danger of a mediocre Gonzalez edging out EdE there. Yuck.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
That might be ideal. Gonzalez might be able to play 3rd for awhile and fil in there. I remember
when Tony Fernandez did that for the Reds, and was serviceable. I think defensively he has to be above Rosales.
How about Hernanadez play 3rd
Votto !B
Nix LF
HaniganMan C
thats what I would like to to see..
I want to be there when a trailer full of coffins slams into a an ambulance full of terminally ill Bolivians. Or when the Reds win a WS..whichever comes first....
I am amazed how well Hernandez has played at 1st.
But the idea of Ramon lumbering around at 3rd makes me a lil’ nervous.
Let's take it a step further and play him at short
People Don't Kill People. Burning Couches Kill People.
I haven't seen much of the last two nights (including tonight)
How has Ramon’s defense been? Any better than Votto’s?
I haven't seen him either
But it sounds like he’s saved his teammates several errors by making difficult catches.
Catcher is the toughest position on the defensive spectrum, while first baseman is the easiest. Most catchers seem to handle 1B pretty well.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
He has made some nice stretches on throws and one leaping catch of linedrive.
Made every play he should of made. I would not say he is better than Votto.
I don't get this.
I haven’t watched many games before this season, but Votto has been solid at first this year.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
I thought Votto was doing well with the glove, too
Though my favorite defensive stat has him below average.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
94
Where 100 is average.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
We he has a good glove and an accurate arm
If Jannish were next to him it could work.

That's Well he has a good glove etc.
I want to be there when a trailer full of coffins slams into a an ambulance full of terminally ill Bolivians. Or when the Reds win a WS..whichever comes first....
I agree, he look as comfortable at the plate that last AB as I've seen him
C-Dick on the other hand looks lost at sea.
I want to be there when a trailer full of coffins slams into a an ambulance full of terminally ill Bolivians. Or when the Reds win a WS..whichever comes first....
All I know is that our "4th" starter is a helluva pitcher.
great game for the Reds, despite some horrible bullpen management.
