Janish might get another chance to lower his ERA!
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Welsh, Harang hasn't disappeared for 6 weeks
The Reds are 4-4 since his last start. It’s just coincidental that he hasn’t gotten the win in any of those games.

I tried putting up a new thread
It was incredibly uninspired. I just feel numbness from this team right now. Thank god for the All-Star break.
When is it going to be enough for Willy Taveras?
If he plays a single game for this team next year, I’m out until the Reds are under new management. I can’t invest my time in this bullshit if this is the best the team can muster for 2 years in CF.

But for 2 years?
And at this level of shittiness offensively and defensively. I don’t care what his UZR says, he’s been shit in the outfield.

What's your point?
He sucks. He runs bad routes, compensated with speed and now that his speed is failing him – as a function of SBs and fly ball plays – he really, really, really sucks.

My point is that it's easy to jump on a guy hitting 200
Nobody was criticizing him or the signing when he was hitting 300 and playing, in my opinion, good defense. If you really thought he was poor defensively back then, good for you. I just sense revisionist history.
As we discussed earlier
He was taking bad breaks, but generally able to run things down at that point. He has lost a bit of that speed now, but he continues to have horrible reads.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
I don't see your point.
I don’t want him on the team, both because Dusty will start and him and because he will play.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
What I just can't get my head around
Is that two of our most MLB ready prospects play cf (not to mention c-dick) and they’re going to keep running him out there. It’s really unfathomable
Isn't there a slanket somewhere you should be filling with your farts?
All that seems to be required is that he hit a single every 2 games
Fuck you Walt. Fuck you to hell

I am, actually.
This week, I’m getting my ass kicked because Guerrero and Hunter just went back on the DL.
I’ll drop out of first after this week due to bad hitting and my opponent’s pitchers going nuts (he started Arroyo in his CGSO).. but my overall record is 72-38-10 right now :)
Yeah he did
Way to hustle out there dusty
Isn't there a slanket somewhere you should be filling with your farts?
That ump is crap
he baited Votto.

WTF?
EE almost gets tossed yesterday, now Votto is tossed. Why don’t the coaches intervene faster?

Dusty has never been particularly fast to leave the dugout
For a player’s manager, he rarely protects them during games.

The bench coach? Heck, a teammate.

Joey said something and then walked away
The ump followed him and was yelling at him.
Of course, the Reds had plenty of time to get a coach out to Votto. I’d like see Votto throw Dusty under the bus, “That’s just a mental mistake by Dusty. He needs to be backing me up on that play.”

what is up with the umps vs the Reds lately
That certainly wasn’t over arguing by Joey
Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight, he'll just kill you.
i thought he was out there too long
can’t argue balls and strikes calls very long.
"I piss excellence"
I wonder if he would have kept arguing if the ump had just let it go
"It seems like we're not hitting because we're not getting hits." - Dusty being Dusty
he was walking away and the ump said something that stopped him
and turned him around. After that it was see you later
Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight, he'll just kill you.
you can't argue balls and strikes
I think the umpire was actually pretty patient. He told Joey to get in the dugout repeatedly, and gave Dusty plenty of time to intervene. A lot them will toss a player as soon as they say one word about whether it was a ball or strike. Joey kept arguing, and nobody came out to drag him away until it was too late.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Moreover, that was a ball.
I think the first-inning pitch caught the plate, but that one didn’t.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
I think vottos argument was the inconsistency
Pelfreys been throwing that inside pitch all day and it gets called a strike about half the time
Isn't there a slanket somewhere you should be filling with your farts?
Also, love how the mets announcers said
“that looked like a strike” then they showed an aerial replay showing it was clearly inside and they said, “well, close enough”
That’s some quality analysis right there
Isn't there a slanket somewhere you should be filling with your farts?
Thanks Dusty, you're really a great source of motivation

Phillips is acting like an asshole
Not running out balls and throwing his bat every time he gets out.
I think we’re witnessing an epic meltdown. These two series are when this team jumps the shark. Enjoy the foibles, Reds fans.

it was pretty obvious that votto is our team leader, but this has cemented it for me …. dusty has had many opportunities to get run and fire up the team on this home trip … votto took it into his own hands …i just hope it works.
dusty had better put hannigan in to catch with ramon at 1B

Well.. I turned the game on MLB.tv to watch the ejection.
Votto was obviously baited, that umpire has a fine coming.
yeah right
there are never any consequences for shitty umpiring
the only thing I can ever remember happening to a ref in sports is when the NBA ref got suspended for his clear bias against Tim Duncan.
I thought for sure Hell had frozen over
Made from 100% Recycled Awesome,
I don't think he was baited
He may have been walking away, but he was yelling something while he was walking. And I bet it wasn’t “So, where was that one?”

This team is really killing me
Walt and Company needs to really take a long hard look at things during the break.
Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight, he'll just kill you.
And why the hell can't the Reds pitchers
ever throw inside with some authority?
Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight, he'll just kill you.
I really don't get the "blockbuster trade" BS.
This can be a .500-level team this year with a few changes:
(1) Dump Willy, and go to an outfield of Nix/Gomes/Dickerson/Hairston/Heisey (or Stubbs)
(2) Go after a SS
(3) Either get rid of Dusty, or remove from him responsibility for the lineups and bullpen management.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
do we not have a SS
in either double or triple A that is a decent prospect?

Good thing Rosales is in at first.

a couple of innings ago. But the umpire told him, “That’s enough,” and he went into the dugout and shut up. So yeah, I guess they got the point.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
yeah
The umpire gave him a look. Didn’t take off his mask, though, and EE shut up and sat down.

I know I would be tossed every game
for arguing, but also, probably, because I violate some major league basbebal regulation by being a woman lol
dang it.. Even though they scored 3
it was another wasted opportunity
Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight, he'll just kill you.
If you've ever seen the moviefilms "Ed,"
you know there ’ain’t no rule that says a chimp can’t play ball.’ Probably the same for a woman.
He sits alone...Reds are not home.
I'm not sure how to respond to that but it would be an awesome line
if a woman said “if there ain’t no reason a chimp can’t play ball, there ain’t no reason a skirt can’t either”.
Holy crap
Just checked in to see how bad we lost and we’re still agonizingly in it. Damn David Weathers
...via force out
I had an inkling. Still, nice battle by Hairston.

At least I didn’t have to watch that rat bastard twirl around on the mound in his very sincere, ‘everybody look at me giving thanks to god!’ schtick.

It's the Reds,
you should never expect decent hitting to coincide with decent pitching. That’s for them big market clubs.
but he had 3 hits

ugh better fix the pitching
last 8 games the Reds have given up:
10, 22, 3, 3, 9, 0, 4, and 9.
Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight, he'll just kill you.
Glad to have missed this game.
Unless some major changes occur this team will slide right into a 79 win year.
Any new word on Jay?
Pitching has been iffy recently (Caleb duly noted)Appears that Harang was hit hard again…and Davey weathers giving up the long ball..still scored 7 runs with Votto tossed ain’t bad.
Come on Walt do something.

is to somehow jettison Arroyo before we start paying him next year’s salary.

not Arroyo

Something needs to be done in the OF
Even if it’s just getting the gears in motion for next year. With Jay Bruce out and now Dickerson potentially, we’re looking at a double-AA production.
Weathers is probably overworked and should probably be phased out as the 8th inning guy – or, as a reflection of what that role should be, 2nd-best reliever.
For all the late hitting, there’s no real reliable HR guy now that Bruce is out so the chain of singles makes for an inefficient way to get back in games. It’s clear from his struggles that Bruce needs a power bat to complement him in the OF. He also needs to be replaced now so that the team doesn’t get into Pirates territory, yielding total apathy from the fans. So go get a bat before the deadline and see what Gomes can do fulltime. Nix is back to his career averages.
And Cozart/Valaika aren’t going to cut it at SS next year. I love Janish, but we’re learning he’s exactly what he projects to be – a defensive replacement.

The core:
Votto
Phillips
Bruce
Hanigan
Gomes(?)
Harang
Volquez
Cueto
Bailey
Masset
Roenicke
Cordero (hesitant to put him here, but I think he stays next year)
Everyone else should be up for grabs if they can get someone with a bat in return

Just caught a little of Votto's ejection
When I saw the fan reaction jwhen he was tossed, every neuron fired with rage. They acted like Manny Ramirez was getting tossed. I know they were glad our best hitter was out, but, I don’t care. I’m so mad right now but I can’t yell at the TV. My dog gets upset. It’s weird to have to pretend to be happy for my dog!
Maybe Votto will really lay into some of these pitchers and catchers now. Pete Rose time! I know he is generally viewed in the press as the polite Canadian but even Canucks can get mad. Kiefer Sutherland is a pime exaple. No headbutts please Joey! I am really upset about the end of his hit streak through. He’ll get a hit in every game after he comes back and break DiMaggio’s record. It’s about time another ndividual of Italian descent hold that!
it's new york
most things are over reacted to there. But we do the same stuff at GABP
Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight, he'll just kill you.
you're right
but I’m just PO’d and bummed out so I need a scapegoat. While I’m at it, that ump iks a jerk and a pig
I could really see Harang being traded in the next two weeks
and while I still don’t favor the move, maybe it would be for the best. He’s got to be beyond exasperated playing for this team and I don’t see his trade value getting much higher.

kind of like when casey went we were all just glad he might have a chance to actually succeed
"I never use a big word when a diminutive one will work." — Pete Mackanin.
I was just glad we could finally get someone in there who could score from 2nd on a single.
He sits alone...Reds are not home.
I know Adam Rosales kind of stinks
buyt I love him and glad he’s back. At least when this team really starts to crater he’ll be out there with his absurd socks. Maybe he will get to start on Lady’s Night after all! (if I think about the negatives of this game I might have to get the hooch).
Before I forget, Hal McCoy said he was shocked by Votto’s ejection and described his fight with the ump as “yelping”. Didn’t look like that to me lol:
http://www.daytondailynews.com/o/content/shared-gen/blogs/dayton/cincinnatireds/
It’s a shame Votto got tossed and so frustrated, but I could see it coming. Anyone who saw last night’s game could have. He was boiling over then and just barely held it in. We’ve all felt like that or seen people like that and know they are going to go off. If you care, you get PO’d. It’s too bad it had to happen in this game. I’m pretty sure Votto won’t do it again, but I like to see fight in people.
I would say it's a pretty accurate description
He was mad as hell and couldn’t take it any more. He yelped at Welke. And kept yelping. Welke let him go longer than most umpires permit players to argue about balls-and-strikes. Manager Dusty Baker was late arriving to push Votto away. Just when he got there, Votto had one more word for Welke and was ejected – his first ever ejection.
His first ever ejection…does that include the minors?
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
even in the minors?
Never ejected ever? Too bad it had to come in a game like this. My only objection to the description was the “yelping” part. Made it sound like a husky puppy or something (I have a strange imagination). It certainly seemed more like a full grown husky type thing to me (no I didn’t get the hooch, but I did hit the Luigi’s ice).
Good news that Joey's expressing his emotions
Especially good that he’s not afraid to be angry…cause we all know how quick Dusty is to anger.
this team has been in an emotional malaise for years….it is time for some of these guys to pissed as hell and not take it any more.
Dusty cares but is too even tempered
Dick pole went for the George Grande Partial lobotomy proecedure
Chris Speier is too depressed to get angry
Nobody knows anything about Brook Jacoby
Billy Hatcher is easy going but can get real fiery real fast.
I am not even on the team and I’m pissed…
I know Bob Castellini has got to be fuming
Come on Red’s management, do something smart now…come on Walt show us why you’re so highly regarded…
All Star break is coming just in time.

I agree with all that
I have a bad temper so I know I get angry too easily, but it really is annoying to see no one get fired up. Hairston has, which is one of the reasons I like him. I don’t mean they should get PO’d about everything and act like punks, but they have to fight back some. They have to show they care. I just hope Joey never gets tossed again because we can’t survive without him.
Mostly agree
but we don’t want the kind of unfocused anger Phillips puts out. He tosses his bat down every time he gets out and almost hit the Mets’ catcher in the head. He should be hustling to first instead. That’s obviously a minor gripe, especially since he’s been pulling his weight relative to the rest of the team.
I don’t see how Jocketty doesn’t make a move in the next two weeks. You can’t wait until the offseason to try and lowball around for a SS or LF. EdE will probably have the rest of the season to prove he shouldn’t be non-tendered, but at this point I wouldn’t be opposed if they could pull off a Rolen-type deal.
But yes, DO SOMETHING. Even if it’s a one-for-one, straight up trade like the Francouer one.

definitely agree about the unfocused anger
it doesn’t help and only hurts. The best way to deal with frustration is do better, but it’s good to know they care
I came here to bitch.
I was having such a nice day ignoring the Reds and enjoying the sun. Then a textual message chirped my cellular telephone informing me that one Adam Rosales had been called up? Please, Lord, just let it be for the one game only.
I might just have to murder someone.
Chris Heisey just grounded out on the first pitch of his first Futures game at-bat.
He’ll fit right in with our big-league team!
(And no, don’t worry, I’m not trying to demean how great Heisey’s been this year.)
