After pouncing on Jason Schmidt for three runs in the first inning, the Reds have now given up six unanswered runs. Joy is fleeting, familiarity is crushing.

Dunno if this posted in the other thread
but Ramirez should be banned. He is a disgrace. Not to mention, he looks like an Orc
got my attention
Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight, he'll just kill you.
I was thinking more of the fact that he was formed from teh earth by evil powers
or something like that. Doe sit help that I think Ryan Hanigan looks a little lke Kevin Bacon?
and don't forget
Sneaking off to go pee in a cup inside the Green Monster. While he supposed to be in left field.

Woulda been funnier if he snuck into the Monstah
while he was supposed to be in right field.

it's not the kind of thing you make up
The pitcher was about throw a pitch, when he looked back and saw there was no left fielder behind him. Where’s Manny? Turns out he had to go, and so snuck into the Green Monster (it’s hollow, with a door so the scoreboard changers can get inside) to pee in a cup.
With Manny, I suppose we’re lucky he didn’t just whip it out and water the grass in left field…

Re: Nix
He’d be OK as a 7 hitter if other guys in the lineup had really good OBPs but this lineup can’t afford him. We need a lot fewer outs and a lot more pitches taken
Isn't there a slanket somewhere you should be filling with your farts?
Hate to say it..
but you’re so right about the rest of teh lineup that I’m not sure it matters what Nix does or who he’s replaced by.

Reggie Sanders made damn sure that it ended there, however.

everyone runs out
Macha and the Pirates’ pitching coach were actually pretty salty with one another – pushing with an ump in the middle
5 pitches to Hanigan, and all were out of the K zone
yet he struck out! Sucks with guys in scoring position.
Reds fan for 40 years!
he's no Jonny Gomes
Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight, he'll just kill you.
I blame the ump
The first called strike was pretty outside according to GD, and so Hanigan had to swing at the last strike, which was in the same place just a little lower.
first two reach and then nothing
boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Marty
Marty’s right that Owings ain’t getting it done, but not because of his W-L record. I think he’s our 8th best starter right now. He’s really skated through some starts, with hard hit balls abounding. I just don’t see the potential for him to come out of it. He’s not really fooling anybody.
He's fooling Dusty, et.al.

I think Owings should swap with Bailey
when Volquez comes back. If Volquez doesn’t come back soon, Owings needs an ERA DL trip and put Maloney in place. We can’t win with starts like that
when his control is bad
he flat out sucks
Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight, he'll just kill you.
yeah it is sad
because he showed alot of promise in a number of starts. Maybe he can work it out. Hehas to do that some other time though

Oh
I thought you were referring to the state of the Reds. And I was about to be in full agreement. I don’t think I’ve ever felt as negatively toward the team as I do this season. Actually, it’s not even negativity. I’ve just kind of given up. Reds baseball is not fun any more.

Agreed, but his excuse that media shouldn't/couldn't do anything is horse crap.

I agree with you both
the media can make or break someone. That much is clear. If they applied pressure, they could have done him in
Hanigan is 3 for 3
on shooting down runners

yeah
maybe it’s becaus ethere is hardly ever a reason to forgive Joey, or maybe it’s just because I like him much. Whatever it is, I hope he doesn’t make a habit of letting Herrera get a second chance at a strikeout after producing a popout ;)
Last chance Reds
Danny Ray kept you within striking distance. Do your thing.
Thankfully, I kinda like the bottom of our order.
