Last night was a tough loss, making it especially hard to come back and play a day game today. Once again, I really wish Johnny Cueto or Aaron Harang were pitching this series.
That's not to say that Micah Owings is a bad pitcher, but his inconsistency can be dangerous against a team like the Cardinals, who have a way of making mistakes turn into runs quickly (right, Albert?). Once again, the Reds really need a big start from their pitcher. I guess that's what it's like living with an anemic offense.
The last time the Reds faced Brad Thompson, he threw 5 innings, allowing just 5 hits and 2 runs in a Cardinals 5-2 win. It was Thompson's first start of the season, a role that he's held down since then, posting a 4.86 ERA over 6 starts. As you can see, he doesn't strike out many, but he also doesn't walk many either. That means we should see a lot of balls put in play today. Hopefully they're falling in for the Reds.
Enjoy a safe and fun 4th today, everybody! I don't want to hear any stories about your trip to the emergency room this evening.

It’s getting better. Good to see EdE in the lineup. I hope he’s healthy. His swing sure looked good last night. Hopefully having a bat behind Bruce will take some pressure off of him.

i got kinda pissed off last night when EdE came into the game
and all you could hear was crickets. i was really excited to see him back, and i was hooting and hollering at my tv. but that sold-out stadium couldnt give a care if he was back or not. jerks.

i think it had more to do with the fact
that he played a double-header the day before and then packed up and headed to Cincy yesterday. probably not the most convincing reason in the world, but whatevs.

really?
I thought his swing looked a lot better than I expected it to. He crushed that double in the 9th.
"It seems like we're not hitting because we're not getting hits." - Dusty being Dusty
That was failed internet sarcasm
I thought his swing looked great. That’s what led me to wonder why he wasn’t just penciled in at third.

Dusty said before the game that he didn't start Edwin
because he “wasn’t ready” and “wanted to see him first”. I think he was ready.

well, maybe if he was coming up with 2 men on and a chance to tie it
it would have been different. But given the situation, I think people were probably more frustrated by the fact that the game was getting away from the Reds more than focused on the fact that Edwin was playing.

Well, Willy is batting .385/.407/.500
over his last 6 games. If he keeps that up, I don’t mind if he keeps playing. And I don’t know if this was mentioned, but Taveras did take his first walk in over a month in last night’s game. Things are looking up for the Virus!

They're wearing special hats
for Independence Day/Canada Day. Everyone’s wearing red caps, including the umpires. I thienk the Jays have a maple leaf logo instead of stars and stripes. They did it last year, too.
It’s also the anniversary of Lou Gehrig’s speech. I think the entire league is wearing a patch commemorating that.

Hanigan is pretty damn good. Solid #2 hitter and great arm.
Back-up can be lower quality, but I think Ramon is a good trade chip. I like him, but I think he’s very valuable.
I like Hernandez alot
but since we have a great catcher in Hanigan, it might make sense, I don’t know
The easy answer is 'No' for me...
but we aren’t going to get much in return. He’s supposedly a ‘good locker room guy’, and is a serviceable catcher. But, I think Hanny needs more ABs. With Raymoan in the fold this year, and Dusty at the helm…I don’t see him playing regularly.
Hanigan is the future, in my opinion.
I think Ramon is a good piece in a package. Maybe his salary is too high, though.
I didn't realize Bruce was the 6th youngest player in the league.
I’m not saying he shouldn’t still be the presumptive RF, but his performance over this season makes me nervous. His power and arm make up for his low-OBP, but there’s no indication yet that he’s the star we need him to be.

People bitch now that he's up and not hitting...
and were bitching last year when he wasn’t called up till may.
He has a gun in RF, is a competent fielder…I have no problem with him playing every day and batting 7. Someday, the kid could be great. He already has the power. Look at it this way; right now he’s Adam Dunn (sans about 8-12 HRs for a season) but a MUCH better fielder. And a much higher upside.
and much fewer walks
basically, he’s not Adam Dunn. It’s not fair to either player to compare them.
"It seems like we're not hitting because we're not getting hits." - Dusty being Dusty
I don't mean to attack you
that sentiment is a very common statement because people see the home runs and strikeouts and say they are the same player. There is very little that is similar about the two players, besides being white and from Texas (which is basically redundant.)

Sounds liek a plan
if it starts a bench clearing fight, I’m more than confident Harang could take most of them—just with a body slam
We have Jonny Gomes
I’m confident any fight will be a winner for the Reds side.
Plus, all the Reds have to do is start telling Harang that the reason they aren’t scoring is because of that Pujols guy.

You're a true hero for working on this day
I’m babysitting and watching the Tour de France since Extra Innings blacked out this damn game.

I didn't realize
stores were open today.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
that's what I hated about working food service
The restaurant only closed on Christmas. We were even open on Thanksgiving, for a half-day. (And people ordered turkey sandwiches. Are they nuts?)
I always ended up working the holiday shifts because I was a student with no family around. They did give me overtime, though.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
i don't mind working the 4th
but it borthers me that i don’t get paid holiday pay, simply because i’m still in my probationary period, especially since by now I have a combined years service time, but at the end of every summer, i quit to go back to school, so my seniority starts over again, meaning i don’t get shitty shifts, and minimum wage.
Bloop
although i don't get time and a half because i haven't worked there for over 3 months.
fuck Meijer
Bloop
Meijer
I’ve only ever been to one – in Lansing, MI. I’d never seen a store like it. They sell everything.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
as a shopper I like Meijer
They have a wide variety, excellent produce, and a good bakery. They are clean and the prices are competative. But as a worker making minimum wage I have some problems with their expectations. Yesterday they were pissy with me for calling of for the 2nd time in the 4 summer’s i worked there, so yeah fuck them.
Bloop
why is it the reds always get their pockects picks on plays like that
but fuck up those plays when they try to execute them?

bruce threw to hernandez
and pujols scored when he threw down to second to try and get ankeil only to have ankeil advance rather than hitting the cut-off man and nobody scoring

i'd leave Owings in
i feel like Tony LaRussa entered a battle of wits with an unarmed opponent .

Masset Hound sniffed out a weak ground ball.
Could’ve used that yesterday.
He sits alone...Reds are not home.
At this point, I would've liked to have seen Dusty put Weathers back in against Poo Holes.
Just for the huge comedic value. I’m getting to the point where I root to see the idiot screw up just as a sort of self-protection, like watching the Bengals.
He sits alone...Reds are not home.
i hope Bronson Arroyo has the good stuff tomorrow
8 innings of 2 run ball would be good, and a gimpy shoulder for Carpenter is needed too.

we salute you

Adam Dunn
hit his 300th homer.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Today?
That’s gotta be some kind of record!
Nice to see Nix actually get a hit. Seems like it’s been a while.
yeah
Nix is the real odd man out here. he should really be playing everyday against righties with The Sickness on the bench.

This bullpen is the nuts!

I don't know what you're talking about.
Talking about the Reds pen? Last night’d.
Talking about the Cards pen? Keep it to yourself!

Don't last night'd me

3 run lead, 9th inning
Much better use of our best reliever than 8th inning with the bases juiced against Pujols
I need a shrink.
I can’t let yesterday’s game go. All I can think about is that we should be closing out a series win right now, going for a huge sweep. Instead we have to face their ace with Arroyo to salvage a win.

I've been spending a lot of time on the couch lately,
but that’s just me being lazy.

I predicted a win and indeed so it was
Dusty T-Virus making me look bad…but thats alright
I hate all these home runs too

Steve McNair
Not sure if it’s a double homicide or a murder-suicide.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
i feel kinda awful about it
but i lol’d for about 5 solid minutes from this one.

Life is brief. Take your chances on love...ti is all that is of concern.

sounds like
McNair would have been better off not taking any chances on love.
It appears to have been a murder-suicide. And it wasn’t him who did it.
The other victim was a 20-year old woman. Not his wife.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
The McNair news is horribleand disturbing
I now must ask, though, when the postgame thread will appear so that I may properly gush on Owings and Votto some more. Then I have to follow that with some fretting about Bronson
There isn't always a post-game thread
Which is kind of a pain when the game thread is over 300 comments, and they don’t want people posting their venting in the FanPosts.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Indeed!
It’s a good thing last night’s had a postgame because I think the site would have crashed with the number of foul fanposts
It’s supposed to be clear today in Cincy, but it isn’t looking too good right now, Hopefully, Bronson’s pitching is like it was that night against Houston
It's a holiday
go outside and see stuff blow up!
