I think this is a better idea. What if someone comes onto the site in the 7th inning, do they have to sift through 4 full threads before posting?

I don't fully understand the game thread positioning options/discussions..
..but when the dust settles I’ll have an opinion.
"Let's get this movie. We already have the underwear."
My two goals
1. Schedule spillover threads so that mods don’t have to be attentive to that stuff during the game
2. Try to ease the clutter on the front page with threads.
I understand needing the threads to be available for people to review them if they’d like, but I get tired of the front page being 5 different game threads and only 2 or 3 “original content.” Especially since the original content takes more effort to write than the game threads.
I’ll keep thinking about it. Honestly, I haven’t put a whole lot of thought into it yet.

I mean, at CJ we have 3 game threads, 4 if things get really messy.
1st half (of the baseball game), 2nd half (of the baseball game) and post-game. Scheduled posts and baseball could run into problems with rain delays and such.
Just find one of your mods that really likes game threads, posts in them a lot, etc (Brendan) and have him generally manage putting up the 2 extra threads a night. No need for words, like this thread, to lower clutter.
Just my 2 sentc.
Well, typing
“Game __ thread part 2” as a title every 4.5 innings doesn’t seem too terribly taxing. And if it’s only 1 line (a title) it’s not going to be clutterful.
what's annoying for me
is having to pay attention to the size of the thread, when I’d rather pay attention to the game and the comments in the thread.
Sometimes, I’d just like to not be a mod…
/sniff
Red Reporter or follow on Twitter: @redreporter
My proposal does not require that.
Just uses 3 threads a night for games, or in the case of extra innings games, 4.
And, IMO, you don’t have to pay attention to the size of the thread if you don’t want to and # of comments is the basis for creating new game threads. That’s why you have 10 other people listed at the bottom of the page.
Hmm.

So there might be...
a 7pm thread and then an 8pm thread and a 9pm thread and then a postgame thread?
And the 7pm thread would be on the front page (by the way, this thread is on the front page soo…?) and then the 8pm and 9pm and maybe the postgame threads would be on the side?

I think I like that.
I’d say make them all FanPosts and then after the game remove the “Pregame/First Pitch” thread from the front page so that they’re all neatly stacked over there on the right.
Of course, then the non-moderator’s FanPosts end up getting bumped down the list pretty quickly because in any three day span you’d have twelve game thread FanPosts, right?

Lincoln still sucks.
We still can’t score runs.
Bruce’s BABIP is still .000. We’re SCREWED. None of these things will change.
The Lincoln thing doesn't matter
He’s going to go back to mop-up duty. And I don’t think lack of offense says much this early in spring — the pitchers are ahead. The only reason the Indians have 4 of their 5 runs is Lincoln.

Lincoln shouldn't be on the team.
etc. I should find my old comments (or anyone’s old comments) on him and C/P.
I really hope the whole year isn’t a mirror of last year. I might go insane.
Maybe not
But as mop-up guy it might not matter a whole lot. He can at least save some arms. One of Viola, Fisher or del Rosario would be better though, along with Owings.

If we're going to carry a guy like him on a 25-man-roster, we might as well be altruistic.
Just find some kid in A-ball to do Lincoln’s job. He doesn’t deserve a cent we’re paying him.
My point is that it's nothing to get up in arms about
Dusty’s usage of Lincoln could compound the problem though, so it’d be nice if it was someone marginally better taking the spot, like Fisher.
I hope Bray has a speedy recovery to force the issue. Whenever he’s ready, I can’t imagine they wouldn’t keep the mid-level guys like Owings, Herrera or Burton over Lincoln.

I'm sure it happened a few times, and it wasn't a

While Cincy isn’t a hotbed for OSU fandom the entire rest of the state is.

Also, say Michigan had an obnoxious chant that their fans loved and everyone else hated, including yourself, as an OSU fan. But you’re a Tigers fan too, and living in Michigan, are privy to hitting up Comerica to catch a game.

When the O-H chant takes over another stadium's chant
like it did in Michigan this season (awesome, BTW) it gets booed. When O-H goes through GABP (I’ve heard it before), it does not get booed. (Well, possibly on a small scale, by people who hate Ohio State, but for the most part…) So, no, I don’t think they’d mind. Mostly, they’d probably just ignore it. You hate it because you root for a different college football team. People who don’t like college football, and this hypothetical Tigers fan, probably just wouldn’t care. That’s my take.

Bars are one thing, stadiums are another
Chicago’s probably a bad example, because you could get away with a “go Cubs go” anywhere outside of the South side, but what if you tried to start a White Sox chant at a Bears or Bulls game?
It bugs me because I don’t go to a Reds or Bengals game to root for OSU. I go to root for the Reds or Bengals. If I was at a venue where OSU was playing, I’d be much more tolerant, but this is a completely different sport. OSU fans at Bengals games piss me off more than Cubs fans.

Wow.
Well, I don’t go to a Reds game to root for OSU either, and I’m not going to start an OSU chant, but I’m not offended by it. I think that part of it today is the novelty of Indians and Reds fans coming together in the same venue in spring training, and combine that with the retirees out there, it probably adds up to a high volume of people who are also Ohio State fans. That and a joke of a baseball game.

Nice to see your phosphors.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
old saying
From the days when people used CRT monitors.
You couldn’t say “nice to see you” or “nice to see your face,” since on the internets, you don’t actually see anybody. So it became “nice to see your phosphors.”
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
I'm not ashamed to say that I actually went and looked it up
saw all of the monitor references and then put two and two together. This was, of course, after my initial thought that you were either drunk or had lost your damn mind.
Nice to see you too. :)

TRIVIA!
How many walks did the Reds take today and which Reds had the..
OH, FORGET IT. I CAN’T GO ON WITH THIS CHARADE! ..ONE! THE ANSWER’S ONE!
VOTTO! JOEY VOTTO WAS THE ONLY ONE OF NINETEEN REDS HITTERS ABLE TO COAX A WALK FROM CLEVELAND INDIANS’ PITCHING.
NINE INNINGS. NINETEEN DIFFERENT BATTERS. NINE STRIKEOUTS. ONE WALK. ONE.
"Let's get this movie. We already have the underwear."
I noticed that
But hey, it’s the first game of spring training. Can’t blame them for wanting to hit, not walk. Especially with Dusty “take the bat off your shoulder and don’t clog the bases” Baker in charge.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Zack Lee.
Trivia..(ho hum)
Speaking of ‘Heybattabattaswing’… who was the only pitcher on either team to not record a strikeout today?

Huh.
I love SB Nation but this seems peculiar and pretty weak.
I’d even say it’s ‘very weak’ but I’ll withhold such harsh judgement as I may not have all the details.
"Let's get this movie. We already have the underwear."
Ah.
Yeah, see. I just read the comments of the post’s author and he kinda set himself up for what he got.
Still, it doesn’t read well. Some further editing would help.

Damn it feels good to be a gangsta
And it also feels good to have Reds Game Threads to read at night!!!! Now that high school basketball has ended, at least for me, its nice to have this to come back too.
Thanks to all who make my day just a little bit better….
There coulda been more pics to make me laugh though, after all you all exist to please me
Sorry, my new router couldn't keep up today. It'll probably end up being be my fourth router when the season starts.
So, after the fact- here’s a great story from Blog D’Ellison.
From my friend Irwin comes this heartwarming story… a story about the love between Man and Animal that any cat or dog lover can appreciate. Get your Kleenexes out!
In 1986, Peter Davies was on holiday in Kenya after graduating from Northwestern University…
While on a hike through the bush, he came across a young bull elephant
standing with one leg raised in the air. The elephant seemed distressed, so Peter approached it very carefully. He got down on one knee, inspected the elephant’s foot, and found a large piece of wood deeply embedded in it. As carefully and as gently as he could, Peter worked the wood out with his knife, after which the elephant gingerly put down its foot. The elephant turned to face the man, and, with a rather curious look on its face, stared at him for several tense moments.
Peter stood frozen, thinking of nothing else but being trampled. Eventually the elephant trumpeted loudly, turned, and walked away. Peter never forgot that elephant or the events of that day.
Twenty years later, Peter was walking through the Chicago Zoo with his teenage son Cameron. As they approached the elephant enclosure, one of the creatures turned and walked over to near where Peter and his son were standing. The large bull elephant stared at Peter, lifted its front foot off the ground, then put it down. The elephant did that several times, then trumpeted loudly… all the while staring at Peter intently.
Remembering the encounter in 1986, Peter could not help wondering if this was the same elephant. He summoned up his courage, climbed over the railing, and made his way into the enclosure. He walked right up to the elephant and stared back in wonder. The huge creature turned to face the man, and, with a curious look on its face – a look that was strangely familiar to Peter – stared at him. Peter looked deeply into those large, liquid brown eyes. Was that… was that the spark of recognition he saw there?
The elephant trumpeted again, wrapped its trunk around one of Peter’s legs, picked him up and slammed him against the railing, killing him instantly.
Probably wasn’t the same fucking elephant.

I missed all the excitement (and Indians scoring)
I was swamped today. So did any Red hit well? Should we be worried, or just ignore it? a 9-2 loss to the Tribe was not what I expected to find!
our backup infielders are responsible for the two points on the board
Miguel Cairo hit a RBI double, and came home on a Janish sac fly.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
that sounds like teh baseball I'm used to
one of the few runs scored by a sac fly. Maybe tomorrow we’ll get some more promising hitting
Some real pitchers will be on the hill tomorrow
but the offense is worrying me already (still?)
Reds fan for 40 years!
Maloney pitched today
Volquez, Bailey, Cueto, Chapman, and Leake. The future is so bright I have to wear sunglasses.
Please God, let the Reds play half way up to their potential today....
I just can’t stand to watch this!
