pitchers duel
will this come down to defense, or a key hit?

Come on Stubbs, you should have been on third with that softly hit liner.
How about a little HUSTLE with your WHEELS.
Okay, I’m joking. Good hit, young man!
how about stealing a base?
might only need to produce one run this game
With Carp and Molina, it's difficult . . .
almost as difficult as listening to Jim Day talk about it. 18% success this year.
and I guess stealing in front of Bailey is no help

Too close to the mic or something?
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
Yeah, he's hard to steal on because of his quick release.
But I’d attribute it even more to having Molina behind the plate.

Supposed full quote on the Colby-LaRussa-Pujols thing from VEBs
"If he doesn’t want to be here next year, we need to figure out a way to get him out of here and find somebody that wants to be here. That’ll show you right there a young player that doesn’t respect what he’s got. He needs to find out the talent and ability that he has and pretty much keep his mouth shut and play the game. Let the organization make those decisions, not himself."
well, good to see Pujols and LaRussa are over their all-star-game fueld tiff from a few years ago

Pujols was on the bench, and with it late and close, LaRussa, managing, didn’t bring him in as a pinch-hitter. To which Pujols said something like “I’d have loved to play, its too bad the manager forgot about me” or somesuch

that stat is a lil off
he has 8 fly balls fielded by infielders this year. most right behind the 3rd base bag (just off infield dirt) fielded by SS or 3b. Also, actually has one fielded on the infield from 6/20/10 against the mariners (1st inning)
So, who will Carpenter blame for the 2 doubles?
He has to whine like a bitch and deflect responsibility. It’s his nature

"Don't turn off the TV if we've still got bats in our hands." - Dusty Baker
I like them
and very much dislike the Phillies, especially the thought of facing them in the postseason
I thought we decided that the Phillies are likely to overtake the Braves anyway,
and them doing so will likely have us face the Braves in the 1st round.
we need to have the best record and for the phillies to overtake the braves
because if the wild card and best record comes out of the east, we will face the wild card team.
Joey Votto is my MVP.
Reds'll likely face the wild card team no matter what.
because the division leader can’t face someone else from their division.

looks like Mrs. Hanigan isn't going to be up to much tonight after that.
woof.

Goddammit
Bailey cannot lose his shit on a pitch like that when he has Holliday by the curlies

I'm gonna go back to being inspired by Matewan now

at least Bailey is as pissed as I am

73 pitches
so, uh, no.

Well, that's annoying.
I’m not a big fan of that IBB either, given that Holliday seems to be hitting at least as well as Pujols. And it wasn’t like the walk set up the DP or anything.
Oh well. Still only down by two…
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
yeah, a grounder is a grounder is a grounder
Baker does this sometimes against the Cards. He sees LaRussa overmanaging and then he feels like he has to, as well.

Yeah, Dusty
Why did you groove that pitch to Holliday?
I wonder if there’s a college study that shows how exposing my generation to Three’s Company set gender relations back approximately 715 years

fuck that, he should have never been in the position to groove it.
Bad decision, period.
Brantley says
Hanigan was calling slider and Homer kept waving him off.
Then Marty called Homer hardheaded.
And then the coal called the kettle black.
Tanzen!

hey Verka,
whatre the odds you watched this Matewan flick as a young + impressionable?

Looks interesting.

it was just above the knees
Holliday, truth be told, is a damn good hitter.
"And then there was the USAID guy in Kandahar who drove a giant pink Cadillac, which the locals set on fire one day. If you wanted to destroy something symbolic during a riot, you just could not do better than that. Good stuff." - Ghosts of Alexander
fastball that splits the plate, above the knees
that’s a meatball. And Holliday is good so he punished it
yeah
Dusty is such an asshole making homer throw a meatball.
It was a little silly for the situation to walk Pujols, but if Pujols would have hit a 2 run bomb, people would criticize him for letting Pujols beat him.
Joey Votto is my MVP.
or Pujols hits a home run, then Holliday hits a home run.
i mean I wouldn’t have walked Pujols in that situation.
Joey Votto is my MVP.
Fine, I still play my odds on the guy who couldn't hit a beach ball for the last two weeks.
The dumb calls have been far fewer this year, but the ones that happen are just mind-boggling. Two weeks ago, you walk Pujols, today you make him beat you.
its just shitty math
lets say Pujols has a 17% XBH rate and Holliday has a 14%. So you just traded .17(1) for .15(2), basically. I don’t like math, but that’s the way it was done.

Right, it's only worth it in that situation
if there’s a significant dropoff from the first to the second guy. And with Holliday after Pujols, I don’t think there’s much of a dropoff.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
I cant believe you are not ripping my statistics apart.

Fuck it
If we win we’re 9 games over
if we lose we’re 7 games over
OH NO SEASON IS OVER
Needless to say, this didn't work and everybody died.
I want a happy Bailey for the stretch run and the playoffs
and you do too

Just wondering.
Besides Dusty, did anybody else NOT see that Holliday homer coming a mile away?
Phone's ringing, Dude.
Clearly, Mayor McCheese isn't gritty enough to steal bases
Time to trade him for a warm six-pack of Natty Light

today marks the first day Busch does the orange 30-cubes
Fall has begun.

We should bring in Travis Wood to hit for Homer
Needless to say, this didn't work and everybody died.
i really hope we come back and make this an "Eff you" game
just rip their fucking hearts out… i know its still 7 but man i really really hate the cards
KK
you’re doin it wrong
"And then there was the USAID guy in Kandahar who drove a giant pink Cadillac, which the locals set on fire one day. If you wanted to destroy something symbolic during a riot, you just could not do better than that. Good stuff." - Ghosts of Alexander
Not to mention Pujols is mired in one of the worst slumps he has ever had
“I know, let’s walk him” Fucking ridiculous
And he may have done it just to shift blame off himself
if Pujols beats you, people ask why you let him. If you walk him, people congratulate you for making someone else do it. Heat removed from Dusty, even if it loses the game
c'mon we don't think dusty is managing so he isn't second guessed...
managers are second guessed no matter what, as evidenced by the conversation here immediately after the HR.
it would cost us
if we don’t come back which we will in epic fashion when Fanklin walks in a run and pinc hitter Travis Wood lines a double
Jesus, Carpenter is mowing us down right now
We're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad. Otherwise, you wouldn't have come.
surprised tehy're not sending Bailey out
kinda wasting a PH here

I love how we're blaming Bailey for Dusty's dumbass decision to walk Pujols.
The guy is in a 1-9 slump and the worst thing he can do is put his team up 3-2. Now it’s 4-2. Good strategy!
Hey, remember when they walked Pujols and Holliday in Cincinnati and Rasmus beat them? I do.
Phone's ringing, Dude.
Bailey's only fault is throwing
a shitty pitch to Holliday

Memo to Jeff Brantley
Don’t sound so excited when a Red strikes out. Especially when three of them go 1-2-3. Against Chris Carpenter and the Reds’ chief division rival.
by DevilsAdvocate on Sep 5, 2010 4:09 PM EDT up reply actions
Especially Carpenter
he just owns the Reds
by occams_tiger_teeth on Sep 5, 2010 4:08 PM EDT up reply actions
At the end of the day...
Carpenter is still an arrogant bitch, and we’ll have a 7 game lead over these douchebags.
and 2 innings to make it a 9 game

Colorado series really makes me nervous.

I'll third that
Frankly, I get nervous whenever we cross the Mississippi and our final destination isn’t in Houston.
Hopefully Jay-hova can come back
We're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad. Otherwise, you wouldn't have come.
yeah we still have a chance
it’s just too bad Bailey shanked it when he was pitching so well and had such a low pitch count
He's really good though
frustratingly so.
We're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad. Otherwise, you wouldn't have come.
Hahaha Molina is so slow
We're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad. Otherwise, you wouldn't have come.
fantastic play by Ocab there
What does a mama bear on the pill have in common with the World Series? No cubs.
is it me...
I’m racking my brain trying to remember if there was another player that I detested as much or more than Carpenter.

announcers are saying Molina will get 2 or 3 games off this 30 game stretch
that probably isn’t enough, no?
