It is an advantage, I guess.
They’re on their last pitcher, we have two more. They could blink first.

Got the kids to bed here on the west coast, took care of a few things, then logged on to watch the condensed game.
Why don’t they have the condensed game up already? Could it still be going on? It would have to be the 22nd inning or something.
My bad, only at the 17th. Woohoo, live baseball for the west coast!

"Playing baseball for a living is like having a license to steal." - Pete Rose
Sure, that part sucked...
but then Dusty completely set Fisher up to fail. It wasn’t the only reason for the loss, but it was a dick move regardless.
Still not a candidate.
Not only that...
Fisher was laboring on the mound and he sends Price out to tell him to “suck it up”.
meh fair enough
could have coached those guy to take some more pitches though. No excuse though, fisher came up to back. Shoulda been Arroyo or Cueto up there to PH and then LeCure to close it out… really NO excuse.
let's see what was wrong with lecure
he wasn’t available. didn’t maloney pitch big innings 2 days ago?
I'm convinced that LeCure is our fifth starter right now
by manichedgehog on May 26, 2011 1:23 AM EDT up reply actions
somewhere around the 17th
you might re-evaluate that plan since there are other options.
You're never as bad as you look when you lose. You're never as good as you look when you win.
also great point
i thought baker’s moves were solid up until this one. Fisher was clearly gassed finishing the previous inning, and he was coming up to bat. Def can be re-evaluated, use LeCure tonite, call up some guy from AAA for Friday. Even if LeCure starts friday, i doubt he’s going to hold a spot in the rotation for a long time this season.
Maloney threw 50 pitches on Friday and again the following Sunday
so Maloney probably should have gone out.
I don't argue I correct.
i mean lecure isn't that gassed
he threw 55 pitches on sunday, fisher had just thrown 70+ pitches and is not a starter/long man!
It was an asshole move.
It’s not just losing the game. Fisher was completely done. He could be hurt from that.
He was a starter in the minors, he will be okay.
There were at least two dozen chances to win this one on both sides, it’s silly to pick one moment.

19 inning loss in 2008 was it. plus, we swept STL, which was obviously a huge mistake. we’re going through the same spiral they did, except now we have to play hard teams. 1-7 now?
good thing we sent frazier down.
can’t wait to hear what was wrong with lecure/maloney.
Some assbag will say "don't panic" or whatever.
But yeah, pretty much. Championship teams don’t lose to position players or get picked off while chatting and smiling. They don’t have a parade of hitters who went 0-5 or worse. Just an awful game all around.

it's pessimism for the immediate future and irrelevant gibberish for the rest of the season
they’re just in some kinda nasty funk, i do not think that the season is over. 3rd place sucks though eh
won't really be a bad effect
only Fisher was terribly abused, they can demote him and get Reienke or Valliquete or somebody who can pitch tomorrow.
I don't argue I correct.
I seriously doubt they can get to Philly in time. Tomorrow's game is in less than 12 hours.
Unless they made that call in the 10th inning or something.

Sleep during the game. It works for future HOF players.

I don't argue I correct.
Well, I was thinking
even if you need to take a 10 AM flight, you can arrive at the ballpark in time for the game.
Still not a candidate.
Yeah, I probably didn't think this one through.
And I guess he (whoever he is) could do his pre-game workout (whatever that is) during the early innings.

He’s on the 40-man, he hasn’t pitched since the 21st, and they’re in Raleigh.
I had no idea he was still in the organization
much less the 40 Man.
That isn't a bad idea
Reinke isn’t on the 40 man, but we have room. So the 40 man isn’t as important as it was before we gave you DRH.
I don't argue I correct.
What a sorry ass effort by the Reds after the Howard HR.
"The Reds have started 2011 the way they ended 2010!"
Yeah, no shit... holding the Phillies to zero runs over 31 outs.
pieces of shit.
Fisher is my hero

LeCure is prolly the Friday game starter.
Maloney is useless
Tis team had a number of chances to win …but right now the offense sucks,
Off to bed gang !!!!
Could have used this guy 2nite

Yeah, hail the fine working people of the City of Brotherly Love. That Carlos Fisher guy should really take a page from their book…
I would have been fine
if the team lost because Maloney is awful…that’s baseball. Dusty did everything in his power to drain Fisher. What sucks is that Fisher will get sent down tomorrow, again and all he’ll get for his heroic effort is a lame pat on the back from Dusty. Dusty will hide behind some chickenshit excuse as always.

(as I’m one of the few non-sleep-deprived folks here)
Could this be Dusty saying we got nothing left in the tank, let’s pack it in and save ourselves for tomorrow against a depleted Phils?
I disagree
You still have LeCure. You only need to hold out for one inning – TWO AT MOST – and you’ll get something against Valdez. They had no interest in going another inning.
by manichedgehog on May 26, 2011 1:28 AM EDT up reply actions
Exactly.
You hang on and beat the guy tonight. Then you go for a series win tomorrow. As is, the best they’ll get is a split, and they have to beat Cliff Lee to do it. Then play 3 more goddamn games on this stupid road trip.
No other way to see it: Dusty gave this one away.
Phone's ringing, Dude.
I think it's simply
that he’s gonna start on Friday. Otherwise, did he get hurt warming up?
heard he left the bullpen for the clubhouse.
why else did he start throwing if he is going to pitch on Friday? Did Walt turn the game on and see Sam up and send Dusty a text?
I don't argue I correct.
That's kind of the way I was thinking about it.
What does Fisher do for this team?

Well, he was obviously saying that
Why he would say that when they beat you to “position player pitching” by two full pitchers would be interesting to know.
If I were owner or GM.....Dusty is fired 10 minutes ago for that game

also, further proof of atheism tonight
philly fans get good things – cliff lee, roy halladay, 19 inning wins. worst fans in sports. no major religion’s god would tolerate that bullshit
no, Saturday was judgement day
and it takes God FIVE MONTHS to process the information.
I don't argue I correct.
Not to defend those fucking dickheads
But they are the most losingest team in history. They’ve had their share of bad things
Fuck it, we'll do it live.
I know Carlos Fisher isn't exactly poor
But he shouldn’t have to buy himself dinner for awhile after that one.
Valdez was interviewed and ask how it felt to have as many wins as Carp

Of the four Reds who hit against Valdez in the 19th, it was Fisher—the pitcher—who reacted with the most anger after failing to get a hit.
"The Reds have started 2011 the way they ended 2010!"
I wonder
if this was Marty’s longest game (innings wise) of his career?
yes
the longest was 5/25/08 in SD
before that 17.1 agains the Cubbies in 79

I watched this entire game with ear infections and the flu.
This has been awful.
Can you imagine what level of suck Gomes could have worked into 19 innings?
0 – 9, 7 Ks, 12 LOB

WTF?
First off, let’s all agree that Votto and Bruce probably should have been more patient against Valdez. However, let’s also remember that it wasn’t like he was throwing underhand or anything – sometimes you make outs no matter how bad the pitcher is. That’s baseball. However, leaving Fisher in was complete BS by Dusty. You have to play to win THIS game, not tomorrow. You have no idea what happens tomorrow. The game could get rained out. The Reds could score 12 runs in the first inning and we would then leave Bailey in even if he gives up 6 or 7. Or we could give up 12 runs in the first 3 innings and then just use Janish. Get someone to Philly in the morning. But don’t leave Fisher in there when he can barely get the ball to home plate on an IBB. I place this loss squarely on Dusty’s shoulders. What did he do to try to win the game?
Bfruce I will not criticize
because he did everything this game. However Votto annoyed me in that at bat. I don’t know what he was doing but he nearly popped out to the infield too.
His ball went nearly to the warning track.
by Cuetotally Amazing on May 26, 2011 1:48 AM EDT up reply actions
I agree, of course, but I think he saw a batting practice ball. Sadly, it wasn't quite enough.
They’ll put together something crazy tomorrow and we will all forget about this and feel better.
by Cuetotally Amazing on May 26, 2011 2:03 AM EDT up reply actions
I hope so but I need to expect less
I got my hopes toay after the win yesterday and the comeback today
can't win for losing, can he
Use Harang in San Diego because we play to win this game… destroys Harang… gdu Dusty!
Use a career minor leaguer in Philadelphia and hold back the (maybe) starter… gdu Dusty!
xFLIP
got picked off during a Rolen walk
talking to Rollins. After that Bruce walked. It would have been a bases loaded walk.
son ov a bitch
and an out at home on bruce
and failure to hit valdez
and leaving fisher in
really gave this away

LeCure and Maloney were not available. LeCure tried to get loose and couldn’t. #reds
he could be hurt
If he is dealing with a minor arm injury, would you want him to risk blowing up his arm?
I don't argue I correct.
believe Dusty said they were both too sore
Who do you risk injury? Fischer, Maloney, or LeCure? Obviously Fischer is less important.
Vanish was the next pitcher Dusty said.
by Jack Armstrong started an All Star Game on May 26, 2011 1:48 AM EDT via mobile up reply actions
i doubt today will fuck Fisher up too much
he has started in the past. He probably should get 5-7 days off and he will be fine. Big difference between using guys who are stiff and sore over letting a guy throw 90 pitches.
I don't argue I correct.
the Phils are just a flat out better team
so when you continually have bonehead plays against them you you don’t have much of a chance.

I lost the game. I take the blame. I put my head down. I fell for the banana in the tailpipe. All my fault.
fell for the banana in the tailpipe – TWSS?
BRUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
On Twitter just now:
I want 2 apologize 2 all the #Reds fans 4 my mistake tonite. It was my fault 4 the loss, but I will keep my head up and get ready 4 the next game! #GOREDS
This makes me really sad for some reason.
by the finest muffins on May 26, 2011 1:49 AM EDT up reply actions
it does me too
even though I was and am angry and frustrated at that idiotc incident, but I’m honestly more angry about the Votto-Bruce performance against Valdez at this point.
I do "love" him in the same way somone man crushing on him does
and add to that my appreciation for his person, but I do not love him in the way I unabashedly love Bruce Campbell. All that adds up to this—he can do wrong in my mind, and tonight he did.
I honestly feel nauseated and nottired
I need some tranqs, but as I don’t have those perhaps an alcholic nightcap is in order. ANy recommendations?
on the plus side, jay bruce is:
• 1st in NL in HR (13)
• 5th in NL in RBI (36)
• 6th in NL in R (32)
• 10th in NL in SLG (.541)
in a related story my fantasy team is in 1st place
Not in the RR league. That’s just a big pile of awful
If Fisher had somehow made it out of the 19th, who do you pitch for the 20th?
The only choice is Janish, but then where do you put Fisher? Shortstop? Or do you run Fisher back out there again?
i think ur only option was lecure or maloney
which is why it made even less sense that the switch wasnt made. It’s as if Baker had conceded the game.
God damnit
For three innings I’m thinking where the fuck is LeCure?
3 innings every 3rd day shouldn’t be a deal-breaker for a long man.
I mean, it’s not like they’d be running him out there EVERY 3rd day, but you know, you don’t have 19 INNING GAMES every decade or anything.
