Seriously, how many times has Bruce struck out with the bases loaded and less than one out this year?
Let’s hope it stops now.

Running through the bag is faster than sliding head first.
“Mathematically, you might think there’s an advantage, but leaving your feet is actually a detriment because you’re no longer pulsing (pumping your legs) and you start to decelerate,” he says. “When you’re running, your get your feet out in front of the center of gravity, so you’re getting maybe three or four steps of an advantage.”

Is baseball the only sport left with sliding?
I can’t think of any other one.
"You said 'walks' twice."
"I like walks."
rec'd
the only reasons to slide to base is to avoid a tag or not catch a ball in the mouth on a double play
The mere existence of a flamethrower indicates that somewhere, at some point in time, someone said, "Gee, I wish I could set those people over there on fire, but I'm just not close enough."

Been saying it for most of this season, it’s the f*ing clutch hitting (or lack of). Stubbs, Bruce are abysmal in situations like this. Hell, even Joey can’t get it done. If we can somehow be in a situation to buy at the end of month, which I doubt, we need hitting.

That's what's disgusting
It’s one fucking run, we had great pitching, and the offense can’t do any-fucking-thing.
"You! Look what you've done. My starting pitcher thinks he's a chicken."
Bruce is the least fucking clutch player I think I've ever seen.
How can you be a good player and consistently not be able to put the ball in play with the bases loaded and less than two outs? I was hoping he’d be the player he’s able to this season and he was for a month, but when we need him to make contact he strikes out about every time.
"I bet that sex Bengals fan is really pissed now." -DT3428
Yeah, sure, I'm being like Thom.
Whatever. I know we’re not allowed to say anything bad about Bruce under any circumstances without being made fun of, but he sucks with RISP; especially with a runner on third and less than two outs. If he was the player we thought he is, those would be practically automatic runs.
People on RR overrate him badly.
"I bet that sex Bengals fan is really pissed now." -DT3428
the obc is strong with this one
if you weren’t allowed to say something, you’d be banned by now. Shit, we’d all be banned by now.
I think after years of being too pessimistic, the RR mods nowadays trend towards more optimistic. That’s ok.

To be fair, there was nobody on base in that situation.
That Division Championship clinching situation
Fuck it, we'll do it live.
I love that picture and I ain't hatin'
but that isn’t an example of clutch. The Reds would had to have lost out the season to not make the playoffs. That was inevitable.
A Ongreed the Deserving
-coviner's lawful neutral Paladin / Debutante character
This is why I really can't stand clutch.
It’s only whatever whoever says it is. Don’t you think there was a lot of pressure on Bruce? Wasn’t it important? Maybe it wasn’t the clutchiest, but you’d still call a walkoff home run clutch at any other time in the season.

Sure, but that's different then discounting his worth as a baseball player

He's a very likable guy and talented player
who does a lot of exciting things on the field. He’d be well liked by any fanbase, even if he’s not one of the top ten players in the league.
Ok, you proved that some extremely hopeful and biased Reds fans were thinking about Bruce for 2011 MVP.
I still don’t get your assertion that it make a difference on how we’re supposed to consider Bruce’s current performance. He either sucks or he doesn’t.
Singer: So did you know you can bring a gun in here now?
'Mache: I BROUGHT TWO! **flexes**
Bruce is simply streaky
He had 33 RBIs in May. He was clutch then because he was hitting the cover off the ball. He’s not hitting right now, in clutch situations or otherwise.
by ken on Jul 19, 2011 9:11 PM EDT up reply actions 2 recs
Right, we've seen this movie before
Last year, he hit .232/.282/.295 from July 16 through August 17. From August 18 through the end of the season, he slashed .385/.467/.868.
The problem is he came up billed as the next Larry Walker
he was billed as a HOF player before he stepped on a Major League diamond.
If he came up with Votto expectations and Votto came up with Bruce expectations we wouldn’t be as upset about him.
Nothing succeeds like failure.
It's still kinda early, but he's not showing the contact ability I expected
Walker was a .313 hitter. A lot of that is Coors, but he hit .290 and .301 in his second and third years in Montreal. I think Bruce will always K too much to be a .300 hitter. But with plus power, fielding and running, I can live with that.
I look at Bruce the way I look at Bailey
Bailey debuted in 2007, Cueto in 2008. Many casual Reds fans had heard of Bailey for a year or two as a minor leaguer, in spring training 2007 Marty said Bailey “had the best stuff I’ve ever seen” and that he could be what Kerry Wood was supposed to be.
Turned out when Bailey got up here adjusting to the majors can be tough and take a few years.
Cueto was under most people’s radars, I first heard of him in 2005 or 2006, but he wasn’t publicized like Bailey.
So Reds fans seemed okay watching Cueto adjust and struggle where when Bailey did it he was a flop, needed to be traded, never going to amount to anything.
Nothing succeeds like failure.
isn't streaky ill conducive to "clutch"?
A Ongreed the Deserving
-coviner's lawful neutral Paladin / Debutante character
I think streaky and clutch are independent
If you’re hot and you get a RISP opportunity you’ll deliver. If you’re cold, you won’t. The outcome is more dependent on where you are on the hot/cold spectrum rather than the clutchiness of the PA.
that's probably a better way to put it than I did. Where is the "ACCEPT" button?
btw, I think “clutch” is dogdick. More accurate is “not-afraid-of”. I think some people don’t sweat the tough situations.
If someone gets better during tough at bats/innings, I would think it is because they are able to maintain their level while the opponent chokes some small amount and overthinks or overplays.
A Ongreed the Deserving
-coviner's lawful neutral Paladin / Debutante character
In the end, that's exactly the same as clutch
but I also think clutch is dogdick, as you eloquently put it
Agree, and I also think that most professional athletes have enough experience with clutch
and are mentally strong enough to not sweat them. If they’re not tough enough to handle clutch, chances are they’ll be weeded out or suffer from related shortcomings that prevent them from getting to the highest level of play. There are certainly exceptions, but I don’t think Bruce (or Dunn, for that matter) is one of them.
this
if they struggle to hit in the clutch, they will probably struggle to survive where athletic performance puts food on their table.
Nothing succeeds like failure.
Needs to be contact in the spot that Bruce wasted.
That’s killing us. I think I would rather see a double play than have another strike-emout-then-popemout/groundemout.
We coulda left Leake in for that.
A Ongreed the Deserving
-coviner's lawful neutral Paladin / Debutante character
Agree
Don’t need to swing for the fences or gap one every time. But, make contact, get the freaking ball out of the infield. Unacceptable.

Something to start the team. I have always supported Baker, but this team has no clue which is a result of him.
Leaning towards this as well
Maybe this doesn’t have anything to do with anything, but since the 2004 Cubs season Dusty has posted only one winning season record with a team….
i think Oilcan is trying to make another comeback.

Brewers and Cards stock in the off season, we pick up Renteria. Point is-no off season moves is why the chickens have come home to roost. It’s painfully evident we have a need in the 3-5 part of the order.

Pitching could be better, but the inability of anyone in the lineup outside of Votto to get a big hit is just tiring.
We need a bat, and we need it badly.

There are teams every year that over and under perform Pythag
But they rarely repeat the following year because these things even out. This just isn’t our year, so far. But we didn’t underperform Pythag last year, and we probably won’t next year.
And there are some teams/managers that tend to over or underperform their pythag consistently
which would indicate that there may be factors other than luck
Only one I can think of is LAA
They consistently overperformed, until recently. You might see some chronic underperformers by really bad teams, but rarely by teams that are around .500 like us.
The Gardenhire twins, too.
Those are just terrible teams that get to the playoffs every year. Well, except for this year.

Selling Time
1 run in 2 games against these guys. Fucking pathetic.
pittsburgh has a good pitching staff
don’t be so dismissive.
What you can complain against is the inability to make contact with the ball enough to do anything with RISP. This is where this team is really missing Rolen. I don’t think he swings for the fences w/runners on. I’m certainly not anointing him with sainthood, but I’d much prefer he be at the plate than Bruce or Stubbs.

but a bunch of pitchers who strike out a hitter just a touch over every other innings is not a way to suceede.

"I bet that sex Bengals fan is really pissed now." -DT3428

but i look at them and see pitchers who are all pretty lucky. I’ll take Zach Greinke with his K/BB over 5, and K/9 of 12, and ERA of 5.04, over any member on the Pirates staff despite the fact that the Pirates pitchers have lower ERAs.

Hey guys, remember when the 1971 Reds failed to post a winning record?
That’s what I’m praying to Godot this team is a reincarnation of.
my Dad talks about that team from time to time
he said you could tell by June that that team wouldn’t match the 70 team, just weird luck.
Nothing succeeds like failure.
Just to clarify
I don’t actually remember them because I hadn’t been born yet. But, the point stands. This really could just be an out of nowhere, shitty year for what we all know is a playoff caliber team.
he said shit would happen, like a ball what hit the ground and take crazy hops, bloops were caught on offense, dropped in on defense.
just not their year.
Nothing succeeds like failure.
even if this team ends the year sub .500
they fix 3B, find a top of the staff pitcher, and a left fielder, they are going to be a force for the next few years.
They don’t even need to do all of that.

Reading the comments section of the local paper, someone wondered whether Melvin could somehow get PJ from Jocko. He really thought he was a nice player.

Bart: "Dad, what's a Muppet?"
Homer: "Well, it's not quite a mop, not quite a puppet, but man... (laughs, then pauses) So, to answer you question, I don't know."
well
Janish has been a more valuable player than Betancourt, even with the deep, dark batting slump he fell into this year. Melvin has said he wants to upgrade at SS, and will take a glove guy (since all glove, no bat beats no glove, no bat).
And with Cozart being such a similar player, the Reds probably don’t need Janish. They probably won’t want to trade him within the division, but if the Reds fall out of it, they might do it. It’s not like Janish is Joey Votto.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
I’ve lost my ability to read Melvin, but I would think he’d want more of an upgrade. I’d like to see them get Barmes from Houston or get Desmond from the Nats if they truly are thinking of trading him.
Melvin I expect something like getting some old, RH power hitter to pinch hit late.
"Prince Fielder is too fat even for the Oakland A’s" - Billy Beane
areuserious?
The Nats would trade Desmond?
I’m sure Melvin would like more of an upgrade, but whether he can afford one is another question. They’ve basically admitted they don’t have many prospects left to trade. That suggests a PTBNL or cash considerations kind of deal.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Espinosa to SS and some guy in AAA to 2nd is what the rumor mill has churned out. Melvin will tell you they have lots of prospects.

McDonald was filthy tonight. Throwing 93-94 mph gas and a devastating CB. The offense sucks right now, but the last 2 nights they’ve been owned by 2 legit good pitchers who were both on top of their games.

that the Reds are completely inconsistent and that will probably cost us any playoff hopes, but it does mean that the Braves are going to have to deal with a major offensive episode.

but i’m sure Dusty will use his “match-up” prowess to stay the triple platoon he has going on out there right now. What a fucking joke. I think this is all underscored by the fact that Dusty HATES rookies and has never played them consistently unless the GM tells him to. Cozart should play every stinking day the rest of the season, but I bet the corpse formerly known as Edgar Renteria will find himself starting another 10-15 games this season.

Well Stubbs is reallythe only one without a block
Hatteberg was on the roster to open the 2008 season.
Patterson was sent down to make room for Bruce, but Patterson was brought back up shortly due to an injury, for a while the Reds had Dunn, Griffey, Bruce, and Patterson.
DRH and Chapman are two heavily used relievers.
I am guessing he was in on the discussion about Leake and Cueto, if he didn’t want them at all they probably wouldn’t have made the team, Owings could have started 2010 in the rotation, and Belise could have started 2008 in the rotation.
But don’t let facts destroy a good argument.

I have one thing only to say...
Why use Bruce as a pinch hitter in the 7th. Dusty could see Beimal warming up. Hernandez strikes out WAY less than Bruce does. He had a much better chance of getting that run in.
I think Dusty was hoping for 2 things
one to show Bruce he has confidence in him, despite what has happened, and 2 if Bruce got the big hit, that may have gone a long way towards getting him out of his slump.

Dusty needs to stop coddling these guys
They are grown men, they should be able to get their own minds right. We need wins, even if we have to scratch them out. I’m sick of Dusty’s optimistic attitude. No one will light a fire under these guys because they assume they’re just going through a rough patch. NEWS FLASH this team is 5 games out with 3 teams ahead of them. No more excuses, do your damn job and stop underachieving.
Also, the 7th is a bit early to burn you catcher on the bench

Using Bruce their was defendable
For the year Bruce has an OPS of .832 and an OPS against lefties of .887. His slump will end at some point, by the end of the year he will probably have a slash line of .270/.340/.550.
I would love for him to be more consistent, and not have these periods where he is lost at the plate, but when he gets hot he carries the offense. He is a couple of good games from getting hot again.

this the most laughable rumor i've ever heard.
Coco Crisp? he once was in an all out brawl with Jonny Gomes. Chone Figgins has a .472 OPS this year with 20 million due on his contract. This knucklehead Danny Knobler has his head up his ass for even printing such an idea. If Jockety makes a move for either of these guys, i’m cancelling my MLB.TV subscription and calling it a year.
oh, jeez
Jocketty still thinks the Reds’ biggest need is a leadoff hitter? Arrrghhhh.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
To be fair, the jury's still out on what Stubbs can provide from the leadoff spot.
And it doesn’t seem likely that Dusty would ever give Cozart a shot at leading off.
I’d rather get an ace (so Ubaldo,) but if that can’t happen I wouldn’t mind a leadoff hitter. I’d want one that’s much better than Figgins or Crisp, but it still would be nice to get a good table setter to try and help this team score some runs.

The Pirates are a team with poor offense and are getting by without allowing many runs. The four members of their staff not named Mcdonald have a K/9 under 6, yet the highest ERA of those 4 guys is 4.01.
If their staff keeps that up they will have to end up being one of the luckiest staffs in baseball.
