I don't get why people think that the Reds reap some sort of advantage from playing at GABP.

I mean, it’s not like the other team is hitting at a different park during the Reds home games. If both teams are playing in the same park and in the same conditions, then people should shut the fuck up.

actually i think it is a disadvantage to play in an offensive ballpark

the Reds pitching staff has to pitch their 81 times a year. They get driven from games faster due to the runs they allow, which puts more strain on the bullpen.

I agree with this

The thing with throwing that hard is that your release point has to be PERFECT. Any small variation can mean 6-8" difference in where the ball goes. They need to find a motion that’s easily repeatable to him.

He isn’t the best arm in teh bullpen, he isn’t a big strike out guy, but he can give steady innings of work, with lots of ground balls.

I say leave the strike out artists for jams in the 6th, 7th, and 8th, and use a steady guy to pitch a fresh 9th.

by dugg on Jul 22, 2011 10:07 PM EDT up reply actions  

Because they had to do it

They had to show the baseball world that they were serious in the FA market and that they were willing to spend money. Think Reggie White with the Packers. The Reds were a small market team looking to get headline by signing CoCo. They were making a point. And if you look at it over the course of the contract, it hasn’t been a bad deal.

still, with Cordero coming off the books this year I would like to see them allocate that money to something more useful. I’m not bitching about Cordero, he’s been okay (not great, but okay) but I don’t think we can afford 12 mill for a closer next year.

i know

i think he would have done better if he was hired in 2004 by Carl Lidner, I believe he was one of the final candidates.

He wouldn’t have had the pressure to win now that Bob placed on him, so deals like trading 1/4 of the starting line up for two relief pitchers, or $12M for a closer wouldn’t have happened. Carl didn’t really seem to care much about the Reds performance, I think he wanted them to win, but didn’t lose much sleep when they lost. Bob expected the Red to “win now” which wasn’t happening with their budget no matter who the GM was at the time. I think chasing the Cardinals for most of 2006 made things worse, I think if they wouldn’t have been in a pennant race in 06 (even if it belonged at the special olympics) Bob would have been more satisfied with waiting for the young kids to come along.

by dugg on Jul 22, 2011 10:16 PM EDT up reply actions  

probably wasn't Wayne Krivksy's best decision

but in his two years in Cincinnati the bullpen was a huge weakness. Remember the “dreaded 8th inning” of 2007? In 2007 the Reds only quality relievers were Dave Weathers and Jared Burton. Krivsky decided he had to fix the bullpen and found the best guy on the market to do so.

He was a GM in his first gig, and had a very enthusiastic and impatient owner, and he knew his job was in jeopardy if the team didn’t turn around in 2008.

Was it a lazy expensive sign? Yes.

If anybody needs to buy a plane ticket, do it after midnight

the FAA won’t be charging taxes due to the governments inability to get its head out of its ass. Some airlines though are increases their fairs so they are the same as they were pre tax, yet others are keeping their fares at pre tax levels.

Hey man, it's still early. I mean, it's not even 11pm yet.

Still plenty of time to tread water and try to get hot, ya know?
Just gotta keep goin’ back out there and keep your head above water.
Swimming is for suckers, gotta keep treadin’ water.
See, when you start treadin’ water and the weather gets a little warmer, you can get hot and get on a roll. A sweet roll, no wait a jelly roll, aww hell, man it’s still early.

Get Fucked.

cab

Always a cab, kid.

I know I’m generally full of shit, but listen to me closely right now: CALL A CAB IF YOU ARE EVER DRUNK AND WANT TO GO SOMEWHERE ELSE.

I can assure you that choosing the other option WILL catch up with you, and it WILL suck.

I learned the hard way

I’ve spent over $50 on a one way cab. Worth every penny.

Or just call me.

Becoming sober the last few years has essentially made me the last resort for the drunks of this fair city.

yup

And as someone who has been where you’re at – go sit sober in a WC around that time. It’s eye opening to see what you looked like.

I've come to learn that expectations suck when dealing with cincy sports

Bengals finally win a division and blow it out the ass the next few years. Reds finally win and we probably won’t even have a winning season

expectations are premeditated resentments
