Around SBN: Trent Richardson Interviews Fellow Brown Brandon Weeden

Clever and Engaging! Cream Filling!

Today was a bad game for the Reds. They almost one but they didnt'. Zack Cozart started the game off good. He hit a home run and we were off to a winning start against the Braves. Unforuntaly, the pitching. Because prospect Daniel Corcino was actually 45 years old, the Reds had to go with youngster Bronson Arroyo and boy was he bad. At one point Brain McCann and Jason Heyward hit back to back home runs off of him. That was probably the ticker that Bronson was done. But he wasn't. Because I dont know where to find the fangraph for the game, i'll make my own . Picture18lr_medium

After Cozart was all like "I'm really good at baseball" the other guys weren't as good and the pitching sucked. Arroyo came in in the 7th and he shouldn't have. Something bad happened, but I wasn't paying attention to the game.

Then Masset came in during the 9th even though Chapman should have started the game and gone all the way until the 9th. He gave up back to back home runs for the SEVENTH TIME in the game. The home runs were given up to Mike Hampton and Eddie Perez

I think Masset left and then Bray came in and he did something. After he left Kimbrel came in. This would have been exciting, but he's with the Braves, so it was bad. He struck out Stubbs and Gomes and then made Hanigan do something bad and we lost. I didn't really pay any attention to the game though.

 

Now I'm wearing a suit and eating veggie straws to appease Jutsin. I don't know where the Yankee hat came from.

The Joe Nuxhall Memorial Day Player of the Game goes to Zack Cozart because he hit a home run and he is a shortstop who doesn't suck a lot.

Other notes:

* This is an asterisk. You may see it next to Barry Bonds name.

* Michael is back. I can be even less coherent than he.

* Halyomorpha halys fucking sucks dick. Screw those things.

* Today marked the first time the Reds have lost to the Braves since the last time they lost to the Braves.

* Veggie straws don't belong in your nose. They kind of itch.

by kcgard2 on Jul 23, 2011 9:35 AM EDT up reply actions  

Wow I guess Dusty is kind of brain dead
The Reds already had a 1-0 lead on rookie Zach Cozart’s second career home run with one out in the first inning. Fred Lewis was on third base with one out and Miguel Cairo batting. The scoreboard showed a 2-2 count on Cairo, but Baker thought it was wrong.

"I thought the first pitch was a ball," he said. "It was a situation where I didn’t trust the scoreboard. I thought the count was 3-1. That was my fault."

Shit like this pisses me off, and it is hardly the first time this sorta thing has happened under Dusty’s watch. In 2008 he made an improper double switch, and an out was made for batting out of order. The same thing happened to Dusty’s Cubs in 2004 in a game against the Reds.

It is kind of embarrassing for him.

The Rangers' manager robbed Michael Young of a chance at the cycle.

He was a home run short, but the manager PH’d for him. He later admitted it was a mistake and his scorecard had two doubles, with no single.

But I do concede that his mistake didn’t cost the team a run.

Jumping spiders (in the family Salticidae) are my favorite kind of spiders

I honestly think they look kind of cute. They almost always shy away from human contact. They actually make pretty good pets too. They have a pretty good lifespan and can be tamed fairly easily and taught to feed/drink out of your hand. Some of them actually mimic ants and will hold their front two legs as if they are antennae.

No spider is ever going to get near enough to my hand to eat and drink out of it. I buy the bug spray that shoots like 30 feet that’s technically meant for wasp nests so that I don’t have to get near the spiders to kill them.

I was hoping to allow him to make his own choices but it may have reached the point of relocation.

I’m still curious why he doesn’t want to go somewhere else, however. Three days is a long time to stay in one place.

I've been here for roughly a year or so

and this is, by far, the greatest thing I have seen on here. And this is not a slight at everything else, this was just that entertaining. Well played, fine sir. Well played.

we aren't very good

but we should point out to Braves fans that the Reds can phone it in and miss the playoffs, while the Braves can try as hard as they can and have a record better than the Central division champions and still miss the playoffs!

Notes from the game:

Lots of Braves fans in attendance last night

It seems to me that the coaching staff positions the LF’ers way too deep all the time. Lewis was almost to the warning track the whole game, which allowed a number of bloops to drop in for base hits.

The “Old Fashioned Hand Slapped Burgers” (located near section 110) are pretty good.

Our pitchers don’t seem to know what batters to avoid. Giving up 4 HRs to the 4 guys on the Braves that can take it out is some bad decision making.

Also, any stat nerds know where to find Team BABIP?

I’d be curious to find out what it was last year vs. this year so far. Seems like a lot of our hard hit balls are finding gloves more often this year.

Thanks, pal.

Hmmm…

So this year, team BABIP is .297 (NL avg .293)

Last year team BABIP was .314 (NL avg .299)

I guess my hypothesis is incorrect.

that's a sobering thought

That the Reds are not unlucky this year. They were just unusually lucky last year.

Via MLBTR
The Reds scouted Jason Vargas and Doug Fister when the Mariners visited Toronto this week, a source told Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports (via Twitter).
Reds GM Walt Jocketty told Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports that he’s looking for a bat to insert at the top of the order or in the middle of the lineup. However, the Reds are also open to acquiring pitching, either for the rotation or the bullpen. The Reds have lots of depth, but Jocketty says he "hates" trading prospects.

They've had a death watch for her since 2007 or so

Probably even before that

If available pitching talent isn't worth Reds prospects

Why not use our prospects for talent that could be available for the right price? There has to be a reasonable deal to pry away Reyes despite what the Mets are saying.

I get the phillies and padres game on my fox station!

jesus, in the day of 5,000,000 channels, can’t fox at least give me an option for which Fox game I want to watch? Can’t they have some where in the local cable the other Fox games, they can even have local commercials.

they could put it on one of the high channels, and it could have local commercials for the viewer and everything else. People will have a choice in their product, not just what they are given.

Yes, this makes me angry

The Reds have probably been on national Fox broadcasts 6 or 8 times this year, and not a single one has been viewable in NYC.

There’s almost always a northeast team on too, so I get stuck with that.
