2013 Cincinnati Reds Thread

[Rudi]

Agreed 100%. Harris is fucking useless.

[Warner2BruceTD]

You know, keep in mind that in the midst of a terrible offensive slump, the Reds have played the Cardinals six times, the 10-4 first place Nats four times, and a pretty solid Marlins team three times. Seven of those games on the road. That's a tough schedule, so 5-8 considering the AWFUL hitting isn't the worst case scenario, here.

Coming up for the Reds:
@ CHI
vs SF
vs HOU
vs CHI
@ PIT

The offense is going to hit at some point during this stretch, and this isnt exactly Cards/Marlins/Nats. Reds can play .600 ball during this stretch.

@ CHI 2-1 .667
Total 2-1, .667

JJ Hoover has been called up to the big league squad per John Fay....the move is not known yet, but he suspects someone to the DL. Hopefully Chicken Alfredo Simon or Willie Harris is gone though. Might be Bray too. Ill update once it is known

[Warner2BruceTD]

Bray to 15-day DL.

Poor guy should have been there to begin with. He clearly isnt right. At least he gutted it out.

[Warner2BruceTD]

JJ Hoover as RP in the minors: 36.9% K-rate, 8.4% BB-rate.

Aroldis Chapman as RP in the minors: 36.2% K-rate, 11% BB-rate.

Back to .500, this team is playing some good baseball finally

[Warner2BruceTD]

I think we need a gif of Votto gently tossing that ball back to the pitcher yesterday after getting HBP, with a "i aint even mad" caption.

YES

That was so awesome, I'm not gonna lie.

THE TODDFATHER gets a start today.

Shitty way to lose the third game, but whatever.

@ CHI 2-1, .667
vs SF 2-1, .667
Total, 4-2 .667

[Warner2BruceTD]

So yeah, Pagan should have been called out and thus never hit the HR, but we already knew that.

I put this in the other thread by accident...

After that AWFUL start, the Reds are starting to hit, and are taking advantage of this soft part of the schedule, and managed to finish April @ .500.

[Rudi]

Paul Yanish broke his wrist.

[Warner2BruceTD]

He was hitting very well, too. I was hoping they would tire of Willie Harris being useless and go back to Janish.
