Cincinnati Reds

[nflman2033]

yah, i heard someone say that this season is looking like the 89 season, which had most of the same team as the wire to wire, but had tons of injuries, there is no doubt that injuries are going to cost us this season, hopefully they can still finish about .500.

sucks about Bruce, any idea who is going to get the call up?

 

[nflman2033]

yeah what a joke, i heard today that they don't want to bring up a young guy. Looks like Walt is going to luck out, since he hasn't been able to land any offensive help by the time the deadline comes this team will be so far out of it he will have an excuse when he can't get a deal done.

 

[nflman2033]

whats his ERA again.

definately more credit for doing it to the Brewers, still hate the fucker,oh and still whats his ERA, whats his opponent batting average. Arroyo has two types of outings, he fools everyone or he fools no one

 

[nflman2033]

How many wins does he have?

the most overrated stat in the history of th sport, how many wins does Aaron Harang have, and what is is ERA and oppoent batting average and WHIP. compared to Arroyo. so by that what sort of run support does Arroyo have vs Harang, you know the answers to that, bottom line Arroyo is so overrated because his best stat is the most overrated stat not just in the history of baseball, but probably the most overrated stat in all of sports

 

[nflman2033]

yeah i know

doesn't mean what I said isn't true though, i am also going off a little extra because its you. I will take any start from him like his last two any time he wants, however i still refuse to go down there and watch a game when he is pitching.. speaking of which heading down to todays game, hopefull Cueto gets back on track

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

Arroyo never seems to have a pretty ERA because he always has a couple starts per year (usually vs. the Braves for whatever reason) where he gets absolutely bombed and cant get out of the 1st.

nflman, give him credit, he's on fire right now.

He's a decent #3 starter, always has been, always will. He takes the ball every 5th day, wins 14 or 15 games, and never misses a start. What more do you want out of a middle of the rotation guy? He can play for me anyday.

He's got an outside shot at 20 wins. Leave him alone this year.

 

[nflman2033]

yeah i think Cueto is tired he got ran down last year

yeah ill give Arroyo credit but how long til he melts down again

was at yesterday game Gomes to the rescue

 

[Rudi]

Dusty Baker is a fucking idiot.

 

[nflman2033]

yeah the guy can hit RHP, i mean usually RHH vs RHP matchup isn't as big of a deal as LHH vs LHP because Gomes has been facing mostly RHP his whole career.

 

[Rudi]

Good win.

 

[nflman2033]

Finally, the losing streak is over....Reds get the 6-4 victory over the Fathers.

Stars of the Game
1. Brandon Phillips: 1/4, HR, 3 RBI, R After Votto gets ejected, he launches a three-run homer to get the Reds on the board.
2. Homer Bailey: 7.1 IP, 6 H, 3 ER, BB, 4 K Bailey bounced back from the worst start of his career in LA to pick up his second win on the year.
3. Jonny Gomes: 2/3, 2 HR, 2 RBI, 2 R Gomes is just proving that when healthy, he is a great power hitter. Five homers over the last seven games. I'll take it.

Goat of the Game
Dusty Baker How the hell do you let your best player get tossed in the first inning??? Get you're fat ass out of that dugout and get yourself thrown out instead of Votto. That's the second time this year you didn't back up your best player on the field.

yeah if it had been Corey Patterson he would have jumped out of the dugout at warp speed, i honestly really don't like Dusty Baker, I don't think he is a horrible manager, i just think he is a terrible fit for this team

 

[nflman2033]

yeah, this organization is a big joke, maybe not as big of a joke as the Bengals, but its getting pretty close

 

[nflman2033]

yeah I heard they were testing the waiver wire to see if Arroyo and Harang would clear.

too bad about Rolen, but really who cares this season is over anyway i think with the right moves and as long as the injury bug doesn't strike again next season I think they have a chance at playoffs

 

[nflman2033]

yeah typical Arroyo catches fire at the end of the season when there was nothing to play for, skewed his stats so it looked like he had a good season when all his best pitching did nothing for the team, please dear god i want him out of here
