Reds Tidbits (2013 Season)

...And by the fact that they turned a young starter with a high ceiling into a fucking closer.

...And then by the fact that they signed Broxton for $7 million/season to be a setup man.

you know your bench sucks when it Leake was the better option to hit

Well, I haven't been listening or watching the game, but looking at the box score this game appears to have been Baker-ized.

-Leake left in ball game for the 8th-- mistake 1
-Marshall taken out of ball game, after surrendering a soft single to left, b/c there was a RHB up next--mistake 2
-Hoover brought into game-- mistake 3
-Hoover left in to face the LHB Francisco b/c Marshall had been taken out of the game--mistake 4, compounded by mistake 2.
-Broxton left sitting in the bullpen and not brought in to begin the inning-- mistake 5.

i just love how they (fsn, reds players, duhsty) kept harping all night after the walk off by choo how a win like that would motivate the team and that it could propel them on a streak.So how do they follow it up? by making mike fucking minor look like greg maddux. bunch of hacks! fuck u guys!

Leake finally had a good game on the mound and he gets Fucksty'd. Hate is a harsh word but I hate that toothpick chewing fucker.

Hoover. For fucks sake! :!

Very rarely do you get such a clear answer on whether you won or lost a trade.

 

[Jaxbuck]

These guys are just pure fucking garbage.

Finally get lucky enough to score 2 runs and give up the lead the very next 1/2 inning.

Losers to the bone.

One of the best plays I've ever seen.

Zach Stubbs almost fucked it up.

Great interview with Votto discussing his obliterating the field in winning the Face Of MLB contest, which he credits to Cincinnati fans and his "Tweets Above Replacement."

Thank you so much to the fans. I can't tell you, and I'm being sincere when I say this, it means a tremendous amount to me. Because even if the Bryce Harpers and the Matt Kemps and the big superstars of our game win it in the future, I'll always be able to say a player from Cincinnati, a player from a Midwest team, a Canadian player born in Toronto, won the Face of Major League Baseball. That was a byproduct of the fans. I can't take credit for it, but I certainly can show my appreciation. I'm always going to remember this. I can't wait to receive the award on the field and hear what the fans have to say.

Awesome.

Braun needs to call his pharmacist to see if there's anything that could enhance his performance.
