hard to get jacked when the teams offense is so horrible. And I know I'll fall in the minority on this but I'm tired of seeing our studs jog to first on a grounder . They go out several games in a row , get 6 hits and average scoring a run a night ... then ask " Get Loud Crowd " ?? bottom line is its a very mediocre offensive team.

Of course it's the fan's fault the team sucks against bad teams. IF it wasn't the fans fault then players like Ludwig would actually have to look in the mirror to get the reason of such bad play.

 

Ludwig, it's been nice knowing you, time to move over for Hamilton, at least he can hit, and he's not supposed to be able to hit....funny how that works out.

Last night proved no matter how much crowd energy you have it won't affect the team...

Couldn't have said it better. I sure do hope this cures Jocketty of signing washed up ex Cardinals...

The team sucks against bad teams... if 55-30 against sub .500 teams sucks then ya I guess you are right. And Hamilton hit .256 in AAA this year. Are you all literally incapable of looking at the bigger picture? Do you realize that without Ryan Ludwick last year, we probably do not win the division? Do you realize that you continue to say the same things over and over, all of which was never mentioned by Ludwick. Love or hate the guy as a baseball player, stop putting words in his mouth. I think its crazy that you all praise a guy like Brandon Phillips who cried like a baby and went to the papers when he didn't get a deal before Votto, but when a veteran outfielder goes to the papers to get people to come to the games and support the team this weekend, its the end of the world. And I know.. they got 40k there last night and they lost. Again, if you have no perspective, your not a baseball fan. What happened when the best team in baseball (atleast at the time) came to town and we packed the house? We took 2-3 from the Dodgers. 1 of which from the best pitcher in the game. Nobody said it makes you play better, Ludwick never said that. All he did was ask why we don't have a playoff atmosphere during the last stretch of the season for a playoff team. Stop putting words in his mouth!

How did a record crowd help the team last night? Yea thought so.

And thank you for proving my point. What did I just say? And are you really that shallow that 1 game out of 160 so far is the be all of all games? Or maybe just maybe its because that's the first sellout since Ludwick said something, and all you guys are doing is proving why this really isn't a baseball town.

What you just did is the equivalent of me getting on here now and saying "oh look at that, packed house, and it just energized the team, now im right". Point is, we can go back and forth for an entire season with these trends. But that's just ignorant. You can not take 1 game and make a generalization about an entire 162 game season.

I agree, it is not a baseball town. The mid 90's thru 2010 took care of that. They lost a whole generation of fans with that putrid stretch...

Just cheer every time the pirates homer -- PROBLEM SOLVED -- .

and thank you for proving how ignorant some Reds fans can be. This isn't a baseball town. It used to be when they won on a consistent basis but how long has it been since they even won a playoff series? Do me a favor and don't try and make is feel sorry for an overpaid left fielder who isn't worth his weight in dimes.

 

Ludwig said it and if he can't take the consequences for what he said them he should keep his mouth shut.

What did it do? Make the pirates go on top 6-3 lol. Good try but you're right it's our fault the reds can't win when they need to. Don't blame the team, blame the fans lol. Classic

And I can see from your last post you don't read well.. Again as I asked before show me where Ludwick ever said the fans make them win. You can't. Because your putting words in the guys mouth. And again love him or hate him he's making 7.5 million this year and your on a forum saying he sucks. Good call. An to your 6-3 comment. Again, proving my point. We can go back an forth all day. But again, it was never said.

What does the stupidity of the Reds paying him 7.5 have anything to do with it. Point is Luddy should have just have kept his mouth shut instead of going 0fer against the Pirates.

You're right. It's now 7-1. Way to go fans!!!! You cost is any chance from having the wildcats game at home.

 

Ludwig would be proud.
