[nkuclubbaseball19]

Reds up 3-1 in the bottom of 4th. They have runners on second and third with one out and the top of the lineup coming up.

 

Liriano is struggling tonight.

And he's the closer.... Oh boy

[HammerTime]

Bryan Price ladies and gents.

What happened?

What happened?

 

Nothing unusual, just Hoover being Hoover... Served up a grand slam to Marte

[TheDeuce]

This one's on me fellas. :lol2:

This is on Olendorf. Two outs and nobody on base and you walk and a hit batter. Then an infield single. Price should have left Cingiani in to pitch the eighth. Instead, he lets a guy pitch the eighth who just got picked up off the scrap heap. Hoover gets beat with the curve instead of the fastball. Do you expect to come in and throw your best curve ball on your first pitch. Marte thought it was good.

Ohlendorf definitely didn't help, but, is Hoover seriously their best option?

Batters hit .448 off Hoover when bases are juiced.

For now... He won't be around as they become contenders in the next 3-4 years. Probably as soon as next season.

[MJAlltheWay24]

Don't have any real expectations for the season, but hate seeing them give away games.

We can only hope

[SnottieDrippen]

We can only hope

 

Right? That was an optimistic prediction...
