Reds at Pirates 9/04 - 9/06

[16thBBall Fan]

Time for Votto to become full time DH!!!!!

[16thBBall Fan]

Bauer letting loose in the dugout and he should, this team needs to show some fire

My boy Aquino had a hit, walk and run scored in the first game and sitting out this one, typical Bell!!

Davidson 1-24 and Mr. Rogers hits him instead of Aquino, typical, typical, typical!!!

Votto error on an easy toss allowed the Pirates three runs and probably a win.  Votto also made a fielding error in the first game on a throw from Farmer that bought took his head off.  Of course, they gave the error to Farmer.  Bauer not happy when he got into the dugout.  This is the kind of stuff why Reds can not go on a long win streak and has no shot at the Playoffs.

Yes and that was the ball game.  We got the bottom three in the last inning.

Reds lose.  It is tough to win giving up three unearned runs.  Loss square on Joey Votto's shoulders.  Your LEADER!!!!!!!!

Why hit Barnhardt instead of Aquino?

[16thBBall Fan]

As I’ve said several times, more boneheaded plays and managerial moves than I’ve EVER seen, and I’ve been watching baseball for 50 years now, this was an EASY sweep!!!

How many throws do you have to drop at first before the manager takes you off there???

anybody know?????

Bell is a complete JOKE and everybody knows it, HOW he’s not been fired is truly a mystery!

I suspect that Joey, due to his longevity on the team, commands an intimidation factor when it comes to Bell's handling of him.  I suspect that Joey has first call on what Joey does or does not do, and I imagine that Joey still has a rather high opinion of himself. .

I'm thinking the recent benching might have been more Joey's doing, than Bell's.

I’m sure you’re right on a lot of that, especially Votto’s high opinion of himself, he was hitting .065 with no homers or RBI’s on the road before last night but he did go 1-5 on the evening so his average shot up!!!

[16thBBall Fan]

TYPICAL AGAIN, no Aquino in the lineup, Mr. Rogers making out the lineup!!

His opinion of himself could be like my golf game.  I know I'm a mid-nineties player, but I always shoot 105.

LOL, love that one!!
