June 30, 200719 yr Another great game by Bronson.I agree with Brantley, regarding his frequency of throwing too much off-speed stuff. His FB, is consistently 91-92 and perhaps, the best breaking stuff in the NL. Needs to establish the FB and use the off-speed, to set-up a hitter.
June 30, 200719 yr I lay down with the Reds up going into the bottom of the 7th, Bronson with an outstanding performance. I wake up and see the final, just WOW. I have actually run out of adjectives to describe how "awesome" this team is, truly amazing. :lol:
June 30, 200719 yr Has anyone researched what the record would be if the inning that shall not be named was removed from every game? Just curious.
June 30, 200719 yr Has anyone researched what the record would be if the inning that shall not be named was removed from every game? Just curious. I have got nothing else to do, I can start looking it up. Before I look, I'm going to venture a guess that they would be at 500 or better. I know they won the close game at Philly in the 2nd game of the series, but it seems like EVERY GAME that is tied or close going into the last 3 innings they lose.
June 30, 200719 yr I'm going to go ahead and refer to the last 3 innings of a game that they ended up losing or a game that got "out of hand" at that point. April 4th against the Cubs, gave up 2 in the 8th, lost game 4-1. April 8th against the Pirates, gave up 1 in 8th, 1 in the 9th lost 6-3 April 9th against Arizona, gave up 1 in the 7th, 1 in the 8th, lost 3-2 April 16th against Brewers, gave up 5 in the 7th, 1 in the 9th, lost 10-6 April 18th against Houston, gave up 5 in the 8th, 1 in the 9th, lost 7-2 April 19th against Houston, gave up 1 in the 7th, 5 in the 8th, 1 in the 9th lost 8-6 April 22nd against Phillies, gave up 1 in the 7th, 4 in the 9th, lost 9-3 April 25th against St Louis, gave up 4 in the 8th, lost 5-2 April 26th against St Louis, gave up 1 in the 7th, 1 in the 8th, lost 7-5 May 3rd against Houston, gave up 3 in the 8th, lost 7-5 May 5th against Colorado, gave up 3 in the 7th, lost 9-7 May 7th against Houston, gave up 3 in the 8th, lost 5-4 May 8th against Houston, gave up 1 in the 7th, 1 in the 9th, lost 7-6 May 13th against Dodgers, gave up 5 in the 8th, lost 10-5 May 16th against Padres, gave up 1 in the 7th, 1 in the 9th, lost 3-2 The "infamous" Arroyo complete game May 22nd against Washington, gave up 1 in the 7th, 4 in the 8th, lost 8-4 May 23rd against Washington, gave up 2 in the 7th, 3 in the 8th, lost 12-7 May 25th against Pirates, gave up 8 runs in the 10th, lost 10-4 May 26th against Pirates, gave up 2 in the 9th, lost 9-5 May 27th against Pirates, gave up 3 in the 8th, lost 14-10 June 3rd against Colorado, gave up 2 in the 6th, 1 in the 7th, 4 in the 8th and 1 in the 10th, lost 10-9 We all remember THAT game too well. June 5th against St Louis, gave up 1 in the 9th, lost 4-3 June 6th against St Louis, gave up 3 in the 7th, lost 6-4 June 9th against Cleveland, gave up 1 in the 7th, 2 in 8th, 2 in 11th, lost 8-6 June 13th against Angels, gave up 1 in the 8th, 1 in the 9th, lost 6-3 June 14th against Angels, gave up 6 in the 7th, lost 9-7 June 20th against Oakland, gave up 2 in the 7th, 1 in 8th, lost 5-3 June 24th against Seattle, gave up 1 in the 7th, lost 3-2 June 28th against Phillies, gave up 1 in the 8th, 1 in the 10th, lost 8-7 June 29th against Cardinals, gave up 3 in the 8th, lost 4-2 This doesn't say anything that we don't already know. A: The Reds are REALLY struggling this year B: I have NOTHING else to do at 2am. :lol: My math is bad, but that comes out to THIRTY games they have given away or gotten out of hand late. That doesn't count games where they gave up the lead, came back and won. I know you can't win EVERY close game, but if they had won HALF those games, that puts them 45-35, they are 30-50 now. Unbelievable. Anyway, nothing we don't already know, but even more frustrating looking at it from THAT perspective with all the games in front of you they have given away.
June 30, 200719 yr So is MLB like the NFL with regards to the draft. If things hold to form will the Reds be getting the #1 pick next season? Or is there some kind of lottery?
