No reason to screw around, give up the runs you just got AND the lead all in one swing.

 

CONGRATS! :lol:

It's a shame players don't run down the line.

Who didn't run down the line?

Hopper on the bobble by Durham.

He looked like he was running down the line to me.

Ricky makes sure its over. Back to Back homeruns.

Reds get a run back atleast.

What a nice job to get out of that mess.

Who are the pitching scouts in this organization? Our only decent pitchers are all imports. How can all of our relievers suck across the board?

Because they are either really young or really old.

Ok so where are the young talented bullpen guys?

You can't expect AAA guys with some talent that a brought up here out of necessity to preform at a hight rate. Geezzz you sound like a UK fan. Oh wait.... :D It has ok talent it's not special though.

There's a reason why Ricky Stone was out of baseball last season.

But, heck, he can get AAA guys out...

Unlike Big Bob who said last night that the team has not given up on this season, I have. The Reds need to utilize the rest of the season on seeing where young players stand. There is no need for Stanton. No need for Ricky Stone. If Hatteberg and/or Conine are not in the plans for next season, move them and get Votto some ABs. Move Lohse to middle relief in Stone's spot. Get Dumatrait and Livingston innings as starters.
