That's really good pitching that deep in a game. Love Blaine Walters. Fun kid to watch pitch. Conner has to be kicking themselves for pitching Nick against Boone and not tonight. Wouldn't you say?

Conner gave up two runs in 13 innings, I'd say pitching wasn't the issue. Not sure where he would have made huge difference if he was on mound.

Game was rained out at Campbell and in order to move game to another location, Campbell would have to order buses. They couldn't get one on short notice on a Saturday so they gave Highlands the victory so finals could be finished. Neither Highlands or Campbell is allowed to play on a Sunday.

Would like to know how many teammates have played together for 10 or more years?

You just defined a leader, not a hitter. I'll grant you Tony was the better leader for sure. But hitting has nothing to do with reigning in egos, having fans love them, etc...

How do you know Votto doesn't love baseball? He obviously works at this craft. And he can't be in HOF cause he's still playing. 3 or 4 more years at present rate and he has a chance.

One last thing. Tony played with reds mostly pre FA. He had same teammates for years. If he had played in this era no way Cincy keeps those guys together. Votto had small window to win and they came close. Hopefully he has one more shot in next few years

Let's just wait and see Joey numbers when he plays as many years as Tony did. O, and since baseball is more of a team game, just how many rings does Joey have and in this area who do you think is much more respected by the fans, as a leader and team player! Joey or Tony?

Question wasn't who was a better leader or had more rings. It is who is the better hitter. It isn't close.

If you're a small market team you do what you have to in order to get extra year of service. Reds aren't going anywhere this year but they could be in year or two.

How many frosh and JV championships is this now for the Colonels in the last 15 or so years? Seems like a lot.

Jv 2005, 15 and 17 with runner ups in 07, 08, 10 and 16.

Frosh in 11, 15, 16 and 17.

Did Stallman pitch any other JV games this year? I've seen him several times in the Varsity box scores.

He was 4-0 for jv. Pitched varsity early in year and mostly jv last month.

Congrats to the BlueBoys.

 

Only report I got was the Birds kicked the ball around a lot.

Highlands did indeed have four or five errors, maybe more. CCH had some timely hits and put down three or four very nice bunt hits. They kept the pressure on.

Colonels had no errors and got a nice pitching effort from Stallman.

Had a 1500 and 2500 as my former trucks. Liked both. My current is a Tundra and I love it. Just over two and half years old at 103,000 and have changed oil and brake pads. Obviously I drive a lot for work. At 80,000 my 2500 was on third fuel pump. When those go out on interstate it's a little scary. No warning.

Lloyd Bridges and Leslie Nielsen were both known for dramatic roles and then starred in Airplane. They were re cast from then on as comedic actors. Funny movie

OK let's here it, since you have been following the Reds, what would be your personal Starting Rotation. Maybe not even the best but the five starters you'd pick that have been Reds since you became a fan...but the ones you loved to watch pitch!

 

My 5...

 

Jose Rijo...Got the Reds a Title and was dominant doing it.

Don Gullett...1st Pitcher that I was really a huge fan of as a kid.

Mario Soto...Maybe my favorite Reds Pitcher of all time.

Johnny Cueto...I LOVE Johnny Cueto!

Tom Seaver...Past his Prime but had some solid years as a Red.

My top 5 as well which probably means we are of similar age. However, Seaver was still in his prime, albeit the end of it. His numbers are unreal with Reds except last year. He is my favorite pitcher ever with Soto a close 2nd. Johnny Bench said there were great pitchers he caught and then there was Seaver. Considering he played in a bunch of all star games that's a huge compliment.

While I hate the woo, it doesn't bother me nearly as much as having the idiot behind you that thinks they know everything about the game, but after listening to them for about 5 seconds you clearly realize they don't know squat. And they don't shut up the whole game.

So you're bothered by about half of those in attendance, correct?

CCH is a really fun team to watch. You can tell they all get along, they play hard and the senior class is showing unbelievable leadership. Checked their egos at the door and the junior class picked up on it as well as the three sophomores

I never got the stadium and the field having different names thing. Kind of one entity, at least to me.

And what's even stranger is taking the money donated for the naming rights to the baseball field and putting it towards the football/soccer stadium.

As a driver he was probably a little above average. At Daytona and Talledega he's one of the best ever, underrated at short tracks but not real good at cookie cutters ( the tracks that caused me to quit watching weekly ).

What he did do, more than anyone probably ever, is put butts in seats. More than Gordo, King and even Pop maybe. With him gone next year, stands may not be shown on broadcasts if possible. When he races few Xfinity races next year, look for bigger than average crowds.

Just a regular season game but Adam Dunn's grand slam against Cleveland in 9th at GABP was maybe my favorite Marty call ever. I think it capped an 8 or 9 run comeback in last two innings.

SK is in the 8th region.

You're right. I was talking NKY and paid no attention to fact it was 9th region thread. My mistake.

Frosh games were all rained out today at Dixie. Even still, the event raised $25,000 for the Ken Anderson Alliance according to Coach Michels. It has now raised 100k in 5 years. That's incredible at any level but consider it's been jv and it's mind blowing. And that's with the frosh games rained out last two years and almost zero coverage from local media even though they've tried to get them to support it.

Congrats to all. Saw lot of former players up there last weekend.

Took my future wife to WWE on one of our first dates. She must have known I was a romantic devil right then!!

Also was there right after high school for wrestling. Think it was NWA but I was in concourse and heard door slamming from outside. Went and opened and it was Sting, Luther and Steiners. Showed them where locker room was and Scott Steiner was an idiot- Lex actually apologized.

In 2014 we were doing work just outside arena. At lunch I sat down next to building in shade and security guard asked if I wanted to go inside. I gladly accepted and he showed me where Beatles, Big O and others were at one time. Awesome!! Sad also. Shame it's going away.

Did anyone see in the enquirer this week the article written by I believe Dehner where he sees a scenario where Bengals trade AJ to Browns? Zero chance that happens I would believe. On a national scale, I'm suprised at the lack of talk about him being traded. JG from Pats seems to get it all.

Seed game?

Didn't make it. Sounds like a good ol good one. Love those games way more than 9-8.

Let's see.......no handle, can't shoot, tweener size wise, prone to turnovers, and slow......bad move by this young man and not even sure he can play in Euro League

And you played where to have such an expert opinion?

Thank you. I just changed my ocean plans this summer. Feet in water and a pool sound good!!
