ArmyBengal Posted April 18, 2013 Report Posted April 18, 2013 The Reds start up a 4 game series tonight against the Marlins.Something to watch in the opener ?? Cingrani gets the start tonight in place of Cueto.Here's to hoping they continue the way they did against the Phillies.GO REDS !!! Quote
ArmyBengal Posted April 19, 2013 Author Report Posted April 19, 2013 Cingrani pitches a solid 5 innings giving up a single run by way of a homer, but struck out 8 over that 5 innings.If his pitch count wouldn't have gotten so high, he might have stayed in longer.I was happy to see the bullpen get him his first win.Another nice night of hitting. However, the Marlins looked like a high school team out there.God that is a team that just looks a mess. The uniforms don't help that thought either. Quote
skyline Posted April 19, 2013 Report Posted April 19, 2013 How about bat boy Teddy last night? Made me smile more than anything else I've seen in a very long time. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted April 19, 2013 Author Report Posted April 19, 2013 How about bat boy Teddy last night? Made me smile more than anything else I've seen in a very long time.Yeah that was awesome.I heard on the way in today that before Frasier went up to bat, Teddy said, "Hit one for me" or something along that line.Frasier then proceeded to crush the ball into deep center for the dinger.Very cool...

Then, he did...you can watch the videos online to see Teddy's celebration afterwards. There was also an interview on sportscenter this morning with Frasier and Teddy after the game, but I haven't been able to track that one down online. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted April 19, 2013 Author Report Posted April 19, 2013 That's just awesome.I love seeing teams do stuff like that.Pure joy is something you don't see very often. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted April 19, 2013 Author Report Posted April 19, 2013 Here's the first video of Frasier hitting the homer./>http://cincinnati.reds.mlb.com/video/play.jsp?c_id=cin&content_id=26392353&topic_id=8877984 Quote
ArmyBengal Posted April 20, 2013 Author Report Posted April 20, 2013 Chapman gives up a homerun in the top of the 9th.WTF is going on ??2-1 Marlins, still in the top of the 9th. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted April 20, 2013 Author Report Posted April 20, 2013 Who would have guessed Chapman would give up a homerun and the Reds lose to the Marlins ??Crazy !!! Quote
skyline Posted April 20, 2013 Report Posted April 20, 2013 I'm far less disturbed by Chapman's HR and far more upset by the Reds' complete lack of offense. It amazes me how they can go from an 11 run outburst to basically zilch the next day. That's baseball, I know, but it's frustrating.And once again...I know he does this every year. It's nothing to worry about. But come on, Joey! It's time to get with it! Sheesh... Quote
ArmyBengal Posted April 20, 2013 Author Report Posted April 20, 2013 Yeah, just saying I didn't see that one coming.Votto's issues and the rest of the team putting up 8+ runs with seeming ease and then nothing is irritating.Votto just looked stupid at the plate yesterday. Quote
Stripes Posted April 20, 2013 Report Posted April 20, 2013 Heisey looks stupid at the plate every day. :frustrated:/> Quote
ArmyBengal Posted April 20, 2013 Author Report Posted April 20, 2013 Yeah, that trend has continued today as well.Not for Votto though. Quote
Stripes Posted April 20, 2013 Report Posted April 20, 2013 This team is driving me f**king crazy. :lol:/> Quote
ArmyBengal Posted April 20, 2013 Author Report Posted April 20, 2013 Reds get the win in the 13th.Good God. Quote
redsbengalsbucks Posted April 20, 2013 Report Posted April 20, 2013 Yeah, just saying I didn't see that one coming.Votto's issues and the rest of the team putting up 8+ runs with seeming ease and then nothing is irritating.Votto just looked stupid at the plate yesterday.It is a good thing to have a player that is hitting above .275, be a dissapointment at the plate. Quote
Stripes Posted April 20, 2013 Report Posted April 20, 2013 Votto's slow start has been half him and half the pitchers being terrified of him. He has twice as many walks as any other player in the entire NL.Nice to see him get going today, hopefully it continues. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted April 21, 2013 Author Report Posted April 21, 2013 Yeah, just saying I didn't see that one coming.Votto's issues and the rest of the team putting up 8+ runs with seeming ease and then nothing is irritating.Votto just looked stupid at the plate yesterday.It is a good thing to have a player that is hitting above .275, be a dissapointment at the plate.Yeah, it's a good thing he pulled his head out of his ass today !!!

And another HR to start his day off today.Looks like pitchers across the league need to start getting worried. Moreso than they already were, that is. Quote
Stripes Posted April 21, 2013 Report Posted April 21, 2013 Votto's OPS jumped from the mid .800s back over 1.000 in like four at-bats. He's back. Quote
Stripes Posted April 21, 2013 Report Posted April 21, 2013 Boy do I love it when this offense blows up. It could really happen so much more consistently if either Paul or Heisey would start putting together more productive at-bats. Quote
Earendil Posted April 22, 2013 Report Posted April 22, 2013 How good has Choo been? He's made a huge difference at the top of the order. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted April 22, 2013 Author Report Posted April 22, 2013 Choo has been amazing to this point in the season.He's a difference maker in the lineup for sure.As much as I might want to see Billy Hamilton and his wheels, the Reds would be best served trying to work a long term deal with him.It's simply to difficult to find a guy that changes the dynamic of your lineup as much as Choo has. Quote
redsbengalsbucks Posted April 22, 2013 Report Posted April 22, 2013 After Cozart took the pitch off his fingers, I was wondering if Hamilton might be put back at SS and brought up. Quote
