ArmyBengal Posted July 16, 2023 Author Report Posted July 16, 2023 Boy the Brewers just have the Reds number. 3 straight shutout losses and striking out a buttload in the process. 1 Quote
ArmyBengal Posted July 16, 2023 Author Report Posted July 16, 2023 Then today they break out of the scoring slump, take a lead into the 6th or 7th, only to lose the game. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted July 17, 2023 Author Report Posted July 17, 2023 It’s just the Brewers they’ve had issues with. I’m not about to knock them either. They have solid pitching from starters to relievers. We have, well…. Our pitching staff. About as night and day as you can get. 1 Quote
ArmyBengal Posted July 26, 2023 Author Report Posted July 26, 2023 Well the Reds finally get a win over the Brewers. They take a 4 run lead into the 9th inning only to have it cut to 4-3. Half a game back with the last game of the series happening this afternoon. Quote
HoosierCat Posted July 29, 2023 Report Posted July 29, 2023 Bell extended through 2026. https://www.mlb.com/reds/news/david-bell-reds-extension Quote
ArmyBengal Posted July 29, 2023 Author Report Posted July 29, 2023 And again when the Reds don’t play the Brewers, they win. 6-5 against the Dodgers in the series opener. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted July 31, 2023 Author Report Posted July 31, 2023 The Reds take the series against the Dodgers, the Brewers aren’t consistent unless playing the Reds and here we are back in first place again. NICE !! 1 Quote
ArmyBengal Posted August 1, 2023 Author Report Posted August 1, 2023 And somehow the Brewers get beat by the Nationals who suck ass and we win the opener against the Cubbies. 1.5 games in first place. Who would have guessed that on the 1st of August the Reds would be in first place? HINT - NO ONE !! Quote
HoosierCat Posted August 1, 2023 Report Posted August 1, 2023 Let’s see if they can hang in there! Quote
ArmyBengal Posted August 1, 2023 Author Report Posted August 1, 2023 They also traded for a reliever, but I can't say as I know much about Sam Moll, outside of him being a lefty, which we needed. The cost for Moll was a RHP who was rated #28 in our farm system. Joe Boyle. 1 Quote
ArmyBengal Posted August 2, 2023 Author Report Posted August 2, 2023 Soooooo… When was the last time a team scored 9 runs and lost by 11 ?? Some nights, it’s just not your night. 1 Quote
ArmyBengal Posted August 3, 2023 Author Report Posted August 3, 2023 They follow that one up with another ass whooping !! They have now given up 36 run in the last two games. Pitching anyone ?? Maybe we have a new venture for TJ’s dead gramma !! Quote
ArmyBengal Posted August 6, 2023 Author Report Posted August 6, 2023 “OH NO, WE SUCK AGAIN” !! 1 Quote
ArmyBengal Posted September 14, 2023 Author Report Posted September 14, 2023 Well, just when I thought the Reds were going to fade out of contention, they get India and Votto back, along with a solid start from another rookie pitcher. With another win last night, they are now tied for the last wild card spot and are still firmly in a position to get into the playoffs with just over two weeks to go. Quote
HoosierCat Posted September 15, 2023 Report Posted September 15, 2023 Just the fact they're in contention at all is amazing given expectations at the beginning of the season. Even if they don't make it into the postseason (and if they do I wouldn't expect them to go anywhere) it's been a very promising year. If this team can get some pitching -- any pitching! -- it might actually contend for real. 1 Quote
ArmyBengal Posted September 15, 2023 Author Report Posted September 15, 2023 Agree completely Hoosier. It was suppose to be a cellar-dweller kind of season and here they are still in the mix with two weeks remaining. The fact they have done that largely with rookies at damn near every position speaks highly of the future of this team. YES, pitching. Get it however you can. Just get it and watch GABP sell out all season long as they continue to contend in the future. I wonder if ownership has pulled their heads out of their asses about the franchise being capable of profitability? Amazing how putting a winning product on the field directly correlates with butts in seats and merch sales. 1 Quote
HoosierCat Posted September 27, 2023 Report Posted September 27, 2023 5 days left in the season and they're still alive, somehow. https://www.cincinnati.com/story/sports/mlb/reds/2023/09/27/what-cincinnati-reds-need-to-happen-next-in-playoff-push-after-big-win/70977025007/ Quote
ArmyBengal Posted September 28, 2023 Author Report Posted September 28, 2023 Well they lost tonight. UGH !! 1 Quote
ArmyBengal Posted September 28, 2023 Author Report Posted September 28, 2023 They aren't out of it quite yet though. They are a game and a half out of the last wild card spot. They need the Cubs and the Marlins to lose for them to have a chance. The Cubs and Marlins have 4 games remaining and the Reds have 3. Any way around, this season was fun for much longer than I recall a Reds season being in a long time. They are young and need some pitching heading into next year. If they can do that, they should be in it next year too. This is a young team with a lot of talent. 1 Quote
ArmyBengal Posted October 1, 2023 Author Report Posted October 1, 2023 And the season comes to an end tonight. All around it’s hard to be disappointed. Most people expected them to be in the basement most of the season. No one made a projection of them still being in the race with 3 games remaining in the season. Get some rest, some pitching, and get after it in 2024 !! 1 Quote
HoosierCat Posted October 26, 2023 Report Posted October 26, 2023 Dusty Baker calls it a career. https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/dusty-baker-announces-retirement-after-26-years-as-manager-baseball-has-been-my-life/ Always liked him. Pity he couldn’t get that 2010 team over the top. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted October 26, 2023 Author Report Posted October 26, 2023 Agreed and wish him nothing but the best. Crazy to think he's spent the majority of his life either playing (19 years) or managing (26 years) baseball. He was drafted by the Braves before I was born in 1967. Not to mention he served for the Marine Reserves from 1969-1975, which I was not aware of. At 74 years old, he's more than earned his retirement !! 1 Quote
HoosierCat Posted November 4, 2023 Report Posted November 4, 2023 End of an era. https://www.mlb.com/news/joey-votto-is-free-agent-after-buyout-from-reds Quote
