If that went into the crowd, would Alexei have been awarded home?

That a boy Gordon! Come on Dunn, just a flare.

QUOTE (Wanne @ Apr 16, 2011 -> 01:58 AM) who hasn't. good god...Ozzie thinks he's got Cy Young on the hill. Between Humber on the mound and our bullpen, it's comical playing for one run in the 3rd inning (especially with Pierre up next who can't hit the ball far enough for a sac fly).

STOP BUNTING! Morel's failed twice bunting already this season.

Excellent base running by AJP. Morel's going to be asked to bunt here....oh boy

Timely DP!

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Apr 16, 2011 -> 01:45 AM) no s***, talk about a bad draw! as I said earlier, we also get Verlander and Scherzer next week. Be nice for Dunn to get going again.

It's totally nuts that we will have faced Cahill, Anderson, Weaver, Haren and Price in 5 out of 6 games.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Apr 16, 2011 -> 01:42 AM) nice AB carlos Weaver on cruise control

Get some runs

Humber's command is awful tonight.

Jeez Alexei..that should have been an error. AJP can't catch Humber, as he's dropped 3 pitches already.

Ugh, didn't realize that Tampa's postponed game the other day meant we'll face Price next week. We get Price, Verlander and Scherzer next week, as we can't catch a break with pitching match-ups.

Humber's up in the zone a lot tonight. Seems to be overthrowing, but threw a nice curve to Abreu.

Had no idea we play 30 out of 43 games on the road starting Monday.

Bad weather leading to no one at the game. Hopefully we get some good weather tomorrow and Sunday.

Mauer to the DL

J4L...looks like Cubs will miss your boyfriend, Kershaw, when they play later this month.

Nick Masset has 3 of the Reds 4 losses this season.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 14, 2011 -> 12:34 AM) The Astros shoud be contracted. As a former Astros fan (easily my second favorite team from '97 through '05), it's sad to see what's happened to them. It's basically Hunter Pence, Wandy Rodriguez, maybe Brett Myers and AAA garbage. Myers is a hell of a lot better than Wandy

No problem with pulling Danks, but pulling Buehrle was a dumb move on Monday. Who knows, maybe Thornton has more confidence if Monday night's shenaningans never happen and we sweep Oakland.

QUOTE (Paint it Black @ Apr 13, 2011 -> 10:17 PM) Plus, is Thornton really struggling? 2 of his blown saves the defense gave the opponent four or more outs. Yes, the swings people are getting against him are better ones than we're used to seeing against him.

QUOTE (kapzk @ Apr 13, 2011 -> 11:03 PM) I think there is way too much panic here ... I look at it as a good thing that we have blown these games early so that we can actually iron out the pen and put the guys in the correct places. I know it sucks to lose these games especially in this manner, but i think it may help in the long run of the season. What we have learned is that Thornton sucks right now, so we yank him out of the closers role and put Santos in. This may be a great thing in the long overhaul of the season. Only time will tell how Santos will perform. But again its only April 13th, ton of baseball left to play, and heck we are 7-5 while Detroit and Minnesota are atleast 2.5 games behind us at the moment. On the downside however we have a tough schedule coming up, with the Angels top pitchers up against us. There is nothing positive about Thornton's struggles. If Sale can't be an impact reliever, then we're totally wasting a year of development of his.

Our relievers besides Santos and Crain have given up the same amount of runs as our starters have.

How long before we start hearing that KW is interested in promoting Petricka to help the bullpen?
