    Just saw the replay on ESPN, he DEFINITELY should have caught that ball. It was all but in his glove.

    Leaving Lincoln in for 3 innings, just so he could qualify for a save is fucking stupid.
    Using Owings as a Pinch Hitter instead of Rolen or Heisey, just because Owings is from Atlanta is fucking stupid.
    Not replacing Nix with Heisey and OCab with Janish as late inning defensive replacements is fucking stupid.
    Pulling the best reliever the team has (Rhodes) in a pressure situation is fucking stupid.
    Dusty is fucking stupid.

    I thought the game was already over after reading this post.

    Or how about Gomes as a pinch hitter.

    Seriously fuck this game. And fuck the whole bullpen. That was embarrassing. Fucking pretenders. 8 run lead and lets fucking play around and commit 4 fucking errors even though we're the best defensive team in the National League. Fuck the defense, fuck the bullpen, fuck Dusty, and fuck the offense for putting it on cruise control after the 2nd. This team isn't hungry to win, they think its fucking owed to them. They should be embarrassed, cuz I sure as hell am. Its only one game. One game that exposed the bullpen. One game that dropped us out of first place. One game where we showed we aren't as good as we've been playing.

    What the fuck, the team melted down, why can't I?!

    The 2nd and 3rd time I watched it he should have had it for sure.

    I was just STARTING to enjoy the Reds.....now this is just 1 game.......beating the Cardinals in thrilling fashion and the supporters were amuck......that game and today are simply 1 game and have equaled each other out......the key is how will the Reds repond in their next game.

    Glad to see the best defensive 3B of the past 15 years didn't get inserted in the 9th. Cairo looked good.


    Dusty has always had trouble on when to pull a pitcher....he's still Dusty and it'll take a lot more than 2 good weeks to change that with me.
  • wildcats20
    IMO..now I didn't watch any of it...but still...

    There should have been NO WAY, SHAPE, or FORM that the Reds lost this game. Oh wait, that form, shape and way is Dusty "Worst Manager in Baseball" Baker.,
  • karen lotz
    No credit to the Braves for coming back? Brooks Conrad is a future all star.
  • wildcats20
    Oh obviously credit is definitely due to the Braves for sticking together and battling back. Hats off no doubt. Didn't mean my post to sound like that.

    But when the Reds have a back end of the bullpen like they have had this year, there is no way(IMO) a 6 run lead should ever be in question.
  • karen lotz
    I know, I was just joking. I agree I thought the game was over in the 2nd inning when Hanson failed to get Leake to end the inning. With Leake on the mound and the Brave's getting completely shut down at times by a hot pitcher, it didn't look good at all.

    FUCKING JANISH AND ROLEN SITTING THE BENCH WATCHING TWEEDLE DEE AND TWEEDLE DUMBFUCK PLAY BAD NEWS BEARS.

    They should play this fucking song during the highlights tonight:

  • wildcats20
    Also....

    Arty got Heyward out...WHY THE FUCK DID DUSTY BRING IN COCO?!?!?!?
  • wildcats20
    And all Dusty can say is, "It was a horrible ending. Boy, that was a tough one."

    Go to hell Dusty.

    thank you for this link, I've always wondered what that was and knew it was from Benny Hill but was too lazy to look it up.

    This was playing in Reds clubhouse following the game.

    Dusty is a players manager, and was trying to get a save for someone on his team, and Lincoln was the only gut who could start the ninth and qualify for the save!

    ANY combination of the pitchers outta the BP should be able to hold onto that lead. Iw ouldnt blame the manager here....blame the players for a piss poor execution.
    Not to mention the 3 outs that could have been had with good plays that each ended up being a run, culminated with what could have been close to being ruled a four base error with no RBIs to end the game.

    “I hope this day doesn’t come back,” Baker said. “It’s tough to take . . . the whole day was shocking. We gave them the first three runs. ”

    "The first three runs" is what he is worried about?! How about the complete implosion of your bullpen and defense in the ninth, you stupid jackass?! I have second-guessed his decision-making all year long, but I am not going to do that today. What I thnk is more telling, is the fact that this fool won't even focus on the real problem. Either he is completely brain-dead and doesn't realize how big a problem the 9th inning meltdown was or he thinks everybody else is stupid enough to believe the bovine fecal matter that he his spewing.
  • Rotinaj
    Still upset about this game. They better win 8 of 10 of these next games...They are playing 3 of the 4 worst teams in the league. Pitt is -101 in run diff, Houston -68 and Cle -42.

    Because we literally GAVE them the first 3 runs.....on errors mostly.

    While that is true, it should not be the manager's focus after a complete disaster of a ninth. The way they played that inning, I could have seen the Braves scoring 15. When you have an epic failure like their ninth, nobody cares about some errors in the third and fifth innings. It looks like ignorance or denial. Both are unacceptable.

    HAHA, Baker put in Timmy Lupus and Ogilvie. He took Amanda (Leak) off the mound for Rudi Stein (Lincoln).

    ttt

    In a long season you will have these games go for you and go against you.......it's the response the next days that matters and thus far this group has answered as needed.


    More of this stull will happen.....they have to continue to answer better than the other crappy teams of the NL Central.

    How soon we forget.
