  Hoping for another win!

  should be another good one. Reds played pretty well last night( I was tuning in as AJ Burnett was getting raped by the D'Backs)

  Mr Perfect to Mr Pathetic the last few times out for Braden. Hopefully the bats are alive and the Reds make it 2/2 vs Oakland.

  Braden had a nice start to his season, but you had to figure a little bit of his great success was luck. He pitches to contact and doesn't have overwhelming stuff.
  
  I like our chances tonight

  Dusty on Cordero:
  
  "Hopefully, we don’t need him tonight.”
  
  Uhhhhh no Dusty, when you use your closer, that usually means you are winning the game late. So you definitely want to use him tonight.

  LOL Bout to post the same thing. I still love you Joe but he grates my nerves
• Ironman92

  

  I wish Joe was the manager and Brantley was the pitching coach.......and yes I'm serious
  
  
  both can get a little tough to listen as can just about anyone....but those guys know their stuff....especially Morgan
• wildcats20

  

  The only downside of the Cowboy being the pitching coach is we wouldn't get him in the booth anymore.

  You meant upside right?
• wildcats20

  

  Nope, I like the Cowboy in the booth
• jordo212000

  

  I don't mind Joe Morgan. He's better than Chris Welsh. I wish the Cowboy did TV more often
• mhs95_06

  Corky with a big 2 RBI two out hit to pick up Heisey who had a very bad AB with runners at 2nd and 3rd and one out! Stubbs actually got a bunt down, but what was that jump he took to first base?
• wildcats20

  

  Thom and the Cowboy have great chemistry and make a great pair.
  
  Whole lot better than Thom and Chris who hate each other.
• Ironman92

  

  Conor Jackson just missed making one hell of a catch!.....good for Corky...he's ripped several balls that were caught
• Ironman92

  

  Thom and Chris both want to be the man......Thom and Brantley make a great team of announcers......but I'd rather ahve someone who knows how to make pitchers without great stuff very effective pitchers.......Brantley really knows pitching....I believe he would help greatly.
• Ironman92

  

  again....Joe really knows his stuff and I agree with almost everything he says......but man you can't do poems in the booth....WOW!
  
  The info in the poem makes sense....but man just put it into words.
• wildcats20

  

  And Joey with a nice double to the gap, scoring BP.
  
  3-0
• SportsAndLady

  

  1st and 2nd w/ 0 outs and failing to get in 1 run might come back to haunt
• Ironman92

  

  BP''s hammy looks completely fine.....Dusty shouldn't overdo him if a game gets out of hand one way or the other....and a day off once every 2 weeks or so
• jordo212000

  

  Crisp with the 2 run dinger
  3-2
• jordo212000

  

  Welsh doesn't seem like he knows what his role is tonight. Morgan keeps talking where Welsh normally chimes in and by the time he is done, Keels has to take over for the play by play. It's creating situations where you have Morgan and Welsh trying to talk over each other. Maybe this is why you don't see too many 3 man booths for baseball
• Ironman92

  

  Welsh has a great job.....he'll be fine suffering a little

  From John Fay:
  
  "Aroldis Chapman will pitch in relief of Edinson Volquez tomorrow for Triple-A Louisville. Tomorrow is Chapman’s scheduled day, so following Volquez is not a move to the bullpen for Chapman.
  
  But it will give the Reds a chance to see how he reacts to warming up in the middle of a game.
  
  I think if he does well you could see more of him in relief."
