  Lol you'll turn any situation into walts fault

  Sappelt is a CF correct? Is our CF 7/9? A day to learn the team....lol

  
  3/10 with a homer. Not a good day to sit Stubbs.

  Who's fault is it they waited too long to bring up talent? Have you watched the moves this team has made since the deadline last year?

Sometimes it seems like they are the only guys who seem to care. This season looks pretty bleak at this point. I'm not sure why we're wasting ABs on a veteran who isn't a big league starter.
  
  Play Sappelt and Alonso everyday until Alonso's outfield defense no longer allows it. Use Lewis to spell Bruce and the rookie combo.

  Alonso in LF experiment is over, moving on to 3B.

  Walt and Dusty both suck. That is a fact.

  I am not agreeing or disagreeing. Just think its funny.

  Brucey!!

  Stubbs with an awful AB. Another one of those times where he looks like he has no clue
• dave

  Looks like the Lewis move paid off.
  
  Can't believe Stubbs hasn't figured out 2 strike hitting. He always looks curve when behind in the count, you can never be successful that way.
• jordo212000

  

  Tonight's storyline? Sappelt.
  
  So, Sappelt is obviously on the bench

  Looks like the Lewis move paid off.

  People are saying that the season is lost. There is no sense in devoting PT to guys who aren't long term solutions. Play the young guys so we can find out if they are solutions

  My grandmother with no bat at the plate gets the same result other than Bruce having to slow down his trot as granny has a new hip.
• Ironman92

  

  Bruce got lucky...down 0-2 with horrible approach and then pulls a down and slightly away curve into the seats...silly strength but lucky IMO.
• Ironman92

  

  CarGo will go Carlos Pena/Brian McCann deep this game.
• Ironman92

  

  Tulo may part the stacks.
• wildcats20

  

  I HATE HATE HATE the 1 out bunt.
• Ironman92

  

  Might see the tarp before the Reds finish their next at bat.
• justincredible

  

  Seth Smith lol
• jordo212000

  

  Rain delay.
  
  Wonder if this will cause Homer to hit the showers a little early

  Yeah, I 100% agree. That's not Dusty's priority though, he's coaching for a job next season, whether it be in Cincinnati or elsewhere. The long term plans are determined by the GM, his assistants, and the ownership.

  Like many others, some great, some good and some eh.....Seth Smith kills the Reds.
  
  Vegas had Reds as pretty big favorites...but CarGo and Tulo kill the Reds and Helton is hitting.
• dave

  This is some heavy rain

  The sad thing is, I'm of the opinion that the young guys give us a better chance to win than most of the older guys
