Braves (Medlen) @ Reds (Bailey) - Game 34 of 162

• wildcats20

  

  Lutz has been a pleasant surprise.
• Azubuike24

  

  Huge K by Choooooooooooo.
  
  That hurt.
• mhs95_06

  Corky nearly cuts it to 4-3, but 2' too low. Luckily Lutz got the one run in, but the regulars couldn't do any more in the 1,2 spots with a runner on 2nd.

  Yeah....Cozart sucks.
  
  He needs to go

  For the love of God, at least not batting 2nd...
  
  Seriously, Paul and Robinson would be so much more of a fit. At least those guys have somewhat of an eye...hell, Robinson has like 7 walks already in limited PT.

  This goes for anyone but building off of this...Should they have kept Hamilton at SS and put all their baskets into re-signing Choo?
• Azubuike24

  

  No way Hamilton can play SS. He can barely play CF...
  
  Needs lots of work defensively, despite being very athletic and quick.
• Azubuike24

  

  Cozart can take Bruce and Frazier with him too...

  This team may just not have 'it'
  
  I'm not trying to panic, but damn they just aren't clutch AT ALL.
• mhs95_06

  Lead-off double squandered!

  I don't think they have been "very clutch" for the last 20 years!
• Azubuike24

  

  The good news is, the NL has about 2 or 3 good teams. The Reds aren't playing well right now, but it's basically going to come down to just beating out the Pirates, Rockies and Diamondbacks for a spot. I wouldn't be completely sold on the Cardinals either.

  Coincidently someone started managing 20 years ago and hasn't been clutch either.
• Azubuike24

  

  Seriously, what it Dusty's record in playoff series'?
  
  Is there a more overrated/over-respected manager?
• Azubuike24

  

  If gay marriage is legalized in Ohio, Thom Brennaman might propose to Sam LeCure.
  
  Seriously, he's all over his nuts every time he takes the mound...

  I hate Thom but I agree with his mancrush on LeCure.

  This.
  
  He's had, what, 1 bad outing? Dude has been lights out.

  Not sure but he's been swept too much and been the manager in 3 of the 7 worst choke jobs in MLB history.
• SportsAndLady

  

  Dusty is terrible...my dream scenario is being a shade under .500 and Walt canning Dusty.
  
  Hires a competent manager who knows how to manage this team, and they win the Central.

  I realize this team has been frustrating quite often this year. But I think people are starting to freak out over nothing.
  
  After this game, the Reds will most likely be 18-16 through the first 34 games.
  
  Last year, the Reds were 18-16 through the first 34 games.
  
  Let's calm down a bit before everyone starts stepping to the ledge to jump.

  Just had to post this.
  

  Blazing speed of Hamilton helps him score from FIRST on a Soto single to shallow right. 6-4 #Bats. #SeeBillyRun

  Corky might not score from 3rd on that.

  The good news is...the Reds have smoked the bad teams. 12-2 vs Philly, Chicago and Miami. None of those teams will make the playoffs.
  
  Losing tonight, and that marks vs PIT (0-3), vs STL (2-4), vs WAS (3-4), vs ATL (0-2). Not very promising against the teams they will be facing in the postseason, Dusty's nemesis.
