Cincinnati Reds - Rest of the Season Thread

• Heretic

  

  Okay, looking at the line-up you guys put out last night, it's obvious you've packed it in and are just trying to give players extended try-outs for roster spots next year. And that's cool.
  
  But, uh, do you think that starting tomorrow, you could maybe put a wholehearted effort into winning six straight? It'd make me really, really happy!

  Think during the radiocast last night or monday Marty was talking to one of the beat writers about how this series is the last one to expect seeing all the call ups and they supposedly will be playing as many of the regulars as possible to close out the season against contending teams.

  So...CUeto will go for 20 this weekend. I just hope he doestn get hurt!
  
  If they can get production out of Votto and Bruce next year, and a some out of BP there is no reason this team cannot contend. Sure...LF and SS production would be great as well but not every position is gonna be able to do it
  
  Frazier is doing about what I thought he could do and Meso...he is doing what they drafted him to do.
  I still dont like him sitting most times when Cueto pitches though.

  So the Reds had only 2 hits tonight. And in a lineup with Hamilton, Bruce, Meso, Frazier, and Phillips, both were by none other than JACK MOTHERFUCKING HANNAHAN. Ladies and Gentlemen, your 2014 Cincinnati Reds!
  
  
  
  Also, I was there tonight and am having a hard time naming 5 Reds games I enjoyed more than that one. I was rooting against every Reds hitter after the 7th inning because I wanted Hannahan to be the only one keeping it from a no hitter. Kyle Lohse has to wonder how the hell he let Jack Hannahan get the best of him.

  I just found out that the Woo guy that irritates me to death in those late inning noise sessions (was there tonight)...grew up 3 miles from me in Coalton Ohio. Just no way.

  So he's your cousin?

  No but he has the same last name and from same village as Ohio's longest serving governor James A Rhodes

  Walk off grand slam to beat the Pirates.....Ramon Santiago of course

  The Reds won and the Cubs lost. Ending any chance Cincy finishes in last. Most disappointing teams in the NL this year?
  
  1. Cincinnati
  2. Atlanta
  3. Milwaukee
  
  Everyone else was basically, as expected.

  Technically, Milwaukee was picked to finish fourth in the division in a lot of places (Cards tended to be the favorite to win, while Reds and Pirates were flipped between second and third depending on who was doing the picking), so their season is disappointing in the context of how hilariously those stupid fucking dipshits flopped in the final two months. But they did exceed preseason expectations!
• Azubuike24

  

  Milwaukee, I put there because they were 21 over .500 after 80 games and barely finished .500. All they had to do is go .500 from the All Star break and they had 90 wins, and 90 wins would WIN the Central.
• mhs95_06

  The thing I do not want today is for the Reds to win and Cueto not get his 20th. Pirates win and Cards loss would be good.
• mhs95_06

  Do you think there has ever been a play in MLB like Josh Harrison just made going hard in the hole to glove a grounder, rolling over not once, but twice, and throwing out the hitter at first? I don't think that is a play that you practice, not even Brandon Phillips!
• Ironman92

  

  Harrison is GGish at 3rd
• Azubuike24

  

  Really haven't watched many games except when Johnny throws. Might as well let him go as far as he wants today.
• Ironman92

  

  Pete Rose gets a standing ovation from the crowd and also the Pirates dugout.
• Azubuike24

  

  Nothing like ending a season with Cutch being drilled by a pitch.
• Terry_Tate

  

  Lol at Cueto bringing in the game leading RBI in the bottom of the 8th on a full count. Ladies and gentlemen your 2014 Cincinnati Reds!
• wildcats20

  

  That was awesome!! Johnny Fucking Beisbol!!!
• Azubuike24

  

  WEAK. Not giving him a chance for the CG. The crowd deserves it.

  I was thinking the same thing.
  
  But maybe Price sees it as getting Chappy in one more time too?
• wildcats20

  

  Negron!!!!
• Terry_Tate

  

  Isn't Cueto tied for the NL strikeout lead as well? Figured they'd let him stay in to try to get it outright. Either way, looking good for 20 wins now.

  Yup. Just said the same thing on the broadcast.
• Azubuike24

  

  Absolutely stupid. A 3-run lead? Cueto had it easily. Makes no sense to take him out.
