Cincinnati Reds 2013 Ongoing Thread

Rolling ... maybe. Let's see if we can string up the Parrots this weekend.

Everyone go to MLB.com and vote for the All-Star Game. Fill out the ballot and then with one click you can submit it another 35 times. Vote for the Reds!

Choo will probably be named if he sustains his current pace.
I don't know about Phillips. He's worthy.

 

[Redsfan1507]

Phillips and Votto have best chances. Choo is slumping hard, but might make the reserves unless Korea gets to vote 35 times each. Bruce doesn't have universal exposure, thus lacks vote chances. Chapman is a likely managerial choice.

 

[JohnU]

Choo faces too much competition from teams that don't have any other all-stars except "designated hitters," most of whom are left fielders.

Wow, so easy to unload a guy who has a bad game. What a lack of gratitude.

We have a place in Indiana where you can go to tell your troubles. I went through there on Monday.

Nice. Sister city to Stinking Creek, Ky I suppose. Near Big Bone Lick. Really... creative those founding fathers, huh ?

If you remember "Hoosiers," the little town of Hickory played arch-rival Terhune.
I haven't been to Hickory yet, but I have found ...

Big series with the Parrots before a fairly long series of games against the West.
A split would not make me happy.

 

[Redsfan1507]

I don't believe in the Pirates, but too soon to expect their annual swoon. The Reds desperately need to start chipping away at repairing their 10-18 record against plus .500 teams. Tonight would be a good time to start.

Well, this was probably akward........

It was on this date back in 1997 that Aaron Boone, son and grandson of former major leaguers Bob and Ray, is called up from the minor leagues by the Reds. To make room on the roster Cincinnati demotes his brother, Bret

Was there a difference in talent?

Jay Bruce - Give and take. Or, in this case, take -



Then give -


with no one on base, his homer tied the game and sent it to extra innings:

A pretty cool thing to do if you ask me.

Reds third baseman and New Jersey native Todd Frazier used The Sopranos theme song at his at-bat music yesterday to pay tribute to the late James Gandolfini.

 

[Redsfan1507]

I though maybe it was a tribute to Jimmy Hoffa, apparently as dead as our Reds offense.
