Regular Season

[Hit-n-Run]

That's should be a multiple choice question.

A. Moe
B. Curly
C. Shemp
D. Larry
E. None of the above

I'm going with E.

Or maybe a Abbott and Costello rountine.

"Who" is going to blow the game?
"What" inning?
The rest may as well be "I don't know, Why, Because, Tomorrow, Today", and where we'll all end up at SS....
"I Don't Give a Damn".

 

[Hit-n-Run]

Who plays RF?
Clue; The answer is the same as .... whom can you rely on in the Reds bullpen?

"Nobody"

 

[Hit-n-Run]

That routine is some funny stuff. If you think about my question.. who plays RF?...
The answer can also be... No, "Who" plays first base.

 

[Hit-n-Run]

It's a perpetual gag.....
Much the same as the Reds bullpen this season.

By golly that's Hu on first base.

Now all we need is a picture of Eddie Watt on second base. I bet Lee May remembers Eddie.

 

[Hit-n-Run]

Game time, it's King Felix vs. Silence of the Lambs.

Will our General Custer look alike be up to the task or will it be Little Bighorn deja vu?

 

[JohnU]

I don't think Eddie played 2B. Watt's your name, Eddie.
I believe we got fucked by geometry.

Don't look now but Votto is 4 points away from falling under 200, The best hitter on the team outside of Cozart is Bruce is batting 273, Duvall batting 267 everyone else is batting under 250.

 

[JohnU]

And a guy hitting .205 is in the 3 hole in the order because he has a reputation.
Chalk another one up to a brain-dead manager.

 

[JohnU]

HR went 473 feet? Seriously? You can't hit a ball that far.

 

[Hit-n-Run]

Eddie Watt was the pitcher that allowed the 4th game home run to Lee May that kept the Orioles from sweeping the 1970 World Series.

Eddie played before the DH rule, so I'm sure he probably ran the bases at some point. Is there a picture..... good luck with that.

 

[JohnU]

 

[JohnU]

Half the illiterate idiots who "follow" baseball are convinced Gutierrez is on steroids because he hit a baseball 473 feet off a Reds pitcher.

 

[JohnU]

So unloading Delabar, Jumbo and Sampson is the first legitimate show that the Reds are at least irritated by problems they caused themselves. Did they really think these guys could spend 2 weeks in the minors and mysteriously become MLB relievers?

Actually, the purge could also include Blake Wood without much pain.

 

[JohnU]

I doubt this helps much but the fans got tossed a cookie.

Reds' Josh Smith: Recalled from Triple-A

Smith was one of three arms called up on Sunday to provide the Reds with bullpen depth. Through eight starts at Louisville, the right-hander owns a 3.86 ERA and 1.29 WHIP.

Reds' A.J. Morris: Called up from Triple-A

Morris will come up to provide bullpen depth, possibly in long relief, as the right-hander has already made six starts at the Triple-A level this season. Through 30 innings in the minors, Morris owns a 2.70 ERA and 1.37 WHIP.

Reds' Dayan Diaz: Called up by Reds

Diaz has already tossed 14.1 innings in the minors this season, posting a strong 1.88 ERA with seven strikeouts and four walks. He'll provide bullpen depth at the Major League level.

Managements thinking is lets keep Stephenson, Reed, In the minors so they can hold onto them longer. These guys could probably help the team.
I still think the Reds are on a record breaking season for loses. And management doesn't give a shit because they gave up on this season before it started to save money
