El Diablo Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 I didn't know what Thom Brenaman said at first, and I didn't really think I wanted to.

Sport Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Reds bad. That's my assessment of this team. The Reds, they bad. Last night they were down 3-2 to the Brewers and found themselves with the bases loaded and nobody out. Votto strikes out looking on what is clearly ball 4. If Joey Votto thinks it's a ball then it's a ball. He's never wrong. Next batter Nick Castellanos singles to right field and Freddy Galvis* gets thrown out at home on a force out. I've never seen this before and I'm not sure what Galvis was thinking. Off the bat it was a line drive that didn't look catchable so there was no reason for him to go back to third to tag up, but he did. Umpire actually forgot that there were bases loaded and called him safe because he slid into the plate and didn't get tagged. The Brewers reminded him "hey dude the bases are loaded so WTF?" and he changed his call. Next batter Jesse Winker pops up to second. Zero runs scored, they go on to lose 3-2. Now this was in the fifth inning, I think, so they had plenty of outs left to tie the game, but they didn't which is why I'm not going to get into this bad luck thing the rest of Reds twitter is doing right now (and they do have by far the worst BABIP in the league and Luis Castillo has by far the worst BABIP of any starting pitcher), but good teams don't score 2 runs in a game and call it bad luck. The fact that Luis Castillo walked the next batter he faced with a pitch that was more of a strike than the one that Votto got struck out on and subsequently tossed for was just another kick in the shins. *there's a reason this guy was available last season and why we all wanted them to go get a shortstop in the offseason. Freddy Galvis, he STINK. He can't field, he has no range, he's not a major league caliber shortstop and does bonehead things on the field like get thrown out from right field on a force play. Sonny Gray pitches today. I look forward to watching his 7 inning, 4 hit, 11 strikeout performance in a 2-0 loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no argument. 2 - I thought the liner to Gamel by Castellanos was in doubt in terms of dropping. Gamel made a perfect one hop throw to the plate to force Galvis (that's 9-2 if you're scoring at home, or even if you're alone). 3 - Given the Brewers' offense, this could be scoreless going to the 10th. It's where I sit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBTV Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 I gotta say - I love the extra-innings gimmick. There's so much strategy involved based on if you're home or away, and there's so much drama - every at bat is huge. The only drawback I see is that it's like the very end of an NBA game, where there's a lot of mound visits and delays to set fielders and time-outs, but I've been on the edge of my seat during every minute of the few extra inning games I've watched. I wouldn't be opposed to them moving to a format where after the 11th they play this way. There's no need for games that go much longer than that, and this format is so nerve racking that it's great.

I turn off games at the end of the 9th regardless of score because i'm not watching it. Same thing with minor league games I'm in person at. If it goes into extras, I'm leaving the ballpark.

BBTV Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 Bryce Harper: "the only way we're going to get back into this is if we win 9 out of our next 10" Phillies go 9-1 in their next 10. Do you praise a GM that overhauls the bullpen nearly 100% since the season started? Or do you curse him for going into the season with what was statistically the worst bullpen of all time? I choose the latter. Blow me Matt Klentak, and eat my corn-ridden poo Andy McPhail. And wipe some on your mother's grave.
