Cujo Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 On the bright side, for once Graves might have a chance to play for a real contender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJTank Posted May 24, 2005 Author Share Posted May 24, 2005 I agree I think he will end up going to a better team out of this. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dilbert Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 Us Reds fans havent really liked Graves lately, though its not just him whose making us loose, its the rest of the pitching. Signature intentionally left blank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mac Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 I was at that game, while I am not one to boo, I believe that he kindof deserved what the fans gave him. His ERA was 5 when he came into the game, and 7.36 when he left. The score was 3-2 before he gave up a few big hits and the indians blew it open. It's a shame because he has really been the face of the reds bullpen for the last few years and had a great season last year. Hopefully they get someone for him instead of just letting him leave with nothing. I had no Idea he made an obscene gesture either, guess i didn't see it.

pcgd Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 He's a good pitcher, he's had a rough year and a change of scenery will be good for him.I wouldn't hate if the cardinals got him. He had troubles against them (the cardinals) pretty much for the last 3 years, but having him pitch just as a reliever would be nice.But he'll end up somewhere. If he's not traded, it'll be a steal too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mings Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 yeah, he flipped off some fans....but the reds made a damn stupid move.....he was the closest thing to reliable they had in the bullpen, and if they dont get their heads out of their asses, the season that looked so promising and possibly bringing back a winning season, now suddenly looks to be a 100 loss season, and more of the same old plop that us reds fans are pissed off at lindner about.

They lied to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJTank Posted May 29, 2005 Author Share Posted May 29, 2005 He may clear waivers which will alow the Reds to get something back, but force them to take some of his salary. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mac Posted May 29, 2005 Share Posted May 29, 2005 its not entirely his fault for his performance this season - the reds management ruined his arm by trying to make him a SP but that was two years ago, he went back to the bullpen last season and had a tremendous year.

redsfan39 Posted May 29, 2005 Share Posted May 29, 2005 he never had the same stuff again as before the change. he had a big first half with a surging reds, but then after the break he cooled off considerably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
