When we came up empty in the top of the 9th I turned it. I knew with Iglesias coming in I wouldn't wanna watch it. Just found out I was right.

They gotta find a closer next season if they want any chance.

[samhain]

Aquino has become the only reason to watch this team for the rest of the season. Could be worse, I guess.

They've made some strides, but the ownership has a lot of work to do this offseason.

The National League is too much for a rookie manager.

Votto still batting 2nd.
Iglesias still closing.
There are about three or four set players, the rest are nothing but utility players.
That's 100% a Bell creation.

The Cardinals are the Steelers and the Reds are the Bengals.
"We'll sit here and dosey doe for most of the game, then we'll have piss running down our legs while you step it up in crunch time".

Raisel Iglesias flat out ***** sucks.

2-11

The guy that pitched the 9th against the Reds?

10-0 with the exact same ERA as Lorenzen, 2.92. Iglesias is at 4.63

Are there any other closers with that crappy of an ERA? He's the new Fernando Rodney.

Iggy will be released but his Salary next year is hefty. I don't think anyone would trade for him.

Suarez hit homer 39.

Gray has an ERA of 2.80

Him and Aquino have been our two brightest spots !

Yes he does he's Wandy Peralta 2.0

Had his moment in the sun there year or two ago and it's been all down hill ever since.

Over the previous three years he had a 2.47 ERA, averaged over 10 strikeouts per 9 innings, and held opponents to a .208 batting average.

That is a good bit more than "a moment in the sun".

Suarez just hit #41. Wow.

[*psychdoctor*]

Gray sure looks like a Cy Young candidate again this year. Hell, he Looks like one of the top Pitchers in the NL. Gray, Castillo, Aquino, Suarez are types you build a team around.

[*psychdoctor*]

Reds are locked into a battle in the 9th against the Phillies. Do they win a 1-run game? Does the Punisher come through?

He’s probably been the best pitcher in baseball since the AllStar break, that’s just a guess. Did anyone notice that Votto probably had his best game of the year yesterday. He got his timing down, had 3 hits and even drove the ball. Bell benches him the next day so he doesn’t get on a roll. Smh

There should be a Reds Warning Label "Caution: Becoming a Reds' fan has been known to cause healthy anomalies including heart disease, Intermittent Explosive Disorder, and Substance Use Disorders."

Votto was spot on yesterday.  

[*psychdoctor*]

I am calling it now. The Punisher will come through some how some way....

[*psychdoctor*]

Phillies are on their 8th pitcher thus far this game....in the 10th inning

[*psychdoctor*]

Iggy giving a tough-at-bat...I really hope he is a Red next year.

[McC]

If Votto and Barnhart ran a race, and the race was a 40 yard dash...


would there be enough daylight for one of them to finish?

Gray’s ERA. July-2.23, AUG-0.74, Sept-1.5. Now that’s ACE style right there. It’s a pity that his teammates haven’t had his back. He should have at least 15 Wins by now. That’s looking like a fantastic deal for the Reds so far! That extension is a fantastic value!
