Steubenhoosier Posted July 20, 2021 Report Share Posted July 20, 2021 I rarely sit down and watch a full 9 innings… can’t devote that much time. However, I think I will make an exception and watch the game being played at tithe Field of Dreams. Yankees v While Sox on August 12th on Fox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted July 21, 2021 Report Share Posted July 21, 2021 Must needed win for the Reds but was harder than it should have been. The Mets was using all bullpen guys today and 3 of their first 4 pitchers were just called up the last couple of days. By their minor league stats they were having trouble getting people out in the minors. One of them had a era around 7 in the minors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aquino is the guy that if the Reds keep him, he will suck to the point of being out of baseball in 2 years.. But, if they trade him, he'll blow up and hit 40+ homers for the next 5 years. That's called being a Reds fan. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was gonna say "at least your team never traded Lou Brock for Ernie Broglio" but then I remembered Frank Robinson for Milt Pappas, Jack Baldshun, and Dick Simpson...

IU Scott Posted July 21, 2021 Report Share Posted July 21, 2021 Why the hell did the Reds start Jeff Hoffman today. Just got off the DL after 2 months and he is horrible do don't understand this. It is in the third with the Reds down 5-0 after just hitting a grand slam. In this series they have given up 10 homers. Hoffman has no command of his pitches and gets behind every batter which leads to a lot runners. For some reason Bell thinks it is good idea to go to a 6 man rotation. Jeff Brantley is just ripping Hoffman saying he has not learned anything while on the DL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted July 23, 2021 Report Share Posted July 23, 2021 Wild bottom of the 10th in the Yankees and Red Sox game. The Red Sox down 1 and had the ghost runner on second wind the game because of 4 wild pitches a walk and a sac fly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, but, but the Reds traded Pappas to get Clay Carroll! Frank was a tad before my time but how about George Foster to the Mets for Greg Harris, Jim Kern, and Alex Trevino? That was a dandy as well.

Frank Robinson would have been a monster in a lineup with Bench and Perez. Even late in his career he was putting up good power numbers...just having him in the middle of that lineup from 69-73 might have resulted in a couple of more titles... Clay Carroll was good, but the Reds of that era had a deep bullpen with guys like Wayne Granger, Pedro Bourbon, and a young Don Gullett...

Just as now the Reds needed SP then. Not making an excuse for Cincy 'cause they definitely screwed the pooch with Frank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't Joe Morgan and Cesar Geronimo throw ins to Billingham and menke for Lee May and Helms. That trade worked out well. They also got George foster from the giants for Frank Duffy. I think things primarily worked out well for their trades overall when building the Big Red Machine. After that era, meh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATX_sig Posted July 23, 2021 Report Share Posted July 23, 2021 We now have the Cleveland Guardians. Seems close to Indians replacing the In with a Guar. Now the WTF NFL team needs to get their team named for 2022. If they follow the Cleveland model maybe they can be the Porkskins instead of the Redskins. They already have the Hogs.
