                                Lutz has been a pleasant surprise.

                                Corky nearly cuts it to 4-3, but 2' too low.  Luckily Lutz got the one run in, but the regulars couldn't do any more in the 1,2 spots with a runner on 2nd.

Seriously, Paul and Robinson would be so much more of a fit. At least those guys have somewhat of an eye...hell, Robinson has like 7 walks already in limited PT.

Needs lots of work defensively, despite being very athletic and quick.

                                The good news is, the NL has about 2 or 3 good teams.  The Reds aren't playing well right now, but it's basically going to come down to just beating out the Pirates, Rockies and Diamondbacks for a spot.  I wouldn't be completely sold on the Cardinals either.

Coincidently someone started managing 20 years ago and hasn't been clutch either.

                                If gay marriage is legalized in Ohio, Thom Brennaman might propose to Sam LeCure.
Seriously, he's all over his nuts every time he takes the mound...

I hate Thom but I agree with his mancrush on LeCure.

Is there a more overrated/over-respected manager?
Not sure but he's been swept too much and been the manager in 3 of the 7 worst choke jobs in MLB history.

                                I realize this team has been frustrating quite often this year. But I think people are starting to freak out over nothing.
After this game, the Reds will most likely be 18-16 through the first 34 games.
Last year, the Reds were 18-16 through the first 34 games.
Let's calm down a bit before everyone starts stepping to the ledge to jump.

                        The good news is...the Reds have smoked the bad teams. 12-2 vs Philly, Chicago and Miami. None of those teams will make the playoffs.sherm03;1439826 wrote:I realize this team has been frustrating quite often this year. But I think people are starting to freak out over nothing.

Losing tonight, and that marks vs PIT (0-3), vs STL (2-4), vs WAS (3-4), vs ATL (0-2). Not very promising against the teams they will be facing in the postseason, Dusty's nemesis.
