So how long does Meso have to hit .500+ before we are aloud to constantly complain about him not moving up in the lineup.

That last play will not be used for any Tom Emanski defensive videos. What a fuckup.

Can anyone defend that effort by Phillips? I mean, what the fuck was he doing?

Hard to blame Mesoraco, ball appeared to hit something and just take a crazy hop. You don't just miss that badly...

Replay showed that ball tailing hard and landed several feet from where he took off for it to go.....then the skip hop on the throw....

Fuck

It was a bloop pop up. He missed it by 5 feet. Inconceivable. Not sure why Bruce tries to three-hop the throw. Even with the bounces Russell Martin was out by 5 steps.

Anyway, for anyone in this area, south central ohio, Branch Rickey will be at the Dogwood Festival in Piketon on Saturday at 2:30p in the Odd Fellows lodge. He will be speaking about his history in baseball, sounds like it would be a pretty cool thing to hear.

I don't like Price

JJ Hoover is awful why is he pitching 1+ innings in a close game vs a tough opponent?

I agree with this too. Broxton? Tight game, Reds use Hoover for 40 pitches. Hmm..

And why not challenge the stolen base? Whose the dumbass in the replay booth that advised him "ehh maybe" when it was very clear he was safe.

Fuck this loss

It was a jam shot that clearly sliced.....BP's 1st step was turned to his left and the ball was just off the bat and traveling that direction......it landed 5 feet to the right of where he was headed after his first step.

Phillips drives me nuts a lot, but I've never seen him not try to make a game saving play....I blame him zero on that play......Bruce made a perfect 1 hop throw if it doesn't skip crazily off the likely dewed grass.

The game was lost when Marte threw out Bruce at home with no outs.

Fuck this loss
100% that has to be replayed. He was safe but up 2-0 you have to keep piling on, 15 min later they are down 4-2

LOL...I posted it on Facebook, and after several people started making plans to see him I had to let them know he wouldn't actually be there, and some were people that fancy themselves real baseball fans! Figured I'd see how long it took someone to catch it on here! They are having some sort of presentation about him though, which I'll probably check out since I'll be there anyway.

He grew up neighboring (the land) where I student taught at Eastern Pike at the old Stockdale school. His brother farmed land in Highland Co with the grandfather of my vest friend at school.

Been through that area a lot, my mom's family is from Pike County, but never knew exactly where he grew up.

I agree. That hop was crazy. Almost every time that ball doesnt bounce nearly that high. It was a good throw from bruce in the way is that you tell players to get it there all the way in the air or on a nice long hop. Well..it was a nice long hop but man it just took off.
