BP is out due to his ridiculous swing on the first pitch of his second AB yesterday vs Dickey. He was trying to hit a knuckleball out of the stadium....follow thru had his bat drill his heel....just like you are taught at camp

I hope BP is out for a while so we get to see Schumaker (Ironmans favorite player) in the lineup everyday. The guy is just so good!!!!!!

Billy Hamilton, .705 OPS.
Brandon Phillips, .699 OPS.

Says it all. The rest of the team is starting to come together but BP is still lagging behind. This doesn't even consider his attitude, approach and prior comments he's made to ruffle feathers in the organization.

Yea, we're .500 because of BP. Might as well just cut him. I'm sure Skip is going to dominate for us while he's out.

Maybe azu is racist. Only thing that would explain the constant BP bashing when there's so many more players/coaches to hate on.

What a start.

Double for Billy that barely got out of the infield, followed by a gap triple for Frazier.

Runner on third and no outs, and he doesn't score. Well done!

Then a shitty finish.

I'm at the game, cubs fans were pissed at the top half of that first inning, and reds fans as well lol

Wouldn't that be ruled out considering I don't really hate on many others of many races?

Again, you guys have to take the BP bashing in a relative sense. The guy thought he was worth way more money than his 13M a year...yet his OPS is under Billy Hamilton's? And yes, he got hurt trying to hit a knuckleball 600 feet.

Sadly, while I think UK gets a bad rep. in-terms of racism, considering many of the other culprits in the south (most notably, Duke) at the time, it's sad that there are still sectors of fans who let it bother them.

BTW, I have a bad feeling about this game if the Reds can't score more than 1. Hopefully Simon can get through 7 and we can get right to Broxton and Chapman. It would be nice to not see any of the Parra, Hoover or Ondrusek trio tonight.

Rizzo hit a pitch way out of the zone up, and he was way in-front of it too. Simon has a serious yacker going...

Great AB by Billy that results in the go ahead RBI in the top of the 9th, and gets Chapman in the game.

Should have sent Billy home on the hit by Frazier! Hamilton was stealing on the pitch and was flying and the throw from the CF came to 2B. No chance they could have relayed to home in time to cut down the insurance run.

Strategy to stop Billy at 3rd paid off in the Meso grand slam, and may have kept Aroldis from getting into the game.
