In these days of 13 man pitching staffs, and only 4 bench players, it's hard to imagine how difficult it would be to manage if you've got guys banged up. The Pirates need to knock off the high and tight stuff. They're either going to get someone hurt (Bote was lucky yesterday) by hitting someone, or starting a brawl. Good to see Maddon get fired up yesterday. Hopefully, it's contagious. Pirates are a bunch of bums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HTD has always been down on Roberts big time. Apparently he won't be satisfied until the Dodgers get another ring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When teams like Boston, Chicago, LAD, and Yankees throw around the kind of money they do... every year they dont win a ring they should be pissed off.

Jerry and his private investors bought them for $20M in the 80's and now it's worth $1.5B. Money and making money for themselves has always been their MO.

IU Scott Posted July 6, 2019 Report Share Posted July 6, 2019 Reds 3 game winning streak is over with a 7-2 loss to Cleveland. The bullpen was bad today giving up 5 runs n the last two innings after a good start from Disco. Even when they won the in a row against the Brewers their hitting was not really good and today after scoring in the first they were shutout the rest of the way.

They had good momentum, but after the day off, they just seemed flat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would like for them to find a way to keep him. Not some huge long term deal, but re-up him for a year or two and see if the team could get over the hump.

From what I am seeing on other forums, a majority of Reds fans want Puig in GABP next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always been a fan of Puig. I'd much rather have players like him where you have to figure out a way to manage/control his passion vs the alternative.

Seeking6 Posted July 7, 2019 Report Share Posted July 7, 2019 Thought you Reds fans would like this. 26 years ago today: Tom Browning leaves the #Reds' dugout at Wrigley Field in uniform, walks across the street and sits with a group of Cubs fans on the roof of an apartment building behind the right field bleachers.

Don't have any stats off hand but he was one of the best going there it seemed like for a decade. I had to use wiki but it said he was superstitious and never shaved in between starts so that's why he always had that look. Also said he left to be with his wife (she was in labor) during a playoff game. Reds sent a message to play by play guys saying he needed to return to game. He didn't. Seems like a pretty fun guy actually reading about him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IUFLA Posted July 7, 2019 Report Share Posted July 7, 2019 The 2 things I remember most about Browning are the perfect game and the gruesome arm injury. Trivia question.
