Harrison should have pinch hit. Jones against an average lefty is a disaster.

Have no idea if it was intentional, no way to tell at all. I would guess it wasn't, but I would guess that won't matter and the Pirates hit someone tomorrow. Stupid, and the game better over before they do it. Cutch was pissed, someone will get hit.

In happy news, Reds long time broad caster Marty Brennaman said if the Reds won 10 straight he would shave his head. It was gonna be done in private but he said if $20,000 for the Reds Community Fund was raised by tonight's game, he would do it on the field. Local businesses and fans put together over $50,000 in just about 2 days and change. The Reds did this one right. Very touching speech at the end with the Dragonfly Foundation. So let's end this Reds/Pirates game discussion with happiness.

**** community and happiness.

Jk. Everybody love everybody.

AJ Ellis is trending on twitter because Vin Scully said so

fenikz · 08-03-2012, 11:41 PM

I always thought he was a good player but turns out he just rapes the D"backs

nobodyinparticular · 08-03-2012, 11:50 PM

How the heck did Mathis get that out of the park???

nobodyinparticular · 08-04-2012, 02:01 AM

I wonder what the average game time is for the A's/Blue Jays these past 2 series.

asdf1223 · 08-04-2012, 02:24 PM

King Felix with an absolute gem so far. 88 pitches through 8 and just 2 hits in Yankee Stadium.

Smooth Criminal · 08-04-2012, 05:57 PM

Phillips a last minute scratch from tonight's lineup. And immediately Pittsburgh fans think its so he won't get beamed tonight. Love it.

Smooth Criminal · 08-04-2012, 06:13 PM

Reds fans booing Cutch cause Chapman hit him? Also great.

And Presley is so bad. He's absolutely terrible.

nobodyinparticular · 08-04-2012, 06:17 PM

Don't look now, but the A's have another extra inning game at home.

Not feeling too confident about this one. Already used the entire 'pen after Griffin went down in the 2nd with injury.

nobodyinparticular · 08-04-2012, 06:25 PM

A's load the bases with a chance to end the extra inning game. And no score.

Smooth Criminal · 08-04-2012, 06:36 PM

Further proof that McKenry should be playing more than Barajas.

nobodyinparticular · 08-04-2012, 06:39 PM

I am so pissed right now. If Inge just catches that throw from the catcher, the inning is over and A's are heading to the bot of the 11th with a tied game.

Now it's 1-3 with the black holes coming up.

Smooth Criminal · 08-04-2012, 06:40 PM

Another hit batter? Leake looked like he was gonna go after Harrison.

And the umpire warns both benches which is garbage. All the Pirates have done is got hit, no response at all. And now Hurdle gets thrown out? What the hell is going on?

Smooth Criminal · 08-04-2012, 06:42 PM

This is ********. Pirates showed no kind of retaliation at all and get warned and then have Hurdle get thrown out for getting mad about it? Terrible. Harrison didn't even look like he got mad if anything Leake went towards him walking down the line.

Yes because Mike Leake, I will repeat, MIKE LEAKE is the guy who will go after people.....

Smooth Criminal · 08-04-2012, 06:47 PM

Didn't say he would, but he was the only person on the entire field that showed any type of aggression at all. Two hit batters in 3 innings, Pirates show no retaliation to either and get warned?

Yeah Harrsion barking and staring at Leake was a pacifist move.

Bengals78 · 08-04-2012, 06:49 PM

Do Pirates fans all just think whenever a guy gets hit it is intentional? ****. Sometimes dudes get hit. It happens. Intentionally hitting someone in GABP with a small lead is beyond dumb.

Didn't make a move in his direction. You expect him to be thrilled to be the 2nd pirate hit in 3 innings of baseball?

I didn't think it was intentional actually. Never said anything of the sort. Doesn't change the fact that he was the 2nd pirate hit in 3 innings, and yet the Pirates get warned? Yea thats what should happen.

Now if Jmac hits someone, cause you know it just happens sometimes (not to mention how his control has been lately) he'll get thrown out.

Bengals78 · 08-04-2012, 06:55 PM

Both teams got warned. Accidents happen man. Get over it.
Its a whole conspiracy.
