Official Cincinnati Reds thread

Decided to make a thread about all general things regarding the Reds, I figured maybe the other Reds threads would just get all packed up with stuff not relevant to the topic.

Record stands at 2-2 right now.



Players to watch this year


Brandon Phillips (Looking to build on his excellent 30-30 season)

Jay Bruce (Rookie OF Prospect who will hopefully get some time to play in the Majors, assuming he does well in the minors again. #1 rated prospect in baseball)

Johnny Cueto (Lights out rookie pitcher, 10K's, 1H, 1ER, 0BB in his debut in 7 Innings of work.)

Edinson Volquez (Comparable to Johnny Cueto, young Dominican pitcher who will do wonders for this ball club)

Jeff Keppinger (Could potentially hit .300 all year if he keeps his starting spot)

Edwin Encarnacion (still very young, everyone seems to think this will be his breakout year. Excellent power and hitting skills with RISP)

Mods could you make this thread sticky please? You can make an Indians sticky thread too if you'd like.

I'm starting to like Keppinger. Plays hard and makes solid contact at the plate.

We had a pretty solid game today, Harang had a decent outing.

Corey Patterson had a solo HR to tie up the game at 3-3 in the 8th.

And then in the bottom of the 9th
Dunn Walked, Freel ran for Dunn.
Encarnacion Walked, Hopper came in and first pitch had an excellent bunt down the 3rd base line and advanced both of our runners.
Then Bako came in and had a single to short to win the game, wooo!

Looking good! Let's hope the bats stay hot tomorrow against Myers.

We have Volquez pitching as well, I'll definitely wake up for this one.

It's going to be tougher for me, i'm 3 hours behind!

Do you watch the games online?

Yes. Plus MLB Extra Innings has been free on Time Warner. I don't know how long it's going to be free?

Cool! I've got Timewarner but I don't have the DVR box in my bedroom.

Yeah I don't have it in my room either, but it's still great to see the Reds on out here.

Who do you like better, George Grande and Chris Welsh or Thom Brennaman and Jeff Brantley?

I love George but can't stand Welsh. I like Brennaman and Brantley is alright.
