PLAYERS: Ramon Hernandez,  Jay Bruce
TEAMS: Cincinnati Reds

negFINAL Philadelphia 3 Cincinnati 2 WP: Madson (3-4) LP: W******* (1-2) BOX SCORE POSITIVES Another strong start by David Bailey.  6 IP, 7H, 6 K, 0 BB, 2 ER.  Looks like he may finally have figured it out. Ramon Hernandez had a few good ABs. NEGATIVES TOS.  Jay Bruce, in particular, really needs to get it in gear. W******* blows another Bailey win.  He’s been effective, if not exactly impressive this year.  But Chad’s Favorite Player has hit a very rough patch lately.  And for some reason, his struggles are more aggrivating than almost anyone else. As much as we keep bellyaching about Chris Dickerson deserving to start in CF, he’s not doing a whole heck of a lot to justify it, at least in the batter’s box.  A leadoff man who gets 4 ABs needs to see more than 10 pitches.  TOS. TOS.  It bears repeating.

Game Thread: The Day After

Via Redleg Nation  |  July 07, 2009
You mean the Reds have to play the Phillies again? Really? Bet the ranch on this: Cincinnati will not lose by 20+ runs tonight. I just have a feeling. Okay, Aaron Harang is pitching, and we really need a good start from the big guy, mainly because Paul Janish needs a breather. The Reds may have one other reliever available, as Robert Manuel has been recalled from AAA. While you are...

A Proud Papa

Via Redleg Nation  |  July 09, 2009
My son never ceases to amaze me.  As a lifelong Reds fan, I have managed to brainwash my son into the same agonizing torture of pulling for the Reds that I have endured over the last 30 years.  It can be said however, that despite my love and loyalty to this club, my 5 year old son’s love and loyalty may have just surpassed mine last night. Let me preface by saying that my son...

A Visual Representation of Reds-Phillies

Via The Sporting Blog  |  July 07, 2009
The pesky thing about blogging anything MLB is the total and complete lack of quality video available. In my short term as TSB overlord, I've used exactly one MLB video (spliced with keyboard cat) and it was gone within 36 hours. So this morning there were two options when it came to showing you what happened in the 22-1 beatdown the Phillies put on the Reds last night. I could put...

Bailey’s Control Continues

Via Baseball Musings  |  July 08, 2009
The Reds lost to the Phillies 3-2 on Wednesday night, but Homer Bailey showed good control for the second game in a row. He did not walk a batter in six innings of work and allowed just two runs while striking out six. He walked 58 batters in his first 91 MLB innings, [...]

Dusty Baker's Good Qualities*

Via Bleacher Report  |  July 09, 2009
It was recently made aware to me that perhaps I have been too harsh on Cincinnati Reds' Manager, Johnnie B. "Dusty" Baker.  They could have Arizona General Manager, Josh Byrnes' lap dog manager,  A.J. Hinch.  So it could be worse.  The thought Reds' General Manager, Walt Jocketty, running field operations is not a vision that I want anywhere near my head. If Dusty...

The real Homer Bailey???

July 08, 2009
I believe we saw the real Homer Bailey last Friday night.  He could prove me wrong (he's done it before), but his confidence on the mound is clear.  The Phillies' wrecking crew of a line-up will be a sufficient test, I would think.

The Philadelphia Phillies seem to have solved their home woes and will close out a four-game series tonight versus the Cincinnati Reds at Citizens Bank Park.
