Big comeback win from the Os tonight on the road. GRIT.

 

[deacondamo]

And Bucholz has problems.

 

[Ayo]

Hyun-Jin Ryu perfect through 7

 

[myDeaconmyhand]

Reds lineup making good pitchers look great and great pitchers look untouchable

 

[wsc8521s]

Shame Scully is sick

 

[Ayo]

[wsc8521s]

Second pitch I see goes for a hit. Figures

a team taking offense to a guy a stealing a bag in the 7th of a 5-run game is probably a pretty good sign you arent really fighting for wins.

Yeah, that was really stupid. Red Sox scored 5 runs in one inning just the day before. Had to turn my TV off when the Boston homer commentators were complaining about it repeatedly.

David Ross - former backup to Brian McCann. Coincidence?

(Not that they need the Braves' influence, the Red Sox have done some unwritten rules enforcin' of their own.)

ETA: This has to be the funniest unwritten rules fiasco of the year:

Grading the unwritten rules: Jed Lowrie and bunting with a big lead

 

[deacphan]

that's idiotic.

I hope you're keeping an eye out for Hunter Pence's lost scooter, phan.

OK, now the pitcher injury stuff is getting silly:

Jesse Biddle hit in head by hail

Speaking of idiotic.....what the hell is he doing outside in the middle of a hailstorm?

Red's sign Marmol to a minor league deal :squint:

the guy has been a train wreck of hit batters and blown saves since 2009, and he's 31, why is he still a commodity?

 

[SkinsNDeacs]

Signing him to a minor league deal suggests that he is not.

because he misses bats.

 

[DaDeacs]

MarmLOL is worth a chance - dude can still throw, he just has a problem with walks because he constantly throws his slider - which when it is on is nasty.
