JC Posted April 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 The stable of young pitchers we have is pretty encouraging. If they do this right, they could probably turn it around fairly quick. For whatever reason, they are playing Jose Peraza (guy we got for Toddfather) at SS even though we currently have a trillion of those. I thought the reason they were trying to trade Brandon was due to the fact he was blocking him.So maybe we will end up screwing this up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a problem before they traded away half the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie_B Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 6 games and 5-1, lets hope they keep this up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hooky Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 Picoro was interviewing Bruce. Bruce looked pissed. Picoro brought up how the pundits aren't expecting much from them yet they're 5-1. Bruce wasn't having it. He went off about them not caring less about what they're saying. The chip on their shoulder couldn't hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanvilleBengal Posted April 11, 2016 Report Share Posted April 11, 2016 Have to say, hell of a first week, 5-1 record, including a series win vs the Pirates, and it seems that we may have the young talent that is finally starting to sprout. Mind you, I know it's just 6 games out of 162, not to mention the other opponent were the Phillies (which is pretty much a dumpster fire, ironically just like us), but it does give some thing to smile about, especially since we know pretty much the Bengals can take care of themselves (The pundits can bitch all they want, but Cincy is one of the elite teams in the NFL, and it's been that way for a couple of years now. Not to mention it takes some luck, sound scouting, not to mention good health. You can't really luck into 5 (going on 6) straight playoff appearances with the same QB since he was a rookie.)And looks like the Reds' road schedule starts in Wrigley Field. Let's see if some of the stuff the boys showed last week returns this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catfish Bob Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 Finnegan looked great last night against the Cubs in game one of the series at Wrigley.The bullpen lost the game for the Reds and is clearly the weak link on this team. Cingrani looked like he shouldn't even be on a Major League roster.If they got more stud pitchers sitting in AAA or AA they need to go on and bring them up and put them in the bullpen. The time to win is now not five years from now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanvilleBengal Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 from 5-1 to 5-7....damn, I know that we sucked, but really, getting swept by the Cubs and Cardinals??? The Cards, I can kinda get--Cincy has always had issues with St. Louis, but the Cubs?? Can't even salvage one victory for the entire week?Oi.Well, knew it's gonna be a bad season, but losing streaks like that is just pathetic. It's painful to have to watch at all, even with the few times I'll see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Dub Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 They could win some of these home games & stay relevant. Big picture, it was over when they hitched the wagons to Bailey & Votto. Digging out of that hole is the real challenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Dub Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 Just got no-hit by Arrieta... Is this going to be like one of the old shitty Bengals seasons, where every week they were on the wrong side of history with something like "Most Fumbles in a Game" or some other record level of suckage?

CincyInDC Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 I got up this morning and the condensed game wasn't on mlb.tv yet, so I watched the previous day's Rockies game. Apparently, I'm very lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generally, if a team is down duble-digit runs, they can usually get a couple of mop-up runs, let alone, hits. Disgusting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right up there with giving ace money to a guy with a career 4.19 ERA. I'm sure he'll rehab from that TJ surgery one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted June 4, 2016 Report Share Posted June 4, 2016 I actually am able to watch the game tonight. The Nationals are my "local" team. And their broadcast crew isn't nearly as bad as it was a couple of years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
