Soo glad Ramon is gone

I have this application for my iPhone that cost me like ten bucks that allows me to listen to all the games and I was listening to the Reds-Mets game on the way back to my apartment. Dang, Ramon gets stolen off way too easily. Had been stolen off twice in two innings. It is too bad that he stank up the joint for us. That first year he looked to be a good one but then again so did Javy Lopez.

I'm not a Ramon fan, but I'm guessing they got a good jump on the P.

No idea. First guy to get a steal was Reyes who's a good base stealer and then Ryan Church whom I am not sure what kind of speed and base running ability he has. Don't know what Aaron Harang's movement to the plate is like either.

So, I'm watching the Reds/Mets game, and there is Ramon, already a base stolen on him, a past ball. Mets announcers already questioning some of the pitch calling.

Well, bless his heart. I hope he makes it with the Reds. I hope he does well there.

wow, I was so excited when we drafted Darnell, I thought he would be the next big thing to happen to the O's. Boy was I wrong!

Thta man should have stuck with Football. I beleive he turned downthe UT longhorns to sign with the O's. He wouldhave had more success in football. IMO. But I too wish him well.

Anybody else seeing the number of bats that have split almost down the middle in this game? Is the maple bat thing not going to get resolved until somebody gets turned into a kabob?

I've read about a protective film they could use to coat the bats, keeping the bat together even if it breaks. Seems like a good idea to me.

Those steals were on the pitcher, not Ramon, and he nearly got Reyes on that first steal of the game. I can't imagine what this game has been like for either team when it's not even 40F here while raining most of the afternoon. That's just miserable for Opening day. :(

And what is this.....dump on the Reds day here?! Geesh. :angryfire:

    • I understand the importance of team chemistry. Not sure I understand at all the reference to the Yankees. Their chemistry appears to be fine from what I can tell. Maybe you have some inside info there? Our chemistry based on recent media revelations and Hays’ parting shot does not appear to be as good as you are stating. Furthermore, even if our chemistry is superb, the problem is that “chemistry” is not very effective on the mound. Our pitching has been horrible (near the bottom of the league) for over a month now (since Bradish’s injury). It does not appear that team chemistry has the ability to fix that.
    • They needed the 40 man spot as well.  They are guessing Nittoli makes it through waivers.  
    • Many major league players don’t make a top 100 prospect list. Stowers has a .797 OPS. What else does he need to do? We’ve picked up a kid from the Phillies who has proven over 3 or 4 seasons that he’s not a MLB hitter and can’t be sent down. It was a stupid pick up…. Get the reliever and a A ball player. 
    • Marsh can flex to CF like Cowser.     I hope Hays gets a clean look at returning to closer to an everyday role. Roch on the pregame show went to the place of wondering aloud if Hays' agent asked for a trade.    Ulitmately whether Dombrowski tenders Hays or not, Austin can use playing time to establish his place in the 2025 market, or how high the Bid/Ask will be for Arb. A few minutes later, Melanie featured that  Mullins and Hays had picked up a charitable effort Gibson did last year, an organization having an event this weekend Cedric will now have to do alone.
    • Out of all our prospects, you valued Etzel the most?
    • I think you have to be careful with a big trade like that. The reason why we are so good now has a lot to do with team chemistry. Splitting up all these talented teammates will turn you into the Yankees if you’re not careful- not knowing if they will gel as a team. You can’t put a price on the chemistry many of these players have built up over the years. 
    • Norby looks fine to me so far…. Tripping appeared to be nerves to me and I’m willing to give him a pass. Kjerstad needs to be grommet at 1B or just DH imo. Maybe hidden in RF…but playing him in LF here is beyond stupid. Even before last night I’ve said several times that he just looks shaky.
