guigsy Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 he's arrived. and he's incredible. hitting 103 on the gun. an 89mph slider that breaks a foot and a half. have mercy! shoulda heard the crowd "oooohhhhhhh" after his first slider - bigger reaction than 100+ heaters. i think it was in the Votto-All-Star Game thread i started that i said i'd wait to see where my boys were come september 1st... well... 7 fucking games up!!!! best record in the NL.... and we just re-loaded with the Cuban Missile... 1 month to go. just hope no one's arms or legs fall off....

Hal Johnson Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 He looks pretty good! I remember watching him during the WBC. Nice pick up for the Reds, and to think , they were critisized for it.Funny how he gets so little fanfare, compared to Strasburg. Not to take anything away from Strasburg, but its just weird.

ollie Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 Can I propose a Go Reds Go thread? I think guigsy has earned it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guigsy Posted September 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 hahah, let's wait till October for that, Ollie... i still dont even wanna use the "P" word... 15 years of futility will do that to ya.. deep down, tho, no one believes more than i do. i've had the mlb package basically since the young core of this team starting coming together ('06/'07) and seeing them go from a team that couldnt even spell "fundamentals" to a team that has spent this season giving a clinic in how to play the game "properly" (hard nosed, going first to third, taking the ball the other way, sacrificing at-bats, solid D, etc etc) has been amazing. a serious transformation in only a couple years. gotta credit the F/O for bringing in the key vets to set the tone (hernandez, rolen, rhodes, cabrera), and though i wasnt thrilled with the dusty hiring in the beginning, gotta say, his fingerprints are all over this team. i hope they can find a way to extend him, because i think there's a lot to be said for a team growing together, manager, players, et al. Sloth, you better be touchin' a lotta wood over there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
