Boy, Casey Janssen just lost every ounce of his talent all at once, didn't he?

the ball was definitely in his glove.. just watched the replay again
dunno what they were watching
I'll have to watch it again. It looked like the ball was in his left hand when he tagged Crawford with the right hand. He brought in the left hand towards the glove after Crawford had tagged home plate.

Fuck Cobb, Janssen, and Perkins. Pieces of shit.
I'm just happy it wasn't due to the home plate blocking rule.

Sergio Santos: living proof that no matter how terrible Janssen may be, the Jays still have someone worse in their bullpen.

How many extra innings games end up being massive blowouts? This team is just embarrassing to watch. On the upside: position player pitching!
EDIT: Tolleson with two outs in a row! He's better than Janssen AND Santos combined.

I don't even know what to think anymore. They at least need to blow up and rebuild the bullpen.

Well Santos and Janssen are gone in a month regardless, since the latter is a free agent and there's zero chance Santos' option gets picked up.
In any case, I think the bullpen is the least of their worries. Those are generally pretty unpredictable. Whereas the general suckiness of almost everyone else on the team could've been predicted by everyone.

mattingly trolling the dbacks
There's no way that's true.
My luck...I win 2 really good Reds tickets for the game this Thursday just to find out it's an afternoon game and the only friend that originally could make it at that time backed out. Winning tickets for a game during work hours...cruel. It was right by the visitors' dugout which would have been fun.

i've been begging for over 5 years.
Brennaman said it. I'm inclined to believe but I'm on my phone getting ready to go to bed so I'm not going to fact check it. I guess it won't be officially final though for another 2 games.
He does have a great glove. Our bats are alive tonight though.

Here's the Reds all time series vs the Cubs since 1901 and it's just about dead even.

Either you heard wrong or Brennaman is an idiot since he's wrong on both counts.
Reds are up 9-5 this year and lost the season series to the Cubs 10-5 in 2009.

Baez's K Rate is hilarious. IDK if we should send him down or not though.
You have to go all the way back to 2009!

Lol.
Thom or Marty?
DietRob
i've been begging for over 5 years.
Thom, that's where I went wrong. Little weasel.
It's totally possible that I heard it wrong too. But I do feel better just continuing to believe Thom is the dumbass.
I think what's more hilarious is Janssen. He was one of those players who were furious at the management who didn't do anything during the trade deadline and since then he has been playing shit lol

That pretty much captures the essence of this team, doesn't it? They suck when it matters (and the numbers even show it!), but the moment all pressure is off, they suddenly come through a little. Not so much they actually win, of course, but enough to make you think they should be better.
