LOL, hey I followed you a lot in NCAA but saw you post a little for baseball in th beginning then it seemed like you stopped for a while. I just saw you posting today and had the reds too so thought I would check out your thread. If you are here on regular basis I will definitely be seeing what you are calling.

Also the houston game does seem like an under so I will probably take it too. Rather than take a side, but if houston is going to get an upset, this seems like a perfect chance.

Good luck 2dB.

and even as a braves backer today i will say this...tommy hanson is always inflated.....line wise....for no reason...he nibbles....throws too many fastballs....and is becoming predictable......he cannot get his off speed stuff over for good strikes......

BennyFang · 05-20-10, 03:53 PM

I actually played the Reds FF +150 for a unit mainly because I didn't think the Braves were going to score on a pitcher they'd never seen. I'm happy to win but never thought I'd see the game unravel that way.

What a massive comeback by Atlanta! Reds will have to deal with some serious issues after this debacle. Tribe may even sweep them this weekend.

Tough luck lose for Reds backers and lucky win for Braves backers... That being said I would like to say that wasn't rigged.. I am a believer in rigged shit, but striking a 97 MPH fastball that was about 4 inches off the plate is not rigged. Had any of you played the game at a high level would know this. Some can say the guy shoulda/coulda caught the ball.. That is debatable, but if it was rigged Cordero would have just groved it down the cock, not throw it 97 MPH off the plate. The Ball that was hit over the fence was not even a strike.

Slider612 · 05-20-10, 04:07 PM

Playd high school/college,an umpire can set that whole senerio up,then its up to the team hes helping to take advantage of the situation,I just hate umps.Dont be nieve u think Tim Donoughy NBA ref is the only one ever to fix a game mmm..

2daBank · 05-20-10, 04:10 PM

i dont think there was anything rigged about it i just think it sucks!!!!! and yes i think he should have caught it and id say by his reaction he would have said the same thing and id say by the reaction of the guy who hit it and thought it was caught he thought so as well

It did not have to be that pitch because it was set up for a braves win no matter when it happened he just did it with that particular pitch and if not he or one of the other braves would have did it in the next few pitches,,,,,,my god I have seen better acting at a grade school play...................Seriously you are joking with your comment I hope for your sake right??

yea once this time of year rolls around work be killing me and i dont have as much time, trust me im nothing special at baseball anyway, just try to keep entertained till NFL and the college seasons kick up so i can make some money

bostonboss · 05-20-10, 04:15 PM

not saying it happened but the catcher can tell the hitter whats coming and where...just saying lol...but i agree i dont think that was rigged

eatdust11 · 05-20-10, 04:17 PM

Wow... wonder how the Reds will respond to this... ridiculous breakdown.

Yea, ok. Even if it was rigged. For instance the umpires planned this and Reds. Do you have any idea how hard baseball is? Any? Baseball is the hardest game to play. That's why the true greats of the game fail 70% of the time and get paid big money. Had Cordero told him he was going to groove him a fastball it would still be very difficult to accompish this. It was stupid luck. The Reds should have won. Braves backers were lucky. A PH homerun at that from a guy sitting on the bench for the last 3 hours gets up and hits 97MPH fastball over the fence???

Slider612 · 05-20-10, 04:17 PM

Hey Bank im new to this site sorry for being a dick by rooting the Braves,your thread, want to come on next time when were on the same team and root with you.Peace,I say peace because if you play like i do its hard to find.Good Luck brother

2daBank · 05-20-10, 04:17 PM

Pauly you my guy and all but you think every game is fixed

bostonboss · 05-20-10, 04:19 PM

and there are notable lay down plays.............strahan's sack.........ripken's homerun in his final all star game etc etc

Slider612 · 05-20-10, 04:20 PM

used to love Farve until that play, never had much respect for him since

Edluva33 · 05-20-10, 04:21 PM

I took this line too! Close, but no cigar! Damn.

bostonboss · 05-20-10, 04:21 PM

ya that was a little sad

probably although the runners had to be holding but the fukker really should have caught it it was in his damn glove

bostonboss · 05-20-10, 04:24 PM

if cincinnati wants to be a contender they need to reconstruct the bullpen.....cordero is flat out bad..never has a 1-2-3 inning and masset is struggling.....can't win with them over the long haul

Slider612 · 05-20-10, 04:25 PM

Put this one behind you Bank,full focus for tonites games,dont let that lose be a distraction

No, I wasn't joking at all. Next time you have nothing to do go to a batting cage and set up the pitching machine to throw 97 MPH and see how many you hit over the fence. You obviously never played baseball and if you did you did not make it far. The shit that heppens on TV is harder than it looks. Like I said before it is hard to do even if the catcher told the batter the pitch and location to hit it over. Not everything is a conspiracy. It was a bad beat. It was freak luck that happens a few times a year. Believe it if you want that it was rigged, but hitting a baseball is the hardest thing to do in sports. That's why the guys that do it successfully still fail 70% of the time. How many other sports can you fail 70% of the time and be considered one of the best?? A PH comes off the bench and hits a 97mph fastball that was outside over the fence.??? That pitch had he not swung would have been called a ball. Had Cordero wanted to throw the game why didn't he reduce his velocity and throw it down the middle?

Slider612 · 05-20-10, 04:27 PM

Its amazing how he saved 13 out of 16 most real shaky,thats y stats dont always tell the whole story

bostonboss · 05-20-10, 04:30 PM

i've been on the losing side of these games many a time....but its why we bet baseball.......each game changes like a roller coaster...up and down....you are never out of a game.

bigsmitty · 05-20-10, 04:31 PM

Well said. Cheers and good luck forward all

PAULYPOKER · 05-20-10, 04:32 PM

No I don't Bank but I know every game that has a miraculous story book fable comeback with the money being on the other side is a no brain er for being rigged..

Here is proof the other night the Yanks were at a start of one of these story book comebacks but it was stopped short WHY??? because all the $ was on the Yanks

NBA in the playoffs is not rigged because the teams paid their dues during regular season with the books,, HOLY FUKK look at Boston and Lakers these ass wipes threw more games and spreads/point shaving than all other teams combined and this is why you will see them in the NBA title game because they paid their dues for the books,,, the NBA side of the equation they are the 2 most popular teams in the NBA by a fukking landslide!!!!! Which is a $ generating machine.... Coincidence I don't think so..............................

bostonboss · 05-20-10, 04:32 PM

good luck to you smitty

bostonboss · 05-20-10, 04:34 PM

pauly would the game have been fixed if you bet the braves?

Cincinnati's bullpen is not as bad as the numbers look. Cordero has had 5 1-2-3 outings this year. He has done a nice job on the year, but his last few outings he has been a little off. I am not worried. I think Cordero was 39/41 last year. Look at the Brewers. They Reds offered him four million dollars more to sign with them and since what has Milwaukee had? They tried the Gagne experience and after Hoffman's excellent season he is almost out of baseball this year.

Masset's last eight innings were scoreless going into today. He gave up 5 runs opening day which inflates his numbers. He wasn't warmed up today and Cairo had the fielding error for hit second better.

cappinthepigs · 05-20-10, 04:35 PM

Nice pick

Slider612 · 05-20-10, 04:36 PM

gotta love it right boston,no turnovers,no clock,just time to posably pull out a game, right to the end theres always hope,had hope even in bottom 9 down 7,this ones history on to the next
