    Brad Penny?

    How desprite are the Marlins for an SP that they sign this guy out of retirement who had a 6 ERA in the japan league. I know reds offense has been pretty terrible, but even they can come out of their funk hitting off of Penny.

    Line only at -141 at the moment.

    Good information,but as you'll notice, good info doesn't sell here.

    Try something like...i got some inside information on baseball games
    or i give my word this play will win or the 2 standards... I got a lock or I gaurantee this game will win.

    Thanks for the info i will try to take advantage of it.

    How is the over 7.5 not a fkn steal here at -115?
    Rarely bet totals but I'm on this one.
    Simon has been a gascan lately.
    Penny has been one his whole career.

    haha i notice that. Just don't see this ending well for penny tonight, reds still have some power hitters who should blast this guy. Cant see him getting through this game without at least 3 runs scored. I doubt he makes it past the 5th.

    eh, his ERA is good, but if you look at his total pitches/strikes ratio its pretty bad.

    Marlins spot Penny a lead, he gives it back in 8 pitches.

    Looks like Simon might be the SP who gives up a-lot of runs. Guy can't get anybody out, and even when he does reds don't execute. Not exactly sure a guy scores on a ground ball unless they were playing hit an run, which doesn't make sense with 1 out.

    Yes, Simon might give up the majority of those runs by the looks of it lol. Miami is hitting him hard, he may be out by the 5th too

    somehow Penny is dominating while having a 50 percent strike rate. Come on Reds the penetrate is a matter with you guys.

    Got to expect more runs to come across this inning, Simon had trouble with the 7-8 hitters last inning. So really going to need the Reds offense to have a huge game.

    i think i'm gonna start fading simon for the rest of the season.

    he definitely overachieved the first half of the season.

    Reds missed a huge chance, getting a bit worried about this game now. Bruce thrown at home, making the 2nd out,really? Bases would have been loaded with reds clean up hitter coming up next, why in the world would you send him.

    Lets hope Simon can keep it up, he has allowed 1 hit since the first. Facing top of order again now.

    baseball wagering is never easy but gotta give penny some credit. the guy hasn't been in the league for ages and still did decent.

    that's hard to do...

    Reds gave him some help, 4 walks and 4 hits in 4 innings pitched.

    But anyways Simon is back to his old ways, walks Solono on four pitches with Stanton on deck. Very smart LOL

    Update> Now walks Stanton after having him 0-2. Looks like he is about to blow.

    Update> Simon just walked the bases load LOL

    Penny is worthless. I would cringe everytime he came in for the Giants. Penny = Joe Blanton Version 2.0

    Reds are worthless, they only score 2 runs off Penny. Then they give up 2 runs to basically the bottom of the order. This team will finish a few games under .500 at least

    in retrospect, passing on this game was the right thing to do.

    it was a fishy line. the line should've been -160 to -170.

    soon as people saw penny as a starter, including myself, we started thinking easy money. oh well, onto the next game.

    SERIOUSLY. seriously.
    3-1 count billy ham up, PH got on base.
    next pitch, caught stealing
    next pitch hamilton strikes out
    reds are by far the worst offensive team in the NL right now
    they just find ways to lose
