flavum Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Saturday looks decent to play, if for some reason they can't play tonight. Sunday doesn't look like an all day rain. They'll play all three this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shysocks Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 8, 2015 -> 09:27 AM) Hawk saying Votto would not play not working out oops. Not sure if anybody mentioned it here, but when Hawk said that he threw in a sarcastic comment about how Votto missing the series would be a crying shame. No big deal at all, but Votto is the flag-bearer for new school, so I'm sure it was a volley in the Hawk vs. sabermetrics battle. If Victor Martinez was set to miss games against us, Hawk would stow the sarcasm and still spend three innings explaining what a great 7-8-9th inning hitter he is.

Buehrle>Wood Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 It was a funny comment. You're reading too much into it. And he didn't say he'd definitely miss it either, just maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Victor Martinez was set to miss games against us, Hawk would stow the sarcasm and still spend three innings explaining what a great 7-8-9th inning hitter he is. Why would it be a volley in Hawk vs. sabermetrics? It's not only sabermetrics where Votto comes up huge. This isn't Ben Zobrist. I'm sure Hawk would be very happy not to have to see if White Sox pitchers could get Votto out. It really is weird people have this perception of Hawk as this egotistical asshole who is grumpy all the time. If you ever decide to take a White Sox road trip and stay in the team hotel, if you run into players, coaches, broadcasters, you won't meet anyone more friendly than Hawk.

I did explicitly say it was no big deal, guys. Just an observation. Not so much about Votto putting up good numbers but more his role as almost a spokesman. Again, I imagine if it was VMart he'd call it a crying shame and actually mean it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3GamesToLove Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Damn; I've wanted to see Votto play for years. I saw the Reds play at Wrigley a few years ago and he was out then, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With storms coming from the southwest, I would imagine the wind will be blowing out between LF and CF. Should be a long high scoring game, and that does not include potential rain delays. QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ May 8, 2015 -> 11:01 AM) Setting the O/U on runs scored (assuming this one gets played) at 15. I'd say that's pretty accurate. I'll take the over.

BaconOnAStick Posted May 8, 2015 Author Share Posted May 8, 2015 I would like to into their bullpen and see Kevin Gregg pitch this weekend. -0.8 WAR in 10.2 IP, for a cool 40.50 ERA. Reds fans started a change.org petition to DFA him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the Sod Father needs some time to recover from 1-3" of rain. Good call. Just checked the weather again and the rain is supposed to move in around 6pm and last roughly three hours. There's supposed to be a window between 9-12 so maybe the game can be played if we don't get too much rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more I look at the weather, the more it looks like the game could be canceled. As a fan, I would not mind drinking for three hours waiting for the game to begin as long as the game gets played. On the other hand, I don't want to see players getting injured from a water logged baseball field either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
