    I don’t understand why it’s not a given that any team would sac-bunt with that make believe baserunner in extras. I’d do it every time until they changed the rule.

    The boss is giving me the evil eye, so I have to get outside and tend to the grill. Good luck.

    He probably gave Hicks the baseball from the clubhouse.

    Why would any thinking person! A person with a sane mind, choose Jordan Hicks in this situation! Been watching baseball for 50+ years and that is as dumb as it gets!

    Hicks with a tie game in the 10th. Really? And we pay the price…

    Here we go, Euro. Hicks in extras just like you called it…

    Lol, so Oli does have a sense of humor…and McEwing.

    Mo, Oli, et al deserve an A+ for stubbornness. How many times do you have to look really stupid before you realize like just like all the others realize….that you’re stupid.

    WTF is someone thinking???

    Hicks?????

    Surely from now on out he becomes nothing but a mop up pitcher.

    When I saw that he was in to pitch I started to yell at the screen. Whitey Herdog looked at me like I was crazy.

    Too many opportunities not seized, then add Hicks as the cherry on top.

    Yeah, I don’t get it. What’s so inane is that every time he makes an appearance, the game’s been tied, close or reasonably within reach. I understand making an attempt to get him right, but give him the baseball after you’re down by 5 or 6 runs late.

    Hicks is simply no longer an MLB pitcher. We can’t use him for anything going forward.

    If Hicks pitches in another ML game this year Marmol needs to be demoted.

    It won’t be too long before Hicks takes on the look of the pitching counterpart of Paul DeJong. It reached a point last season when DeJong’s overall countenance as he strode to the batter’s box was that of a man being led to the gallows. I felt sorry for him and I’m beginning to feel sorry for Hicks. They’re not doing him any favors.

    3-2 in the second 10.

    Gonna need a nice little winning streak to hit the 7-3 mark for the second 10 to be at.500 after 20 games.

    What the . . .I come back in from lighting my grill and they burnt the game to the ground. What happened?

    Someone explain to me why a guy that throws 100+ mph throws six straight sliders to McCutchen???

    I’m beginning to feel sorry for Hicks. They’re not doing him any favors.

    It’s been a multi-year project, but maybe the Cards have ruined him. They’ve had me shaking my head with how many bumbling pitching mistakes they’ve made the last 2 or 3 years. They should just do Hicks a favor and let him go so another team can work with him. They probably owe him that much, and also to save them from themselves.

    I ran out patience with Marmol. He better go and take baseball managing 101.

    Hensley hasn’t pitched that great since the all star break last season, and even worse this year, but Marmol won’t be able to figure that out until it’s too late.

    How do I know that? Hicks hasn’t pitched well in two years, and Marmol STILL hasn’t figured that one out.

    The Reds are up 5-0 in the 4th inning of their game at home against PHI. Right now it’s the Cardinals and CIN battling each other to avoid last place in the NLC. Not what I would have expected.

    It is not the umpires. This team is struggling.

    Knowing Mo an extension for Hicks could be in the works.

    This team is so frustrating. I think I need to take a few days off.
