Chapman will be the closer this year. To answer that question. With his mechanics he should stay healthy barring an unforeseen circumstance. The reason the reds didn't go after the big players available is because they do not need them. Someone mentioned management. You realize out GM is walt jockety. The same guy that got the cardinals where they were and have been.
I still stick to my guns on the halladay game. While he pitched great and the reds failed the cards were stacked against the reds with the way the pitches were called. The strike zone was not in favor of the reds at all. You give a pitcher like that an expanded strike zone any team is fucked.
I know you will debate that George but save it I'm not trying to start a fight reds failed that game im just annoyed by the umps. And it's not just reds fans that felt that way.
You tryin to be a hero fool? You wanna see badass mother fucker?! I'll show ya a badass!!!
Nothing I said was false he got a favorable strike zone. Reds would have still lost without it but I can almost promise he would have not got that no hitter
You tryin to be a hero fool? You wanna see badass mother fucker?! I'll show ya a badass!!!
you connot blame the umps. i told you then and i'll tell you now, i saw 2 pitches that could have went the other way (just 2). and i also saw pitches from the Reds that could have went the other way. Halladay ate yall niggaz for breakfast, just accept it and move on.
i know what i seen, and i seen way worse umps in games then halladay. halladay is a master at working the edges and corners. he owned yooz, and i'm not tryna throw it in your face, that was a great moment in my sports teams history, i'll prolly bring it up forever, it might be the only time i see a playoff no hitter in my lifetime... i'm not a jackass, just proud.
when's the bengals gonna send us that 2nd round pick for Kolb?
PHOENIX -- Zack Greinke, the offseason acquisition the Milwaukee Brewers hoped would put them over the top in their pursuit of an NL Central title, is expected to begin the season on the 15-day disabled list after suffering a hairline fracture in one of his ribs playing pickup basketball.
The Brewers previously had said only that Greinke suffered an injury a couple of weeks ago during an off-the-field activity, but Greinke didn't receive the diagnosis of a broken rib until Tuesday, just after the team's Cactus League game with the Los Angeles Dodgers. At that point, Greinke told reporters he suffered the injury going for a rebound during a basketball game, before he pitched in any spring training games.
"Everyone always told me not to do it because I was going to get hurt," Greinke said. "It finally caught up to me."
Greinke, not knowing how severe the injury was, made two spring training starts after being hurt, allowing a total of one run on six hits over 3 1/3 innings. Now that the hairline fracture, which is between the seventh and eighth ribs on his left side, has been diagnosed, Greinke is expected to miss four to six weeks, which means he likely will begin the season on the 15-day disabled list.
"I'm feeling good but it's not worth it," Greinke said. "Hopefully it won't be too long. I don't want to miss any time with the team, especially at the beginning. Until it heals there's nothing you really can do. You just need to let it heal."
The Brewers acquired Greinke on Dec. 19, prying away the 2009 AL Cy Young award winner by sending four prospects to the Kansas City Royals.
The small-market Royals were actively looking to unload the 27-year-old righty due to his expected contract demands. In return, Kansas City received two promising major leaguers in center fielder Lorenzo Cain and infielder Alcides Escobar and two pitching prospects and former first-round draft picks in right-handers Jake Odorizzi and Jeremy Jeffress for Greinke and veteran shortstop Yuniesky Betancourt.
The move immediately put the Brewers among the favorites to win the NL Central and return to the playoffs for the first time since 2008.
"It doesn't matter how he hurt it," Brewers manager Doug Melvin said. "This is part of what we go through as a GM."
Greinke, drafted sixth by the Royals in the 2002 draft, went 10-14 with a 4.17 ERA in 2010, one year after his Cy Young campaign.
