Game 6: Reds vs. Pirates Game Thread

[NatiRedGals]

Game 6 starts in an hour and half!:eek: Sadly I wasnt able to go dad got sick my luck :( Been waiting anyway im here with you guys! :)

This will be Williams' first start against Pirates, who dealt him to Cincinnati in December for first baseman Sean Casey. The left-hander was the Pirates' only double-digit winning pitcher last season, where several career bests -- including a 138 2/3 innings pitched -- were established. In two career games at Great American Ball Park, Williams is 1-1 with a 4.09 ERA.

Santos will look to rebound from a shaky debut with the Pirates in his second start. Tuesday, Santos continually fell behind Brewers hitters and was knocked out of the game after allowing three runs on eight hits and two walks in just 4 1/3 innings. Santos is 2-1 with a 7.03 ERA in eight career appearances against the Reds.

[wheels]

This might be something of a slugfest, eh?

[NatiRedGals]

IDK maybe but I think Williams is gonna surpise alot of people :)

It's WHO he surprises that is the burning question.

[redsfan30]

This game has 12-10 written all over it.

[NatiRedGals]

Would you guys like me to use a picture lineup again? like i did yesterday??

[kbrake]

lineups?

[smith288]

im not holding my breath...Law of averages have to indicate a Reds L here... I dont have a whole heck of a lot of faith in his arm.

We shall see what we shall see.

[smith288]

Would you guys like me to use a picture lineup again? like i did yesterday??
Do what you wish... Just appreciating the thread. :)

[NatiRedGals]

k i made sure i saved all the pic links from yesterday so i dont have to keep updating LOL :) got to get ready for chicago but i have a off day for that!

[wheels]

What are the odds of Casey taking Williams deep?

I really think it will happen.

[redsfan30]

Are they still rollin' with the red uniforms on Sundays at home?

[reds44]

Am I the only one who thinks Dave Williams actually might not suck?

[reds44]

Are they still rollin' with the red uniforms on Sundays at home?
I hope so. I love those.

[NatiRedGals]

I hope so. I love those.

Ive been saying i dont think he will suck :):thumbup:

[NatiRedGals]

Thanks Fanatic

[FlyingPig]

I need some lineups to see if Freel, Lopez, or Dunn sits on my bench today..

(yes, I'm first in my fantasy league with those 3 guys) ;)

[NatiRedGals]

Freel sits

[Redmachine2003]

I can't believe that Freel sits after the games he has had. I guess JN doesn't believe in sticking with the hot bat.

[OnBaseMachine]

Simply stunning that Freel is on the bench.

[wheels]

Is it me, or does the catcher ALWAYS hit in the eight slot in a Jerry Narron lineup?

[kbrake]

I would have been much more schocked if Freel was playing.

[wheels]

Simply stunning that Freel is on the bench.

I hope it's not because of a trade.

Of course we know it's really because a righty is starting.:bang:

[smith288]

Simply stunning that Freel is on the bench.
Who wins in a scrappiness fight?

[Matt700wlw]

Freel sitting is stupid.

I said yesterday he should start 4-5 times a week, and play off the bench
2-3 times a week.

So far, that isn't happening.

[Dunner44]

Casey is something like 1 for 9 with 2 Ks vs. Dave lifetime...

[Gallen5862]

Thanks for the lineup. I just had to bench Freel in my fantasy team.

[Matt700wlw]

This whole platooning players everyday thing has got to stop. Somebody has to go.

Jerry's trying to make sure everybody gets playing time like it's little league or something.

[kbrake]

Matt that is exactly what this is all about. I knew Womack would play today beacause Narron is trying to so hard to keep everyone happy. When we face a lefty expect Freel, a righty Womack. A trade will go down very soon, I'm just afraid it will be Womack getting a lot more starts when that trade does indeed go down.

[NatiRedGals]

Im just hoping i get to watch it today somedays i get passed the blackout others i dont lol i dont know its really weird proves they dont understand there own system!

[lucky bugle boy]

Thanks for the lineup. I just had to bench Freel in my fantasy team.
Same here. He's paid dividends so far, huh?

[StillFunkyB]

More fun than a pillow fight

http://www.littlebruiser.com.au/files/thumbnails/t_16243.jpg

Man, those things were fun.

Still are, especially when you've had a few drinks! ;)

[StillFunkyB]

I also do not understand this "keeping the players happy" mentality. This ISN'T little league. Your doing well, you play. If your going to whine about it, take your cheese and go somewhere else.

[Newman4]

Am I the only one who thinks Dave Williams actually might not suck?

I don't think he'll suck, but I don't see him being outstanding either.

[Gallen5862]

Yes in first place. One day didn't see he was playing in time and lost 3 steals. I also have Dunn and Kearns and Lopez and Larue and Claussen and Milton and Williams And Weathers lol. I dropped Aurillia .

[Newman4]

I hope it's not because of a trade.

Of course we know it's really because a righty is starting.:bang:

Rich A isn't in there either, maybe he's getting traded?

[NatiRedGals]

LOL whoever has mlb tv turn it on the phillie game its the food network or something LOL

[NatiRedGals]

Thats a waste of 15 bucks right there hahaha

[Elam]

Kearns needs to be batting higher than 7th.

[Crash Davis]

You know what's funny? Complaining about Narron's choices for the lineup when the guys he's thrown out there so far are hitting a combined .333/.429/.607 after five games. Whatever he's doing, it's working better than everyone else in the league.

Sure Ryan Freel should be playing more often. But this team has great depth right now. When Womack has played, he's produced. Ditto Aurilia. Ditto Hatteberg. If they don't produce, they won't play. That's what's great about having options.

Maybe, just maybe, Jerry Narron has an idea about what he's doing out there. Since he's taken over this club last season, I think he's done a very good job of playing the match-ups.

[NatiRedGals]

Chats open:)

[membengal]

The line-up is what it is, at least it isn't one of Boone's and Miley's patented stomach-churning Sunday specials...

[NatiRedGals]

Anyone Watching it on MLB.TV?? The Reds that is!?

Thank you! That is what I have been saying. Ovbiously Narron is doing something right with his lineup.

[reds44]

This Pirates pre game show is so lame, but I guess it is better then nothing.

Anybody else able to watch the game or am I alone?

Narron's made some lame roster decisions, and is brutally slow with the hook, but in general, I don't have much of a problem with his lineups.

I do have a serious problem with his deployment of the bullpen--particularly his unwillingness to bring in Belisle as the first arm out the pen, mid-inning, and allowing soft-tossers like Burns and Weathers to start innings only. And this goes back to last year as well.

[reds44]

Never heard that one before....






If It's not broke don't fix it. I have no problem with the platooning as long as it works.

[redsmetz]

This game has 12-10 written all over it.

As long as we're the 12, I can live with that. Heck, back in the day with the Red Stockings.... :)

I agree with the bullpen deployment as a weakness of Narron's. And I like the Belisle idea -- a lot.

But I generally think Narron's greatest strength since he has taken over is lineup construction and playing match-ups. I was pleasantly surprised last season, but I thought that might just have been relative to the Miley lineup fiasco.

I'm no longer surprised. To me, Narron has proven that he has better than average acumen when it comes to making the best choices for the lineup on an everyday basis.

[UPRedsFan]

Am I the only one who thinks Dave Williams actually might not suck?
I'm with you Reds44. Will he have an ERA under 4 and throw 200+ innings? Affirmatively no. But he will not suck like Ortiz or Milton of last year.

[M2]

It seems pretty clear right not that Womack/Freel and Hatteberg/Aurilia are traditional platoons.

Now, I don't like the fact that Womack's going to get the lion's share of the PT at 2B, but until he tears off a truly Womacknificent month. The I think we have to expect him in the lineup and leading off against RHPs.

[M2]

I'm with you Reds44. Will he have an ERA under 4 and throw 200+ innings? Affirmatively no. But he will not suck like Ortiz or Milton of last year.

IMO, he'll suck exactly like Ortiz of 2005.

[reds44]

Don't all of our games have 12-10 written all over it?

[Big Klu]

If It's not broke don't fix it. I have no problem with the platooning as long as it works.

Platooning (along with the double-switch) also gets bench players more involved in the game. And as long as they are being productive (which they currently are), I think that's a good thing.

On a semi-related note, how much complaining about lineups and who was or was not starting would the typical RedsZoner have done if RedsZone had been around in 1990?! It seems to me that Lou Piniella played a lot of people, either with spot starts or coming in as part of a double-switch. I have a feeling that there would have been a lot of hate for Herm Winningham, Ron Oester, and Luis Quiñones.

[Casey_21]

Kearns needs to be batting higher than 7th.

Thats what I'm talkin' bout. If nothing else, above Hatteburg. The man is on fire right now...

[M2]

Benzinger would have been the chief complaint in 1990.

[reds44]

Play ball!

[KronoRed]

Simply stunning that Freel is on the bench.
It's REDS baseball.

[REDSEER]

1st pitch 86 mph.....:help:

[CincyRedsFan30]

Duffy K's. 1 out.

[Reds Fanatic]

Duffy strikes out swinging. 1 out.

[reds44]

He Gone!

[CincyRedsFan30]

Wilson flies out to RF. 2 outs.

[reds44]

Easy fly out to AK

2 down

[Caveat Emperor]

Maybe, just maybe, Jerry Narron has an idea about what he's doing out there. Since he's taken over this club last season, I think he's done a very good job of playing the match-ups.

You'd have to be out of your skull to have Ryan Freel anywhere other than the starting lineup, given how productive he and Lopez were at the top of the lineup yesterday.

Why bench someone so hot that does so many different things well?

[Dunner44]

Wow, duffy has been horrible.. this is what you DON'T want from your lead off batter kids. Maybe we can trade them Womack, and they can put him in CF ;)

[CincyRedsFan30]

Bay singles.

[reds44]

base hit

[CincyRedsFan30]

Craig Wilson grounds out to SS. Pirates 0, Reds coming up.

[reds44]

inning over!

[Dunner44]

nice little 1 2 3 oops 4 inning for dave

[SirFelixCat]

Nice start, Dave. Oh, and Womack starting again. Seriously, what does Freel have to do?!?

[M2]

Chris Duffy and Jack Wilson are like sherbet. They clear your palate before any real hitters come to the plate.

[CincyRedsFan30]

Womack flies to RF. 1 out.

[reds44]

Womack flies out.

[Falls City Beer]

Tony swinging at stuff up in the zone.

[CincyRedsFan30]

Lopez K's. 2 outs.

[Caveat Emperor]

Nice start, Dave. Oh, and Womack starting again. Seriously, what does Freel have to do?!?

Wait 5-6 years until his skills have declined and Jerry Narron remembers him as being good at one time, and then puts him in the lineup to give veteran depth at second base.

[CincyRedsFan30]

Griffey grounds to 3B. 0-0 after 1.

[reds44]

Junior is struggling

[REDSEER]

productive inning for the top of the order

[CincyRedsFan30]

Burnitz Doubles.

[reds44]

Leadoff double

[smith288]

Did anyone have MLB Audio last year and it not recur for this year?

[KronoRed]

Why bench someone so hot that does so many different things well?
Kooky lefty? :D

[CincyRedsFan30]

Randa flies to 2B. 1 out. Nice play by Womack.

[reds44]

Williams throws alot of pitches.

Nice grab by Womack!!

[Reds Fanatic]

Good play by Womack on the fly ball in foul territory.

[RawOwl UK]

good play by Womack

[CincyReds2003]

You'd have to be out of your skull to have Ryan Freel anywhere other than the starting lineup, given how productive he and Lopez were at the top of the lineup yesterday.

Why bench someone so hot that does so many different things well?


I couldn't agree with you more...Freel needs to be our everyday 2B..No ifs, ands, or buts about it. The guy makes things happen..Womack might be doing well, but he does not have the versatility that Freel has. Even those in my fantasy league at work(I'm the only Reds fan in the league) is even wondering why the hell isn't Freel starting. Womack is the past, Freel is the present and the future. As someone stated earlier, this isn't Little League, this is the big time. Do you see Marvin Lewis starting Kenny Watson over Rudi Johnson? NO!!!!!!!

[KronoRed]

Freel would have done it better :evil:

[SirFelixCat]

Just read this on Marc's blog(:thumbup:)

Jason LaRue will not be with the team Tuesday in Chicago. Instead, he'll head to Sarasota to catch Paul Wilson's start in extended spring training. The Reds want LaRue to get at least a little game action under his belt before he is activated from the DL.

[CincyRedsFan30]

Balk called on Williams. Burnitz to 3B with 1 out.

[Reds Fanatic]

Balk moves the runner to 3rd.

[reds44]

Williams balks

[CincyRedsFan30]

Castillo K's. 2 outs.

[Reds Fanatic]

Williams 2nd K of the day.

[reds44]

He Gone!

[KronoRed]

What's with all the balks? :dunno:

[REDSEER]

How does a major league team have two balks this early in the year?

[reds44]

Dave has a good curve.

[CincyRedsFan30]

Cota grounds to 2B. 0-0, Mid. 2nd.

[SirFelixCat]

Williams looking pretty doggone sharp today :thumbup:

[reds44]

inning over!

0-0

[RawOwl UK]

and 3

[SirFelixCat]

You guys read what I posted about Larue (per Marc) that Larue going to Sarasota to make a rehab start. Smart, imo, by the FO to get him some AB's prior to sticking him back in the lineup.

[REDSEER]

high pitch count, but the outs are the only things that matter to me

[Dunner44]

All i can think of when I think of balks is Bob Wickman... hes a fat turd.

[KronoRed]

Who'll be the 3rd catcher then? ;)

[Dunner44]

high pitch count, but the outs are the only things that matter to me


You'll be singing a different tune when the BP blows the game after Williams exits. On the plus side, no walks for dave thus far.

[Tommyjohn25]

Who'll be the 3rd catcher then? ;)


Tony Womack?

[KronoRed]

Does he look high? :lol:

[CincyRedsFan30]

Dunn singles.

[captainmorgan07]

basehit for dunn

[reds44]

Base hit for Dunn.

EE up

[captainmorgan07]

[Casey_21]

Wow... I cant believe how good Reds pitching has been so far this year... Bullpen excluded.

[REDSEER]

knock on wood

[KronoRed]

Dunn with a solid vet hit.

[NatiRedGals]

Looks like a bug:)

[CincyRedsFan30]

EdE K's looking. 1 out.

[reds44]

EE couldn't pull the trigger

[REDSEER]

not impressed by EE in the first week of the season......

[cincy09]

anybody know what they called the balk on williams for

The only thing i saw was he didnt pause long once he got set

[KronoRed]

Gonna be growing pains..have to leave him in and let him work through it, won't do it in AAA or the bench.

[CincyRedsFan30]

Hatteberg flies out to deep CF. 2 outs. Now they say Dunn didn't touch 2B as he retraced his steps, so it's a DP.

0-0 after 2.

[reds44]

not impressed by EE in the first week of the season......
Yeah he only has a .360 OBP

:rolleyes:

[OnBaseMachine]

anybody know what they called the balk on williams for

He didn't pause before delivering the pitch.

[Reds Fanatic]

Hatteberg just missed flied out to the warning track in center.

[SirFelixCat]

Hatte gave it a good ride....

[Reds Fanatic]

Dunn did not touch 2nd on the way back to 1st and that ends the inning.

[NatiRedGals]

Aw EE gets ripped off everytime lol

[reds44]

Good baserunning by Dunn.

[captainmorgan07]

dunn gets doubled up for not retouching second

[KronoRed]

Yikes.

[SirFelixCat]

Dunn didn't step on 2nd on his way back to 1st and gets double up. End of 2.

[Matt700wlw]

Adam Duhn.....:)

[KronoRed]

Designated runner? ;)

[M2]

They're not working Santos very much as of yet.

[reds44]

Oooo replay shows he MIGHT have touched it. It was very close.

[SirFelixCat]

Even the Pirates announces are lamenting Freel not starting. :sad:

[captainmorgan07]

even the pirates announcers say that freel needs to be in the lineup

[CincyRedsFan30]

Santos singles.

[OnBaseMachine]

Williams gives up a hit to Santos.:rolleyes:

[cincy09]

Pirates TV announcers are gushing over Freel and feel "relieved" he's not in todays lineup

[captainmorgan07]

then they claim we would be a better defensive ball club with dunn at first freel and second and womack in left i agree witht eh first two points but womack in left

[westofyou]

even the pirates announcers say that freel needs to be in the lineup
Yeah they say Womack should be too... :rolleyes:

[KronoRed]

Even the Pirates announces are lamenting Freel not starting. :sad:
They have a similar problem in Wilson living on the bench

[REDSEER]

Oh well maybe Duffy will GIDP

[KronoRed]

Yeah they say Womack should be too... :rolleyes:
Homers.

[captainmorgan07]

that shoulda been strike 3

[SirFelixCat]

ooooohhhhhh, that was CLOSE!

[CincyRedsFan30]

Duffy K's looking. 1 out.

[captainmorgan07]

strikes him out with the curve

[Reds Fanatic]

3rd K for Williams

[reds44]

He Gone!

Dave has a really good curve.

[REDSEER]

Hard not to like Duffy.......

[SirFelixCat]

That's a disgustingly good slurve Williams has.

[cincy09]

squeezed on the corner but gets the high pitch

[KronoRed]

Just throw the curve Dave

[CincyRedsFan30]

Wilson lines into a DP at 1B. 0-0, Mid. 3rd.

[cincy09]

dp

[reds44]

Double play!

[Reds Fanatic]

Line double play to Hatteberg. 0-0 mid 3rd.

[REDSEER]

avoiding early trouble....I'm starting to like Williams already

[M2]

Mmm, sherbet.

[REDSEER]

:lol:

[KronoRed]

Throw a shutout :D

[captainmorgan07]

[OnBaseMachine]

That was not a strike.

[reds44]

Kearns Ks

[M2]

WOY, but when does Branch Rickey show up for the Bucs this time?

[reds44]

That was not a strike.
Neither was the pitch EE k'd on.

[Caveat Emperor]

Austin Kearns does not get ahead in the count very frequently... If he wants to get more consistent, he needs to do a better job avoiding pitchers counts.

[NatiRedGals]

intesting facts

[CincyRedsFan30]

Valentin grounds to 1B. 2 outs.

[OnBaseMachine]

Great patience by Reds hitters today against a horrible pitcher.

Dave Williams doesn't get cheated on his swings.

[Reds Nd2]

Did anyone have MLB Audio last year and it not recur for this year?

I've been unable to log onto All Access since late Friday night. I keep getting a screen which says I need to purchase a subsription. Sent MLB an e-mail and stayed on hold yesterday for 40 minutes trying to ascertain what the problem is.

The subscription renews automatically and I've never had a problem before. I don't know what the deal is this year. I'm sorry that your having problems but I'm glad to know it isn't just me. If that makes sense.Try using Game Live (http://www.thegamelive.com/) to get the audio but you may have to try several links to get one that's streaming the game.

[REDSEER]
