4/20/06 - Reds vs Brewers Game Thread

[reds44]

He Gone!

[Big Klu]

I say somebody in Cleveland just was fired!!

However, Brandon Phillips wasn't going to play in Cleveland with Ronnie "Mini-ManRam" Belliard at 2B, and Jhonny "I can't spell Johnny" Peralta at SS.

[Heath]

So much for my 11-9 prediction -

and I'm 3 outs from owing CE a $1.

[reds44]

Reds on a 10-0 run.

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :beerme: :thumbup:

[redsfan4445]

I would say we wont see Williams starting anymore...Belise looking gooooooooodddddddddddddddd

[Redmachine2003]

When Jr comes back it is time for Dunn to move to 1st and Freel to stay in the out field.

[edabbs44]

Let's get enough to get some work in for White and Hammy. I have the over (23.5) in this one.

[THNDRacket]

Yes, amazing plate discipline by EE, after hitting a 2-run homer, he is able to take those close pitches for a walk.

And Brandon Phillips! Ronnie Belliard must be a heck of a ballplayer.

[flyer85]

However, Brandon Phillips wasn't going to play in Cleveland with Ronnie "Mini-ManRam" Belliard at 2B, and Jhonny "I can't spell Johnny" Peralta at SS.He was a guy that needed a change of address. It wasn't going to happen in Cleveland

[Wheelhouse]

Belisle looking sharper now..

[KronoRed]

E-Squared and BP have all 9 RBIs
Youth rocks.

[Larry Schuler]

Yes, Carlos. Do that again one more time.

[redsfan30]

Carlos Lee (Hardy at second)

Pitch 1: Ball
Pitch 2: Called Strike
Pitch 3: Strike Swinging
Pitch 4: Ball
Pitch 5: Ball
Pitch 6: Groundout to short...runner moves to third

2 out

[Heath]

Wow -Carlos Lee & Prince Fielder looking like the buffet line's open again at the MCL in the Westside Mall.

[2001MUgrad]

When Jr comes back it is time for Dunn to move to 1st and Freel to stay in the out field.

Yes, its important that we keep Freel in the lineup more days than not if Phillips proves to be an everyday 2B.

[Redmachine2003]

I just hope that BP doesn't start trying to hit homers now and change his swing by trying to pull everything or lift the ball.

[griffeyfreak4]

God, this lineup looks devastating at times. How many serious Reds fans are there in the country? Conservatively, say 1 million. Let's start a donation pot, everyone gives in $10 to get some pitching.

I say we take dsmith421's idea and put Milton in the stocks and let people pay to pelt him with tomatoes.

Milton could make us a million bucks easy.

:beerme:

[Heath]

Cincinnati, it's Bill Effin' Hall.

[Big Klu]

He was a guy that needed a change of address. It wasn't going to happen in Cleveland

I agree. I'm just glad that his new address is in the same state as his old one. :)

[Heath]

I just hope that BP doesn't start trying to hit homers now and change his swing by trying to pull everything or lift the ball.

That's a legimate concern. But I think Chris Chambliss can help with that.

[CTA513]

I just checked out the Bats game on MILB.com and they are already up 10-1 in the 3rd inning.

:ughmamoru

[2001MUgrad]

MLB audio.. Is something up with my computer or did it not work for anyone tonight??

[Larry Schuler]

Dave Williams is in the clubhouse smiling right now.

"I did it guys! I did my job! I done good!"

[johngalt]

The press release is being typed up as we speak...

The Reds today placed LHP Dave Williams on the 15-day disabled list with a fractured psyche and recalled LHP Michael Gosling from Triple-A Louisville.

[reds44]

Anybody have BP's updated stats???

[Big Klu]

When Jr comes back it is time for Dunn to move to 1st and Freel to stay in the out field.

I was thinking the same thing. (Either that, or let's see what Griffey can do at 1B.)

[KronoRed]

CF Freel
SS Lopez
LF JR
1B Dunn
RF Kearns
3B EE
2B Phillips
C LaRue

Fear it.

[KySteveH]

Is it just me, or is Belisle throwing a wicked slider tonight? I didn't know he had that.

[Reds Nd2]

Just 16 games into the season
Dunn 14 RBI
EE 14 RBI
BP 13 RBI

BB's
Dunn 16
EE 10
BP 0

[griffeyfreak4]

When Jr comes back it is time for Dunn to move to 1st and Freel to stay in the out field.

Word.

[Heath]

nice pool shot, Bill Hall - maybe that will fix the ump's double vision.

[flyer85]

Belisle may not be any great shakes but he is a stud compared to Williams

[GullyFoyle]

By no means picking on BP, but should there be any concern that he hasn't walked in 32 at bats?

His AVG = OBP... small sample?

[paintmered]

CF Freel
SS Lopez
LF JR
1B Dunn
RF Kearns
3B EE
2B Phillips
C LaRue

Fear it.

I tremble.

[WebScorpion]

Phillips is about to do to Womack what Felipe Lopez did to Aurilia last season. :thumbup:

[2001MUgrad]

By no means picking on BP, but should there be any concern that he hasn't walked in 32 at bats?

His AVG = OBP... small sample?

The name Reggie Taylor comes to mind.

[redsfan30]

Bill Hall (Hardy at third)

Pitch 1: Called Strike
Pitch 2: Ball
Pitch 3: Ball
Pitch 4: Strike Swinging
Pitch 5: Foul off the homeplate umpire
Pitch 6: Strike Swinging

After 6

Reds 12
Brewers 6


And with that, I'll let someone else take us the rest of the way.

[pedro]

MLB audio.. Is something up with my computer or did it not work for anyone tonight??

I've had a lot of problems with it this year. Haven't tried tonight but my guess is that if it's worked for you before tonight that it's probably just them, they're having a lot of problems.

[flyer85]

Presenting Jerry and Wayne with some issues when Jr comes back.

[Reds Fanatic]

Anybody have BP's updated stats???
.379 AVG, 2 HR, 13 RBI

[KronoRed]

They will stop throwing him meat now, hopefully he'll lay off the stuff he can't hit.

[CincyRedsFan30]

Nice work by Belisle tonight.

If he can control his pitches other than his fastball more consistently, he could be pretty good. I think it's time to start him in Williams' place in the rotation.

Even if he remains not so pitch efficient, he would still likely be a much better option than Dave Williams because he at least has one "out" pitch.

[Big Klu]

Tuesday's starter in Washington: Matt Belisle

[johngalt]

By no means picking on BP, but should there be any concern that he hasn't walked in 32 at bats?

His AVG = OBP... small sample?

It's a legitimate concern. He's definitely not going to hit .350 and slug .600 all year.

At the same time, he's never been one to walk much, so it's not anything out of the ordinary for him.

[paintmered]

Let's see how he does when they stop throwing him stuff he can drive and he needs to be more selective.

[Larry Schuler]

The hamster wheels are already turning on ways to discredit Brandon Phillips impressive performance so far. BRING IT ON!

[flyer85]

By no means picking on BP, but should there be any concern that he hasn't walked in 32 at bats?

His AVG = OBP... small sample?at this point pitchers are up there challenging him. The issue will be does he start chasing if they give him less to hit. I haven't noticed chasing bad pitches but he really hasn't had to deal with that situation yet

[Gandalf the Red]

The name Reggie Taylor comes to mind.

That guy sure was fast! ;)

[KronoRed]

That guy sure was fast! ;)
Fast out of the league as well ;)

[paintmered]

Psst......A bunch of rbis is what happens when people batting ahead get on base.

[Big Klu]

No George, I thought that was an accountant!

[CincyRedsFan30]

By no means picking on BP, but should there be any concern that he hasn't walked in 32 at bats?

His AVG = OBP... small sample?

There is a bit of concern from me. He could turn into a "semi-Vlad" in that he gets on through a lot of contact, but I somehow doubt it. If he can learn to draw some BB, he could be a darn good player, IMO. The HR would probably come even more frequently for him.

Although in all fairness, he hadn't proven much in the bigs before coming to the Reds, so he really doesn't seem to be getting a huge number of balls thrown. But if he keeps smashing the ball, he will probably get pitched around a bit more. How he reacts(patience or lack thereof) will show us whether he is ready to take that next step.

[Sea Ray]

Do you think Brandon Phillips' performance will cost the Reds a better prospect? Sometimes these player to be named later deals are dependant on the performance of the player being traded. If he does well, the Indians get to choose from the A list agreed upon before Phillips played an inning for the Reds.

I'd like to see "that player" be named sooner rather than later...

[flyer85]

Psst......A bunch of rbis is what happens when people batting ahead get on base.nah, he's scrappy. get em on, get em all in at once

[WebScorpion]

That's a legimate concern. But I think Chris Chambliss can help with that.

That reminds me of a quote from Phillips that I read recently where he said it was nice to be with a team that tells him exactly how they want him to hit. Apparently, CC is driving home that Phillips is a singles hitter and it looks like it's working. I'm surprised someone didn't communicate that to him MUCH earlier in his career. :eek:

[KySteveH]

No George, I thought that was an accountant!
Where'd all these baseball players come from?

FeLo walks

[flyer85]

I'd like to see "that player" be named sooner rather than later...generally a list is drawn up at the time of the trade

[Aronchis]

What was with Belisle's fastball tonight? When he came out when the Marlin's beatdown the Reds the other night, he was barely getting over 90, tonight he was firing bullets. Maybe he is a 'adrenaline" pitcher. Williams's failure got him fired up.

[Heath]

Presenting Jerry and Wayne with some issues when Jr comes back.

Well, here's one - Release Tony Womack.

Then play Freel 3-5 times a week.

Not hard.

Where's he at tonight? I'm watching FSO, and there's no radar gun reading. Why, I don't know.

[SteelSD]

generally a list is drawn up at the time of the trade

Yes, but Krivsky got the upper hand when he added a clause that Cleveland would have to add the PTBNL if Phillips could go through the season as the Reds starting 2B without recording a Base on Balls.

So far, so good. ;)

I love Phillips quick bat thusfar. Guy turned on that hanging curve for the slam about as quickly as anyone.

He had it up to 93 that night according to the ballpark gun.

[2001MUgrad]

Psst......A bunch of rbis is what happens when people batting ahead get on base.

Not when you strike out.

[kbrake]

Hasnt Belisle struggled in the past in situations where he knew ahead of time he would be starting. Didnt he pitch well when it was a spot start or something like tonight, but really get drilled in games he knew he was starting?

[flyer85]

Not when you strike out.Javy struck out:D

[Matt700wlw]

what's the team record for most runs scored in a season?

[Gandalf the Red]

It was broken when they attempted to time George's heart going pitter-pat everytime Jim Edmonds is mentioned.

[reds44]

K

[KronoRed]

Dunn needs to stop changing his approach with runners on.

[2001MUgrad]

Javy struck out:D

Yes he did :bang:

Good thing BP did not:thumbup:

[CincyRedsFan30]

Good AB by Dunn there, despite the K with RISP. ;) I love taxing pitchers for nine-pitch ABs.

[Heath]

eyes gettin heavy - gonna have to take a break -

[KySteveH]

Javier has a really unique stance and approach at the plate...Works for him, I guess.

[SteelSD]

Dunn needs to stop changing his approach with runners on.

He's pressing. The Walk was offered again there and he refused to take it. He doesn't swing at that ball four without ducks on the pond.

[2001MUgrad]

Good AB by Dunn there, despite the K with RISP. ;) I love taxing pitchers for 9-pitch AB.

He needs to save his HR's for when they count anyway. Safe it for the 1st inning tomorrow.

[paintmered]

Right now the Reds are sitting at 107 RS and 100 RA for the season.

That puts them at 86-76 on the year.

[Reds Nd2]

what's the team record for most runs scored in a season?

865 in 1999

[CincyRedsFan30]

Looks like they are getting Matt's endurance up for a start next Tuesday. :)

[flyer85]

Yes he did :bang:

Good thing BP did not:thumbup:don't forget that EE scrappy walk.

[CincyRedsFan30]

Smart move by EdE to just let that one go.

[Matt700wlw]

865 in 1999

Let's break it!!!

[2001MUgrad]

don't forget that EE scrappy walk.


True.. It scored a Run :beerme:

[Sea Ray]

generally a list is drawn up at the time of the trade

Well, my point is sometimes there's more than one list. Like if he hits .300 there's an A list...if he hits .250 a B list, .200 a C list.

[paintmered]

865 in 1999

If they don't score the rest of this game, they are on pace for 1083 this year.

[flyer85]

He's pressing. The Walk was offered again there and he refused to take it. He doesn't swing at that ball four without ducks on the pond.sometimes the pitcher makes nice pitches. Adams threw a good sinker that fell out of the zone but it was a nice 3-2 pitch.

[KySteveH]

Fielder really hit the **** out of that ball. It went about 2 inches per pound.

[2001MUgrad]

Right now the Reds are sitting at 107 RS and 100 RA for the season.

That puts them at 86-76 on the year.

I'd take 86 wins. I think it'll take around 90 to get in the playoffs though.

[KronoRed]

No Chris the bad outing is not acceptable in any way.

[Reds Nd2]

Prince Fielder beats out an infield single. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe it.

[GullyFoyle]

If they don't score the rest of this game, they are on pace for 1083 this year.

lol... lets just make it an even 1000..OK?

[Matt700wlw]

If Belisle doesn't start in place of Williams next time, something is seriously wrong.

He's earned it.

[2001MUgrad]

lol... lets just make it an even 1000..OK?

If it needs to be even.. How about 1100?? You'd win some games despite horrible pitching.

[KySteveH]

Well, my point is sometimes there's more than one list. Like if he hits .300 there's an A list...if he hits .250 a B list, .200 a C list.
Agreed. Also, I'm sure one of the players to be considered is a 2005 draftee, so we'll have to wait until after the June draft to find out.

[dsmith421]

Prince Fielder beats out an infield single. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe it.

I saw him steal a base. Then he slathered it with ketchup and ate it with a side of mashed potatoes.

[Big Klu]

Chad Johnson with a contract extension!

[paintmered]

The reds need two more starting pitchers and two more bullpen arms to be serious contenders IMO.

Belisle, as much as he's earned a spot in the rotation after today isn't a long term solution.

[KronoRed]

I saw him steal a base. Then he slathered it with ketchup and ate it with a side of mashed potatoes.
Hmm...base.

[CincyRedsFan30]

4-6-yes-siree 3 there. ;)

Rack em up!!!!

[KronoRed]

Nice :clap:

[flyer85]

boy, hatteberg is clumsy over at first. He almost pulled himself off the bag on that throw because he went to early to get a throw he didn't have to go get.

[Reds Nd2]

If they don't score the rest of this game, they are on pace for 1083 this year.

Come on, don't say stuff like that. I have Kearns and Easy E on my fantasy team and they both bat in the 8th. :)

[paintmered]

Hmm...base.

http://vcard.homer-simpson.de/images/homer/pic19.jpg

[flyer85]

Belisle, as much as he's earned a spot in the rotation after today isn't a long term solution.he could be, this team doesn't need a star at the end of the rotation just a guy that can pitch 6 and give up 3-4 runs

[Big Klu]

The reds need two more starting pitchers and two more bullpen arms to be serious contenders IMO.

Belisle, as much as he's earned a spot in the rotation after today isn't a long term solution.

Agreed. He still has yet to prove himself in the rotation, though his relief appearances in Williams's last two starts has earned him an opportunity to try out for a starting job, IMO.

[Reds Nd2]

I saw him steal a base. Then he slathered it with ketchup and ate it with a side of mashed potatoes.

Dude looks like he ate the 2B for desert.

[KySteveH]

I'd like to trade a play-by-play guy to be named later right now. George's 6-4-yesiree-3 just sucks. Not as bad as every player who moves having to either "scamper", "cruise", or "put on the brakes". Just "go" or "advance" works too, George.

[Sea Ray]

The reds need two more starting pitchers and two more bullpen arms to be serious contenders IMO.

Belisle, as much as he's earned a spot in the rotation after today isn't a long term solution.

I think the starting pitching isn't as bad off as the bullpen. I think one starter, two relievers and improved defense will make them contenders. Brandon Phillips can improve the 2B position and with hard work, EE and FeLo can also take their defensive game to another level.

[paintmered]

The Reds have gotten off to such an amazing offensive start on the season, they only have to average 4.98 runs/game to tie the franchise record for runs scored in a season.

[johngalt]

Agreed. He still has yet to prove himself in the rotation, though his relief appearances in Williams's last two starts has earned him an opportunity to try out for a starting job, IMO.

The weird thing about Belisle is that he's pitched really well when he's made emergency starts for guys that had to pull out at the last minute or in these kinds of long-relief situations when a starter gets knocked out early, but he's struggled when given a couple of starts as a member of the rotation.

Maybe Narron should move him into the rotation and not tell him. :)

[KronoRed]

The Reds have gotten off to such an amazing offensive start on the season, they only have to average 4.98 runs/game to tie the franchise record for runs scored in a season.
It can be done.

I think the starting pitching isn't as bad off as the bullpen. I think one starter, two relievers and improved defense will make them contenders. Brandon Phillips can improve the 2B position and with hard work, EE and FeLo can also take their defensive game to another level.

We also have to reposition some of our guys.

[CincyRedsFan30]

Valentin continues to look like Valentin so far this year. He already struggles to BB, and if he's not hitting some Doubles and HR, he really isn't good at all.

[Red Stocking]

It'll be interesting to see what happens when KJR gets back. Where to put Freel? Where to put BP?

[Gandalf the Red]

We also have to reposition some of our guys.

And avoid pitching to Pujols.

[paintmered]

Put Dunn at first, Griffey in left and keep Freel in center.

[KronoRed]

It'll be interesting to see what happens when KJR gets back. Where to put Freel? Where to put BP?
Freel in CF JR to LF Dunn to 1st and BP manning 2nd.

[KySteveH]

Thanks goodness Mike Vassallo went to a team in our division, because we'll get to hear what a great guy he is 18 times now. It's worse than the doctor and the driver or all Marty's stories about cronies that only he cares about.

[NavyRedsFan]

Chad Johnson with a contract extension!
Can he pitch?;)

[Big Klu]

I don't like the CGI McGruff. I liked the old cartoon Crime Dog.

[Fullboat]

Put Dunn at first, Griffey in left and keep Freel in center.


:thumbup: and Rich at 1B

[2001MUgrad]

Where is Mr. Pujols tonight??

[paintmered]

Freel CF
Lopez SS
Griffey LF
Dunn 1B
Kearns RF
EE 3B
Phillips 2B
Larue C

It keeps our best bats in the lineup and puts our defensive liabilities at easier defensive positions

[KronoRed]

I don't like the CGI McGruff. I liked the old cartoon Crime Dog.
Agreed.

[Reds Fanatic]

Moeller homers to right. 12-7.

[Big Klu]

I don't know, but he can putt! ;)

[reds44]

It'll be interesting to see what happens when KJR gets back. Where to put Freel? Where to put BP?
When somebody needs a day off Freel plays in there spot. BP backs up Felipe, and then between they split 2nd base.

[NavyRedsFan]

Dude looks like he ate the 2B for desert.
Or the right side of the infeild:laugh:

[flyer85]

The only reason to leave Belisle out there for a 5th inning is to stretch him out to take Williams turn next time out

[Fullboat]

:thumbup: and Rich at 1B


That is if Dunn stays at LF

[Matt700wlw]

Belisle a little flustered...

Matt is a better name then Mark

[CincyRedsFan30]

I'd pull him if he doesn't get Hardy here. If he does, let him try to get Jenkins and Lee to build confidence toward that Tuesday night start in Washington.

[Reds Fanatic]

Clark is hit by a pitch.

[flyer85]

Freel in CF JR to LF Dunn to 1st and BP manning 2nd.makes too much sense. I knew Hatteberg was not good at 1st but his footwork is flat awful. He struggles to keep his balance whenever he has to adjust to catch a throw.

[reds44]

My boy getting lose.

[KronoRed]

makes too much sense. I knew Hatteberg was not good at 1st but his footwork is flat awful. He struggles to keep his balance whenever he has to adjust to catch a throw.
Yep, such a lineup would remove ALL solid vets from the lineup, no way it happens.

[Reds Fanatic]

Hardy reaches on a infield single. Good stop by Encarnacion to prevent a double.
1st and 2nd with no outs.

Not a chance!

[Reds Fanatic]

Good job by Belisle tonight. 4IP, 5H, 0BB, 3K.

[paintmered]

whos this pitcher? i don't think ive raked off him

Now that's just trolling.

[Red Stocking]

I hope Dunn will be willing to go to 1B, and Griffey will be willing to go to LF. This would improve our defense greatly in my opinion.
a) We'll have a more consistant LF in Griffey
b) More speed in Center with Freel
c) EE and the rest of the infield will have a larger target at first base, this should reduce some throwing errors

[Big Klu]

Belisle!

:clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

[SteelSD]

Edwin can't make the gem.

Nope, but the effort most definitely saved a base and possibly a Run there.

Gotta like that.

[reds44]

Exactly

I am tired of seeing our midget 1st baseman there.

I think he is playing 3rd as part of the double switch.

[Big Klu]

I hate everything about JTM.

[KronoRed]

:bang:

Rich is not good D...why do they think he is??? Rich is the guy you TAKE OUT for defensive purposes.

[CincyRedsFan30]

Even Junior would have got to that.

Shack did his job.

Not for getting to that particular ball, but just in general and for what GG described as a perfect throw to 3B. Not that he would have advanced on JR there, but I like hearing "near perfect throw to 3B."

[flyer85]

I think I would have left Shackelford in there. Why waste Coffey now? It's not like Lee represents the tying run.because if they get out of this inning it won't matter who pitches the 9th. Sometimes the most important outs of the game are not the last three. Lee is probably the key out of the game because he is there most dnagerous hitter

Bad meat.

And that is why you bring your pitcher with the best stuff in.

[Reds Nd2]

love shack.....wasn't there a song about him

If you see a faded sign by the side of the road that says
15 miles to the... Love Shack! Love Shack yeah
I'm headin' down the Atlanta highway,
lookin' for the love getaway
Heading for the love getaway, love getaway,
I got me a car, it's as big as a whale
and we're headin' on down
To the Love Shack
I got me a Chrysler, it seats about 20
So hurry up and bring your jukebox money

The Love Shack is a little old place
where we can get together
Love Shack baby, Love Shack bay-bee.
Love baby, that's where it's at,
Ooo love baby, that's where it's at

[Reds Fanatic]

Lee lines a single to center. 12-8. 1st and 2nd with one out.

[Cant Touch This]

I don't get to see the cincy local ads much unless I'm watching the Reds on FSN. Gotta say, the JTM commercials: the burgers look delicious. The more more more song will haunt me for decades, and when that lady stares over the bag into the camera I think to myself, "that's fine acting."

You know who lives in Atlanta?

Raisor.


Just sayin.

The strategy hasn't worked so far. Now Lee is close to representing the tying run. I see the point in bringing in Coffey there, just not sure I agree.

[griffeyfreak4]

Cmon coffey!!!

[KronoRed]

Anyone you would want up less from their lineup?

[reds44]

12-8

ummm worry time

[griffeyfreak4]

DP would be great

[reds44]

Plate is hiding from Java

[griffeyfreak4]

just sayin

[CincyRedsFan30]

Now the tying run IS up. Ugh oh. Coffey has been worked an awful lot lately. Not sure he's used to it at this point.

[KronoRed]

Bases loaded.

[edabbs44]

OK...why does Rick White have Coffey's jersey on?

[GridironGrace]

man if the pen blows a 6 run lead i give up :(

[Matt700wlw]

Coffey not ready for closer role yet....

[reds44]

Oh boy

[paintmered]

JTMs are about 80% grease. They grill up quickly though.

[Reds Fanatic]

Uh oh. Hall singles to left. Bases loaded. This is starting to look live every game we have played in Milwaukee the last few years.

[flyer85]

I never really understood JTM. Is it just some kind of cut rate frozen meat they sell in Ohio?

[Fullboat]

Oh Oh bad cup of coffee.

[indyred]

wow.... how many full counts and bases loaded jams have there been tonight

[reds44]

Uh oh. Hall singles to left. Bases loaded. This is starting to look live every game we have played in Milwaukee the last few years.
didnt we blow like a 9-0 lead?

[flyer85]

need a 6-4-3

[GridironGrace]

Coffey whats the matter bro???????

You have been the BRIGHT spot.........get outta this

[KronoRed]

I never really understood JTM. Is it just some kind of cut rate frozen meat they sell in Ohio?
Yep.

[Gallen5862]

I Picked up Phillips and EE tonight as free agents in my fantasy league. They will start tommorrow. I have a ton of Reds on the roster. :) :D Go Reds amazing offensive display tonight.

[griffeyfreak4]

DP would be GREAT
:pray:

[CincyRedsFan30]

who should they have brought in?

I would have left Shackelford in there.

Much needed K there.

[reds44]

Uecker has flipped out after both of these swings

[paintmered]

K!!

[Aronchis]

Dent has to get some of the blame sending a gassed Belisle out there to give up a homer and a single, now the rest of the pen is put under pressure which they have not handled well. Even Coffey hasn't been consistantly looking good.

[Reds Fanatic]

Weeks strikes out swinging. 2 outs.

[flyer85]

Nice slider

[GridironGrace]

I picked up Phillips.......i'll get edwin soon enough no room ATM on the roster.

[reds44]

He Gone!!!!!!!!!

2 down

[griffeyfreak4]

Can't relax now

Edit: Gotta get the third out

That was a hellacious forker Coffey just threw.

Bucky Ball

[reds44]

be careful

[Falls City Beer]

This doesn't apply to every Reds pitcher, but it seems like a lot of the pitchers on this team work slowly. That can't be good, can it?

[KronoRed]

"The Force is with you, young Coffey, but you are not a Jedi yet."
Or a wizard

[flyer85]

Uecker has flipped out after both of these swingsneither was a strike, got himself out

[Cant Touch This]

Didn't Riverfront serve up JTMs at the ol ballyard? Maybe I just like greasy, cut rate frozen meat products.

[flyer85]

3 changes in a row to Fielder and all down, need to get one a little more away

[indyred]

prince k

[KronoRed]

Coffey :clap:

[CincyRedsFan30]

Nice work by Coffey to limit the damage to two hits there. 12-8 after 8.

[Cant Touch This]

Venti strikeout!

[reds44]

He Gone!!!!!!

COFFEY!!!!!!

[flyer85]

4 changes and then a high hard one. Very nice pitching

[Reds Fanatic]

Fielder strikes out swinging. 12-8 Reds after 8.

[griffeyfreak4]

:clap:

[Matt700wlw]

Nice job by Coffey!

[reds44]

neither was a strike, got himself out
No, he thought he hit a homer. Both went to the backstop.

It was odd.

[flyer85]

after 3.5 hours the 9th is here
