Notice Lopez down in the order

[Ibleedblue]

Forget where Lopez is, I'm looking at the lack of Encarnacion, once again.

[cincyreds06]

Im hoping harang has a good game tonight because we need 2 big games really. Tomorrow and tonight with harang and arroyo throwing next 2 days and by the way houston has the basesloaded against the cards and no outs bottom 7th tied 4-4

[cincyreds06]

preach it.

houston has took a 6-4 lead and if that holds up and We can somehow win we will be 1.5 game back by night's end and oh yea!! Is edwin gonna be traded it looks that way. on wlw tonight they mentioned that krivksy is looking for A another stable guy in bullpen or Another bat and ee is apart of the package thought you all would like to know!!

Kid must really be in Narron's doghouse

[cincy09]

We would only be a game out if we won, and we will win

[cincyreds06]

yep ur right man..sorry bout that but anyways ya they mentioned where edwin could be on his way out on wlw tonight!!

[cincy09]

anything spoken on wlw must be taken with a grain of salt. They like to stir the pot without any knowledge of what's going on.

marty was talking to krivisky on the show earlier The sports show and said that edwin could be part of the deal they dont know krivisky said it with his own mouth!! but he also said that edwin needed to rest alittle too because of his injury and they might keep him out until allstar break!!

Now bottom of the 8th. 'Stros up by 2.:)

[James B.]

Nothing wrong with giving Freel another start after the way he played yesterday.

[ITHIKABAND]

I'm surprised no one has said anything about Kearns hitting clean up? I really like this spot for him.

[ITHIKABAND]

I like this line up!

[Ibleedblue]

Aside from EdE not being there, the lineup is good. I love Dunn batting 2nd, it gives him plenty of protection, plus it utilizes his OBP skills.

[cincy09]

game is now underway, braves announcers waste no time saying edwin isnt playing because he isnt playing well

[cincy09]

freel k's on a pitch outside, hopefuly harang gets that call

[reds44]

:confused:

He played 1 game.

[cincy09]

Dunn k's after working the count deep with foul balls

[steig]

Young, power/rbi hitting 3rd basemen are a rare commodity on baseball. WK would not be wise, imo, to trade him for a reliever. This team could win the division with bullpen help but I would rather see them go for the world series by building for the next few years.

[cincy09]

[cincy09]

griffey k's smoltz strikes out the side on 16 pitches

[Gallen5862]

Welcome back Cincy09. Andrew jones was out because didn't run .

[realistic]

Dunn looking like a DH again. Surely some AL team could use him.

[Gallen5862]

Francouer hits a two run homerun for the Braves and then Dunn loses the ball in the outfield.

[Gallen5862]

Smoltz rbi single made it 3-1 Braves going to the top of the 8th. Freel then strikes out.

It happens guys dont worry we can make A comeback in ninth but I doubt it.

[JimEdmonds15]

What the heck are you guys doing leaving Harang out there? Just wondering..

[jesusfan]

Okay... Let's rock Ken Ray!

[jesusfan]

Well... Kearns K's to lead off the inning...

[Chip R]

Phillips Ks to end it.

[dabvu2498]

I was thinking more of the 0-4 with 3 K's.

[goreds2]

A lot of Reds hitters did not have a good night tonight. ;)

[dabvu2498]

True, but you know the lightning rod that is Adam Dunn. So far only 2 "trade Dunn" calls.

[dabvu2498]

Make it 3.

[goreds2]

Francouer hits a two run homerun for the Braves and then Dunn loses the ball in the outfield.

I listened to the game tonight via the Braves radio broadcast. They admitted, the lighting in the outfield has been an issue all year and it really isn't fair to the opposing teams. They said it needs to be fixed. I know Dunn is a less than average outfielder but if the lighting was sufficient, he would have had it.
