[Heath]

well, FOX has the game today and decided to pair Thom Brennaman and Jerry Remy.

They could have paired Don Orsillo and Jeff Brantley.

[RedlegJake]

Young Fireballer vs. Veteran Knuckler. Should be an interesting game.

[Edskin]

That is a really pedestrian looking lineup for the Bosox-- we're catching them a good time.

And who is this Louikilis character? :)

[RedlegJake]

No Ortiz and no Ramirez and their lineup still looks as good as the Reds. Oh to have unlimited payroll dollars.

[Reds Fanatic]

That is a really pedestrian looking lineup for the Bosox-- we're catching them a good time.

And who is this Louikilis character? :)

Lot of people out of the Red Sox lineup. Ramirez has hamstring problems, Varitek has strep throat and Lugo was scratched from the lineup with an upset stomach

[RedlegJake]

Pedestrian compared to Ortiz and Ramirez in it but still guys like Drew, Lowell, Youkilis, Ellsbury...still V should have a good day

[VR]

The good news is they've switched to Dodgers/ Detroit on FOX in the Northwest. It sure would have sucked to see the Reds/ EV on TV for the first time this year.

[RedlegJake]

Ellsbury leads off taking a ball and we're underway

[Reds Fanatic]

Ellsbury singles to center.

[RedlegJake]

Jacobo fouls one off 1-1, before bouncing a single into center right over the mound

[RedlegJake]

Wild pitch. Ellsbury to 2nd. Way wild

[RedlegJake]

Pedroia showed bunt before the WP, then shows bunt again on a ball. 2-0 count. Ground to short. Ellsbury holds on the play. 1 down.

[Reds Fanatic]

Steal 30 for Ellsbury and an error on Edwin. 1-0 Red Sox.

[RedlegJake]

Stolen base and run when balls bounces off EE's glove. Bako gets error but it WAS on EE. 1-0 Boston

[RedlegJake]

Very catchable throw. Unbelievable

[RedlegJake]

Drew now with no one on, pops up to EE by dugout.

[CTA513]

The Reds really helped the Redsox out that inning.

[RedlegJake]

Lowell lines to Dunn. Run is unearned

[Reds Fanatic]

I am surprised they gave Bako that error. Edwin should have caught that ball.

[RedlegJake]

EE continues to have problems at third base. I think he was looking to tag the runner before he saw where the throw was going then he couldn't recover in time. Just a bad play.

[RedlegJake]

I am surprised they gave Bako that error. Edwin should have caught that ball.

Agree completely. That was on EE all the way

[RedlegJake]

Now the Reds get to dance with Wakefield's knuckler as the flirty partner.

[RedlegJake]

Pop up to third where Cora grabs it

[RedlegJake]

Yanish up with 1 out. Paul's in slump and tries to bust it against Tim Knuckles. Fals back 0-2

[RedlegJake]

Fly ball to center. 2 down.

[RedlegJake]

1 for his last 20. Paul's proving his minor league numbers are no fluke.

[RedlegJake]

Junior gets behind 1-2, manages to flick a foul, then a foul fly to right, then Ks. Hold still darnit! (Junior to ball)

[Edskin]

The swarm of Sox fans at GAB is pathetic. It's probably close to a 50/50 split.

[Reds Fanatic]

It is early but so far it looks like the Reds are going to struggle to hit that knuckler.

[RedlegJake]

The swarm of Sox fans at GAB is pathetic. It's probably close to a 50/50 split.

Cincy seems to have fans from every team but their own in large numbers at the park these days. Kinda sad. Years of losing turns people away.

[Reds Fanatic]

Nasty pitch from Volquez gets Youkilis swinging.

[RedlegJake]

Youkilis ahead 2-1. Then 2-2. Then Ks him.

[RedlegJake]

Dunn grabs a shllow pop. 2 down. Nice run by Dunn coming in fast.

[RedlegJake]

Alex Cora in for Lugo (upset stomach) comes up. 2-2 count. Lines it Jr. for 3 out

[Reds Fanatic]

23 pitches (14 strikes, 9 balls) for Volquez through 2.

[RedlegJake]

Bp singles, singles steals second and then gets thrown at at third trying to go for another. Stupid. Out by a mile. 3-6-5

[Reds Fanatic]

Dunn homers to right. Tie game 1-1.

[WVRedsFan]

After Philips gets Ryan Freel disease, Dunn homers. Why oh Why?

[RedlegJake]

Then Dunn!!! Homer run tie game and we SHOULD be leading. Thanks Brandon.

[Reds Fanatic]

That is the 5th straight interleague game Dunn has homered in and that is a record.

[Reds Freak]

Bp singles, singles steals second and then gets thrown at at third trying to go for another. Stupid. Out by a mile. 3-6-5

Now it looks really stupid. Although, it would have been genius if he would have made it..

[RedlegJake]

Hit for EE. Single up the midle.

[Reds Fanatic]

3 straight hits as Edwin singles.

[RedlegJake]

Voto grounds 3-6-3 DP

[HokieRed]

It's never genius to give up the first out of the inning at 3b base. Whether it's Phillips, the manager, or whoever, it's a stupid team.

[WVRedsFan]

Now it looks really stupid. Although, it would have been genius if he would have made it..

Regardless, is that smart baseball? With your No. 1 power hitter coming up? One of the problems with this team is poor decisions.

[Edskin]

That may have been the fastest 3 hit- 1 run inning in MLB history.

[blumj]

Now it looks really stupid. Although, it would have been genius if he would have made it..
He had to be thinkiing he could beat Wakefield to 3B, right?

[RedlegJake]

Regardless, is that smart baseball? With your No. 1 power hitter coming up? One of the problems with this team is poor decisions.

You're right on. No one out and safe at second with your sluggers up. You score most of the time. No need for that extra try. That is being stupid aggressive which really hurts this team as oppossed to smart aggresive.

[Falls City Beer]

The error was Brandon's. Not the manager's.

[RedlegJake]

Cash, Pitcher and Ellsbury up for V.

[RedlegJake]

Cash grounds 2-1 pitch to EE. 1 down

[jesusfan]

what was Phillips trying to do there? basket catch a line drive?

[RedlegJake]

BP takes a shot off the chest recovers sand throws him out. 3 down.

[RedlegJake]

what was Phillips trying to do there? basket catch a line drive?

Self flagellation for that dumb running play.

[Reds Fanatic]

33 pitches (21 strikes, 12 balls) for Volquez through 3.

[jesusfan]

Bako walks to start the inning... bunt him over Volq...

[RedlegJake]

Bako is baffled by one knuckler then lines one foul. Walks on a 72 mph fastball that makes Herrerra look like Koufax

[jesusfan]

shew... fundamentals people!

[RedlegJake]

Volquez looks silly trying to bunt that knuckler and fans

[jesusfan]

Bruce grounds softly back to Wakefield for the FC... 2 down

[RedlegJake]

Hero is up and grounds first knuckler to pitcher and BEATS it out to save the DP. Bako took out Cora which helped.

[jesusfan]

Definite Hit and Run here...

[jesusfan]

Janish flies to the track... Weight room... after 3 1-1

[RedlegJake]

Yanny long foul goes 0-2 then takes ball one. Bruce is threatening run, getting lots of throws and looks. Another pick throw. Long fly to Ellsbury at he wall. 3 out.

[Falls City Beer]

The little pFX thing on the MLB Gameday site says that Wakefield is throwing nothing but knuckleballs. I know for a fact that Wakefield mixes in a little 80 MPH fastball too. Has he really been throwing nothing but knuckleballs (folks who are watching the game)?

[jesusfan]

Wow... how did that ball hit the top of the wall?? Dunn really played it well too... Drew with the triple...

[RedlegJake]

The little pFX thing on the MLB Gameday site says that Wakefield is throwing nothing but knuckleballs. I know for a fact that Wakefield mixes in a little 80 MPH fastball too. Has he really been throwing nothing but knuckleballs (folks who are watching the game)?

He's thrown a couple fastballs about mid 70s. Everything else knucklers.

[jesusfan]

Would love to have a strikeout here...

[jesusfan]

pop up to Edwin... 2 down.. Big out!

[Edskin]

No need to give Yook anything fat here--- I'd take my chances with Crisp.

[RedlegJake]

Lowell pops one way high that EE grabs. 2 down.

[jesusfan]

Edinson is so fun to watch...

[jesusfan]

crap... Bako cant block the ball and the run scores... 2-1

[jesusfan]

lazy, lazy... get your body in front!

[RedlegJake]

Wild pitch and Drew scores. 2-1 Bosox.

[Reds Fanatic]

They scored that a wild pitch but that is a pitch Bako should have stopped.

[RedlegJake]

C'mon that was Volquez. Wild pitch all the way

[jesusfan]

Volquez K's Youk.... 2-1 mid 4

[jesusfan]

C'mon that was Volquez. Wild pitch all the way

what... ball that just skipped the dirt which Bako tried to back hand...

[RedlegJake]

2 runs for Boston and neither should have scored but for Volquez geting crazy wild a couple times.

[Reds Fanatic]

48 pitches (29 strikes, 19 balls) for Volquez through 4.

[CTA513]

Thats 2 runs the Reds gave to the Redsox today.

[jesusfan]

Griffey, BP, and Dunn we need a big inning!

[mth123]

Thats 2 runs the Reds gave to the Redsox today.

And one of there own they gave away.

[jesusfan]

Griff pops to Lowell... 1 pitch 1 out..

[Falls City Beer]

I hope the Reds have a player like Drew, a guy with serious opp. field thunder and a set of wheels to get to third on what by all rights should have only been a double.

I hope Bruce can become a player like Drew--that's a weapon my friends. And that's why they have a lead. The Reds before Bruce didn't possess that total package.

[jesusfan]

BP K's... 2 down

[jesusfan]

Rosenthal says the Reds have not contacted Dunn at all about an extension...

[jesusfan]

Dunn walks... C'mon Edwin!

[RedlegJake]

Dunn up with 2 down. Big shift again on Dunn. 3-1 count. Walks Dunn.

[NC Reds]

The Reds should resign Dunn. It angers me that this organization doesn't seem to recognize his value.

[jesusfan]

Edwin flies to center... end of 4... 2-1 Bo Sox... Hold em Volquez...

[RedlegJake]

EE up. High fly deep but caught. 3 down.

[Reds Fanatic]

Rosenthal says the Reds have not contacted Dunn at all about an extension...
Not surprising since Walt said he does not believe in negotiating during the season. I don't agree with it but I don't expect any extension during the season.

[Tony Cloninger]

They do see his value....Bob C likes him....from what i hear....and Dunn has said he does not negotiate during the year....so if he is not going to do that, why bother trying to bother him about it.

[jesusfan]

Fly out to Junior.. 1 pitch, 1 out...

[jesusfan]

We need to win and the Cards to lose again today...

[Edskin]

They do see his value....Bob C likes him....from what i hear....and Dunn has said he does not negotiate during the year....so if he is not going to do that, why bother trying to bother him about it.

Why bother? Because you risk letting him walk with nothing in return.

[jesusfan]

Cora doubles down the line.... shew, that was close...

[Tony Cloninger]

You could be right.....they are taking a chance here. There is still time to do something...plenty of time. I guess it's the least of my worries with this team at this time.

[jesusfan]

Volquez walks Cash... 1st and 2nd with Wakefield up...

[CTA513]

Even the Redsox backups know how to make a pitcher work.

[jesusfan]

2 strikes on wake...

[jesusfan]

2 down as Wakefield can't get it down...

[Tony Cloninger]

Walking Cash is akin to walking patterson. His wildness is almost Bereyni like sometimes.

[jesusfan]

3-2 to Ellsbury coming...

[jesusfan]

Volquez K's Ellsbury!!! 2-1 mid 5....

[Reds Fanatic]

Big strikeout to get out of the inning.

[Reds Fanatic]

74 pitches (43 strikes, 31 balls) for Volquez through 5.

[RedlegJake]

Very good job for EV. He has the nasty stuff to work out of jams consistently.

[Tony Cloninger]

On the Sox nation board...they were blasting Dunn for turning the double into the triple.....was it that bad of a play?

[dougdirt]

On the Sox nation board...they were blasting Dunn for turning the double into the triple.....was it that bad of a play?

It was pretty bad

[Tony Cloninger]

Yet barely a mention here....and there...6 different posters said thanks for the run to Dunn...and said they would trade him to be a DH and that's it. ;)

[CTA513]

Wakefield is at 54 pitches after 5 innings.

[GullyFoyle]

On the Sox nation board...they were blasting Dunn for turning the double into the triple.....was it that bad of a play?

It wasn't good but the announcer didn't seem to realize it bounced off the wall behind Dunn and made it seem worse than it was.

[Falls City Beer]

What's sad though is that Dunn would represent a marked improvement defensively over Manny.

[Falls City Beer]

Wakefield is at 54 pitches after 5 innings.

Pitch count doesn't matter much to a knuckler.

[Falls City Beer]

I hear the floodgates opening. I hope the pen is up and throwing.

[Mario-Rijo]

Nice play bye Janish there, just tough break w/ Votto not able to scoop it.

[blumj]

Pitch count doesn't matter much to a knuckler.
They don't push him anymore. He's an old guy.

[jesusfan]

Lowell singles to center... 1st and 2nd for Boston..

[CTA513]

It looks like Volquez should get ready for loss #3.

[jesusfan]

crap!

[Falls City Beer]

It looks like Volquez should get ready for loss #3.

Yeah, Boston's pen typically reduces games to 7 inning affairs.

[Falls City Beer]

Volquez's control has been absent since the beginning of the 5th.

[jesusfan]

Crisp K's... 2 down..

[jesusfan]

3-1 mid 7.... Bruce, Janish, Griffey due up...

[blumj]

Yeah, Boston's pen typically reduces games to 7 inning affairs.
Okajima's been pretty iffy lately.

[Falls City Beer]

When you think about though, only 3 guys in the Reds' lineup have seen pitches from a MLB knuckler before: Griffey, Dunn, and Bako. Volquez didn't have a great game, but he was good enough. The offense, though, had the cards stacked against them. Phillips baserunning hurt, however.

[Tony Cloninger]

Has this team won more than 3 games in a row this year?

[jesusfan]

Bruce grounds to 2nd... 1 down

[Falls City Beer]

Has this team won more than 3 games in a row this year?

6 game streak, I believe.

[VR]

Yeah, Boston's pen typically reduces games to 7 inning affairs.

Their almost as good as Cincy's this year.

[jesusfan]

Has this team won more than 3 games in a row this year?

uh.. yeah... not to long ago actually they had a nice lil streak, 6 games I think...

[jesusfan]

Janish has no place in a major league line-up... im sorry!

[VR]

When you think about though, only 3 guys in the Reds' lineup have seen pitches from a MLB knuckler before: Griffey, Dunn, and Bako. Volquez didn't have a great game, but he was good enough. The offense, though, had the cards stacked against them. Phillips baserunning hurt, however.

It just adds to the type of pitcher this team struggles against. Lefties, unknown rookies, pedestrian righties, star pitchers, former Reds and now, knucklers.

[Falls City Beer]

It just adds to the type of pitcher this team struggles against. Lefties, unknown rookies, pedestrian righties, star pitchers, former Reds and now, knucklers.

I agree with the unknown rookies, pedestrian righties. But haven't they actually been pretty good against lefties this year?

[RedlegJake]

I know Wakefield can be tough but 3 hits and 1 run is just ridiculous

[Reds Fanatic]

Volquez going into the 7th has thrown 96 pitches.

[jesusfan]

Volquez K's Cash... #8!

[RedlegJake]

V Ks Cash to start the 7th

[Tony Cloninger]

Oh yeah...that 6 game winning streak at home.....they play so bad on the road...that i forget.

I agree...but Dusty does not have an eraser so CF and SS stay the same. Too bad Castro and Reggie Taylor are not on the team.

[jesusfan]

9 K's for Edinson now... 2 down

[RedlegJake]

Wakefield fans. #9 and 105

[jesusfan]

Ellsbury singles to right...

[Tony Cloninger]

:D.... The Sox board just posted...IF i were a Reds fan It would drive me nuts to have janish batting 2nd.

Great minds...and all that.

[jesusfan]

Ellsbury is a very nice player... would look great in a reds uni with Bruce and Votto... Dunn for Ellsbury?? yeah right...

[jesusfan]

Janish has a .475 OPS... wow

[Reds Fanatic]

31 steals for Ellsbury

[jesusfan]

Ellsbury steals 2nd... Phillips almost got him with his lil trick though...

[jesusfan]

Volquez gets out of it... 7 inning of 2 ER baseball... 3-1 Boston mid 7...

[RedlegJake]

Pedroia back to V. 3 out

[jesusfan]

I never thought I'd miss Jerry Hairston Jr this much... Heck, I miss Castro...

[jesusfan]

BP needs to get something going here...

[blumj]

:D.... The Sox board just posted...IF i were a Reds fan It would drive me nuts to have janish batting 2nd.

Great minds...and all that.
It's driving a lot of us nuts that Pedroia's still batting 2nd.

[Falls City Beer]

:D.... The Sox board just posted...IF i were a Reds fan It would drive me nuts to have janish batting 2nd.

Great minds...and all that.

Yeah, Pedroia's a regular Larkin in that 2 slot: .673 OPS.

At least the Reds are forced by necessity to play Janish.

[Tony Cloninger]

Volquez kept that pitch count down....i think he pitched great.

[blumj]

Yeah, Pedroia's a regular Larkin in that 2 slot: .673 OPS.
To be fair, he does have a better track record than Janish. At least, he used to.

[Tony Cloninger]

You guys must have esp....n. They said the same exact thing over there....to the letter. Bizzare.

[jesusfan]

I don't understand hacking so much against Wake...

[jesusfan]

BP Homers to left!!! I'll take that hack!!!! 3-2!

[Falls City Beer]

To be fair, he does have a better track record than Janish. At least, he used to.

Well, when you have NO track record like Janish....

Yeah, he shouldn't be batting 2nd, but the Reds don't have any illusions that it's his defense that he's here.

[Reds Fanatic]

A long homer to left center for Phillips. 3-2 Sox.

[jesusfan]

Phillips does have a very fast home-run trot...

[jesusfan]

When you hang a knuckler, you are in trouble...

[jesusfan]

Tie it up Dunner!

[jesusfan]

Dunn pops to Center... 1 down

[jesusfan]

Let's go Edwin!

[jesusfan]

Edwin grounds to 3rd... 2 down

[Tony Cloninger]

These guys....except for Dunn and maybe Votto...are hackers....and that knuckler is very hacker friendly.

[jesusfan]

wow... Votto looked terrible there...

[jesusfan]

3-2 after 7...

[jesusfan]

Wakefield at 89 pitches... not that it matters for him..

[Edskin]

I'm usually all over our team for not being patient/smart enough at the plate, but with the Knuckler, you just have to swing away if it's anywhere near the zone.

[Reds Fanatic]

Weathers in to pitch the 8th

[jesusfan]

David Weathers is terrible!

[blumj]

Weathers in to pitch the 8th
Is Weathers like your Timlin, or is he still actually good sometimes?

[Falls City Beer]

Weathers vs. Drew? Ugh. Though it's not like Affeldt's been any good the last 2-3 weeks.

[Reds Fanatic]

Drew just missed a homer on Weathers first pitch. A double off the top of the wall in left.

[RedlegJake]

Whew. Weathers needs to be gone. Thank you for the years David, but its time.

[jesusfan]

Is Weathers like your Timlin, or is he still actually good sometimes?

He is still being awarded for last season...

[jesusfan]

That was close!

[RedlegJake]

Just missed being fair. Weathers was lucky there.

[jesusfan]

4-2 Boston... Weathers is going to get hurt out there if he don't watch out...

[CTA513]

The Reds finally score another run and Weathers quickly gives it back.

[Reds Fanatic]

They should had Lowell out after the hit but no one covered first.

[Tony Cloninger]

Weathers like Timlin? More like Tom Boom-Boom Hume of 1984 yore.

[jesusfan]

Lowell out at home... 1 down... shew Weathers... wow

[Reds Fanatic]

Youkilis with a double. Lowell thrown out at home from Bruce to Janish to Bako.

[RedlegJake]

Single. 4-2. Then a dumb rundown error by Votto. And the Reds are giving this game away. That's about 10 wins this year they've simply handed over. Now along blast past Bruce. But a great throw at the plate from Janish to get him OUT!

[blumj]

He is still being awarded for last season...

I think Timlin's still living off 2005. But, yeah, this is a Timlin inning.

[Falls City Beer]

The Reds finally score another run and Weathers quickly gives it back.

It's nice that the Reds finally have 2 very good arms in their pen; it's a shame the other five would be lucky to stick in most organizations' AAA squad.

[Reds Fanatic]

Safe to say Weathers is fooling no one.

[jesusfan]

Weathers not fooling anyone!

[Reds Fanatic]

There is another hard hit ball but right at Phillips for the 2nd out.

[RedlegJake]

Hard hit line shot grabbed on short hop and 2 out.

[jesusfan]

I bet this is the 1st time Alex Cora has ever been intentionally walked...

[RedlegJake]

Intentional walk. I'll be glad when Weathers is spelled Roenicke.

[Falls City Beer]

Walk Cash to get to Wake and force a decision.

[jesusfan]

Manny on deck... Don't walk this cat Stormy!

[blumj]

I bet this is the 1st time Alex Cora has ever been intentionally walked...
Well, that is Kevin Cash behind him.

[jesusfan]

4-2 Boston... mid 8...

[Edskin]

That should have been much, much worse. We're still within striking distance...

[jesusfan]

Cards and Kyle Lohse just beat Philly 3-2...

[jesusfan]

Here is Okajima...Let's hit him!

[jesusfan]

Bako singles!! woo hoo!

[jesusfan]

Andy Phillips up to tie it up!

[Tony Cloninger]

Does anybody here like Papelbon?...I mean outside of his great stuff obviously....but his stupid antics on the mound are tolerated while Chamberlin's are not?

I guess it depends on the team you are a fan of.

[jesusfan]

That is no strike!!

[Reds Fanatic]

That was a ridiculous strike call on the 1-1 pitch

[jesusfan]

1 down... Bruce up...

[jesusfan]

2-0 to Bruce...

[jesusfan]

3-0

[jesusfan]

Bruce with the 4 pitch walk... 1st and 2nd with the hard hitting Paul Janish up...

[Reds Fanatic]

4 pitch walk to Bruce. 1st and 2nd.

[jesusfan]

I would PH Valentin, then put Cabrera in at short for an inning....

[Tony Cloninger]

You Have To Ph For Janish!!! I Do Not Care If You Have To Move Phillips To Ss.

[Reds Fanatic]

Pitching change

[flyer85]

I hope Dusty is going to PH for Janish

[blumj]

Does anybody here like Papelbon?...I mean outside of his great stuff obviously....but his stupid antics on the mound are tolerated while Chamberlin's are not?

I guess it depends on the team you are a fan of.
The NY media started all that nonsense about Joba, ESPN picked it up from them. No one else cares. K-Rod's been doing the same thing for years.

[jesusfan]

I know this is crazy... But i'd rather have Patterson hitting right here... especially against a righty..

[RedlegJake]

C'mon shock me Dusty.

[Reds Fanatic]

I would PH Valentin, then put Cabrera in at short for an inning....

That is what they should do. Dusty has already said Cabrera is going to get a start at short sometime soon so you might as well do it here to get a better hitter up in this spot.

[jesusfan]

Delcarmen in...

[Reds Fanatic]

Manny Delcarmen in to pitch and Valentin is hitting.

[RedlegJake]

PH Javier V

[jesusfan]

Nice job Dusty!!! I called it! 4-3 GAME... Bruce to 3rd...!!!

[Reds Fanatic]

Valentin with a hit. 4-3 Sox. 1st and 3rd.

[RedlegJake]

Javy singles! Run scores. Runner to third.

[jesusfan]

Griffey up... no DP please... run Patterson for Valentin...

[Tony Cloninger]

I agree about K-Rod as well........they are the WR's of MLB. Closers.

[jesusfan]

Oh yea... on a roll! Oh yea... just Pinch-run Cabrera and put him in at short...

[RedlegJake]

Cabrera running for Valentin. Junior up

[jesusfan]

How huge would a Griffey homer be here???

[jesusfan]

2-0...

[Tony Cloninger]

Good Job Dusty.....for PH...and Valentin for doing your Smokey Burgess routine.

[jesusfan]

3-0... nice block though...

[jesusfan]

double freaking play... wow

[AmarilloRed]

I would settle for a SF to tie game. Too late.

[flyer85]

that was sorry

[jesusfan]

If he has the green light right there you have to play hit and run.... if it's a ball big deal... he walks!!!

[RedlegJake]

3-0 and he swings. I don't care if it is Junior -that is dumb dumb dumb.

[flyer85]

gets jammed on a 3-0 fastball and hits into a DP. The old guys really kill this team

[jesusfan]

Just when you think the Red's start doing the things to win they do something like that...

[Tony Cloninger]

Good Grief...on 3-0???

[WVRedsFan]

poor decisions everywhere today. That's the difference in a winning club and a losing club.

[CTA513]

If you swing on 3-0 you better smash the ball.

[Buckeye33]

Worst thing I've seen in years.

Unreal.
