I predict this to be the single most neglected game thread ever.
It's that silly pigskin thing again, isn't it.
We seem to be approaching some sort of lineup stability. Other than switching catchers and pitchers, this lineup is the same as the last few days.
Last night the REDS bats looked awfully inconsistent against a Jeff Suppan who "looked" (looks can be deceiving) wild and very hittable.
Villanueva supposed to start today for Brewers. Kid can bring it, hopefully that heat will be more to the taste of our hitters.
There's a game?
:p:
Doesn't help that FSN is showing such spectacles as billiards and beach volleyball instead.
Then again, not sure I blame them. Gotta be cheaper.
I think a few years ago a Josh Hall September start didn't even get a thread, just a recap post in the previous days game thread :lol:Quote:

4 pitch walk to Hopper
Keppinger lines a single to center. Norris almost forced at 2nd.
Griffey Ks swinging on one high and outside.
Griffey K's and looked bad doing it...
I'm with you gray !!!
Brandon Phillips pops to short. 2 down, 2 on.
Dunner gets to full count, then walks.
EE pops out to Fielder. Nothing....
It takes a lot of OBP to strand a lot of runners.
EE has had all kinds of issues with IF pop ups this year. I'd love to hear from a scout what he's doing, because it's got to be mechanical. Dropping his back shoulder maybe?
Just seems like he's trying to kill the ball instead of just put good wood on it.
Belisle starts with 2 K's
Weeks Ks.
Counsell Ks.
Dillon Ks.
Belisle topping out around 93 today so far.
Reds go quietly, then Belisle gets his 4th straight K
Then his 5th straight K
Even in a lost season, I am liking the Reds more than the Bengals. I am entirely unimpressed with the Bengals D.
Belisle impressing so far.
Belisle with 6Ks in 2 IP.
What Bengals D?
After 5 K's, a walk and SB then the 6th K !!
Belisle in the 2nd:
Ks Fielder.
K's Hart.
Hardy walks.
Estrada Ks.
Belisle 6 Ks in 2 innings!
What is the record for strikeouts in a 9 inning game? It seems implausible that Belisle will continue this pace, but I am curious.
Hopper pops out to 1st.
I would be shocked if he gets more than 10. Happy, but shocked.Quote:

Thanks to TexasDave for the PM, the record is 20Ks in a 9 inning game.
Phillips flies out to fairly deep right.
Belisle gets 1st out on FO...... he's a bum
I think the Brewers scored...
uggh. My grandma has more range than Griffey. He's a glorified DH right now.
Did Kerry Wood do that in a game once - was it his first game???:confused:Quote:

Bob Uecker with the understatement of the year: "Jr without the range he once had ..."
with 2 outs... a walk and an opposite field single. Followed but sharp opposite field single that got by Griffey for double.
