Re: 3/26/09 Reds vs Twins
Dickerson just made a great throw to nail a runner at the plate. No score after a 1/2 inning.
Re: 3/26/09 Reds vs Twins
It was insane that they sent that guy. He was out by 30 feet.
K looking by Taveras. Lazy pop out by Hairston.
Re: 3/26/09 Reds vs Twins
Weak check swing ground out from Votto.
Three weak to ugly at-bats from the Reds in the first.
Delmon Young with a single to start the 2nd. Owings getting hit fairly stoutly to start the game.
Re: 3/26/09 Reds vs Twins
What the heck was Taveras doing there? A routine pop fly to center and Taveras pulls up and forces Phillips to attempt to make the over the shoulder catch. Runners on first and second and nobody out. That is the center fielders ball.
Re: 3/26/09 Reds vs Twins
Silly play by Phillips there to try the over-the-shoulder catch. Taveras and/or Bruce was there and should have called him off. Phillips drops it, and runners are on first and second with no outs rather than one out runner on first.
Re: 3/26/09 Reds vs Twins
That 2-2 pitch sure looked like a strike. Guess not.
Re: 3/26/09 Reds vs Twins
Good gravy, Owing just got squeezed again on the 3-2. Tough call for ball four.
Bases loaded, no outs.
Re: 3/26/09 Reds vs Twins
Owings is falling behind everyone tonight, though that last pitch should have been strike three. I guess its spring training for umps too.
Re: 3/26/09 Reds vs Twins
Supposedly Nick Blackburn is under orders not to swing, so this ought to be a K.
Re: 3/26/09 Reds vs Twins
K. Blackburn is no Owings with the bat in hand.
Re: 3/26/09 Reds vs Twins
Nice stop by Ramon H. of a ball in the dirt. Very nice.
Owings still can't find the plate.
Re: 3/26/09 Reds vs Twins
At 3-0 on Spann, Owings throws two fastballs for strikes to run the count full...
Re: 3/26/09 Reds vs Twins
Ack. Another pitch that looked AWFULLY good, but apparently was off the plate to the outside.
Bases loaded walk, 1-0 Twins.
Re: 3/26/09 Reds vs Twins
Owings then gets a soft line drive to SS that turns into an easy inning-ending DP.
1-0 Twins.
7 baserunners through two innings. One run.
