Phillies @ Reds - Wednesday - 08/31/2011
 

Insignificant trivia: Cliff Lee's middle name is Phifer.
Significant trivia: Cliff Lee could well be the pitcher of the month for August. 4-0 in 4 starts. 31IP 17H 2ER 7BB 32K. xFIP? Probably miniscule.
Small sample size fact. Reds have had mucho success against Cliff Lee. http://www.baseball-reference.com/pl...=1&submitter=1

Pre-game question: Who gets more total bases - Janish, D-Train, Sappelt, Stubbs or Cairo????

If at first you don't succeed.......

If I am Yonder I walk, I mean I pack up, tell Walt he will see him AZ come Feb and say good bye. What could the Reds do? They are not playing him and not paying him that much.

I have no clue -- no Alonso again --

Play Ball!!!

Re: Phillies @ Reds - Wednesday - 08/31/2011
 

No Alonso again - Dusty has no clue.

Color me not entirely convinced that Dontrelle is for real yet.

Re: Phillies @ Reds - Wednesday - 08/31/2011
 

D-Train comes into the game with a 3.8 BB/9. And walks the first batter. Living on the edge when you pitch like that.

Re: Phillies @ Reds - Wednesday - 08/31/2011
 

Willis walks the first two. Utley and Howard licking their chops.

Re: Phillies @ Reds - Wednesday - 08/31/2011
 

Need a groundball here.

Re: Phillies @ Reds - Wednesday - 08/31/2011
 

Geez. Willis' fastball is in the mid-80s.

Re: Phillies @ Reds - Wednesday - 08/31/2011
 

Willis gets a groundball but the Reds can only force the runner at second.

Re: Phillies @ Reds - Wednesday - 08/31/2011
 

Need another ground ball. 3-6-whoa! A mixup at first on the return throw and they don't get Howard. Run scores. Fundamentally sound.

Re: Phillies @ Reds - Wednesday - 08/31/2011
 

Pence lines hard to Stubbs. One run scored that shouldn't have. Oh well. Nine innings left to get it back.

willis is not worth a dime

Re: Phillies @ Reds - Wednesday - 08/31/2011
 

One back-to-back singles and another fundamentally unsound play on a bunt by Lee loads them up.
