3-9 Reds vs Bucs

[Heath]

Echo others, I read the postings re: EE's hot start as saracsm that we have had to be rooting for that so that he doesn't lose his spot.

And, really, at least the comments here make some sense. I couldn't resist responding to a couple at Lancaster's site that are critical of EE for hitting too many homeruns and say that he should be concentrating on oppostite field singles.

At least that view hasn't shown up here as of yet...

If it does, I vote for Krono to take them out.

2-1 heading to the bottom of the ninth.

Jake Robbins locks down the save and the Reds win.

[Red Rover]

2-1 Reds final score.

[KronoRed]

I have to say that EE's home run was extremely win efficient

Is this the shortest game thread ever?

[Danny Serafini]

We're still working into regular season form.

It's short, but scrappy.

Ughh I stopped posting there, refuge of ill informed.... I'll echo it again Hank Saur was a dead pull hitter and the Reds tried to fix him, he only hit 240 or so HR's when he left the Reds, and when he left he held the team single season HR record... on a team with little power history he was treated like crap by Giles... who at the time was more Seattle Pat Gillick than Toront Pat Gillick.
