8/28/07 - Reds vs Pirates(Game 1) - Game Thread

[RBA]

Hatte is jammed. 1 out.

[RBA]

Edwin is one swing away from tying this up.

You take the opportunity when it presents itself(doesn't matter the inning), otherwise you end up like Jerry. I remember a game last year when Wedge caught Narron with his pants down by sending up Hafner in the 4th with the bases loaded. It was the decisive AB in the game and it was the 4th. You take the opportunities when they come, it is as simple as that.

BTW, Pete won't send up Dunn until Ellison anyway, he wasted an AB on Ellision that he should not have. Dunn may bat in the 9th but he could have hit in the 7th and 9th.

Why would that be catching him with his pants down? I would categorize that as a gamble that paid off by the opposing manager. Wedge doesn't manage like that every game. But I would never use an exceptional situation to prove my rule, but that's just me.

Dunn's up with two outs and runners on 1st and 3rd after Valentin singles to center.

[OnBaseMachine]

This was one of the worst managed games I have ever seen.

[Red in Chicago]

Well, we were due to lose...let's just hope the good Bronson shows up later tonight

[BoydsOfSummer]

Dunn strikes out too much.

Every single at bat this game!
