[Chip R]

Centerfielder doesn't lead off.

[Chip R]

Oh, that George: "This ASG will be the 5th one hosted by St. Louis. They've already hosted 4."

[Reds Fanatic]

Hairston strikes out swinging. 1 out.

[Screwball]

Hairston was fooled badly on that strikeout pitch.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Loshe known for being up and down. Well, he had a good outing last time out...so that means that we shell him tonight, right? riiiiiiight? :O)

[Reds Fanatic]

Infield hit for Dickerson.

[Reds Fanatic]

Dickerson is picked off by Molina. 2nd time that has happened this series.

[Chip R]

And he gets picked off by Molina.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Our team baserunning has really surprised me as to how mediocre it's been. I really thought we had the makings of a fantastic running team.

Lack of aggression, not keeping their heads in the game, picking poor spots to run, very few hit & runs. Depressing considering the athletes on this club. Who's in charge of that aspect of the game as far as the coaching staff goes?

[CTA513]

Pretty easy inning for a guy who was having forearm problems

[Reds Fanatic]

Phillips grounds out to 3rd. 0-0 mid 1st.

[Screwball]

Lohse made it look easy there in the 1st. Not one ball even remotely hit hard, fair or foul. He's pretty tough when he spots his fastball like he is right now.

That play with Dickerson is a lack of concentration. Molina known for doing that has already done it this series and Dickerson gets caught and it wasn't really close.

Yep, I agree. But it's happened a LOT more than it should this year. Do the Reds have a running coach?
