    5-2-10 Reds at Redbirds

    Reds Lineup courtesy of Fay...

    Drew Stubbs 8
    Brandon Phillips 4
    Joey Votto 3
    Scott Rolen 5
    Jay Bruce 9
    Orlando Cabrera 6
    Laynce Nix 7
    Ryan Hanigan 2
    Aaron Harang RHP


    I think we’ve seen a changing of the catchers for now at least. Hanigan seems to be the three-day guy and Ramon Hernandez the two-day guy.


    Big game day, as they say, difference between winning the series and losing the series, difference between being above or below .500, difference between a great road trip (5-1) and a good road trip (4-2).


    The Reds face Chris Carpenter, no easy task. They need Harang to be good, like he was in his last start.
    A win today and we're looking at a 5-1 ROAD trip. I'd take that. :O)

    I haven't been able to get any of the games. How do the Cardinals fans react to Rolen?
    “I don’t care,” Votto said of passing his friend and former teammate. “He’s in the past. Bye-bye, Jay.”

    They gave him a pretty warm ovation. No boo's really. Two ticks higher than a golf clap.

    A good reason to NOT let Pujols beat you.

    Heisey would have been a nice change today. Stubbs flashed some potential last season however those home runs have gone to his head. His swing is long.
    If you have a losing record at Reds games, please stop going.

    Has Harang always pitched from the first base side of the rubber like that? I can't remember him being that far over before.

    His swing is always long, he struck out a lot in the minors.

    He needs to go back to AAA.

    If the Reds' organization reads these game threads, I don't see them sending you any Christmas cards.

    He had been choking up in the lower levels. Now even with two strikes on him he is generating some wind with that swing. Should call him the human wind turbine.

    As far as Harang goes Nate it could be Price shifted Harang over to the side more. I am sure Harang is willing to try anything to salvage his career.

    There was an example of good scouting. Teams have been shifting their infielders against Bruce this year, knowing 95% of his groundballs go to the right of the second base bag. Sure enough, shading toward the middle, Brendan Ryan scoops up a ball going over the bag and throws out Bruce.
