5-23-12 vs Braves

I LOVE me a squeeze play in a game like this

[Kc61]

I HATE bunting but I'd be tempted to safety squeeze here.

Can't squeeze with the lefty hitter. Too easy to get the runner with an outside pitch.

Now a pitching change, Venters probably hurt after the Votto liner.

Another lefty, this O'Flaherty guy, pretty hard to hit.

[Kc61]

If Reds won't pinch hit Leake, my first choice, then pinch hit Wilson Valdez who will definitely get down the squeeze bunt.

It sure would be a pretty time for #11. :O)

Absolutely right. I wasn't thinking about that.

[Tom Servo]

damn

[Kc61]

DP.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Or....a gidp. Ugh

[kbrake]

Would have loved a strikeout.

[RedlegJake]

ugh

Bruce needs a game or two off. He's killing us right now

[_Sir_Charles_]

Yep. He needs a mental break.

[Kc61]

These lefty relievers on the Braves are very tough on lefty batters. Bruce is 0-8 lifetime against the two guys, with six strikeouts. Very tough matchup.

[WVRedsFan]

Hold em and hope to get some hitters up in the 10th because with A pinch hitter, Frazier and Hanigan up, I do not see a rally.

[WVRedsFan]

Chapman in.
