Reds vs. Phillies Tuesday 8/21

[Maker_84]

team defense has been just bad lately, hopefully a gold glover and leader like Votto back in the lineup will help

[Red Raindog]

well great start gang -- E from BP & a seeing eye grounder into right ---

[Red Raindog]

lucky to get that ball back -- Howard has officially become a hot hitter

[rolenmvp]

we have always struggled at philly.

My friends, we may be looking at the end of Homer Bailey the starter tonight. There is no way the Reds can justify sending out somebody pitching as bad as Bailey. After 5 straight bombs, they will have to make a move there.

I think the next time Bailey pitches after tonight, it will be in the bullpen where he can get fresh. This may be the last start he ever makes.

You willing to make a wager on this post?

They swing at our pitches like they know what's coming.

[Maker_84]

if the reds lose this game then winning 1 game in 4 might be a success, actually i think it will be a success

The good news is we will leave Philly atleast 3 1/2 up

The better news is they won't be in the playoffs this year.

[Who Dey Time]

Good bounce back.

[Red Raindog]

that was a generous called strike three for Homer -- getting out of it with only one run is a success

[Stray]

1 run is a win. Still, everything these guys are swinging at is being hit hard somewhere...yikes.

[Trajinous]

Phew, that was gift from the ump.

Well they have 65 losses. It take 81 to be .500. If they go on a tear like the Reds did they could sneak into second Wildcard. It would be a long shot
