Good job Jose.

Would really feel good to plate a couple of insurance runs here.

Uh oh Rexy, don't think this one has the distance...

Hoover gets that slightly high and slightly outside pitch a lot.

What is with walking leadoff batters?

This is it, regardless of your rebuttal as we are having a good game offensively finally.

I GUESSED the Reds will win the NLDS in 5....and lose the NLCS in 7....that's 12 games and without calculating right on Stubbs PA per game when he starts. I'm guessing Frazier will get 2 starts and several pinch hitting appearances.

You keep saying that will likely get us to the WS.....but he'd be up around 70 or so in a typical type playoff series run. I already said the only way around it would be to sweep the first two series and then sweep or get swept in the WS.

You were so appalled that I couldn't understand how the Brewers or Phillies had no chance being 5 back with 20-21 to play and 3 teams ahead of them....why can't you understand my numbers? And don't rebut that I don't get it that Stubbs with 5 PA means we are probably winning. We are something like 34-13 when he gets 5 PA....but the problem there is they are best of 5 or best of 7 series.....and thru Stubbs first 16 times this year with 5 PA...the Reds were 8-8.

No one will be any happier if we win the World Series....knocking off the Cards and Yankees would be even sweeter....

"It's our year" has been what I've been saying for 2 months....but this stuff has to keep up, hopefully it will but I don't trust it to keep up....especially if the luck-butt Cardinals get in.

The fact you think he is going to play every inning of the playoffs is your first mistake. Your second is if he gets that many PA it means we are scoring so who care who in the line up if the pitching costs us games. He has 51 games this year with 5 or more PA with 4 of those extra inning games which we are 1-3, and the record in those 51 games is 38-13 .745 and .787 in 9 inning games.

For him to get 56 PA and us not to make the WS means its not going to be his fault so who in the hell cares who starts in center if the pitchers completely collapse and cost us several games.

The funniest thing you wrote is saying I don't understand numbers when talking about 4 teams in front of someone and needing to make up 5 games, that's the hardest thing to do in all of baseball, You basically need to win every game you play to pull that off. One has to have no base of reality if they teams are making up 5 games in 20 when the team they are chasing has one of the easiest schedules in all of baseball.

We are just asking for it....seriously.

New Rule. Game Thread posts have to be ten words or less. It will take me half an inning to finish that last post.

you are voted off the thread - too many words

[texasdave]

Whichever pitcher gets through Rizzo, Soriano and Castro...

[Ironman92]

I love Hoover's mound presence...but not convinced his stuff is matching, but working well and love how he goes about it. He owns it.

[texasdave]

...should get the save.
